Chapter 25 - Trash Prince “You went to the ruins all on your own and even fought imperial forces to the death? And you captured the imperial ‘Hero’ Cohen ‘Heart Scan’ Socaccio!?” A boyish voice shouted, agitated. It belonged to the boy acting as an escort for merchant Dvorg Tsarrich. He was clearly overwhelmed. “...don’t shout like that, you’ll reopen my wounds. I’ve apologized enough already, haven’t I?” We were in the inn’s cafeteria: I, bandaged everywhere, was enjoying…-

Chapter 16 - The Man Called Sword Emperor All around me, sharp, black objects emerged from the shadows — swords. A scene very familiar to me. It was slightly different than usual however. More precisely, the shapes of the shadow swords were not all the same. “I’ll show you something special.” My words were directed at my opponent, Grimnaught Izak — but also at the creator of the illusion barrier, Traum, and the man who built the ruins, Rudolf. — can you see me? I didn’t say who. The…

Chapter 17 - Final Destination 『 — pretty much the shittiest thing I’ve ever seen, that sword of yours.』 A man’s voice mixed into my hearing. It was an illusion — the voice of a man I had killed a long time ago. 『...you’ve got the sword skills of so many people mixed in it. Not in the dozens, not even in the hundreds...too many to even count. How many people did you kill, “Sword Emperor”...? Haha...hahaha...』 The man’s head was wrapped in cloth. He stood before the past me, a feral…

Chapter 18 - Vincenz — Swords, broadswords. Twin swords...spears and knuckles. Fay switched weapon after weapon and continued to strike the giant, extremely pleased man. Two women watched their fight as they approached. They were walking at a normal speed, probably because they knew they would just get in the way if they tried to help. “...Your Highness.” One of the women, Feli, furrowed her brow. She could not understand how Fay could use so many different weapons. “...after seeing them…

Chapter 19 - Walk and Fall on the Path of Pride What exactly is a path you can be proud of? I spent countless hours dwelling on this dilemma, the weight of the wills I inherited oppressing my shoulders. Even the answer I reached after all that, however, was not perfectly clear. . — Live. . Those were the words spoken to me by my mother, before dying to protect me. Her sobs grazed my ears. The unpleasant smell of burning flesh stung my nostrils. Time and again, they attacked my senses together with the…

Chapter 14 - Two Similar People “...what...what’s all this about...” Elena’s expression and tone were both blank, confused. She had dropped to her knees, then leant backwards and sat on the ground. Then uttered the same words again. “What’s all this about…?” She laughed to herself. A self-deprecating laugh. Her face was twisted, her eyes swollen with tears. She looked at me, with no embarrassment. “...my country’s gone. My father, everyone else, all gone. So I looked for Time Magic,…

Chapter 20 - Glacier World Once again, I realized I wasn’t a match for him. ...no, that wasn’t right. That’s what *he made me think*. “ — ha...hahaha...” I swung my sword. That was all I could do, in my past or present life. That was the only ability I had, as someone who lived in a hellish world where lamenters never found solace. What could I do? To swing my sword, to kill, that was it. I swung my sword for my own satisfaction, nothing else. I didn’t kill because I enjoyed it, but my…

Chapter 15 - A Fool’s Lament I was forced to face that reality time and again in my past, hence I said those words. In the end, what truly mattered was not ideals, not beliefs, definitely nothing metaphysical: it was only your own strength. I was a fool that honed his blade all his life, after being overwhelmed by this truth. That’s why I said the same thing to her. “Strength...right. If I had enough strength, things might have been different...” Elena looked at me, her eyes brimming with…
