Runesmith: Chapter 221 – Mission debrief.

A gentle breeze flew past his hair while he glanced into the distance. The rumbling of the horses had already calmed down but the conversation he had with the inquisitor felt like a dream. How could such a person have appeared before him just like that and be involved with his father Wentworth Arden?

His father was a famous knight that had gained power almost exclusively through military conflicts. Even though his age was close to eighty he still looked like someone in his late forties....

‘Well, I was not expecting this…’

Long Enlai along with Zhang Liu were now separated from each other. Both of them were bleeding out after their techniques collided with Liu being in a slightly better situation. Thanks to being a dual cultivator with what seemed to be a better body refining technique he had managed to survive through more hits than his opponent.

Yet victory was not assured yet, each of them had a bit of spiritual energy left in them for one final attack. A v...

“It was me?”

If they were in a cartoon then a large question mark would appear above Roland’s head. The old man had a similar frame to his father but was slightly shorter. Was devoid of scarring but there was a certain thing in his eyes that made him seem like a battle-hardened warrior that had made it through many battles with monsters and humans alike.

There was a clear difference in levels between them which Roland was unable to check with his analyzing skill. It was clea...

‘They are really into it…’

Zhang Dong was surprised to see the many cultivators that had gathered in this large venue. The quality of the experts housed here was probably enough to bulldoze through the entire empire if they set their sights on the smaller sects. It put the original size of the Zhang Clan in perspective as even one core formation expert from here would probably be able to eradicate it themselves.

In actuality, he was not that interested in defending his honor...

“You dare!?”

“What if I do? I will not let you speak ill of my master!”

‘What the hell is going on here…’

After returning from the golden palace Zhang Dong was greeted by a display of animosity between two young men. One of them was his own disciple Zhang Liu and the other was a young man around the same age. Both of them were staring at each other with rage in their eyes, behind the unknown youth he also spotted one of his nephews that for some reason was grin...

Runesmith: Chapter 219 – Not over yet?

“What is that … is this some foreign language? Those are some strange symbols and drawings, is it magic?”

“Could you stop doing that?”

“But it’s so boring.”

A bored halfling gave out a sigh while looking over the shoulder of a certain armored man who was scribbling something into a notebook.

“Leave Wayland alone, Senna, we will be there in a few hours.”

After Senna was shooed away by her party member Orson Roland was able to go back to his not...

“It should be in here… was this his bed chamber?”

Zhang Dong was about to leave this place to go check on his family but was pulled away by his Ai’s prompt. Bob had discovered an item that fit the description of the sacred blade. Yet on the domain window, he could not really see anything of worth nor could he feel any strong holy energy from this place.

Behind the throne room, there was another set of corridors that led to some private quarters. It seemed to have been conn...

“Here.”

“Thank you, so you are really going to stay behind?”

“Yes, this runic tower will help us against the evil heretics! I must thank you for lending me your runic expertise.”

“Is that so…”

Roland bowed before the golden-haired woman that was now looking a lot better. She was not a tier 3 class holder for nothing as within half a day she had recovered all of her lost health and stamina.

They had remained in the village until the next day. The...

“The carpet seems to have survived at least…”

The throne room was quite large, there was a large red carpet going towards a large throne made of more golden metal. It was a lot more radiant than the columns on the sides that spread out into more empty space.

“There is a spatial formation at work here, the castle didn’t look as big from the outside…”

After wandering for half an hour through the entire place he figured out that something was amiss. The corridors ...

“How does it look, magnificent isn't it? Before you received our ancestors' inheritance this place was nothing more than a ruin but now it has regained its old luster!”

“It's… quite shiny isn’t it?”

Zhang Dong was now looking at a glistering palace that looked a bit tacky. It looked like something out of a fairytale. First off it was separately floating up in the air right behind the Azure Palace which was the bigger of the two. There must have been some kind of barrie...

‘Currently, there are … 0 … matches for the specified criteria, do you wish to change the criteria?’

‘No we tried that already… just keep on searching.’

Bob replied while Zhang Dong walked through the lush corridors of the castle that the Azure Dragon lived in. While he had been here before, his family was not. Thus the trip was a lot longer as everyone took their time to loo...

Runesmith: Chapter 216 – Unexpected ally.

The radiant arc of glistering yellow came from out of nowhere. It traveled at an astonishing speed and connected with a bunch of those rubbery tentacles. They were in the process of wrapping around some screaming caravan travelers but were cleanly severed by the thin arch of energy.

Roland had witnessed similar techniques in his life and this seemed to be some kind of cutting skill. The bright golden color made it stick out from the rest as it mostly represented the divine or the holy e...

“Is that it? I never thought I would be able to lay my eyes on such a magnificent city…”

“What do you mean you old crow, our Spirit Spring City is much grander…”

Zhang Jin along with Maling started shouting at each other while standing on the ship’s deck. They were slowly being escorted towards the flying city which not many people in this empire could have the honor to see.

This was also the first time for Zhang Dong to go with the scenic route. It was much sl...

“Isn’t this thing a bit too tight?”

“Have you gained some weight, it should fit you perfectly…”

“Well, I did get a bit stronger…”

Zhang Dong lifted up his arm to flex his biceps, the moment he did he could feel the ceremonial Patriarch robe he was wearing being strained. Soon enough the fabric not meant for battle gave out and ripped as it was not able to contain his well-built physique. After the seed had been formed his body had been reinforced and along ...

“Well then, I will excuse myself please keep your promise and I will keep mine.”

Zhang Dong was looking at Lucius, who had somewhat changed his tune. After having a life and death experience where he recalled a loved one he finally understood that perhaps rushing towards his death might not have been the wisest option. The man seemed to have a superiority complex that was shattered by Zhang Dong’s might but luckily he was taking it well.

After the battle was over Zhang Dong ...

“We must retrieve it, find the intruder!”

After the head priest had been stabbed in the back by an unknown assailant the whole place was in an even bigger uproar. A few deaths had occurred during the obvious diversion but there were still many angry cultists around. They quickly noticed the treasured magical item that adorned their leader’s neck was missing. This was not something that could leave this place, some of their darker secrets were attributed to that item.

“I must give it to you, I didn’t think you would still be standing after that one, but…”

Zhang Dong rubbed his neck where he was grazed by the enemy's longsword. The gash was quite deep but not something deadly for a cultivator like him that defied human physiology. While his wound was now healing at a rapid rate the one he delivered to the knight commander was not.

The man was surrounded by magic armor and various relics of power. He was not naturally resistant to damage,...

A clash of unprecedented proportions was taking place above this once desolate land of lightning. The once cloudy sky above was pushed back by the shockwaves that reached all up towards the earth below. With each wave of energy, the once mirror-like ground started to crack until it finally shattered into many smaller stones.

“We must escape!”

At first, the onlookers remained in place, for them, it was a chance to see two stron...

‘What are those creatures, the radar isn’t picking them up as monsters… are they too small to be registered, or are they part of some kind of spell?’

Roland was above ground and looking through a ventilation opening down into a large chamber meant for occult rituals. One of these was apparently taking place, the whole area was riddled with passed out people and more figures from the Abyssal Cult that he was familiar with.

After making his way here to find the control item ...

‘Familiar existence detected, please give the familiar a name.’

Zhang Dong was now looking at something that reminded him of his old soul beast. But instead of the giant dragon that he could use to blast everyone to kingdom come there was a small baby dragon.

“You want me to give this guy a name Bob?... Well, it is a dragon… So how about Bahamut?”

His soul beast was a part of him, even when he gave it pet names then it was a bit silly. The c...

A man recited something in an incomprehensive manner while looking towards a large double spiral tower. It was giving out a strange buzzing noise that was hard to make out and the glowing red runes pulsated whenever the noise was released. Perhaps if the person was paying more attention he would have noticed that someone was approaching from behind.

Soon within a fraction of a second two armored gauntlets appeared from behind him. One of them went for...

A small group of cultivators bowed their heads before a long-bearded man. All of them were wearing similar robes with a white dragon on their back. They were members of the Lightning Dragon Sect that kept order in these lands.

A day ago they had all witnessed a strange phenomenon. The large torrent of lightning energy that had existed before any of them had been born, was no more. It was an inhabitable land that none of them could visit so only when ...

After dumping off the wizard’s apprentice Zhang Dong finally arrived in the electrically charged dead zone. The area was quite intense, if he didn’t possess his current cultivation level he felt that his body would have been torn to shreds a long time ago. Even then he was not at the center part.
