Winning a battle was great. Benefits included not dying. But maybe Kai's life had gotten too easy, because he was aggravated that he'd won the battle and yet hadn't broken through. No matter how many times he checked, his Physique remained stubbornly at F-9. He'd pushed himself past his limits and taken a severe beating. For that matter, he'd eaten a drake fruit right before the battle. Yet none of that had been enough to take him to E rank. Was it stuck there solely because he hadn't eaten the soul fruit…-

Now Kai had no choice but to dodge backward from his opponent's careful strikes, because each one of them might twist dangerously. One of those strikes had destroyed his gauntlet, so he couldn't even rely on that. Both of them were injured, but he was being forced to move more. His opponent's superior Physique versus Kai's monstrous abilities restoring him... he wasn't sure who would win. One horizontal strike went much too wide, so Kai tried to duck under it and swipe at his opponent's legs. Barroguk…

It was strange, walking along calmly while knowing that a battle was impending. Oh, there was a remote possibility that the two elite mercenaries were following them to deliver a message. Or maybe to give them gifts because the Corinin clan had turned over a new leaf and was just so generous. Given their opponents' Krysali vehicle, outrunning them was impossible. Turning around to face them offered no real advantage, and neither side was trying to pretend they didn't see the other. Since one area of the…

Thatch. Kai hadn't woken up staring at thatch since he'd been a young orphan, not yet adopted by the Granfian clan. He blinked several times before trying to sit up. The rest of the room matched the roof, so he had been moved to some village house. After everything he'd been through, he expected to be in pain, but his body felt perfectly normal. Also encouraging was the fact that Zae Zin Nim sat on a chair beside him, cultivating. "Are you alright?" he asked. "Did Anaelina manage to drain any of your…

Fighting the Irunians had clearly taken a toll, because Anaelina bled from multiple wounds. Yet she still moved with ease and her eyes were glowing silver, just as they had when she'd tried to kill him. As she walked toward them, she flicked her hair back over her shoulder. "So stubborn!" She clicked her tongue at them like a disapproving parent. "But I'm afraid I'm not letting up now. There's something strange about you that I'm desperately curious about." Zae Zin Nim elbowed him in the ribs and stepped…

One of the most dangerous women Kai had ever known was standing across the garden, beaming at him. At first he had no idea what he was supposed to do in such an absurd situation. He wanted to attack her with all his new strength, but she was no doubt the new Corinin mercenary. If he struck the first blow everyone would turn against him and he would be vulnerable to her retaliation. Yet if she began using her draining aura in a crowd like this, the casualties would be terrible. Instead, Kai looked to warn…

Razz had never been shy about visiting the estate, frequently visiting the workers and other locals, but this time he sent a letter. That should have been the first warning. Just the idea of going back to Rayakan for another party should have been the second. But the letter promised so much... "Do I have to come?" Zae Zin Nim had already changed into her good robes, so she obviously intended to join him, but she was sulking about it. "Everyone is going to be at the market, so it's the most likely time…

The first step in Razz's plan turned out to be an unusual one: remodeling the ruined Lantrian estate. It had seemed like a complete waste of time at first, but Kai soon began to understand. Instead of hiding in a walled complex in Rayakan, the old Lantrian estate stood outside amid the farms. Still within a short distance of the city, but far enough away to send a message, especially when Razz had his clan officials give out gifts of food to all the villagers who helped with the construction. Kai and Zae…

"Looks like some illegal hunting." Barroguk hefted his greatsword up to his shoulder and sneered. "That's bad enough on its own, and worse when it's by someone who's been permanently banished from the Hunters Guild." "I took this assignment of my own volition." Zae Zin Nim spoke politely, but Kai could see that she assumed the conversation would end in a fight. She gathered what strength she had as she watched Iroaki circle around them on her diamond. "So you say. By the time this story gets back to the…

Even though Kai slammed his shoulder into the Gomodo's head as hard as he could, he barely sent the beast rocking back. Now that it was moving, it seemed like nothing could stop it. Zae Zin Nim had collapsed and he couldn't tell how much of the blood covering her was the monster's, but there was no time for that. He'd already seen that even her full power hadn't been enough to stop it, so attacking the beast head on was senseless. Even though part of Kai wanted to roar in its face and charge, he couldn't…
