Ch173-Coming Home

As they continued to walk towards Sylver’s house he used [Advanced Water Manipulation] to freeze the puddle before Chrys’ boot touched it, and then used his shadow to stop her from slipping on the ice. He felt, and almost saw, several white blurs appear behind and ahead of him, but none of them slowed down to talk to him.

It was still dark outside, but the streets were already becoming alive with peopl...

Chapter delay

I had to put my dog down today, I don't know when I'll be able to write.

I'll probably be ok in a couple of days, but the next chapter will be ready when it's ready.

Slight Chapter Delay

Not 24 hours, much less. 

I had to do a thing early in the morning, and even with 2 cups of coffee my eyes hurt and are closing. I decided to use this lateness as an excuse to finally sort out a buffer chapter.

On the bright side, starting the next chapter, and in January especially, the story will have a much better posting schedule. And hopefully, this will be the last time ever that I need to delay a chapter.

That's about it, sorry for the delay.

Sylver had lost it for a couple of seconds…

A couple of minutes…

What had happened was that one of the bandits accidentally teleported down into the space where the dark elves were hiding, caught a woman Sylver didn’t know the name of, and teleported back up, and tried to threaten Sylver into surrendering.

After that, Sylver appeared right in front of the man, and stabbed him so hard in his dumbfounded m...

Sylver was wrong…

It didn’t feel like stepping from a warm room into a cold one.

It didn’t feel like anything at all.

When doing something, scary, for lack of a better word, the natural reaction is to close your eyes, hold your breath, and wait for it to be over. It was a reaction Sylver’s body no longer possessed, and during the transport, his eyes were both held wide open.

But even with that, the ...

“EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP!” Sylver screamed, and slammed his hand against the wall for extra emphasis.

The panic-stricken dark elves all temporarily stopped their bickering and turned their attention towards the pale man standing on a platform made from his own shadow, holding a solid slate of gold.

“Alright, thank you. Now, I am only going to explain this once, so please listen closely,” Sylver conti...

The fact that Sylver no longer had a human digestive system, aided him in more ways than one.

For starters, he no longer had any craving for food. Even water wasn’t strictly speaking necessary, as Sylver’s skin now absorbed enough moisture from the air to provide him will the liquid his body could possibly need.

His body’s gradual change also greatly reduced the need for sleep. There was still a certain unavoidable...

Sylver looked down at the next question and was surprised to see that this was the last one.

“I can’t-”

“-tell me, I got it… Poppy mentioned meteorites, and that Arda would be affected,” Sylver interrupted. Chrys’ body continued to lay flat on the table, as Sylver put his notebook full of questions away.

Turns out a great deal of the things he wanted to know had an extremely obv...

The dark elves needed a couple of days to get all the spies hiding amidst the “high-elves” out.

On top of that, Sylver was only 2 days away from adhering to Poppy’s suggestion of waiting 7 days before destroying the book.

So Sylver just kept doing what he had been doing since he came back from dealing with Eve and the other two.

Deciphering the grimoires he had taken from them, and writhing in pain as one of his...

Another 24 hour delay (next chapter out on 4.12.21)

To all the people that recently subbed to the Patreon, don't buy any lottery tickets, and stay the fuck away from places where something can fall on you.

Because damn are you unlucky right now.

Anyway, as the title says, the next chapter is going to be late by another 24 hours. I'm fine, just had to wake up early to deal with some government paperwork bs and now I'm barely able to keep my eyes open.

That's about it, sorry for the delay.

Chapter Delay (24 Hours)

I especially hate to do this at the start of the month, but the chapter will be delayed by 24 hours (probably less).

Without getting into specifics I've had a really bad day and I don't like what I'm writing right now, so I'm going to sleep it off and start fresh tomorrow.

That's about it, sorry for the delay.

What Sylver felt inside himself wasn’t what he would describe as pleasurable, but it stopped being “painful” a few minutes ago.

He was changing physically, but that was only a small part of it. Although it was barely noticeable, Sylver could feel that he’d gained at least a half-inch of height and that his hands had become slightly thinner and wider, even the muscles in his back were slowly shifting into where his soul dic...

Despite of the overuse of the metaphor, it was hard not to use it.

On account that Sylver literally regained the feeling in a lost limb.

If not for the fact that his head had just been sliced into two, and only the top of his ribcage stopped the blade from going any lower, Sylver would have started laughing like a madman.

Sylver pushed his hand through the wooden box, which crumbled away as if it were made ou...

Sylver watched the giant corpse fly through the air, and even though he trusted and believed Ria when she told him the Dandy-Lyon’s location, a part of him was skeptical. It didn’t make any sound, left no trail, and Sylver couldn’t see it or feel it.

And yet, the corpse turned into bright red mist, and coated the ...

It felt like an impossibly strong water current. If not for the thick layer of mana protecting him, Sylver was all but certain his skin would have been flayed from his body. Not flayed, pulled.

Sylver’s fingers burned with the effort as he continued to grip the quickly rusting metal doorway, and with each passing second lost more and more material to hold on to. As Sylver’s left hand passed through the rusted metal ...

“I am called Ruslana,” Ruslana said, as she and Sylver shook hands.

Unlike Irina, she didn’t have an accent, if anything her Elvish almost sounded better than Sylver’s did. It was similar to the way Zelvash spoke, but just the slightest amount clearer.

“Tod,” Sylver answered.

Both of them waited for the guards to leave, and then waited for the giant metal door to finish closing.

Now that he had a plan, and a way to “win,” Sylver almost had a hard time worrying about the fact that he was about to face a death lord and a god from another world.

Few things were as shitty as being in a position where you didn’t know what was happening to you and simultaneously unable to do anything about it.

Granted, Sylver would be hard-pressed to call his situation “ideal,” or even “good,” but even i...

With the shades helping out, cleaning Chrys up and sterilizing all her wounds took less time than Sylver had thought it would. Sylver even washed the corpse that was acting as her temporary lungs and used some spare rags the dark elves didn’t need to mummify it.

Sylver was still sore all over, on account of [Kindred Spirit Mitigation] running a cheese grater against every single inch of him, inside and out...

The next chapter will be delayed by 24 hours.

I'm not burned out, everything is fine, just not happy with what I wrote so far. I've started from scratch, but I won't be able to finish it today.

That's about it, sorry for the delay.

The smoke made things easier.

Especially since it provided enough darkness for Sylver’s shades to materialize. During his brief free fall, Sylver wrapped Chrys’ body up as tightly as he could manage without crushing something and took extra care to make sure her head didn’t move and snap her neck.

After he landed, Sylver threw the unconscious cocoon towards his destination, and hide inside it...

Sylver figured out the system they used after he raided and tested the 4th hidden room. On account of everyone moving around via teleportation, they didn’t bother too much with the emergency exits. Which was incredibly stupid, considering that one blackout was all that it took to trap them inside, with no way out.

But then again, considering that one of the groups Sylver had used to check for a match for Chrys’ blood cheered wh...

Sylver had a series of plans in the event the building was locked down.

The vast majority involved finding someone outside, attacking them, and then pointing them in the direction of the facility and hoping that the guards inside would let the wounded person in to save them.

Sylver had assumed that the dark elves had the Garden wide power outage at the ready, and could start it at any moment.

In reality, it turned out that although everything was ready, and everyone was in place, because of all the backups they had to simultaneously disable, the time of the blackout couldn’t be altered, even if Sylver was the one asking.

What they had done was replace several mid-ranking Leafs, and using ...

“I would like to ask a couple of questions,” Sylver said politely, as he gestured for Zelvash to sit down.

“I’m sure you do,” Zelvash answered, as he tucked his robe underneath his back and sat down onto the “chair” Sylver had created out of ice and a thin layer of [Necrotic Mutilation] so it didn’t freeze anything.

Sylver looked down at his hands and wasn’t the least bit surprised to see they were both still wildly shaking.

The grimoires were safely hidden away inside Sylver’s robe, and he made a conscious decision to ignore and forget about them for the time being.

Because if he did allow himself to focus on the fact that his master’s grimoires had been dangled in front of him, like fucking bait on a fishhook, he was so...

Chapter delay

The next chapter will be delayed by 24 hours.

There will be a double chapter during the month to make up for this at some point.

I'm not burned out, just had to wake up super early for 3 days straight and too tired to write.

“I thought you said 4 hours?” Rory asked, as Sylver limped over to the bar, and slumped down onto one of the stools.

“Don’t ask,” Sylver said, as the bartender handed him a glass of water, with a small piece of chopped-up mango floating around.

“If you’re done, we can go,” Rory whispered into Sylver’s ear.

Sylver rolled his shoulders, and both crunched loud enough that a few of the remaining guests tu...

“To start with, what are you doing here?” Sylver asked as he scuttled off the bed so the dark elf woman could cover herself up with the bedsheet. She just stared at Sylver for a couple of seconds before she answered.

“Who are you?” the dark elf woman asked.

Sylver realized it from when she had gripped him by the head, but unlike Lady Demor, this woman was a proper fighter. Her elbows were fucked up and covered in scar...

“Amaranth,” Sylver said, after a few minutes of silence.

“Rory,” the red-headed elf, Rory, said.

Normally Sylver wasn’t half bad at making small talk, but he was a little rusty, and right now, distracted.

There wasn’t much to say about Rory.

She didn’t have the kind of proportions that someone could describe using words usually reserved for cuts of meat. Her face was neither hideous, nor particul...

[Chloromancy] came with a certain amount of ingrained knowledge, that mixed itself seamlessly into what Sylver already knew about the plant magic he was familiar with.

As Sylver watched the plants slowly crawl and weave their way up towards the ceiling, he knew how big he could make each individual vine, he knew how much water each one needed to grow to the size he wanted, and he even knew the exact amoun...
