魔の都の二剣士 / Ma no miyako no nikenshi

The blend of physical combat and mystical elements feels unique. I wonder if Fritz Leiber drew from specific myths or his own imagination to create this magic system.

Some chapters felt like they took their time, which made the moments of action even more impactful. Was this deliberate to deepen the world or characters?

The setting feels almost like a character itself—harsh, beautiful, and unforgiving. I'm curious whether Fritz Leiber had specific inspirations for this environment.
