Chapter 526 - The Exploit

Freya realized she was being stupid.

The battlefield was filled with Level 5 strong fighters. A Level 4 like her lacked the qualification to stand at that stage. Entering it was simply inviting death.

And yet, that was exactly what she did.

Why? Because she couldn't just watch while her master, who she respected and loved like a father, was fighting all on his own against the cultists.

She didn't care about the Aurora Scroll of whatever. She only wanted to... save Greg...

Chapter 525 - Assassin Superior

The outstanding Prince Vadym Sapphire Latias, the 34th prince of the late King Lahar, went into battle with Tanael without any apprehension on his part.

And why should he? Vadym had clashed with people stronger than him frequently. Tanael might be a Level 4 mid but he was still only a Level 4 mid. Vadym wouldn't be able to defeat him but only because the Level 4 had his Domain. Without Domain, Vadym was confident he could defeat a Level 4. And while he couldn't defeat Tanael, w...

Chapter 524 - Battle of Invisibles

When he was transferred here because of the Aurora Scroll’s thingamajig, he was ripped out of his Vanish in Abyss Arte.

In that unstealthed state, Tanael entered the race area. He wasn't being reckless, but he didn't sense any threats around him. The sudden attacks proved him wrong.

Tanael might be caught off guard, but it still wasn't enough to take him down. He jumped straight up as high as fifteen meters in an instant and shot Faiya’s flames downwards, creating a wide field...

Chapter 523 - Late Start

After the countdown reached zero, two Level 5s from the cults, Grausam the Catastrophe and Marlborough the Undying Juggernaut, shot towards the sun-like Aurora Scroll.

At the same time, the giant skeleton of earth and bone with three heads, which Tanael decided to call it Bob, attacked the people around him, like people cleaning the rubbish on a dining table. The people were still standing behind the start line.

Despite the name, Bob was among the top-tier contenders in this event...

Chapter 522

Pushed by the urgency of the situation, Tanael swiftly made his way to the second floor.

For his Pathseeker build, he put much importance on speed and agility. Speed meant a faster dead enemy and a greater likelihood of escaping when encountering a dangerous situation.

Of course, his offence was no less important. Bigger attack stat meant faster dead enemies, greater efficiency for EXP farming. Everyone who had ever played video games knew it.

No longer shepherding the seven...

Chapter 521 - Premonition

“Go now, girls. This is all too much for you and brings nothing good.”

“Your Holy Majesty, I-”

“Dear child... May your heart be free from the icy flames of revenge that continue to hurt you and find peace’s embrace.”

The veiled woman touched Olivia’s forehead with a finger that glowed blue for a second. Olivia looked overwhelmed. With a swish of the woman’s hand, Olivia and the other Black Ice Apostates disappeared from Freya’s sight.

Isidaris, Frey...

Chapter 520 - Destiny Given Form

Izabella watched the traitorous Restil as he sank into a bloody sandpit that suddenly appeared under his feet. The guy struggled but who was he to deny the Blood Goddess her due?

When Izabella agreed to become a Vampire Progenitor by accepting a single drop of Yasterah’s blood, it came with a condition: one in every three of her ‘children’, meaning the vampires she would create and become her household.

On the seventh night of their birth as a vampire, Yasterah expected Izab...

Chapter 519 - FUBAR

Tanael stood amidst destruction.

The reason he attacked the HQ was pretty simple. Cut off the head and the body was cripelled. With this act of his, he had made the defensive effort of the Tower of Remorse forces far harder. Which was to his benefit, since he had to escape from the damn place.

He had got what he set out to do. Six Level 5 subordinates, bound in servitude for the next one hundred years. Besides that, he had got knowledge from some of the biggest and baddest crimina...

Chapter 518 - All Went to Shit

Tower of Remorse.

Summarizing the current situation, it was chaos. 

Tanael only spent 34 minutes on the hidden prisoner floor, but the situation had changed considerably.

***

Fifth Floor - Forest of Punishment 

Freya, who had been tricked by Tanael to guard an unrelated place, tried to chase after Tanael. However, along the way she crossed paths with Whiskey Dog and the rest of the Warbringers battle maniac.

This particular cultist had been massac...

Chapter 517

At first, the remaining prisoners thought Tanael meant to abandon them, leaving them to their fate. However, from the killing intent he radiated, the seasoned criminals knew he meant to butcher them like dogs.

“W-why?” Budadiaz, the Rivershaker, frowned.

Tanael snorted.

“Why? You ask why? Is it not obvious? You all can still be of use to me, as fertilizer to my growth. I already gave you two chances, to get on board or not. You leftovers... hehehe. By your own hand you...

Chapter 516 - Tanael Deals

The prisoners were lost for words from Tanael’s response. Whatever guesses they had, it was way off the mark. Even Jordan gave him a weird look from behind.

“Insolent brat! You think we’re apes!?” a guy said.

“So you’re not?” Tanael questioned softly.

“Obviously!”

“Wonderful! See, even apes can live in groups and work together, for safety or whatever, so you lot definitely able as well. We just need to be better than apes. Gahahaha!”

In a gr...

Chapter 515 - Tower of Remorse - Bleeding Hearts

Fuck! I love this part of my life! Don't you think so, Faiya?

Darth Tanael had slain his enemies. The armor he replicated with Soul Gear Liquid Arte. The laser sword from the Magisterium raid, he couldn't resist not using it for too long. The temptation was too much. Therefore, even though it was risky, Viers allowed his clone to bring it with him to the Tower of Remorse raid.

Of course, should it be lost, Viers had already copied its design. It wouldn't be easy but he co...

Chapter 514

By reaching the hidden floor beyond the fifth, Tanael felt Freya had successfully fallen into his two-fold trap.

After his talk with Cedric, realizing he shouldn't kill him, the villain repurposed the otherworlder into a liability.

The wound on him would make Freya go to seek treatment for him instead of chasing Tanael. He’d also led Cedric to believe he was after the ‘domesticated’ otherworlders under the Church’s care.

Without question the domesticated otherworlder...

Chapter 513 - Tower of Remorse - Forest of Punishment

When Tanael descended to the fifth floor, he was greeted by trees. So many trees.

“Stop them!”

“Hold them until the Warden gets here!”

Fights were rife around him. The cultists who had entered first had begun fending off the guards. There were not many of the prison guards, since the bulk had been called to the fourth floor for the blockade. These guards were remnants but they were pretty strong, especially the Guard Chef of the fifth.

Still, the big shots of e...

Chapter 512 - Tower of Remorse - Thunder Bath

Freya ran as fast as her feet could take her.

It was hard to believe Cedric could be defeated. With his skills, even above-average cultists shouldn't be his match. Then again, his enemy was another otherworlder.

She knew more than most how troublesome they could become.

Freya realized in her mind that she had been careless. She only prayed her carelessness didn't cost her another teammate.

Third floor... Cedric’s signal is over there. Let me make it in time!...

Chapter 511 - Otherworlders Talk

Seeing the other side lost in thought, Cedric continued the conversation.

“Tanael, your name is known to us. You’ve done quite a lot of damage in these few years. We’ve been searching for you. Those in the know have already suspected you are an otherworlder. With the stunts you pulled in the Tower, I guess you’re no longer hiding your origin.”

“So?”

“What is your purpose here?” Cedric's tone became steely.

Tanael chuckled. “Are you asking me to reve...

Chapter 510 - Tower of Remorse - Excess Deprivation

“Leeroy Jenkins, twin-tailed anime girl, Sauron... I think I know what kind of guy I’m dealing with.”

After watching the recordings of a certain individual, Cedric explained to Freya. While she was thinking, she received another report from HQ.

“The cultists have entered the third floor.”

Freya was aware of the plan about containing the breach at the fourth floor’s entrance. She thought it was reasonable. The nature of the third would dissuade the infiltrators fr...

Chapter 509 - Tower of Remorse - Weight of Sin

Chapter 508 - Tower of Remorse - Boiling Baptism

“...Did he just?” Helene asked the question more to herself than to others.

“G-go!” Izabella invoked an Arte for containment. Tanael was already fighting.

...With fire? What? Soul, water, and lightning, now he has fire? Unbelievable! Next time he sneezes, will he gain a wind affinity!?

All the group charged in and it was a chaotic fight like a brawl in a tavern.

***

“You better have a nice excuse,” Restil had a murderous look. “Otherwise, y...

Chapter 507 - Legendary Beginning

Arsène S. Tanael, as a clone of Viers Isuel, was no stranger to war.

Putting Fables such as 40K aside, he had been embroiled in the Battle of Valkut, Conquest of Magisterium Tower, Defense of Gryphon's Reach, and most recently, the Grandia Campaign.

The final point of the campaign, the assault on Grandia Castle would be ongoing at this time but Tanael had split from Viers beforehand. This way he could participate in the Tower of Remorse raid.

Witnessing the cults and their ...

Chapter 506 - Oracle

“Master Gregory! It has been a long time.”

Freya bowed to a man with a commanding presence. He had a square jaw, a refined look, and hair combed back. He was clean-shaven and carried himself with grace. He had the air of a gallant nobleman at the prime of his life.

He was Freya’s teacher.

“Freya. I’m happy to see you are well.”

“I didn't expect to see you here. Imagine my surprise when Warden Myers informed me of your presence.”

“Heh... Even our...

Chapter 505 - Omen

“-and that’s the gist of the plan.”

“I see.”

Arsène S. Tanael elegantly drank the expensive beverage in a bar. Across the table, there was a pale-skinned woman so beautiful that lesser men would be charmed even without an Arte.

“Oh, congratulations, by the way, for your promotion, again. So soon after your last, Blood Vicar Izabella.”

“Thank you.”

In a Blood Church’s hidden base, one of their largest on the continent, Izabella and Tanael ente...

Chapter 504 - End in Ruins

The battle between Rostov and the two dragons was hard to miss. Both dragons were bigger than houses; they flew and fought with incredible power.

Rostov’s spine was steeled by the matter of ‘face’ and pride. What would it mean to him if he got defeated by Croix, a teenager of eighteen, dragons or not. What would it mean for the Empire’s morale if one of the Ten Tundras was repelled by those with a lower Level?

In the end, above all that, Rostov prized his life more.

...

Chapter 503 - Red, Blue, Purple

Boram once again keenly felt the bite of his own stupidity.

He foolishly kept moving forward, pushing the Empire’s defense line back to the castle walls with the other Latias forces. He got drunk on the allies’ cheers and killing enemies as he pressed ever forward. He breached the castle, and somewhere here, Master Avel was being held. Boram fully intended to break into every room and kill every imperial to find out his Master’s location.

Only, the sudden emergence of the go...

Chapter 502 - Fangs Bared

The goat demon was a surprise that not even Viers anticipated. He had no idea how such a being appeared in front of his eyes today. He’d put his money on the demon being sealed either under the castle or in the land sometime in a long, bygone past. It was the common groove but he didn't discard other avenues. Perhaps the big, bipedal, four-armed goat had been summoned, or conveniently revived from old wounds because of the blood spilled today; those were pretty common motifs too.

It t...

Chapter 501

Ciel, Croix, and Leth. These three extraordinary young Pathseekers were fighting one man together. The opponent was a Level 4 but Ciel was the same . Croix had his dragon and Leth had his mad dragon’s armor, these elevated their power, equivalent to Level 3 peak.

Their battle was awe-inspiring. The Artes they used made the elites of both sides feel inadequate. The rest of the 100-man strong Red Dragon Unit were fighting the surrounding Harkelan soldiers so they wouldn't be interrupted...

Chapter 500 - The Grandia Redemption

The destruction created by the Deus Vult BFG was far above Viers’ expectations. Perhaps he went too far in designing the gun and ammo type. At the time, he just went with firepower and more firepower; nothing else mattered.

The Grandia Castle had sturdy walls. Viers remembered that his non-Horizon boosted full-powered Slash the Sky Arte was only able to leave a scratch on the walls.

Deus Vult’s blast created a big hole as if the Colossus Titan from Shingeki no Kyojin ...

Chapter 499 - Slave Six Siege: Player Unknown Doomed Fort Battlefield

Full Title:
Slave Six Siege: Player Unknown Doomed Fort Battlefield Duty Calls Counter Strike Helldive Halo Destiny

-

-

Since he heard the Harkelans designate him as Slave Six, Viers’ mind attached the word ‘Siege’ behind those two words.

Because of the word Slave Six Siege, Viers was in a FPS mood.

The mood made him want to shoot people and caused mayhem.

Viers created body armor inspired by the Praetor Suit. The means was Soul Gear Liquid Arte.<...

Chapter 498 - Soul Gear Liquid

Viers had a lot of experience breaking and entering into enemy strongholds. First, it was from video games. After that, first hand experience in the real world. Most times, stealth was paramount. Then again, he had his fair share of experience when things became FUBAR and he had to fight his way to the objective, killing everyone in his path.

Either way, he got a window of opportunity to freely move after escaping the dungeon. While his first instinct was to escape the hell out of here ...

Chapter 497 - No More Patience

Viers walked like a sinner about to face his retribution. The karma of his past misdeeds was coming back to demand justice. The underground prison was cold and dark. Grandia Caste was a very old castle; The shadows seemed to tell the misery that happened here in the time long past and near.

When he arrived at the torture chamber, not unlike the one where he was branded by the slave seal, the aide of Rostov who accompanied Viers spoke.

“So, Slave Six. Ready to say goodbye to your...
