Without a word, the Sword Saint’s blade drew an arc in the air, launching an attack. It marked the beginning of a storm-like dance of slashes. Slash, slash, parry, thrust, slash, thrust, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash. Facing the relentless storm of sword strikes, I was forced to continuously retreat, unable to counterattack. Each time…
The moment I leaped into the air, pushing back against the waterfall-like pressure of the Roaring Water, the surroundings of my father and the Light God Baldur sparkled with a wildfire, followed by a series of explosions. The Flame Princess I had unleashed earlier changed its trajectory mid-air to attack both of them. This was…
To the north of the Kingdom of Canaria lay a vast forest vast enough to engulf an entire nation. This forest, known as the Titis Forest, was the subject of a certain rumor. It was said that Kijin lived deep within the woods. Kijin refers to a horned race that fought against humans for dominion…
“Phantom Blade Style Secret Technique – Ken Form, Heavenly Sword.” Shikibu, leaping high into the sky, unleashed one of the strongest Kei techniques of the Phantom Blade Style’s secret teachings upon Sora. It was the same technique Ragna had used earlier, but its power and sharpness were far beyond Ragna’s reach. While Sora had been…
The Light God, Riosvaldor. The moment his name was uttered, the Kei of Shikibu explosively intensified.

There was no splitting of the earth, nor creaking of the atmosphere, only the sound of a quiet, clear wind accompanying the unsheathing. Yet, the immense and rough pressure of…
“It’s unwise, My Lord! Engaging in conversation with such a fool is eccentric enough, let alone crossing swords with him. It is far too reckless for the head of the Mitsurugi family!” In the deathly quiet grand hall, the words of protest from Shito Gilmore Berch echoed. I thought Gilmore would welcome the idea of…
I was sitting in the grand hall of the Mitsurugi residence, facing my father. Of course, by facing each other, we weren’t sitting knee to knee in confrontation. He was in the seat of honor, and I was in a lower seat, almost as if being looked down upon. Moreover, on both sides, renowned flag…
At the moment the pressure of Kei dissipated, Gozu Seema had to resist the reflex to drop his hand onto the tatami. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and heavy breaths escaped his lips. As the Shiba of the Mitsurugi family and the Third Rank of the First Banner, Gozu was severely drained by…
“Why won’t you draw your Soul Equipment?” After several exchanges of blows, Zenon Quintos, holding his Void Armor, asked with a piercing gaze. In response, I shrugged my shoulders lightly. “It’s funny you say that when you’re the one maneuvering to prevent me from drawing my Soul Equipment.” “Nonsense. It’s clear to me that you’re…
