Chapter 501: The Frozen Scourge
MatoMato smiled quietly to himself at how quickly Ali immersed herself, already lost to the world, even in the depths of the Blind Lich’s domain, merely for the joy of studying some strange runes. He was no sage of mental healing, a battle healer at best, and so he’d been worried sick about some...
Chapter 500: Hidden Chapel
CalenThe illusion shimmered as he stepped through it, and Calen found himself on the other side in a hallway, much like every other in the dungeon, with dark stone walls and floor and painted murals along the sides. But that’s where any similarities ended.Of the ubiquitous crimson carpets, there w...
Chapter 499: The Well of Eternity
AliandraAli watched as Mato burned, disappointed that the nectar had not made them all immune to the Parasitic Nightmares.It even says ‘Immune to nightmares’, she thought grumpily. What good is that if the first monster called ‘nightmare’ doesn’t count?However, she really couldn’t compla...
Chapter 498: The Nightmare
MatoMato charged the Well of Eternity with a furious roar, his mind struggling to comprehend the grotesque mass of flesh and snarling mouths that lashed out at him from directions that couldn’t even be named, let alone seen. His claws raked through a Parasitic Nightmare, trailing sharp, jagged rib...
Chapter 497: Parasites
AliandraThe monster could not be. It simply defied reason. It took reality by the throat and impaled it on the fact of its own existence, leaving it broken and whimpering in the corner.Ali’s Sage of Learning punched her in the stomach with the force of an avalanche behind it. Her mind twisted, spr...
Chapter 496: Dark and Tormented Souls
MalikaThe dim candle of red life energy burning within Mato was nothing compared to the raging inferno that had been his life force before he had entered the hall. Malika stepped forward, teleporting herself straight through the heavy stone of the walls, arriving right beside her nearly dead, frozen...
Chapter 495: The Lich’s Eye
AliandraAli stopped prodding Malika with her finger when her friend turned and met her querying gaze with a dazed stare.“Uh,” Malika said.Ali waited, but she said nothing more. Is she ok? The ring looked like it might be cursed, what with how ominous it appeared. She prodded Malika again.“Ali...

Chapter 494: Tiers of Skill
A/N: 1 of 2 (chapter and stat sheet)-----------AliandraIce, it seemed, was very difficult to dispose of. At least in the sheer quantities that Haverron had conjured during the fight, powered as he was by an unbelievably obscene amount of domain mana. Fireballs just blew it around, so she had her Hel...
Chapter 493: Frozen Storm Armor
MalikaOnce again, Malika let her eyes search out each of her friends, one by one. A nervous gesture, she knew; an attempt to reassure herself that they were ok. Her eyes lingered longer on Ali as she worked to clean up the mess – they had almost lost her during the first attempt, and during the se...
Chapter 492: The Frozen Apocalypse Unleashed
AliandraAli’s heart was still pounding from her desperately close call with Haverron’s Devastation Rush impaling attack. Without her treant boss and Mato’s incredible damage control skill, she would undoubtedly be dead right now, with a high likelihood of her corpse being raised as a horrifyin...
Chapter 491: A Brush with Death
General Byron Dragovich, SouthportByron sat staring despondently at his map, hoping against hope that the moving shapes depicting the rout being inflicted upon his forces outside the barriers would somehow shift and magically rally. Futile wishes. Unfortunately, anyone with a shred of rationality kn...
Chapter 490: Battle Shopping
Aliandra“Hey, guys, do you mind waiting for a few minutes?” Ali said, already mentally directing the tiny golden dragonets flying around her domain. “I need to go shopping really quick.”“Are you serious? You know we’re in the middle of a fight right now?” Malika said, glaring at her wi...
Chapter 489: Forging a Plan
AliandraAli stared aghast as the gigantic runic greatsword tore Malika’s body in two. Crimson blood sprayed into the air, falling to the ground with the clatter of frozen red hail.Way too much blood.“Malika!” she screamed, her voice tearing at her throat with its rawness.Ice mana bit into the ...
Chapter 488: The Devastator
MalikaMalika stepped out onto the plaza, taking care to avoid some of the larger, shimmering formations inscribed into the black stone, keeping her eyes fixed on the huge Death Knight up ahead and the ominously glowing runed sword grasped in his mithril gauntlets. Two enormous skeletal frost dragons...
Chapter 487: Kiting Death
CalenNo wonder that thing was so ridiculous, Calen thought, staring in awe at the skill list Ali had just shared for the Grim Spark boss that had given them so much trouble.It’s a Sleeper!Lyeneru had warned him about the so-called ‘sleeper’ monsters. So had Nendir. Sleepers were one of the man...

A/N: 1 of 2 (chapter + stat sheet)----------MatoMato remained in his tree form, listening to the others moving around beneath his branches, feeling the sensation of his Consecration flickering and pulsing over the roots and brambles he had grown. He ignored the prickle of lightning from the coiling ...
Chapter 484: Lightning Loot
CalenCalen stood, invisible, upon the roof of the building overlooking the battle, wings dismissed to free up his stamina for Power Shot, and drew Cinderstrike’s bowstring all the way to his cheek. He channeled stamina into his bow, empowering his attack for a full three seconds before unleashing ...
Chapter 483: Ali’s Daring Plan
AliandraTime for a new plan.“Calen, is there any bare earth nearby? A park or something?” she asked.“Yes,” he said. “You want to use Mato?”“Yes,” she said. They had been naturally following many of their standard strategies to deal with the Bone Fetish. It wasn’t that their strateg...
Chapter 482: Hasted, Lightning-Enchanted Stabbing
AliandraAli took a deep breath and puffed air into her cheeks, surveying the remnants of her forces in dismay. Grim Spark was hunting them. That much had become abundantly clear over the last hour as they tried again and again to lose him within the ruins. Just when they thought they had finally out...
Chapter 481: The Grim Spark
MalikaMalika teleported behind the Death Knight, avoiding the powerful descending strike of the greatsword blazing with the blue radiance of its ice mana, and she unleashed her punches, refreshing her Soul Mark and stacking up more Soul Burn that flickered softly within the undead monster, relentles...
Chapter 480: Rule 4, The Power of Preparation.
AliandraAli had never quite gotten comfortable seeing through the Eye of Agnor’s ten different demonic eyes, Still, she had to admit it saw a whole heck of a lot better than anything she had ever experienced, save perhaps the True Sight of the Malevolent Oaks, and even that had a limited range. Sh...
Chapter 479: Devastation Knight
MalikaMalika waited for Mato’s transformation, watching the bear step out into the center of the shimmering rune circle and vanish. She didn’t even let the swirling vortices of mana subside before she followed. As her feet reached the center of the circle, the long-range teleportation magic took...
Chapter 478: A Mighty Demon Slayer
AliandraAli sighed deeply and rolled her shoulders, earning several loud cracks and popping noises as a reward. Splitting her attention between her work and monitoring the progress of Calen and her Shadow Dragon was a trivial matter for someone who’d attained the rarified heights of over sixteen h...

Chapter 476: What Lurks in the Darkness?
CalenCalen landed. Quietly.Haverron was far bigger up close than he had imagined. If he had been insane enough to walk up to the ominous Death Knight, his head wouldn’t even have come up to the height of his rune-encrusted greatsword’s hilt.Calen dismissed his wings, just on the general principl...
Chapter 475: The Lost City
CalenMaintaining a slow, steady trickle of stamina and mana to power his concealment skills, Calen carefully crept down the widening passage that seemed roughly hewn from the ancient ice and rock by ancient miners of towering stature.
