Chapter 918.

The weak rustle of leaves formed a tranquil song as the silence stretched on, even though the plants in the inner courtyard had died out eons ago. Replacing the plant-life was a thick layer of ashy dust. It created a paradoxical environment - the utter desolation of eternal autumn mixed with the fresh winds of spring. Fifty by fifty meters, boxed in by ancient stones and an anthracite sky. Emily only had two things for company; her thoughts and the tattered banner hanging from the stele.

Chapter 917.

Bastard.

Ogras watched the two social outcasts walk in pace, and it was hard to tell who was more uncomfortable. Zac wore it plainly on his face, but Ogras could almost hear the gears turning in the head of that sheltered lass. They looked like a teenage couple full of hormones and awkward love. Double-bastard.

He’d spent ten years in this godforsaken realm with not a woman as far as the eye could see. All the while, this guy was living it up while pretending otherwise. The more...

Chapter 916.

The familiar voice felt like a cold shower, if that cold shower was made from scorching flames. Zac prayed he’d gone mad and it was just an auditory hallucination, but the excitement from the flames still burning within his body wasn’t a great sign. The next moment, the embers actually poured out from his cells, while the same thing happened to Ogras.

They all flew toward the same destination; the woman who calmly stood just ten meters behind them in front of a backdrop of primordia...

Chapter 915.

A/N: Release schedule for July has been added to the pinned post. The short of it is that it'll be the same deal as this month; 4 editing days in the middle of the month.

----------------

The sky, which had previously been overcast and dull, was now illuminated by a radiant golden orange. However, the scene was localized to Zac's surroundings, as though an empyrean sun was trying to peek through the clouds. Of course, with the immense aura coming ...

Chapter 914.

Zac looked up at the viewing deck far above. It was odd to see himself and the others up there, even though everyone was already gathered behind the gates. Their counterparts were illusions made by a few of the Gnivelings, which would hopefully give them a slight edge for the upcoming battle. The closer they could get to the invaders without notice, the greater the element of surprise.

"Everyone ready?" Leyara asked and got nods of affirmation all around.

Altogether, fifteen of th...

No chapter today.

Unfortunately no chapter today. It's Midsummer here in Sweden, and I had hoped to finish today's chapter before heading out. But with yesterday's delay, I simply couldn't get it done.

So today's chapter will be released tomorrow instead, sorry for the inconvenience.

Chapter 913.

"The Left Imperial Palace?" Leyara said with large sorrowful eyes. "And here I thought you had finally come to profess your love before riding off into battle. What a disappointment."

"Be serious," Zac said.

This was a long-overdue discussion. The two of them had danced around the subject for weeks, but Zac needed some clarity before setting off for the Ra'Lashar Kingdom.

"Who said I wasn't?" Leyara winked, but her expression soon returned to normal. "I know you have a lot o...

Chapter 912.

A knock echoed from the half-opened door to Zac's study, prompting him to look up from the Book of Duality.

"Already?" Zac sighed as Pretty Peak walked inside.

"Apparently, we only have around five days," Pretty nodded. "If you want enough time to figure out a solution over there, we have to make our move soon. And the sooner we get going, the more energy will be left for Gemmy."

"Thought we had just over a week," Zac grunted.

"Sorry, but we don't have a lot of options...

Chapter 911.

Nothing was ever easy in the Multiverse, at least not for those without strength or backing. And in a chaotic scene like the one they found themselves in, Zac wasn’t surprised to hear there were some roadblocks to Billy’s ambitious plan.

“What will happen when this array is turned on?” Zac asked Billy, who clearly wasn’t keeping up with the conversation.

“Ah,” Billy hesitated. “Gemmy will come with Billy and leave?”

“It’s not quite that easy,” Leyara ...

Chapter 910.

It was Leyara Lioress who had just shouted Vai’s name as she rushed toward them from across the fort, each step rippling with space as she was propelled forward. She looked just like the last time they met, apart from the revealing garments she wore in the Base Town being replaced by a dress more in line with the long white robes most of the Void Gate nuns wore.

Leyara’s aura was surprisingly condensed, and Zac realized that Vai might have been generous when she placed Ogras at the ...

Chapter 909.

The explosion released from the Spatial Barrier surrounding Billy's expanded forward in a straight line. Every second, it grew thousands of meters longer, and it had already left the army behind as it made its way toward Zac and his two companions.

"This is a bad idea," Ogras muttered as he slunk out of Zac's grip, though he still kept pace. "You can't trust that fool of a Realm Spirit to know what it's doing."

An ominous ripple spread through the spatial beam, as if cursed by the...

Chapter 908.

"The Kingdom Of Ra'Lashar? What the hell are they doing over there?" Zac frowned.

"Nothing good, I assume," Ogras said.

"Are you sure there's nothing left there?" Zac asked.

"Shouldn't be," Ogras said, but he didn't look too confident. "After my quest there finished, the whole thing collapsed. A Spatial Rift swallowed the central tower. I searched the area for months for anything of value before moving on to other parts of the realm. But if they found something powerful left...

Chapter 907.

The trio didn’t waste any time as they pushed deeper into the Badlands, and Zac couldn’t help but marvel at the environment even if there were a lot of misgivings in his heart. Enormous calcified trees in pink and blue towered toward the sky, their branches homes to scaled beasts with four wings.

The occasional rumble heralded golemoid beasts that migrated between lakes to extract minerals. The lakes themselves were kettles of puttering death which hid gorgeous flowers in green and ...

Chapter 906.

"Killed Billy's pet?" Zac said with confusion. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"The pillar, genius," Ogras snorted. "What else would cause a whole world to suddenly get sick?"

Zac froze before glancing toward the mountain range in the distance. By now, the pillar was barely discernible, but he still remembered the madness barely held in check by the nine sigils. He also remembered how the pillar not only pierced the sky but had also dug into the depths of the earth.

W...

Chapter 905.

"You're immune!" the lipless cultivator screamed with shock and confusion written all over his face.

Zac didn't bother answering; his attention rather focused on a surprising shift in one of his skills. The next moment, three sharp twangs echoed out as deep wounds were carved into the Hegemon. It was the finishing blow of [Blighted Cut]that had suddenly become available thanks to [Arbiter of the Abyss]. It allowed for instant judgment, and the Hegemon w...

Chapter 904.

A/N: Sorry for the delay, I'd forgotten it was Sweden's National Day and I was invited for some celebrations.

-------

The fleshy armor around the lipless infiltrator writhed and pulsated like a stygian horror. Even then, he looked at Zac like he was the monstrosity as Zac completed a transformation of his own. Muscles and bones creaked and groaned until Zac was...

Chapter 903.

The world twisted, and Zac suddenly sensed hundreds of powerful auras all around him. Ogras had done exactly what he'd asked – teleported him into the middle of the infiltrator squad. The demon had even left behind a shroud of haze that would give him a slight edge in the ambush, and Zac wasted no time as he swung his axe.

The grey world around him lit up with sanguine luster as he activated not only the skills of [Verun's Bite], but also a few of his own. 2022-06-03 18:35:52 +0000 UTC View Post
