Chapter 260 Michael stood in the middle of the newly furnished living room, admiring the results of a full day’s work. The stone walls had been scrubbed and polished, the wooden floors swept clean, and new furniture—a few comfortable chairs, a sturdy table, and a cozy rug—had been placed to
Chapter 259 Michael nodded, holding out the chest filled with gold coins. “I’m ready to make an offer. But first…” He set the chest down on a nearby stone ledge, letting the weight of it thud solidly against the surface. The agent’s eyes flicked to it, a practiced gleam of
Chapter 258 The smell of warm bread and seasoned meat greeted Michael as he stepped into the common area of the inn. The place was quiet, save for the crackle of a cooking fire and the soft clatter of dishes behind the counter. The innkeeper looked up from polishing a
Chapter 257 A chuckle escaped Michael. “The living train to get strong. Mine will train until they’re unbeatable.” And then there was the second notification. The one that still made Michael heart race. [You have learned Basic Combat Arts] Which meant… He could train alongside them and gain skills himself.
Chapter 256 The answer was simple. “For Awakeners, the most direct solution is to level up multiple times and allocate all attribute points to the desired stat. However, this is impossible for me to achieve easily or quickly due to my high level.” “The other method is to steadily increase
Chapter 255 Michael ate in silence, allowing the two to focus on their meals. Though they had only been under his command for a short time, he had already learned a few things about them. Ace was more outspoken, while Lia remained cautious, his thoughts harder to read. After they
Chapter 254 Michael watched the driver leave before turning his gaze toward the outer city. With thoughts flashing through his mind, he observed his surroundings as he made his way toward the inn where he had slept the previous night—the same place where he had told the two youths who
Chapter 253 Michael leaned back against the bed, staring up at the ceiling. He didn’t consider himself selfish, but this was different. His own body was just enduring the effects of the Soul Pool Fruit. If not for his emergency attribute points, he might have found himself in a similar
Chapter 252 The meal was great. At least Michael thought so. The discussion that accompanied it was just as enjoyable. It was pleasant, even relaxing, but to Michael, that was mostly it. Given his relationship with Mage Lian, it wasn’t that sharing a meal was unusual. In fact, they had
Chapter 251 “Sir Mic, my apologies for disturbing your rest,” a voice called from outside. “I have come at the command of the Grand Mage.” Michael’s brow furrowed slightly at the mention of Mage Lian. Still, Michael stood up and moved to open the door. The knight standing outside gave
Chapter 250 Michael wasn’t particularly familiar with cauldrons. One couldn’t blame him. Even in Aurora, they were considered ancient tool of the past. Fortunately, he had seen them enough times before to recognize one. The red cauldron in his soul stood on four legs and had no handles. However, its
Chapter 249 Thanks to his increased intelligence Michael was fortunate to get three new skills. Acid ball. Death Ray. And Mana Arrow. [Acid Ball (Basic Mastery) – Proficiency: 2.0%] Acid Ball allows the user to conjure and launch a small sphere of corrosive energy. Current range is ten meters. —
Chapter 248 After exchanging a few words, Michael watched Mage Lian fly away. Though he knew the old mage wasn’t using flight magic just to show off, sometimes it certainly felt like it. Not that Michael would ever admit to being envious. His gaze shifted to the distant corpses of
Chapter 247 Michael forced himself to calm down. In fact, everything he had seen wasn’t even the full extent of his gains. For some reason, he felt it—there was more. Taking a deep breath, he dismissed his panels and sat down, closing his eyes. He didn’t know why, but he
Chapter 246 [Your mana has increased significantly.] [Your mana is overflowing.] [Your mana is overflowing.] [Your mana is overflowing.] [Your constitution has dropped due to your overflowing mana.] [Your constitution has dropped due to your overflowing mana.] [Your constitution is slowly weakening due to your overflowing mana.] [You have gained
Chapter 245 Mage Lian glanced at the monster corpses before speaking, his voice calm despite his exhaustion. “The knights who followed us on the flying ship will take care of them. You don’t have to worry.” Michael gave a small nod, though his gaze remained on the fallen creatures. It
Chapter 244 Michael seized the opportunity. “Griffin, pin it down!” The undead griffin dived with a deafening screech, its massive talons latching onto the ape’s shoulders, digging deep. The sheer force sent the mountain ape stumbling backward, its balance faltering as Lucky’s fangs clamped tighter around its leg. Michael moved
Chapter 243 Michael’s eyes narrowed, his senses on high alert as he scanned their surroundings. Mage Lian’s eyes were fixed on something ahead, his expression intent. Michael followed his gaze, and soon, he saw it too – a tree, unlike any he had ever seen before. The tree itself wasn’t
Chapter 242 “Ohhh, a spirit crystal?!” By the body of the sand worm, Mira spotted a familiar loot. The conditions for loot drops weren’t exactly strict, but they followed a set of rules. For example, killing a human wouldn’t grant loot—unless that human had a special bloodline or physique. Why
Chapter 241 As the Seventh Prince departed, Michael took a seat in front of Mage Lian’s desk, his eyes fixed on the Grand Mage. Master Yuan stood off to the side, his presence unobtrusive yet attentive. Mage Lian leaned back in his chair, his eyes never leaving Michael’s face. “Sir
