MP : 87 The Power of the Legendary King

That afternoon, after successfully summoning Artoria, Roy and Eulyphis returned to the Clock Tower.

Their movements were swift, even somewhat hurried, almost as if they were fleeing.

This was all Eulyphis' idea.

After all, the terrifying magic ritual displayed in Glastonbury could not be kept secret. The horrifying scene caused all the magus in London to look up in awe.

The dazzling white pillar of light pierced through the clouds and cut across the sky, even obscuring...

The atmosphere grew heavy as all members of the Night Raid gathered in one place.

No exaggeration—if August decided to make a move against them, Night Raid would cease to exist.

That reality wasn't lost on Najenda. Her sharp gaze swept over her fallen comrades, noting that while they were incapacitated, none were seriously hurt. It was clear: August had no intent to kill.

"Relax," August said calmly. "I'm not here to harm you. I'm merely... observing."

"Who exactly a...

CA : 60 Avalon

Although it was just a small villa with a yard, as the Headquarters of the Familia, it needed a name. So, as the Captain of the Familia, Altair named this small villa Avalon.

As for why he chose this name, it was because Altair was reminiscing about his past. As a former Master who could no longer save humanity, Altair had a special fondness for this name.

So, when will he get a mission to the moonlit world?!

Alright, setting aside the question of whether he got a mission to...

MP : 86 Heroic Spirit

In the dream world.

"Merlin, is the item I asked for ready?"

After a month, Roy visited again.

"Oh? You're here to pick it up this quickly? Much sooner than I expected. Though it's still in the testing phase, it's indeed finished."

Inside the tall tower, Merlin sensed Roy's arrival and slowly opened his eyes.

"Testing phase?" Roy asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, it's still in the testing phase. After all, crafting a mystic code capable of restraining the magi...

"I, Hestia, with this declare that from today onwards, this will be the new base of the Hestia Familia!"

"Oh!!"

Altair, ever the diligent supporter, enthusiastically cheered for Hestia's speech. Although he was the only one cheering in the entire hall, it was enough to make Hestia, standing on a chair, smile with joy. Hephaestus, Takemikazuchi, and Miach, who were standing nearby, clapped happily in response.

"And now, let the Hestia Familia housewarming celebration begin!"<...

DN : [379] Najenda

In just a few short minutes, only Akame and Bulat were still standing.

The rest of the group had been knocked to the ground, but August didn’t kill them. He merely knocked them unconscious, allowing them to temporarily fall.

“Who are you?”

Akame, holding Murasame, looked at August with a serious expression. To defeat the entire Night Raid by himself—this level of combat strength was unheard of.

“My name is August. I’m not from the Empire. I just arrived in ...

MP : 85 Mystic Eyes

Pushing open the heavy door, what they saw was not an empty room but a bare metal wall.

"Hmm?" Roy was taken aback; he didn't sense any magical energy from the wall.

Was it just a purely physical construct?

No, that wasn't very realistic. It was unreasonable to find a purely physical object in a place like the Clock Tower, where magus congregated.

This iron wall was probably some kind of special mystic code.

"Please... wait a moment..."

Eulyphis said respec...

DN : [378] Waiting?

At Aria’s invitation, August arrived in the living room and had tea with her family.

Although the tea was laced with sleeping pills, it was unfortunate for them that it was only this weak concoction. The sedatives did not affect on August whatsoever.

This led to a strange situation—August conversed with them casually, while they were forced to humor him, hoping he would eventually collapse. But, to their dismay, he did not.

From their conversation, they learned that Augu...

CA : 58 New Base!

The original three-person trip to find a new home for the Familia had turned into a four-person journey. For Hestia, this was an even more exciting development. However, her intuition told her something felt off, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was. Everything seemed perfect.

She was happily being carried by Altair, the person she adored, although his left hand would occasionally playfully act up. Sakeo was quietly following beside them. Through the short time Hestia had gotte...

"So tired…"

On the third day after returning to the Clock Tower, Waver appeared at his usual spot, looking utterly exhausted... the place that gave him daily stomachaches from the endless overtime.

During his long stay at El-Melloi Mansion with Roy, the work at the Clock Tower had piled up, with no one handling it. And Kayneth had no intention of reducing his workload.

So when Waver returned to his office, he was greeted by a mountain of documents and a jam-packed schedule...

DN : [377] Aria

After returning to the Imperial Capital, August used a few clever tactics to find a remote mountain range on the outskirts of the city.

Here, he allowed the World Tree Sapling to take root in this world. Of course, August merely served as an anchor for the process—crossing time and space to arrive here was the sapling's ability, not his own.

As for the safety of the place, August paid it no mind.

In this world, the only real dangers came from a few perilous creatures, but ...

CA : 57 Final Decision

"Heh..."

Inside Hephaestus' store located atop the Babel, she let out a long sigh while leaning on the counter.

"Well, it's better to rip the band-aid off quickly. I can't let her be kept in the dark forever."

Ever since discovering the situation between Altair and Saeko, Hephaestus had been contemplating in her shop for an entire day, so much so that dark circles had appeared under her eyes from overthinking.

After a day of careful consideration, Hephaestus made a dec...

MP : 83 Return

Combat Arts.

That's right... combat arts are an elective course for magus at the Clock Tower. You didn't hear wrong. Combat arts, also known as self-defense techniques, are a skill that relies on physical strength to deal with sudden situations. magus refers to it as an expression of one's life force.

Although many magus who consider themselves noble look down on such skills, those with true insight and talent understand their importance. When establishing a magical workshop and p...

DN : [376] Murasame

The slums—a place buried beneath the grandeur of the Empire, representing the lowest rung of its hierarchy.

This was a land devoid of light, as dark as the corruption festering among the nobility. In this place, there was only one rule: survive. Stealing, robbing, murdering, deceiving—it didn’t matter the means, so long as you lived. Even the lowest worm would struggle to stay alive, for no one wanted to die.

August stepped into this desolate place, his presence marked by th...

MP : 82 Saint Quartz

"Fervor, mei sanguis."

With a low whisper, the vast magical energy surged. From the edge, both Reines and Waver could vaguely see a flash of silver light flickering in the air.

It was a silver sword.

Its blade appeared fluid, with silvery-white essence flowing continuously over its surface.

As the magus's fingers slightly twisted, the silver light glimmered even brighter.

On Roy's arm and around his eye sockets, bright white patterns emerged simultaneous...

For Altair, the situation with Lili was nothing more than a small incident. By the next day, he had already forgotten about her. Even if someone tried to investigate, they wouldn't find anything because Altair had completely destroyed the evidence... he had burned the body, and was even prepared to scatter the ashes.

"What... happened last night?"

In the old, decrepit church, Saeko couldn't help but ask Altair, who was standing beside her, as she looked at the charred ruins before...

DN : [375] Night Raid!

Where darkness exists, light inevitably follows.

In the imperial capital, a bastion of power and depravity where shadows thrive, there are whispers of rebellion. Among these whispers is Night Raid—a feared assassin group renowned across the capital. In truth, they are a secret division of the Revolutionary Army, established to dismantle the Empire's corrupt reign through covert operations.

Their missions typically involve eliminating corrupt officials and tyrants at the...

CA : 55 Death!

Liliruca Arde.

Altair didn't hold any particular malice or goodwill towards her, for one simple reason; she wasn't a character he liked.

It could be admitted that Lili's past was indeed pitiful. After her parents died, she grew up under the oppression of her Familia... an apathetic god and a Familia full of scum. Growing up in such an environment, it was no surprise she was inclined toward the dark side.

Altair didn't see her as particularly despicable, because the real culp...

MP : 81 Supreme Mystic Code

"Why are you going to that cursed place? Do you still need the Mystic Eyes?"

Kayneth raised an eyebrow and asked nonchalantly.

Roy nodded and then honestly replied, "That's right. For some special reasons, I really need a pair of suitable special Mystic Eyes right now."

He didn't explain much further, only pointing to his own head.

"…"

Seeing this, Kayneth fell silent in thought.

Noticing Kayneth lost in contemplation, Roy wasn't in a hurry. He knew that ...

DN : [374] Sin

The return to the Imperial Capital was swift and uneventful. With no need for delays or diversions, the journey took less than half a month.

Only a select group made the final stretch into the capital: Esdeath, August, the Three Beasts, and a handful of soldiers. The majority of the northern army remained stationed at the Empire’s borders.

Even the corrupt Prime Minister wouldn’t permit Esdeath to march back with her entire force of 100,000 troops. This was no ordinary imperia...

CA : 54 Veteran

Nighttime in Orario was both peaceful and restless. In most areas, there was tranquility, as many Familia compounds were located there. However, in the more remote corners of Orario, trouble always seemed to be brewing.

Inside an abandoned church, now nothing more than a dilapidated shell, the roof that once sheltered it had a massive hole blown through it, and the floor of the church was also missing a large section, leaving a gaping pit.

Next to the pit, four individuals were ti...

MP : 80 Advice

In the courtyard of the El-Melloi Mansion, Waver and Roy were taking a walk while chatting.

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a week had already passed since he arrived at Kayneth's manor.

Since that day, the group of lords and high-ranking officials at the Clock Tower had immediately sealed off the area, waiting for him for a full three days.

In the end, they realized that Zelretch might have transported him elsewhere, which was why they lifted the seal and...

DN : [373] Power

After nearly half a month of grueling labor, a massive pit was finally excavated in the icy wastelands of the northern frontier.

On this momentous day, both August and Esdeath brimmed with anticipation.

“Throw them in,” Esdeath commanded, her tone cold and unyielding.

Her soldiers obeyed without hesitation, shoving the captured tribesmen into the enormous pit. The prisoners were too weak to resist, their spirits broken after weeks of hard labor under the unforgiving nort...

MP : 79 Ambition

In the El-Melloi Mansion, the Great Library.

Knock Knock Knock

A rhythmic knocking sound echoed in the quiet space, continuing for quite some time before it finally ceased.

An ancient study was piled high with various books and papers, the sound of a fountain pen scratching against a parchment filling the air.

In the corner of the room, a figure dressed in a student uniform with long black hair was bent over, writing something. So engrossed in...

CA : 53 Plot

An abandoned church, a secluded dwelling, and acting alone.

From all these clues, Lili could only come to one conclusion; Altair was an adventurer from a weak Familia!

Altair had an extremely powerful weapon in his possession, one that had the destructive power of a magic sword. For a small Familia to own such a weapon was a stroke of luck because it could help the Familia grow and even rise to prominence.

At the same time, it was also a misfortune for the Familia, as they l...

DN : [372] Dig Their Own Grave

The war to pacify the northern tribes had finally come to an end.

When Esdeath returned to the battlefield, her sharp eyes immediately caught sight of the decapitated body of Numa Seika and the shattered remains of a teigu scattered across the ground. It didn’t take her long to piece together what had transpired.

“I always knew you weren’t weak, but I never imagined you were this powerful.”

“Powerful? This is nothing but a fragment of my strength,” August replied...

MP : 78 El-Melloi Family

Magical energy also known as Mana originates from the earth, flowing smoothly through the layers like a river hidden deep underground.

These rivers of flowing magical energy are typically referred to as ley lines by Magus.

In this world, every ley line is highly valuable; they store immense magical energy, making them the best choice for magus to construct their workshops.

A high-quality ley line can even serve as the foundation for a magus family, and as such, they are usua...

"Fought until exhaustion?"

"Yes, she fought until she was completely worn out. Saeko, having triggered her Sword Demon skill, displayed terrifying combat abilities. From the moment we entered the dungeon, she fought her way straight to the 13th floor."

"The 13th floor!?"

Hestia's eyes widened.

"Altair-kun, if I remember correctly, the first time you entered the dungeon, you only made it to the 10th floor, right?"

"That's right. So, this shows how ex...

DN : [371] The Might!

Hatred. Rage. Jealousy. Resentment. Despair. And finally, death.

All these emotions, the raw essence of negativity, were absorbed by August like an insatiable vortex.

This wasn't a petty quarrel involving hundreds or even thousands. This was a war involving hundreds of thousands, with lives lost every passing second.

Amidst the chaos, August stood at the epicenter of this macabre dance of death, devouring it all with reckless abandon—even the souls of the fallen.

MP : 77 Third Magic

Zelterch's dwelling within the dimensional rift was far from the fantastical scenes imagined by most magus. It was rather ordinary.

The dimly lit room lacked any electric lights, with the only source of illumination coming from a weakly flickering chandelier above. Upon seeing the entire room, one could describe the décor as utterly meager.

Besides a large desk and chair, the room had nothing but pitch-black walls and bare floors.

"What's the matter, kid? Surprised by the s...
