Chapter 603 - Abyssia

Going beyond that first set of houses, the party started to explore the city. First, the buildings that were close to the docks where they arrived. Those structures looked like houses with something else in the mix. Some seemed to be barracks or hotels, while others were just homes with some extra rooms that maybe could be used for storage. One interesting thing they found out was that the triton here seemed to use something close to a hammock for beds. But instead of it being open, they coul...

Chapter 602 - The depths of the abyss

After everyone jumped into their own Flying Slime Fish, they started their descent. Unlike what one would see in normal oceans, even with the sun high in the sky, the water was pitch black. Not because of some coloration to it or anything like that, but because the surface was so reflective that light was mostly unable to pierce through the mirror-like layer that faced the sky. Another thing that was easily noticeable was the cold. In the raft, even when they were being protected by the bubbl...

Chapter 601 - Naga Journal

##### Author's Note #####

Hey everyone! I forgot one thing about the last chapter.

And that was to thank everyone for being here! I mean, 600 chapters is A LOT.

Just to give some context that's around 4900 pages.
The lord of the rings (all 3 books) is around 1200 pages.
All harry potter books combined should be about 4200 pages.
And we are even beyond that. I honestly can't even understand those numbers right now lol. So thank you all so much. Without you,...

Chapter 600 - Preparation

##### Author's Note #####

Hey everyone, I tried a new thing with the status screen this time. Now I'll mark the changes as (+ number), indicating how much that skill changed from the previous time that the screen showed up. let me know if you like that change in the comments!

According to Shane, going to Abyssia would be dangerous, and using Yarnball, Hera was able to ask how strong they should be to be safe down there. The first few questions she mad...

Chapter 599 - Betrayal

"Dao, you're up. Show us what you got," Hera smiled and stepped back.

"Can I leave now?" Lurize asked. He was gasping for air, even if he wasn't able to breathe. Parts of his armor were singed while others were frozen, but his shape was still holding strong. If this were when he first became the Royal Tutor, he would already have lost his bipedal form. But now, five months later, his Exoarmor skill ranked up a couple of times. The main reason for that was the way they were training. Acc...

Chapter 598 - Shane's Turn

Hera walked Shane to the house where she was going to call the guide. Despite her friend saying that there was no need for it, the Empress wanted to use her Soundproof Bubble just in case.

"So? Any advice before I start?" Shane asked.

"Not really. I think you will have fun. Do you have your questions ready?"

"I do. I'm going to ask about when the next doorway is going to come through. I know it's a big ask, but I don't think we will ever have enough mana for you to ask Yarnb...

Chapter 597 - Gift

Later that evening, sometime after dinner, when Hera was on the balcony on the second floor looking at the sky, Daskka said, "By the way. When we completed the dungeon, almost every member of the court became eligible for a gift. Only one at a common rarity, though. The only ones that still can't get one are Lurize and Edge. Lurize takes longer since he is a titled blade, and Edge didn't do enough to get it. Not that he didn't do anything, but the others ended up helping more in the fight. Ed...

Chapter 596 - Post Game Analysis

##### Author's Note #####

Hey everyone! First of all, I want to apologize for the delay in today's chapter. I was doing it last night, but my allergies were killing me, and between all the meds and the sneezing, I reached a point where I wasn't able to think full sentences, much less write them down. So I had to throw the towel and go to bed without finishing it up.
My plan was to sleep for a bit and wake up around noon (my time) to finish the chapter and post it with just 3-4 hours ...

Chapter 595 - Theory of the past

Sometime after arriving at the house, Alex and Adriel made some food for everyone. The elf had stopped by the fishing dungeon and caught quite a haul for the party, but despite his best intentions, that only made them all upset.

"Why the hell would you even try that? Do you want to die?" Hera asked.

"Yeah. Even if it worked, do you think you could have survived if the monsters showed up? As far as I know, most dungeons don't scale with the number of people that are inside," Shane ...

Chapter 594 - What went wrong with the world?

With the Proto Slime gone, the group collapsed to the floor. Everyone was exhausted and hurt from all the fighting. Hera's court even asked to be dismissed, since most of them were tired or injured. Especially Nimbus and Lurize, it was clear that just staying in their bipedal form was a struggle for the titled blades at the moment. There were so many cuts and parts of broken armor around their bodies that any person would have bled out by now. That weighed on Hera's heart, but she knew her pl...

Chapter 593 - Slime Net

Hera still had a wound on her leg. Lurize had a broken gauntlet. Helena and Blue had cuts all over their bodies, and Shane struggled to move around after being slammed by the Proto Slime's arm. The only two who were in good shape were Nimbus and Mylo, who, so far, were able to deal with everything without getting hit. Yet, the monster they were facing had changed. It was like phase 2 of a video game boss. It went from a bipedal form to this weird net of a creature. However, now everyone could...

Chapter 592 - Final Boss

After the cube was gone, it left behind two things. A small gold bar worth 10 thousand gold and a mana crystal that could store up to 10 million points of mana, but when using the mana inside it, there was a 2% chance that the remaining mana inside would dissipate. Still, since it would happen after using the mana, the party could make some good use of that item.

"Is everyone ok? Hera, do you need some time?" Helena asked.

"No. I'm ok. It didn't hurt that much. I just lost a lot o...

Chapter 591 - Magic Cube

Going over the liquid wasn't that difficult, even with the mess that the pool noodle created. Shane simply enchanted the air to push the sticky goo to the side and clear a path for everyone. Surprisingly, even with all the splashing around, not a single drop fell closer to the group. No one was entirely sure if that was just luck or if this was a part of the dungeon layout. Either way, people moved around the sticky goo without a problem and followed this new path that was their only current ...

Chapter 590 - Invaders

####### Author's Notes #######

Sorry for the delay everyone. I let the discord know, but I had issues with my internet last night and couldn't schedule the chapter on time. Now things are back. Again Sorry for the delay, but it was out of my control x.x

"So? What are you waiting for? I've already told you everything I could. What more do you need? Go do your job!" Jadas shouted with an annoyed expression.

"Can I punch him?" Blue whispered ...

Chapter 589 - Strange Lab

When morning came, Hera and the others had a quick meal before the entire party, including Bonnie and Alex, went to the dungeon's location. It was inside one of the large warehouse-like structures. The researcher and the assassin were going alone just for moral support. Bonnie still wasn't able to move around very well, and going inside a dungeon where they could be attacked wasn't something she was willing to do. Truth be told, she never said that Alex couldn't go, but the assassin knew that...

Chapter 588 - Restfull Night

After her two titled blades walked away, Hera looked back to the house that had a hole in the wall. This place survived unscathed for who knows how long, and now she was part of the reason why it had broken. That wasn't a good feeling, but then again, it wasn't like there was much she could do about it. She didn't have any spells to fix this, nor the knowledge on how to do so. Maybe she could ask Lodi later to fix that area when no one was around. Or maybe there was a supply closet with mater...

Chapter 587 - It's time to duel

Just before the duel started, Hera opened Lurize's status to see what he could do. To her surprise, a whopping 350 attribute points were available to distribute. Weirded by the number, she turned to Daskka for answers.

'That's the number of points he got during the time he stayed with you. Every blade has that, but only when they get a title do we know what the number of points they would get is. It's supposed to be close to the number of points you got from your level-ups from then to ...

Chapter 586 - Accolade

##### Author's Note #####

Sorry for the delay everyone. I forgot to hit the save button when I was setting up this chapter x.x  Hopefully it won't happen again, but know me, who knows lol

######################

After accepting being bound to Mr. Beetle, Hera tried changing a few of her spells to venom instead of poison. It took her a few tries, but eventually, she managed to get it working. Even better, when she used a venom needle, Mr. Beetle himself would appear on t...

Chapter 585 - Spirit Bound

"Hera? Are you ok?" Blue asked. The Empress was quiet for a while already, and her expression kept changing from excitement to confusion rapidly. 

"Yeah… No, yeah, I'm fine… This is just… a lot," Hera replied, still shell-shocked.

"Really? You got something that good?" Bonnie asked.

Hera nodded, "Let me start with the easy one. This…" she raised her hand and showed the changes that happened with her bracelet itself had changed. It was no longer brown, but now a ...

Chapter 584 - It has to be a dream

Hera moved through the cave as quickly as she could in her current state. Almost all of her body was wounded to various degrees. Her legs were still fine, but her feet hurt like hell after all the running around. Her waist was ok, but her stomach was bleeding, and she was sure some of her organs had ruptured. Everything else above was just a mess, from the shattered ribs to the dislocated arm and the bleeding ears. Still, she reached the deepest part of the cave and sat down. She couldn't hea...

Chapter 583 - Who rules over a King

Hera held Mr. Beetle in one of her hands while sprinting at full speed. Anything labeled as 'King' of any place should be a strong monster, and just by the looks of it, that leopard was no slouch. During the quick moment that the Empress saw it, she noticed how muscular the creature was and how the tail would make it as if she was fighting against two monsters at the same time. The main body and the tail seemed to be able to move independently from each other.  Not to mention, if the ent...

Chapter 582 - Welcome to the Jungle

##### Author's Note #####
Happy new year's everyone! Hope you all have a great change of year and that 2023 is a bit less crazy than 2022

Also - Forgot to put this in the last chapter

Had the beetle fight to be decided on the dice Rolled a d20 two times. One to decide the what would happen in the fight and the second to see if the elder could get a second wind

The first move was a 16 for the young one and a 8 for the elder.

The second part was a...

Chapter 581 - Survival of the Fittest

It was a lush forest with dense vegetation. Almost all the trees were covered in vines rising high into the sky. On the ground, the bushes, the grass, and the flowers fought with each other, competing to reach the small pockets of sunlight that broke through the thick canopy. The Double Eared Bunnies rushed off as the snarl of a Blue Spotted Leopard indicated his approach. Most of the jungle recognized this feline as its king, or at least, this part of the jungle did. The leopard continued wa...

Chapter 580 - Naga Temple

Hera and Shane spent a couple of hours translating the writing on the wall. The Blessing Ceremony seemed to be a religious prayer of sorts, not a spell that would make something. Another interesting thing was that it was supposed to be performed by a single person at a time. Everything else looked like the crazed ramblings that should be written in a journal. The biggest problem they were having was identifying the actual words used in that writing. Shane had to take a picture of everything w...

Chapter 579 - Flying Serpent

Hera knew that the rest of the party would be arriving soon, and she had no reason to think that Lodi was lying about this place being safe. Despite that, she went outside to check what was going on in the city. A paranoid part of her still wanted to confirm those things. Not to mention that she wasn't exactly in the mood to see Alex right as they landed. In the end, the assassin was right. They all got here without any problems, so her use of the curse worked, but at the same time, Hera didn...

Chapter 578 - The sky city

Following Bonnie and Alex, the group arrived in what looked like a massive hangar, but that was only on the inside. On the outside, the place only looked like a cluster of cabins side by side. Even the doors were there. However, after trying out one of them, Hera realized they were fake doors. They could still be opened, but behind them was just a wooden wall.  

Inside the actual hangar, there were a few odd sculptures, if they could be called that. They looked like fish with very ...

Chapter 577 - Town Hall

The center of the raft was filled with hundreds of cabins close to each other. And it looked like a few of the cabin doors had been removed and replaced by a heavy steel mesh, which allowed air in but kept out anything larger than an insect. On top of the mesh were several layers of metal that also prevented people from getting inside easily. It was hard to tell why that was the case, and coming up with theories seemed counterproductive. The most confusing part was that those metal spikes and...

Chapter 576 - Searching the floatilla

"For starters. Please answer yes or no unless I ask you to elaborate on a question," Hera made sure not to phrase it as a question. She didn't want to start the timer prematurely. For now, it was still marking two and a half minutes. Every single interaction with the guides was like that. Only when the first question was asked that the clock would start ticking.

"Got it. It's a nice way to do things," Lodi smiled.

"To start, then, is there a way to get to the flying city from the ...

Chapter 575 - A deal

"Are… are you ok?" Lodi asked after a very long pause. She kept holding the pose that entire time, but now she was getting worried.

"Yeah… yeah, I am. Sorry, it was just… unexpected. Your entrance, I mean," Hera blinked a few times, trying to get her head in the game.

"Oh. Was it bad? I thought it was a good magical girl transformation," Lodi looked down, feeling a bit silly.

"No, no. It was great. I think… Honestly, it's been a long time since I saw a magical girl s...

Chapter 574 - Second Meeting with a Guide

"Do you want to talk about it?" Hera asked as she and Blue set up the makeshift kitchen outside the cabin with some cooking supplies Shane and Mylo found during the day. It was a large stone support with some dry wood to fuel the fire. Besides that, a few iron slabs were also used as a grill. Having those things could help a lot since making the fire on the raft floor was dangerous. Blue had already created the storm barrier around them, and Hera placed some monster-repellent stones on the pe...
