Chapter 1277: Interlude: Magical Supremacy (2/2)

Having built up various small grievances over the last few months, Semiramis was looking forward to the chance to vent some of her pent-up frustrations. She was actually considerably weaker than any of the other Caster Class Servants as, unlike them, she was, in fact, an Assassin Class Servant. If not for her Unique Skill, [Double Summon], allowing her to …

Chapter 1276: Interlude: Magical Supremacy (1/2)

With Scáthach securing first place in the Tournament, things moved on to the challenge phase of the event but, with the absence of Mordred, the only person to issue a challenge was Gawain. This was a bit of a surprise as Vahn had expected several people to challenge Gray. However, while it was true that the latter had made it …

Chapter 1275: Interlude: Tournament of Power (3/3)

With the winners from the first round determined in a little under two hours, there was still plenty of time to continue with the Tournament. Thus, after a few words of encouragement to both the victors and defeated, Vahn took up the second box to draw names. Fortunately, when he had been giving his short speech, Artoria, sans Mordred, ended …

Chapter 1274: Interlude: Tournament of Power (2/3)

Though it was clear that Heracles didn’t look down on Kenshin, Vahn couldn’t help but feel that the prodigious Demigod wasn’t going all out. While Kenshin certainly had the skill advantage, Heracles himself had mastered nearly all forms of combat. His Agility itself wasn’t that much lower than Kenshin’s and, while he couldn’t use things like [Shundo], he should more …

Chapter 1273: Interlude: Tournament of Power (1/3)

(A/N: I’m writing these so that there are no major cliffhangers. Feel free to read them as they are released.) It was impossible to make sure things were completely fair and balanced but, in an effort to give everyone a chance at bettering their ranking, a rule that allowed people to challenge anyone in a higher position than them had …

Chapter 1272: Interlude: Preparation Phase

Ever since the first time he held Court, Vahn had made a habit of convening everyone at least once a week, real-time. This gave everyone nearly a month and a half of recess within the Projection so it hadn’t really caused any disputes thus far. During normal circumstances, Vahn would just listen to Gawain’s reports before having everyone share any …

Chapter 1271: Interlude: Past, Present, and Future

With the introduction of so many new Heroic Spirits, things had gotten relatively hectic within the Empire. Though nothing too serious had transpired, there were obvious issues with existences such as Azathoth and Leviathan. Semiramis had been in the process of collecting materials to create her Hanging Gardens after finally realizing she wasn’t going to be able to get her …

Chapter 1270: Interlude: Deep Rumination

High above the skies of Avalon, above even the dominion of the Sylph, Vahn was seated in silent contemplation. He would normally have a number of people at his side but, at this moment, he was enjoying the frigid atmosphere, despite the fact there wasn’t even enough oxygen to take a single breath… Vahn wasn’t alone in his rumination. Rather, …

Chapter 1269: Interlude: Troubling Affairs

Following the summoning of Okita, Vahn decided to bring the summoning event to a close. Six summons seemed to be his current limit and, due to his prior agreement with Akasha, he was the only person capable of activating the system. Even Da Vinci’s best efforts had been unable to crack the structure of the formation as the majority of …

Chapter 1268: Interlude: Pushing Boundaries

Though he did not mean to belittle her, Vahn couldn’t help but chuckle in response to Semiramis’ words about being the oldest poisoner. While others may be in danger if her actions were ignored, he had absolute confidence in his immunity to poisons. His blood could even purify and purge the corruption of Angra Mainyu from his system so, even …
