Neave and Harel found themselves before Gabrias and Marven. The first thing Neave did was laugh. It was noticeable from a mile away that Marven had been tutoring Gabrias on how to look like a sect master, and Gabrias was getting very good at it. So much so that Neave couldn’t help but laugh at the absurd show. Gabrias stood in the middle of their sect’s main hall with his arms crossed behind his back. His rough face was stern and austere, while his height added to the imposing effect. He donned light…-

Neave stumbled through the hallways of the sect, clutching his head and forcing the influence away. With every step, he felt the influx of thoughts growing weaker. Perhaps it wasn’t growing weaker. Maybe he was just getting better at keeping it away. As he turned a corner in one of the corridors, he stopped as he heard a voice. “Neave?” He turned around and spotted Harel standing a bit down the hallway. Neave hadn’t felt her coming as he had been too focused on the influence. Miraculously, he…

Neave had the first thought for an entire day. Exactly how he knew a day had passed was simple. This time, he did have a literal hourglass to check, and the last grain of sand had just rolled into the bottom chamber. Ever since he left the loop, he hadn’t even once grown so dissociated—until now. Neave decided to let his mind clear for precisely a day. Under the influence of his enhanced cognitive abilities and spirit power working full throttle, the last day felt like months. Months he needed to…

The first thing Neave did after leaving Marven and the gang alone was run off to get a few things done. He took a quick detour to eliminate some snakes to gather a few of the nicer monster cores. Many vendors were bidding for snake cores, mainly because of how unique the powers inside were. Neave planned on gathering enough to sell for a large dimension ring. Whenever he gained a new ring, he would put the old one inside the new one. Naturally, having an infinite chain of dimension rings within dimension…

Neave hadn’t shared much information with Dukean. Not quite yet. While the spirit oath had confirmed that he wasn’t an enemy or a schemer, that didn’t mean Neave would just tell him every secret he knew right from the start. Even though he desperately wanted to. Neave enjoyed seeing the looks on others’ faces when he shared something unbelievable. He still felt giddy after Dukean felt his cultivation. Although Dukean insisted he must hurry and meet the others from his sect, Neave urged him to…

The ethereal purple puppets all lay on the ground, shattered in whole or part and flickering. The dragon looked worn out, gashes spread through its entire body, and one of its wings was broken. Carfen walked casually toward it, remaining vigilant for any desperate moves it may attempt. The dragon was out of tricks. It huffed and took sporadic steps back, screeching and growling at the armored man. The battle was nearing its end, with Carfen not taking any real damage throughout the bout. In the…

This place sucked. There wasn’t a bit of precious metal or gem to be found anywhere in the forest. That was the only thing she could deduce after scouting a large area. Sure, the trees were pretty and much more rigid than the fragile twigs she had encountered so far, which was something she had learned the hard way by bumping into one and falling on her ass. Besides that, there was little else of interest. The forest stretched endlessly in all directions and, as far as she could tell, held nothing of…

Neave had something of a plan. When he wanted to rush at the diamond-path cultivator and the probably-diamond-rank dragon, he wasn’t just rushing out to get himself killed. In three-way fights, he would always have the option of pitting his two opponents against one another. He would bet anything that he was faster and more maneuverable than the man wearing heavy armor. Although perhaps he was misguided in his thoughts, given that the armored man was on the diamond path. Nevertheless, he could at least…

The rift appeared near the outer border of the capital, and like a worm biting past the apple’s skin, it gradually spread deeper into the settlement. Countless sects jumped at the opportunity to be the heroes of the story and sent their best to protect the citizens. Many of those unsung heroes met their ends at the fangs and claws of the serpentine invasion. Yet even those most eager for death avoided the winged lizard's domain. There were plenty of people to evacuate and a whole load of silver-rank…

Dukean considered himself to have excellent intuition. After he heard the report by the group of men about the demon child, he quickly concluded. The young man he had met in the library, or rather, Deeze, was likely the brother of the rumored demon child. It was a simple connection to make. Dukean assumed that Deeze was in the capital because he was looking for his brother. It was, however, a total mystery whether it was to drag him back, reconcile, or kill him. Once Dukean had been dragged to handle…
