The group of crystalliers took them through Romastir boisterously, a combination of testing their movement abilities and pointing out the best places to eat or drink in the city. Zae Zin Nim was able to keep up effortlessly, while Kai was fast but not exactly elegant, just jumping or running after the others. Several of them had large crystals they could fly on, just like the mercenary Iroaki, but others relied upon boosts of qi to move themselves. Thinking about the Krysali mercenary took Kai out of the…-

There was only one problem with their plan to go to the Krysal City States: a clear look at Kai's soul would still send the majority of people running for their lives. He cultivated as much as he could on their way northwest, but it became clear that he wouldn't be able to reach the peak of the first stage, not on the small amounts of qi they could drain from the crystals. So they were left running the risk of discovery and relying on Class potions. Along the way, they discussed their other strategic…

Their opponent appeared to be fully ready to fight, so Kai's first analysis was purely martial. The arrival had an immediate impact, but his spiritual sight couldn't pierce the veil surrounding the figure. All he could do was use his real eyes and hope he could find some leverage. The Frontier elite was a woman with ageless tan skin and dark hair. At a glance at her magic he'd assumed that she was from the Elemental Nations, but physically she looked closer to Irunian. He got an unnerving confirmation of…

At first Kai had been overjoyed about his new technique, but as they traveled further northwest, discontent set in. Did his total number of monstrous abilities have a hard limit? If so, that would seriously reduce his flexibility. He wanted to keep his biting technique because it had proved so effective, even if it was short range. All his experiments with trying to merge it with the others had immediately felt wrong, as if he would burn away his power for no benefit or create a useless skill. It might…

After cultivating for a while to calm down after the battle, Kai prepared to take a step into the unknown. Most of his life he'd followed paths that previous generations had made, but it was clear that with his monstrous abilities he had no choice but to forge ahead into new territory. So once he was fully ready, he finally directed his spiritual sight inward. Name: Kai Clanless Total Power: 129 Cultivation: Qi Condensation 75% (18) Physique Level: E-2 (86) Soul Level: 5 (25) Bestial Traits: 11/6 -…

Once, Kai would have thrown himself out of the way of such a powerful monster attacking him. Now he found himself charging back at it, and it wasn't an impulsive choice. They'd seen that the Claw Tyrant was fast and cunning while pursuing it, and his partner was stronger at range. Fighting it directly to tie it down was the smart move. Before they collided, Kai swiped a hand through the air and drew on Rockspider's Claw. The energy impacted the Claw Tyrant, but as he'd feared it only flinched and kept…

After being exiled from the Hunters Guild, not to mention becoming half a monster himself, Kai Clanless had expected that his monster hunting days were behind him. Finding himself running through the wasteland to hunt down another beast was unexpected and he still wasn't sure how he felt about it. Ever since he'd gotten back out into the wasteland, he'd been awash in new sensations. The world felt brighter, even at night. He could hear twigs being blown across the ground. Sometimes he even thought he…

The last of the monsters were dying on the Irunian front. A few figures in liquid metal armor were still out there, cutting down those that remained. All of them were exhausted and many were weakened, so it was the perfect opportunity to target one of the isolated warriors. Instead Anaelina stood alone and stared toward the central wasteland. She'd never particularly cared about their "Frontier" or their silly ideas about monster incursions. When they'd all started making noise about how dangerous this…

They agreed to wait three days. Kai still needed time to fully heal and to digest the intensity of the experience, not to mention literally digesting all the new monster powers he'd acquired. Zae Zin Nim was apparently eager to spend time cultivating, having broken through to a new stage after so long. In any case, their next destination was simply the vague objective of the Krysal City States, so there was no urgency. Only a day and a half in, he spotted someone flying toward them and tensed until he…

Growing up with the dream of being a monster hunter, Kai had always known that it was likely he would die young. He had imagined countless deaths and ways to avoid them. When he'd grown older, he'd accepted that his fate could very well be one of those imagined deaths. He had never expected to be lying on a monster carcass with Hannagan Lantrian prepared to deal him a fatal blow. "You know everyone can see you, right?" It took most of Kai's strength to gesture toward the city. "Even the ones who hate me…
