This time, however, something changed. A frown crossed the massive man's expression and his head darted to look at the V.I.P. booth. Lone didn't have the time to think why he was doing this, he could only take advantage of this distraction to finally land a hit. Extending his steamforged sword spear with its steam edge and recently flattened tip, Lone activated several skill effects at once. "Pierce! Woodsman! Full Charge!" Lone's weapon doubled in size and lost 20% of its weight. Full Charge only…-

"And you're sure you don't mind acting as an arbiter when needed, Guildmaster Elksworth?" Lossa Redtail, Matriarch of the Crimson Foxkin Clan, asked respectfully. Gilbert nodded his head. "It's the least I can do after how considerate you've been to me, my apprentice, and her uncle." " Gilbert took a seat in his new residence at the Crimson Foxkin Clan and exhaled a tired sigh. "Despite being rather young myself for a dragonkin, I foolishly let myself see a young pup of a fox as a son of sorts.…

The commentators were listing off everything interesting that was publicly known about Lone while they drummed up the excitement of the event. It was rare for the prince to fight in a battle that wasn't to the death, so even though not a single person thought this fight would last any longer than the prince allowed it to, they were riled up and more than pleased to be here nonetheless. He couldn't really blame the man. He was a busy XX-ranker, so if it become known that he could be challenged with…

Strike after strike battered away at Lone's blood fortress shield. Occasionally, one wouldn't be negated by Fortress Shield Mastery, and Kevin's estoc, Ellie, would come very close to piercing the Blood Clone. However, the strength of the Blood Clone in combination with Lone's passive skill Blood Thickening, on top of the 95% force nullification from Fortress Shield Mastery, prevented any breaches in the fluid bubble that protected his body. Before too long, he heard the prince's 11th son say,…

With all of the paperwork out of the way, Lone and his group made their way to courtyard three. The enclosure itself wasn't particularly fancy though it did have a certain appeal to it. The whole area was made entirely out of a stone Lone didn't recognise, likely a type of mineral resistant to damage, he guessed. The space could likely hold upwards of a thousand people which only spoke of how large this branch of the guild was. Already the courtyard had a couple hundred occupants, all here to either…

"So where is your next destination?" Yulia asked, her curiosity clearly being more polite than genuine. "Hmm? Ah, The Adventurer's Guild in the fighter district," Lone replied absentmindedly. "You know the way? Do we not need to ask for directions again?" Yulia wondered aloud. Lone shook his head. "Soph knows where it is. She's leading for a reason." "Yup! I'm a master scout. Well, better than a certain dwarf, at least," Soph proudly stated. Yulia raised an eyebrow. "I suppose the arenas are…

While they left the palace as a group of four Lone looked to Yulia and asked, "Which is closer; Mason and Sons, or the strongest branch of The Adventurer's Guild?" Yulia furrowed her brow. "I do not know. My familiarity with this city is limited despite me having called it home for six centuries now. I know the ins and outs of the magical district, the location of a few auction halls, and every branch of the C.A.A. Anything else and you would be better served asking a guardsman." "I guess that makes…

"How do you know my name? I'm hardly the most public of Lord Keining's children," Yulia asked. "The walls have ears. You gonna answer my question now?" Lone fired back as he thought, "I'm here to verify a few things," Yulia replied without really answering, her disdain palpable in the air. It was then that Lone felt something brushing up against his Puzzle Locked Mind. It wasn't nearly as forceful as Stoner Heeth's scripture magic. It was also incredibly more practised and cautious than Hazel's…

He nodded and replied, "I don't see any slaves," Lone commented as he took in the sight that was Golden Pass City. It was easily the largest city he'd seen on Altros thus far. At a guess, Lone would say it had at least three or four million residents. A good majority of the city had been carved out of the valley as if it had once been a mountain. An artificial valley of this size would be a monumental architectural feat. It was a shame it didn't trigger his Historical and Cultural Appreciation…

"First," Lone said, "Introductions. I'll apologise for my earlier curtness, though I'm sure you can understand it. I am Lone Immortus, Immortus the Immortal, gold-silver plate adventurer. I watched my mentor die today and was then attacked by your - brother, was it? - while I was grieving. Were I an ordinary blood mage of little ability, I would have been murdered in cold blood for no fuckin' reason." The man with short blonde hair grimaced. "I can do nothing but express my deepest condolences for your…
