Chapter 145 – Caught

Percy scanned the sea of souls, looking for his next host. Having grown more proficient at drawing the concealment runes, he was ready to return to the Vault for his next lesson.

Initially, he’d thought to look for an Orange or Green body ...

Chapter 202 – Grim Dance (1)

“It was you, wasn’t it? Behind all of it.” Rambert asked, though he could already guess the answer.

Travelling to Bogside town, he and his companions hadn’t really cared much about Nesha and Percy. They’d heard of them, of course, ...

Chapter 144 – Two things

Archibald contemplated the latest reports as he radiated dense life mana from his palm, focusing it on his son’s stump. Even for a powerful Violet core, regrowing a Blue’s arm would take several hours. And that was taking into account his more...

Chapter 201 – Garden

Grian tried rushing after Percy and Rambert, but Nesha would be damned if she allowed that to happen. Not after all the trouble they had gone through to split them up in the first place. Remaining hidden behind a tree, she moved her butterflies in...

Chapter 143 – Waves

Only one of the Greens had the bloodline. Not that it mattered much as neither Elaine nor Gawain had an easy time approaching their enemies. A long trail of flames swam through the air, resembling an earthworm, burning holes through the trees’ t...

Chapter 200 – Chase

“Run. Don’t look back.” Percy whispered, letting go of Nesha’s hand.

He didn’t even glance at her as she bolted off. His eyes were still glued to their remaining enemies. Taking a deep breath, he finally pushed the mana in his chan...

Chapter 142 – War

Elaine was trekking through the Whistling Woods with a few others. The soft tunes of the oblong cones were more than a little nostalgic. They made her think back fondly to that time with Percy all those years ago. She hadn’t been here all that m...

Chapter 199 – Eviction

“How long till they get here?” Percy asked, forcing himself to calm down.

While he and Nesha were expecting two enemies to arrive, they had prepared for more. Their ambush might be a great deal trickier to pul...

Chapter 141 – Demi-humans

A terrible tune pierced through the eerie silence of the bog. It had been going for a while, the amateurish melody driving even the owls and bats away from the area. Had somebody been unfortunate enough to walk nearby, they would have certainly to...

Chapter 198 – Three

With steady hands, Percy distilled the turquoise gel, pouring the Aurora Dew into the vial, filling nearly a quarter of it. And this was the third one this batch. Two more rested on the desk, filled and corked.

“Man, I love these eyes so d...

Chapter 197 – Truthseeker

Orin struggled to keep a straight face as he watched his elders – wise Violet cores who had been doing this for even longer than him, fumble their way around their cauldrons. They all understood – even better than him – that deattuning the e...

Chapter 196 – Shadows and rainbows

The fields shone in all sorts of vibrant colours beneath the bright sunlight. It wasn’t wheat nor any other mundane crop that was planted here, however. Instead, it was a strange magical fern, glittering in a faint Red within one’s Mana Sense....

Chapter 195 – To the victor go the spoils

The troll’s second attendant – the one Percy hadn’t personally fought – rushed out to tend to its leader’s injuries. Pulling a few of the verdant mushrooms out of its body, it brought them to the king’s mouth before crushing them into ...

Chapter 194 – Fury

The troll king scanned Percy from head to toe for several seconds, seemingly contemplating his words. Eventually, he appeared to have made his mind up, nodding with determination.

Accepting that he was no longer a match for the human as he w...

Chapter 193 – Troll king

A boulder rapidly enlarged in Percy’s pupils, but he ignored it, allowing it to pass through him harmlessly. Naturally, it was just a projection, arriving seconds before the actual attack. Greater Foresight made the troll king’s telegraphed sw...

Chapter 192 – Duel

Percy cracked a smile at the absurdity of the idea. Everyone on Remior wanted to get their hands on the secret behind the Aurora Dew. The thought of sharing it with a tribe of trolls in the middle of nowhere was as rebellious as it was hilarious.<...

Chapter 191 – Exchange

Over the next several hours, Percy and the troll fought many more rounds. Every time the creature’s mana ran out, he gave it a few minutes to refill it. At the same time, the troll consumed one of its verdant mushrooms once every few breaks, to ...

Chapter 190 – Honourable

Before Synchronization was even done activating, Percy rummaged through his sack, hastily putting as many pieces of his armour on as he could manage. Not that he wasn’t confident beating a few Yellow demi-humans without it, but there wasn’t an...

Chapter 189 – Trollsden

Percy wasn’t sure if the central area of the swamp had a name. He certainly hadn’t heard the townsfolk mention one if it did, and he was confident the trolls couldn’t give it one either. From what he’d seen, the creatures could only commun...

Chapter 188 – Casters

“A little help here would be nice!” Nesha yelled, capturing Percy’s attention.

Only now did he realize that more trolls had gathered, about a dozen of them surrounding them in total. At least, the newcomers were all Reds, only the firs...

Chapter 187 – Foresight

“Do you think this place will recover after we leave?” Nesha asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

“Sure.” Percy shrugged.

Micky rarely hunted the Red or Orange beasts of the swamp. He only ever indulged in them if he faile...

Chapter 186 – Sorcerer’s Eye

Upon seeing the new Decree take shape in his Status, Percy was ecstatic and, most of all, relieved.

The weeks of blindly brewing pills in an air-tight cooking pot at the bottom of an alien ocean, and the several hours spent in agony trying t...

Chapter 128 – Grisly Bog

“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Nesha asked as Percy wrapped the bloody garments around a large stone, tossing it in the murky swamp. A few bubbles rose to the surface, releasing a putrid stench of rot upon popping.

The group had alr...

Chapter 185 – Ea’s Decree

Percy had no idea what to expect from this latest clone of his, but whatever it was, it had to be a lot, right?

And, well... Reality didn’t disappoint.

The silver meteor punched through Percy’s soul like a molten dagger, leaving hi...

Chapter 127 – Wild Art

Percy limped over to the others as he dragged a corpse with each hand, his expression gloomy. He was glad he and Micky had won the fight without casualties, but it would have been better to avoid it entirely.

‘At some point, House Tant...
