Timmy, and Billy the dragonfly, darted above the pool of lava, and they did so without suffering any casualties. Billy avoided making any spin moves, and that was about the main thing that kept the both of them safe. Dragonflies were generally very agile creatures, they strived in precision, and they were capable of thinking critically, so Tim was in good hands!
“I gotta keep an eye on Arvena,” He muttered quietly, as he didn’t want to distract the dragon. “She made all that la...

Ortana's veins were painted in gold. They had that literal golden color on them now, and it was present from her hands, and all the way up to her elbows! It was terrifying, but she had only felt pain for a short second throughout this experience, and that pain was very minimal, so at least that was something to be positive about.
“What happened?” Skendus panicked, and tried to help her.
“I don't know,” She shook her head, “But I'm fine, that is, my fingers didn't fall of...

Arvena kept repeating the chant, she was dedicated to summoning what she wanted to. “I summon thee, Celestial Spear, for my enemy is about to best me, and I dare not be bested, so listen to me damn it! Take my mana, for that is my most treasured possession, take as much as you want, and distort its quality as you please! My enemy has to die, that is a must!”
The chant was very convincing, however, regardless of who it was that she was praying to, and how badly she wanted to have thi...

Despite their recent adventures, running into a dragon was usually a horrible thing. Dragons were powerful, typically, so they could choose to be really violent if they wanted to! In this case, a dragon floating above lava was less than friendly, the team was in big trouble.
They only had two options here as far as anyone was concerned. They could either run away and hope for the best, or they could attack the yellow dragon directly!
In this case, the first option was ruled out ...

“I guess the Nerve Shaker will come in handy eventually, let's just hope it isn't as expensive as everything else I use.” He muttered, and then he gestured for the rest of the group to try and steal the same ability from these carcasses.
For a few minutes it was difficult for them to understand each other, because their ears were still ringing, but eventually they understood what he initially meant. Ear pain was one of the worst pains of all, they were not happy.
Anyway, Ortan...

The ones who screeched were not goats, and that wasn't surprising, but they were still terrified beyond comprehension! The group felt confident that they could handle a single monster, but judging from the screeches, they were about to be attacked by several of them, and this was a lot trickier to handle!
“Does anyone see anything?” Tim asked, as he nursed fireballs on his palm.
Georgie answered, except Georgie couldn't speak the goblin tongue, no. He just barfed out a fireb...

Despite the magical expenses, Timothy pierced through the boulders faster than one-hundred men would. He aimed at the boulders on top of the entrance’s blockage, because they were cheaper for him to bash through, and they were less likely to cause a rock slide!
Timothy was right to carry out his plan in that manner, because he did make an entrance at the very top, and nothing bad happened either. Then, they climbed up the boulders, and had the dragons stay behind because they could bl...

The team was not happy about serving some church that was located in the middle of nowhere, they were not fans of this idea whatsoever! Though regardless of what they felt, they had to cooperate here, because for some reason, this oddly built Church of Gulism had plenty of spiritual values, and deep undertones! They needed its priest's blessing, and they needed it soon.

Even though it took them about two hours to climb down from the mountainside, the team finally made it to the city. Manape left much to be desired, but it was their picked destination spot nonetheless, so they strode within the city with their eyes wide open, and their weapons swinging around on their belts.
No one attacked them, thankfully, but it took a while to find the church. This city was way under-organized, to the point where even its architectural layout was messy, and hard to...

The group was escorted out of the city of Glorious Letazix. The guards escorted them, and although they expressed that the group was welcome in the city, they suggested that the group sought out the blessing of the other churches, before visiting here again. In fact, it would be great if they stayed away from civilization all together, according to the guards, because a god on a mission wouldn't mind vaporizing innocent bystanders, as they believed that their means justified relentless slaugh...

Skendus was getting sick of all the formal praises here, so he decided to be even more direct. This was a universe where mana gods shouldn't be worshiped, after all, and from what he could understand, these priests were clearly praising those that they were not supposed to!
The symbolism, their recent stroke of bad luck, etc, he could connect all of those dots immediately, and decided to ask these priests the questions that many other people would hesitate to ask. He didn't hold back....

Despite being in potential danger, Skendus and the group ate their meals quietly, and calmly. They were calm because if someone was to attack them, they could protect themselves! Those guards had to be within the God's Punishment Realm of mana, considering that Skendus could read their minds without much of a struggle, in other words, those guards were perfectly killable.
“They’re protecting the church,” Timothy pitched, as he jammed a whole beef steak down his gullet. “Meaning,...

At the break of dawn, the team and the dragons were on the move! They all wanted to reach the ruins of Aqumus as fast as possible, but this task that Tim’s dreams had brought upon them, was difficult to ignore.
The dragonflies knew how to find that cross with bent arms, and that was all that mattered right now, they had to figure out what that cross was about. They were on the air, the group was on Georgie’s back, and the dragonflies led the way as they seemed to be the ones who wer...

Tim woke up. The dreams he recently had were surely bizarre, but they were just that, dreams, and they couldn't hurt him.
Though he was as confused as ever, he was still happy when he woke up, as he had a couple of reasons to be happy about. For a start, he survived a heart attack, which is something that not everyone could say about themselves, or their loved ones, he got lucky.
Secondly, he was happy because he never saw Arvena be this affectionate before! She had been watching...

Georgie the dragon, and the group of goblins came to an agreement. Since they helped him survive that icy death trap, Georgie was to fly them to the ruins of Aqumus!
Now this was a great deal, because Georgie didn't have to exert too much energy to fulfill his end of the bargain, and the goblins could reach their destination without risking their necks every step of the way. A distance of four hundred kilometers was a lot for them, but not if they were on the dragon throughout most of t...

The dragons that Georgie had summoned were quite tiny, but that was not a problem. They were very well suited for the occasion, because large dragons would not be able to help them much in this situation, even if they were successfully summoned. The ice walls were over thirty meters tall, so there were a lot of ways for things to go wrong - They needed precision to get out of here, and not brute strength.
The tiny dragons pierced through the ceiling of the ice labyrinth successfully, a...

Since they both discovered where those frozen human remains were, it would make sense if only one of them led them to the spot. Skendus led the way, because this arrangement would be more efficient if he led, and Ortana joined him to keep him company.

“Well that sucks, we dug it out for nothing.” Ortana sighed.
“We? I did all the work.” Arvena corrected.
Either way, it didn't seem like they were to progress anytime soon. The dragon was even wedged between the ice walls, so it wasn’t like he could move away from the other dragon carcasses anyway. The team was as stuck as they were before, but now they also had a dragon to care for, they were pissed.

The trapped dragon was now more excited, because the dripping water gave him a couple of advantages. For a start, it gave him just a bit more air to breathe in, and this itself was a great thing to be excited about, so it wasn’t a surprise that his brain activity was going up now, he just avoided death by a ball-hair here.
The second advantage was far greater in comparison! Since the water had an exit point, he could melt more of the ice around him now, and not drown himself in the pr...

The atmosphere around them got colder, and colder, to the point where it was physically impossible to survive it for long! Arvena had practically sealed the exit of the nest that they were in, she sealed it with a scorching coating of fire, but that was not enough to make the team comfortable, for a couple of reasons.
First things first, a sealed exit cut down on their oxygen supply pretty quickly, it left them almost breathless after ten minutes of her futile efforts. She had to stop ...

The team was in a very peculiar situation. Tim had this ten foot tall ape on a choke hold, but since he was pouring mana into this advantage that he made for himself, he couldn’t keep things going for long, as his mana pool was not infinite! The Soul Grabber ability was currently taking sixty points of mana out of him, every second, and this example was not cheap.
That aside, this ape seems to be quite tolerant to the team's attacks, they wouldn't be able to kill him so easily even i...

After he left the nano-universe of Nul, Timothy had woken up with an improved quality of mana. Level five to be exact, otherwise known as Good Quality Mana!
Since ‘good’ was in its name, Tim felt pretty excited about it, because he could finally pose a threat against the common dangers of this universe. The micro-universe of Valporovus was not for the weak, and he was sick of either running, or depending on others for help, so level five did him good.
Two weeks later, however,...
