Ryn

Chapter 234

He came across a couple more rabbits along his way. None of them managed to make a dent in his barrier, not even surviving the impact.

Realizing that defeated the purpose of his delving, he stopped using [Armaments of the Arcane]. In fact, he put a restriction on using any skills that didn’t have any direct synergy with [Thermal Empowerment]. 

So when the next rabbit came flying toward him, he didn’t place a barrier, instead concentrating on its movements with razor-sharp...

Chapter 233

Reinera POV

Reinera and Julius continued to put off their delve into the rift for the time being. Neither of them was in too much of a rush to get back to Heston.

Especially not when they had two very helpful people, personally tutoring them every day. 

While Richard was helping Julius with [Thermal Empowerment], Rebecca was helping her with aura and willpower training. 

Although she had exceptional mana control, her aura and willpower d...

Chapter 232

Julius had breakfast with Rebecca, Richard, Cory, and Reinera before they went for their daily training session. It had recently become a thing especially since they were already meeting in the morning, it just made sense that they would eat breakfast as well.

It was actually Richard’s idea. One that was becoming a good one as time went on. 

Julius learned a lot about the family of three during this time. 

Surprisingly, Rebecca was quite the sloppy person in the ...

Chapter 231

“Yeah, mage my ass!” Julius yelled out as the man snuck a left hook underneath his guard. Crashing a fist into his liver, leaving Julius in pain.

It had been almost a week since he had dinner with Richard and his family. During that time, whenever he wasn’t training with Richard, he and Reinera had made repeated attempts at the training course. 

They both managed to make improvements as well. Reinera consistently completed the second section and was making good progress...

Chapter 230

The restaurant was indeed very exclusive. But it wasn’t quite his cup of tea. 

Like the Golden Wheel in Heston had been, it was a luxurious place with amazing food. However, unlike the Golden Wheel, there was this uncomfortable air surrounding the place. 

It felt like a very posh and stuffy place meant for rich nobles. With that being said, it wasn’t like they had an awful experience. 

Matter of fact, Reinera fit in very well. She acted every bit like the ...

Chapter 229

It wasn’t that bad. Not as intense as he had been expecting at least. 

However, Reinera might have heavily disagreed on that. Rebecca made them strain their bodies until Reinera was gasping for air, crawling along the ground on her knees. Julius on the other hand faired way better, much to Rebecca’s surprise. 

She shouldn’t be though and neither should he. Julius had always pushed his physical training to the limit, which meant that he was in much better shape than...

Chapter 228

“Finally!” He heard Reinera yell out to him before he had even approached her.

He waved at her as she approached. The first thing he noticed was her aura. It was still restrained by whatever enchantments her disguising item had activated, but it didn’t hide the powerful feeling he got by looking at her.

“What took you so long? Did you have any problems?” She asked once she got within arms reach.

He nodded at her. “I did, but eventually got over it. What about you...

Chapter 227

When Julius finally left the chamber, he was welcomed by a servant just outside of the chamber. The servant in question was asleep and had a book opened up in his lap. The guy had probably been waiting outside of the chamber for who knows how long, waiting for Julius to either come out or to ask for something. 

He still didn’t know how long it had been. He resolved to get some sort of device that tracked time in the near future. 

Julius gave the guy a gentle nudge with...

Chapter 226

Casidus POV

Spying wasn’t the most noble of things he had done in his life, but he was known for his curiosity, even as a young boy. Just ask his mother.

He knew that it wasn’t proper and that his parents would have disapproved of his actions. But he couldn’t help himself. The fact that the boy had been inside the chamber for a really long time at this point made it even more tempting.

His friend was already done and officially Tier 3. She was currentl...

Chapter 225

It wasn’t that shocking that this particular orb was the most worrying out of the three epic skills. There was a reason why he had been wanting to save this one for last.

However, he wasn’t going to hesitate this time around. He knew what he was going for. He wanted to reach Tier 3 with three Concepts and three epic skills. There wasn’t anything that was going to stop him. He would do it or die trying.

He cranked up [Sage of Savagery] to its absolute max. It was so intense t...

Chapter 224

The intricacies of his soul weren’t something that he understood very well. 

As for how it was going to fuse with his other body and core, that was something he understood even less so.

There were too many variables to predict how it was going to go. The fact that he was reincarnated into a different world was just one issue. His soul damage and history of scarring his soul was another one. And then there were his many high-ranked skills that needed to be considered.

...

Chapter 223

The advancement potion wasn’t like he had been expecting at all. 

Although to be honest, he didn’t have any expectations at all. He hadn’t been planning to use any potions or assistance tools while he advanced.

He had heard many times that some potions that helped with progression often came at the cost of long-term stagnation. For example, skill potions aided with the leveling of one’s skills. However, if one used them frequently, it was common to see a plateau of pr...

Chapter 222

Lily POV

There were times when she resented being the daughter of House Violet. 

It wasn’t because her family was awful or cruel. In fact, they couldn’t be further from it. Out of the many noble houses that did terrible things, House Violet was one of the good ones. 

No, what she hated was the expectations that came with being from such an esteemed family. Everyone in the Empire knew of House Violet’s reputation. Which made it difficult to li...

Chapter 221

Eventually, Marquis Easten returned. Julius and Reinera were simply waiting and eating some snacks as they relaxed. 

“I have discussed your request with some of the elders of my House. Your first request was quite easy to agree upon. You will both be provided with our best advancement chambers to use in order to facilitate your advancement. We will also be providing you each with a Tier 3 Advancement Potion. They are of such quality that neither of you will experience any negativ...

Chapter 220

Both Julius and Reinera answered and asked a few more questions before being excused. Afterward, Lady Rebecca had taken them to a section of the estate where the two of them could relax. Before she left, she told them that they would talk to them after they settled some other matters.

Once they got into the room they were provided, he asked Reinera a question. “You really want to advance to Tier 3 already?”

She gave him a confident look. “I have been pushing the boundaries o...

Chapter 219

“Well now that is out of the way, I want to discuss the terms of your reward for saving Cory,” Marquis Easten said to them.

“There is no need to reward us, Marquis Easten,” Julius told the man, brushing him off.

“First off, call me Casidus you have earned that much at least. Also, there is no way I am going to let my grandson’s saviors walk away empty-handed.”

“No no, don’t worry about it.”

“Please, I insist.”

“Okay, I accept,” he said...

Chapter 218

After Julius was done retelling their journey, with a few omissions of course, he was asked some clarifying questions.

“How did you get into the warehouse? I can’t imagine they just allowed you to stroll right in?”

“I ended up stealing an access card from one of the people who left,” Julius admitted.

“You stole an access card from a Tier 3?” The man asked questioningly.

“I took her by surprise,” Julius said truthfully with a wince, recalling his ambus...

Chapter 217

Casidus Easten POV

The boy in front of him was quite an interesting case. 

His usual analysis skill wasn’t working on the boy, which wasn’t exactly unusual, a lot of people had skills or items that could shield them from skills such as his [Eyes of Zephyr]. In any case, being able to prevent his skill from working said a lot in itself.

That was why he ended up using his domain on them. It was a bit overbearing on his part, but he wanted to know why ...

Chapter 216

“This is quite the place,” he commented to nobody in particular. More just appreciating the beauty of the estate.

“How are you able to be distracted by the architecture at a time like this?” Reinera asked. She was calmly following Lady Rebecca, it was like she knew that they didn’t have a choice and was just going along with it.

In fact, Julius suspected that she was feeling pretty comfortable considering that she had always been around high-ranking nobles her entire lif...

Chapter 215

Julius had immediately noticed her when she got within his skill’s influence. She had been watching them silently for the past several minutes, ever since Frank took them back here.

Julius didn’t know for sure that it was this Lady Rebecca, but he was pretty certain that it was. She was wearing a fancy dress and had all of the signs of a noble lady. Also, he didn’t see a reason why someone like her would be just hanging around this area at this specific moment unless there was a r...

Chapter 214

They didn’t only just have dinner but somehow Danny’s wife, Angela managed to convince them to stay the night. As Danny had mentioned several times beforehand, she could be very convincing when she wanted to.

Not only that, but Cory didn’t seem to want to leave them either. Thus, Reinera made the executive decision to stay the night. Julius wasn’t complaining though. The stew was one of the best stews he had in a while and Angela had promised to make some of her biscuits the nex...

Chapter 213

Julius, Reinera, and Cory quickly made their way through the tunnel. 

Cory was of course the small boy they were escorting. He didn’t talk much but he also didn’t seem to be scared. He just sat in Reinera’s arms kind of blankly, not moving and not really looking at anything either, only sometimes gazing at the lights Julius created.

It kind of worried Julius. He could understand a boy who was crying or a boy who was excited, but he didn’t understand a boy who looked c...

Chapter 212

It was pretty obvious to Julius that Reinera offered the beacon to him as a sort of apology. She was most likely trying to say that he could activate it whenever he wanted to.

However, it was also pretty obvious that was not what Reinera wanted him to do. 

“You don’t want to use it still,” he asked, but it was more like a statement.

She hesitated, probably thinking about denying it, but instead, she nodded her head.

He was expecting that so it didn’t bothe...

Chapter 211

“What are you going to do?” He asked Dustin.

“I’m just going to tell them that the girl we kidnapped had a scary strong friend who wasn’t happy that we took her,” Dustin said with a devious smile.

“That’s it?” He asked.

“They will likely understand. There is always someone who is more powerful, even in a rural town like this. Look at that old man over there,” he said while pointing at the old man who was directing the children toward a small building at...

Chapter 210

Julius felt a little bit awkward. After their intense fight, or rather his intense beat down, he was now standing next to the guy like nothing had happened.

Julius learned that the guy’s name was Dustin and he was only there because of a favor for his friend.

Julius guessed that beating down a young boy grew a conscious in a person, which was the reason why Dustin was helping him now.

Although, Julius was surprised that Dustin killed the people who had tried to come invest...

Chapter 209

Julius was gassed. 

By far the biggest problem was his opponent’s physical prowess. There was just no way for Julius to keep up with the man. By the time he tried to react to his movements, he was already getting punched in the face. 

He could see it, but could only watch as the fist connected with his face.

He was just now starting to understand just how much Gabriel must have been holding back whenever they sparred. 

The other thing that really made ...

Chapter 208

The man must have seen the look in Julius’s eyes because he sighed loudly. “You’re not just going to leave are you?”

Julius shook his head calmly. “And you’re not just going to allow me to take my friend back with me?”

The man shook his head. 

“Well, it seems we have a conundrum,” Julius said softly.

“So it seems,” the man agreed with him. As he finished saying that he was slowly walking toward Julius. “My only responsibility is to protect ...

Chapter 207

Author Note: I wanted to sincerely thank every single one of you guys who sent me or wrote a nice message!

After that whole debacle, I decided to take a couple of days away from everything to reset. I was very touched by the overwhelming support I got from so many of you!

I got so many kind messages that I don't think I can personally respond to everyone, which is why I wanted to express my gratitude here.

Thank you all for being amazing and kind people, I hope I don't let ...

Chapter 206

Author Note: I am going to address the many complaints I have been getting recently. First of all, I understand your frustrations and wishes for different content during this arc.

Criticism and recommendations are more than welcome, I have had that policy ever since I started writing. However, I want to be clear on one thing.

I spend hours and hours every single day so that people can read a chapter at the same time each day. What you get on Patreon is quite literally the first dr...

Chapter 205

Sarah POV

When Elder Han said that they didn’t stand a chance, she and the others did not believe him. Although they respected the old man more than anyone else, it was hard to trust the opinion of someone who looked like they could keel over and die at any moment.

Still, when he had dismantled them so easily, it was impossible to ignore that Elder Han was right.

Thus, once they dusted themselves off they shamelessly asked for help. Even Ibram swallowed hi...
