Chapter 627

“First things first, what is stopping you from healing yourself?” Luna asked. “You have Life Mana so whatever is stopping you is something that will need a lot of power to clear up.” 

“Nothing is stopping me from healing myself exactly.” Ajax said. “The issue is what will regrow if I do it with Life Mana.” 

“What does that mean?” Luna asked. “Are you infected with a parasite?” 

“You tell them about the werewolf bite yet?” The eldest...

Chapter 626

It didn’t take long for Ajax and Lexi to make preparations for their departure to the capital though Ajax very much enjoyed the one night he had to sleep in his own home after so many months in the Wild Lands.

“What will you do?” Silvia asked him. 

“I’m just going to get my arm fixed as well as reporting to the king.” Ajax answered. “It will take me a while to get used to the new arm, time during which I will return here. After that…” 

Ajax left t...

Chapter 625

“Seal the hoard.” Aurexion growled as they left. 

Ajax’s first instinct was to disagree but after taking a moment to think about it. “That might not be a bad idea.” he said as he looked towards the guards. “Word that I returned from the Wild Lands with dragon bond will spread fast, don’t want to risk any thieves getting ideas at least for a little while.” 

Elija only took a moment to consider the point before he agreed and Judy dashed back in to grab a nu...

Chapter 624

Judy’s thoughts stopped cold as a fight broke out over the disbelief of seeing a real life dragon warred with the reality that not only was the dragon here but it was eating their gold.

“Hey buddy,” Ajax said as he approached his bond. “See I told you we have refined gold ore.” 

“You really did remove all the rock.” Aurexion was impressed. “I heard stories of this but if my father’s horde had any of it aunt Khalysstra must have taken it.” 

“It...

Chapter 623

“Are you sure that is a wise decision?” Lancel asked as he and Ajax watched Theron lead the dragon away while slackjawed guards moved out of the way of the massive creature. “Your family will certainly be anxious to meet your bond.” 

“My family will be happy to see me.” Ajax said before nodding to his missing arm. “And very incensed at my missing arm.” 

“I still don’t see the problem.” Lancel said. “Unless your bond is the reason you lost the arm?...

Book 5 coming February 19th

Ajax just made a name for himself on the international stage by winning the under fifty tournament, now he will continue his trip outside the borders of Gryndor as he goes to delve into the Dungeons of Sylvanthal and Deepwood.

How will he get along with his former competition? How will the foreign nobles react to his presence? What about his friends all of whom are children of high ranking...

Chapter 622

Over the almost two weeks of travel Ajax and Aurexion had gotten a lot closer. Not only was the bond helping their communication but they could both feel the drive to push further in one another. Ajax had already pushed far ahead in terms of Skills where Aurexion had pushed almost beyond what is safe in terms of Stats. Now it's time to help their bond make up the difference. 

“We need to get you to one hundred Skills as well.” Ajax said with conviction after a comment Aurexion ...

Chapter 621

As Ajax and Aurexion flew off at high speed Khalysstra smiled to herself. “Just how many secrets do you have, young human, that Aurexion is in such a rush to talk to you alone about them?” 

Turning around she looked towards Ruinflare. “Thank you for your hospitality.” Her eyes flashed as she used her Legendary Skill [Mana Cycling] the Mana in her body moving, wasting none of it but all of it at the tips of her claws. “I hope you’ll keep quiet about my son’s surprising...

Chapter 620

“What do you mean I have everything I need to create a Pseudo-Mythic Skill?” Ajax all but yelled. 

“And this is why I was in such a hurry to move away.” Aurexion grumbled. “It’s not surprising that you don’t realize it, I have to say I am surprised you even know about Pseudo-Mythic Skills at all.” 

“Veyra, the sidhe I travelled with for a while, she answered a few of the questions I had about things us humanoids isolated as we were ignorant about.” Aj...

Chapter 619

A/N : Small changes made to Aurexion's Stat page, Skills flight (common) , hardened scales (Uncommon) as well as mana manipulation and draconic roar (Rare) have been added. Post is also locked for the proper tier(oops on my end there, thanks for letting me know!). dragon breath skill suggested was considered but that would be a higher rarity and would take more dedicated magic training to unlock so he doesn't have it yet.

Looking at the glowing runes Ajax knew he had to...

Chapter 618

“What?” Ajax was very worried by Khalysstra’s reaction. “Death affinity? It didn’t feel like anything else I ever saw with [Sense Mana]. Is it a Legendary affinity?” 

“It’s not just Legendary.” Aurexion answered, Ajax could feel the greed pulse through their bond. “It’s a Mythic affinity.”

“Which is why it’s so important to tell us where you found it.” Khalysstra refocused the topic. “An unrestrained font of pure Death strong enough to generate...

Chapter 617

Ajax was caught fully by surprise. Aurexion’s flaming breath was a massive hotspot of Mana that perfectly covered the twisting movement of his body as he put his whole impressive bodyweight into a tail swipe that not only knocked Ajax out but crushed more than a few bones as it sent him crashing into the ground.

“Must you have done that?” Khalysstra huffed, irritated at her nephew, as she took on a humanoid shape to heal Ajax. 

Unlike her nephew Khalysstra was much more...

Chapter 616

Khalysstra P.O.V.

Looking at Ajax and Aurexion squaring up I couldn’t help the worry I felt. Ajax was taking a moment to get used to the new gauntlet I had made for him. The enchantments should help direct Mana better and help him move it properly giving him that extra bit of leeway with [Spell Direction] so that he can more seamlessly incorporate it into his fighting style. 

Him clearing a level one hundred and twenty floor on his own however is a great achievement. Lookin...

Chapter 615

A/N : Happy new year everyone. Here's to another good year!

“The reason you were looking for me?” Ajax asked, surprised to hear that the dragons had been looking for him. 

“We dragons are solitary beings, but with an ego and pride that leaves us open to manipulation.” Khalysstra said. “The thing about that pride however is that it is a pride not in ourselves as individuals but in ourselves as dragons.” 

“Most Ascended races understand...

Chapter 614

Khalysstra had been shocked to see that Ajax had actually made the dungeon destabilize even if it was only for a moment. She had stayed outside of Ruinflare’s territory but close enough to keep an eye on the dungeon. She hadn’t reached it before Ajax had entered but she was pretty sure the sidhe were waiting for him to exit. Something she was proven right when she saw Ruinflare square up against them to shield Ajax. 

Now that Ajax was outside the dungeon there was no need to wa...

Bestiary Interlude : Dragon

Race Type : Ascended

Defining ability : Hoard

Dragons are naturally greedy towards items of high Mana density, especially metals. By hoarding and slowly eating them during bouts of hibernations dragons can permanently increase their Stats. Different Stats can be targeted for increase by eating specific treasures.

While Hoard is among the strongest Stat gain racial abilities known it is also one of the slowest taking centuries to work. Furthermore a dragon’s sanity can star...

Chapter 613

Ajax P.O.V.

As I stepped through the arch to exit the dungeon I didn’t feel the smooth transition I was used to as I moved from inside the dungeon to the outside. Instead for a moment I felt myself suspended, in an ocean of Mana that was pulling at me. The feeling didn’t last and just as soon as it came it went away and I was outside the dungeon, more disoriented than anything else.

My lack of awareness came into play right away as my field of vision was filled with the large ...

Bestiary Interlude : Elemental Hawk

Race Type : Ascended

Defining ability : Elemental rebirth

Elemental hawks are born with one element evident in the color of their plumage as well as the Mana Aspect Skill, their first element is of the Rare variety though exceptions for Epic can happen depending on the parents. Upon reaching full maturity the elemental hawk is given the option of being reborn all Skills reset to level 1 though they are maintained and level is reset to level one but the elemental hawk gains another...

Chapter 612

A/N : Merry Christmas!

As much as Ajax wanted to use Life Mana and see if he could regrow his arm he knew he didn’t have the time, let alone the Mana for it. A quick application of Magma stopped the bleeding and would hopefully not be too bad of a fix that would hinder him from regrowing the arm later.

Ajax didn’t have time to consider any of the implications of the werewolf change in his arm. A brief hope in the back of his head that he could simply regrow hi...

Chapter 611

While he recovered from the fight with the troll Ajax also took the time to use some of the reagents he brought with him into the dungeon to make a small variety of poisons. The necrotic poison he had already made plenty of would be invaluable to finish the fight but at the start it wouldn’t be doing much since the troll’s regeneration would nullify it. 

Ajax didn’t bother with any hemorrhagic poison for the same reason the necrotic one wouldn’t help. He did however make a ...

Chapter 610

Ajax spent a couple hours using [Meditation] to regenerate his Mana and Stamina before he went hunting for the floor boss. During that entire time Ajax had tried his best to learn as much as he could from the remnants of the broken staff. 

“None of the runes work anymore.” Ajax was sure about that, the connection was broken, that wasn’t to mention the about six inch section that was shattered into fragments when he actually broke the thing. “But this is beyond valuable.”&...

Chapter 609

Over the next two weeks Ajax tried everything he could think of to see if he could handle his werewolf arm short of cutting it off. He used Holy Mana, he tried Light Mana, Life Mana, he even tried scorching it and healing it back with Life Mana yet nothing worked. Not only that but Ajax had also dealt with a variety of more stand alone undead besides the Shadow assassins. Thankfully all of the other varieties were physically focused additions to the scouting patrols he was regularly killing.<...

Chapter 608

An entire week of fighting is how long it took before Ajax cleared the entire jungle surrounding the ziggurat. That wasn’t to say he was safe in the jungle, just that there were no more animals left wandering around as far as he could tell. There were still the occasional groups of cultists that went and left but Ajax had gotten much better at ambushing them. 

The one downside of so much practice was that the difficulty of the fights had dropped significantly from when he was sti...

Chapter 607

Now that the fight was over Ajax had many other things he needed to focus on. First and foremost was the fact that he could now use [Spell Direction]. But also on how to deal with any of the stronger possible Aztec legends that he might find on the floor now considering that it was over level on hundred and the creatures could become more complex. 

“I hope the floor boss doesn’t end up being something Aztec.” Ajax whispered to himself though he did feel a bit better knowing t...

Chapter 606

Ajax was barely standing on his feet as he arrived on the new floor and was hit with a much higher Mana density. The jump in level went from the high eighties to one hundred and twenty and Ajax was very happy with the result as he [Mana Syphon] worked to refill his Mana pool. 

Instead of moving to do anything Ajax simply took a close look at his surroundings before he  slipped into the closest shadow to himself and then started to flood his body with as much Life Mana as he co...

Chapter 605

Verya was starting to get really uncomfortable. For the last week and a half she had awkwardly focused on improving her Skills. Ajax wasn’t the only one to get some inspiration from watching his recent traveling companion fight. 

“What are you doing?” Eduin asked her for what had to be the tenth time but she continued to ignore him. 

The young sidhe was beyond bored, a week and half of just staring at a dungeon arch was getting to be too much for him. It didn’t h...

Chapter 604

Ajax felt an icy shiver rise up his spine as he heard the howl. Out of all the things it could be a werewolf was one of the worst possibilities. Not so much because of the individual power of the floor boss, though that was also an issue, it was its behaviour that troubled Ajax the most. Werewolves didn’t wander the floor randomly, they actively hunted their prey. The howl he heard was the wolf getting his scent. It was now only a short matter of time until the floor boss caught up with him...

Chapter 603

On the second floor of the dungeon Ajax couldn’t be happier to see a sun moving in the sky. He had timed it and it seemed to go through an eight hour day and four hour night cycle which worked perfectly for Ajax to train his new casting style without overstressing his Mana channels.

The problems for Ajax however became pretty clear on day one now that he was fighting monsters that were around the same level as him. Even if he did dwarf them in stats Ajax now needed multiple spells to ...

Chapter 602

Now that he was inside the dungeon Ajax could finally drop his guard a little. It might not be wise to do so inside a dungeon but he was pretty sure there was nothing on this first floor that would be of any threat to him, in fact he was decently sure only the final floor he completed would pose any threat to him and that was if he was to activate the obelisk.

“First things first let's investigate this floor, clear up an area around me and then get some sleep.” Ajax nodded to himsel...

Chapter 601

Ajax was pleased with his haul. He had only managed to actually grab only two Mana dense objects before they made it to the territory of the elemental hawk but he made some great progress in the three fights he had along the way. The battle against the snake devourer was especially rewarding and difficult.

“How social are elemental hawks?” Ajax asked Verya. “Will there be only one if we actually run into him or do they share their space like you sidhe do?”

“There should ...
