Chapter 261 - Everybody Is Arte Fighting

Ten level 3s were a great force.

To put it in Earth’s terms, a Level 2 was a special forces’ soldier while a Level 3 was a tank. A Level 3’s Unreality Field that was impenetrable to conventional attacks was akin to the tank's thick armor.

Currently, Viers and the others were similar to ten fully provisioned tanks going rogue. On top of that, they had a Level 4, a high-yield mobile rocket artillery with them.

To subdue the rogue elements, Jerrold brought twice the force...

Chapter 260 - Open Combat

Ciel approached Viers who was sitting cross-legged was being surrounded by flickering green spheres of light from behind. It was as if he was surrounded by ominous fiery fireflies.

With the exception of Mita who stayed in the center, the others were placed in the eight directions to detect the incoming enemies while giving each other some space.

She gritted her teeth. Viers was in the middle of invoking his soul-consuming Arte to boost his power, the one that he used before the co...

Chapter 259 - Parabellum

Viers wanted to say ‘Guns, lots of guns’, but his self-preservation instinct exceeded his want of saying movie quotes so he didn't.

Viers put on his suit while the others took glances at his arms collection. He had a lot because he killed a lot. Of course, Viers didn't exhibit weapons that might compromise his identity. These weapons were specifically selected for public viewing.

“Whoa… incredible craftsmanship, these two,” Conn was admiring a pair of gauntlets not withi...

Chapter 258 - Lock-and-Load Montage

Pinaca was too much of a liability if he had to escape from a Level 4 so Viers did the sensible thing.

Viers killed her so he could put her body in an inventory item, and still get her soul for soul search later.

It was the logical choice. Though, other people’s moralities prevented them from making that choice.

Inside the White Flowers Meadow, Paina watched the V-Stream in silent shock. Her eyes widened and she cupped her mouth with both hands. She hadn't even talked to h...

Chapter 257

“Unem… What have you done?”

Mita was shocked by the actions of her colleague. That was an attack with the intention to kill. She and the other valkut people didn't even bat an eye at involving the hostage in Viers’ hand or other collateral.

They were still in the city. The attack of a Level 4 and tens of Level 3s simultaneously was a significant force. The area surrounding Viers was reduced to a cloud of smoke and smithereens.

“Paina–!” Rose screamed in a panic...

Chapter 256 - Removing Pretenses

“Rose, more power!” Damon shouted.

“Yes!”

“Keep it stable, everyone. Just a bit more!” Rachel said.

The Silver Legionaries were in formation, chains of silver dragging out something from a crack in space. Other combatants were waiting with their weapons unsheathed.

A demonic beast was dragged out from the Biome, thrashing and roaring furiously. It had two heads, one resembling a wolf and the other, a bird. The Rank 4 demon was as big as a whale.

“At...

Chapter 255 - A Happy Wedding

The V-Stream was showing that Viers was leaving Valkut city. He moved stealthily to avoid the detection of others.

“Fhuuu… Nothing happened. Thank goodness,” Paina sighed in relief.

“But why did Lord Viers tell Rose about Leon in the first place?” Farley pondered.

“Must be another Fable of his… He doesn't seem to want to talk about it this time,” Clarissa said.

Viers was aware of the three’s conversation in his soul space but he didn't explain anythin...

Chapter 254 - Mita Eshel

Devil worshipers have been hiding among the populace since ages past. They infiltrated large settlements and slowly grew like parasites.

Each devil cult had its own characteristics, reflecting the nature of its devil god. Dumuzin cult, the cult that had the most influence in Luxore town, was fond of chaos.

It meant they often did terror acts.

One of such acts was where Leon, a dear friend of Rose and a fellow orphan, died.

***

Even though Rose was in a temporary ...

Chapter 253 - End of Date's Confession

“W-w-why are you going inside?” Ciel shouted at Viers.

“Chill, Ciel. She didn't seem hostile at the moment,” Viers was as cool as a cucumber and it was a pun intended.

“She’s an assassin!” Rose reminded as if the fact had been lost to Viers.

“Oh pish posh, girls. Relax. I won't do anything to you, any of you. I have made an Oath, you see. With that scary guy…”

Viers knew she was pointing out at the mysterious savior that didn't exist.

“Anywa...

Chapter 252 - Quadruple Date

With the new addition, there were five people at the table.

Because there were attacks on the Wrights -unknown to all but they were caused by the same person- Pinaca was followed by bodyguards wherever she went. The bodyguards stood behind their wards, Pinaca and Russ. Close enough to react in emergencies but not to the point of becoming obstructions to their daily lives. The bodyguards skillfully erased their presence so that if they weren't in Viers’ field of vision, he might forget...

Chapter 251 - Double Date

Governor-King Alvared opened his eyes for the first time in four months, ending his deep meditation.

Someone is making a ruckus in my domain...

He didn't open his eyes when he sensed the arrival of someone with the stink of his hateful uncle and this spatial disturbance was too minor to warrant his attention, but dozens of other minor factors compounded.

It was Fate’s way of telling him that the time had come.

The brown-haired man looked to be in his thirtie...

Chapter 250 - Scorched Earth

“Aaarrrgghh!!”

An elder was zapped by a thunderbolt created by an elderly woman that looked like she was over one hundred years old.

She was Yevani Chevry, the Matriarch of House Chevry. Candice’s great great grandmother.

“Your punishment comes later. Now we push through,” Yevani said. Her voice was like the creaking of old wood.

“...Yes.”

He was the Level 3 elder that acted as the overseer of this expedition. He was not the only one getting zapped....

Chapter 249 - Serene Thunder Aviary

Pah! Useless… sack of fat!

After a busy and tiring day, Candice was eager to get her well-earned sleep, only to be interrupted by a commotion. Bustin, one of her uncles, had lost his marbles. He was found by the retrieval crew that was meant to collect the crystals. Only there were no crystals, only a delirious Busdin. He blatantly stole the mana crystals from the mine and claimed that a candy dragon, of all things, ate them.

Candice had seen it with her own ey...

Chapter 248 - In His Element

More than 50 percent of Pathseekers in this world were Level 2 and below, therefore Level 3s were the elites in this world. Level 4s were the great lords and Level 5s were the overlords.

On average, only one in a hundred Level 2s were able to ascend to Level 3. Idlers rarely got to meet them. That was why when eight Level 3 Silver Legionaries walked on the street, it had such an impact.

Be that as it may, the disparity between trash-tier Level 3s like Busdin with a trashy foundati...

Chapter 247 - Trickster

“Water Slash!”

Viers’ water-clad claymore hit the charging bull in the flank.

“Mm?”

The bull was undaunted. Its eyes were mad red. Saliva spewed out as it bellowed.

“Slip Sleet!” Viers slapped the ground, stylishly.

The ground near Viers was covered by water and ice. The bovine demon slipped and gouged a boulder instead of Viers.

“Water Chains! Azure Edge!”

Viers stopped its movement and stabbed his claymore into its skull.

“...

Chapter 246 - De-Stress

Since Viers awakened from getting sent to the border between life and death by Lykin, four days had passed. With his healing factor and great treatment, courtesy of the Church, Viers had fully recovered.

On this sunny autumn morning, Viers was snacking on a high vitality chicken-lizard wing while listening to the blind old woman make music. Viers had made it a habit to visit her every day. Paina was by his side. While her focus was on the music, Viers’ was on his food.

Ahh, ...
