Chapter 156 Electric bogaloo
Trevor had done exactly as he promised. He had left the building nearly exactly half an hour after their talk had ended and walked towards the northern gate of Riverwatch. Ilea and Kyrian followed above the roofs and soon enough found that they werent the only ones. Two people followed Trevor as well but they were following on the ground and in the shadows. Ilea had spotted them through her Sphere and pointed them ou...

Chapter 155 A Night of Investigation
You want her to get kidnapped basically? the man asked, nearly with a hiss.
Dear its alright, we dont really have a choice. the woman said but Ilea interjected.
I will leave a bit of food with you one way or the other. You do have a choice but we dont have all the time in the world. Shell go out, get kidnapped hopefully and well see where we go from there. Her safety is guarantee...

Chapter 154 How much we grow
Ive never fought them really. Ilea said as she got up again from her crouched position.
Theyre nasty, evil and breed like nothing else Ive seen. Good thing the usual monsters around here tear them to shreds. As do we. Dale said and sighed before he leaned on the wall of the underground cellar. Looking around, Ilea realized it mustve once been a crypt.
I guess they are, caught you unawares ...

Hey everybody. I hope you are all doing well. Christmas is going to be stressful but hey, at least there's no work. I hope I can find time to write in between to not leave you all hanging. Next Friday is the planned release for now, I'll let you know if anything changes.
Now to the part like two people care about. Thank you. Thank you all for being here and for supporting me for writing. It still sounds surreal to me that I actually make money from this. You all enable me to create some...

Chapter 153 Friends
Ilea walked two steps before Walter showed up, black eyes staring into them as magic pulsed around him. Metal swirled around Kyrian as magic gathered around Weavy as well. Ilea stepped closer to Walter and held up her hands as she smiled.
Walter man, its me. she said.
Demon. the man grumbled and looked between Weavy and Ilea.
Ah yes him, hes alright dont worry. Quite unlike the fucker we took o...

Chapter 152 An Inn and a Boy
It took another half hour to find a road in the forest, a small one that didnt look to be in the best shape. Winter had recently passed which made it understandable but as little as Ilea understood of wagons, none would pass this road without a lot of difficulty. They followed the road for a while and came across a village soon after.
Ilea landed and summoned a hood. Looking towards the others, Weavy put up his...

Chapter 151 I did this before but #traveling
Eve suppressed her cough, focusing her eyes on the mage before her as the cocoon of thorns and roots opened up. The scene of a terrified girl, her hands clutched on the daggers handle stuck in her head, opened before her. A moment later a cloud of pink mist exploded outwards and Eve ran. She ran for her life with all the energy she had left until she reached the very wall of the cave, crouching down a...

Hey guys, two today. Let me know what you think. Not as much action in these than the previous weeks. Next chapters Friday in a week.
I've had a pretty stressful week at work and still need to finish something tomorrow, wish me luck on that if you have any left!
Hope you have a nice weekend everybody!

Chapter 150 Politics, meh.
The cleanup of Viscera will fall onto our tasks. Sulivhaan said as he wrote down the terms on the paper before him.
Agreed. The requested purchases in the city should be fine, though we will have to request permission to accept. one of the officers said.
That is all for now? another officer asked before yawning. The negotiations had taken hours already and they were barely through with the immedia...

Chapter 149 Reminiscing and Planning
Sadly nothing big had seemed to have happened to the city or the field. Ilea returned and joined the working people outside Ravenhall. Several holes with burning corpses were spread around the country side and the imperial company had joined the cleanup. Ilea overheard someone grumbling about priests and blessing the city and the field.
She tried to continue her ash training but found the process of movin...

Hey everyone, hope you've had a good week. Christmas is moving closer as all you satan worshippers are preparing the sacrifices and you good church going christians are preparing your defensive fields of colorful light defenses.
There is still no snow, which is sad. I hope you enjoy the new chapters, let me know what you think. Next ones coming in a week, Friday.
Have a relaxing and nice weekend everyone and thank you for the continued support. I really appreciate it. Improvements...

Chapter 148 Bearded Follower
Claire just didnt expect the nobles hunters to actually follow and confront her. They must either be desperate, under some kind of spell or extremely well paid. None of them were above her level, the closest one being at one eighty. Still with the six of them standing around the shield and her mother within, it would be a difficult fight. The explosion she had sent upwards was meant for the imperials but none of th...

Chapter 147 Chaos is a laddah
Checking around the wall, she found that nobody was looking towards her as she crouched down and summoned one of Keylas meals. She still had a bunch of them in store but shed have to go back to Virilya to get more at some point. A horn sounded in the distance, not from within the city. Ilea put a fork of food into her mouth as she looked towards the sound, seeing a rider climb over a hill. Following behind were a ...

Chapter 146 Night Shift
The night was bright, the moon shining down onto Vilirya as Eve ran across dirty rooftops towards her destination. She had made some progress in her search for the so called Golden Lily. The organization she thought to be behind a lot of smaller gangs and corrupt government in at least the empire and maybe even beyond.
To destroy the problem at the root was what she believed in. If she could find and kill a single hig...

ETA next Friday. I'm gonna take back the thing I said about Thursday last week. It just kinda happened that I started posting on Thursday. It's much easier for me to do so on Friday generally. But hey, it changes every other week anyway. Let me know if you mind.

Chapter 145 Horde mode is exhausting
The crystal mage was a little confused when her savior and the others suddenly left but her indecisiveness cost her the opportunity to continue with the group as she moved back and forth until they were too far away.
Ilea had Weavy on her back as the three rushed towards the elevator too fast for the demon to keep up otherwise. Are you getting more bulky Weavy? Ilea asked, feeling his arms as she held him on...

Chapter 144 Lakes and Crystals
Any more help needed? Ilea asked after she landed near the healers. Only six had remained.
Were fine, seems like people have become comfortable with fighting the monsters. Leave the rest to us. one of them said as the woman Ilea had rescued flew over towards the group of resting fighters. She too followed and took a couple minutes to gain back her full mana. She watched as the woman talked to some of the peo...

Chapter 143 Bloody Entrails
Perhaps it wasnt quite an impossibility to beat it and maybe not a lot more people had to die to accomplish it. Ilea pushed on deeper and deeper into the beast before she felt mana gather again, this time much closer than before. She quickly found the best cover she could found and cut into the flesh to keep herself more steady. The sound shattered her freshly healed eardrums immediately, as her whole body shook from the vib...

Hey guys and gals, new chapters are up.
I usually write for the next week on the weekend but I barely managed the second one today. Next week Friday, hopefully in two weeks we're back to Thursday release.
Hope you're doing alright. Thank you all for the continued support :). As always let me know about any possible improvements and issues you have with the writing or the story.
Have a nice rest of the weekend everyone!

Chapter 142 It's just a Fleshwound
The five seconds passed as if in slow motion, Ileas organs and tendons healing at a fast pace, the injuries less severe than she had previously though. The world was frozen, all the beings who heard the monsters scream stood unmoving as with the complete lack of sound the fissure in the air vanished. The massive squid like monster was parted as its noises turned from anger to pain, tentacle like extensions flailing ...

Chapter 141 Green, the not so stupid demon
A surge of ash spread around her as the demons tried to get through her armor, scratching at the metal with their savage claws. Ilea used each impact to send a destructive Wave of Ember through the attackers combined with Destruction and reversed Reconstruction. The damage was enough to give her a minuscule time frame where none of them touched her, letting her blink away. The mind weaver was dead and her task w...

Hey all.
First of all new chapters out. Changes to POVs in general and the changes between them (I'll mark them better so that mobile readers won't have the issue of paragraphs not showing up).
The two chapters were mostly written before last week's feedback but I'll definitely take into consideration what you have said. Thank you all for the feedback (but do you not have phones???). Seriously though, thanks. I do hope I can improve the quality of my writing as time goe...

Chapter 140 Infected City
Eve knew the woman and trusted her. The owner that was, not the informant in front of her. Trusting an informer was not something one did. You simply entrusted them with only the information that you were sure wouldn't cost you dearly. And some risks had to be taken. In dungeons as much as here.
It's me, yes. Empty today, is there a tournament or is everyone shitting their pants about the demon invasion. Eve answered, ...

Chapter 139 Flying in the Dark
Ilea appeared before them and crushed a head, the bone and flesh exploding like a watermelon shot by a ballista, her arms covered by the black obsidian gauntlets as she breathed out and turned. A sea of claws was before her, Ilea blinking upwards as ten demons struggled against each other in the small space to get to the human, shredded through a moment later by a multitude of metal spikes, organs and brains destroyed befor...

Hey all
First of all, new chapters are out. Thank you for the feedback regarding the excessive PoV changes. For those disliking them, they're in up to at least chapter 139 (next week) but I'll definitely take it to heart and try to use them only for story line setups / Prologue or small parts to give a different view. I got carried away with some of the thought to be small parts and they got several chapters long in the end.
I appreciate the feedback as always. Do let m...

Chapter 138 Upgrade - Cave to Sewers
Bunch of idiots... Claire whispered to herself, very glad that the outlaws had decided to attack her on the tower. Hopefully not too many of the guards had been killed before. Having all their rogues spread in the city with the sleeping and tired defenders would have been the end of Vihal. She didn't know if this was the w...

Second one and this one is Claire only. I definitely go a little carried away with the PoV changes. Do bear with me and let me know what you think of it.
Chapter 137 The Storm after the Storm
The sun rose slowly over the town of Vihal, illuminating the carnage left behind by a night's worth of gruesome warfare. Corpses littered the ground, both human and demon. Eyes open in fear, anger and sheer ferocity, lifeless and in parts already in...

Hey guys and gals, back from my "vacation". Thank you for the feedback regarding the PoV changes. I originally intended them to be tools to set up story arcs and meetings with Ilea later on but they might've expanded into more as I wrote and wrote.
I will continue to sometimes do them as I believe they're good tools to set up new things but I'll cut down on the amount while focusing more on Ilea. I have a couple chapters written so for the next 2-4 chapters this won't yet be applied.

Hey, got an evening off, nice.
More chapters next Saturday.
I'll delete the reuploads then as well and change the tiers again.
There was criticism regarding the pov changes and the time spent with characters other than Ilea. How do you feel about it, is it an issue/boring or does it add to the world building?
Mild spoilers below for 4$/2$ Patrons and probably in the comments, so be aware.
Please consider that these Pov changes are not planne...

Chapter 135 Roguey Rogues Doing Rogue Stuff
How does it look? Sulivhaan asked, Navailis having arrived just a moment ago. One of the most central pubs in Morhill had been chosen by the squad leader to use as their base. The square in front had been prepared by Rock. Barricades blocked all the entrance streets to the square, the pub only easily accessible by air or by climbing over everything.
As soon as they had any earth mages around, the defe...
