Chapter 280 – Regret

“I’m listening.”

“I can give you a powerful spell that anyone can use, regardless of their affinity. It takes some effort to meet the requirements, but I promise you it’s worth it.” Percy explained.

“What tier?”

Chapter 222 – Diplomacy (1)

Percy dragged Nesha through the Whistling Woods, the two sprinting in the darkness. The moonless sky wasn’t doing them any favours as they struggled to avoid crashing into a tree. Plus, they were out of breath already. Still, he ignored the exha...

Chapter 279 – Tlaloc

“You know… saving you would have been a lot easier if you’d tried running towards me instead of standing there, waiting to be rescued like a moron…” Percy said once he was back on his feet.

Then, he helped the prisone...

Chapter 221 – Jason

Earlier

Jason had grown sick of tasting his own blood, but he couldn’t help it. Biting his cheek was a habit he’d inadvertently picked up over the last couple of months. By now, it had grown a little out of hand.

H...

Chapter 278 – Rhaziel

The wine glass shattered into sand, the liquid vaporizing instantly as a tremor ran through the mansion.

‘What the hell was that?!’

It made no sense! At first, the kid had merely screamed his lungs out like a lunatic – j...

Chapter 220 – Regulation

Percy allowed his thoughts to sink into the ethereal cord in his sternum, watching the live feed provided by Micky with bated breath, as the crow shared his senses with him.

His blood flow had greatly slowed, an oppressive feeling of numbnes...

Chapter 277 – Mana Flow?

Mana spilled out of the prisoner’s pores, shrouding his body in a cyan mist. Like with Percy’s Synchronization, the influx of mana was simply too much to fit inside one’s channels. The only way to survive the technique was to let this excess...

Chapter 219 – Brown potion

Two weeks went by in a flash, as everyone pushed themselves to their very limits.

Percy didn’t actually get to spend much time with Nesha. Even when the two got a few minutes together, they were typically too tired to talk. From what littl...

Chapter 276 – Guest lecturer

The trio’s hurried steps echoed through the long corridor as they rushed to reach the auditorium on time. And they weren’t alone, several latecomers practically running by their side. Yet, Percy’s thoughts were far removed from the Mana Flow...

Chapter 218 – A favourable deal

Over the next hour or so, Percy brought Baldy up to speed on the mushrooms. Of course, he’d already briefed him on his plans previously, but it wasn’t until now that he’d come to understand his ingredients better.

At first, he didn’t...

Chapter 275 – Bonds

“Are you sure about it?” one of the guards asked.

“Look at it yourself – the runes are blinking!” the other replied. “This only happens when the tanks drop below 25%.”

The first guy raised an eyebrow.

“Is there’...

Chapter 217 – New recipe

Percy spent the next few hours brewing Aurora Dew and healing potions, though his mind had drifted elsewhere. He was thinking over his idea, fleshing out the details. Alchemic principles were typically quite broad and could be applied in several w...

Chapter 274 – Reigniting one’s will

All things considered, going through the notebooks had been relatively straightforward. Percy had merely had to replicate a few well-defined exercises, without much room for interpretation. And he’d been generously rewarded for his efforts – b...

Chapter 216 – Crimson mushrooms

Percy’s training session only lasted a couple of hours, though to him they felt closer to years. And that was despite Galahad cutting him some slack every few minutes or so, to keep him from passing out. By the time they were done, Percy wasn’...

Chapter 273 – Finding Leo

Something warm trickled down Percy’s chin, soaking the fur on his neck. The smell of iron filled his nostrils, his brain feeling like jelly. But he endured.

More importantly, his concentration stretched like a rubber band – or perhaps, l...

Chapter 215 – Domain

In the end, Percy managed to brew a couple healing potions by nightfall. In fact, things went even more smoothly than he’d originally expected. He only wasted a handful of mushrooms before learning to extract their essence properly. If he’d kn...

Chapter 272 – Shards of glass

Glancing around, he quickly spotted a strange circle in the middle of the room. It was covered in even more enchantments than everything else, clearly protecting something extremely valuable. And Percy knew exactly what it was.

The Wiseman�...

Chapter 214 – Growing mushrooms

‘Finally, I can get started on this!’ Percy rubbed his hands in anticipation.

Perhaps he was a little too excited to be working on his somewhat disturbing project… But who could blame him? He genuinely enjoyed alchemy, and he�...

Chapter 271 – Wiseman’s Chamber

Percy arrived at the designated lounge an hour early, unwilling to waste even a second of his time in the Wiseman’s Chamber.

“Good morning, sir.” an attendant greeted him with a deep bow.

He was an older Orange-born. Not quite at...

Chapter 213 – Homecoming (7) – Rambert

Several days earlier

A frog hopped atop a protrusion jutting out of the mud, its rhythmic croaks echoing within the depths of the bog. Big mistake on its part…

Suddenly, a mound of dirt surged outwards, startling the...

Chapter 270 – Last class

Percy carefully poured the contents of the cauldron into the funnel, counting each droplet as it trickled into the pinkie-sized vial.

‘…99… 100… 101.’

Technically, this was already more than a full dose – enough to...

Chapter 212 – Homecoming (6) – Micky

‘I wish Percy was here…’ Micky lamented as he stuffed his face with the fifth goblin core.

While the Whistling Woods were a nostalgic place for both of them, it was especially so for him. After all, some of his earliest m...

Chapter 269 – Blumbins

A soft flame burned over Lyn’s palm, bathing their surroundings in its golden radiance. Percy had to admit, he was impressed she could maintain the spell for so long with just an Orange core.

From what she’d explained, the trick lay in d...

Chapter 211 – Homecoming (5) – Elaine

In the end, it didn’t matter much whether Elaine and Nesha rushed or not, as they still had to wait for Percy to wash up too. Owain was a highly impressionable toddler by now, and Elaine had no intention of bringing a veritable caveman along to ...

Chapter 268 – Ink

More lumps formed inside the cauldron than usual, as the fungal tar Percy had added to the concoction had greatly raised its viscosity. The good news was that the lumps caused by the mud mana were much easier to dissolve than the ones which emerge...

Chapter 210 – Homecoming (4) – Nesha

Nesha stood still, basking in the water’s warmth as dozens of tiny rivulets splashed on her shoulders, before trickling down her back, gently caressing her. Only after a few minutes of silent appreciation did she begrudgingly step out of the str...

Chapter 267 – Not a bad place to live

The next few weeks passed by in a flash.

True to his word, Percy didn’t miss a single class since he cleared the air with Dugris. Even better, he made great progress in his studies, learning all sorts of valuable things every single day. 2025-03-11 07:01:05 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 209 – Homecoming (3) – Archibald

“How?!” Galahad asked, unable to fathom how Nesha and Percy could have possibly taken a single Green out. Let alone four of them.

Even Archibald was taken aback, though he did know a little more than his son. Percy hadn’t...

Chapter 266 – Valuable reward

As expected, the Pre-casting class was a downright humiliating experience for Percy. Even worse, unlike the hard time he’d suffered unjustly in Alchemy 10 thanks to Dugris’s pettiness, he knew he fully deserved Mr. Lonan’s cold treatment. 2025-03-10 07:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 208 – Homecoming (2) – Percy

Percy was about to start explaining everything to his uncle and grandpa, when somebody knocked on the door. And they did so rather eagerly too. Grabbing his bandage again from Baldy’s desk, he was about to put it back on, though he rela...
