Morning sunlight streamed through the lattice windows in scattered golden shards. As the door handle turned with a soft click, Samael stirred, his senses tingling. He pried open his eyes with a yawn and sat up in bed.
Outside the door, a figure stepped in—green hair, starry eyes, bright yellow apron, and emerald horns glinting in the light. She approached and, without a word, pressed the ancient serpent’s head into the valley of her chest.
So big... so soft... so white...

“Ah! What is this chill?! It hurts! It hurts so much!”
“Stay away!”
The Goddess of Demonic Beasts, Gorgon, sensed the rapidly approaching blur of blood-red on Ugallu. Countless voices exploded in her mind, making her head feel like it was about to split open.
Her purple-yellow serpent tail thrashed wildly, pulverizing the surrounding rocks. The barren wasteland was torn with deep gashes, and the shards of stone screamed through the air with explosive force.

Shiomi was awakened by the aroma lingering at the tip of his nose. The sweet and bitter notes intermingled—the scent of melting chocolate.
He opened his eyes on the living room sofa and naturally saw Morgan standing in the kitchen, seemingly busy with something.
“Husband, come here,” Morgan called softly.
“Ah, alright.”
As he got up, he glanced at the calendar on the wall and paused at today’s date. Time hadn’t flown by. It had already been two or three m...

Bell had no good way to deal with such a stubborn fool. He didn’t want to deceive a girl like her, nor did he want to lead her on. But she had already fixated on him—and that left him with little choice.
He was certain she believed in him just for the sake of believing, but that conviction of hers was stronger than any reasoning. Even a scumbag would shake his head at a situation like this. She was just too easy to fool.
But the thing was—Bell didn’t want to fool her.

“Konoha Ninja Taijutsu Secret Technique!”
The familiar phrase made both Kazuyama Gekkō and Shisui Uchiha freeze for a moment.
Especially Shisui—he had just experienced it himself, and the spot under him still hurt a little.
Kazuyama’s face, meanwhile, went stiff.
Because what happened next was exactly what he had feared.

Obito Uchiha stared at the broken kunai in his hand, his expression growing more serious.
Chakra enhancement had drastically strengthened Locust’s otherwise unimpressive short swords.
“Hehehe, kid, my technique enhances both me and my weapons.”
“Watch yourself!”
Locust, brimming with arrogance, launched another attack.
He was fast, no doubt—but Obito wasn’t just any ninja. Every Uchiha was strong, and he’d already seen real battle. Despite his age...

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
The night sky was oppressively dark, the heavy, twisted heavens pressing down like a weight on the earth, suffocating the very air.
Drip... drip...
Cold rain began to fall from the pitch-black sky, turning into a torrential downpour as the wind howled.

Lightning crackled across the sky, followed by thunder that shook the earth. A pale bolt split the heavens, illuminating the tall figure standing before a grand Japanese-sty...

Philseque Island.
The battle on the frozen sea outside the island remained locked in a tense stalemate. Yet, both sides couldn’t help but divert some attention, quietly focusing on the turmoil unfolding deep within the island.
Deep within the island.

Samael sprang forward, landing in front of the small figure with a low growl.
But the little purple-haired girl lifted her face, her expression glowing with nostalgia and joy.
“Hey, Samael, a city like Uruk... it used to be my dream.”
“My sisters and I wouldn’t have to keep running. We wouldn’t be cursed anymore. We wouldn’t have to live in fear of heroes coming to kill us.”

Are they… retreating?
The noise around him was thinning out, faint and distant, and the shadowy figures in the night were beginning to fade away.
Samael, muscles still taut, let out a small breath of relief—grateful, for a moment, to still be alive.
Wait. No—something’s wrong!
Retreating now? That’s even more dangerous! They’re clearing the field—for another round of light pillars!

Clearly provoked by Shiomi’s doubtful remark, Jaguar Warrior glared with wide, exasperated eyes, then suddenly vanished, leaving only a scattering of leaves drifting in the wind.

The destination, Ur, had been swallowed by a dense forest about six months ago—an act carried out by one of the three goddesses whose identity remains unknown. At the same time, Eridu, farther to the south, was also consumed.
Since then, Uruk has been unable to establish contact with either city. Hakuno Kishinami had dispatched multiple small teams, but none of them returned. The last investigation ended with two Servants withdrawing.

‘Two days of rest? Looks like they've realized something’s wrong.’
They wouldn’t have extended the rest period unless they’d noticed an issue with the Dungeon.
After all, expedition teams have limited time to operate in the Dungeon—the resources they carry determine how far they can go. Even with spatial belts allowing them to bring extra supplies, time isn't something they can afford to waste, especially under current conditions.

Neither Revis nor the masked man gave the madman any serious thought.
To them, a madman was just that—a madman. Since they were planning to abandon the situation anyway, they figured they might as well let him test Loki Familia’s limits. And if by some chance he succeeded, wiping out Loki Familia in the process wouldn’t be such a bad outcome.
Of course, if the Sword Princess died, that would be a genuine loss.
But if she survived, then their plans involving her could s...

The sand slowly settled as the full moon cast its glow once more across Hueco Mundo. Moonlight filtered through the leaves of the quartz trees, shining down on Masatsuki Aozaki and illuminating his blood-soaked robes.

Beads of blood fell steadily from the hem of his clothing. Head lowered, Masatsuki drove his fist into the body of the antlered, serpentine beast, shattering it completely. A pool of blood quickly spread beneath him.

Immediately after, a brilliant bloom of Reiatsu lit up the battlefield.
The sand dune that once stood tall was obliterated in an instant, reduced to dust as a rain of sand and debris scattered through the air.
Masatsuki Aozaki shook his head vigorously, flinging off the dust clinging to his hair. He took a deep breath, feeling the scorching heat lingering in the air.
In that moment, a rush of excitement surged in his chest. He couldn’t help but think to himself,

Inside and outside the Babylonia defense line, mangled corpses lay heaped in gruesome piles—some human, some Magical Beasts.
The remnants of the last battle hadn't even been cleared when war broke out once more.

In the end, Mari never showed up in person. The moment Scáthach’s Magecraft ensnared her, Lady Avalon, the court magus of Uruk, dissolved into a swirl of petals and vanished.
It hadn’t been her real body—just an illusion.

Hōgen shook his head. Seeing this, Kazuma was about to speak, but Hōgen raised a hand to stop him.

The icy seas off the coast of Philseque Island had become a chaotic battlefield.
All the Marines in combat shuddered simultaneously, as if sensing the descent of some terrifying monster. Fear etched across their faces, they turned toward the heart of the island.
From that direction, a torrent of wind surged skyward, faintly woven with twisted black lightning.

It was the first hangover he could remember, and it felt as though even his Magic Circuits had been dulled by the alcohol—he couldn't ease the pain on his own.

The pristine sleeping quarters still held the faint scent of malt beer, a clear sign that someone had been drinking...

On the surface, Morgan and Scáthach’s words had been pointed, aimed squarely at Artoria.
But Shiomi knew better. That was just their usual way of speaking—sharp and direct. To anyone unfamiliar with their conversational rhythm, it could certainly come off as harsh.

This trial was inherently unfair. If they could gather information about the "Spirit" in advance, the flow of battle might be completely different.
In other words, intelligence was the deciding factor.
But no one had access to intel on the "Spirit" beforehand—not even him. The sole exception among them all was Cassandra.
