Chapter 98: The Release of the Fate/Zero Trailer
In Nosrick, the moment the cinema replaced its posters with the ones for the new movie, the news spread rapidly across the southern territories.
The announcement of a new movie had become a grand occasion in this world—nothing else could compare to the allure of a film.
Beyond the usual audience, even the members of Edward Film Studio who weren’t involved in the filming of this new movie were intrigued.

Volume 1 Chapter 97: The Crocodile's Kiss
The moment Garde entered, he quickly took down the surrounding mechanical guards.
During Saria’s battle with the centaur knight, these guards had been mere cannon fodder. But now that the fight was over, they began their final sweep.
Had Saria not been drawn into the Nightzmora's dream, or if someone hadn't alerted Garde, he might not have made it in time to save her.
“Garde, you owe me two favors now,” Ho'olh...

After presenting a grand gift to the residents of Arkans City and rushing to the vast desert beyond the western borders to shoot the scenes featuring the Noble Phantasm of the King of Conquerors, the first chapter of this epic, groundbreaking feature film was finally complete.
Coincidentally, the timing aligned perfectly with the new student admissions of the Mage Tower, leaving two day...

Volume 1 Chapter 96: Saria's Resolution
Bang!
After punching down a mechanical guard, Saria looked at Kal'tsit.
“How much further?”
“Almost there!”
Listening to the continuous explosions above, Kal'tsit's expression was grim.
She regretted rejecting Theresa' offer of help.
At the very least, she should have brought some of Tower of Babel's elite forces. Now, she could only rely on an eighteen-year-old to bear the weight of...

Chapter 96: On Whether Gods Exist in This World
In the following days, as the scene of the The Three Kings Discussion was filmed and concluded, the first chapter of Fate/Zero also approached its final stages.
Due to Edward's decision to compress the storyline by cutting the episode featuring the young Rin Tohsaka, many scenes were filmed at an accelerated pace. The reason was simple: as May approached its end, the enrollment season for the Tower of Mages' summer admission dre...

Volume 1 Chapter 95: Crocodile man Never Flee from Battle!
Reality isn't a game. There's no such thing as needing to reach level six to unleash an ultimate move like in League of Legend.
In essence, an "ultimate" is just one way to use Ascension Power.
To say that when Garde reaches hero level six, he can truly unleash his ultimate move is accurate, but right now, he's merely forcing the Ascension Power into his body to enhance his physical strength.
However, eve...

Chapter 95: Filming Draws to a Close
In the forest mansion constructed behind Arkans, the filming of the Einzbern Castle Battle sequence for Fate/Zero has reached its final stages.
The showdown between Kayneth and Kiritsugu spanned the entirety of the castle, requiring countless angle changes during the shoot.
The nonstop filming left everyone exhausted, including Edward, the director himself. But the effort was not in vain—most of the scenes had been completed, and ...

“We did it!”
In the desert outside the factory, Saria and Kal'tsit watched as Garde charged into the massive factory, filled with both awe and concern.
Two giant electromagnetic cannons, comparable to warship sub-guns, were set on either side of the entrance, along with two dragons over twenty meters long.
Forget about a single person; even a well-trained army would struggle to break through without heavy fire support from high-speed w...

After Rider's dramatic appearance, accompanied by a flash of golden light, another servant appeared in the center of the battlefield.
However, since this servant didn't openly announce their identity like Rider had, the others couldn't immediately determine which class they belonged to.
Standing atop a streetlight about ten meters above the ground, clad in shining golden armor, this fourth servant's identity remained unclear.

The ancient factory ruins of the Norman Confederation of the Ancient Civilization loomed ahead. Transport trucks slowly made their way from the edges of the scorching desert, passing through a massive, partially collapsed gate towering dozens of meters high. Two electromagnetic cannons sat atop the gate, scanning the incoming vehicles with laser sensors to detect any dangerous cargo.
Most trucks, however, carried minerals harvested ...

He’s at the peak of his vitality, a man full of energy. Every morning, his body responded to its natural urges. Especially since it was only a month before arriving in the Hotlands that he transitioned from a boy to a man, making him even more susceptible to his desires. From the rainforest to the Hotlands, Garde had been repressing himself for half a month already.
So when a charming, white-haired feline woman su...

A lich—a being whose body has perished but whose soul remains intact due to inner strength or external forces—is an unusual existence.
Typically, liches do not come into being naturally.
More often, a powerful mage, unwilling to accept the inevitable decay of their soul alongside their body, transforms into a lich through a specialized process of becoming undead.
Given human society's general disdain for the u...

She had learned that true understanding between people was impossible. Kal'tsit never expected others to comprehend her. She simply focused on fulfilling her duty, indifferent to whether she recei...
