TBE Chapter 99

Ezekiel joined Simon and his brothers, who were listening to the minstrel’s song. He was happy to hear that the song was clean enough since he was expecting something tawdry based on the novels that he had read.

Then he noticed that there were some other children listening too and Ezekiel thought that those kinds of song would probably be sung later when there were no more children listening in.

He ordered food from the waitress, who was blinking her eyes at...

“That is not a wizard’s weapon! That’s a warrior’s!” Anna shouted.

“Son, that’s a mace,” Anders pointed at while looking at the weapon for Anna that he retrieved from the game.

“This weapon is called The Heart of The Oak and was made for a legendary Druid, but its abilities also apply to wizards,” Anton said.

He then described all the powerful properties the legendary runeword weapon had, but Anton pointed out the main part which was increasing the abilit...

Chapter 452

The sun was not fully down, so while Anton was preparing to rest, Anders tested the capabilities of his new runeword armor. Anton and Anna watched their father’s antics on the small island. The first thing that Anders tested was the supposed faster walking and running.

Anders walked first, and Anton and Anna saw that their father’s movement was simply walking, but his speed didn’t match his movement. It looked like Anders was sprinting. When Anders ran using his full speed, they w...

Under the umbrella that Ezekiel used to shield themselves from the sun, they set up the table and chairs that were always inside the cart and there, he laid out their food for lunch. Soon, Robert and Luke arrived and thankfully, they were not followed by a horde of children.

“Where are your friends?” Simon asked the boys.

“They returned home when we said that brother called us,” Luke said.

“When they saw Yuki Onna, they were so scared it was so...

Chapter 451

Anton thought that by the time weeks passed, the hurt he felt would start to fade, but so far, it had not. There were moments when he was watching a short video that he thought was clever or funny enough to share with his friends, but then he would suddenly remember that they were gone, like a punch in the stomach.

The grief would then well up again. He never expected that his friends' demise would affect him so much since they were just “friends,” but his heart was treating everyon...

Chapter 450

Anton also thought that one reason any sea monsters did not attack them was because of how fast they were moving. He had been relentless in making sure that their little lifeboat was moving away from the location where the Amelia was destroyed by the undead, since he truly wanted to escape with his family.

By the time another week had passed, which was quietly announced by Anders to his two children, Anton’s Sorceress character in the ladder competition was already level seventy. Afte...

Chapter 449

Anton was busy leveling up his newly created Sorceress in the New Ladder Season for the Diablo II game all day. He knew he would need to conduct some research because apparently, some ladder season would release new powerful items. The only way for an offline character to receive them was to get them while a character was playing in the ladder competition.

Ever since he arrived in this world, majority of his time was consumed inside the World of Sanctuary and there were times that he wo...

Ezekiel served some of the dishes that he had recently cooked during lunch, and he was a little proud of them. Based on the expression of his brothers, Simon and their guests, who were the father and son farmer travelling to the nearby village, they agreed with his assessment that the food that he cooked was delicious.

He noticed that the older farmer became quiet and wondered why that was. The man didn’t stop eating though. Once lunch was done, they returned to t...

Chapter 448

Anton was focused on his Diablo II system after breakfast that day, so there was a noticeable dip in the speed of their lifeboat’s flight, but it was truly important for him to know all the details of his system's changes.

Just like the first time that a major change happened to his Diablo II system, a pop-up page appeared, but this time, the information was more extensive than before which was understandable since the changed that happened before was that the system modified the inve...

Ezekiel watched the boys run off with a smile on his face. He didn’t mind that they left him to do all the cooking, since, to be honest, he enjoyed it, and he enjoyed the fact that his brothers were happy.

While he was preparing to grill some more pork, he suddenly thought of a most important fact that he wanted to hit himself.

He had the spell Fabricate. He was also reasonably skilled enough in cooking that he could cook the recipes that he was looking at, ...

Chapter 447

For the next few days, Anton, Anna, and their father did the same thing. Anton tirelessly looked at the front of their tiny lifeboat, making sure that the direction of their flight was always to the west. Anton would always look at his compass, which he retrieved from somewhere every hour or so, and after that, he returned to staring ahead.

No one would know that, aside from controlling their lifeboat, Anton tried his best to liquify his brain by watching short video films from Earth's ...

On the third day of their stay in the campsite that Simon chose for them, which was near a lake, they all began their day by eating the delicious breakfast that Ezekiel had prepared for them. After that, Robert, Luke, and Simon ran outside the house to go on their adventures, either in the lake or in the forest.

As usual, Ezekiel asked Yuki Onna to follow the three boys, and he also re-awakened the butcher knives using the Tiny Servant spell so they would have more ...

Chapter 446

Anton seemed stiff when he was practicing the sword that his father was teaching both him and his sister, but he did have several melee characters at the maximum level, so he had the capabilities of a top-notch warrior. It was just that he didn’t know if his body needed exercise, and if the sword practice would take his father’s mind off what happened to them, at least for a couple of hours, then Anton was glad to join the family in their sword practice.

Anna and his father spent th...

Chapter 445

During the dark of the night, the only thing Anton, his father, and his sister could do was eat and talk, and since the three of them still had no appetite, they spoke even though they were not in the mood. Anders forced them to. Their father kept telling them that it was too dangerous for the three of them to remain silent for a long time, since he had seen it during his mercenary days when some of his companions lost someone important in their lives.

“Anton, can you give me some man...

Ezekiel spent the rest of the day cooking. He cooked different dishes that he found on the internet and then stored them in huge storage bowls. He also didn’t stop steaming rice and even cooked rice different ways, like fried rice and onigiri style rice.

At around 2 in the afternoon, the three boys barged into the kitchen yelling that they were hungry, so Ezekiel served them the bento boxes remaining in his 4th tab space. There were still a lot of them, and they w...

Chapter 444

Looking at the distance ahead, Anton could see only the shadowy undulation of the ocean waves. The stars provided little light that allowed him to see in the distance, but everything looked dark, like he had fallen into some dark hell.

He knew that he was being overly dramatic, but Anton couldn’t help it. He knew that it would be a long time before he could find something that would make him happy.

Anton’s father and sister were still sleeping, and he could see that both of th...

Chapter 443

The sun rose in the east, and the ocean began its journey of changing its colors as the sun started to rise. The colors ranged from deep blue to brilliant pink and vivid oranges until it settled to its natural color when the day had fully arrived.

It was beautiful, but Anton knew that it would probably be a long time before he could appreciate any sort of beauty in the world.

Anton’s father woke up soon, but this time, Anders didn’t struggle. Anton saw that his father looked a...

Chapter 442

Anton’s father stopped struggling when he heard Anton’s voice telling him that the shadow-like man holding him was his familiar. Anders looked around and saw Anton beside him and Anna being hugged by another person who looked exactly like Anton but wearing a different set of armor. Then Anton’s father fainted.

Since his father fell asleep again, Anton just kept on flying to the west. Without anything to distract him, the only thing he could think of was his memories of the time he...

Chapter 441

Anton kept losing consciousness because of the relentless psychic attack that the wizards from the Undead Coalition ships kept bombarding the area. His physical and magical defenses were extraordinarily robust because of the stats and passive skills he received from all of his Diablo II characters and the equipment that his character was wearing. He wasn’t aware that his mental defenses were not the same as his magical defenses, and because of that, he was vulnerable to the mental attack th...

Ezekiel returned home after his spell practice. He called everyone and started their lessons for that night. When the lesson was finished, he stopped the three boys from leaving.

“There’s going to be another lesson for the three of you. It’s the language of magic that allowed me to cast spells. It doesn’t mean that it will turn you into wizards, but the language will allow us to talk to each other using a secret language, and not only that, once you learn ho...

Chapter 440

Anton spent the night worrying, which he kept telling himself was a colossal waste of time, but he could not help himself. Not only that, but he was switching between worrying and grieving since if he and his family weren’t successful in escaping the ship, they would either be enslaved or destroyed by the undead. If the Amelia was able to escape from the undead, the Invincible Wizard Katrina was not going to let him go.

He didn’t know what he should pray for. Should he pray for the ...

The hamburger meal was a success. It even brought tears to Simon’s eyes to the amusement of everyone. Luke even asked why Simon was crying, and the man straightforwardly told the boy that it was because the food was the most delicious food that he had eaten.

“I understand! I cried the first time I tasted French fries. They’re the most delicious food!” Luke said and Ezekiel wondered what was it about French fries and young boys. He also remembered that when h...

Chapter 439

Anton was thankful that the ship’s wizards allowed him to stay in this room, away from those who were conducting the ritual in an attempt to outrun the Undead Coalition’s ships. Because he knew the Invincible Wizard Katrina’s plan regarding him, it was getting exceedingly difficult to observe her without his bitterness showing off in his face.

If the worst happened, Anton was grateful that he lived happily in the Amelia together with his friends for a few weeks. He felt like a reg...

The market was the same as any other market that Ezekiel had seen in all the villages that they had passed through. It was in some sort of plaza surrounded by houses. The villager who was guiding them was some sort of relative of the village chief and they were asked to pay five copper coins to sell their items in the market.

Ezekiel found it weird, though, that the man didn’t try to find out what they would be selling, but Simon did tell the villagers at the entr...

Chapter 438

Anton was concocting plans in his mind on how to escape both the Undead Coalition and the Invincible Wizard Katrina while waiting for noon to arrive. So far, the only thing that he could think of was to ask his father, Lucas, or Devon to steal one of the lifeboats or something big enough that could hold all of them, then use his Telekinesis to control the lifeboat so it would be fast enough for them to get away and use some of his other spells, like the Assassin skills to hide the lifeboat wh...

The next day, Ezekiel thought of leaving early since he felt that they had enough game in his 4th tab space that he could cook a lot of food that would last them a while but then again, looking briefly at his inventory, he felt that he still had enough space and he saw that Simon enjoyed the hunting process, more than likely, it was because the man knew that he was protected from danger by a wizard which was true enough since Yuki Onna and the butcher knives awakened by E...

Chapter 437

Anton was so grateful that his Vigor Aura from the rune word bow Harmony allowed him to stay awake without feeling any sleepiness or tiredness. He remained full of energy and, based on what he could see, Katrina, the Invincible Wizard, heading the ritual and the other six Supreme Wizards were also looking as fresh as the time the ritual started.

He also avoided feeling bored since he spent the time acting as the source of aura by entering his Diablo II system creating enchanted item and...

Chapter 436

Anton studied all the mages from Katrina, who was the Invincible Wizard heading the ritual that would allow the Amelia to escape the clutches of the Undead Coalition ships, to the six Supreme Wizards with all of their eyes closed, holding on the mana that was floating in front of them. The multi-colored floating mana, which was the result of the ritual, looked like those light effects one would see in the videos representing the galaxies and other heavenly bodies shown on videos about the uni...

Chapter 435

There were about thirteen people inside the conference room, and Anton assumed that the only lady sitting at the head of the table was the Invincible Wizard, and the other twelve were all Supreme Wizards.

They were all deeply discussing how to utilize some sort of spell, and Anton didn’t understand any of it. That was also the reason why even if the magic item that showed the ranking of a mage showed that Anton’s rank reached the Supreme Wizard rank, he wouldn’t be able to believe...

Chapter 434

Captain Robertson replaced the Supreme Numinor in the magical speaker.

“We are forming a company of warriors that will help protect the ship in case we get boarded. Please go to the dining hall to volunteer yourselves if you have the capability to defend the Amelia since defending our ship means protecting your family. Lastly, we expect nothing but stringent discipline from everyone. Please stay in your rooms to avoid causing chaos. Again, may the divines help us all.”

“If w...
