The implications of that single fact defied belief. Someone with advanced tech set up shop in the middle of an eldritch dungeon in the middle of silver territory. This was a classified area, and they destroyed it to hide something from someone. Either that or the Hybrid cleaned them out. I couldn’t be sure. Before I made any more assumptions, I inspected the rest of the room. As I did, I pulled out my obelisk and recorded footage of the area. Little else remained here outside of the stray flask of…-

Althea pointed at the destroyed arena, “I…You just need to see it.” She turned and skulked over towards the arena. I followed. Once beside the wall, I lifted us up until we reached the edge of the steel barrier. Exposing as little of myself as possible, I lifted my view of the monster. As I saw it, my jaw dropped. A bulging mass of flesh and wires pulled its mouth over a Skyburner’s neck. Tiny wires squirmed into the Skyburner’s body, draining it. The Skyburner still breathed, but it could…

Between the silver and giessian border, I spread my arms wide. The engorgs rolled past me, cutting off my options for escape. Their hardened shells clattered against the silverscape until they crossed onto the grass. The greenery muffled the sound, turning into a growl instead of scream. Encircling me, they tightened their looping attack. The engorgs reached within about a car’s length away before I activated Event Horizon. The aura crippled them, causing them to slow down. With pain fogging their…

Prepared for diving into the silver’s territory, I stepped toward the door of our room. As I did, a light voice chimed in from behind me, “Hey, where are you going?” Althea rubbed her eyes, sitting up from her bed. I raised a hand and whispered, “I’m going to find the Skyburner base. Go ahead and get some sleep.” She yawned while stretching her arms. Her figure showed in all its glory. As I admired her, she murmured, “Come on. You won’t even know I’m there.” Before I could…

Helios unleashed the volatile magic stored in his hand. The gray gialgathen convulsed, its mouth gasping out. From the inside of the creature, azure crystals grew from its body. Like a percussive beat, the expanding jewel resonated out a chilling sound. The shards sapped the creatures lifeforce, converting the beast into a gemstone. A fog ebbed from these crystals. The mist sunk down onto the ground, hissing as it burnt stone. Red shards of frozen blood pierced out from the gialgathen’s skin, the…

I frowned, already prepared to ignore this guy. Before I walked past him, Caprika raised her hands, “Now brother, I’ve proven my judgment to you on many an occasion. Would you mind trusting it once more?” Helios looked at her, his boredom fading as he spoke to her, “Surely you understand my skepticism? He’s under-leveled, and he hides his status. That usually bodes poorly. Even excluding those factors, you’ve chosen losing candidates on numerous occasions. Every occasion, in…

I analyzed the orb, They enabled the creation of city-states. This explained how guilds competed against larger entities like the Empire. Even if the Empire sent a fleet to a city, it might take months to take the fortress down. In the end, it wasn’t worth the waste of resources and time. Other means of assimilation worked better like buying a city or converting it. As I contemplated what the core was for, Althea’s forehead bumped into my back. As my armor rung, she rubbed her…

I raised my eyebrows, “Uh, yeah, I’ve fought against a so-called Tohtella frowned, “This is serious. Lehesion’s legends are told orally across generations of gialgathens. My research indicates he’s a level 15,000+ being, someone comparable to Yawm.” I shrugged, “Killed him. I’ll kill this thing too.” Tohtella sighed, “If you believe so, then I’ll take your word for it. Despite your confidence, I must inform the public.” I raised an eyebrow and crossed my arms, “Hmmm,…

The air around me burst outward as I unleashed a singularity in the center of a Skyburner’s chest. Its ribs snapped. Its armor ruptured. Its smooth skin split. The gialgathen sunk into the abyss, the creature caving in on itself. Air siphoned into the singularity before it devoured all the sound around it. All went silent, the battlefield quiet as a graveyard. In a flash of light and radiation, the singularity imploded. Another discharge of energy rippled outwards, sending spires of metal out like…

We left our hotel, each of us geared up and ready for war. We traveled out of Yildraza, the city lights shooting up into the sky. Torix hovered, keeping himself and Tohtella afloat with magic. Althea and I ran, destroying portions of the scenery as we leaped and dashed. We stopped, regrouping just shy of the silver’s territory. We stood in a circle, everyone looking at me. With cool wind at my back and soft ground under my feet, I stood up straight. I raised a hand, “Look everybody. There’s…
