Going back in time a bit. The battle between Isagi and Mitsurugi Ragna was in a stalemate, becoming more intense with each passing moment. If one were to look only at swordsmanship, Isagi would have been the superior. Although Ragna was a prodigy who held the position of Third Rank Fourth Seat at a young…
In the west of Shuuto, a fierce battle was taking place between the monsters that rushed towards the collapsed city wall and the Green Woods warriors who met them. The power of the monsters of Demon Island, enhanced by the magic that leaked from the demon gate, was incomparable to the species that inhabited the…
“…Why is Lord Sora here…?” Claira’s hoarse voice asked for the truth. “I heard from Ayaka that you were here. I came to see how you were doing.” Claira blinked her eyes when she heard the name of her classmate. “Ayaka…?” “Yeah. She seemed worried about you because you hadn’t shown up for a long…
It was the gatekeeper of the Mitsurugi residence who first noticed the man. The man slowly climbed the long staircase connecting Shuuto and the Mitsurugi residence, taking each step as if to confirm the sensation beneath his feet.

The dancer seemed to have polished her speed even more in the past five years. As I was thinking about that,…

The sound of a huge bell ringing like thunder echoed inside and outside the capital city of Shuuto. In my thirteen years of living on this island, I had never heard such a frantic alarm bell. It was obvious that the cause was the huge release of Kei that had just occurred. Even now, from…
“He’s strong. I didn’t doubt Klimt and the others’ reports, but I didn’t expect him to be this formidable.” A voice of admiration escaped Sidney Skyship as he watched the fight between Sora and the Earth Spider. Sora, who was in front of Sidney’s eyes, had not summoned his soul equipment. He was not using…
The Earth Spider is a monster with the shape of a spider, as its name suggests. Of course, its similarity is only in shape. Everything about it, from its size, speed, and strength, is vastly different from the spiders you see in the wild. It has eight crimson spots on its head that resemble eyes,…
Around my mother’s grave, numerous servants bustled about. Most of them did not wear swords, and they were probably maids in the inner quarters. They must have been preparing for the event that would start at noon, while the warriors were gathered in the great hall. I couldn’t talk to my mother calmly in that…
