Chapter 309: Killing Sprees and To-Do Lists
Thalion was stressed out. Flying at such high speeds between massive tree trunks had frayed his nerves. This was definitely something he would need to train for in the future. It was impressive to see how dangerous the eagle form could be, but having a near-death experience every few meters was far from pleasant. That was why he decided to switch forms. It wouldn’t hurt to get some combat experience in another shape anyway.
Lee was already off, gathering the injured survivors and dra...
Chapter 308: Winged Problem Solver
Lyara was on an emotional rollercoaster. She had been part of Kael’s camp since the third stage, but things changed when they lost to the vampires. That was the first time she truly realized how cruel Kael actually was. He had triggered the teleportation far too early, which caused many people, who had already earned a large number of credits from killing undead beasts, to die needlessly, their bodies fed to the vampires. From that moment on, she didn’t like Kael at all, and her disdain f...

The alchemists gave Thalion a wild look when he dropped the corpse of the leviathan right on their doorstep and told them to figure out the runes, write them all down, and hand him the results later. Thalion kept one tentacle in his spatial ring, just in case the alchemists messed something up. The head alchemist made it clear this would be a group project, with over twenty alchemists working hard on the leviathan. Those runes could be advantageous for every survivor with water abilities, and...

After a quick talk with the others, Jack and Josh decided to go on more rescue missions, maybe even some elf hunting. Kadrek and Maike spread the word that the elfs were out for blood and soon larger hunting parties formed, with more people heading out to save weaker humans. Some didn’t want to join and went their own way, but if anyone needed help, they’d get it.
Thalion quickly returned to Lucan’s smithy to continue testing and crafting. His sword and armor would definitely tak...
Chapter 305: Trust Issues: Now Available in Elf Flavor
Thalion made his way to the wall, wearing a red tunic while his armor rested safely inside his spatial ring. No one needed to see the unfinished design. If the elves tried anything, he could always use the crippled Eclipsari form.
Lucan stayed behind, still working on the runes for Thalion’s armor. Thalion was pleased with how quickly they had progressed. It was a lot faster, in retrospect, than he’d thought possible. Probably because he had thrown himself completely into his work,...
Chapter 304: The Ballad of Sir Not-So-Stable
Fusing all those crystals had been far more intense than Thalion had first thought. It took an enormous amount of time and power to merge them into three, but the finished result was worth it. The three blood crystals pulsed with raw energy, bathing the small room in a deep red glow. Each was prismatic in shape, about five centimeters wide, and in Thalion’s eyes, absolutely perfect.
Now it was time to see how far Lucan had come with the runes, though Thalion guessed the smith had pro...
Chapter 303: How Not to Negotiate with Elves (A Jack & Josh Masterclass)
"I think these will make the blood explode, while the others give it more stability, which is very important so more power can be funneled into it. That’s what I believe these runes are doing. The only negative thing is that you won’t be able to reform the blood once it’s hardened through the whole process," Lucan exclaimed with gleaming eyes.
They had been working for over half a day, and much had happened. The first major news was that the palace had finally been found. It was ...
Chapter 302: The Scarlet King’s Rite
Thalion sat before the ashes of his friends, watching as the wind slowly carried them away. He had no idea how long he remained there in silence. Two of their fighters had been lost in the battle with the orcs, but almost every orc had been captured alive.
Later, he heard whispers how a few warriors had accidentally killed an orc and, in panic, hid the body inside their spatial rings so he wouldn’t notice.
When all the orcs were finally shackled and dragged to the dungeons, Th...
Chapter 301: Brakor of the Iron Jaws, Again...
"An orc with human hostages? What? How many are we talking about? Are they an actual threat to the base, or why do I need to deal with this?" Thalion blurted out.
He had just powered up, and if those orcs wanted to mess with him, they were all dead. He didn’t care for their lives and nothing would survive after trying to cross him.
"No, no, that’s not the problem," Evelyn shook her head quickly. "There are only about seventy orcs. The problem is that they have four level-twe...
Chapter 300: Don’t Worry, He Was Undead Anyway
"Whatever you’re trying, it won’t work," Elias said to Thalion, who was currently busy drawing a pentagram on the ground.
"I don’t feel pain, so you can’t torture me like the witch," Elias added with confidence.
Pretty bold for someone completely ensnared and helpless. But he was right—being immune to pain was a problem. Constant pain was useful for breaking the spirit, which meant he’d have a harder time using Gaze. Then there was t...
Chapter 299: Casual War Crimes
"Hey Thalion, you know what?" Kaldrek said, laughing as the group reunited in the undead base.
"Before I ran over here, I actually sent a full skyship loaded with elite warriors to check out Kael’s base and offer the people there a chance to join us. Guess what? His entire base joined us!"
Thalion grinned. “Wait, how did you even find the location of his base? I didn’t even know he still had one, besides that camp over there.”
“One of the folks who defected from K...
Chapter 298: Emotional Damage
Thorwald was truly annoyed. His plan had been to wait here and then attack the human faction after their war against the undead. But now it turned out they had somehow managed to fail and Ankhet had been revived.
Horrible.
How had they even messed that up?
The first three catacombs hadn’t been a problem, and now, at the final stretch, they screwed it all up.
With the undead still around, he couldn’t attack the humans and far too many humans and elves were still ...
Chapter 297: How to Lose a Fortress in 10 Minutes
"Hey, can you stop making those faces?" Thalion shouted at his friends, who stood atop the wall looking less than thrilled to see him again. Okay, maybe that was understandable. They had never seen him use this skill before. They probably thought he had been killed by Ankhet. His voice, coming from the mouth of the Crimson Eidolon and laced with its eerie echo, likely didn’t help matters either.
"Who are you, and what do you want? We’re not just going to surrender our lives to you!...
Chapter 296: At Least It's Not Raining
Explosions rocked the chamber every time their skills collided.
Elias was no slouch and proved to be a capable fighter. Now at full power, he pressed the attack, clearly aiming to kill Thalion. He unleashed multiple miasma-based skills simultaneously, all of them incredibly powerful. Before, he had primarily relied on blades and a shield, but now he conjured shockwaves, explosions, miasma beams, and more. His arsenal was wide, but against Thalion, it still wasn’t enough.
Tha...
Chapter 295: Thalion vs. Emo Gandalf
Normally, the air would howl around Thalion’s form, but not with the Crimson Eidolon. He was flying at full speed in a wide arc, hugging the wall. Every time he passed a group of vampires, his mouth opened and he activated Screech, blasting them straight to hell. The combination of sound and shockwave was quickly becoming one of his favorites.
There was one small conundrum: technically, he didn’t breathe in this form. He was the Crimson Eidolon, after all. Instead, he just had to g...
Chapter 294: Guess Who Didn’t Kill the Human?
Elias didn’t understand anything that was happening.
In fact, he was so confused that he stopped in the catacomb corridors just to think it all over for a moment. Everything had gone perfectly. Ankhet had been revived, and they were about to kill every human and elf in the tutorial, or at least hunt them all down. Then, an explosion rocked the chambers nearby, and Ankhet grew curious and ventured deeper. They found a beautiful red flower blooming, and from that moment on, Ankhet had ...
Chapter 293: Wall Hacks: Activated
They were both so surprised that it took a moment before their reactions kicked in. Thalion was faster than the undead elf. He immediately activated Crimson Gaze and struck the elf hard. Elias was first confused, then slowed down by the mental attack. Thalion used the opportunity and lunged forward, both claws elongating and glowing with intense red light. He dashed toward Elias at full speed. Elias was just a bit too slow to defend himself properly and only managed to turn to the si...

The vampire’s bones cracked as Thalion’s red-glowing claws tore straight through its back, ripping the creature in half. The seated vampires didn’t even know what hit them before they were all dead, wiped out in just a few seconds.
This skill was even stronger than Thalion had anticipated. Cleaving through vampires this easily was something special. The fact that he could also hide his aura and approach unnoticed made it even better.
Now, only the two vampires with...
Chapter 291: Eidolon Testing: Do Not Disturb
Thalion appeared in the cold air deep within the catacombs. He was fully regenerated and ready for battle. There were still undead blocking his path, and apparently one of the liches had a bloodline ability he might want to joink.
The conversation with the voice of the system, who turned out to be some sort of prison keeper, had been surprisingly fruitful, but Thalion still didn’t trust him. Later, they'd discussed whether he should tell his friends what he'd learned about the system...
Chapter 290: Steps Toward Divinity
"By the way, do you have any idea what affinity I should choose when using the Heartroot Elixir I borrowed from Kael?" Thalion asked after checking on the item in his spatial ring. So far, their conversation had been going well, and he was genuinely curious to hear the thoughts of the Voice of the System—or rather, the imprisoned dragon god.
"Hmm. Interesting question," the dragon god mused aloud, sinking deeper into the soft cushions of his chair.
"In general, it cou...
Chapter 289: Echoes of a Silent God
Thalion watched with wide eyes as the bronze-colored dragon god stepped out of the statue. Had he been trapped in there the whole time? He looked exactly like the statue—tall, muscular, with backward-curving horns and glowing eyes. The dragonkin looked at Thalion expectantly, who could only stammer:
“Wanna have a drink now?”
The dragonkin threw his head back and laughed heartily. His laugh sounded exactly like the voice Thalion had heard in his mind, except now it was real...
Chapter 288: Crimson Eidolon
Thalion arrived in the system shop with mixed feelings. Would the voice of the system kill him now that he had learned what Amun had told him? Was Amun’s death truly the work of the other gods, or the system itself, trying to keep its secrets buried?
Yet when he stepped in front of the golden statue, a wave of relief washed over him as his title shimmered softly with golden light.
"Good job, my little rising upstart," the voice of the system greeted him cheerfully.
...
Chapter 287: Godly Discussions
After Amun had finished his little presentation about how the system was essentially a greenhouse, Thalion ventured deeper into the tunnels and slept for a few hours to recover. When he woke up, the system shop would still be available for another three hours.
Before entering, though, he needed to think a few things through. It was probably smartest to be the last one to enter, just in case some gods decided to break a few rules, which might result in some extra goodies. For now, he ha...
Chapter 286: Amun Ra
A massive explosion rocked the chamber. The shockwave tore through the space like a cannon blast, shaking the stone foundations and sending a cascade of dust and debris raining down from the cracked ceiling. Thalion didn’t see what had happened to Ankhet. His own shield shattered beneath the pressure, and he was hurled like a ragdoll against the wall behind him. For a moment, the world went silent except for the faint ringing in his ears.
Hopefully, that would be the last time.
