Ch226-Comes Around

Sylver only had one chance.
At least, that was what his gut told him.
Aurick, formerly known as Nameless, was 2 and a half steps away from Sylver.
And luckily for Sylver, the boy was just that, a boy.
He was inexperienced.
Everything in Sylver’s body language conveyed that he was reaching for a handshake. From his warm and polite smile to the angle of his shoulders, to the way he turned his hip, all Sylve...

Ch225-What Goes Around
-
-
After Sylver had returned from his Fobur Plateforged rescue attempt, 11 days had passed.
As of last night, there were 7 mountains left. 7 chain links that were breaking down one by one.
Sylver was sitting in a somewhat odd location, but this way Bruce didn’t have to wait too long before he could rift through the giant Ki bubble Sylver, and his garden of fungus occupied.
Getting a mushroom to react to Ki wasn’t ...

Ch224-Rock Bottom
-
-
When he was younger, Sylver looked down on anyone who claimed to be “itching for a fight.”
To Sylver, a fight was an obstacle, nothing more.
Anyone who went out of their way to place obstacles between themselves and whatever it is they wanted, was an abject retard, as far as Sylver was concerned.
For the large part, he still held that opinion.
He had seen far too many people die because they didn’t go for th...

Ch223-Rock And Hard Place

Sylver wasn’t sure what he expected, but he kind of liked how professional everyone appeared.
Dark colors, masks, gloves, and no one was wielding a giant war hammer. Oddly enough they looked almost identical to the cultivators in Faust’s sect, except their masks weren’t skull shaped, or white.
Is this Owl’s plan? To frame me? Sylver wondered as he materialized on one of the nearby roofs.
They we...

TLDR: Chapter posting schedule will very likely be spotty for a couple of weeks.
Without getting into specifics, things aren't going very well.
The government is on my ass regarding my visa, but no one knows what I'm supposed to do, or if something is even wrong, my bank basically bitch slapped me due to a fuckup on their end, and to top it all off, I have a terrible allergic reaction to the nearby blooming olive trees.

Ch222-An Apple, A Day
-

Sylver kept the apple in a sealed wooden box he had made. He doubted something created by an enthusiastic spirit would get crushed by accident, but it would be stupid to take that chance.
It was an apple after all. A fruit that was meant to be sliced and served.
Without access to the Cat’s information gathering services, Sylver didn’t have the faintest clue as to how to approach this situation. He had expected som...

Even if Tarragon hadn’t specified the meeting place, Sylver would have found him. To a person of Sylver’s specific composition, the ground might as well have had streams of liquid magma flowing through it.
With Tarragon standing in the middle of the chaos, a volcano of mana, engulfing his surroundings the way a cloud of ash would. As the level 417 [Ancient Druid] turned, so did every leaf, vine, and bra...

The biggest bottleneck was Anastasia’s invulnerability.
There wasn’t always a magical solution for every problem, but most problems had a couple of angles from which they could be approached.
Take the emperor for example.
An extremely powerful man, who Sylver will most likely fight at some point.
His first option was to run.
Tuck his tail between his legs, and run away from the fight, until t...

Sylver double, triple, and quadruple checked his work.
He wasn’t doing this to buy time, he decided to open the box, and that was that.
It was more to do with the fact that undoing a 4th-tier seal, with barely enough mana to be considered 2nd-tier, was fucking hard.
And yes, while there was a fair amount of overlap between undoing a 10th tier seal, and a 4th tier seal, there was still more guess...

An entire minute of dead silence had passed since Owl had said that they wanted him to help them defeat the new emperor.
A faint smile tugged at the edges of Owl’s mouth, as Hound continued staring at Sylver as if he expected him to lunge at them. Even if Hound didn’t think the man sitting in front of him was a threat, he still took his job seriously.
“So?” Owl asked.
Sylver placed his hands in his lap, ...

Sylver adjusted the collar of his robe, as Faust finished pulling the last piece of blue jade out of the sword hilt Sylver had given him.
In hindsight, Sylver should have saved his trick with the orange fungus until after he was done pulling all the metal shards out of himself.
His skin looked as if a zebra and a dalmatian had a child, and then someone pushed it through a meat grinder.
It wasn’t the threads tha...

Sylver cradled the Mora cocoon in his left arm, as he jumped out of the fissure and landed on sandy ground. It was bright outside, and the fresh air felt like poison as it entered Sylver’s “lungs,” and reapplied salt to every minor wound he hadn’t had a chance to fix.
The sun blinded what remained of his eyes, and the sand underneath his feet seemed determined to make him fall.
The trip to the surface had been uneventful...

Sylver clicked his tongue as he realized the order was still wrong.
He knew his internal muscle structure inside and out, when he had initially made it, but because he wanted his body to naturally develop, it was now a mysterious mess. It wasn’t just putting the discs in the right order, Sylver also had to make sure they were facing the right way.
It felt like building a house of cards, but the cards are made out of meat, a...

Undead, as a species, were not creatures the vast majority of people would describe as “fast.”
Which was absolutely fair, even undead without physical bodies were usually limited to a somewhat slow speed, let alone zombies and skeletons.
Shades were the worst of both worlds in that sense of the word, they were weak, and they weren’t even that fast to make up for it. The speed at which they moved through shad...

He wasn’t certain if they did this on purpose, but none of the 4 men introduced themselves. But in their defense, Sylver didn’t care enough to ask.
The heir wore blue, so he would be blue robe.
Purple robe was the leader, at least that was the feeling Sylver got, red was purple robe’s underling, and orange was the blue heir’s underling.
Purple robe was in the front, orange robe second, blue heir third, re...

The maze was made redundant by the fact that Sylver simply followed the bright blue lines drawn on the walls. Aside from the shades he had walking in front of him getting killed by the traps they activated, nothing too interesting occurred.
The traps mainly consisted of darts, falling boulders, a spring-loaded blade, and a very odd spiked net contraption. The walls and ceiling closed in a couple of times, but Sylver could turn into ...

It sounded like rushing water, but in the violent way an intense river stream sounded, as opposed to the almost peaceful sound of a waterfall.
Which was a perfect analogy for what Sylver was seeing in front of him right now.
It was a river of insects, crawling over each other, to the point they appeared to be more liquid, than a great many solids. They were on the ceiling, the walls, the floor, it was almost as if Sylve...

The light that passed through the cracks above illuminated the area. If it weren’t for the giant patches of darkness in the spaces between the cracks, Sylver would have thought he was still outside.

“Who is this clown anyway?” Faust asked.
Given the presence of people Sylver was incapable of sensing, even when he was in the same room as them, he had to be careful when talking to Faust. He had his blood tracker, but who could say if it would work? Or if the person he managed to wound would show up again.
Initially, Sylver had attempted to speak in code, but he very quickly realized that ...

The reactions gave it away.
The dog and rat switched from attacking Sylver, to stalling him.
At the same time, they figured out Sylver’s extremely limited range for his abyss magic. Every time Sylver tried to breach that 5-meter gap they maintained, they worked together to force him away.
If this were a normal fight, Sylver would have easily sacrificed an arm, leg, head, or two, in exchange for getting a g...

Sylver had once visited a nation that was led by a corpse.
Not an undead, that would make too much sense. A ruler that doesn’t care about personal wealth, doesn’t need to waste time with food and sleep, looks at situations without emotions or pride getting in the way, is forced to think about the future because he’s immortal, can’t be seduced or threatened, why would anyone want an undead as a ruler?

A lot of things made sense, now that Sylver knew a dragon was being used to power the barrier. For starters, it made him understand the culture and mentality of the people here.
