My Life as A Death Guard

Chapter 94: Khârn's First Encounter with Angron

His life was a mournful lament of cowardice.

His foster father was reduced to torn flesh and blood amidst the roar of the Butcher’s Nails. His comrades turned to skeletons amidst the war songs of the slavers’ armies.

And he? He never had the chance to act.

He would have rather died fighting on this red desert than become a mere speck of dust in the vast cosmos.

But he ran.

It wasn’t his choice; he never...

Chapter 2: Covering Up the Evidence

After a brief observation, Kousuke Akikawa became increasingly aware of how unfavorable the current situation was for him.

‘The blood soaking her clothes is still bright red, indicating a high oxygen content…’

‘The area around the wounds shows clear signs of vitality.’

‘So, she definitely died from stab wounds.’

The bright red blood suggested that it hadn’t been exposed to air for very...

Chapter 109: The Premiere of Fate/Zero (Part 9)

“ – Oi, say, Saber, talk about your wish too.”

In response to Rider's sudden inquiry, Saber paused momentarily before replying calmly—or rather, with pride—“I want to save my homeland. I will change England’s fate of destruction.”

Hearing Saber's answer, the atmosphere grew quiet. Everyone present fell silent, and Rider, holding a wine goblet midair, couldn’t help but say, “Hey King of Knights, I might have ...

“ACE, focus on your driving—eyes on the road.”

“Misery, today’s target is the remaining four factories. We’re running out of time. I have a special medicine here for Oripathy. If you start coughing up blood, remember to take it.”

Chapter 93: War Hounds, Let Me Tell You Something

"Recently" is a rather vague concept, depending on mutual agreement between the parties involved.

However, it was clear that a Priest from Mars and an old farmer from Barbarus had not reached any consensus on this matter.

Afterward, Hades first had a chat with Jin.

He then meticulously prepared some essential data for the Legion, along with an analysis report on how the 14th Legion could sustainably maximize its exploit...

Chapter 1: Am I a Murderer?

Ding

Like a dewdrop falling into a calm lake, a crisp mechanical sound rippled through Kousuke Akikawa's mind, stirring a faint wave across his consciousness.

As he gradually regained awareness from unconsciousness, the first sensation to flood Kousuke's mind was a splitting headache, akin to the aftermath of a night of heavy drinking.

His body felt as if it had been filled with molten lead, rendering it unbearably heavy.

Chapter 108: The Premiere of Fate/Zero (Part 8)

The battle between Kiritsugu and Kayneth, though sparking intense discussions at the Imperial Mage Academy centered around the Mage's Tower, proved too confusing for the average audience. While the general public appreciated the unique abilities like Volumen Hydrargyrum and Time Alter, they found the cooperative fight between Saber and Lancer against Caster far more captivating.

As a result, while the duel between Kiritsugu and Kayne...

"Yeah, it feels like this could lead to some problems…"

Chapter 92: The Story of Jin-306

In a workshop no different from any other day, the partially processed armor components lay silently. A large plasma cutter followed its programmed trajectory, methodically slicing through adamantium.

But everything was, in fact, different.

The figure that often moved among the machines was now standing still in the center of Hades’ workspace. The electronic screen that usually displayed a variety of expressions was now dark and lifeless. View Post

If not for the upcoming battle where they'd still need him, Kal'tsit would have gladly let Scout and the others give Garde a beating. 

They might not be able to win against Garde one-on-one, but together, they’d stand a chance.

How dare he just toss her aside like that!

The warmth from Garde quickly dissipated in the frigid air. 

As much as Kal'tsit hated to admit it, staying close to Gar...

Chapter 91: Truly No Chance?

At the time, Korklan was just an ordinary Tech-Priest.

Even though he had climbed to this position thanks to his pre-programmed genes, he was merely an insignificant figure within the many intricate factions of Mars.

He needed resources and access.

Some higher-ranking Tech-Priests approached him. They were either believers who distrusted deception or beneficiaries dissatisfied with the division of power.

"Awake?"

Noticing movement beside him, Garde quickly came to his senses. 

He hadn’t slept too deeply; after all, he didn’t know Babel’s operatives that well. 

Garde wasn’t naive enough to entrust his life to strangers. 

So, holding onto Kal'tsit was, in a way, taking a hostage. Taking advantage of the moment was just a bonus!

Then again, was there really a need to take advantage of a ...

Nosrick Cinema.

The white wall displayed the ongoing film Fate/Zero. With the movie’s unusually long runtime, most audience members had already taken at least one restroom break. Yet, judging by the narrative progression, the end seemed nowhere in sight.

The vehicle sped across the desert.

Compared to the modified vehicles used by Garde and the Rhine Lab operatives when entering the Hotland, the ancient civilization’s transport trucks were clearly better suited to the climate here. 

Of course, without the decryption technology provided by Kal'tsit, Garde and the others would’ve been stuck staring at the transport trucks, unable to do anything. View Post

In the distance, the rumbling of garbage trucks continued, echoing through the desolate wasteland.

“I suggest you get straight to the point,” he said coldly.

“Otherwise, the distress signal I’ve prepared will be sent out.”

It was a calm day, but they decided to go hunting.

To bid farewell to the War Hound brothers who were about to leave, Manning proposed hunting for some wild game. As before, not many responded to the call of the Space Wolves, but a few White Scars agreed to join. Hades suspected, however, that they were more interested in racing than actual hunting.

The scent of sacred machine-oil incense filled the air, mingling with the low binary chants that echoed endlessly through the space.
