Runesmith: Chapter 362 – Impromptu Interview.

“There is not much left, I guess it’s not the same as hunting monsters…”

“Woof!”

‘These weapons and armor they were using were mostly made out of cheap mithril alloys, no wonder they melted so fast.’

After his victory over the platinum adventurer party, Roland was going through their equipment or more precisely, through what was left of it. The group was composed of lesser tier 3 class holders that apparently didn’t have that much money to buy proper equipm...

A continuous amount of explosions echoed through the air as the sound barrier was broken. These continuous blasts drowned out the screams of the massive flying creature that was receiving all of them. Its large body was soon parted into many smaller fragments that lit up in an azure haze. While it looked as if the monster bird’s body was gone it quickly changed into a ball of fire that sucked in the previously destroyed body parts.

“Like I’ll let you reform!”

Unforeseen Circumstances, probable delay.

I won't beat around the bush too much but a death in my family has occurred. Because of that, I will probably have to take a few days off, mostly because it was a member that lived outside of my country of residence.

I was planning to take a week or two off next month anyway but I'll have to shift that into this month depending on when the funeral will be taking place. I'm not yet sure but I just wanted to give you guys a heads-up.

That's about it, hope you all doing well. ...

“Grand Elder, the serpent is destroying the wall, it won’t hold!”

“Leave it to me!”

A massive snake with an azure pattern continued to constrict the fortress walls. Its body had wrapped itself around it multiple times as the body was not all that thick. Yet even when the thickness wasn’t much more than that of a regular tree, the scales could not be easily cut or damaged. Even when everyone was hacking and hitting the exposed parts, not more than scratches were being p...

Runesmith: Chapter 361 – Seeing Progress.

A man’s foot was turned into minced meat from a concentrated magical explosion at ground level. While taking in the pain he started wondering about the life choices that brought him here. Was he too greedy by taking on the unreasonable request of the gnome to go here? Was it the lack of other tier 3 adventurers that made him forgo the usual safety measures? Or perhaps he did not anticipate what they were going up against well enough?

He could only cry out in pain while trying not to f...

‘Hey Bob, can you tell me why this shitty thing always stops working when I really need to? This would be a lot easier if I could see where everyone is located.’

‘Unable to answer, insufficient date.’

‘Yeah, sure at least keep the scanners running and tell me if you detect anyone from the sect, even if it’s just a regular foot soldier.’

‘Affirmative.’

‘If I haven’t found anyone by now, then maybe they are all at one main location?’

“I’m not sure if we will be able to make it to your location in time, you’ve descended into the unexplored lower levels.”

“I know but this is what the situation is, I’m not sure what those people will…”

“Is something wrong, I’m not hearing…”

“I need to go, they are here.”

Roland stopped while raising his hand up. Agni after seeing it stopped in his tracks as well. The sudden stop sent the third person who was here flying forward. The gnome m...

“Honey… I don’t want to go to the elder meeting…”

“...”

“Huh?”

Zhang Dong opened up his eyes to see a cute small dragon’s head in front of him. Before he could say anything his face was assaulted by Bahamut’s tongue. His face was covered in a lot of slobber which meant that he had been out for the count for a while now.

“Aghh… stop licking me… ugh…”

While trying to push away his small dragon companion he felt pain shot through his ...

“Give it your all, he might still be alive!”

A group of old men and women along with various large creatures behind them continued to barrage a specific spot with all their ranged techniques. They stood before a large ancient gate with many chains attached from all sides. It was the only exit from this area and required a pure Long Clan bloodline to open.

It was a spot where they could teleport themselves as the passage outside was also blocked. Only with the help of the Azure...

“Watch out!”

An arrow connected with a large skeleton’s head and shattered it instantly. The monster lost its balance and fell down from the wall it was climbing. On the way, it took a few similar-looking skeletons together as there were multiple of them right behind it. All of these could be seen climbing up a sidewall of a large chamber, chasing what looked to be an adventurer party.

“Use the potion!”

“But it’s the last one…”

“It doesn’t matter, don’t let him escape from here!”

A group of people started panicking as they saw the white-haired Zhang Dong speed throughout the area. His body was surrounded by golden lightning and with each movement he created a sonic boom. Even though there were many ...

‘The one in the middle looks different than the others… is that person, not an adventurer or something?’

Roland was moving through some corridors that were luckily monster free. All the dots representing them had probably moved into the chamber containing the party of adventurers. Inside his HUD, he could see a group of five larger green dots surrounding a smaller one in the middle.

This device detected mana patterns and could also somewhat measure a person’s level. Depend...

“How are you able to defend for so long…”

“Wouldn’t you pick up a few tricks if you fought people at your level? But perhaps you never really had to struggle before in your life?”

For a while it seemed that he would lose, the quasi-immortal weapon that his opponent was using had shredded through his armor and continued to be a problem. Even though his spiritual energy was higher and he possessed more insight into various Dao’s, he was still getting pushed back. The o...

A surge of spiritual energy slithered through a white room. It took the shape of multiple lightning bolts that clashed with blue flames. Both energies filled out half of the space and continued to push against each other in a shoving match. The sources of these strange energies were sitting on a pure white gazebo that at this point in time was becoming ripped apart by these two colliding powers.

“So, did they decide on a name?”

“Yes, after some back and forth, Bernir wanted a more traditional name but Dyana didn’t like the idea. You know how those people are, even poor Bernir was shunned by them when he was younger.”

“So what did they end up with?”

“His name will be Thordrin. Apparently, there was some kind of legendary hero with a similar name who was closely related to Dyana’s tribe.”

There wasn’t much time for him to look over this pale creature as its demise was rather swift. Before the monster could even react it was turned into a walking fire. The thin skin that it was covered by quickly evaporated along with the rest of it.

A shiny orb made from silver descended quickly to the ground before suddenly slowing down to a halt. A pale blue glow glazed over it as the sphere started to travel up into the air. It traveled upwards where it came from but right at the top, the energy around it burst into many tiny fragments.

Zhang Dong saw the orb that weighed around a kilogram crashing down to the floor. While normally he would have no trouble manipulating this amount of weight wi...

Roland frowned while looking at Agni jumping around all over the place. Even though his size had increased he was more agile than ever. It wasn’t that long since he achieved his Sunlight Wolf evolution and it was clear that he wanted to have some fun with it. Having two forms that differed from each other was not something Roland c...

Time continued to pass as both factions rallied their forces. With the Long Clan’s reputation constantly falling in the wake of their actions, they could no longer rely on branch families and side sects living in the central region. The consensus that the Emperor was just using them as meat shields had become a reality.

Going against the United Element Sect was not an easy task. Previously everyone expected them to fall within a few weeks. They had proven to everyone that they were he...
