Chapter 772 - Sofia spits back harder

The first few floors of the underground complex were just the usual black market. No assassins for hire anywhere. Drugs, weapons, and suspicious artifacts for sale. Sofia silently floated through the corridors, nobody strong enough to see through her title’s invisibility. 

But if she wanted to go to the deeper levels, it was going to be a bit harder. Her mana senses couldn’t reach beyond the third underground level. There was a single set of stairs leading to it, guarded by two...

Chapter 771 - When you spit on Sofia’s face

Later the same day Sofia was forcibly pulled away from the workshop as something unusual happened. The Abereth had been silently hovering next to her, ominous as ever, when it had suddenly disappeared with a loud bang.

Erredis was too busy working on the helmet to even notice, so Sofia and Ihuarah silently left to go investigate what had just happened. Sofia still felt her connection to the artefact clearly. It was within her far-aura range, in the city’s outskirts, where many people ...

Chapter 770 - Continental disaster

A few days later, Sofia was with Ihuarah and Erredis in her workshop, standing around a mannequin wearing the work-in-progress mithrium helmet.

“If we want to make it a divine essence, the essence needs to be bound now,” Erredis explained, “Are you certain Sorrow’s essence is compatible?”

Ihuarah nodded, “Indeed. Victory is elation at something you achieved, while Sorrow is generally pain at something you could not prevent, they could not be more opposed concepts.” 2025-10-13 16:00:21 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 769 - A regular day in Ser’Extra

A month later. Sofia and Alith stand at the bottom of a large silo, in front of them multiple headless skeletons fall on top of a huge pile of bones every second.

“This is really ridiculous…” Alith commented, watching the constant rain of bones.

“Eve called this design an xp tower. That’s a thing they did in game, apparently. Not that far from the trash slime experience room, just a more optimized design.”

“How many Skelems do you have up there exactly?”

Chapter 768 - End-game gear

Allows one to return to darkness.

Consuming three beads will lead to irremediable consequences.

“The three beads thing must count both those and the others,” Sofia said.

“Yeah, we can leave but if we ever come back we’ll be trapped in the sanctuary forever probably. Or I’m overthinking things and it just makes us permanently Sunless.”

“Probably both?” Sofia guessed, “Either way I would rather not find out.”  2025-10-09 16:00:21 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 767 - The Hermit

“You will have to be careful while using that,” Sofia noted, looking at Pestle’s new skill, “It looks like it could be dangerous.”

“Hmmhmm, Pesle understand. Sofia not worry! Pesle not is Sofia, not kill self!” she enthusiastically affirmed.

“... Can’t really argue with that… Well, watch over me while I let the ring eat, alright?”

“Pesle protect!” the fairy declared, bringing out her golden knife and fork out of nowhere, brandishing them like war we...

Chapter 766 - The Fool

“Pesle purpose?!” Pestle repeated, seemingly more surprised to be asked a question than by the question itself. “Pesle is do thing. Often leg!” she proudly answered right away, hands on her hipbone, ”Purpose is do thing, thing always purpose!”

The beast’s neck elongated, approaching, it stared right at Pestle.

“Why staring? Pesle not is dating!”

The beast’s head twitched ever so slightly. And pulled back.

Correct. It announced, soun...

Chapter 765 - The Pages

“Who could've guessed that we’d end up in a forest again,” Saria commented, observing the surroundings as the group advanced through the long winding path.

Sofia shrugged, “All things considered, that’s not too strange considering the other places I’ve explored until now. I don’t even know what it would take to really surprise me at this point.”

“You always end up in the weirdest places somehow. I should really be following you around more.”

“I’m not ...

Chapter 764 - Dark world?

Saria held out her hand, “Gimme one.”

“You’ve already decided you’re going to eat it?” Sofia asked, the beads firmly in her grip.

“Consume three and you can’t reverse the effects, right? That means whatever happens, a single one is safe. But if you’re really worried you can let me hold the stone while I eat it.”

“That would be preferable… It won’t work for Pestle, though…”

“Leg is leg, Pesle not harm,” Pestle confidently assured her wi...

Chapter 763 - Sunless

Some quick testing revealed that moving the statues around was likely to be the answer, but no matter how much the trio stared at the carvings on the door, they did not get it. Saria came to the conclusion that they were probably missing some relevant knowledge. That left them with two solutions, to either break the door, or brute force the locking mechanism.

“There are fourteen statues, so that’s only like… 87 million possible configurations,” Saria estimated.

“I can go...

Chapter 762 - It knows. It grows.

“Ah, you got it already. Should’ve gone with a hint a bit less obvious. That’s right the silhouettes are–”

“Sunless,” Sofia completed.

“That’s right. Thus is Cerberus beta,” Saria said, pointing at the larger of the four circles, “And those are its three moons.”

“Meanwhile all the Sunless are looking at the fourth moon. Cerberus Alpha, the black sun of the spiritual plane… I was so convinced the Nymphs wouldn’t get us through I didn’t even try...

Chapter 761 - The tales of hole

Sofia silently followed Saria through the wide trees of the spirit forest. She had to be careful to keep her aura and mana senses in check, to prevent the creatures above from noticing them. At the same time, she was able to notice just how many of the smaller trees in the forest were fake. The Hallowed Purifier tree monsters were absolutely everywhere, the higher level ones were just very hard to notice, but Sofia had a better eye for it now than she had on her previous visit.
