He had almost reached the campsite.
Jon had not even realized during the fight that he had sustained injuries to his torso and legs. Several cuts earned from crystalline bullets launched towards him, and one particularly large patch of singed flesh gained from straying too close towards one of the searing waves of flame he narrowly dodged.
‘Adrenaline is one hell of a drug I guess,’ Jon thought to himself, breathing heavily before taking another step forward.

[A/N]: I'm back. Double chapters today. Hope everyone enjoys!
Avahni and Sariel had returned to their riverbank campsite just a few minutes ago. With the addition of the Custodian Of The Fire Swarm and the Voracious Wood-Swallowing Mangrove the green-haired lutin had grown to become quite the dangerous opponent especially when fighting groups of enemies.
After Jon had given Avahni the Fragment Of Beetle and Fragment Of Mouth requi...

The world felt ever so slightly brighter in Jon’s eyes. Colours appeared more vibrant. Scents possessed layers to them. Sounds bounced off the objects around him filling his mind with a faint ringing that did not exist previously.
The sound of his heartbeat was slow yet resounded throughout his mind.
Not in fear or trepidation. Nor in joy or zealous excitement.
Everything just… fell into place. There was no sense of discontinuity between thought and action. No incoherenc...

[A/N]: More double chapters. In about an hour after this chapter drops.
Jon had practiced using Assail as a makeshift javelin ever since he integrated the Fragment Of Spear into his Wood Mana Core. Ever since the first time he attempted to use a makeshift wooden spear against the fire-breathing duck, Jon had always made time to train both his aim and upper body strength.
After spending so much of his time safe near the riverbank that Jon had calle...

Jon increased the amount of knowledge natured spiritual energy that flowed out of his Knowledge Mana Core, allowing it to flow into his Fragment Of Eyes and Fragment Of Instinct. His instincts and intuition were enhanced to the nth degree, and Jon felt his visual acuity grow sharper and more precise, the emanations of foreign sources of spiritual energy much clearer after overloading his two abilities.
With a sweeping glance, Jon could see the more than half-dozen approaching figures of...

Jon could hear the sound of his heart pounding within his chest. An overwhelmingly loud rhythmic thumping echoed throughout Jon’s mind, screaming at him to do anything other than just stand still. His mouth trembling at the sight of the approaching beast, its enormous, yellow-toothed grin sending shivers down Jon’s spine.
His breathing grew erratic, and his pupils dilated.

Looking down at the effect description in front of him, Jon could not help but pause, feeling a faint pull at the corners of his mouth. Both Ashvattha Rana and Schwarz Eis noticed the gentle joyous lapping of water within his Sea Of Knowledge, wondering just what manner of ability their summoner manifested from the Fragment Of Avaritia.
It did not possess the Summon Trait. Nor did it possess the Mutation Trait. Both of...

With the addition of his three new abilities, Jon felt significantly more secure about ensuring his safety even when facing a stronger opponent. [False Spear Art; Concealed Spear Detonation] was in of itself quite the powerful offensive Spell.

Jon had heard a few ideas from both Schwarz Eis and Ashvattha Rana, nodding as the two-summons pointed out quite the number of gaps in his combat style. Jon had reserved a handful of empty slots for the integration of certain fragments that he had been suggested, such as a Fragment Of Contract and a Fragment Of Transcendence.
Jon still planned on leaving the following morning to go north and explore the areas around the enormous lake Wilheim had found s...

The last time that Jon was brought into this imaginary mental space, he noticed the changes manifested due to his integration of a Fragment Of Heart and Fragment Of Marrow. The formation of icebergs and platforms of ice that were scattered about the surface of his Sea Of Knowledge distracted him from his goal of discovering the origins of this imaginary inner world of his.

Jon exited his Sea Of Knowledge, the faint sounds of snoring and breathing emanating from the four sleeping aliens at his sides. The sounds of crackling twigs and branches had long since died down, leaving naught but a handful of occasional embers shooting up into the night sky.
It was Jon’s turn to take watch over the camp, and despite having numerous summons as his conversational companions, the young human found himself not in the mood to talk. His brows furrowed ...

After Jon managed to summon Schwarz Eis, the faint tension throughout the camp returned, albeit with a slightly different flavour to it. The fact that Jon had managed to obtain another powerful ability was one thing but considering that the summon in question he had manifested was a beautiful humanoid caused Wilheim to wag his eyebrows at him suggestively.
The eighteen-year-old felt his cheeks flush, merely rolling his eyes in response to Wilheim’s playful banter.

There was an indescribable tension around the campfire. The sound of crackling embers and the gentle lapping of water did nothing to lessen the strangeness in this minute corner of the small realm.

Sariel somewhat regretted her decision to follow the aliens known as Wilheim and Avahni back to their campsite. Without a shadow of a doubt, both herself and her brother were indebted to the floresiensis and lutin. Despite her having saved Avahni in return, the beautiful green-haired woman had lost her fish companion, causing her to burst into tears, clutching at the splatter of red-golden blood that belonged to Huo Liyu.

Jon knew that he had spent quite a bit of time exploring the forest and hunting for fragments. His pockets bulged with the weight of over a dozen different Fragments and a single Mana Core that he had obtained from an ugly-looking frog creature with mushrooms growing on its back.
The Fungi Mana Core was quite the interesting find, although Jon had no desire to integrate it. The relationship between it...

“How the hell did I not realise that I could do this until now?” Jon muttered to himself, his Minerva-Sagacity Eyes able to perceive the silver-metallic wisps of spear natured spiritual energy released from his Spear Mana Core.
The human did in fact know the answer, he just did not know why he did not think of it before this moment.
With the limited amount of spiritual energy contained within each of his Mana Cores, Jon could perhaps fight once, or maybe even ...

What was a Spell?
If Jon was being honest, he had not thought why some of his abilities were considered Spells and other Abilities. The abilities manifested from the Fragment Of Hunt and Fragment Of Destruction both possessed the Technique Trait, which was another thing he did not quite understand.
From his understanding of the differences between the types of abilities he could manifest,...

Jon strolled throughout the forest seemingly without a care in the world. The young human walked over grass and leaves while resting the two-metre-long spear on his shoulder. Humming a soft tune, the human juggled a handful of fragments in one hand, ignoring the System notifications for integration.

When Wilheim heard screaming echoing throughout the forest, the floresiensis felt his legs sprinting towards the source before he even realized what was going on.
His first thought was thought was that Avahni might be in some sort of danger, before Wilheim registered the depth and tone of the screaming voice. It was the voice of a man, but not one that he was familiar with. Jon’s voice occasionally cracked, an indication that he was more than likely still undergoing his Race’s matur...

Avahni admitted, this was not quite how she expected this meeting to go.
Avahni hoped that it might be somewhat like her first ever meeting with Jon.
The lutin had encountered him at his most vulnerable, possessing just a single Mana Core and no direct offensive capabilities. These two green and blue aliens were placed in a similar situation, one that Avahni could help resolve if they let her.

Jon crouched down beside the mutated bull creature, wielding Assail like a hatchet as he carved off thick pieces of flesh and muscle tissue, trying to reach the space near its heart where fragments could be found.
