Chapter 387 – Tracked down

A giant bird was gliding over the lush forest, close enough for the rustling canopies below to be heard. The whistling gales rushing against its plumage did cover the sound somewhat, but they didn’t impede its movement all that much. If one paid...

Chapter 444 – Clear

Percy and Kassorith watched in silence as their opponent slithered off the stage, her defeat already being swept away by the crowd’s reaction.

Only now – after having “fought” the woman for several mind-numbing days – did Percy bot...

Chapter 386 – Ark

“Isn’t it the same thing?” Percy asked.

“Not quite. Remember that this isn’t a physical world.” Nephthys explained. “I did produce that thing you mentioned during my ascension. It was useless for me, so I gave it to my subordin...

Chapter 443 – First round

Percy and his host had decided to try and keep the second domain and the enchanted swords secret for as long as they could. Kassorith’s all-out attack wasn’t that hard to avoid once their opponent knew it was coming, so they understood they co...

Chapter 385 – Murmurs

Percy flashed her a questioning look, prompting her to continue.

“If I’ve understood this correctly, you activated your bloodline twice the last time you created a familiar. The first time had been to possess your friend in his original ...

Chapter 442 – Greater Thess’kalan Physique

Two Blues fought above the arena, giant balls of molten lava splashing frequently on the translucent barrier shielding the spectators, before rolling harmlessly down its smooth surface.

The scorching liquid pooled at the edges of the arena, ...

Chapter 384 – Nephthys

A warm feeling spread through Percy’s body, soothing his mind and relieving him of his exhaustion.

“Please forgive me for not helping you out earlier… I have selfishly indulged in my curiosity. Given the things you have learned about u...

Chapter 441 – Ancestral Lineage Sect

Colours rippled faintly through the square tiles, the runes softly pulsating at set intervals. The floor was made of reinforced materials and further enchanted on top of that. It was clearly designed to withstand – or at least undo in real time ...

Chapter 383 – Desperate move

Percy drew a sharp breath, his shock at the goddess’s message buying him a few more minutes of sobriety. Not wasting any time, he dove into the text again, praying to all the gods present and absent for the information he needed to escape this d...

Chapter 440 – Regional tournament

‘Wow… it looks like there’s more I can accomplish with my traits than I originally thought…’

It wasn’t like Percy had slacked back home. He had already incorporated his new ability into his runecrafting, elevating it to ...

Chapter 382 – Dark clouds

Rushing to the third floor, Percy couldn’t help but lament the monotonous environment of the pyramid.

‘It would have been a lot easier to keep myself awake if I didn’t have to stare at the same red stone all the time…’

Chapter 439 – Imprint

Apocalyptic.

That was the best word to describe Kassorith’s attack.

Countless glowing blades pelted the ground with the speed of lightning bolts, leaving trails of twisted air still crackling with electricity in their wake. The const...

Chapter 381 – Golden age

Unlike the first hall, which contained information on all sorts of different topics, this one seemed to delve much deeper into a single one. A rather important subject for the Amenthei too.

Their world’s history.

Rather than differen...

Chapter 438 – Blue beasts

‘Have you any idea what you’ve done?!’ Kassorith snapped once they were alone. ‘He’s going to gut us alive if you fail to deliver!’

Percy shrugged. ‘No. Just you – he can’t get to my ...

Chapter 380 – Compression

In every world Percy had been to, potions were considered secondary products of alchemy – far inferior to the cultivation resources people used to cleanse their cores and advance to the higher grades. Part of it was due to the sheer importance o...

Chapter 437 – Syrreneth

As soon as Kassorith stepped into the cavern leading toward his master’s residence, Percy felt the ambient mana grow even thicker. The air outside had already been about twice as rich as Remior’s, but it climbed by another thirty to forty perc...

Chapter 379 – Amenthes

Percy was, admittedly, a little bummed out that he hadn’t found a door leading out of the pyramid yet. He’d already mostly explored its outer walls while descending through the corridors, and it didn’t seem there was an exit at its base eith...

Chapter 436 – Elite disciples

Percy had more questions, but he didn’t get a chance to voice them. Diving toward one of the shorter pillars jutting out of the clouds, his host landed on a less-crowded spot near the edge, carelessly tossing the greatsword into the depths behin...

Chapter 378 – Sanctuary

Overcome by panic, Percy took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. Part of him wanted to question whether it was even real air he was inhaling, but he had bigger things to worry about. For the first time since his original meeting with Sol, he...

Chapter 435 – Thess’kala

‘Good luck with that, you bastard!’ Percy yelled through their rapidly fading connection.

Willing all the controlled preservation runes to deactivate, he instantly slowed his host’s recovery speed to a crawl, but he didn’t s...

Chapter 377 – Strange world

Percy’s wisp stretched, filling the gaps in his host’s soul.

Strictly speaking, this person’s injuries weren’t that serious – they had barely crossed the threshold of lethality, and they didn’t seem to be worsening very fast eith...

Chapter 434 – Cascading Cracks

As fed up as Percy was with his host, he couldn’t help but feel a sliver of excitement at the prospect of learning a greater spring’s cleansing technique. Strictly speaking, he was already using one of those – the modified version o...

Chapter 433 – Kassorith

Percy found himself surrounded by mutilated corpses – so thoroughly disfigured that even he, hardened by experience as he was, struggled to keep his gaze on them.

Chapter 375 – Open challenge

Storing the newly-dried meat inside one of his spatial amulets – the one he had designated for rations – Percy was finally done reorganizing his inventory. He didn’t know when he’d next get a chance to settle down or hunt again, so he figu...

The clone had been searching for a new body for months. Percy had no idea whether his three counterparts had gotten any luckier, but he certainly hadn’t found what he’d been looking for. He’d actually skipped half a dozen lesser spr...

Chapter 374 – Long-term goal

If it had been anybody else in Percy’s boots, they might have found the giant tortoise a challenging opponent. Hidden within its fortress of a shell, they would have likely needed to somehow bait it into extending its limbs and its head out of t...

Chapter 431 – Unit cell theory

Nesha continued carving symbols into the construct’s shoulder, the pseudo-enchantment gradually taking shape.

Chapter 373 – Harmony

Percy found himself on the ground, near Micky.

Unlike the last time, their mana hadn’t gone berserk – largely because they’d mentally prepared themselves for the unlocked memory. Even while immersed in his friend’s thoughts, Percy ha...
