As Ritsuka and Mash were still pondering what actually happened, Romani's voice suddenly came from a virtual screen.
"I've found it! I know how Asterios disappeared!"
"Doctor, what exactly happened?" Mash hastily inquired.
"Someone performed a spatial magecraft on Asterios just now. Based on the trace of the magecraft, it originated from the Holy City of Camelot!"
""Merlin!""
Ritsuka and Mash exclaimed in unison.
"It's likely her." Romani nodded. "Only a po...

Transparent World.
It was a world, or rather a state, that could only be seen after striving with all one's might, enduring pain, and making one's mind transparent.
People who entered this state could concentrate and shut down unnecessary senses, making their bodies appear transparent and allowing them to see through the condition of the other's body.
They could observe the flow of blood vessels in other's lungs, the contraction of muscles, and the activity level of organs, ...

Cough! Cough!
Tristan, who had also been tossed by the shockwave, struggled to get up from the ground after crashing into three trees and two rocks in succession.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, feeling the intense pain coursing through her body, her eyes practically shooting fire.
"You dumb cow! Didn't you see I was still there?! Are you trying to kill me?!"
The newcomer, wearing a bull-headed mask with pitch-black horns protruding from the ...

Cu Chulainn remained silent, reached out to grab his Gae Bolg, and without hesitation, plunged it into his own heart.
Pu-chi!
Gae Bolg pierced through Cu Chulainn's heart completely, crimson mixed with traces of black blood erupted like a blooming flower, instantly covering the spear with a layer of eerie blood-red hue.
However, he did not meet the anticipated death.
His heart had stopped beating, but his body's activity continued to surge, rushing toward the ...

After arriving at Nozomi's home, she finally got off Homura's back.
"Well, if I didn't get down now, Homura-kun would really carry me back home~" Nozomi chuckled and continued. "But... let's forget about the others for now. Since Rin-chan doesn't want to run away, I shouldn't either."
Upon hearing that, Rin smiled at Nozomi.

The bond between these nine girls was beyond what others could imagine. Not running away wasn't for th...

Whoosh!
As the massive heat spread throughout the courtyard, a tree suddenly ignited, bursting into flames.
At the same time, the surrounding space began to distort, and before long, the flowers, grass, and trees in the courtyard also caught fire.
Everything around, including the ground, seemed to melt in the face of this astonishing heat and high temperature, gradually losing its original form and dissolving like butter.

Riezel's relentless efforts turned out to be longer than he had imagined, and more nerve-wracking than anyone else had anticipated.
After persisting in the courtyard for seven days, he finally collapsed for the first time.
It was Kyoujurou, who frequently came to check on him, who first noticed Riezel lying in the courtyard and hastily brought him back to the room, calling for a doctor.
Of course, the doctor called by Kyoujurou was none other than the Insect Hashira, Kochou ...

In truth, Arkhan had wanted to try Gae Bolg's ability that could reverse the nature of causality a long time ago, but back then, he didn't have any means of coming back to life, and Cu Chulainn couldn't possibly use this move on him.
It turned out that after becoming a Servant, he actually had the chance to fulfill his long-cherished wish.
Cu Chulainn's famous move truly lived up to its reputation.

Riezel's plan wasn't entirely baseless.
Initially, Total Concentration Breathing already had the effect of enhancing physical ability, but it only strengthened the heart and lungs, as well as accelerating blood flow, thereby indirectly boosting the body's performance and physical prowess.
Akasha Continent's breathing technique, on the other hand, was merely a support for swordsmanship by stimulating and activating magical energy within the body, allowing it to grow in all aspects ...

Unbridled fear instantly exploded in the deputy commander's heart.
If the previous fear stemmed from the awe of the commander's immense power, then now, it was entirely due to the unknown trembling within him.

"What? You want me to play the role of a shrinking violet?" Nero crossed her arms, looking a bit annoyed as she pursed her lips.

After chatting for a while, Kyoujurou finally left to fulfill Riezel's request. He promised Riezel that he would bring a large amount of Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand and Scarlet Ore.
It was not weird for Kyoujurou to make such a promise since there remained a considerable quantity of Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand and Scarlet Ore, as no member of the Demon Slayer Corps lacked a Nichirin Sword.
Even Tanjirou, whose Nichirin Sword had been broken once, quickly acquired a new one, demonstrat...

As Arkhan gave Melusine a headpat, he suddenly felt a bit awkward.
Although she looked very young, in reality, she was almost as old as his ancestors, so he had never headpatted her before. This headpat was just an unconscious move, and by the time he realized it, it was too late.
However, in all honesty, headpatting Melusine was quite a nice feeling.
Arkhan quickly cleared his throat and casually moved his hand away, pretending as if nothing had happened.

Upon hearing Kiara's words, Arkhan muttered with a slight squint in his eyes.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Oh, come on, where's the fun if I spill the beans? After all, you're a 'Savior', aren't you? Seeking the truth is part of your responsibility, isn't it?" Kiara chuckled, her eyes gave a mischievous light.
The moment the term 'Savior' came out of her mouth, Arkhan's pupils suddenly contracted.
Why did this woman know he was a Savior?!

Eventually, under the invitation of Kyoujurou, Riezel moved into the residence of the Rengoku family.
As a family of Demon Slayers for generations, the residence of the Rengoku family was kept strictly confidential. Since they had earned the trust of the Ubuyashiki family, their connection with the Demon Slayer Corps was strong enough to withstand scrutiny. Consequently, their residence was not very far from the Ubuyashiki Estate; one could even say it was in the same town.

"Since Tristan isn't the Tristan we know, Gawain probably isn't the Gawain we know either, right?"
To his question, Melusine nodded.
"Gawain's real name is Barghest, and she's also a fairy."
"Barghest..." Mash rubbed her chin in thought. "Isn't that the terrifying black dog from English folklore?"
Melusine nodded again.
Meanwhile, Ritsuka just sat expressionless on the side, keeping silent.

In Riezel's eyes, Tsugikuni Yoriichi was undoubtedly the most powerful being in this world. It was not just because he created the first ever breathing style and introduced it to the world, but also because his talent was simply inhuman.

He even came with a cheat from birth, not only having the Demon Slayer Mark on his forehead that greatly enhanced his p...

Upon understanding what Melusine meant, Arkhan narrowed his eyes slightly.
'Perishing together, huh...'
As far as he knew, although the Merlin he knew was a candidate for a Grand Servant, he rarely engaged in direct combat. His expertise lay more in support by using illusion, with his only combat skill likely being his extraordinary swordsmanship.
However, no matter how amazing his swordsmanship was, when facing a dragon of Melusine's caliber, his options were quite limited....

"Any plans for today?"
"None, as long as I'm with you, I'm good. Wherever you go, I'll go." Melusine answered without hesitation.
"Alright, then..." Arkhan lowered his head and thought for a moment before deciding. "Let's go find Ritsuka and the others first. Since we're not familiar with this place, they can give us an overview."
Melusine nodded, naturally extending her small hand.
