For today’s dinner, it’s tempura soba. … Read more
“Huh… A student? Just… a regular one?”
“Yeah, that’s right. Everything I said before was a lie.”
“Hmph… well, whatever. It doesn’t really matter.”
Though she seemed a bit confused by Shion’s response, she quickly brushed it off with a “If you say so, then I guess that’s how it is.”
“Well then, Shion. Thanks for today. I guess I’ll give you a little bit of my gratitude.”
With those words, the girl quickly turned on her heel and walked away into the street without looking back.… Read more

“Ah, yeah. I’m a little tired, but otherwise fine.”
“Good.”
Lily murmured with relief at my response. Her face was as expressionless as ever, but it seems she was worried about me. With her help, I sat up and looked around.
It looked like I was on top of a large wooden structure resembling a ship. When I looked up, I saw the Salamander holding onto the wood extending from the sides of the ship, like the framework of a roof, and carrying us.… Read more

“I’m sorry, but you’re disqualified,”
Trao told the knight matter-of-factly.
“Why?! I fought that Griffin on equal terms!”… Read more
“Do it, Sigrum!”
“Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieee!”
Responding to my command, Sigrum swooped down from above at high speed and rammed the evil spirit’s barrier with his massive body.
“Ooohh!?”
As Sigrum’s attack caused the evil spirit to falter, the cracks on the barrier spread rapidly. Finally, with a sound like shattering glass, the evil spirit’s defense was completely destroyed.
Shocked and disoriented, the evil spirit froze for a moment when its prized shield was broken. It was a natural reaction for any creature with combat abilities to freeze when their best defense was suddenly taken down.… Read more
As I rotated my body, I unleashed another wind slash towards its unprotected back where no barrier was deployed. Although I managed to disrupt its posture, its body seemed quite tough as well, showing no signs of injury. It seemed that to damage this evil spirit, I’d need to land a direct hit with my wind blade. But could I pull it off?
As I pondered this, the surrounding walls cracked loudly, and parts of the walls, cut into rectangles, came flying at me.… Read more
“We were a group driven by the unending desire to kill the monsters that had slaughtered our families and friends. Everyone felt that way.”
Monsters were enemies of humanity. There were no exceptions. They burned, cursed, and killed humans with overwhelming violence. Many people harbored hatred towards monsters.
“We could have given up on revenge. We could have been satisfied and deceived ourselves at some point. But we didn’t. That’s why we could kill the ‘worst fiend’ in the depths of Greed, even at the cost of all our comrades and families.”… Read more
A high-pitched sound, similar to metal clashing, rang out in the space. The shockwave generated by the collision of high-density spiritual powers shattered the surrounding stained glass, scattering light.
Salamander’s attack didn’t damage the evil spirit, but it did loosen the binding technique.
Determined not to miss this moment, Rourke released all the spiritual power from his body, forcibly breaking the restraint just as Salamander had done.
“Hurricane Sword!”
As soon as he could move, Rourke activated the sword spirit enhancement through his lesser spirit.… Read more
