Runesmith: Chapter 245 – Hastening the process.

“That should do it…”

Finally, after many hours of work, his battle hammer was mostly ready. After wedging the shaft into the hammer-head, it was mostly complete. By utilizing some more advanced techniques the shaft would expand at the top slightly for a tight fit. This weapon was closer in shape to a polearm but it was much bulkier to accommodate its user's enhanced strength.

The face of the hammer had a more traditional war-hammer shape, while the rear end consisted of a sp...

“We from the Onyx Moon Sect greet the honorable senior. Our Patriarch, the great Demon of Immolation, sends his regards and hopes that you will enjoy your stay in our little city.”

‘They do like their extravagant names here, don’t they?’

Zhang Dong was hovering a bit above ground while looking at the group of kneeling cultivators. They were doing their utmost effort to accommodate him. It was the usual, never speaking out without getting permission or directly looking in...

Runesmith: Chapter 244 – Something for smashing.

“Come in.”

“Lord Arthur.”

A smiling cat maid named Mary went into the city lord’s office. The door was opened by an armored man that she was familiar with as always. On the inside, the usual sight of Arthur Valerian buried under piles of papers greeted her. Mary could only give out a sigh while going for a stack of papers that was blocking her way.

“Mary, please don’t move those documents. I'm not finished with them.”

She could only give out a sigh whil...

‘What are you doing Meifen? If we bring this demonic master back with us, he could destroy the whole sect!’

‘But grandfather, we were unable to retrieve the treasure from the sunken temple, if we return as this the grand elder will use us as fuel for the next ritual. It’s better if we use this old monster and escape…’

‘You’re playing with fire my granddaughter but I can’t deny the truth in your words…’

‘...’

“J-junior greets the great s-senior…”

A group of terrified demonic cultivators were looking at a true monster. The man had swooped in and killed more than one Leviathan that could destroy a whole armada of ships. Then opened up the sea to reveal the secret island they were trying to reach to eradicate some strange other sea creatures.

For some reason, he took interest in the little ship of theirs and the weak cultivators on it, which normally didn’t bode well. Such beings ...

Runesmith: Chapter 243 – Time for hammer.

“Level 129, it’s close to 130…”

Roland muttered to himself while looking at his status screen which hasn’t changed much since his last level up. His new tier 2 Runic Engineer class hasn’t seen much use since he got it and it was only level 4 and soon to be 5. Due to all the work, he did prepare the new runic items he was gaining experience but not at a rate that would matter.

There were a few skills that he acquired that had gone through rapid growth. His Stress Resist...

‘I can’t just leave them to die…’

Zhang Dong looked at the giant creature rising out from the depths. The people on the ship were clearly from a demonic clan or sect. They called the creature a leviathan and it was at about the power level of a middle stage nascent soul master.

Even though they were supposedly ‘evil’ cultivators, he also spotted a few people that weren’t that tainted. The people that lived in these lands were just a product of their environment, the ...

Ruensmith: Chapter 242 – Fiddling with divine runes.

“Ugh…”

“Boss, your eyes, there is blood coming out of them.”

“Don’t worry I’m fine, give me a moment.”

Roland poured a red recovery potion on his face to make his vision recover. This coupled with a mending spell that had been inscribed on a metallic wand quickly nursed him back to health.

“Maybe ye should take a break, I know that the deadline is in a day but ye must watch your health, what if the missus finds out?”

“I’m fine, also I’...

“We shouldn’t 'ave come here, this was a mistake…”

A grizzled old man with a dark tan looked at a monstrous tentacle rising out of the sea and pulling his ship down. The massive storm was already a big problem but then the sea creatures were agitated.

“Captain, you said that this wouldn’t happen, were the blood crystals not enough? ”

“Shut yer mouth, the sea has been actin' strange these months, somethin' got the creatures spooked, me ship shall remain hidden...

“Emperor, there is a matter we must bring your attention to!”

“Huh? Can’t it wait? Can’t you see that busy?”

Three elders were looking at a lazy Azure Emperor that was resting his head on his wife's thighs while she continued to feed him some grapes. To the side were two lovely-looking women just fanning them with large fans. It was a strange scene as it was all happening in the throne room where some people were already kneeling down.

“So you’re just going t...

Runesmith: Chapter 241 – Back in the workshop.

“Wayland?”

A concerned Elodia looked at the unused bedroom before calling out to Roland. Without knowing if someone was listening in she had to stick to his pseudonym. It was clear to her that he had not used his bedroom to sleep which could mean a few things. Yet before she could investigate further the disembodied voice of the house owner sounded out.

“I’m in the workshop, is it already time for breakfast? … I could probably use a break, I’ll be there in a few minute...

US: Chapter 513

“How could this be…”

“Hah, the Emperor is dead, now it’s finally going to be my turn!”

“Was that monster truly defeated? … Hey, what are you doing?”

Phallusius Maximus had appeared like a comet and left the stage just as quickly. To the demi-human's surprise, the undefeated monster that had remained their leader for centuries was gone. No tears were shed for him, instead, this was a chance for the tribe leaders that remained alive to rise to the top.

...

Runesmith: Chapter 240 – Time to get to work.

‘Should I take more?’

“Are you finished Mr. Wayland?”

“Ah, give me a minute…”

Roland had been going around the auction house storage facility. It reminded him of the last tier 2 class change quest that he had been through not so long ago. There was a lot of useless clutter but some of the items would hasten his research.

At this very moment, he was looking at a simple orb that looked like a giant pearl. When injecting it with his mana the orb started givi...

US: Chapter 512

“That looks like a giant meteor…”

Up in the sky above him, he could see a small speck of red. When using his enhanced eyes to zoom in the tiny object turned into a massive rock formation that was above a kilometer in diameter. The demi-human Emperor had decided to drop this thing on him without worrying about his own people. If this huge object collided with the ground a large portion of demi-humans would be affected as well.

‘Has he lost his mind?’

It wasn’t rea...

“Wait…wait…!”

“Have you realized that you are not a match for me? It’s too late to turn back, your fate has already been decided and it's to become a head on my wall.”

“No, that’s not it… your name is Phallusius … Maximus?”

Zhang Dong asked while having difficulty keeping a straight face. After all this time he thought that he had gotten used to the strange names in this world, but this one caught him off guard. The huge muscular man looked super seri...

Runesmith: Chapter 239 – Deadline.

“Please follow me, Mr. Wayland.”

Roland nodded while going through the gate of the mansion where the city lord was living. The first thing that he noticed is that the number of soldiers had increased. They were wearing the usual armor and weapons that would probably not be all that great against anything than other humans.

Most of them were holding spears with a couple also having a side blade strapped to the side. From what he could tell, Arthur was starting to expand his per...

“Bahamut!”

Zhang Dong pointed out with his sword to order his familiar. The large golden dragon opened up that large maw to produce a stream of heated energy. It flew towards the large demi-human Emperor with the intention to drown him in hot divine flames. Yet, before they collided with the target they were smacked away to the side by a large cleaver.

This large weapon was probably as thick as a human and this person was wielding two of them around. The moment the stream of h...

Runesmith: Chapter 238 – The first patient.

“So, how about the two of us grab some brew after we are finished here?”

“Some brew? Do you want to discuss the scripture of the radiant lady with me? How about you come to the sermon and pray with me then, Mr. Armand?”

“I uh… sermon?”

‘I didn’t think that I'd see Armand ever be dejected when talking to a woman…’

Roland along with a few other people were looking at Armand’s facade crumbling. They had come here to get checked up but he could not ...

‘They are really putting up a defensive effort this time around…’

The invasion of the United Element Sect continued into the lands that the demi-humans took over. It was a strange feeling for Zhang Dong that usually was the one on the defensive, there weren’t many times when he was the aggressor.

After they had managed to clear out the wyverns and their leader they continued to push deeper to the north. There they encounter more varied demi-human resistance. After the flyi...

“Push them back! Don’t let them reach the ships!”

“They are unable to get through our formations, attack and kill them all!”

The ground exploded along with the demi-human that was trying to run away from a large fleet. Instead of the maddened charges into their enemies, the invaders were finally retreating. The ground they walked on was quickly becoming barren and devoid of any life as the constant cannon fire riddled it with massive holes.

Yet, some of them were u...

Runesmith - Chapter 237 – Flexing?

“Why don’t you just give up? No reason to be shy about your true feelings, I’ll be sure to take care of you well~”

Armand winked at the woman that was standing on the other side of this training ground. While she wasn’t quite his type it didn’t take much to get him going. He was sure to strike a gallant pose to show off his muscles that had grown since he reached his second tier 2 class.

“What’s wrong with your head, you’ve been spouting nonsense the entire time!...

US: Chapter 507

“Is that all of them?”

“No Patriarch, we are getting more support than we had previously assumed.”

“Oh? Did they send more of their elders than we expected or replaced them with inferior members from their ranks instead?”

Zhang Dong was hovering up in the air along with Zhang Kuo. Below him was a temporary encampment filled out with tents and various abodes that had spatial technology. This was the area where they decided to gather all of the troops from other se...

Runesmith: Chapter 236 – Checkup.

“Stay still boy, this isn’t going to take long.”

“Awoof!”

“I didn’t know that he would be afraid of healing magic that much, I’ll hold him down…”

Roland had to go down to one knee and keep Agni steady while Kassia performed her healing spell. Surprisingly the large dire wolf had a fright of divine magic, perhaps it was some kind of innate fear as he was still a monster. Luckily Roland was able to hold him down until the priest was done with her spell.

“An emissary from the United Element Sect has arrived?”

“Yes, Patriarch.”

“Did they say what they want?”

“No, they proclaimed that it's an important letter from their leader.”

“From that man? … Let him in, everyone be silent, do not antagonize the messenger, we can’t allow anyone to irritate the message-bearer, if they carry the official word of their Patriarch it's as good as him coming here themselves!”

Every person in this large meeting...

“This ‘borrowing’ business is really paying off.”

“Patriarch?”

“Oh, it’s nothing, just continue…”

Zhang Dong was looking at the ever-increasing counter of his points going up. Since the first transformation of his flying fortress, he was going through the deserted cities and sucking up all of the resources. Sometimes they encountered small groups of demi-humans but with him around they weren’t much of a problem.

Thanks to them appearing in some pl...

Runesmith: Chapter 235 – Going for a checkup.

“Roland, is this really necessary? I don’t feel that anything is out of place and is Agni coming too?”

“Awooo?”

“Yes, I’ve already explained, it’s better if we do it now before word reaches this place. Bernir and Dyana need to come with us too.”

“If you say so…”

Roland was now back home but this was not quite over yet. After getting a big hug from Elodia and a lot of slobber from Agni he didn’t just relax. The Cult was still fresh in his mind ...

‘This does make things a lot easier now… I hope the other clans and sects will overlook this…’

A few days had passed after their escape from the Long Clan territory and his flying fortress was slowly traversing the Empire. Even though its speed was close to a plane’s it would still take a lot of time to get to its destination. There was also a tiny problem of them stopping at various locations that was prolonging their trip.

This was the fifth stop that they were making ...

“I’m feeling like a new man!”

“Aye, thare is nuthing better than crakin' a cold beer in th' mornin'.”

“Don’t get used to it, we are running out of coin because you two bastards always throw it away on cheap booze and whores and now we even have a freeloader with us.”

“Who you calling a freeloader?”

“You.”

Senna pointed at Grisalde who was eating some food with the others. Roland was sitting between the two women that continued to shout at ...

“Huh? What is that… why is everything shaking?”

“Is the Emperor angry? What is happening!”

A group of people was looking at some shaking tableware. Just a moment before they were having a heated conversation about the state of the world and now the entire floating city was trembling. This was not something anyone was used to and they certainly didn’t think that the floating city could ever be breached. Thus the only explanation could be an internal conflict of some kin...

“Give me a report, what have our strategists come up with?”

“Greetings Patriarch!”

Zhang Dong walked into the room, in the middle there was a large holographic map with various colors on it. The side that represented his lands was colored blue while the middle where his brother the Azure Emperor resided was green. In various other locations, it was quite red with a focus on the areas connecting to the other empires.

“The region that we had managed to take from the ...
