Chapter 1118 - Limiting Possibilities

A small piece of human skin floated through the air while being disintegrated by destructive arcane mana. The human it had originated from had already teleported away as a taloned foot shot through the speck of skin, obliterating it entirely.

The Sovereign quickly spun in the air to kick an approaching arrow before getting blasted back slightly as it exploded. While flying back, the Rainbowfeather summoned two more platforms of mana it used to jump, chasing after Jake once more.

J...

Chapter 1117 - A Storm of Feathers

Jake focused his senses, as rather than panic in his moment of crisis, he felt a deep sense of calm that allowed him to respond the best way he possibly could. The final gambit of the Warlord had bound Jake tightly in a fashion not easily escaped. It wasn’t his physical body that was restrained, but his soul, and even if said soul was far more powerful than the norm, a B-grade willing to burn its own existence was still more than capable of affecting it.

Even if his body couldn’t mo...

Chapter 1116 - Expectations vs. Reality

<AUTHOR NOTE>

Hello there, people. Once more, Travis had finished narrating an Audiobook and thus book 12 has been released on Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Primal-Hunter-12-Audiobook/B0F8P6X1KR

It’s the end of the Nevermore Arc (man, that feels like ages ago), and leads up to the start of the Prima Guardian event. As always, any support i...

Chapter 1115 - Simivita Warlord

The large red mantis regarded its eggs for a moment before exiting the large hollowed-out tree. Surrounding it were about a hundred mantises, most of them orange and all of them with razor-sharp blades as their appendages.

The red mantis regarded a deep orange one kneeling at the front as the male spoke. “Mistress, I have returned from the Simivita island... and I believe we should stay clear of it for now.”

“Has the Warlord decided to deal with all invaders personally?” t...

Chapter 1114 - Creeping Death

“Be honest here. I know it’s not ideal, but do you think that’s better or worse than expected?” Jake asked the projection of a woman in front of him.

“Slightly worse... I had underestimated the arrogance some people possess. Even if they logically know they need to rein in their egos, in the heat of the moment, they forget themselves and act based on old habits,” Miranda said with a sigh. “Those from the Dragonflights are especially a handful.”

“Remember that you...

Chapter 1113 - The Beginning Of A New Multiversal Era

Scarlett couldn’t help but feel excited. This was her first official task as a member of the Order of the Malefic Viper, and it wasn’t an insignificant one either.

With the opening of the ninety-third universe, many factions were naturally interested in establishing a presence on Earth. Many already had, but far more were looking for an opportunity, including those who never had a chance before now.

Surprisingly, the Order of the Malefic Viper technically didn’t have a prese...

Chapter 1112 - Simivita Island: Outer Region

Grand Lake 1.

Lame name aside, these lakes, numbered one to five, were the source of mana and growth for the entire Hunting Ground, nurtured by the powerful entity living within the planet. Each Grand Lake served as the center of every Area, and due to the way environmental mana propagated, the more powerful monsters could be found closest to the lake, with the most powerful ones residing on islands within the lake.

Though perhaps calling them islands wasn’t entirely accurate, a...

Chapter 1111 - Classification Change

Jake truly experienced the woes of being too strong, as even something like the Simivita had proven unable to put up a proper fight. He likely wouldn’t have bothered fighting the Simivitas, as battling a large tribe was unnecessarily stressful, and he preferred facing solitary monsters.

Picking up the loot dropped by the Chieftain, Jake saw that one was a rare sword, and the skull necklace was an epic item that could apparently be used in occult rituals. Neither were items Jake cared ...

Chapter 1110 - Simivita Chieftain

Taking a break from practice to have some fun was a great way to refresh the mind and approach the topic with a fresh outlook. At least, that was Jake’s excuse when he decided to fight the Simivita Chieftain in melee.

It was likely also the best idea if his goal was to ensure everyone survived. Jake had no way to guarantee the safety of the two women, and he doubted the barrier set up by the dryad could hold if the Simivitas all began to attack it.

If killing the Chieftain quick...

Chapter 1109 - Misjudgements

They had definitely bitten off more than they could chew.

Keerla and Solana had always been a good team when hunting together. Solana was a talented dryad fighter, and Keerla had proven herself skilled enough with a bow to be blessed by Artemis. Individually, they were strong, but together, they could hunt down even peak C-grades with relative ease.

That was until they encountered them. While exploring near the Grand Lake, they discovered a mound with a cave – an oddity in the j...

Chapter 1108 - SOS

Solitary monsters were definitely superior to those who formed groups. It made sense, as these creatures would have been killed a long time ago if they couldn’t handle groups by themselves, and natural selection had done a good job of filtering out the weaker beasts that preferred to be alone.

The Crystalhide Oxen Lord had been a respectable opponent. Very durable, for sure, and Jake’s regular arrows couldn’t even penetrate its crystalline exterior. Its offensive capabilities did ...

Chapter 1107 - An Odd Little Encounter

Jake had been more injured than he initially thought. The destructive energies running through his body due to his boosting skill had obscured much of the internal damage, but once it was dispelled, Jake could see and feel just how dangerous sound-based attacks could be.

As he meditated to recover, Jake also analyzed the battle and admitted that the poison had proven more effective than he first assumed. It wasn't just due to its efficiency but also how it made those affected act.

Chapter 1106 - Angry Birds

Poisoning the entire local population of Rainbowfeather Songbirds took a bit of preparation. If Jake simply began throwing around bottles haphazardly, he doubted he could create a large enough field of death to do the damage he wanted to.

That’s why Jake took a slower and more measured approach. Checking his inventory, Jake had a total of a hundred and twelve bottles of liquid poison gas, most of them made during his stay with his parents or the brief moments of downtime he had recent...

Chapter 1105 - Enemies On All Sides

The rogue stealthily moved through the underbrush, clearing a path for his allies. Not far away, hidden within a magical concealment formation, his two hunting companions waited for him to finish. Their prey was a peak C-grade creature they had been eyeing for a while, and all their preparations were complete.

Now, they only had to navigate this godforsaken stretch of jungle in one piece to reach their destination. With stealth, they didn’t expect to be noticed by the local wildlife, ...

Chapter 1104 - Introduction To The Hunting Grounds

Jake stood in the air, observing the grand jungle that spread out endlessly beneath him. When he looked into the distance, he faintly detected curvature, indicating that he was no longer on the Great Planet. He guessed he was on another planet, likely smaller than Earth by a fair margin, about a fourth the size. Earth after the system, that is, as by pre-system standards, the planet would still have been considered decently large.

The jungle below was insanely dense, to the point where ...

Chapter 1103 - An Intrinsic Relationship

Jake had always known that his investment in Perception was a stroke of genius. He wasn’t just doing it because his Bloodline increased his Perception, and because having his senses improve just felt right somehow. That feeling of rightness likely came from his intuition, and since intuition came from Perception, it was truly a self-perpetuating cycle. Knowing that Perception was a lot grander than Jake usually read about the stat didn’t surprise him at all. Through his Bloodline, he alre...

Chapter 1102 - Perception Best Stat

Sometimes in life, one has to ask oneself important questions. What do I want to do with my life? What brings me purpose? How do I feel about someone? This was one such situation as Jake asked himself a vital question:

Am I actually a fucking idiot?

Jake had tried hard. Really hard. Artemis was helping him as much as she could, too, but so far, Jake felt like he’d made no progress. It had been over a week since he began practicing with the goddess, and all Jake had lear...

Chapter 1101 - Conceptualizing Concepts

Jake’s loss was quick and entirely as he’d expected. The version of Artemis he was fighting now was not the same as the Lord of the Hunt from back in the Challenge Dungeon. This was the real Artemis with her full comprehension of concepts. The version back then had only been a mere specter of the real thing, and the difference was stark. The Emblem definitely wasn’t made for gods to duel mortals, as the sheer difference in conceptual understanding made it a total non-starter.

With...

Chapter 1100 - First Archery Lesson

Visualization was key. All skills had Records that represented them, and all Records could be imagined if one understood them well enough. At least, that had always been Jake’s understanding. He needed to fully understand a skill before he could properly visualize it within his Soulspace.

However, that assumption was far from complete. It wasn’t wrong per se; it was just one of many ways to make a visual representation of something appear in the Soulspace.

The easiest way was ...

Chapter 1099 - Split Up Once More

Jake almost wanted to go and talk with Nature’s Attendant immediately but controlled himself, deciding he wasn’t in a rush. Besides, he and Yggdrasil were already working on helping the Fallen King, and Jake didn’t want to come rushing in only a week later to ask for another favor.

Instead, he decided to wait until they called him. That way, it would also seem as if Jake had considered the matter for longer. When Jake asked Dina more about this idea, it became clear he really wasn...

Chapter 1098 - Peak Fantasy

Yeah, my palace is definitely bigger. They don’t even have an indoor pool! Jake thought proudly to himself as he inspected the large compound assigned to the Sword Saint during his stay with the Pantheon of Life.

Although the place was still excessively large for housing just one man, it wasn’t as extravagant as Jake’s palace. Sylphie also stayed with the old man, and Jake suspected that Minaga and Dina frequently visited. He was quite sure Dina temporarily stayed there a...

Chapter 1097 - Swords, Vines, & Birds

The blade cut through the web of vines as the swordsman expertly avoided the thorns covering them, even as they shot out, aiming to impale his body. A screen of water protected him as a green blast sought to push him back, allowing him to continue his pursuit as the druid in front of him slammed her staff into the ground.

A vast fissure appeared between the Sword Saint and Dina, seeking to swallow him up as a torrent of vines erupted from beneath. Miyamoto’s eyes opened wide as he had...

Chapter 1096 - "To be a gag gift, or not a gag gift, that is the question." - A worried Jake

The palace assigned to Jake was needlessly big, to the level of it being kind of silly. It had at least a few hundred rooms by Jake’s estimate and all the facilities one could ever need, from a fully equipped blacksmith to an alchemy lab. One could run an entire damn product line out of there, and Jake felt very confident he would never set foot in any but one of them outside of this house tour.

When it came to leisure, it had both an indoor and two outdoor pools and several entertain...

Chapter 1095 - Beauty & Brain

Jake had been right in many of his assumptions regarding the Pantheon of Life. The information he’d read during the voyage there had also been confirmed continually as Jake got a tour of what he mentally called the capital city of the Pantheon of Life.

He also learned a lot about the people who lived there. Most factions in the multiverse had some kind of bias or leaned toward certain races more than others, often because of who the leader of the faction was. Even somewhere like the O...

Chapter 1094 - Nervousness

Jake was definitely nervous as he finally found himself alone facing Artemis. It wasn’t nerves born of fear, but a mix of anticipation and hope that everything would go as he’d wished.

So far, Jake still didn’t have full knowledge of how Artemis felt about everything. At most, he could make educated guesses based on how she and everyone else acted. If Nature’s Attendant and Yggdrasil believed she had any desire to end his existence, he really hoped they wouldn’t have assigned ...

Chapter 1093 - Divine Gift Exchange

Yggdrasil dispelled the many leaves again after a few seconds of giving Jake time to be in awe. He had a lot of questions, and he couldn’t hold back but at least ask some of them.

“This space is bigger than it looks from the outside, right?” Jake asked. Sure, Yggdrasil was already massive from the outside, but he still didn’t believe this many leaf continents – something he’d just decided now to call them - could fit inside.
