Chapter 763: The Greatest Enemy of All
The underground city of Cardinas was ruled from the Citadel of Pillars, if ruled was even the right word. It had been a harmonious place for centuries before the cultists and then the messengers bu...

It was no longer possible to see the forest of worms down the shaft. The butterflies filling the space had turned it into a lake of glowing blue and orange. The expedition group were above it all i...

Jason lay spread across a rock like deeply unpleasant jam. Colin, in an incomplete apocalypse beast form, continued battling the gold-rank spider mole. Leeches had crawled onto the monster’s body...

“You were being optimistic,” Jason told Humphrey. “If you kill a whole parcel of monsters in front of some elite adventurers, the result won’t be an awed crowd. It’ll be a cluster of wild...

The messenger device was an ovoid crystal held suspended in a rectangular frame of metal. The frame was some kind of magical brass variant, based on the colour and the magic Jason sensed from it. T...

Jason turned to look at Vesta Carmis Zell. She was extremely tall, even for a messenger, filling the doorway that had easily accommodated Jali. The astral king didn't look different from other mess...

Chapter 752: Worth Saving
Messengers rarely touched the ground. It was the reason Marek Nior Vargas had stood out to Jali; he often stood on the ground, walking instead of floating. It had drawn a lot of negative attention,...

It wasn't hard to get the messenger servants in line and Jason was soon frog-marching them into his soul realm. These were people already broken by the messengers, so obedience in the face of power...

Jason swept a couple of metres over the highway in a flying device that was little more than a seat in a roll cage with drone rotors. It was something he'd seen on the internet on Earth, with some ...
