"Teacher..."
Artoria stepped forward, watching Thrud sitting on the ground, crying. A hint of concern appeared in her azure eyes.
"Let her cry for a while." Arkhan crossed his arms and spoke calmly. "Suppressed emotions always need an outlet. It's more troublesome if you keep holding them in."
Artoria nodded silently, standing by his side.
After a while, Thrud gradually stopped crying, sitting quietly on the ground like a homeless little girl.
Arkhan took out a h...

'What a bullshit.'
'Servants who can leave Alexander and operate independently.'
'Moreover, they are all heroes and champions from the Panhellenic era, active during the War of Succession.'
'This can already be seen as a 'Servant alliance' rather than individual servants.'
After confirming all this, Artorius couldn't help but furrow his brow.
Of course, besides the bad news, there was also some good news.
That is, when Artorius himself was in command and th...

Arkhan quickly accepted Thrud's allegiance.
Whether out of some noble sentiment or not, after witnessing her confused and aimless demeanor over the millennia, he indeed developed a desire to liberate her.
So, even if Artoria didn't say it, he would do it anyway. Because he knew he could do it, and doing so was right.
When others are in peril or lost, and you happen to have a way to save them, what's there to hesitate about?
Thrud stood up again, her red eyes filled wit...

"Welcome back, Thrud." Arkhan smiled. "How does it feel to be back in this world?"
"To be honest, it's very miserable..."
Thrud, the Valkyrie who hadn't spoken for a thousand years, finally opened her mouth again. Her clear voice carried a spiritual and ethereal feeling.
She stood up, and the madness in her red eyes from before was gone, replaced by a complexity that couldn't be described in words.
"Can't believe it's been so long..."
Thrud looked around at the r...

After glancing at the information on his phone, Renault kept the message to himself, quickly deleted it, and rushed into the Shocker base with his teammates.
However, during the battle, his mind was elsewhere.
'I wonder if Nighteye's information is accurate or not.'
Pondering this, Renault threw a punch, sending two Shocker Combatmen with weapons flying, all the while keeping an eye on his teammates.
Shocker base had more than one entrance, and Nighteye had assigned al...

Early the next day, Homura received a call from his father.
"Son, I have to give you and your friends some credit. You guys really pulled off something incredible this time."
Kosuke started the conversation with praise.
"Dad, spill it already." Homura said with interest.
"Our animation company will be even more famous this time, surpassing our previous reputation."
Homura raised an eyebrow and thought, 'Well, the most famous one is still Another Dimension, and Ko...

And so, the exploration of the Mount Olympus came to an end.
As Artorius and his others left the temple, a deafening sound echoed behind them. The once well-functioning temple crumbled into ruins in an instant, as if someone was controlling it.
"It should be a triggering mechanism, not someone's doing." Artorius quickly judged.
Neither he nor Scathach sensed any enemies around, despite their best efforts.
If someone could be undetectable by both Artorius and Scathach a...

The woman, bound by chains, appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old. Graceful in figure, with a beautiful face, her shining golden hair cascaded to her waist. Deep red eyes, as translucent as agate, stared from beneath a rust-marked round shield on her left arm. Her slender legs were encased in black over-the-knee boots, and she wore a white skirt imprinted with a golden eagle pattern.
However, the most striking feature was the pair of golden feathered wings on her head, re...

Arkhan and Artoria walked through this forgotten divine land, heading toward the direction of Bifrost.
The cataclysmic Ragnarok had left behind remnants of divine power on this land. Although most of it had dwindled over the ages, the remaining traces were enough to pose a challenge.
Arkhan had to rely on Rune to detect magical reactions around them while cautiously leading Artoria forward. He couldn't afford to be careless.
After walking for about two or three hours, a pala...

"Very well." Artorius nodded. "Now, I understand what you all want to achieve."
After saying that, he turned without hesitation.
"Let's go."
He beckoned to his group, not sparing a glance at everything behind him, striding purposefully towards the exit.
"Eh...? Eeehhh?!"
After Artorius uttered those words calmly, he turned around and walked away, leaving Stheno stunned.
All the previous submissiveness, innocence, and the mix of anticipation and shyness disa...

"What's that up ahead?!"
After roughly thirty hours of flight, Artoria suddenly exclaimed.
Arkhan squinted into the distance, spotting an aurora that had appeared, stretching across the sky, constantly changing colors in a divine and magnificent display.
The giant eagle hovered in place, its body trembling slightly, adamantly refusing to approach as if it harbored a strong fear of the aurora.
In Arkhan's mind, Nidhogg's voice echoed.

Rising majestically into the clouds, as if touching the towering mountains that reached the sky, Vortigern, clad in white armor, slowly opened his eyes. His gleaming golden vertical pupils exuded an unfeeling coldness.
"So, you've finally come..." Vortigern muttered to no one.
"Are you talking about the new king of Camelot?" Crimson Moon, in her usual long white dress, asked from the side.
Vortigern nodded slightly.

Even though they had an operation to attend the next day, they needed to take care of office matters in these two days.
While dealing with office affairs, Hado remarked, "Renault, I didn't expect Shocker's base to be so huge."
"Yeah..." Renault nodded. "And it's built beneath Mt. Fuji. It seems we need to be cautious during tomorrow's operation. Otherwise, it might have irreversible consequences."

Homura was speechless.

A little over ten minutes later, when Ritsuka wanted to complain about being hungry, Stheno led everyone to the depths of the temple.
As they reached the bronze doors, they swung open automatically, bathing their faces in a radiant golden glow. Countless gold coins, bricks, and ingots were piled up like mountains, while on the other side, silver, ten times more abundant than gold, glittered alongside countless jewels.
Diamonds, gemstones, cat's eyes, agate, amber, carnelian, jade,...

Arkhan gazed at the vast and desolate land before him. The barren surface revealed no traces of life, and the murky sky hung heavily overhead, creating a sense that it could collapse at any moment.
The air was filled with a strong 'True Ether', an energy that could be found anywhere in the Age of Gods. For the people of the current era, it was akin to the most potent poison. However, due to the flow of Nidhogg's power within his body, Arkhan not only felt no discomfort but rather a comf...

The moment Lox saw the soldiers of Camelot charging out from the Hadrian's Wall, he knew that his remaining soldiers couldn't be saved. Without hesitation, he chose to retreat.
He had figured out that Camelot was well aware of their actions and had prepared in advance.
'Someone definitely betrayed us!' His teeth were almost grinding to pieces, filled with endless frustration.
What was supposed to be a surefire war turned out to be a massive setback from the start. Thinking a...

This is Hadrian's Wall, originally built during the Roman Empire's occupation of Britain as a military fortress. Now, with the Romans nearly vanished from these lands, this magnificent structure still stands, serving as a solid barrier for the people of the South against external threats.

No one could forget that it was Uther's defeat by Vortigern that plunged Camelot into a fifteen-year decline. Now, the same White Dragon that haunted them fifteen years ago was back. Would history repeat itself?
Even though the current ruler held the title of the Chosen King, Uther himself had a legendary undefeated record forged through c...

"Absolutely." Bedivere nodded without hesitation.
For the past fifteen years, Camelot had maintained a policy of rest and recovery, and its food reserves were quite abundant.
Arkhan nodded slightly, then turned toward Morgan to inquire about the financial situation.

In the council chamber, Artoria, Bedivere, Kay, Morgan, Ferguson, and the others sat around the round table, the atmosphere slightly tense.
This was mainly because Arkhan's serious expression made everyone feel a bit uneasy, especially when they saw Merlin, who was usually laid-back, sitting obediently next to him.
The sense of unease grew stronger.
Everyone had a vague intuition that this impromptu meeting might be something significant.
