The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 313: The Great Escape

Oscar ran ahead to rejoin the battle. Piles and mounds of algae, grass, and branches littered the sacrificial chamber, the fallen remains of many Grovekeepers. In the center, near the stone altar, Serena and the others were fighting and holding on. Seeing their tired faces, Oscar felt the outlook of the current battle was bad.

Entering the state of Adamasreis, his muscles flexed and tightened under his clothes. He formed Silver Lances around his fists, using ordinary Ein, not Eirin. The...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 312: Fight For Freedom

The last thing Serena remembered was Oscar's voice shouting for her to take cover and the bloated hydra exploding. A mix of flames and bubbles filled her vision until a sudden silence and darkness. Then, out of nowhere, she heard something snap, followed by more snaps.

"Ernest?" Serena mumbled the name of her gardener. Everything Ernest cut and pruned plants in the garden, a similar snap would come out. Agitated, Serena groaned and grumbled. Ernest couldn't be here in Ashen Grove. Was s...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 311: The Undergrotto

After a brief break to restore his Ein, Oscar knelt to observe the tracks. The one in the middle that split the wet sand into two sections was sure to be Serena. This boded well. A good chance Serena survived the explosion and was brought here. His relief turned to caution, and Oscar frowned at the other sets of tracks.

'Webbed feet?' Distinct linings connected the tips of the distinct footprints. The tracks were unlike anything he had seen before. Bundles of algae were scatter...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 310: The Lotus Hydra

The waters of the lake were disturbed by waves and ripples of foam from the rise of the nine-headed lotus hydra. Its low roars from the beautiful flowery heads rang through Oscar's body, and involuntary shivers sprang across his skin. He let out a fearless smile, but a drop of sweat ran down his chin.

Under the view of his Prinstyct, a large shadowy fog was obscuring the glimmers of intent, not allowing a single light to pierce through. Straining himself a little more, Oscar began to se...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 309: The Lotus Lake

Ashen Grove was a realm of vast forests, swamps, lakes, and jungles. The air was thick and humid from the vast amounts of trees and flora of every kind on the ground. Everywhere, insects buzzed and chirped as Exalt Beasts of many different species lurked and rested under the cool cover of the leaves.

Oscar ran across the muddy ground, broke several strong blades of grass, and smelled the musk air. The sunlight poked through, reflecting off the wet leaves above to become a scattering of ...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 308: The Busy Night

The absence of pain was strange. Oscar placed the inhibitor back into his ear and pulled it out again. Again, no pain, no discomfort, not even a drop of sweat anywhere on his light, healthy skin. To be sure, he cleaned out the inside of his ear with his pinky and could only stare at the inhibitor, confused.

The pain that had accompanied him for several years, the pain Elder Saul and his master, Draven, could not figure out other than a vague notion it was something with his mind, the pa...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 307: Demon, I Am You

Within the Blue Ocean Pavilion's base in the middle region, Oscar slept soundly in a tent. His soft snores came out like clockwork in rhythms, and his eyes remained shut, unable to be roused by the loud clamors and noise from outside until…a twitch. His left eye twitched, and Oscar furrowed his brow even in a deep sleep.

He opened his eyes, not to the tent's white tarp or did he feel the softness of the mattress. A cold black floor sent shivers down his spine, and an endless void gree...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 306: The True Power of Eirin

After a long day of fighting, the large blazing sun waned, and the dim twilight before night covered the desert. Oscar's figure, wrapped in the continuous stream of Eirin spheres, with his strange Eirin antlers protruding from his head, looked closer to an ethereal being rather than a human, a spirit whose eyes gleamed like the moon in the night.

When he was almost finished fighting against his demon in the realm of thoughts, Oscar was struck by a thought, an idea. What if he used his A...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 305: Rises And Falls

"What are Frederick's chances?" Serena leaned close to Oscar with a solemn look. The deadly battle with George and the bowman had shaken her, and she felt the pressure mounting. Oscar's presence provided comfort and security to wash away her worries.

"He's gotten stronger since entering Ashen Grove," Emily answered from the side. She fixated on Frederick's figure on the screen, and the battle was already underway. Frederick's winds blew fiercely against the opponent's darkness.

"H...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 304: The Harsh First Battle

Of the eight people on the Blue Ocean Pavilion's side, there were Oscar, Emily, Frederick, Serena, Rachel, George, a man named Hillman, and another named Dale. The timer of Ein started to tick down, and ten minutes were provided to decide who would fight in the first battle for five Golddew Figs.

The words above said, "This team will choose first."

"Who wants to go first?" Hillman pointed at himself. "I have a Grade Five Exolsia and am twenty-two years old."

Following Hillma...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 303: The Battle for the Golddew Figs

The cactus tree had an extraordinary height, extending far into the blue sky. The very top looked to stab right into the large rising sun as many rays of sunlight fluttered and bounced off its long shiny spikes. Not a single part of its large green body lacked a spiky protrusion so sharp that it could easily stab a Great Sharaka.

The large shadow that the cactus tree cast upon the golden desert offered much-needed comfort and relief from the oppressive sun, and the smell of a sweet and ...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 302: The New Spell

The metal plate was lackluster, a worn and slightly rusted object contrasting against the clean metal surfaces of the chamber and the block it was placed on, but a strange presence surrounded the plate. The metal plate was special; there was no doubt about that.

Oscar slowly reached out his hand but then paused as his eyes narrowed in thought. He retracted his hand, reigned in his desire, and smiled at Gol-4.

"Can you check it first to see if there's anything wrong with it?"

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 301: Eirin

Oscar groaned. His skin burned from the heated sparks between the streams of Reis and Ein as the two powers combined. He heard the thumping of his heart grow louder and faster until it silenced; the heartbeat became so fast he could not discern a single beat from the rest.

"You idiot, you damned idiot," Oscar spoke harshly. Although it was only a copy and not his true demon state, he laid his grievances to it. "No wonder I couldn't use Reis and Ein after you fought Orden."

The sta...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 300: The Perfect Master

Oscar wondered how many times he had died against Demon Oscar. He fought his wayward copy multiple times. After each loss which only took less than a minute, he immediately returned to the realm of thoughts to start anew.

Three hours later.

Oscar fought over a hundred times. A lesser or weaker Exalt would have lost their minds and broken down by now, but Oscar was none of that. Forged by Draven's agonizing training and tempered by the illusion of Oen Fortress, Oscar remained stead...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 299: Against The Demon

Unexpectedly, instead of creating a copy of Oscar as he was now, the realm of thoughts delved deep into his mind and pulled out his unconscious being, the demon state that overwhelmed Orden. This monstrous version of Oscar, Demon Oscar, stared at the original with a cold gaze and summoned a blue deer anima.

The realm of thoughts replicated everything, from weapons to anima. Demon Oscar fastened the red Invicus Bulwark on his forearm and held a boxing stance with two fists clenched.

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 298: Test Of Metal

"Test of the Elements?" Oscar murmured. His red bulwark lifted, and he strode around the metal room with his deer anima. The hooves clanked and scraped across the metal-plated ground as they traveled to a metal podium in the center of the room.

On top of the podium was a large arrow that moved slowly around like a clock's hands. Oscar reached out to grab it, but his strength was too weak to stop and tear it off, and it continued rotating as though his hand did not exist. He clenched his...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 297: The Hidden Chamber

The bright lightning blade pierced through the air, and Oscar leaped atop his deer anima, landing and running across the shaft of the polearm. Though the lightning was mainly concentrated on its tip, parts coursed through the pole. Oscar was unbothered by this as his deer anima continued to run with the electricity crackling around its metallic hooves.

The air was a torrent of lightning and wind, but Oscar maintained his 'Silver Sheen' to protect himself from the elements.

Suddenl...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 296: The Bronze Ape

"Identified three Exalts of Middle Elite Exalt realms, powering to match the power of the group." The bronze ape warrior struck the sandy ground with its lightning-charged polearm and slowly cut across to the other end. A burst of crackling heat melted and turned the golden sand into a molten stream.

It twirled its polearm around, spraying the molten sand everywhere in a rain of fire.

Emily stepped forward and spread her Ein, transforming it into a large stone wall arched over the...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 295: The Pathway's End

Oscar's deer anima charged into the mass of ants. Its metal antlers rang clear against the ants' hard carapaces, but with a forceful grunt, the deer anima forced the ants away with sheer power. The ants gave way, and Oscar trampled his way over to his friends.

He stabbed many with his silver lance, leaving gaping holes in many of the ants' bodies, and swung his bulwark with all the might of his current self. With the boost in his Adamasreis from 85 percent to 88 percent, his arms held m...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 294: The Entrapment

The large sun blazed down on Oscar and Gol-4. Oscar got off his deer anima, unsummoned it, and walked slowly around the vicinity.

Forward, backward, and sideways Oscar paced while keeping his eyes on the bodies of the Great Sharakas, which were becoming more and more hidden behind the sands. But no matter what he tried, he always reached a point where he could not get any farther.

"The Sharakas must have swam very far, but where did I end up?" Oscar got tired after an hour of runn...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 293: Mystery of the Desert

Bam! The sound echoed from within the giant corpse of the Great Sharaka from behind its clenched jaw of innumerable teeth. It repeated, followed by the sounds of glass shattering until cracks spread across the hard surfaces of the sharp teeth. Finally, a silver lance protruded out, shattering the teeth around it to give room for a figure clothed in black with a black helmet.

Oscar walked out of his newly made passage and out into the landscape of golden sand under a blazing sun. He held...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 292: Great Sharkara Assault

Three sharp armored fins torpedoed toward Oscar, and the sands parted away in great tides, scattering to obscure his vision like Orden's sandstorms. Not wanting to become shark food, Oscar leaped up high, but again, the sharks responded with large splashes out of the sand. Their large bodies impossibly exited the sands down to the ends of their tailfins, whipping freely in the air.

The three sharks surrounded Oscar as they descended back down to the ground. He winced slightly at the sig...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 291: The Trial of the Fig Tree

"Os, is that her?" Frederick leaned toward Oscar. He couldn't help but take quick glances at Maia's beautiful features but grunted in pain from Emily gripping his shoulders tightly.

"Yup, that's her. Maia Claude." Oscar stared into the fuming Maia's bloodshot eyes, and her Ein turned into flames that shot out but were repelled by the barrier. With a smile, he put up a fist and placed it against his left cheek, an obvious taunt to remind her about their previous encounter.

The taun...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 290: Golddew Fig Tree

"I didn't expect that," Oscar said, his voice carried by the passing winds.

"Expect what?" Serena asked, her wavy red hair floating about with the breeze. The flowery scent from her freshly washed hair wafted close by.

After Mary told Oscar about the whereabouts of Frederick and Emily, he rushed out in a hurry after a hasty farewell. Even though she had just returned from another outing, Serena joined him, and the two sprinted westward toward the Golddew Fig Tree.

"Even thou...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 289: The Middle Region

The roar of a beast swayed the branches and leaves of the old evergreens of Ashen Grove, rippling through the air. The full might of a Lower Elite Exalt Beast, yet Oscar stood undisturbed and even looked bored. As the beast slashed with its large claws, Oscar saw through it all and dodged.

His Prinstyct caught all of its movements, having been upgraded further by the advancement. One could train their Prinstyct, but the biggest boon was always the advancement that enhanced every spec of...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 288: The Middle Elite Exalt

"The two Nydil Seeds contain enough Ein for you to advance into Middle Elite Exalt realm, but be careful not to overdraw. Condense and contain the rampaging Ein, or else your Ein will be chaotic and hollow." Gol-4 warned.

Oscar fiddled around with the seeds in his hand. "I know. I went through a similar process in the past."

The seeds looked very enticing to Oscar, the temptations whispering in his mind, but he had to stay levelheaded, or else even if he advanced to the Middle Eli...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 287: The Unexpected Help

"The enemy?!" The man, dressed in the Earth Core Academy's uniform, lifted his glasses, not hiding the displeasure and hostility towards Oscar and the others. He waved his hand, and the others closed in to surround Oscar, not allowing a single gap for them to escape. "Why are they alive, Orden? Since they are the enemy, you should have killed them by now with your strength. Or are they your hostages?"

Oscar frowned upon hearing the chill in the other person's voice, a grating voice that...

The Exalt - Act 1: Blue Ocean Pavilion - Chapter 286: Nydil Seeds

Reaching the point of advancement was always a delight for any Exalt, and Oscar was no exception. The excitement made his body shiver, or perhaps it was due to the weak condition of his muscles from yesterday's ordeal. Either way, he was beyond ecstatic.

'I'm finally here!' Oscar nearly teared up. It had taken him a while to reach this point from when he first became a Lower Elite Exalt. At last, he could join the others in the middle region of Ashen Grove. 'I wonder how Fr...
