From the first day they met, Rozen had discovered that Merlin, like himself and Gilgamesh, was in a state of severe mana consumption.
No, compared to himself and Gilgamesh, Merlin's consumption was greater.
Because he had been in a state of recovery after obtaining Holy Annihilation, and Gilgamesh had also performed the miracle of Spirit Summoning and was recovering his mana. Only Merlin, for some reason, was still consuming his mana every day.
Although the rate of consumption was not as much as himself and Gilgamesh, it was a bit strange for him to consume mana like this every day.
Although Rozen didn't know what was going on, because of this reason, Merlin's mana had been consumed. Although it was not a state of deficit, the amount of mana he had was very little. Based on the ability parameters of a Servant, it was probably between C to D. His power must have dropped a lot compared to when he was at his peak.
But Merlin had been pretending that he didn't care. Obviously, he knew his situation very well.
Rozen was curious.
"What is the reason that causes you to consume a lot of mana like this?"
Rozen asked.
"What do you think?" Merlin shrugged and smiled as if he was trying to avoid the topic. "A large amount of Magic Power will be consumed. What exactly is the reason for this?"
"Do you still need to ask?" Rozen said without hesitation, "Either you encounter a curse or a poison that causes your mana to be passively drained, or you have been using your power all the time?"
"Correct." Merlin snapped his fingers but did not explain further. He only said, "Because I've used most of my Mana for other purposes, I'm sorry, but don't expect me to be a combat force. At most, I can provide some support in the rear. Even if I don't use up my Mana, I'm not the type to go to the front line."
"I think so too." Rozen didn't deny it, but sighed and said, "It's just, I didn't expect you, you, and King Gilgamesh to be out of form. I really don't know if someone played a prank on us."
Who said it wasn't?
Originally, Rozen thought that his problem would be the most important to deal with during this trip to the singularity.
Who would have thought that in addition to himself, Gilgamesh, as the key figure of this era, also exhausted his magical power because of Spirit Summoning. Merlin, the great magician, also consumed his magical power for some unknown reason. Both of them were in the same state as him, not in the best condition at all.
Wasn't this coincidence a little too great?
"To be honest, I was shocked myself." Merlin said helplessly, "A Wizard Envoy and two Magicians who are qualified to be crowns. In the end, their Magic Power was depleted due to various reasons. They're all in the process of recovering, so they can't unleash their full power. This has a huge impact."
At this point, Merlin truly felt like he had miscalculated.
Gilgamesh's side was fine, but the seven servants summoned by Heroic Spirit Summoning, even if the Wise King was half-human and half-god, he would lose half of his life, which was understandable.
Merlin himself also had a reason to use most of his Mana to cast an ability, but it could not be helped.
The two Magicians who were qualified to be crowns had used their own power to prepare in advance for this era and for mankind. It was understandable that they were not in the right state.
For this reason, both Merlin and Gilgamesh were actually looking forward to the arrival of Rozen, hoping that the last master of mankind could break the deadlock and lead the situation again.
Who knew that Rozen was also not in the right state, which really made Merlin and Gilgamesh feel like fate was playing tricks on them.
Fortunately, Gilgamesh could still command from the rear, and Merlin was also the type of person who could easily escape even if he couldn't win. Rozen brought two servants, one of which was the incarnation of the white giant that even the gods were afraid of. The three of them still had cards in their hands, so they could still cope with the current situation, so that mankind would not completely collapse.
At the same time, even if Rozen was not in the right state, his arrival also promoted new development, which did not disappoint Merlin and Gilgamesh's expectations.
"I only hope that the three of us have put in so much effort, in the end, we can exchange for the results we deserve."
Merlin looked at the battle in front of him, smiling and sighing as he said so.
"Yes."
Rozen nodded in agreement.
"Fou …"
Fou stood on Rozen's shoulder, looking at the two of them, and tilted its head.
"Hmph."
Ishtar had been sitting on Ma Anna's back, looking down. Listening to the conversation between Rozen and Merlin, he snorted softly and turned his head away, not knowing what he was thinking.
Not long after, the magical beasts in front were finally defeated.
"The target's group of magical beasts has been defeated, Master."
Matthew trotted back with her shield. As she made the report, her pretty face was a little red.
“.....”
Anna glared at Merlin, looking like she wanted to hack him to death on the spot. Merlin laughed dryly and quickly hid behind Rozen.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Rozen looked at this scene, curled his lips, and expressed his condolences to Matthew and Anna.
"There are no more magical beasts in front of us. The rest are the ones who got separated from the group."
Ishtar also flew down and told the others about it.
Rozen had naturally observed all this through Wisdom Eye.
So …
"Then be careful to avoid them and avoid fighting as much as possible."
Rozen gave such an instruction without hesitation.
"Aren't we going to defeat them?"
Anna raised her head slightly, looked at Rozen, and asked doubtfully.
"There's no need. We should avoid fighting as much as possible." Rozen shook his head and said, "This is not a matter of consumption, but to prevent Jin Gu from spying on us."
Previously, when Rozen first arrived at this singularity, it did not take long for Jin Gu to find him, which proved that Jin Gu's sensing ability was strong, perhaps not limited to the fir forest.
Although it was definitely effective within a certain range, and it was impossible for the other party to monitor the entire land of Mesopotamia, the other party's surveillance network must be very wide.
"Now we are still a long distance from the fir forest, so we should not be discovered, but if we fight too much, the other party is likely to notice us through the feedback of the earth."
That was what Rozen was thinking.
"So, we should avoid fighting as much as possible. Everyone also remember to bring the talisman I gave you, which can shield your surroundings to a certain extent. When we arrive at the fir forest, we can implement the plan."
With that, Rozen looked at Merlin.
"Remember to use Clairvoyance to look in the direction of the fir forest from time to time. Once you find Jin Gu coming out, tell me immediately."
Rozen's words were exchanged with Merlin's gesture.
"Well, it's okay if you just" look "at the fir forest, but if you directly" look "at the goddess in the shrine, you will be discovered and then you will be cursed. I don't want to end up like that."
Merlin's statement made everyone roll their eyes.
"Then let's keep going."
Rozen ordered, waved his hand, and several horses appeared on the scene.
Everyone got on their horses one by one and continued in the direction of the fir forest.
The sky gradually began to darken.
