Runesmith: Chapter 268 - News spreads.

“Ugh…Damn, my head is killing me, I should have not gone with that girl…”

“Did you do it again? Didn’t I tell you to stay away from those flowery district girls, there are nothing but trouble.“

“Don’t be like that, I couldn’t refuse to get those drinks when she asked so nicely… speaking of which…”

“Don’t tell me… you want to borrow more money.”

“Just a tiny bit.”

“We just got our wages a few days ago, how are you already br...

“...”

“Patriarch?”

“Woah… don’t sneak up on me like that!”

“I apologize, Patriarch, please punish this Zhang Zhi accordingly!”

“No… it’s fine… what is the problem?”

Zhang Dong was deep in thought while Zhi approached him from the back. So much that he was startled by even someone like his retainer. The last few weeks had been nerve-wracking on his psyche. Even with the good old tranquil mind technique, he continued to worry and look ...

Runesmith: Chapter 267 - Obsidian soldiers.

Summoning existed in this world, it was a separate field from elemental magic that was considered extremely strong in the right hands. Like any other school of magic, there were variations in the techniques used. One subsection utilized ritualistic ceremonies with offerings to the being it wanted to procure. Other ones were dedicated by simple class skills, contracts, and occult sacrifices.

One thing united all of those types of summoning practices: the creature that appeared always req...

“Where are they taking us?”

“Where do you think? Probably right into a pill cauldron…”

“No, I don’t want to die! Let me go!”

“Hey, be quiet!”

A large group of prisoners was being transported before a large teleportation gate. All of them had one thing in common which was that they had been the residents of the demon city ruled by the Chaos Sect. Now that that faction didn’t exist anymore they were at the mercy of this United Element Sect that they...

US: Chapter 551

“What is troubling you?”

“Troubling me? It’s nothing, just worried about the direction the sect is heading, that's all”

“Is that it? The sect is just growing but the people revere you, maybe a little bit too much. If they only knew that their leader worried this much~”

Liena smiled while giving her husband a peck on the cheek. It was time for her to head out as the two were quite busy. Now that the danger of Wang Long had ended and their power was shown to the ...

Runesmith: Chapter 266 – Blasting away again.

“We made it laddies!”

Everyone cheered as they watched the lava swallow up the swarm of skeletons. This group of people had come from the mining camp in the mine. Everyone had somewhat expected this line of work to be dangerous but they never envisioned themselves fleeing from a small army of skeletons. Luckily a massive eruption of some sort that exploded in the middle of the lake saved them all and now their pursuers were gone.

They naturally questioned the strange explosion...

US: Chapter 550

There it was, the item that would allow him to shed this mortal body. The seed inside of him was already reacting to it. The closer he got the more the feeling inside started to burst forth. Zhang Dong knew that if he used the cube that was created from Wang Long’s soul and body then he would finally reach the immortal stage.

This was something he was afraid of actually doing, it would probably be a point of no return. The history of this place stated that whoever reached the immortal...

Runesmith : Chapter 265 – Evacuating the miners.

“This is a message from the adventurers guild, please evacuate the dungeon, a high-level tier 3 Lich has been spotted in the lava region, if you see it do not engage and move to the higher levels in an orderly fashion… I repeat a tier 3 Lich has been …”

“Huh, what is that?”

“Is that some kind of golem?”

A group of five adventurers spotted a blue spider creature quickly moving around the area. It was quite a bit away from them but the loud message that was run...

US: Chapter 549

Tiny particles of white light gently rose into the sky as Zhang Dong’s mechanical armor started to fade away. His tired face and beads of sweat became apparent as the draconic mask vanished to reveal his tired expression. He was about to fall down to the ground after overtaxing his cultivation yet a gentle hand held on to him from the side.

“Are you alright?”

“Yeah, I’m fine, just give me a moment…”

Zhang Dong smiled at his wife who gave him a shoulder to rest ...

US: Chapter 548

A change took place not to Zhang Dong’s being like when Wang Long combined with his soul beast but to the white beat-up armor. Instead of combining together into a singular being, Bahamut could enhance the prepared armament that was his full body suit.

All the scratches and dents on the silver piece of armor started mending themselves and changing color. Long gone was the bright silvery hue, it was replaced by a fully golden armor covered in scales. The change in design didn’t only ...

Runesmith: Chapter 264 – Time to evacuate.

It has been many days since it stepped foot in this strange location. The beings around it were weak but it still wanted to spend some time examining them. It was a stroke of luck but it found a hidden passage containing strange worm-like creatures. Their nesting ground was transformed into its lair and the bodies that continuously respawned were turned into flaming skeletal minions.

Yet what interested it more were the other beings that rarely came to this place. In contrast to the wor...

US: Chapter 547

The clash between the two could be felt by anyone within the vicinity. Each punch and kick caused the air to vibrate and the ground to quake. Their power had reached the apex of what this world was supposed to be able to handle.

In the background, the cultivators continued their fight. Unless one of the leaders fell in battle they would continue. It was a race against time, if one of those beings of power came up on top one of their sides would probably lose. The only hope the losing si...

Runesmith: Chapter 263 – The chase begins.

“Hey wait up… Hey! Is that thing really following us? and if it is, where are you taking us, what is this place?”

“I’ll explain later, you’ll have to trust me.”

“Trust you?”

Lobelia wanted to roll her eyes as she sprinted after the man dressed in full-body armor. To the side, she could see a ruby dire wolf running behind him and behind her were the other four party members she came with. All of them were in a daze after almost dying from the fall into the c...

US: Chapter 546

There was a giant explosion, everyone was stunned to see a massive shockwave rocking the entire outer city of demonic cultivators. Luckily everyone had already been evacuating since the first nascent soul master was spotted. Some ran for the outskirts where the poison mists didn’t reach while others went underground where there was a vast array of tunnels that could take them to a separate location.

Zhang Dong was the closest to this phenomenon. He wanted to do nothing else but to cha...

US: Chapter 545

“The enemy has no defenses, attack now, they are all demonic monsters, show them no mercy!”

Shouted out Zhang Jin who set up camp on the large floating golden palace. While his grandson Zhang Dong would like to take in prisoners he knew that it would be childish to think they wouldn’t backstab them. He was assured that a demonic cultivator could be surrounded while hiding a blade behind his back and just waiting for a chance.

Many good people had died this way and he would n...

Runesmith: Chapter 262 – Leap of faith

Before him, a strange scene that he wasn’t expecting was playing out. Normally Roland wouldn’t be able to see anything when looking up. The only reason now was a strange clearing up of the fog that mostly barred anyone from peeking through. Together with the latest enhancements to his eyesight-boosting spells, there was a tiny bit that he noticed.

There were people getting pushed against the edge of the chasm. He could not really tell who they were with his eyes but his mapping devi...

US: Chapter 544

“Do you think this changes anything?”

“I think it does but before we start I’ll give you the option to surrender. You’ll just have to relinquish the system to me, I will of course guarantee your safety.”

“Are you serious? Give away my system? Over my dead body!”

While the two leaders exchanged some quick words while the two sides clashed with each other. The appearance of Zhang Dong’s army was quite unexpected. This left the whole demonic city in a state of...

Runesmith: Chapter 261 – Helpless Adventurers

“Where the hell did these bastards come from? Why are there so many of them?”

Armand shouted while punting one of the blazing skeletal monsters away. To his dismay even though his opponent's body shattered from the powerful kick it just collided with a wall made of bones. This barrier of walking skeletons slowly closed in on them in this confined space.

“Just shut up and keep them away from the middle!”

Lobelia shouted while she and Jasmine continued firing arrows to...

US: Chapter 543

“I was just wondering when you would show up, I really didn’t expect you to try to sneak in like a total retard though. What was the plan here bruv? Were you trying to assassinate me during my introduction speech?”

“...”

Zhang Dong was surrounded by around ten nascent soul masters and multiple other demonic cultivators. Most of them were floating on swords but some were using flying ships or other treasures. Yet even with all of them here the only real problem was the ma...

US: Chapter 542

‘Good the coast is clear…’

Zhang Dong was planning to run towards the exit gate while being chased by the enraged cultivator. Yet due to him having to lower his cultivation level he wasn’t quite able to do it. Instead, he sidestepped into an empty alley where his pursuer was quickly knocked out while no one could see it.

The man was now stuck within his spatial artifact with the other servant he apprehended. Luckily for him, the idiot that was charging after him was radiat...

Runesmith: Chapter 260 – Investigating the dungeon.

“Let’s go, boy.”

“Woof!”

Just like many times before Roland and Agni sped through the now open lake of fire. In just a few minutes they were right in the middle. Thanks to Roland’s mapping system that allowed him to detect people along with monsters around here they were in almost no danger of being discovered.

Even if someone popped out now Roland would know it and just go to the other side. His map would inform him about any potential onlookers. The devices tha...

US: Chapter 541

“Liu Chen don’t you dare lose or I’ll kill you myself!”

Shouted the young master whose servant Zhang Dong was impersonating. He wanted to do nothing more than go and slap all of these kids in the face. They were all teenagers and apparently already corrupt down to their bones. He could see the glee in some of their eyes that would probably be hard to correct even if they switched factions at this very moment. Yet before he could contend with that problem he needed to first get o...

Runesmith: Chapter 259 – Family dinner.

‘Would be nice if I could make this thing more compact, maybe if I figure out tier 3 runes it will become easier.’

Roland was down in his workshop working on the large cannon that he used for his dungeon grinding. Its design had been slimmed down and he actually decided to use some better materials from within the mining area. Yet even with those to generate enough force to kill a tier 3 monster it needed to be huge.

“Not really that heavy.”

Yet even the size didn’...

US: Chapter 540

‘That should do it…’

It wasn’t easy and he wasn’t sure if his cover wasn’t already blown but the formation was prepared. He had placed a backdoor into the whole system that would allow him to destroy the formation even from outside. This should be enough to catch the Chaos Sect members off guard and shift the tide of battle if the need arises.

‘It is still too dangerous to contact the others at this stage.’

His system was still being blocked by Wang Long’s ...

US: Chapter 539

‘I should have practiced this mimic skill a bit more…’

Zhang Dong was making his way through the inner Chaos Sect while in his new disguise. This time around he was a man that looked to be around forty. In reality, this person was closer to a hundred and only a foundation establishment late stage practitioner. With his advanced age it would be quite hard to reach the core formation stage as the older a person got, the harder this became.

‘Perhaps that’s why he is only a ...

Runesmith: Chapter 258 – Young Workers.

There they were, the three children had managed to attain their first classes and their lives were somewhat set in stone. First was Jorg with a stonemason class that would just give him skills for building structures. It wasn’t that much different than Bernir�...

‘I don’t think they are expecting any trouble, the security here is worse than in some mid-sized sects.’

After spending some time in the inner city the time for the assembly of demons was upon him. While the others that came here were forced to attend it he decided to do something else. Instead of going himself, he had transformed one of the cultists into the older man he was impersonating.

The disguise was intricate and probably no one would be able to discover the foul pla...

Runesmith: Chapter 257 – Youngsters.

“Sorry, it was just a slip of the tongue…”

“What do you mean, a slip of a tongue? Do you know how long those idiots from the Inquisition delayed my own research! Why would I know anything about some devilish relics?”

“...”

Roland was just sitting there without replying to the angry-looking cat face that was shouting at him through the crystal ball. It had been some months since his return from his gold rank mission. There he let it slip that it might be worthwh...

US : Chapter 537

“Is everything ready?”

“Yes, Matriarch… but are you sure that you should be here? The Patriarch gave orders that you should remain in the main sect…”

Zhang Liena looked at a somewhat nervous-looking Zhang Kuo who wasn’t sure what to say. The lady he was talking to was not someone he could control, only her husband had the leisure to give her orders. Even the second most powerful person Huo Qiang was just shrugging while Kuo tried to seek some aid.

“I will do ...

US: Chapter 536

“The winner is… Phantom Demon…”

“If this is all then I will excuse myself. I will also offer the remains of the Crimson Fiend to the wonderful host.”

Zhang Dong in his disguise performed a little two-handed clasp while slowly removing himself from the arena. His winning came as a shock to almost everyone here and mostly to the man that looked like a snake. There was nothing he could say though as the win was achieved fair and square. Also by giving up on the blood crys...
