The elves had placed Omilaena on a heavy whaling vessel launched from the eastern end of the Elven Wilds. She could blend into the mixed crew without attracting any notice, hopefully completely disrupting the distinctive combination of their trio. Since she agreed with the strategy, she had no room to complain that the voyage would be stinky and unbelievably dull. At first everything had seemed to follow her predictions. The whalers were all hard-working types without much imagination, and if she was…-

According to the original plan, Kai had been supposed to spend the voyage working on the mana and chakra plant that he had been given by the elves. He'd eaten a few pieces of it and tried to digest the strange merged power, but after a few days it spent all its time sitting in his spatial ring. Because it was finally time to shape the Thunderbird essence. He had all the knowledge he needed, all the other monstrous powers, and no excuses. There were no urgent priorities or lethal threats. If he couldn't…

This was the third time in her life that Zae Zin Nim had crossed over the great ocean. First to Deadwaste, then with the others to Rosemount, and now back to Deadwaste. The second voyage, braving the Blood Current, had been by far the most dangerous and yet she found herself nostalgic for it. She journeyed on a sleek elven ship that cut through the waves, yet it would still take two months to cross the ocean. That would have been reasonable enough in the company of the others, but there had been no way to…

After such a grueling battle, and confrontations with many of the most powerful beings in Rosemount, it felt surreal to go shopping. Kai wasn't familiar with the elven capital, so he needed others to guide him around the stores they needed. The activity was far from trivial: if his plan worked, these resources they gathered could be more valuable to them than any of the others they'd purchased. He ran his fingers over a chakra-imbued sheath that was supposed to strengthen the sword it contained. Would…

Even though theoretically she was safe now, Zae Zin Nim couldn't relax in the elven city. The time away from the Brightwind sect, just with her close allies, had made her forget how Cloudspire politics could be. They had killed three of the cultivators, but her father still had more Earth Souls. At some point he might even come himself. All her studies about dual cultivation left her even more troubled by those thoughts. There was some young master in the Coiling Island sect who wanted to marry her…

Half the city had gone dark by the time they finally broke free of it. One second Kai was running between dead energy lines, then they disappeared into the final buildings and he was free. There were entrance plazas to the north of the city as well, but there were no armies here to fight over them. Ceryyn woke up enough to run along with them and provide direction. Apparently the battle had swept over one of the embassy safe points, but they could still reach the one in the north. He was glad they had…

Name: Matiavel the Destroyer Total Power: 1860 Pureflame Demon: Diamond Rank (1000) Demonic Cultivation: Earth Soul (445) Physique: C-3 (315) Soul Level: 10 (100) > Heartbeats passed, agonizingly slowly, as Kai stared at the overwhelming strength in the man's soul. If this was truly one of the great powers of Rosemount, then fighting him head on was suicide. Kai had depended on Behemoth's Heart for a long time, but he had a feeling that if the crimson flame touched him, it wouldn't matter. Nothing…

It was as if Zae Zin Nim had awakened again. Fear gave way to a savage joy as she fought alongside Kai and she pushed herself to greater heights, channeling all that she had learned and cultivated against her father's sect. They wanted to take her back like some errant little girl, but she wasn't that girl anymore. Whenever she looked at Kai she felt another surge of warmth. He had changed - his body seemed to be shifting, flickering with a monstrous shadow every time he attacked. Yet he was still the man…

Despite the amount of time that had passed, despite how far she had advanced, when Zae Zin Nim saw her father's cultivators she shivered. All six of them had reached the Earth Soul stage and they were important pillars of the sect. She even recognized one of them, an older man who had always been a stern disciplinarian. There had been a time when he bowed to her and called her "Little Mistress." He wasn't bowing now. "It was clever of you to run off where they wouldn't follow," Anaelina was saying. "When…

Before the worst revelation, Zae Zin Nim had been shocked for a moment when Omilaena had grabbed her. The other woman's touch had been so forceful, yet it didn't seem like she was reverting to her old self. Her hands had felt tense yet confident, touching her only because it was urgently necessary. And then she had explained, which washed away that petty discomfort. Now they fled the building, hoping that they hadn't been seen and their presence would go ignored. Why was Anaelina here? Zae Zin Nim hadn't…
