Elena frowned at the sudden change in Aldrian. His bearing and aura had become much stronger, exuding a pressure that should not belong to someone at the Marquess stage. She felt shaken—why would a cultivator at his level emit such an overwhelming and stifling presence? It was beyond her comprehension.What she didn’t know was that she was already inside one of Aldrian’s domains—one he had established upon arriving in this city, days before he attacked the Larson family. As a precaution, he had created several domains, and one of them happened to be here, just outside the city walls, where few people ever passed.Aldrian lured her here not only because this was his domain, but also because he was curious about Elena and wanted to face her personally.Aldrian suddenly disappeared from Elena’s sight, making her eyes widen in shock. However, she quickly lifted her peak Heaven-grade sword and blocked the sudden attack coming from her left.Tang! Whoosh!The clash of swords echoed as a gus

A few days later, in the morning at Larson City, Aldrian and his group stood in front of one of the city’s teleportation stations. However, unlike usual, their group had two new members: Arthur and—"What are you doing here?" Arthur asked Elena, who was following them, wearing a new robe that concealed her appearance."Why can’t I? I also have business with Young Master Aldrian, so it’s more convenient to follow him," she replied.Arthur couldn’t refute her, nor could he simply throw her out, as she had her own reasons. Besides, the place they were heading to accepted anyone without many restrictions—except, of course, devils.When their number was called, they finally stepped into the teleportation portal to visit one of the holiest places on the continent.------------------------------The Heavenly Direction Church’s territory is like any other, with its own hierarchy. However, the difference is that this territory is led by religious authorities, so the country’s principles are ba

Calling out the name of the spell, despite not needing to, the magic circle activated, and a massive barrier of radiant light encapsulated me and anything within its range. The shimmer is similar to another magic spell that I love to use, [Shine]. What I mean by this is that it emits a holy elemental light, that illuminates the area like a shining bulb. [“Such a nice white.”] Said Ms. Segawa, mesmerized by the brilliant white light that this spell is emitting. I silently nodded to her statement, panning my head from one side to other, just enjoying this sight. I was standing at the epicenter of this spell, feeling as if a giant spotlight was beaming an intense ray of light directly on me. It feels like I was on stage. Fully satisfied, I dispelled the spell. It’s still only morning but this kinda light will still attract a lot of unwanted attention. “This is, uhh, a pretty nice surprise.” I simply stated. [“I concur.”] Ms. Segawa nodded. [“I faintly felt something prickly on my skin by

Urgh, why is it so cold outside…? Only a month ago, I, Tatsuya Nagata, was a simple student who complained about how mundane his life was, not realizing how much I would miss it once it was gone. To stave off my boredom, I developed a hobby of playing video games and reading fiction. I loved it. Immersing myself in these worlds made me wish that I could also spice my life up. A bit more adventure and surprises. …Somebody up there probably heard it, but this is not what I wanted. One month ago, I and my whole class, except our homeroom teacher, was transported into a medieval
