"Having a teacher come to our place..."
Uruka scratched her head awkwardly.
"Even though you say that... Kirisu-sensei can only go to Fumino's place, right?"
In other people's homes, with so many people around, it would be hard not to answer when they asked about the reason for wanting to stay the night.
However, Mafuyu's situation wasn't something you could just casually mention, right?
"My dad... He's also usually at home at night..." Fumino explained with a wr...

Orario, Northeast Street.
This was Orario's proud magic stone production hub, adjacent to the industrial zone's manufacturing sector.
Under Finn's guidance, Riezel entered this place.
Unlike the northwest street, mostly populated by adventurers, pedestrians here were mostly laborers in work uniforms.
There was a middle-aged human with strong muscles, carrying equipment.
A beastman walked alongside a merchant, engaged in conversation.
Several dwarves, robust...

"Welcome."
As Riezel strolled through the door, Finn, engaged in a conversation with Riveria and Gareth, turned his head and greeted him.
The other two also simultaneously turned their heads, focusing their gaze on his body. Their eyes held a look one gives upon finding treasure—filled with satisfaction and contentment.
"Captain, Lady Riveria, Mr. Gareth."
Riezel greeted each of the three top executives of the familia one by one. His attitude wasn't overly respectful...

"Judgment, you say...?"
Gilgamesh muttered, his eyes exuding a coldness that could freeze time itself. Extreme anger twisted his lips into a sinister smile.
"Only a mongrel dares to speak such words."
He raised his hand, and behind him, the golden ripples expanded even more. Countless divine weapons freely danced through the air as if they cost nothing, rushing fiercely towards Arkhan, seemingly intent on sinking the entire dock area.
In response, the black holes behin...

'Gilgamesh...'
Arkhan thought of that famous name and squinted his eyes as he gazed at the dazzling golden king atop the streetlamp. Judging from his extravagant attire and arrogant tone, it seemed like this Archer Gilgamesh hadn't changed much.
'So far, five Servants had already appeared...' Arkhan pondered silently.
"Hey, you with the shiny gold over there!" Iskandar yelled while pulling out his sword and pointing it at Gilgamesh with evident displeasure. "What's that supp...

Twilight Manor, Courtyard.
At this moment, there were still people practicing in this place.
Riezel and Ais were unleashing a vast display of sword slashes, engaging in an intense sword dance.
Unlike before, today's sword dance not only surpassed any previous ones in intensity but also showcased a level of skill uncommon for both of them.
Riezel seemed to have transformed, effortlessly moving his body, creating bursts of energy with each casual motion. His speed was en...

Orario, Babel.
At the top of the tower that seemed to suppress the entrance to the dungeon like a lid, the highest floor was extravagantly decorated, equipped with everything one could imagine.
The interior was lavish to the extreme, allowing a sweeping view of the entire city's district in the eyes of the room.
Soon, a giant shadow pushed the door open and walked in.
It was a huge Beastman, with short, earth-red hair and boar ears, possessing a robust physical body re...

"...Are you provoking me, Rider?"
Angry flames burned in Artoria's pale golden eyes as her magical armor reappeared. She took a step forward, wielding her black holy sword with a chilling aura surged forward.
"Don't mind it, Rider. Saber is indeed King Arthur, just twisted into this form by her Master during the summoning." Arkhan said with a smile.
"Oh? So that's how it is..." Iskandar nodded in realization, thumping his chest. Soon after, he furrowed his brows and looked a...

Meanwhile, Artoria looked at Arkhan on top of the container, various indescribable emotions flickering in her pale golden eyes.
"Why don't you kill me?"
"I said from the beginning that you're not my target tonight." Arkhan replied casually.
She looked at him deeply, trying to understand his intention. A moment later, her magical armor turned back into the black suit, and she walked silently toward Irisviel.

Mafuyu mumbled in a daze.

With that, Homura turned to walk but suddenly stopped, as if remembering something, and turned back to Mafuyu.

Riezel might not be aware, but in the beginning, when Lefiya discovered that the familia's top executives had arranged for her to form a party with him to explore the dungeon, she was determined to grow.

The liveliness within Twilight Manor was gradually increasing, and members were bustling around, making it no longer as desolate as it was initially.

Needless to say, the news of his battle with the irregular on the 6th Floor had started to spread.

Kayneth looked nervously at the shiny copper bullet before him.
The battle between Arkhan and Saber moments ago had completely absorbed his attention. He never expected someone to attack him at this moment.
If Arkhan hadn't modified Volumen Hydrargyrum in advance to give it automatic defense capabilities, he might have truly met his end.
Just as Arkhan had warned, that man was indeed a war dog without any scruples.
Although Kayneth hadn't witnessed the attack hims...

The raging wind swept through as a figure in silver stood firm, his imposing presence resembling an unyielding tide.
All the observers' gazes unconsciously converged on him, making him, for that fleeting moment, the center of the world.
"That armor..."
Kiritsugu, observing the battlefield through his sniper scope, blinked in surprise. Unsure if it was his imagination, he couldn't shake the feeling that the style of that silver armor bore a striking resemblance to Saber's.

It wasn't just about luck but rather depended on one's accumulated excelia up to now.

Just with his presence alone, he could thwart her attacks effortlessly. This unknown Servant was perhaps even more formidable than she had imagined.
But the experienced King of Knights wouldn't be discouraged by a momentary setback. Her gaze remained cold and unforgiving as ...

The cold moonlight cascaded down like a silver thread, penetrating the dock area. Boots high on the ankle trod on the cement floor, producing crisp sounds with each step.
Two women arrived, one dressed in a high-end white autumn coat made of fur, wearing a white high hat on her head. Her snow-white long hair flowed like a waterfall, resembling a snow spirit.
Despite appearing to be an elegant and dignified woman, her crimson eyes revealed a childlike clarity, making it difficult t...

Ariel.
As mentioned before, this wind element enchant-type magic was quite special.
No, it should be said, it was exceptionally unique.
While ordinary enchant magic could enhance the user and their weapon, the effects of those enchant magic were usually not too outrageous.
At least, ultra-short chant enchant magic like 'Ariel' was definitely not expected to be too powerful.
Unless it was an ultra-long chant enchant magic with a chant comparable to wide area annih...

Once bustling streets were now sparsely populated, with the few pedestrians hurrying along.

Now, with Arkhan's reminder, he realized that this war might be far more dangerous than he had imagined.

Amidst the explosion-like noise, the walls of the dungeon crumbled, countless debris scattered, and a cloud of dust rose, covering the surroundings.
Lefiya, who had been tackled by Riezel, stared dumbfounded at the scene and took her a while to react. She only saw a gigantic claw, resembling a wild beast's claw, thrust into the wall and penetrating it.
"Don't just stay there!"
As Lefiya struggled to come to her senses, Riezel yelled, yanked her up, and rolled to the side.

Dungeon, 9th Floor.
On this floor, close to the 10th Floor, were numerous chambers and short pathways. The ceiling, nearly ten meters high, let in a luminous glow resembling sunlight, dispelling the darkness.
The wood-colored walls were covered in moss, and the ground was carpeted with short grass, creating a small meadow. Bathed in the luminous glow from above, it gave the illusion of walking in a wilderness rather than an underground labyrinth.
