Chapter 198

Lily POV

Word travels fast in a school like Goldencrest, especially if it pertains to a certain royal member. The disappearance of the princess was on everyone’s lips as she hustled to the school’s gates. However, Lily didn’t really care about the princess given the situation. 

While almost everybody was focused on the princess, they had forgotten that another person had disappeared alongside her. 

“Wait up Lily!” She heard Aubrey call fr...

Chapter 197

“Stay back this time,” he told Reinera. He had been allowing her opportunities to practice against the stragglers, but this time he didn’t believe that would be a good choice. 

Something was up ahead and it was very powerful. This wasn’t the usual undead they had been fighting. This was different. The aura it gave off demonstrated that this was something that was something he needed to take seriously. 

Luckily, she didn’t try to argue with him, she appeared to ...

Chapter 196

He quickly walked up to the chest with anticipation clear on his face. 

This was his first treasure chest and he was going to savor it. When he had heard that chests appeared in labyrinth rifts, he had gotten very excited. He always wanted to be a treasure hunter when he was a young boy.

These chests were a big reason why labyrinth rifts, while dangerous, were highly sought after. The items they contained could be very intriguing and powerful. 

Though he didn’t c...

Chapter 195

Julius was doing great. He had a big smile on his face he decapitated another wolf. He was having more fun than he thought he would. These undead monsters weren’t that strong, but he did see them progressively getting stronger as they made their way down the labyrinth. The wolves were now putting up some resistance to his will. 

Instead of being completely frozen the wolves could now slowly crawl toward the two of them. If they weren’t still trying to eat them, he would have gi...

Chapter 194

Now that he knew that she was actually Grace, a fact that was still taking time to fully grasp inside of his small brain. He felt much more comfortable showing her some of his true strength. 

Even though she had hidden a pretty big secret from him, he didn’t blame her. In fact, he was impressed at how well she did it. He could probably take some notes from her.

He also trusted her, as weird as that sounded, he still trusted her. After all, she was still Grace and someone he...

Chapter 193

Reinera POV

Reinera was a mess. Not even her focus skill was able to rein her emotions in. She could not actually believe that things ended up this way. What were the odds?

This might have been the single worst possible way she wanted to tell Julius about her secrets. She was not prepared for this situation at all. 

Not to mention that she would be probably dying here pretty soon and knowing that she dragged Julius along didn’t do anything for her gui...

Chapter 192

He was proud to say that this was not the first time he had been teleported before, but he could honestly say that this was a new feeling for him. It was like being tilted upside down and getting swung by his feet like the blades of a helicopter.

However, when he opened his eyes he felt fine. It was like vertigo was suddenly gone.

He still felt the person’s hand tucked tightly into his and turned to see who was still grabbing his hand. And he was slightly shocked to see who it w...

Chapter 191

Julius watched as the group of students followed Professor Rowe into the rift.

Today in Applied Combat, they would be entering a new kind of rift. This rift was a bit different from the other they had been delving into for the past week. This specific rift was a labyrinth type. 

That one single detail automatically made the rift much more dangerous than the last rift they had been delving into.

Labyrinth-type rifts were pretty rare. Out of a hundred rifts, you would onl...

Chapter 190

His ability to detect the tracker’s position wasn’t as accurate as he wished it could be. It was more like a broad compass than an exact location. He could sense the little blimp of mana but couldn’t calculate the distance from the target.

However, as far as he could tell, Grace hadn’t moved yet, which made sense since she usually stayed at the library until class started anyway.

He felt a little bit like a detective as he did this, which made it twice as exciting after th...

Chapter 189

When the weekend rolled around Julius had managed to ask Declan about a couple of things. For one he managed to get back the rift access card with a little bit of arguing. However, luckily for him, he had come prepared. He spent the entire week beforehand coming up with logical arguments that Declan would find difficult to refute.

Thankfully, it worked out perfectly. His preparation allowed him a landslide victory, poor Declan didn’t even have a chance. He handed over the access card ...

Chapter 188

As he mentioned before, he found himself a new hobby. Well, it wasn’t exactly a new hobby, but rather one he was re-exploring. It came as a shock but since he had come to Goldencrest, he realized he hadn’t really cooked a proper meal for himself. 

That was the reason he went to Gabriel for assistance. However, the bald and beefy professor gave him the most confused look when Julius asked if there was a way for him to use any of the school’s facilities to cook for himself.

Chapter 187

Julius was impressed. Polux was much stronger than he thought he expected. He had even been forced to use his constructs. That wasn’t something to be taken lightly. Julius had been confident that he could handle all Tier 2s without using his fire affinity. 

However, the beastkin boy had this amazing berserker skill that utilized aura. It was for sure a high-ranking rare skill. In fact, Julius was able to sense that Polux was getting close to reaching a Concept himself. 

Chapter 186

Eventually, after some thought, Julius shook his head. “I don’t really mind that much. Sure it can be annoying when a bunch of brats think poorly of me, but at the end of the day, their opinions don’t affect me that much. I got more important things to worry about.”

Polux frowned and looked lost in contemplation. Julius didn’t interrupt him either, it looked like the beastkin boy was trying to grasp Julius’s explanation. “So what? You pretend to be weak because you don’t...

Chapter 185

With Lily currently being a dead end until she can find anything with her contacts, he started to entertain his other idea. He still had the favor from Lord Lagos in his back pocket. However, he didn’t know how much he could ask for. 

This wasn’t a simple favor like gaining rift access, this was a favor that could potentially put Lord Lagos in a bad spot if anyone from House Greyson noticed the lord investigating their activities in Heston.

There was also still the import...

Chapter 184

His team went through the rest of the rift without much issue. Each one of them was responsible and understood their roles well. Nobody tried to do too much and were all supportive of each other. That was something that was rare in a newly formed team, Julius remembered that much from his previous life even without magic.

He wished the other group of girls were the same. However, they weren’t. He almost felt bad for Mitchell. The poor man was rubbing his forehead so much Julius was wo...

Chapter 183

Joshua saw him approach and met him halfway. “Where did you go?” The boy asked curiously.

“What did you think I ditched the group?” Julius teased.

“No, of course not. I ju-” he stopped what he was going to say when he saw who Julius had brought along. “Huh. Hello, Tia.”

Tia gave Joshua an anxious wave in return. “Hey.”

“Have you reconsidered my offer? I thought you were planning to go solo?” Joshua asked.

“I was. But Julius was very conv...

Chapter 182

Today was an exciting day. At least for many of the students in his class. 

Today was the day that they would finally be able to delve into a dungeon. After many repeated weeks of students fighting monsters and getting used to combat, Professor Rowe was taking them into a Tier 2 Rift. 

This meant a couple of things. One this would be the first exercise where students could actually get hurt. There would no longer be any combat simulation bracelets to mitigate damage. If ...

Chapter 181

Past Julius would have thought that the second he had healed his soul, he would be back to training like he had been. 

However, the new Julius had different plans. New Julius was smarter than old Julius and had a good idea. Or at least an idea that he believed was good. He didn’t think the others quite agreed with him.

The idea consisted of continuing to use the suppression device that Dante made. He had learned that the bracelet had a wonderful ability to help his mana con...

Chapter 180

“What? When did this happen? I thought it would take longer than a month,” Aubrey exclaimed.

“What can I say? I guess I am just an overachiever,” Julius said smugly to her. She gave him a hard nudge on the shoulders in return but had a hidden grin on her face.

All six of them were walking down the beach after they ate dinner. He had been explaining the general gist of what happened while all of them had been walking. He hadn’t had the opportunity yesterday when he was co...

Chapter 179

“Is there a reason why you are so convinced I should take it?” Julius asked Alice.

“Several actually, but the main one is that your healing skill is already such a crucial part of your skill set that losing it could potentially hurt you more than you would want. Even though you can still learn another healing skill, possibly a Phoenix-related one, it is a huge risk. One I don’t think you need to take.”

He wasn’t exactly disagreeing with her either. He was leaning towar...

Chapter 178

“I’m not trying to say anything. I just want to know what happened and what you remember happening,” she said.

He didn’t see the point in not telling her. She deserved to know, considering all the help she had given him.

“During the blast, I managed to obtain a Concept of Phoenix,” he told her.

“During the blast?” She asked skeptically.

“Why, what do you think happened?” He asked her. He had a feeling she already had a theory in the works.

Chapter 177

He must have fallen asleep. However, when he woke up he was still covered in ash. On the bright side, he had all of his limbs attached to his body. 

That was something to be celebrated.

In fact, he felt really good. He didn’t remember a time when he felt as refreshed as this. He was still naked and covered in ash, but he felt amazing. More importantly, his soul felt more complete and more healthy than it had in months. His Phoenix Concept was already hard at work. Even the ...

Chapter 176

Julius awoke to an empty void. It was actually kind of familiar to the void he was sent to when he met Jasper for the first time. However, unlike that void, this void seemed much more comfortable.

It felt like the comfort of his own home. As if everything in this space was his and his alone.

The last thing he remembered was burning alive. He laughed loudly at that. It was ironic that after all the attempts to burn himself, all it took was someone else doing it to finish him off. W...

Chapter 175

He let out a shaky breath. There was no way to confirm whether or not, these men were working for Duke Greyson. For all he knew, these were just random coincidences. 

However, he had the perfect person to ask right in front of him.

He tucked away the papers into his own ring and looked down at the two people, one of whom was still unconscious. 

“What’s your name?” He asked him. This time his voice had much more steel in it.

The man unsurprisingly stayed...
