Chapter 1907: Looking Down

Despite his face being used as a springboard, Vahn’s expression remained largely unchanged as he shifted his attention from the aggrieved Maschenny to view the inordinately handsome man with the characteristic features of the Khun Family sitting on an ornate stone throne. This resulted in Maschenny gritting her teeth, and, though she knew it was ultimately futile, that didn’t stop …

Chapter 1906: Violent

Though the blue-haired youth gave off the impression of someone who was exceptionally skilled, the difference between him and Scathach was like heaven and earth.

Even this, however, was nothing compared to …

Chapter 1905: Structure

With everyone gradually coming together, Vahn was at a loss but unsurprised to learn that a total of seventeen Sworn Enemy versions of himself would be populating the Hidden Floor. Fortunately, if they were anything like him, he didn’t have to worry about them endangering anyone. Rather, if they were a reflection of the way the girls saw him, he …

Chapter 1904: Settlement

As a Wandering Minstrel, Mi-eum acted as a guide, scribe, and, loremaster for ‘warriors’ venturing through the Hidden Floor.

Chapter 1903: Reflection

Though he might have been helpless to ascertain Gustang’s intentions through the reading of his mind, there were countless other ways to discover the truth. Foremost among these was having the Law of Identity transform into the Sacred Tome, as, with the exception of concepts even higher than itself, it recorded all knowledge within the Transcendental Path to Heaven. The …

Chapter 1902: Perturbance

Despite being exponentially colder, so much so that a perpetual layer of ice and snow blanketed much of the region, North City was far more populous than its counterpart to the south.

Chapter 1901: Stirrings

Despite having inscribed his Familia Crest on more than a hundred people, Vahn still felt a swelling of pride whenever he left his mark on a beautiful woman. There was something about the process that excited his most primal instincts, and, though they weren’t exactly his, he couldn’t help feeling an inkling of possessiveness towards those who bore his mark. …

Chapter 1900: Predatory

Of all the surprises he had expected, Vahn wasn’t particularly fazed when Ureko pulled out a small box filled with more than forty pairs of neatly arranged panties, smiling as she said, “It might be a little excessive, but I figured I might as well aim for a complete set. At this point, the only ones I’m missing belong to …

Chapter 1899: Expanding Horizons

After a long conversation regarding Hell Joe’s fate, Vahn agreed to let Wolhaiksong take him into custody after conferring with Ryun and Ai. Their vengeance wasn’t his responsibility to mete out, so, knowing Joe was yet another victim of circumstance, Ryun took the initiative to pardon him on the premise that Ureko forego seeking recompense from FUG. Ureko wasn’t particularly …

Chapter 1898: A Demonstration of True Power

Extricating himself from a pile of debris that buried him beneath hundreds of meters of earth, Hell Joe couldn’t help feeling a little shaken as he viewed the hemispherical crater formed from Vahn’s release of energy. It had completely erased a series of small mountains, and, more surprisingly, an area nearly 80km across had been completely glassed. At the very …
