Fiery patterns, like pulsating veins, spread across La Signora’s body in an instant. The dark crimson glow consumed her form, clothing her once more in the blazing mantle and robe of an anguished Harbinger.
"For this world... I bring ultimate retribution!"
Signora ascended, riding on a moth wreathed in flames that carried her toward the battlefront where the Knights of Favonius stood their ground.
Childe sighed heavily. "Let’s follow her. If that lunatic loses c...

"This time, we’ve been outplayed."
Albedo led the group in a swift retreat. They had fallen victim to a gap in information—by the time Diluc and Kaeya returned injured, it was already too late.
If not for the strike team’s unconventional methods in infiltrating Dragonspine Valley, the Abyss Order would have completed their summoning and re-summoning rituals during the battle with the Knights of Favonius.
The strike team’s efforts weren’t without merit; they had don...

"Knights of Favonius, we shall not falter!"
The rallying cry from Jean echoed through the camp, met with a thunderous response from the knights. A visible surge of Anemo energy swept through the camp, coalescing into the form of a massive, protective azure lion standing guard over the knights.
Above the lion, an equally enormous eagle soared in the skies, its piercing gaze sweeping across the battlefield. Even the non-Knights adventurers nearby found themselves momentarily breathl...

"What the—? Are the Abyss rituals fueled by negative emotions or something?"
Gu Sanqiu slammed his weapon into the altar, shattering it to pieces. "That’s about as morbid as it gets."
From the events unfolding, one thing was clear: while the underground and surface worlds had vastly different power systems and appearances, their essence wasn’t so different.
Living beings feared pain. They feared death. And more than anything, they feared being killed.

Gu Sanqiu quickly took on the role of a competent healer, distributing pills to those whose elemental energy and stamina had been significantly drained. Then, he approached Diluc and Kaeya, placing his fingers on their wrists.
“Don’t bother checking,” Gu Sanqiu said flatly. “We all know we’re in no shape to fight. That much is obvious to us.”
Kaeya let out a bitter laugh. “Walking normally shouldn’t be a problem, but expecting us to do anything strenuous again? Tha...

The night was deep, and the moon hung high in the sky, bathing the world in silver light.
Luo Qing could hear the faint sound of sobbing coming from the girl in his arms.
He didn’t speak. Instead, he gently patted Furina’s back, offering silent comfort.
Over the past few days, this had become a nightly occurrence. Every deep night, Furina would cry quietly in his arms, as though treating him as a voiceless confidant.
Her confessions, however, were nothing but her m...

Since Furina’s public declaration of wanting to experience a mortal romance, Fontaine’s media had been thrown into a frenzy. Newspapers across the nation were scrambling to report on her relationship, with Luo Qing’s photo prominently displayed on their front pages.
The buzz surrounding this news even rivaled that of the prophecy foretelling Fontaine’s sinking.
Following her announcement, Furina had become bolder than ever. No longer...

“Alright...”
Furina suddenly stood up, brushing off the dust from her skirt.
“We should head back. If we don’t sleep soon, the sun will be up.”
She turned to leave as she spoke. Luo Qing followed silently, his mind still dwelling on her earlier words.
What did she mean by "I can’t trust anyone else"?
Does she have some plan to save Fontaine on her own?
The two walked quietly back to Furina’s room. Luo Qing settled beside his ...

As the highest point in Fontaine, the summit of Palais Mermonia offered a panoramic view of the city. From its vantage point, the intricate maze of Fontaine’s streets and alleys sprawled below, while in the distance, the endless expanse of mountains and sea stretched into the horizon.

The battle, with its sheer intensity, was far beyond what Accelerator and Reimu Hakurei could fully grasp.
Even the three adepti who watched from the sidelines—Mountain Shaper, River Carver, and Cloud Retainer—were momentarily stunned.
Mountain Shaper, suppressing the discomfort from his earlier injuries, forced himself to his feet. Watching the combat unfold before him, he found himself speechless.

The figure rising slowly from the crystallized magma was tall and strikingly elegant.

Draped in a crimson cheongsam, her snow-white legs were exposed, the fabric decorated with intricate embroidery of a divine crimson bird that seemed almost alive.
Her calm voice rang out, but to the four adepti, it was a sound all too familiar.

A pitch-black void filled Assassin’s vision, with not a glimmer of light to pierce through the suffocating darkness. Saber’s unleashed Noble Phantasm had collapsed the entire sewer system, reducing it to ruins.
Fuyuki City trembled as if struck by an earthquake, and its citizens couldn’t help but feel the aftershocks rippling through their homes and streets.
Assassin had escaped. His position, farther from Caster than Lancer's, had saved him. When Saber’s devastating strik...

Kiritsugu Emiya was both a dreamer who yearned for world peace and a ruthless realist. These two traits, when combined, forged the complex man he had become.
Deep in his heart, he loved humanity—yet paradoxically, he had resolved to kill anyone and everyone if necessary.
This love was unique. It was neither affection, nor desire, nor even romantic love. It was a kind of detached, almost saintly benevolence. Perhaps this was the very meaning of the phrase the saint has no mer...

In the blink of an eye, three days of the Holy Grail War had passed. Yet, not a single Servant had returned to the Throne of Heroes.
Despite its fierce potential, the battlefield had yet to descend into true chaos. Noble Phantasms remained sheathed, hidden away like treasures no hero was willing to reveal lightly.
It wasn’t fear of exposing their True Names or a concern over mana.
The Noble Phantasm was the essence of a hero’s legend, their ultimate glory. A crystallizat...

Assassin could feel the immense reach of Lancer’s crimson spear, [Gáe Dearg]. Even veiled by its protective runes, its aura stung her senses like a needle prick to her skin.
The weapon’s length alone posed a challenge—far greater than the reach of Saber’s holy sword. She knew that with one wrong step, the fight would be over in an instant.
What should I do?
Assassin was no fool. Aggravating Lancer was a surefire way to get herself impaled. ...

Lancer had discovered another Servant capable of matching his pace!
This revelation both surprised and delighted him. He had long yearned for the opportunity to cross blades with a worthy opponent, one who could truly challenge him.
The Holy Grail had informed Lancer of the premise of this grand ritual—a gathering of heroes across eras to prove, through valor and might, who was most deserving of the omnipotent wish-granting chalice.
To Lancer, it was nothing less than a kn...

Dead bodies.
Missing person reports piled up on the police chief’s desk, only to quietly trickle into the world behind the curtain—the secret realm of magi.
By jurisdiction, Fuyuki City fell under the governance of the Tohsaka family. Naturally, Tohsaka Tokiomi received word of the mounting disappearances.

The path was riddled with unseen observers, countless eyes lurking in the shadows and hidden familiars stationed at every turn. Assassin could feel their sharp gazes, intangible yet piercing, all trained on her.
She was certain Kirei noticed them too. Unlike their previous excursion for food, this time, Assassin’s presence would undoubtedly be exposed.
Yet Kirei made no effort to hide her. Instead, he wal...

From a first-person perspective, Kirei endured the dizzying acrobatics of dodging Archer’s endless barrages, the suffocating blood...

The wine was the finest Rider had “conquered” from the market, its rich flavor invigorating her senses. Perhaps it was because of Artoria’s body, but the subtle stimulation from the wine sent a pleasant warmth coursing through her.
