Ch. 210 - Perfect Timing

Depending on what was going on, the right answer was either to linger for a long time until Simon was in excellent shape or if it was to immediately proceed to the next level. He chose neither and instead lingered only a couple more days, spying on ...

Ch. 221 - The Last Day (part 2)

Leo dove into the pit like a falling star and the foulness that reached for him from the walls burned away to ash long before it touched him. The place was a warren of nightmares, and as he fell down the hole, he saw dozens of intersecting pa...

Ch. 207 - Getting Into Gear

Mentally and Morally, Simon was deeply opposed to blood magic, but after he’d seen what the Murani had done with some of their spells, he understood the appeal. Whether he was willing to do something like that to an actual human was out of the ...

The two of them debated both options for a while longer, without coming to any clear consensus, before Lucas was too exhausted to continue arguing with him. The most he could get the alchemist to agree to was that he would keep his investigations “surrept...

Simon didn’t use magic to fight or hide as he rushed the soldiers in the rear of the rush, pressing toward the throne. There would be time for that once the chaos started and children weren’t looking as much at him specifically.
