Chapter 659 - Rebels

Sammy kept guiding Hera to the place where Bonnie was located. They were still running through the woods. Lurize was following along in his weapon form since moving around on his bipedal form would harm their speed too much. Nimbus was also in his weapon form, but instead of just flying around, the Empress was wielding him, and Edge was on her belt, still with the Elemental Strength spell active to help her heal from the wounds she got during the fight with Kadhan. She had lost her weapons, F...

Chapter 658 - It's all the same

Kadhan could have become larger and be under the effect of some weird potions, but he still seemed to be able to use his array of skills and spells. He moved around almost like he was doing a mixture of dance and fight, doing cartwheels, spins, and rhythmic movements. In a way, it reminded Hera of Brazilian Capoeira. That was a fighting style she looked into when she started learning how to fight, but it felt like it revolved too much around spinning, which made her dizzy. The biggest problem...

Chapter 657 - Plans that come together

Hera's reflexes were starting to become very well-tuned. She wasn't someone who was in constant fights and would be risking her life every single day, but she spent enough time having to fight against things that pushed her back to warrant training. That's why she did various training drills with her court, improving her senses and reactions to incoming attacks. If there were any doubts, all that hard work just paid off. As soon as the dagger sank into her gut, she triggered her armor to bloc...

Chapter 656 - An unexpected battle

With the potion in her bag, Hera and the others started running. They were all 1 hour away from the location where the traps were set up. However, that time was counted as people walking at a brisk pace. If they were running, they would arrive much sooner. Everyone was moving fast through the jungle, being somewhat careful with some areas that could have some of the traps they had prepared for the smaller monsters. Grilat was leading the way since he knew more about this and even had made a c...

Chapter 655 - Trapping the Night River

It took them about five hours of travel to get to the location where they would camp while preparing for the hunt. The actual area where they would attempt to trap the Night River was about one hour out, but if it was too disturbed, it would be easy for the monster to realize something was wrong. Hera understood that if someone had to walk all the way back to the village, it would take just a bit under three hours, but since they were all carrying materials and boxes, their travel time was se...

Chapter 654 - Preparations

"Hera, Blue, it's time to get up," Nimbus' voice came softly, as he did when he was going to wake them up. The Empress almost attacked the Sentinel, not because of a nightmare, but because she was feeling exhausted, and to her, she had just managed to sleep. During the entire night, the curse kept creeping into her mind, offering ways for her to see the mana she saw before, to feel the sensation of boundless power that she felt when she used the Pool of Styx against the mantises. The main iss...

Chapter 653 - Wrong History

After having that small 'talk' with the curse, Hera decided to head back. Her blades were unable to find anything, and most of the village was already going to bed, some not just to sleep. Even if they were in the past and they were trying to figure out who created the curse, she didn't want to invade people's privacy like that. But she was also too tired to get back on foot, and she could already see her house from the top of the wall.

'Nimbus, can I be lazy and ask for a favor?'

Chapter 652 - Village Chief

The next morning, during breakfast, Multrak clapped his hands loudly to get everyone's attention. It seemed like the village was used to that kind of thing, and they all stopped to listen.

"First of all. Good morning everyone. Second, yesterday Hera and Adriel went out on their first hunt. Even if it was something that wasn't prepared properly, that doesn't change the fact that they have succeeded and returned alive and well. A bit scorched, but well," Multrak smiled at Adriel, who took...

Chapter 651 - After a hunt

Hera gathered the materials for Kadhan's new field, which was nothing more than just another part of the cave where he was placing planters for his mushrooms. Lurize and Nimbus helped her, and the three took a moment to talk about what happened when the Pool of Styx was active. To Lurize, he became much stronger than anything. He even imagined he would be able to take that giant monster that Hera saw during the vision when she met Mr. Beetle. Nimbus also had some unique effects. He became muc...

Chapter 650 - Visible scars

During most of their walk, neither Hera nor Reynara spoke, at least not with each other. The court was in a frenzy. Being able to use that much power out of the blue made them really excited, and they couldn't stop gushing over how strong they became, even if just for a small moment.

'You were an actual volcano!' Ooze said to Core.

'What about Dao? That lightning was ridiculous; I didn't even know something like that could be that big,' Core turned to the sword.

'I think you...

Chapter 649 - Power Beyond Measure

"Let me go right now!" Reynara barked again, this time trying to claw Lurize, but his armor was too strong for her, and she couldn't make move wide enough to get some force behind her attacks.

'Can you hold her down?' Hera asked without looking in his direction, not because of the Royal Tutor but because of the woman he was currently holding against a tree.

'I can, without a problem. I'm just worried about you.'

'Don't be. I'm done worrying about her,' Hera replied, increasi...

Chapter 648 - Yet another test

Hera kept following Reynara with Adriel by her side. Her court was all kitted with the magnets to allow them to make a wide perimeter around them. Nimbus and Lurize, on the other hand, were close to the Empress, just in case the huntress decided to do something against them.

Reynara was aware of the court but was currently focused on tracking the monsters. There was a particular elusive swarm of Cherry Mantises that had been annoying her to no end. The creatures were not doing anything ...

Chapter 647 - Unexpected meeting

Hera left the greenhouse/laboratory and started looking for the repair team. It didn't take long for that, but it wasn't quick either. She had to ask Multrak and a few other people until someone could tell her they were outside the village, fixing a few traps and part of the damaged wall. To her luck, as the Empress walked towards the gate leading outside, she encountered Adriel going the same way as she.

"Hey. What are you doing here?" the elf asked.

"Hey. Kadhan asked me to come...

Chapter 646 - Culprits everywhere

On that first day, when they started working their jobs, everyone found out one thing or another that could lead them to the curse. Helena and Alex discovered that a few people in the village were very secretive about something they were doing. By themselves, those people didn't seem to match anything that the curse could do. But when they were all together, it felt a bit odd. Two of them were oracles. They were able to predict the future to a certain extent, things that were happening far aw...

Chapter 645 - A friendly duel

Even after Blue called for the start of the fight, Hera and Grilat just stared at each other. Hera was moving a bit but not in an aggressive way, just to get used to this new body. It was odd to think that she was here and somewhere else at the same time. Her mind was perfectly attuned to her current body. Even the amount of strength she had to put in her legs was still the same. Of course, this might be because she got a debuff that reduced everything equally, but still, it was impressive. 2023-04-21 13:00:07 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 644 - All who hunt

During dinner, Hera and her party weren't able to have a conversation about the curse, so they were just talking about their new jobs. Shane and Mylo joined the guard watching over the walls. Shane was very good at using a few long-range spells to scout the area. Mylo didn't like any of the jobs, and standing around all day in hopes that something would happen seemed like the better alternative. Adriel and Blue joined the crew that would focus on building. They started working on the training...

Chapter 643 - Witch Doctor

After entering the room, Hera had to go down a long flight of stairs. Surrounding the walls were several different types of moss and mushrooms that would grow in the dark. She looked up, trying to see Kadhan, but the man was gone. Feeling a bit uneasy, she called Daskka out. Armory and Scythe were already on her head, but they couldn't do much in a fight.

'How are you doing?' the Empress asked her herald, who had been very quiet since yesterday.

'I… don't know, mum. This feels w...

Chapter 642 - Split up and search for clues

When morning came, the entire party ended up sleeping in. It wasn't that much of a surprise since they were already awake for hours before arriving at the Vanguard. And after all that, they still had to go through the 10-hour test. Not to mention the time it took for them to learn about the village, eat dinner and build the house. It wasn't a surprise for anyone that they were taking so long to wake up. Still, at around 10 a.m. Grilat started knocking on their door.

"Hey, going to spend...

Chapter 641 - The end of a long day

The group spent about 20 minutes discussing the possibility of Multrak being a vampire or not. Thanks to Blue and Milo, no one got too hung up on what the elder actually did to get sent here. Not to say that any of them forgot, but they were trying to take the man at face value. Despite the tricky initial interaction, he never actually did anything to harm them. As a matter of fact, he was even being polite and helpful. Grilat also seemed a nice guy, even if, according to what they had just l...

Chapter 640 - An ancient Legacy

Blue was the first one to start talking. She explained everything about her legacy, with the exception of where she got it. Sammy was the one who told her to avoid mentioning that since it could cause problems with the timeline, "In the end, my legacy is not just about the storm or about clouds. It's about clouds that can transform into storms. I only realized that recently and I still have to figure out what that actually means."

Hera glanced at Blue with a worried expression. She neve...

Chapter 639 - The Vanguard

Hera and her party followed the elder beastman inside the city. This time, people seemed more relaxed. Some would even wave at them, and most were not wearing any masks or helmets. The Empress had the impression that when they arrived here, the people were ushered inside their homes, but now they were seeing the village as it was supposed to be.

"Are we okay? Don't we have to worry about the monsters that were attacking back there?" Bonnie asked the elder.

"We have another team to...

Chapter 638 - Combat Marathon

One hour turned into two, three, six, and ten. During all that time, Hera and her friends didn't have a single chance to take a break. Or, at least, not a proper break where all of them could rest. Nimbus would help anyone who wanted to go to the bathroom by carrying them out of the arena to the side and then protecting them while they relieved themselves. It wasn't a pretty job, but it was one that everyone felt thankful for. Another thing that was almost a blessing was the third type of mon...

Chapter 637 - Test of endurance

"Sammy, what the hell is going on?" Blue asked as the sounds of approaching creatures became louder. At the same time, a part of the wall opposite the staircase collapsed, revealing a path directly inside the jungle.

"I don't… I don't know," the small turtle replied. He was looking around, and he was clearly frazzled by the situation.

"Can I have Nimbus take us out of here?" Hera asked.

"I… I don't think so. This is part of the deal. If you want to stay here, you have to...

Chapter 636 - Hidden Village

During the next 30 minutes, the group continued walking through the jungle, being guided by Sammy. Everyone agreed that this place was very strange. The plants looked much more like something from the time of the dinosaurs than anything else. The monsters also had a prehistoric feel to them. Bugs were much bigger than they were supposed to be. Aside from the Cherry Mantis, they Also saw a group of red grasshoppers jumping around. Those creatures could create small bursts of fire under their l...

Chapter 635 - A jungle in the past

Looking around, Hera felt both scared and amazed by her surroundings. The trees in this jungle were absolutely massive. Each could reach well above 10 meters in height, and the diameter was nothing to scoff at either. She imagined that some of those trees could turn into two-bedroom houses if someone was to start carving away. Even the bushes and flowers were much bigger than she was used to. A single petal was about the size of her head. In a way, the size and shape of the flowers reminded h...

Hey everyone. Sorry this chapter came so late. Yesterday I had a power outage as I was finishing it, then lost half the chapter in the process, and today when I was starting to write, a pipe burst in my house. Today was a day x.x  
I'm sorry it took so long, but Saturday's chapter is finally here. The next one should be live on Monday during our regularly scheduled broadcast.

Chapter 633 - Preparing for a Session

"Wait, what do you mean by that, Sammy?" Blue asked, "How are you a psychologist?"

"I have some abilities that would allow me to help those who have ailments of the mind. And I don't mean some magical effect, but issues that you have to deal with. For instance, I can make illusions to help you face a fear or help you cope with a situation. I can even help someone say goodbye to a lost loved one to give them closure. To be clear, that would be fake. The version of the person who passed a...

Chapter 632 - Thirmal Waters

After talking with Adriel, they continued searching around for the next 3 hours. After Ariadne's Inquiry cooldown was over, they went back to the sunset room, where everyone gathered again before Hera asked the next question. That process was repeated one more time, with them finding up to the third symbol, thanks to Ariadne. It was sunset, a scroll with a fountain pen, then a pair of theater masks, one happy and one sad. With two more symbols remaining, Shane, Mylo, and Helena managed to fin...
