Ep. 1277 Annoying a Dragon Part 5

"So, you agree that the planes look like they are set up to filter out different aspects of energy?"

Dragon says "If the energy is moving from the bottom to the top, then yes that makes sense. However, no one has been able to detect this energy or find anything to prove this theory. If I were you, I wouldn't waste any time thinking about this kind of thing. You have far too much that you need to get done."

"That is easy for you to say. It isn't like I intentionally think about thi...

Ep. 1276 Annoying a Dragon Part 4

"I think this is you getting your revenge. I don't have a problem with the second or third conditions, just the first one. You want me to stay out of the battlefield after telling me about it? That is just mean! You know how bad my curiosity is!"

Dragon says "Yes, I do. Which is why I know that you won't just take a quick peek at the battlefield. Your curiosity will drive you to explore it and get you killed."

"Oh, come on, I am not that bad!"

Dragon says "Yes, you are! Now,...

Ep. 1275 Annoying a Dragon Part 3

Dragon says "Collecting a set of armor is only the beginning. Once you have completed the first set, it will merge with your soul and become a part of your soul's defenses. After completing the first set, you will be considered to have a defense of level one. Then you can start collecting a second set."

"Levels of soul defense?! Wait, what level is your soul's defense at?"

Dragon says "Mine is at level eighty-seven."

"Meaning you have collected eighty-seven complete sets of ...

Ep. 1274 Annoying a Dragon Part 2

"That's fine! That is worth some effort! You know, if you had told me that originally I would have leveled up my soul faster!"

Dragon says "How was I supposed to know that it would make a difference! You are just crazy!"

"Maybe I am, but I love anime. Now, how do I build this palace thing?"

The dragon looks like he is going to eat me again, but then he just sighs and starts explaining. The process at least sounds simple and fairly straight forward, but I won't know for sure ...

Ep. 1273 Annoying a Dragon Part 1

I would rather spend my time exploring other doors in the hallway and look for new beasts. Besides, level seven soul level is pretty decent, enough that the dragon shouldn't be mad. For all I know, that might be high enough for me to take on the controller.

I really need to talk to the dragon again and find out, that will decide my course from now on. For now, I just keep running back and forth killing the same packs over and over. I only need to kill forty-two, but it is already really...

Ep. 1272 The Empire Part 6

"It's alright. I didn't even think to check the time dilation before I started my evolution. Is anyone in the castle currently? Or has anyone come looking for me?"

Jarvis says "Your kids minus Kechara are currently here. No one has come looking for you."

"Alright, thank you."

I head upstairs where I find the kids watching anime, but as soon as they spot me they swarm me. They climb all over me as they look at all the changes to my body. Only once they are satisfied do they s...

Ep. 1271 The Empire Part 5

When I finally turn my attention to my reflection I am shocked by all the changes. Practically everything about me has changed and I find it hard to focus on any one thing. Eventually, the changes to my head are what manage to drag my attention to them.

My face has narrowed and grown longer, it now looks more like a dragon's head. Although, there are still a few small hints that give it a mischievous cat-like look to it. The horn on my forehead has grown longer and there is now a smalle...

Ep. 1270 The Empire Part 4

As soon as the cores disappear, I can't help but wish I could see the look on her face. If only I had thought about it sooner, I could have asked Krenocia to go watch her reaction. It wouldn't be as good as seeing it, but I bet it would have still been entertaining.

Seronia yells "Ash!!!"

"I see you got my present."

Seronia says "You call this just a present?! This is....this is.... I don't even know what to call this!! You are absolutely insane! How did you get so many ange...

Ep. 1269 The Empire Part 3

Lizzy says "So, you are back!"

"Yes, I am. Why?"

Lizzy says "I heard you ran off without me again!"

"I snuck into a god's realm. It wasn't somewhere that I could take you."

Lizzy says "Why didn't you tell me about it?"

"Sorry, I forgot. I was arguing with Seronia and Myria. They didn't want me to go. They thought that it was too dangerous."

Lizzy says "Was it?"

"Nope. I had no problems at all and I killed hundreds of angels. It was actually really fun...

Ep. 1268 The Empire Part 2

Although, I feel that she is intelligent enough to know that she can't possibly defeat me. The best thing for her and her people would be to join the kingdom completely. I already plan to make her the minister of intelligence, as long as she doesn't betray me.

Of course, I will make sure there is another minister who will keep an eye on her. However, if she is truly as loyal as she acts, then the future for her is fairly bright. She could be a major figure in the new kingdom, which is w...

Ep. 1267 The Empire Part 1

Lin says "That sounds like a good idea. It isn't a good idea to try for too much at once. Slow and steady is a much better plan, but that usually isn't your style. Why are you being cautious?"

"Because I am worried about what will happen to the beastmen after I die. If I build a strong foundation for them, the chances of the nation surviving after me will increase. It should also make things easier for you and Myria. As my queens, it will be up to you to try and hold things together." 2024-11-29 22:20:57 +0000 UTC View Post

Ep. 1266 Another Gate Part 3

As soon as the gate connects shadow beasts come pouring out, it is as if they were waiting for it to open. Then again, if it has been opening in the same spot each time it connects, they might have been. Either way, I don't have time to watch the fight, I need to alter the enchantment.

I have to say that altering an enchantment with a battle going on around me is not easy. Just the noise of all the beasts roaring is really distracting and that is only part of it. Some of the fighting be...

Ep. 1265 Another Gate Part 2

When the connection breaks, the gate randomly locks onto another plane for a while. Then, once it has recovered some power, it attempts to connect to hell again. I am guessing that this gate is actually older than the one I destroyed, probably a prototype.

After this one turned out defective, they used what they learned from it to build the other gate. That means that they definitely have the ability to build more gates. In fact, depending on how hard it is to build, they may have alrea...

Ep. 1264 Another Gate Part 1

I manage to find a place to camp, but it ends up being a not so restful night. I had forgotten how hard the ground is to sleep on, I have gotten spoiled. Since I built the castle, I didn't bother to make myself any new camping equipment.

That was a mistake that I need to rectify just as soon as I get a chance. If I am going to run off alone on adventures, I definitely need to have camping gear. Luckily, some of the materials from the beasts should be just about perfect for that.

S...

Ep. 1263 Aftermath Part 3

"Well, whatever the reason may be, it is a good thing for us. Thank you for letting me know."

Mythica says "You are welcome. Now, if you will excuse me, I have other duties to attend to."

Mythica disappears and I feel like I have dodged a bullet, at least for now. My first thought is to run away before she can come back, but I stop myself. If anyone noticed that I left immediately, it might look a little suspicious.

Besides, even if she goes straight to Holos' domain, it wil...

Ep. 1262 Aftermath Part 2

If the demons do have massive amounts of beasts, it will increase our casualties by a lot. I am not crazy enough to think I can prevent all the casualties, but I want to reduce them as much as I can. However, it is still too early to be thinking too much about that,  I still have a ton to do.

For now, I lose myself in the excitement of battle and slaughtering my enemies. I dash from group to group as fast as I can, it helps that they come to me as well. The packs of beasts are attr...

Ep. 1261 Aftermath Part 1

"It's possible. If she does, I just hope she has no idea that it was me."

Myria says "How could she possibly know?"

"Krenocia pointed out that some of the souls who ran into the forest might have seen me. They would absolutely tell Mythica if she thinks to ask them."

Myria says "What do you plan to do then?"

"Avoid her like she has the plague. What else can I do?"

Myria says "Couldn't you just admit to it?"

"And how am I going to explain taking the cores of...

Ep. 1260 Round Two Part 5

Krenocia says "I can, but you should have sent it to my sister instead."

"Nope. She is getting around two hundred angels, you get the avatar!"

Krenocia says "Two hundred?! Please, tell me you are joking!!"

"No, I'm not joking. I don't know the exact number because I didn't actually stop to count the cores, but it should be around two hundred."

Krenocia says "I can't believe you killed that many angels! In fact, I can't believe that Holos had so many angels! Wait, does ...

Ep. 1259 Round Two Part 4

Luckily, the angels appear to have never been trained in how to fight together. They keep getting in each other's way and that prevents me from being overwhelmed. I may have bitten off a little more than I can chew, I wasn't expecting to fight all of them at once.

Still, they are having a very hard time wounding me and the wounds heal quickly. So, while it is a little painful, my life is not actually in all that much danger. As long as I don't let them pin me down, they shouldn't be abl...

Ep. 1258 Round Two Part 3

The angels are not running towards the building, just moving to get a better view. However, enough of them have moved for me to spot a gap that I run towards. I only have a few seconds, but that is enough for me to reach the wall and jump over it.

Luckily, there don't appear to be any guards on the inside of the wall and I don't hear any shouts behind me. It looks like I actually got in without being noticed, I can't believe that worked. Now that I am inside the wall, I find the palace ...

Ep. 1257 Round Two Part 2

Krenocia doesn't say anything else, she just gives me a long look and then leaves the soulscape. After closing the soulscape, I stay in meditation while I do some thinking. I run through all the pros and cons of heading back to Holos' domain.

However, I quickly conclude that the risks are minimal and the potential rewards are worth it. Knowing that Holos won't be around is the biggest factor, one I should thank Mythica for at some point. Although, that will be hard without letting her k...

Ep. 1256 Round Two Part 1

Mythica says "That is just what I was going to ask you."

"No, nothing wrong. I am simply recovering my mana before continuing my journey back to the peninsula."

Mythica says "Oh, is that all? From what I understand, normally when you appear, trouble follows."

"Well, I admit that I am often involved in serious situations, but not always. This time, I am simply traveling. I am sorry that you have wasted your time."

Mythica says "It is of no concern. I wasn't doing anythi...

Ep. 1255 The Raid Part 7

This is exactly what I was hoping for and I have a plan already prepared. I charge the lead angel and take a swing at her with my sword, but she parries it. However, that is exactly what I wanted her to do as I use my sword to launch a Lightning Wave.

Lightning Wave is normally a large cone projected from my sword, but the tunnel isn't that big. As a result, the tunnel is completely filled with lightning for a few painful seconds. The six-wing is the only one who survives the Lightning ...

Ep. 1254 The Raid Part 6

Although, that probably wouldn't be very popular with the other pantheons. Not that I really care what the other pantheons think, but the goddesses probably do. I guess I will just wait and ask them if I end up deciding to build a golem army.

For right now, I just keep grabbing ore as fast as I can until I hear wings outside. As soon as I hear that, I rush over to the door to take a peek and see what I am up against. Surprisingly, it is only a single four-wing and seven two-wings, so I ...

Ep. 1253 The Raid Part 5

While it isn't the city that I was looking for, I am still curious enough to head towards it. After all, there has to be a reason for this single anomaly in the terrain. However, to be safe I land before I reach it and approach cautiously.

As I get closer, I can see that there is a lot of activity around the mountain. When there are only a few trees left between me and the mountain I can finally see why. There is a mine or cave at the base of the mountain and lots of human souls moving ...

Ep. 1252 The Raid Part 4

Just as soon as the souls are dead, I am back in the air and flying away. I can't risk what might show up to investigate since it might be Holos himself. If he is out looking for the killer of his lieutenant, it would only make sense for him to come.

From now on, I am not going to stay in one spot for any longer than necessary. That is the only way I can think of to make sure Holos can't catch up to me. Of course, I am assuming that he can't just teleport around since he hasn't done it ...

Ep. 1251 The Raid Part 3

After waiting for about ten minutes, I finally see a group of angels approaching. There are six of them, one four-winged and the rest are just two-winged. They look around a little and then they gather around the body of the one I killed.

I wait until their attention is on the corpse and then come out from my hiding spot. I circle around until I am behind the four-wing and then I charge at them. The four-wing is the only one that could possibly hurt me, so I take it out first and then t...

Ep. 1250 The Raid Part 2

Myria says "I hope so. Well, since I can't talk you out of it, I guess I will just say good luck. However, don't think you are getting away with something, I will be telling Lin about this."

"I figured you would. Don't worry, I will be back soon."

As soon as I am done speaking to Myria, I pray to Krenocia before anything else can happen. As soon as I start praying, I feel a force grab me and pull me to somewhere else. When I look around, I find myself on the shore of a dark and di...

Ep. 1249 The Raid Part 1

Krenocia gives me a kiss in response, leaves, and then I end the soulscape. Next, I track down Leonarr to get a report on the current situation. Surprisingly nothing has changed, the situation is still under control, for now.

However, before I pray to Krenocia, I use my medallion to contact Myria. If I do something crazy like this without telling her I am going to end up in a world of trouble. Then again, I will still probably get in trouble, I just won't be accused of running away.

Ep. 1248 Betrayer Part 7

"That is actually my goal. Although, I have no idea if I am on the right path or not. I really wish I could find the time to go drake hunting. That way, I could add more dragon to my evolution and increase my chances."

Krenocia says "Why doesn't that surprise me? Where would you even go to hunt drakes?"

"The land bridge."

Seronia says "What makes you think there are any drakes there?"

"Just a hunch. I once killed a drake that seemed like it had been chased out of the l...
