Chapter 293 – Scaling

Percy was still struggling to fit the third control rune into the heating enchantment. And he needed to stack four of them, to craft a cauldron on par with his own. Even worse, he wasn’t satisfied with merely matching it – ideally, he wanted to upgrade it – otherwise ...

Chapter 235 – Trouble in Gentlebreeze town

An overwhelming rush of memories flooded Percy’s mind, bringing him to his knees. Noticing his soul wisp on the way back, he’d just about managed to put his brewing equipment away in time, to avoid breaking or spilling anything by accident.

A good shout, considering how troublesome this...

Chapter 292 – Alchemical experimentation

A few days had passed since Percy’s group entered Twilight City, and everyone was beginning to adjust to their new life.

Luckily, the 115th district hadn’t changed that much since Nesha’s previous visit, so the trio had found the inns right where she’d said they’d be. The accommod...

Chapter 234 – Bombstones

Overall, Percy and Noland’s setup was quite simple. That didn’t make it any less effective, however. Using the pure mana to defend themselves, and the gravity mana solely to quickly deliver the explosive crystals to their opponents, they relied exclusively on the bombstones to take out the go...

Chapter 291 – Chessboard

As soon as they entered the 126th district, Percy and Elaine couldn’t help but gawk in awe at the drastic change in their surroundings. The black paint had been replaced by white, while materials like obsidian, basalt and slate that made up the dark part of the city now gave way to alabaster an...

Chapter 233 – Cascading control

“…100.” Percy muttered as he finished drawing the last instance of the self-repair enchantment.

The growth rune was made of an inner circle, with multiple tendril-like features extending outwards in specific patterns, making it resemble a caricature of the sun. At any rate, this inner...

Chapter 290 – 138th district

Not every settlement on Remior took the same approach to security.

Some of the smallest, most decrepit places – like Bogside Town – didn’t even have a fence, let alone guards or a wall. As for the richer towns, like the ones Percy’s group had recently travelled through, they could a...

Chapter 232 – Self-repair

Percy’s top priority during this trip was the self-repair enchantment. While his reinforced mana had proven an excellent material for his constructs, its greatest drawback was that it didn’t last nearly as long as he would like. Even when he used his preservation runes to extend the lifetime ...

Chapter 289 – Twilight City

“Finally! It’s working!” Percy exclaimed, flickering the enchantment between states.

Technically, it wasn’t the first time he’d managed to heat the slab up, nor even the first time he’d gotten it to switch on and off at will. But it was his first time getting everything...

Chapter 231 – Ambitious projects

The last thing Percy wanted was to mislead Noland into ruining his life. Suffice to say, he’d made it abundantly clear that the Vault of Magic was a veritable dystopia, full of callous gods who treated their own children as trash. He emphasized that he didn’t even have a clue what Metatron di...

Chapter 288 – Promise

Every step sent a jolt of pain up his legs, his shoes already soaking in blood. Over the past couple of weeks, Percy’s group had averaged over 20 hours a day on the road. Not to mention, he had it the worst among the three due to his grade.

His only relief was the gentle breeze softly car...

Chapter 230 – Noland

‘Gods, I missed sending out clones so damn much!’

By now, Percy’s bloodline was more than just a fancy ability or a means of growing stronger. It was a way of life. A source of endless adventures. A window into the wider cosmos. Part of who he was. Sadly, his ci...

Chapter 287 – Gaze

“You still won’t eat?!” Acton hissed, his voice laced with frustration.

With a single vicious kick, he sent both the bird and the man’s corpse tumbling through a shattered wall like discarded dolls.

The veins on his forehead throbbed, the blood inside his veins boiling at the ...

Chapter 229 – Future

‘Ice, huh?’

Interesting, but not that surprising. All the composite affinities were widely known, so Percy had a pretty good idea what they were getting ahead of time. He still had no clue what Micky could use the new affinity for, though he certainly hoped the bird would get a...

Chapter 286 – Graveyard

The stone fingers loosened slightly, exposing the woman’s sternum. Unable to resist, Micky pounced toward the opening.

He was about to rip the core from her chest when another hand – a much smaller one – suddenly emerged from his own body, grabbing his beak. It was cold, made entirely...

Chapter 228 – Lotus of a Myriad Rivers

The lotus… a priceless treasure Percy had wanted since before he’d even learned of its existence. The only object he’d ever heard of capable of changing one’s affinity. And he’d gone through so much trouble to earn a petal from his family too, only for the opportunity to be ripped out o...

Chapter 285 – Welcoming the Holy Child

“I’ve been clearing new channels all week, but I still can’t figure out how this thing works.” Acton clicked his tongue in frustration.

Micky barely spared him a glance as he landed beside him in a flurry of feathers and residual mana. He had long learned to keep his expressions neu...

Chapter 227 – Rambert

“For a second there, I wasn’t sure you’d help us.” Percy said.

“What choice did I even have?” Rambert shrugged as he walked closer.

The only reason he was alive was because Percy had turned him into a clone. Of course, Percy had been pretty banged up after their battle, bu...

Chapter 284 – Burnt meat

Metatron pushed the seal into Leo’s body, aiming at the section in his torso housing the largest piece of Percy’s soul.

The mana ignored the boy’s flesh entirely, entering Percy’s wisp unobstructed. The latter tensed a little as the foreign object burrowed into him, but he didn’t ...

Chapter 226 – The prey and the predator

“I’m Rambert of House Tantalus.” the newcomer replied in a hoarse, raspy voice. Pushing each word out of his lungs appeared like quite the challenge.

“Tantalus?” Jason tilted his head. “Ah! Your families have been fighting over this province, right? But what the hell happened to...

Chapter 283 – Storage seal

‘A storage seal?’

Percy already had several questions, but he placed them aside for a moment to do some calculations in his head. Assuming that one portion of sizian meat was equivalent to one dose of elixir back on Remior, the spatial amulets that cost over a million contribut...

Chapter 225 – Shroud

With a wave of his hand, Jason released a colossal amount of mana in front of him, covering all of Percy’s projectiles like a blanket. At first, both the scythe and the throwing stars continued to stab at him, though they slowed down rapidly. Mere inches before tearing into his pupil, the Soul ...

Chapter 282 – 5000 credits

The Yellow golem was nothing like the bouncing balls of the Red level, or the spider-like constructs of the Orange level. It resembled a person, much like the Green golems, yet it was far smaller than the hulking monstrosities Percy had fought alongside Gabe. Its lean frame was covered in yellow ...

Chapter 224 – Trollsfury potion

Three orbs of mana rapidly flew towards Percy, each a separate colour.

‘Do they all do different things, or is that just how this weird mana type looks?’

Suffice to say, he hadn’t the slightest idea what would happen if he got hit, but it didn’t really matter. Whateve...

Chapter 281 – Extending the trip

“Glad to hear it.” Metatron said before sending him flying out of a freshly opened exit in the cube with a wave of his tentacle, leaving only Gabe and Tlaloc behind.

“Oh, and I noticed you amassed quite a few credits last time you were here… Tell you what… If you can get to 5000, ...

Chapter 223 – Diplomacy (2)

“To start with, I need your word that nobody will harm me or Nesha.”

“That’s not really up to me, is it?” the man asked back. “I can promise you the Divine Root won’t mistreat you as long as you cooperate, but I can’t speak for the Divine Order. The gods do as they please. A...
