Just as Zac was unsure of how to proceed against the seemingly impenetrable battleroach king the two arrays above the beast lit up once more. Zac immediately moved the bulwark to his front again, but his brows rose in alarm when he saw dozens of small emerald embers rush out every second, each fl...
2020-04-30 16:03:14 +0000 UTC View PostZac stared at the mouth of the entrance with confusion, not understanding who could have placed an array there. He couldn’t imagine anyone managing to sneak all the way down to the bottom of this roach-infested cave system in one piece and not leave a single trace behind.
The effect of th...
2020-04-29 15:57:40 +0000 UTC View Post“What’s the status?” Alea asked with a tired sigh, looking over at Ilvere.
The rugged warrior didn’t have his usual boisterous attitude after entering the town hall that had been turned into a temporary command center for the war efforts of Port Atwood. He rather looked a bit helple...
2020-04-28 16:49:30 +0000 UTC View PostZac’s leveling speed was shocking, taking just over one day to push from level 54 to 60. But he also knew that his way of going about things would only be possible for someone extremely overpowered like himself. The roaches didn’t pose any real threat to him, but he was still covered in shall...
2020-04-27 16:11:55 +0000 UTC View PostAs Zac once again started up his slaughter he shot a glance at his surroundings. The second floor looked mostly the same, though slightly larger. The same green crystals studded the walls, and the same frenzied critters were already charging him. He even noticed the same type of hole leading to t...
2020-04-25 16:50:26 +0000 UTC View PostZac froze in the middle of his rampage when he noticed the screen in front of him. The momentarily lapse in concentration allowed one of the animals to leap up at him, clenching its mandibles around his throat while trying to scratch open his chest.
The bite wasn’t anywhere near strong en...
2020-04-24 16:08:21 +0000 UTC View Post“You wanted to see me sir?” the young woman said with a shaky voice, clearly afraid to enter the large fencing room where Zac had been training with his shield the past day. "I'm Emma."
Zac looked over with some confusion, not recognizing the girl by the entrance. But he quickly realize...
2020-04-23 17:07:52 +0000 UTC View PostThings went quite smoothly after the bodyguards were subdued. The leaders of the Union were swiftly captured and imprisoned as the forces of Port Atwood were called over. Ogras wanted to summarily execute everyone to make an example, but Zac decided on a proper investigation and trial.
The ...
2020-04-22 17:23:35 +0000 UTC View Post“We’ve been used as a tool from the start,” Ogras snorted as he glared at Smaug, some killing intent leaking from his body. “I knew something was off about this brat.”
Zac glared at the young man as well, quickly putting two and two together. Smaug had mixed truths and lies in ord...
2020-04-21 17:46:23 +0000 UTC View PostZac, who was about to head over to interrogate the two terrified merchants stopped in his tracks when he heard Emily’s cry. He turned over with confusion to see the teenager clawing at the manacles binding a malnourished teenager.
“Don’t let those two move,” Zac said to Joanna, who ...
2020-04-20 17:32:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe scene below was even worse than Zac had feared when he first heard Smaug mention the slave trade. There were long rows of people kept in place by fetters, placed like cattle in small enclosures. All four races could be spotted amongst the slaves, though humans were by far the most common.
... 2020-04-18 16:45:53 +0000 UTC View PostAs Zac oversaw his people streaming out through the teleporter a thought suddenly struck him, and he motioned for Harvath to join him. The demon captain walked over, throwing a curious glance at Smaug with his wretched appearance.
“We’ve learned that there is a second demonkin Incursion...
2020-04-17 17:04:34 +0000 UTC View PostZac looked down at Smaug that was still being kept at sword-point, unsure what to think about the rapid change in his demeanor. It looked like he was truly telling the truth about his sister, but it wouldn’t be surprising if the second-place holder on the wealth ladder was someone adept at dece...
2020-04-16 16:43:40 +0000 UTC View PostA massive wave of electricity slammed into Zac’s shield as he imbued himself with the Dao of Hardness. The ball had been something similar to his own [Thunder Punishment], though the energies were far more concentrated. It gave up the massive area of [Thunder Punishment...

“Wealth trumps power,” the inscriber said. “Anyone who tries to cause trouble will get blasted by his variou...
2020-04-14 16:00:45 +0000 UTC View Post“Who’s going first through the teleporter?” Mr. Trang suddenly asked.
Zac was about to say that he would enter first, but he suddenly froze when he saw the old man imperceptibly glance at the new addition to Port Atwood's forces. Only at that point did he realize the problem.
If...
2020-04-13 17:33:46 +0000 UTC View PostZac grimaced at the suggestion but he couldn’t think of anything better to call himself.
“Fine, Mr. Black it is,” Zac said with some resignation.
He had heard that many Cultivators in the multiverse went by a self-chosen Dao Name rather than their real name while they traveled o...
2020-04-11 16:29:20 +0000 UTC View PostEven though Zac was placed face to face with the largest threat to Earth he didn’t panic. The reason was that The Great Redeemer was obviously not there in person. With his hazy appearance, it was clear it was a projection or a splinter of his soul like the one inside Salvation’s protective t...
2020-04-10 16:44:37 +0000 UTC View PostConsidering the circumstances Zac still felt it was extremely lucky that he went back to the monastery in time. If they went by their original plan to simply study Salvation’s belongings inside the Mystic Realm outpost they would have entered a state of false security while The Great Redeemer w...
2020-04-09 17:37:14 +0000 UTC View PostZac wasn’t sure what to think when seeing the old man getting down on his knees, but he knew that whoever was inside the silver cloud wasn’t a simple character. However, panic started to set in when he made a horrible connection. Between the silver haze and having disciples on newly integrate...

“I have no idea, but it doesn’t seem like it,” Kenzie said with some hesitation. “But it seemed pretty important.”
Zac frowned thoughtfully as he wondered what the old mon...
2020-04-07 16:54:21 +0000 UTC View PostZac was a still bit muddled from getting the news that Salvation had managed to kill so many people as a final act of lunacy that he didn’t quite understand what Emily was getting at.
“Who found what?” he asked while looking around in confusion.
“Mr. Trang and his squad finall...

Inevitability hesitantly nodded and muttered a confirmation, unable to read their leader’s mood as usual.
“The fulcrum teamed up with the leader of the demonkin inv...
2020-04-04 15:45:27 +0000 UTC View PostZac’s eyes widened in alarm because the scene was the same as when Salvation summoned the enormous head in the sky during the hunt, only on a far grander scale. If this attack was allowed to complete its buildup the face would at least be ten times the size of the last time.
Something nee...
2020-04-03 16:09:55 +0000 UTC View PostZac knew he was up against the clock as he rushed toward the sea of puppets. They had no idea what the enormous array in the sky would do, but he couldn’t imagine it being anything good. Since Salvation said it was time to join the unity it might mean that both he and Ogras would be turned into...
2020-04-02 16:05:42 +0000 UTC View PostWorry marred Zac’s face as he looked out at the ocean of silver puppets. He already knew the force that Salvation could summon was huge, but it was still intimidating to see such a line-up in person. The endless silver rivers looked like scars in the sky, and the combined aura of the puppets on...

2020-03-31 17:22:17 +0000 UTC View PostZac’s face soured when he heard that he would have to enter the belly of the beast if he wanted to evolve his skill. His initial plan was to reach level 75 and get his two new skills before assaulting Salvation, but now it looked like that idea was impossible to achieve.
He had already di...
2020-03-30 16:01:59 +0000 UTC View PostZac couldn’t bother with the cleanup of the battlefield, as his mind was too preoccupied with other things. He had finally reached level 75, and he was anxious to see the gains it would bring. He knew he had become extremely powerful for a planet this early into an integration, but this battle ...
2020-03-28 18:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostZac judged that the two leaders were around the same level as his demonkin generals. One was a mage while the other was a beastmaster like Verana. The beastmaster was named Jinan, and he would take a co-leadership role along with whoever Adran appointed.
The mage was called Tylia, and she w...
