“Haha!” Dave stood from his chair and clapped. “I knew I was right to bet on Derek. Whether or not he decides to join me, at least he kept his word. So, Sereph, what do you think of my decision to rely on that man now?”

“It seems that I was too quick to judge, Master Davenresh,” the elf replied with a bow. “As usual, you are correct.”

Dave’s smile grew wider, and he nodded. Then, he began scrolling through all the notifications from th...

Derek brought Amelia outside the void and dropped her onto the ground. He watched as she stood and brushed some of the dirt off her armor. They were at the end of the invasion, and there were only two Champion...

Chapter 596: You’re Done.

“You’ve really thought about it since he kicked your asses, haven’t you?” Derek asked Marrick.

“I have,” Marrick replied. “One must work their brain as much as their brawn in order to progress. This is especially true for battles lost.”

“And… you don’t wan...

The blades disappeared from Derek’s sight, and as they did, so too did the heat on the back of his neck and the sword that was being driven in. He also saw a telltale bright light flash, indicating that someone had been saved by the system. That someone was obviously Kelvin.

“That looks dangerous!” Jace said as he looked around Derek and at the beam landing on his arms. The man reached out and touched it, then pulled his hand back like a kid...

“Very well,” Darvin replied. After that, he raised his arms in front of him, and a small glowing ball started to form between his palms. “Amelia, Kelvin, Briya, Cuthos, Xephos… do you freely give a portion of your stored power as council members to smite this foe of the system?”

“Do it!” Briya yelled. “Just kill him!”

“You have my power, sir,” Cuthos said.

“Yessss…” Xephos clicked.

“I…...

“Ugh!” Jace quickly glanced at the list of Champions, only to see that Derek had already taken out Holcom. “Come on!” he yelled at a group of invaders who were attacking him. “Harder! You’re better than this!” If he really wanted to, he believed that he could join the fight as he currently was and wouldn’t be a burden. The only problem he might have would be if Trischa could still cancel his Bloodlust.

If she couldn’t, and ...

Chapter 592: Nullify

Inside a certain teleportation array, a high-ranking soldier stared at the back of Jace as he walked outside the barrier. The man looked around at the devastated soldiers and other invaders. The higher-ups had told him—along with all other higher-up soldiers—that if Jace appeared, they were to assist him....

“They’ve gathered all seven of them?” Derek asked just to make sure.

“Yes,” Jace replied. “Holcom was the last one to come back after he sent Xephos there. I saw both of them on the feed. And since I’ve already seen each of the others, it’s reasonable to assume...

“You seem awfully fond of Jace,” Derek said. “At least… you seem more interested in him than I’ve seen you before—other than your interest in Brandi, of course.”

“I’ve known my fair share of Jaces in my long life,” Marrick replied with a shrug. “They are dependable because you know exactly what they want. They are the type that you rarely have to worry about betraying you. Those like that man… those who crave battle an...

“What are we going to do?” Jace asked with a wicked grin.

“Tell me,” Derek said, avoiding Jace’s question. “Will we be able to build your Battlelust up by sparring? You know, to get you to your full battle potential before going at them?”

“That… is a good question,” Jace answered. “We should be able to, but it will build slower than normal since neither of us will really be aiming to defeat the other. A ba...

Chapter 588: Cowards

“Are you sure you should have been so antagonistic?” Derek asked Jace once everything was over.

“Darvin would think something was off if I was suddenly nice,” Jace said with a shrug. “That was post-battle, tired Jace, who just lost. He’s used to pissed-off, don’t-talk-to-me Jace.”<...

“Ugh…” Jace rolled his eyes, pretending to be put out. “What do you want to know exactly? Ask, and if I can answer, I’ll tell you… if I feel like it. And I don’t need your help to get myself ready to fight.”

In the background of the feed, he saw Darvin’s eye twitch and Briya’s ears stiffen slightly. He held back the smile that wanted to form on his face and waited. “First,” Amelia said. “How about you tell us exac...

“So…” Derek started. “Would you mind telling us everything you know about the Champions and their current situation?”

“You would want me to betray and turn on my own allies?” Jace looked at Derek with mock shock in his eyes.

Derek snorted. “Says the guy who killed a lizard—which I can only assume was the Champion called Wri—then tried to get my bonded companion to cook his tail…”

“Well… if yo...

“A lizard?” Silvi asked as she sniffed at the tail. “How strong? As strong as wyvern?”

“Yes, probably,” Jace replied. “I’d say that he wouldn’t have a problem against most beasts in the system. The bastard put up a good fight against me when I didn’t have any Battlelust built up, and even after I built up a bit.” He turned to look at Derek and said, “I had to use my Surge of War skill against him. Of course, I didn’t...

“Well,” Derek said. “The system that I landed in doesn’t actually have a system store. You have to do everything the hard way. You have to find a blacksmith and then hope they will help you. And there aren’t nearly as many on this planet as there were in the system store.”

He then summoned Harbinger and tossed a big piece of meat into the air. He activated Material Drain, and the meat fell onto the sphere and vanished. He looked a...

“I am quite old,” David said. “There’s something about light magic—whether healing or otherwise—that keeps the body in good shape. That, and the fact that my family has some elven ancestors on my father’s side.”

“So you are elven?!” Marrick nodded in affirmation. “I knew it. If the Dawn Siren met you before she took the ship over to the other continent, then you shouldn’t be more than a decade or two younger than th...

Chapter 581: Idiots

Inside the room of the defeated Chosen, it was so silent that one could hear a pin drop. Even though the screen that they were all watching the fight on had gone dark, nobody could peel their eyes away from it. Even the sullen and sulky Vendra was staring at it with a look of astonishment.

Finally, Edgar broke the silence. “Well… that was something,” he said. That was enough to at least pull Jakis away. The short man staggered backward and f...

“Marrick…” David said.

“Yes?”

“What… am I looking at?”

“A couple of battle-crazed maniacs…” Marrick answered.

“We never had a chance, did we?” David asked.

“I can beat him… I think,” Marrick replied. “I already know how.” The old elf shrugged. “After watching the two of them fight for so long, I think I know how Jace’s abilities work,” he explained. ...

“What kind of shit is this?!” Edgar shouted as his wide eyes were locked on the screen displaying the fight in front of him. He turned his head to Vendra. “This is the guy that took you and the other Guardian out?” he asked. “You have my condolences.” He shook his head. “Holy shit… and why the hell isn’t this guy a Champion? I know for a fact that Marrick would kick my ass if we were to fight. And he… he’s… so tired that he’s pa...

The teleporter that Holcom had set up before he’d gone out to find the Champions buzzed. Then a figure materialized. The figure took a step off the platform and winced. The guards stationed there to receive any Champions that Holcom sent back rushed forward to help the new arrival.

Soon, the new arrival was brought into Darvin’s commandeered temporary office, where Darvin, Amelia, and Trischa waited.

“That doesn’t look good,” Trischa...

With Jakis defeated, Derek quickly scanned his surroundings to make sure that there were no more threats around. After all, Eloria only had Osian left to protect it as a Guardian now that Edgar had gone and gotten himself defeated. Well, they did also have the Assassin’s Guild with them for protection, so he wasn’t too worried.

Seeing that there wasn’t any danger, Derek turned and nodded at Osian and Nyx, then opened the void and step...

A light flashed before Edgar, and he blinked his eyes. Confused, he held his hands out in front of him, then looked down. “I’m… healed?” he muttered to himself. “What…” he started as he looked around, but stopped as soon as he noticed something.

He was in a room—a very comfortable room, it seemed—and he was not alone. Inside, there was a massive creature… or man, who looked to be half human and half horse. Along with him was a ver...

“What!?” Derek half-yelled. “But I’ve been looking for him for so long! And I found Amelia, but she ran away from me.”

“Amelia… ran?” Jakis looked taken aback for a moment, then shrugged it off. “Doesn’t matter. She’s too cautious.” He then looked between Derek and Edgar. “Whichever of you is going to fight, hurry up.”

“I saw him first,” Edgar said. “And you’ve only been hunting for like… a couple of da...

Amelia floated extremely high up and far away from the city where she had defeated the Guardian. Now that she was alone and safe, she had some time to think about everything. She hadn’t become one of, if not the strongest, people in the entire system by acting rashly. She always put some thought into her actions, and she had developed some kind of sixth sense when it came to danger.

Who else other than The Ascending Monarch would have seen that I...
