Kessiah stood there stunned into silence. I cupped my chin, thinking about the message, “You know, that sounds like you guys are a part of Schema’s system now.” Althea looked over there heads and checked out their titles. I did the same. I took a second look at Krog’s right after Althea crossed her arms, “Wow, you guys will be ridiculous with the system.” Chrona squinted her eyes at the status screens, “It’s a bit…overwhelming.” I pointed at them, “Just answer the…-

I hesitated, questioning if there was some way of saving her. Maybe I could use the cipher, but my most ambitious project involved enhancing myself at most. Experimenting with something this complex would no doubt leave a lot of twisted aberrations behind me in my wake. That wasn’t something I could live with, and it wasn’t worth the trade-off. Considering what Yawm’s experimentation did to his followers, that line of thinking would cause more harm than good. That wasn’t the only possible…

“As for learning of the remnant’s secrets…” the Hybrid cackled, “I devoured one and assimilated its memories.” Althea kept her gun pointed at the monster, “Spit it out then. Who organized everything?” “A member of that coalition of mind mages. She’s the most prominent member of the Adair family.” I whispered, “Wait…the Adair family.” “That is correct.” The Hybrid lifted a hand, “Tohtella Adair.” Chapter Begin Torix sighed, “And my suspicions were well…

This voice sounded smug in the worst kind of way. The Hybrid attempted eating me multiple times, killed the entire facility, and was draining Emagrotha for power. The sheer level of narcissism necessary to question the necessity of this fight was staggering. So staggering, in fact, that I didn’t miss a beat as I boomed my voice like a hammer, “Oh, it’s absolutely necessary.” The Hybrid gained some measure of control over its movements, a different mind controlling it. It ducked and dodged…

I turned towards Chrona while pointing at the figure, “Wait, that thing is Emagrotha?” She shook her head, “Her voice comes from the pit, but it’s warped.” Torix pulled Althea, moving them behind the three of us. He smacked his staff against the ground while pulling out his grimoire, the pages flipping by themselves, “Prepare yourselves.” Torix snapped me out of being stunned. I smashed my fists together, my gray armor denting under the force. My runes charged in a second, my mana…

I turned towards the others, “Guys, we have a problem.” Torix glanced at the tubes, “That much is obvious.” “No, we’ve got one of them out on the loose.” The others skulked up to us, even Chrona and Krog able to fit in the high ceilings here. I pointed at the shattered container, “This is one of those life signatures. If what you guessed is correct Torix, it’s probably even stronger than the last Hybrid.” Torix stayed silent, his expression clouded with thought. After a few…

The vast waves of purple muck pushed away from us, my magic letting us dive into the abyss. After a few minutes of sinking down, Krog murmured, “You’d better not overstretch your mana reserves. I doubt we’d be able to crawl out of this before drowning.” I waved away his concerns, “I’ll be fine.” “I pray to Emagrotha your right about that,” Chrona whispered. Two hours later, we reached deep into the depths of the grimy tides. Thousands of feet down, we landed onto gelatinous…

I said, “What does that even mean?” “I don’t know. The sheer volume of energy is astounding, however. It’s like a continent is collected into two energy blips. I can’t understand it fully, but what I do know is this – we need all the help we can muster if we are to fend it off.” My eyes widened, “Are you serious?” “Most certainly. Find some of your previous combatants. Perhaps they may help us.” “Hmm,” I cupped my chin, “Maybe. I’ll have to check it out. I could…

“That’s quite the skill. How’s it already level five if you just gained it?” Torix said with crossed arms. “A skill tree.” “Ah. I suppose that makes sense. Never seen a tree do something quite like that, however.” “Outside of the one I’m working on, me neither. Good to have though.” It looked handy. It came with the same fluidity that my other mythical skills caused as well. Using the auras and words in conjunction came across as a natural instinct. It reduced the levels…

“You offered me a deal, so I decided to accept,” Chrona stated. “Hmm…I don’t know. It’s just I didn’t expect you to be willing to teach me something so powerful.” “Many have tried learning from me. Few have succeeded in any capacity. Offering my magic to you doesn’t mean you’ll fully attain its potential. The same could be said for the secrets of your own techniques. Even then, you’ve used your own combat potential responsibly.” That made sense to me. “Alright, so…
