"It looks like everyone's mood is shiny," Zolast said as he looked at us. "Yes. Precious," Limenta grumbled with annoyance. "It's not as fun when you're the one wearing the armor, right?" I said with a chuckle, amused by his frustration. Since Concealment had limited impact on the beasts, Limenta wouldn't be operating as an assassin against the upcoming corrupted monster horde. That meant, he was wearing one of our amazing golden armors he loved to mock so much. A particularly shiny one, as for any…

I couldn't help but sigh as I looked at the fateful location that almost cost me dearly with the destruction of a divine avatar, the location of the giant breach. Now, in its place, there was already a half-constructed city that was large enough to rival Oniphia, minus the triple siege wards. There wasn't even one layer active. Somatons probably thought they still had time, so they wanted to construct a solid, interlocked structure rather than building a layer first before adding more. A more prudent…

Mahruss shuffled in discomfort as he tried to adapt the unfamiliar weight of his armor. Well, unfamiliar was the wrong statement. He had worn that golden armor multiple times, often to trick others that the boss was still around. But, it was the first time he would have to fight while wearing that particular piece of armor. It was ironic that he was feeling more stressed about the armor he was wearing and the role he was supposed to play than the enemy forces that were gathering near their position,…

As much as I wanted to stop and be surprised at the notification I received about the heart of a flying castle, the events had developed too far for me to slow down. I ignored the risk of integrating with the core. Instead, I wrapped the core up with some of my mana, hoping that it would be enough to keep it hidden. Afterwards, I ran out, my Concealment still in full force. Even with my Concealment, running to the edge would have been a challenge if the top floors were occupied like they were supposed to…

The wait didn't last long, but I managed to check enough empty rooms to find a discarded set of armor in one of the rooms. It was damaged and waiting for repair, but it was still enough. Then, in about a minute, an alarm started to ring, and the gates leading to the lower parts of the castle slammed down, blocking access while the guards started to shout in alarm. I stayed in the room, waiting, wondering how my last-minute recruit would perform. It hadn't been the most prudent choice. Particularly,…

Sneaking into the flying castle was no simple task even under normal circumstances, and the alert state of the army at the time didn't make it any easier. I looked for an opportunity, which I was yet to find even as the sun started dipping down. Admittedly, trying to cause some trouble for Somaton wasn't the only reason I wanted to sneak into a flying castle. We were yet to discover their working principles, and even Zolast had failed to learn anything desite his access to ancient knowledge while helping…

"How dare you ignore my orders, you commoner dog! I'm ordering you to leave my territory," a shout reached my ear. "Jackpot," I muttered as the sound reached my ear. It came from my right, a bit over a thousand feet away. I could see about fifty people, split into two groups. I was happy to see that the larger group actually had one of the barons. It was always good to have one of the higher ranking nobles. I used Concealment as I approached them. "I'm only following the orders of my own liege, sir,"…

What was my great, awesome plan? An artificial hunt. It was a simple, incredibly so as a matter of fact. I had no doubt that, if I asked Takis to plan something, he would have come up with an incredible, complicated plan, but I had lived long enough to know that complicated plans were hardly necessary when dealing with two dangerous forces with significant friction between them. I was inspired by the times I had dealt with rival gangs, particularly the kind where they had risen up enough that they…

As I pulled myself out of the water, looking at the cliff, I couldn't help but call the System and go over the was the first break I had since I started my travel to my Somatom. By swimming for three days without a break. Originally, it would have taken more than ten days, but I made a point of investing fifty points to Speed, and twenty points to Strength. Combined, they had increased my movement capabilities considerably. Though, even while traveling, I had received some rewards. A part of it was the…

"I thought that heroes were supposed to be young, boss," Mahruss said as he looked at me, while Zolast continued to layer several spells on the dungeon entrance, doing his best to remove the pocket dimension that we used to make them join my Heroic Party, collapsing it to remove the evidence. Mahruss and Takis, we invited while moving to the dungeon, and they decided to accept the offer after another explanation. Adding five new people to the party had been surprisingly eventless. Just a very complicated…
