Chapter 1867: Options

Though he couldn’t exactly call their matters resolved, Vahn shifted his attention away from Angel and Elliot, his eyes passing over the other three before settling on the white-haired ‘youth’ named Vicente. This caused the latter to furrow his brows slightly, but, rather than show any fear, his voice was extremely calm as he asked, “Did you really kill Hoaqin?” …

Chapter 1866: Compromise : Encounter

After a cataclysmic battle that devastated their surroundings and even caused a cave-in of sorts, a ‘chibi’ version of Mordred could be seen breathing laboriously with a malcontent-looking lion cub in her arms. The latter had a remarkably humanoid expression, resembling someone who had just eaten a ‘very’ sour grape, as, no matter how much it tried, it could not …

Chapter 1865: Dominance

With the restoration of White being their primary objective aboard the Hell Express, Vahn wasn’t surprised to find the Conductor, representing FUG, waiting for them outside of Hoaqin’s chamber. He had actually expected the man to take action immediately after the seal was first removed, but, as they hadn’t actually broken any rules, doing so would result in his authority …

Chapter 1864: Burn

With the body of the massive Guardian dissipating into a pale blue mist, the only thing standing between Vahn’s group and the man known as White was a single sealed door. Under normal circumstances, only those with the ‘key’ would be able to gain access to the sealed chamber. It was protected by a series of electric locks and a …

Chapter 1863: Leisure : Intrigue : Overwhelming

After an extended stay within the Emerald Grove, courtesy of his ability to control the flow of time within, Vahn, accompanied by Fenrir, Ryun, Illya, Eva, Asuna, Artoria, Gray, and Karin, reemerged within the confines of their room aboard the Hell Express. With the exception of Karin, who was primarily around to accompany Eva, the other seven, accounting for Mordred, …

Chapter 1862: Tyrant

Though there were a number of exceptions, such as the Name-Hunt Station on the 39th Floor, the Hell Express typically stopped for a total of one hour at each of the nine stations. This was further broken down into two thirty-minute blocks, the first allowing passengers to debark and the second allowing new arrivals to board. Just as he had …

Chapter 1861: Breakthrough

As a Tier 5 who had reached the pinnacle of a far more complex magical system, it only took Eva two days to practically master the Shinsu Black Hole Sphere. This left the God of Guardians utterly speechless, but, seemingly dissatisfied with ‘just’ leaving the man at a loss, Eva then proceeded to give a far more detailed explanation of …

Chapter 1860: Moving Forward by Taking a Few Steps Back

Since virtually everything in the Tower was new to them, the Hell Train included, Vahn gave the girls a detailed overview of the current situation while guiding them to where the God of Guardians was located. They had all basically ‘reincarnated’ into the current Record, and, unlike Fenrir, their origins had very little to do with The Path. He was …

Chapter 1859: Reunion : Rebirth

Ignoring the molten stone gradually hardening around him, Vahn continued to stare up at the sky with an absentminded smile on his face. He seemed oblivious to the fact that he was in the center of a massive crater, his eyes glistening with a cyan reflection as he gazed at the massive spell circle spreading across the sky. For a …

Chapter 1858: Orchestration

Nursing a headache comparable to the one he would feel after forging a Zanpakuto, Vahn allowed Fenrir and Ryun to nurse him for the better part of five hours before finally extricating himself from the duo’s embrace and picking up the previously discarded volume of Naruto. Curious to see what effect, if any, his actions had on the events depicted …
