Chapter 177 – Ea’s Gift

‘Spectral Art, huh?’

Evidently, involving one’s trait in their magic resulted in yet another flavour of spell. In any case, Percy was glad Weaving had more to offer than just t...

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...

Chapter 176 – Stitching

Percy had chosen a Red host this time. The lower grade might be a little annoying, but this was the first soul he found today that was both sentient and in a relatively decent condition – right p...

Chapter 233 – Cascading control

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

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 la...

Chapter 174 – Gauntlet

Percy’s efforts to use his mana defensively dated as far back as his first month in the Alchemists’ Guild, when he developed his Glove spell.

That said, the flimsy layer of cyan mana had ...

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 t...

Chapter 173 – Rune delivery service

The clone’s memories settled in place, the events of the past few weeks rapidly flashing through Percy’s mind.

This time, he’d ended up in the body of a semi-sentient for a change! It w...

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...

Chapter 172 – Hot or cold

Percy was dying to explore the strange feeling, but he had to finish all his chores first. He spent a couple days brewing ahead for himself and his companions. He also sent a new clone out – hope...

Chapter 171 – Disgust

Percy wanted nothing more than to dive back into his work, having lots of urgent tasks to tend to. The looming threat of House Tantalus aside, there were only 9 more months until the lotus bloomed,...

Chapter 170 – Snitches and stitches

At first, the townsfolk stared at the ill-begotten tatters of silk in stunned silence. Over the next two minutes, Percy watched the colour drain from their faces, their eyes widening with panic. Bu...

Chapter 169 – Truth

A stray ray of sunlight licked Percy’s eyelid, causing him to wrinkle his nose in irritation. He didn’t wake up until a couple minutes later, however. The first thing he noticed was the stench ...

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.

Seeing the notification, Percy couldn’t help but crack a smile. This wasn’t what he’d set out to accomplish, but it now meant that even if the operation ended up failing, it wouldn’t have a...

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 t...

Chapter 167 – Operation

Percy fought against the pain and exhaustion to keep his eyes open, waiting for the others to return. Doing so proved almost as difficult as the battle itself.

Eventually, he heard the rhythm...

Chapter 224 – Trollsfury potion

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