~Speaking of change,~ Luicus thought to himself, just now remembering that the system event he had completed had given him a few new unlocks. With that in mind, he quickly called up his status screen. ┏━━━━━━???━━━━━━┓ ─────?? Player Details ??─────? ! ─────?? Stats ??─────? ─────??

"I'll be waging war against the necromancer... and later, against the council. I'll take out anything else that poses a threat to the settlement you guys are going to build. And after that?... Maybe I'll come visit," he replied. The others were stunned at this. "Why?" Hannibal asked after some silence had passed. "Because it's the most logical line of action. At the very least, it means that if I fail, you guys would've made enough progress to protect yourselves," Lucius replied. They would be…

All around Pagan were a multitude of other creatures, groups from various races. To the right were the shrooms, perhaps the smallest of the groups, with the chieftains standing at the forefront. Directly behind Pagan were the members of the Internal Security Department, with Artemis at the helm. And behind them were the rest of the leaf beings. To the left were the larger creatures of the group- several dozen mole people, at least a dozen beaver-like humanoids, and a few other small mammalian…

"Shadow beam," Lucius whispered finally, right as the creature coming from the pentagram was about to be fully released. Using the same template as , took a large chunk of the energy he had, and set it loose upon the pentagram and its monstrosity. An almost solid pillar of shadows erupted from the cacoon and rammed against the pentagram. It didn't seem to cause any visible damage to the creature that was about to be unleashed, but it managed to completely destroy the pentagram from which it was…

The shadows in the room came to life, twisting and snaking their way in between the chaos of the clashing guards, before slithering past Eiknyr, whispering ancient nothings as they made their way to Lucius. Eiknyr froze in shock for a moment, before abruptly standing up. He stood at 2.6 meters tall, 3.2 with the length of his horns. His muscles rippled under the silk-black robes he was wearing, which fluttered unnaturally as the streams of shadows, rushed past him towards Lucius. "Mystic Mantle?"…

"I had to do it, I already warned him about speaking to me without permission," the voice said dismissively, before taking a bite out of something. Lucius so wanted to see what exactly was going on in the room, but he was not yet certain of the exact location of the energy readings. It would take him some time to properly map out where each of them was coming from, so for now he decided to remain quiet. "Like I was saying. You can all expect to attain high positions within the council after my father…

As he made his way further down, he began sensing more and more presences. At first, he pondered whether they were all coming from the guards -in which case there were many more than he had initially presumed- however he quickly realized that this wasn't the case. The additional energy readings he was picking up were dim, and not in the sense that they were too far away -in fact, he could sense that they were just a short distance ahead. No, these signals were those of a weakened creature, it was as…

Now that he had taken a step back, and scrutinized the almost other-worldly runes inscribed on the chair, he noticed that it looked awfully familiar. ~It's a massive circuit,~ he thought to himself, noting how each pattern of runes began and ended around one of the mana stones. Sure, he was aware that it might've been a stretch for him to conclude that. However, it fell in line with what he had discovered earlier in his magic weapons research. ~Still, I can't just copy these runes. Their effects…

At the moment, absorbing the guard's core seemed like the most logical, and obvious thing to do ~No... this isn't right,~ Lucius thought to himself, fighting back his urges. In fact, it wouldn't be too far-fetched for him to think that this was a sort of addiction he was beginning to develop. ~That much pain will definitely wake him up. And I'm not going to use such a cruel method to kill an undeserving opponent,~ he thought, almost as if he were convincing himself of his own reasoning. In the…

He could sense a few presences at the front of the building, and even more on the first floor. From what he could tell, that's where they were most concentrated. With barely anybody on the higher floors. ~Then I suppose we'll have to work our way down,~ he thought to himself, before taking out the set of climbing axes he had created, and using Elmando to anchor them onto the roof of the mansion. The renovations being done were currently causing a lot of noise, so he doubted that anyone would hear…
