Chapter 227 - Do Not Intervene
This fight became a learning moment for both me and my opponent. Though I would wish to be the only one here improving, that would be an unrealistic expectation. Also despite the bitter aftertaste it left, it revealed my opponent's surprising ability to think independently.
Engaging in mid-air combat against someone who could manipulate wind made it abundantly clear how bad that choice was. I sensed a colossal wind blade hurtling tow...

Chapter 40 - Athens
Thankfully, the rest of the journey was relatively safe. After a while, the smell of salt and the brittle wind had become kind of annoying.
When the journey finally came to an end, I saw a city that seemed to be straight out of a storybook. Countless buildings sprawled around a small mountain, all surrounded by a thick, tall wall. Yet, what stood out most was a temple situated at the mountain's peak, with a statue of a warrior woman wielding a ...

Chapter 39 - Divine?
On the horizon, enormous tentacles, like behemoth serpents of the deep, surged out of the churning waters.
What the fuck is that?!
The source of the tentacles remained veiled beneath the waves, its form shrouded in an enigmatic haze. Yet, even without the sight of its full body, the sheer magnitude of its appendages alone caused the entire sea to quiver in its wake.
Each tentacle stretched forth with a jaw-dropping girth, akin to t...

Chapter 226 - Twin Experiments
As we walked through the ruins, I noticed the sharp black nails that I had thanks to fusing with Carpy. Curious, I pressed the nails into one of the broken skyscraper walls, it easily pierced through, and found myself crawling up the structure like Spiderman. The tingling sensation in my fingers intensified as I supported my body weight, aided by a touch of Ord.
It took a couple of dozen minutes before I finally reached the top, and ...

Chapter 225 - Ruins With a Message
Zumi held her breath, not daring to blink as she watched the intense fight unfold before her. She couldn't afford to miss this kind of battle, knowing that she could learn valuable lessons from observing such skilled combatants clash. Every cell in her body hungered for growth and strength. As an Exorcist, she understood the obligation to keep pushing forward and evolving – an instinct even more potent than the drive to procreate.

The silver-haired, handsome man simply stared at her, and although she couldn't sense any Ord from him, she ripped off her coat's sleeves, revealing her toned arms and causing her Ord to skyrocket once again.
However, he didn’t look intimidated by her, and for a second Zumi felt something and her Ord retreated. She had no idea what this feeling was, but her instincts were telling her that fighting this man would be a f...

Once on the boat, a young woman approached me. She glanced around to ensure no one was eavesdropping and then said, "You didn't need to intervene. I would have dealt with them myself."
"Well, that's a strange way to say thank you and introduce yourself," I replied, raising a questioning brow.
She frowned but eventually nodded, extending her hand. "My name is Theria, and I don't have to say thank you since I already helped ...

"Why do you look like a weird demon thing? Also, can you shoot beams out of your horn?" asked the Strength Exorcist as we continued exploring the island.
I was still in my fused form with Carpy, and the strange exorcist, who hadn't bothered to create a special ability, pointed at my horn. No matter what he said, I considered it an elegant and cool horn.
Was I salty because he indirectly insulted Carpy? Hell yeah, I was! Carpy meant...

Chapter 37 - The Captivating Stranger
After leaving Herakles' farm and approaching Tiryns City, the first thing I did was run in a low position, attempting to avoid the patrolling guards. There were several of them around, but I utilized transmutation to create a grass armor, allowing me to approach a blind spot in the wall unnoticed. With another use of transmutation, I fashioned an opening and entered the area without much difficulty.
Relieved, I held my breath ...

When one thinks of Herakles from mythology, many would assume he was the greatest hero in Greek mythology, possessing both brawn and skill. He was skilled in using various weapons, such as the bow, sword, and club.
However, the current Herakles I was dealing with only had a rudimentary knowledge of wrestling. Until he went to train with Chiron, he would possess only raw strength and lack refined skills. He was far from the monstrously strong c...

With labored breaths and aching muscles, Gem's trembling body, consumed by exhaustion, stumbled upon a narrow ravine. The jagged walls and the eerie echo of howling winds transformed the ravine into a concealed sanctuary amidst the desolate wilderness. Seeking refuge from the harsh elements, Gem's weary eyes caught sight of a small cave nestled within the depths of the ravine.
The place offered a temporary respite from the biting cold th...

The large island trembled, causing me to wince. Reacting quickly, I drew water from the surrounding trees, creating a barrier to shield us from the aftershock.

However, my concern wasn't focused on how the strange creature managed to block the attack. I was more worried about the attention this commotion would attract...

However, there was nothing in sight except for a small wooden tent and a fire where a tall, muscular young person sat, cooking lizards. Herakles glanced at me and greeted me with a small smile. "Yo...

Upon docking our ship, we disembarked, leaving behind a select group of individuals—primarily those with abilities suited for defending the vessel.

I clapped my hands, which helped me control my Ord, and I spewed out a large glob of water that wrapped around the ship. With a forceful tug, I made the ship sink underwater and formed a bubble around it. Additionally, I dragged Agon and Anika underwater too, as they weren't in the ship.
The blast was going to be too big for something like Sei's mirrors to cover!

I jumped up and landed on the shark, but my leg immediately slipped as the demon's skin was oily. I nearly face-planted onto its meaty flesh, despite still being under the effect of Perfect Me. Even in that state, I could smell the nauseating stench emanating from the rotting shark.
As I got closer, it became apparent that the shark's skin was bloated, resembling a long-dead corpse that refused to decompose. Towering over twenty stories ...

A couple of days passed on the boat without any significant incidents. Carpy, ever vigilant, took care of any demons that dared approach from underwater. As a result, we didn't have to engage in many fights, and I had to admit, these were the best couple of days I had experienced in a while.
At present, we found ourselves in an empty saloon on the ship. Taking advantage of my position as one of the leaders, I had cleared out the area, a...

What rank did I want? It didn't really matter. The Special Exorcist system was outdated, still in place only because the first generation of special exorcists were friends of the current Saint.

Awakening Wisteria's Ord was a risky move, particularly in a place like this. It felt like I would be going against a lot of people’s wishes. It was as if I was spitting on their faces, and hoping for them to not lash out.
Moreover, it would estrange many Exorcist Clans in the Sun Kingdom, especially the Kuro and Raion Clans. Since this step was taken, there was no chance of mending our relationship. However, Wis had disclosed that th...

Taking a deep breath, I calmed down my emotions and forced a smile onto my face. "Thanks for your time," I replied politely.
