Chapter 280 – Regret

“I’m listening.”

“I can give you a powerful spell that anyone can use, regardless of their affinity. It takes some effort to meet the requirements, but I promise you it’s worth it.�...

Chapter 222 – Diplomacy (1)

Percy dragged Nesha through the Whistling Woods, the two sprinting in the darkness. The moonless sky wasn’t doing them any favours as they struggled to avoid crashing into a tree. Plus, they were...

Chapter 279 – Tlaloc

“You know… saving you would have been a lot easier if you’d tried running towards me instead of standing there, waiting to be rescued like a moron…” Percy said once he was b...

Chapter 221 – Jason

Earlier

Jason had grown sick of tasting his own blood, but he couldn’t help it. Biting his cheek was a habit he’d inadvertently picked up over the last couple of months. ...

Chapter 278 – Rhaziel

The wine glass shattered into sand, the liquid vaporizing instantly as a tremor ran through the mansion.

‘What the hell was that?!’

It made no sense! At first, the kid had ...

Chapter 220 – Regulation

Percy allowed his thoughts to sink into the ethereal cord in his sternum, watching the live feed provided by Micky with bated breath, as the crow shared his senses with him.

His blood flow ha...

Chapter 277 – Mana Flow?

Mana spilled out of the prisoner’s pores, shrouding his body in a cyan mist. Like with Percy’s Synchronization, the influx of mana was simply too much to fit inside one’s channels. The only w...

Chapter 219 – Brown potion

Two weeks went by in a flash, as everyone pushed themselves to their very limits.

Percy didn’t actually get to spend much time with Nesha. Even when the two got a few minutes together, they...

Chapter 276 – Guest lecturer

The trio’s hurried steps echoed through the long corridor as they rushed to reach the auditorium on time. And they weren’t alone, several latecomers practically running by their side. Yet, Perc...

Chapter 218 – A favourable deal

Over the next hour or so, Percy brought Baldy up to speed on the mushrooms. Of course, he’d already briefed him on his plans previously, but it wasn’t until now that he’d come to understand h...

Chapter 275 – Bonds

“Are you sure about it?” one of the guards asked.

“Look at it yourself – the runes are blinking!” the other replied. “This only happens when the tanks drop below 25%.”

The...

Chapter 217 – New recipe

Percy spent the next few hours brewing Aurora Dew and healing potions, though his mind had drifted elsewhere. He was thinking over his idea, fleshing out the details. Alchemic principles were typic...

Chapter 274 – Reigniting one’s will

All things considered, going through the notebooks had been relatively straightforward. Percy had merely had to replicate a few well-defined exercises, without much room for interpretation. And he�...

Chapter 216 – Crimson mushrooms

Percy’s training session only lasted a couple of hours, though to him they felt closer to years. And that was despite Galahad cutting him some slack every few minutes or so, to keep him from pass...

Chapter 273 – Finding Leo

Something warm trickled down Percy’s chin, soaking the fur on his neck. The smell of iron filled his nostrils, his brain feeling like jelly. But he endured.

More importantly, his concentrat...

Chapter 215 – Domain

In the end, Percy managed to brew a couple healing potions by nightfall. In fact, things went even more smoothly than he’d originally expected. He only wasted a handful of mushrooms before learni...

Chapter 272 – Shards of glass

Glancing around, he quickly spotted a strange circle in the middle of the room. It was covered in even more enchantments than everything else, clearly protecting something extremely valuable. And P...

Chapter 214 – Growing mushrooms

‘Finally, I can get started on this!’ Percy rubbed his hands in anticipation.

Perhaps he was a little too excited to be working on his somewhat disturbing project… But who coul...

Chapter 271 – Wiseman’s Chamber

Percy arrived at the designated lounge an hour early, unwilling to waste even a second of his time in the Wiseman’s Chamber.

“Good morning, sir.” an attendant greeted him with a deep bo...

Chapter 213 – Homecoming (7) – Rambert

Several days earlier

A frog hopped atop a protrusion jutting out of the mud, its rhythmic croaks echoing within the depths of the bog. Big mistake on its part…

Sudden...

Chapter 270 – Last class

Percy carefully poured the contents of the cauldron into the funnel, counting each droplet as it trickled into the pinkie-sized vial.

‘…99… 100… 101.’

Technically, th...

Chapter 212 – Homecoming (6) – Micky

‘I wish Percy was here…’ Micky lamented as he stuffed his face with the fifth goblin core.

While the Whistling Woods were a nostalgic place for both of them, it was especi...

Chapter 269 – Blumbins

A soft flame burned over Lyn’s palm, bathing their surroundings in its golden radiance. Percy had to admit, he was impressed she could maintain the spell for so long with just an Orange core.

Chapter 211 – Homecoming (5) – Elaine

In the end, it didn’t matter much whether Elaine and Nesha rushed or not, as they still had to wait for Percy to wash up too. Owain was a highly impressionable toddler by now, and Elaine had no i...

Chapter 268 – Ink

More lumps formed inside the cauldron than usual, as the fungal tar Percy had added to the concoction had greatly raised its viscosity. The good news was that the lumps caused by the mud mana were ...

Chapter 210 – Homecoming (4) – Nesha

Nesha stood still, basking in the water’s warmth as dozens of tiny rivulets splashed on her shoulders, before trickling down her back, gently caressing her. Only after a few minutes of silent app...

Chapter 267 – Not a bad place to live

The next few weeks passed by in a flash.

True to his word, Percy didn’t miss a single class since he cleared the air with Dugris. Even better, he made great progress in his studies, learnin...

Chapter 209 – Homecoming (3) – Archibald

“How?!” Galahad asked, unable to fathom how Nesha and Percy could have possibly taken a single Green out. Let alone four of them.

Even Archibald was taken aback, though he d...

Chapter 266 – Valuable reward

As expected, the Pre-casting class was a downright humiliating experience for Percy. Even worse, unlike the hard time he’d suffered unjustly in Alchemy 10 thanks to Dugris’s pettiness, he knew ...

Chapter 208 – Homecoming (2) – Percy

Percy was about to start explaining everything to his uncle and grandpa, when somebody knocked on the door. And they did so rather eagerly too. Grabbing his bandage again from Baldy’s de...
