Xavier soared straight for the C Grade Infected Rock Worm. The bounds of the time dilation field were small, and right now The Nightmare was preventing Xavier from changing that in any way.
But that might just work to his benefit. The Infected Rock Worm was far larger than Xavier. Within the confines of the time bubble, it had far less room to move.
And there was something else that would work to his advantage, too—the rocks that the Infected Rock Worm hurtled at him suddenly st...

Xavier stared at the title he’d just received. Only a moment ago, he’d successfully used Body Cultivation to strike mid-air—and he hadn’t lost any limbs doing it—gaining him Rank 40 in the spell.

Xavier stared at the stump where his right hand used to be. The Lost Bone of a Dead God, the soul bound weapon that he had, was sitting beside him in its scythe-staff form. He was glad he hadn’t been using it in its unarmed configuration. It would have likely been melted beyond repair.
His hand, however, appeared to be growing back.
Once Xavier’s hand had melted to nothing, the energies that he’d pooled there had finally dissipated into the air, and left… a cauter...

Xavier sat cross legged on the ground as great energies flooded into him. No notification appeared to tell him what the spell he’d just cast did, though he had plenty of spells that lacked notifications on casting.
Xavier had cultivated energies into himself before—a great many times—but it had never felt quite like this.

The spirit that Xavier had summoned through Otherworldly Communion to see what new spell he needed to gain—what new path of power he needed to walk—had just disappeared.
Xavier hovered inside of his time bubble above the battlefield on the side of the Dark Mountains, four C Grade Infected Rock Worms were below him, as well as hundreds—perhaps thousands—of infected D Grade beasts. Volkarin, summoned as the Spirit of Vengeance, hovered nearby, also frozen in time.

Xavier surveyed the battlefield. Not for the first time since he’d started the fight against The Nightmare, he felt fear. Fear that he wouldn’t be strong enough to succeed.
No, he told himself. ...

Xavier stood in the middle of what had once been a safe spot on a plain on the side of the Dark Mountains. Less than a second ago, his time dilation field had covered the area, protecting him and the spirits he had summoned from the Otherworld.
Now, that field was gone, and The Nightmare was sending the full force of its might toward him.
Xavier was no longer connected to The Nightmare’s mind. He had combed the mountain, destroying at least half of the C Grade demon’s minions,...

Xavier hovered high in the air above the Dark Mountains. The thought repeated itself in his mind, and he knew exactly where it came from.
Resist us no longer. We can give you peace.
The Nightmare was communicating with him—trying to take control of him.
Xavier swallowed. He had felt other people and spirits speak to him through thoughts in the past, but nothing had ever sounded like this. He couldn’t even begin to imagine how he might describe the voice.

Xavier stood at the edge of his time dilation field. The corpse of an Infected Alpha Wolven was at his back. Parts of his skin were black where The Nightmare had tried to infect him.
At his feet, a bubble of black ooze crawled toward him. It followed him—and it was under his control.
Xavier pushed the time dilation field forward until it consumed one of the wolven in front of him. A moment ago, the wolven had been frozen in time. Now, it bounded toward him, lips pulled back in t...

Xavier soared toward the Dark Mountains that was The Nightmare’s domain.
From what he had learnt about the C Grade entity, the beast was… a demon. Something that controlled the minds of all those in its territory. Every beast. Every tree. It infected all of them, much like the Fetid Forest Troll infected the forest that it had once called home, but this demon… it was far more sinister than that troll had been.
Xavier landed at the foot of the Dark Mountains. He withdrew some...

“That’s how you watch people out there, isn’t it? That’s how you throw your sight?”

Several months passed on the hundredth floor of the Tower of Champions. And those weren’t months that he spent trapped within one of his time dilation fields. There was only so much training that he could do while stuck inside one of those, especially when they stopped his spells from cooling down.

Portal has taken a step forward on the path!
Portal is now a Rank 76 spell.

Xavier grinned. He hadn’t expected to gain a rank up during this fight, but he was glad for it. He’d been straining to place two of the five portals he’d just created in the perfect spot, putting more focus on being precise than he ever had before.
And it looks like that effort had paid o...

Xavier grinned.
He’d just cast his Portal spell, and was testing it out. The portal he’d created was smaller than he’d expected. He hadn’t held an intention in his mind—something the spirit he’d summoned with Otherworldly Communion had told him he would need to do if he wished to affect the size and shape of the portal.
He had wanted to see what the spell would look like if he cast it naturally, without trying to alter it.
The portal he’d created was wider than...

Xavier released a breath as he looked around at the six dryad corpses littering the ground of the clearing. He inhaled the fresh scent of blood. Something inside of him stirred, as it often did when he smelled blood.
When he had been E Grade and had assimilated a great deal of beast properties into his body, it had given him a bloodlust he’d never before experienced, one that made him want to drink the blood of his fallen enemies. Something had changed within him, turning him more bea...

The rot that had infected every inch of this part of the forest was now gone. The trees were no longer oozing black liquid, the colour of the plants returned to greens and reds and purples. Even th...

Another strange thing to wrap his head around.
