It was that time of the year again when gifts were given and received. Zero wasn’t too sure of what he should prepare for everyone this year but he did think that nobody would reject good food. Hence, with some difficulty, Zero hunted and foraged for the best materials he could find to make a huge batch of Christmas cookies. Swift was startled when Zero called her to send the harpie a long list of people he wanted to send cookies to. While she wasn’t against making such deliveries, she had a better…-

Chapter 515: Parental Love Unable to come up with a good solution, Zero returned Sylvia her child's soul on the condition that she should no longer perform any strange experiments. All the slave and part orders that she made were forcefully cancelled. Zero decided to remain in the U.N.U. for a while as an envoy while he came up with a good solution. Sylvia was more than happy to assist Zero in his understanding of chimaeras and alchemy when she saw how Zero was willing to think of something for her.…

Chapter 514: Homunculus Research Sylvia dare not meet Zero's eyes. Her arrogant attitude from earlier was completely crushed with Zero's display of capabilities. In front of the chosen one, she was deeply humbled. Was this why Raj gave him the Red Phoenix's Pearl? Even if she didn't believe it initially, she had no choice but to believe that Zero was indeed chosen by the Gods to fulfil the last prophecy of the Great One. Her child's soul was still within the powerful doctor's palm and Sylvia was…

Leading Zero and Truen to where the twin magicians were kept, Sylvia stiffened. It wasn’t a pretty sight and Zero wouldn’t be pleased to find that she had been mistreating them for the sake of her experiments. Mistreating would be putting it lightly. The state that Zero found the twins in could be said to be at the borderline between life and death. They were in a much worse condition when compared with some of the other slaves and Zero was silent for a very long time, unmoving at the door. Truen…

With Jynx’s help, Zero and Truen easily secured an appointment with the elusive Great Sylph. As it turned out, all letters that were written to Sylvia never did reach her. In fact, the assigned proxy for Sylvia’s letters was Jynx. No wonder the banshee was so well-informed! For the meeting, Jynx arranged it to take place in the magician’s tower that Sylvia normally locked herself in. It was also the magician school’s head office. The school was highly sought after by magicians from all over and…

After explaining the concept of soul cultivation several times, Jynx finally understood it when Zero demonstrated how it could work by borrowing a few pieces of paper cut into little human shapes. Truen didn’t understand what Zero was doing as he poured a little qi wrapped in mana into the paper puppets and controlled them with basic animation magic. The paper puppets put up a small skit and danced on the table, amusing and impressing Jynx who decided to give cultivating a try instead of harvesting…

After requesting for an appropriate resting area for Misana, Zero left Bob in charge of her safety while he went with Truen to meet the infamous banshee necromancer. If Zero was expecting to see a hooded figure full of depressing vibes, he would have been utterly disappointed to see a young girl full of colourful eye makeup, thick mascara in a pastel-coloured puffy dress. Jynx looked very fashionable and certainly didn’t let the depressing landscape affect her personality. "Welcome, Zero! The…

The first thing Zero and Truen did after leaving the slave camp was to look for a guild or inn or tavern. Generally somewhere that they could ask people questions. However, U.N.U. didn’t have any of those things even if they were in a town. The undead summons ambled after the masters or worked mindlessly. The magicians spent their time indoors working on private projects. Nobody really cared about entertaining tourists. In fact, Zero and Truen were mostly ignored everywhere they went. "Excuse me,…

The next morning, Zero led them towards a developed part in this barren wilderness that appeared to be a town with very few living people. Zero couldn’t understand why the mini-map only showed a few life signatures even if there were many beings walking around. Not all of them were alive judging from the exposed organs, bones and lack of humanoid forms. However, what shocked Zero the most wasn’t the unusual sights or abandoned body parts. It was the lack of ability to buy anything with the currency…

The landscape was gloomy from above but after touching down, it was simply downright depressing. Zero didn't even know if there was any kind of life in such a place. If it was black and grey, it was brown or red. No signs of blue or green, the colours of life that Zero liked to see most. "I'll gather some dead wood for a campfire," Truen said. "Bob, rest up. Leave the rest to us." Zero looked around and grimaced at the dried creek. "Truen, don't go too far! I'll get everything else we need using magic.…
