Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos Page #6

---

It looks like a regular church.

Brother!

There's wind.

I see.

The towers from the era of Milos are covered by Cletan buildings.

And could this be the entrance to another world?

Is this...

...a city from the era of Milos?!

Why is it underground?

It's probably the Cletans' doing.

In the past, the people of Milos forged the Star of Blood here.

After hearing about it, Cleta conquered Table City and sealed it in its entirety.

They wanted to keep the legend's secrets to themselves?

But before they could figure out the secret,

this place was taken over by Amestris, intent on expanding its territory.

It looks like...

...someone from Amestris found out about the secret, too.

The church is just a dummy to disguise the underground entrance.

Which means the secret of the Sacred Land is right ahead.

Huh?

There's nothing here.

So much hype for nothing.

I'm sure this room was built for some special purpose, though.

Special purpose, indeed!

Is this a coffin?

Shall we open it?

Heave, ho!

What the hell? It's empty!

What?!

What a pity.

And I was thinking you'd at least solve part of this room's riddle.

Soyuz!

I had this coffin built to catch those useless Alchemists.

So you're the bastard searching for the Philosopher's Stone!

All I know is that there's some secret to this room.

All that's left is to wait for those flies from Milos.

A bastard like you can't possibly make good use of the Philosopher's Stone!

No need to worry.

There are plenty of people in this world who want the Philosopher's Stone.

And they've got plenty of money, too.

Major, we've got trouble!

What?

There's an explosion on the Amestris border!

It's Miranda and her team.

What an impatient bunch.

I'll just wait in anticipation, then.

Take care of them.

We should've brought an army division with us.

Who would've thought the valley bottom people would set the stage for their own destruction?

Colonel Herschel, it's ready.

Everyone, attend to your stations.

I repeat. Everyone...

Multiple terrorists are flying over the fire on the other side of the valley!

Calm down! It's a distraction!

Keep your attention here!

What just happened?

It's almost time.

We're counting on you, Miranda.

Just a little more!

We'll get rid of you before the flies arrive.

Can I ask a question?

What?

Are there many other underground chambers like this in Table City?

How regrettable.

Had you been able to solve the city's riddle, you could've seen them all.

I see.

Regrettable, indeed.

How kind of them.

We were ready to welcome them even if they hadn't visited so courteously.

Hey, you hear me, Soyuz?!

We're coming to kick your ass!

What are you doing?! Get rid of them!

Don't let them meet up with those flies!

Major, watchpost four is under attack.

They're here.

The Black Bats are heading for the underground church!

Capture those Alchemists before they get there!

This isn't the only secret chamber!

We can't solve this riddle even if we find them one by one!

Black Bats!

They're not heading underground?!

Julia!

Julia, it's dangerous!

This city's in trouble!

Ed, Al!

This is a trap!

A trap to catch all of you!

Julia!

There's a mechanism in this city!

You mustn't touch it!

Both of you should leave this city quickly!

We will proceed forward for the sake of our future.

Sorry, and thanks for your advice.

If punishment awaits, let it fall onto me.

Hey!

Julia!

Let's go, Al!

We've broken into the watchpost on the west side.

And with that, we've killed all the

infiltrating mice with an explosion.

We'll fly at very low altitudes in the town areas.

We'll use the heat from the fires to rise

straight up and attack the central watchtower.

Why?

Why aren't they going underground?!

The second defensive line has been breached!

They're headed towards this watchtower!

What the hell are the ground troops doing?!

Their men, having infiltrated our troops, are

now causing chaos and halting our movements!

So they intend to hide underground after paralyzing my troops?

What nerve.

Major, we must escape.

There'll be no way out once they reach the stairs!

They're going to attack that tower!

Is the Star of Blood there?

There they are!

Geez, what a pain in the ass!

Major, above you!

How could he...

Don't mind him! Let's go!

Is it here, Ashley?

Yeah.

Where is the path to the Star?

Right here.

Look at this.

What is that?

The voice pipe to relay orders.

Many pipes like this one run throughout the city.

Although it's now being used as a voice pipe, there was another use for it in the past.

Another use for it?

Yes.

That is the secret of the Sacred Land.

Ashley...

What are you doing?

Brother, stop!

Alan!

Why?

This must be done.

What are you talking about?!

Listen, Julia.

A network of voice pipes like this one

was laid out throughout the Sacred Land.

Do you know what'll happen if we spill human blood into it?

Miranda!

Yes, there isn't a single drop of blood in this world that isn't useful.

This is a three-dimensional Transmutation Circle drawn with blood of living humans!

No way...

First Lieutenant Atlas, it's been a long five years.

Good work, Sergeant Raul, for helping me look after Julia in the valley.

What's going on?

He used to be a Cletan soldier.

Right, Sergeant?

This is all for the Star.

We can finally create a nation that won't lose to Cleta or Amestris, First Lieutenant Atlas!

No way...

Alan...

Good work, Sergeant Raul.

First Lieutenant... why?

There isn't quite enough blood yet to complete this Transmutation Circle.

Julia, do you remember me?

I've been waiting for this day to come ever since I eavesdropped on your parents' conversation.

What? Is everything all right?

It all started the moment I was made to guard that filthy family of scholars from the valley!

Atlas?

Officer Atlas!

You lied to us...

Unforgivable!

So you do remember me.

I wanted to test my Alchemy skills...

...so I joined the Cletan army.

But I got fed up of all the politics within the army.

It was then that I met your family.

Your father was an incredible man for

branding his research onto his two children.

But you were still too young then.

Too young to complement Ashley's map.

I've waited so anxiously for five years!

What did you do to my brother?!

I ripped off his skin and placed the map on myself.

You killed... my brother?

What's the point of asking that now?

You... You killed my brother...

You bastard!

Let me take a good look at that map on your body.

Get mad! Get even madder!

That's it, very good.

With this...

With this, the true map has been completed!

That's the secret Mom and Dad left behind?

That's right.

It's the map that'll show where the

Star of Blood will be once it's forged.

I have no use for you now.

Like the rest of them, you can contribute your blood to the Transmutation Circle-

Run...

Miranda!

How annoying.

Miranda!

You... must live...

Miranda!

These guys really waste my time.

Bastard, what's the meaning of this?!
