“Who are you?”
Shiomi asked again.
“Are you the one who threw me into the Land of Shadows and brought me before my master?”
The girl let out a soft laugh.
“Oh my~~, I’m terribly sorry, but I can’t answer that just yet. It’s classified under a higher level of encryption. So don’t even think about using something like the Holy Grail to solve the mystery.”
She knew things Shiomi had never spoken aloud, and it was hard not to suspect his thoughts ...

“Hmm? What’s going on?”
The moment the flute sounded, Lina felt her strength vanish. Just as she was about to collapse, Haruki reacted instantly, catching her in his arms.
The suddenness of it all left Lina stunned. It wasn’t until she was nestled against Haruki’s chest that she came back to her senses. Her cheeks flushed red as she looked up and asked. For an unmarried girl, being held like this was already embarrassing—especially for someone as shy as Lina.

The mountains shook, and countless rocks rolled down the cliffs, crashing into the deep valley and kicking up dust everywhere.
Hearing this exaggerated noise, Queen, who was hiding in the laboratory, shrank his head.
He squeezed his round body behind the wall and hid, carefully poking his head out to look at the cliff in the distance from the window, his head covered in cold sweat.
"Kaidou-san really lost his temper... I wonder which unlucky guy it is."
He thought for ...

"Damn that brat Daren..."
Kaidou gritted his teeth and growled, his face flushing red with rage as hot breath spewed from his nostrils, turning into two streams of white smoke.
This was a secret he had never shared with anyone.
Aside from Arber, whom he trusted most, not even Queen knew about this hidden cave.
And it wasn't for any complicated reason... it was simply too humiliating!
His own flesh and blood, Yamato—who should have grown into a powerful, free pi...

"I haven't even tested Complete Regeneration yet..."
Masatsuki Aozaki murmured to himself, his voice tinged with contemplation.
He had initially considered asking Banshō Senran to unleash Zanka no Tachi on him to test his defensive and regenerative capabilities.
However, sensing their reluctance, he could only shake his head and abandon the idea.
Clearly, Banshō Senran and the others had no intention of harming their reckless yet beloved master.

"Hephaestus-dono, the red, blue, and green stones have all been polished."
The territory of the Hephaestus Familia was on par with that of the Loki Familia. As a production-focused group, Hephaestus Familia was one of the few incredibly wealthy Familias in all of Orario.
After receiving the order, Tsubaki immediately instructed her people to prepare the materials.
The red, blue, and green stones were just ores from the upper floors—minerals with little use but some value.<...

As soon as Shiomi finished speaking, the Automata that had collapsed onto the ground stood up from the grass with a grotesque, twisting motion. Not even a human could rise like that.
"Touko, step back."
Shiomi launched himself forward, charging at the blade-wielding Automata barehanded.
They clashed three times. His hands moved like forged weapons, tracing the arc of a sword’s swing, colliding with the Automata’s linear strikes at incredible speed.

The one who followed Tenkei Shiomi out was Touko Aozaki.

Haruki was genuinely surprised to learn that he had unknowingly become the dream lover of many girls in the Imperial Capital. He looked at Lina with a touch of disbelief.

Getting beaten up makes you stronger?
Is that even reasonable?
That's not reasonable at all!
If it were, then Queen, who was beaten to death by Kaidou-san every single day, should have surpassed him in strength long ago!

However...

The next day, a scroll containing over a dozen ninjutsu techniques landed in Reiji’s hands.
At the same time, Reiji began training in his "clap hands and summon whatever I want" style.
Countless shadow clones appeared, each starting to practice one of the five chakra nature transformations.
For Reiji, who had already mastered all five elements, these techniques were practically child’s play.
Leaving the clones to train, Reiji called over Fugaku, Teuchi, and Rie.

Bored.
Lying on the tatami mat, Reiji stared blankly at the ceiling, looking completely lifeless.
The Land of Rain was in chaos, and everyone seemed to be enjoying it.
Meanwhile, he—nominally the Daimyō, but actually the man pulling the strings—was stuck chasing cats and dogs around with three little brats.
Unbelievable.
“No way! I need to find something to do!”
With a sudden kick, Reiji sat up and shouted toward the door.

What the Princess of Gold said was indeed true. When Magecraft reaches a certain stage, its underlying theories can suddenly break down. Many Magus Families that had endured for centuries were wiped out simply because they failed to anticipate the exact moment their techniques would become obsolete.

From the internal structure alone, the resemblance was striking.
Bell stayed alert, carefully observing his surroundings. He could hear plenty of heavy footsteps, but no screams—unlike the chaos of the seventh floor, this level seemed relatively calm. The thick fog served as a cover, making it easier for him to move around.

Gecko Moria crashed down from midair like a cannonball, smashing a massive crater fifty meters wide into the ground with the force of his fall.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood and tried to struggle upright, but a heavy, polished black military boot stomped down hard on his head.
