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 111 – Slaughter

Percy had come a long way since joining the Alchemists’ Guild. He’d learned a lot and honed many of his spells over the years, though if there were two things he’d gained the most experience ...

Chapter 168 – Outcome

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 110 – Devourer

The crow remained silent, staring at the young man as if he had lost his mind.

“Please buddy… Can you do this for me?”

Micky looked back and forth between Percy and the carcass a ...

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 109 – Regal intent

The knight’s mandibles opened wide, preparing to chomp the pesky human in half. Reading his adversary’s intentions via Soul Vision, the young man was ready to crouch beneath the monster at a mo...

Chapter 166 – Slugfest

Fighting against a Green by himself was arguably reckless, but the man was already two limbs down. If Percy couldn’t even beat him in this state, then it would just mean their plan had been doome...

Chapter 165 – Ambush

In the end, three more months passed in relative quiet.

Naturally, Percy hadn’t stopped sending out clones in that time, hoping one of them would stumble upon something interesting. Sadly, ...

Chapter 164 – Self-bestowal

“Another one.” Micky said, carrying an oversized rat carcass in his talons.

The distraction caused Percy to mess up the rune he was trying to carve on the snake’s body, prompting him to...

Chapter 163 – Mana conversion

Percy had decided to look for a mana conversion spell as an alternative solution to his problem.

He needed a lot of soul mana to lure the mysterious entities from much further away, and he on...

Chapter 162 – Farming credits

Unlike the previous times, much less of the black liquid seeped out of the walls. A portion rolled down to the floor, the rest sticking to the cube’s surfaces. Next, the material solidified, coat...

Chapter 161 – New runes

While Percy prided himself as a relatively fast reader, he was operating under a strict self-imposed time limit during this visit. Naturally, he couldn’t afford to carefully read all seven of the...

Chapter 160 – Shopping

‘Draw any three runes 300 times in total, in under 6000 rits, with at least a 95% success rate. Each individual rune has to be drawn at least 50 times.’

Chapter 159 – Magiscript challenge

“Wave begins. May your challenge be successful!”

Percy stared at the cylindrical piece of metal erected in the middle of the room. It was too short to be considered a pil...

Chapter 158 – Plan

Strictly speaking, the parrot didn’t need that much healing.

Unlike Gabe, who had been stabbed full of holes before Percy first found him, the bird had merely choked to death. They only nee...

Chapter 157 – Large animals

After overcoming the dizziness of the trip – at least it helped he was expecting it this time – Percy stood up, examining his surroundings. Lots of people were looking at him curiously again. T...

Chapter 156 – Parrot

While Percy had kept an eye out for any sign that could lead him back to the mysterious girl, he had failed to find any clues as he roamed the space between worlds. He wasn’t sure what the proble...

Chapter 155 – Spirit

Percy allowed his boosting art to fizzle out, as he placed both palms on his knees, breathing heavily.

While the creation of his clones had grown into quite a routine operation by now – a f...

Chapter 154 – Mend

The soul mana gushed through Percy’s channels like a torrential river, lighting up a silver maelstrom around his sternum. Tears formed and closed throughout his soul, but he didn’t pay them any...

Chapter 153 – Housewife

Nesha picked up the knives from the table, before leaving the hut. Percy was still busy using his new trick to repair his injured soul, so she’d deliver the finished tools to Mr. Dylan for him. View Post

Chapter 152 – Who am I?

Percy hammered the flat slab of steel absentmindedly, thinning it further with each strike. It wasn’t until it looked about to break that he remembered he was supposed to fold it again. Only afte...

Chapter 151 – Teal powder

Only once he finished the earth mage too did Percy finally allow his weapon to regain its colour, a scythe of glowing teal appearing in his hand.

Ever since he first mastered Crystallization,...

The four remaining nobles of House Tantalus stared at their companion’s lifeless body as it sank into the bog’s stale waters. They struggled to comprehend how the...

Chapter 149 – Blockade

“…multiple shallow incisions in your soul, before intentionally leaking soul mana through them to lure the fiends…”

Chapter 148 – Good will

Delivering his ultimatum, Percy doubted Sol would accept his terms. He’d made a whole lot of demands, promising very little in return. It wasn’t like he could help it though. After all, he coul...

Chapter 146 – Spectral fiend

Percy listened to the girl talk to her father for a while, trying to piece together the situation from her words alone. Sadly, he couldn’t tap into her ears due to their weaker connection, so he ...
