My Life as A Death Guard

Chapter 60: Fight! Fight! Fight!

The white light poured down like a waterfall, illuminating the high platform without reservation.

Below the platform, countless gasps of astonishment erupted.

On the stage, Hades' right eye was bruised, his body suspended in mid-air. His left fist smashed directly into Branka's chin, sending Branka flying into the air as well.

Branka's body seemed to hover in the air for a moment before crashing heavily to the ground, marking the end of...

Volume 1 Chapter 74: Surtr Joins the Team!

From the moment Surtr drew her sword, she was convinced that she wouldn’t lose. 

Winning was a certainty in her mind; the only question was how she would win—whether she would finish cleanly or leave some room for her opponent. 

After all, she still had questions for the crocodile man about the Sarkaz, and if he was too badly beaten, he might refuse to share anything.

Losing wasn’t something Surtr had even cons...

Chapter 76: The Snow-Covered Castle

After the auditions for the Snow Flower Troupe concluded and the participants returned to their respective rehearsals, a map of the Empire's Southern Territory was laid out on the table of the second-floor room of the Edward Film Studio.

Edward was putting all his effort into this new film. Immediately after selecting the actors, he began scouting for filming locations. Though the roles for the magus had mostly been cast, Edward was still undeci...

Volume 1 Chapter 73: Crocodile Man: Is That It?

As the massive creature carrying the caravan's cargo slowly rose, Surtr's voice rang out, "Crocodile man, I challenge you!"

The group of lizardfolk couldn’t understand her language, but they certainly understood her actions. 

In an instant, every lizardfolk present started giving Surtr and Garde strange looks.

A few years ago, when Garde had spent a couple of weeks in a lizardfolk village while searching for medici...

Chapter 59. Farce, Farce!

The duel bell rang, and both sides entered the arena, bare-handed. 

Was it a fight to the death?

No.

Under the dazzling white light, it appeared to be a duel between two people, but in reality, it was a clash of underlying motives from the crowd around them.

Among the spectators, some sneered, some were relieved, some were clueless, while others were secretly panicking.

On the seats, the Primarch sat still, his expression unre...

Chapter 75: The Oracle’s Reply

While General Wilhelm returned to the imperial capital to find someone per Edward's request, Juno, the Beastkin kingdom spy who had been secretly following him, received a reply from the Beastkin Kingdom the night she watched the new movie Goblin Slayer.

Seeing the owl perched on the windowsill, Juno’s expression immediately shifted. She hastily cast aside her numerous speculations about Goblin Slayer and quickly retrieved the letter from the owl...

Volume 1 Chapter 72: Surtr's Act of Repayment!

Surtr had no idea why she found herself in a vast desert. 

When she awoke, she was wearing only a tattered black dress and carrying a massive black sword taller than herself. 

Aside from that, she had no currency for trade, nothing to prove her identity—Surtr couldn’t even remember her ethnicity or which country she came from. 

The only thing she remembered was that her name was Surtr, and the sword besi...

Chapter 58.2: Another Fight Begins

When Fernando and Branka rushed into the dueling hall, the first thing they saw was the two figures locked in a struggle on the raised platform.

Hades' face was bulging with veins, lying on his back, his left arm tightly wrapped around Ugo's neck, his right hand locking his left arm in place, ensuring Ugo couldn’t break free.

The Guillotine Choke!

Ugo’s face was turning red, the once-proud psyker of the Legion now struggling pathe...

Chapter 74: The Candidate for Kiritsugu Emiya

As Liya led a group of knights carefully selected by General Wilhelm towards the southern territory's teleportation array, she still found herself unsure of what was going on. 

Typically, soldiers didn't have the privilege of using the large teleportation array, but it seemed that General Wilhelm was in quite a hurry, so she held back her curiosity and quietly followed the others to a place she'd never been before—the southern t...

Chapter 58.1: Fierce Close Combat, A Battle Worthy of Serialization!

All eyes were on the duel hall, the white light illuminating the figures of the two like caged beasts.

On one side, Ugo was surrounded by strange psychic energy, powerful enough to slightly distort the space around him. Flames danced across the ice-covered blade of his sword, signifying the user's rage.

On the other side, Hades held a standard training scythe, adopting the most basic combat stance for the w...

Surtr? The ice-cream loving Grandma!?

How did she end up in a place like this?

No, wait. Now that I think about it, it's not that surprising.

As someone who's seen mountains, walked through snow, scaled skyscrapers, roamed the wilderness, and even encountered the sea and sea monsters, coming to the Foehn Hotlands before losing her memory wouldn’t be out of the ordinary, would it?

But what if Surtr has also lost her memory no...

Early the next morning, Edward set up the Edward Tavern as the location for casting actors. 

Since the plot of "Fate/Zero" was lengthy and featured grand scenes, Edward didn't limit the number of people auditioning this time—he was open to as many as possible.

As for the candidates, they were provided by none other than Baniel, who contacted all the old theater troupes he could reach, and General Wilhelm, who hurriedly retur...

The once spacious dueling hall now seemed a bit cramped, as the crowd that had gradually filled the darkened area below the stage stood silently, their gazes fixed on the duel above.

The towering figure of the Primarch still sat below, his face shrouded in shadows and mist, making it difficult to discern his expression.

But the soldiers near Mortarion could all feel the overwhelmin...

Upon seeing the young lizard girl, Garde led her over to Saria and Carnelian for introductions.

"Raya, say hello to the sisters."

Following Garde's words, the lizard girl, Raya, immediately and obediently greeted, "Hello, Sister Saria, Hello, Sister Carnelian."

She spoke in the Sargon language, but because she wasn't famil...

"How is it, Edward? Do I have the talent for magic?"

In the office of the Nosrick Cinema, Daphne looked expectantly at Edward. 

He withdrew his hand and displayed a surprised expression because Daphne indeed possessed a magical talent. At least her magical circuits were top-notch, and her elemental affinity was quite remarkable, certainly better than Helena's pure fire affinity.

Yet, despite such talent, Daphne had not ...

The ancient tribe born deep in the yellow sands, known as the Caprinae, lived in a place that wasn’t exactly advanced but couldn’t be called ignorant either. 

In their tribe, when young men and women reached a certain age, they were driven out by their elders to travel the world, learn from their experiences, and eventually return home, bringing with them the knowledge they gained.

As a result, the Caprinae had a habit...

One month ahead of the Emperor's birthday celebration, Ska decided, after a discussion with Edward, that because the alchemical knowledge left behind by this tower was disorganized, they would postpone planning the gift for the Emperor. Instead, they would first organize this knowledge, and then revisit the discussion.

Edward, having agreed, quickly returned to Nosrick. Since he was already planning to shoot a promotional film for the magic and al...

Bright white light illuminated the dueling cage, casting a soft glow in the pitch-black duel hall.

The two combatants stood ready, prepared for battle.

A scythe faced off against a longsword.

A hum filled the air.

Domingo, the veteran from Terra, immediately lunged with his longsword, showing no mercy as the blade flashed straight toward Huznir on the platform.

"Why did I lose a tooth? Is it time to change teeth again?"  

Garde sat leaning against the wall, reaching a finger into his big mouth, only to find that he had lost just one tooth.  

"Oh, it must be because I've been using my teeth too much lately."  

Garde remembered how recently he had been biting into the weapons of Abyssal Hunters—spears and swords alike. 

He had used his m...

In the topmost floor of the Mage Tower, also known as the Headmaster's office, Edward was called in by Hohenheim after leaving the Grand Lecture Hall.

She saw a female Cautus Rhine Lab Operator sleeping soundly in the backseat of the vehicle, just like herself. 

When she checked her watch, she realized that only four hours had passed since she fell asleep.

According to their agreement, Garde would wake everyone up after they had slept for twelve hours. It was still far too early for that.

Huznir and Corinna stood in the center of everyone's gaze, their half-drawn blades gleaming under the pale, harsh lights.

But while everyone's eyes seemed to be focused on the dueling cage, their real attention was fixed on the towering figure below.

Sitting motionless in his seat like a corpse, the primarch exhaled qu...

Half an hour ago...

In the spacious hall, three dueling cages stood side by side.

Unlike previous times, where people were divided into distinct groups, today they were all crowded around the central dueling cage, yet there was no noise—only the occasional sound of footsteps broke the silence.

At the center of the crowd, two men were facing off.

The man on the right had pale...

The lights at the banquet were dazzling.

For a crocodile man who grew up in the rainforest, such a scene was unimaginable. 

Life there was all about working from sunrise to sunset, and even when electric lights were installed later, they were all purchased from the city by Inam.

But in this dream, it was different.

Garde couldn't reconcile the image of this delicate little girl, dressed in a floral dress, holding a toy car, and crying softly, with the strong, emotionless woman that Saria would become in the future.
