DN : [394] Clash

BOOM!

In the remote mountains outside the imperial capital, deafening explosions echoed endlessly through the air.

“That’s not enough, Esdeath,” August said, standing atop a rocky outcrop surrounded by craters and rubble. His voice was calm yet commanding. “Your strength is only comparable to a high-class devil for now. You’re still far from your full potential.”

Across from him, Esdeath stood tall, her dark wings unfurling majestically behind her. A pit...

CA : 77 Save The World!

It's acceptable that Mumei has a D-cup. But seriously, 12 years old with a D-cup? You're telling me this is what 12 looks like? That kind of development is absurd. Even with modern people consuming too many hormones, it's rare to reach this size.

So when Altair saw Mumei, he couldn't help but complain out loud.

"What's wrong with being 12?!"

Suddenly questioned by Altair's outburst, Mumei was stunned for a moment. Who was this person? He just appeared inside the carriage, st...

MP : 103 Millenium Castle

The crimson moon hung in the sky.

The deep and ancient castle exuded a chilling and eerie atmosphere.

The blood-red sea of flowers, illuminated by the moonlight, carried not only the scent of flowers but also a smell of blood. The flower sea extended beneath his feet, while the blood moon hanging above the castle signified foreboding.

However, the colors of this world were limited to this shade of red; in the lunar realm, the cold far outweighed the blossoms.

If one we...

DN : [393] Bold Move

Time passed, and with Najenda and her team joining the Empire, its overall power surged dramatically.

The addition of Night Raid's Teigus users significantly bolstered the Empire's forces. Combined with the pre-existing number of Teigu wielders, the total now exceeded double digits, solidifying their dominance. Under Najenda's management, the Empire thrived, progressing in leaps and bounds.

The nobility, once an entrenched force, was nearly eradicated. Najenda actively recruited t...

CA : 76 No Name

Hearing the sound of the train, Altair sprinted to the top of a tree, peering in the direction of the approaching noise. In the distance, he spotted a trail of black smoke quickly advancing along the tracks.

In this world, due to the Kabane crisis, the entire globe has fallen. Even though the outbreak originated in Europe, Japan was not spared. Kabane invaded from the four main islands, swiftly spreading nationwide. In response, the Shogunate built tall walls around every city for survi...

MP : 102 Meet Again

15 JAN 25

After two months, Roy met Merlin again.

In the dream world, Merlin saw him approaching and greeted him with a smile.

"What's going on? Seeing you always feel terrible."

Merlin shook his head, "You really have no manners, showing me such an expression the moment we meet."

"Nothing, just fought so hard my head's not clear."

"Is it over?"

"Well, more or less. After fighting for so long, I should have made some progress."

Hearing this, Mer...

MT - 73 Return

Ghislaine exhaled deeply as she watched the figure of the black-robed man fade into the distance.

There was no doubt in her mind—this was the strongest opponent she had ever faced. Not because of his swordsmanship, but because of the overwhelming aura of magic he wielded. It was a suffocating pressure that tested even her formidable will.

As her tense muscles finally began to relax, Ghislaine turned her gaze toward Eris, who was still staring at the black-robed figure disappeari...

DN : [392] Under Control

"August!"

Akame uttered the name that filled her with both fear and dread.

The others, meanwhile, had already drawn their Teigus, readying themselves for combat. Only Najenda, their leader, looked at the intruder with a flicker of changing emotions in her eyes.

August stood atop the roof of Night Raid's new base, leaning against the beams. From this vantage, he gazed down at the group with an amused smile.

"We meet again, Night Raid."

August's tone was casual, al...

MP : 101 Battle

At the secret chamber in the El-Melloi family mansion.

The closed underground chamber was incredibly spacious, far larger than the Ryougi family's training grounds. This was the designated location where Kayneth tested his mystic codes and jewel magecraft.

Thus, the place was very safe and concealed.

Since it was a secret chamber, only a few people in the entire family even knew of its existence. Its excellent concealment and high safety level perfectly met Roy's criteria. 2024-12-23 16:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post

CA : 75 Zombie Again?

Altair leveled up to Level 3, which made the entire Hestia Familia happy, as he was the Captain of the Familia... though the entire Familia, including Hestia, only had three members in total.

Given that the Familia was currently in a low-profile development phase, after Altair leveled up to Level 3, Hestia didn't brag about it to Hephaestus, as he requested. Since he had leveled up to Level 2 just over a month ago, she feared that if she showed off again after his jump to Level 3, she m...

MT - 72 Another Duel

Roy was momentarily surprised to see such a polite side to his opponent, though his expression remained calm and indifferent.

From the end of the road came an angry shout.

"Are you the kidnapper?"

In the blink of an eye, a figure darted forward, covering dozens of meters in an instant. There was no mistaking it—it was Ghislaine.

Eris opened her mouth to explain, but Roy interrupted her, a faint smile on his lips as he turned to Ghislaine. "I am. What of it?"

Gh...

[391] Meeting

Night Raid's new base bustled with tense activity as everyone gathered for an urgent meeting. Sitting at the head of the table, Najenda wore a grave expression, her worry mirrored in the faces of those around her.

The cause of their unease? A seismic shift in the empire. A week ago, the Prime Minister had been executed, the young emperor had abdicated, and Esdeath had ascended to the throne as the new empress. This shocking news had spread like wildfire across the world.

Many, how...

MP : 100 Investment and Recruitment

In the end, Roy and Artoria did take Gray away from the Gravekeeper Village.

As for the residents of the Gravekeeper family, they didn't have much leisure time to feel the frustration and rage of having their home invaded after the disappearance of King Arthur's vessel.

They were already digging through every inch of land, desperately searching for clues to find the missing Gray.

Although the people from the Church likely guessed what had happened, they didn't tell anyone, r...

CA : 74 Grand Assassin

Presence is a unique attribute. Those with a strong presence will be noticed by others, even if they're just standing still. On the other hand, people with a weak presence may accomplish many things, but others will subconsciously overlook them.

Altair gained this kind of ability, which left him a bit speechless. It was just like that nameless high school girl—how rude! Not speaking could lower one's presence... This skill...

Upon reading the skill description, Altair immediatel...

DN : [390] Back

After the minister’s death, August left the rest of the aftermath to Esdeath. With no interest in the empire’s political games, he returned to the Grand General’s estate and immediately entered his pocket dimension. There, he initiated a process that required complete focus and an unwavering resolve.

August called upon the sapling of the World Tree that resided within the pocket dimension, instructing it to devour the void energy in his body. This included his own magic—all of i...

CA : 73 Big Sword Guy

After crafting a new weapon, Altair began his journey of leveling up alongside Saeko. Since the dungeon floor was quite deep, Saeko couldn't slay monsters as easily as before, even with her Sword Demon skill activated. So, she fought rationally, with Altair watching over her.

The two of them stayed on the 27th floor, defeating whatever monsters appeared. Every day, they entered the dungeon at 9 AM and left at 5 PM, following a 9-to-5 routine, taking breaks in between. It was like going ...

MP : 99 The Conclusion

"Morgan..."

Inside the shattered bounded field, the late-arriving Artoria looked at Morgan, who was already imprisoned by Roy.

Her expression was somewhat hesitant, but more than that, it was filled with uncertainty about how to face the situation.

Similarly, upon seeing Artoria appear, Morgan's expression also became strange, her eyes seemingly avoiding contact.

She feigned indifference and said, "Are you here to mock me, my foolish sister?"

"No, sister, I know ...

MT - 71 Shadows

Battles often erupt in an instant.

The leading man sneered, his figure accelerating in a flash. The gap between him and his prey was already dangerously small—a distance that spelled doom for most magicians.

His speed was impressive. Though his strength paled compared to someone like Ghislaine or even Ruijerd, his combat experience far surpassed that of his opponent. The difference was a gulf as vast as heaven and earth.

Yet experience alone isn't everything. Combat prowe...

DN : [389] Death

The ability to devour souls and absorb the memories of the deceased—was such a thing truly within the realm of humanity?

To the soldiers gathered in the square, August’s words were an unbearable shock. Ordinary men, burdened with guilt and fear, recoiled at the mention of such an unnatural power.

Humans, especially those steeped in sin, instinctively feared the darkness and the unknown. Even if the world turned a blind eye to their deeds, they could never deceive themselves. I...

MP : 98 The Witch and The Magician

As Morgan manipulated the underground grand bounded field, the landscape was constantly shifting.

To optimize her combat strategy, Morgan wisely relocated the battlefield. The narrow tunnel had now been replaced by a vast, open plain.

At this moment, the two combatants were fighting fiercely in this expansive arena.

"What's wrong, Magician of the Third Magic? Why are you dodging like a slippery eel? Weren't you the one who said I was the challenger?"

From a distance, M...

CA : 72 Growth

[Die!]

The giant ship-cutting blade was gripped in one hand, its sharp physical edge glowing with a radiant energy blade, slicing clean through the monster, cutting it in half. The massive monster's body fell in two, dying with a wail, while Altair, holding the blade, grinned wickedly.

In his left hand, he held up a signboard.

[This sword is awesome!]

Sheathing the blade behind him, Altair crouched down to pick up the magic stone.

"It seems like you enjoy that we...

DN : [388] Queen?

August turned his gaze toward Esdeath and her Three Beasts, who stood not far away. Esdeath maintained her usual composed demeanor, but her subordinates were visibly shaken.

To the Three Beasts, August had proven himself to be an overwhelming force—someone capable of defeating General Budo, a figure revered as the unshakable cornerstone of the empire. That kind of power earned their absolute respect.

"August, you killed Budo?" Esdeath asked casually, her voice devoid of judgment...

CA : 71 Saber

"All of my children are very competitive. Many of them constantly strive to rise higher, but sometimes, the more anxious they get, the harder it is for them to advance. Some of them tend to get stuck in their own ways."

"Bete is one of those children who can be a bit stubborn, and it relates to his past experiences. But thanks to your help, he broke through his limits this time. Although his past still affects him, it has forcibly elevated his strength."

"So, I wanted to ask you, ...

MP : 97 Truth Brings Pain, Lies Make Things Worse

After encountering the witch controlled by Morgan le Fay, Roy found himself in a timeless confrontation with the infamous Witch of Britain in a remote corner of the bounded field.

As a Magician, he was now challenging the ultimate mystery from the Age of Gods... the Anchor of the Planet - Rhongomyniad.

Meanwhile...

After escorting Gray and Bersac to the end of the bounded field, Artoria immediately set off to retrace her steps, hoping to aid Roy, who was still inside. As a k...

[387] Budo

In the current Imperial Capital, General Budo was akin to the nation’s final bastion of justice—a steady pillar holding the fractured Empire together.

Esdeath, on the other hand, was a blade—a weapon whose sharpness instilled fear in countless nations and powers across the continent.

“So, you’re General Budo?”

“Yes, I am. And who might you be, intruder?”

“August.”

“Very well. Judging by your demeanor, you don’t seem like a villain. Why, th...

MP : 96 The Witch

"Damn it! How can they be so reckless and disrupt all the plans I've arranged?"

Compared to the smooth and unobstructed path of Roy, the mood of the young witch on the other side was quite the opposite.

In Avalon.

Through the magical mirror in front of her, Morgan le Fay watched as Roy shattered the bounded field she had set up, feeling a surge of anger in her heart.

"Ah, don't be angry now."

"After all, this new Magician is not the kind of person who follows rul...

CA : 70 Idols?

In the days when he wasn't entering the dungeon, Altair basically had two things to do; one was to accompany Hestia and Saeko at the Familia's residence, and the other was to upgrade his equipment.

Altair gave one of his two high-frequency vibrating daggers to Saeko while keeping the other for himself in case of emergencies. As for his other equipment, he would save them for use when entering the dungeon.

So, how should he upgrade his equipment now?

Staying in his new resear...

MT - 70 Betrayed

This was no longer a situation Rudeus could change, not with the way things had unfolded.

The moment Eris spoke those words, Rudeus swiftly cast an earthen barrier with earth magic to seal off the room. Grabbing Eris, he leapt out of the window without hesitation.

Though Rudeus wasn't physically strong, his mastery over magic compensated for it. As they landed, he subtly manipulated the flow of air to cushion their descent, emerging unscathed. Without wasting a moment, he pulled E...

MT - 69 Escape

Eris lay before him, her delicate, doll-like face marred by an unsettling crimson flush. A trickle of blood clung to the corner of her mouth, her half-closed eyes betraying her fragile state. Rudeus sighed deeply; this was no time for reproach. Gently, he propped Eris against the wall and began casting intermediate healing magic.

"Holy power, the essence of life, grant strength to the weary. Rise again—Healing!"

With both hands hovering above Eris's chest—though caref...

MT - 68 The Beating

Finally, Eris got a good look at her captor. He was a burly man, middle-aged, with a rugged face that screamed danger. His disheveled appearance did little to hide the sharp glint of cruelty in his eyes.

With a malicious grin, he stepped forward and yanked the cloth from Eris's mouth. His tone was cold and commanding as he barked, "You'd better behave, or you'll regret it."

The moment her gag was removed, Eris wasted no time. Her voice rang out, loud and defiant:

"Who are yo...
