After witnessing the fall of the Red Rose Count’s castle and Latilda rising from the dead through dark powers, Dunmel headed towards Blackfoot. He neither went to Leang to join with Loyal nor to Ambrue to save Kassel. Somehow, Dunmel had a hunch that Karlsten was behind the start of this incident and for the…

Arrows and spells shot through the air, belatedly released by the archers and sorcerers. The wave of monsters rushing forward consumed the arrows, and the Mozes tumbled to the ground in dust clouds. Numerous Mozes were struck down, and even more tripped over their fallen brethren. But these attacks were insufficient to halt their charge….

“There are twenty-six swords, twenty-two if you exclude the broken ones. As for spears, we only have forty-four, including the broken ones. Out of these, only thirty-five are strong enough to pierce the tough skin of the Mozes. The rest are just pieces of iron attached to wooden handles. We have four battle axes, but…

“Gerard, do you see? That’s my apprentice Themar. Did I tell you how old he is? Eighteen, eighteen. Can you believe it?” Stroking his short beard, Karlsten spoke with contentment. “When a father boasts about his child, he loses all sense of moderation, and you’re exactly like that.” Old Gerard replied in a raspy voice,…

The captain of the Lutia Vigilante Group was Koret, a man with short, red hair who stood a head taller than Loyal. He was so muscular that one might think they chose the strongest man for the leader. Standing stiffly before Loyal, he said, “Nice to meet you. I’ve certainly heard of the reputation of…

Before the meeting began, Dunmel quickly memorized the names of the six Lutia masters who were introduced.

If Sheyden or Gerald had been there, Dunmel would not have bothered, but now he found…

From a certain moment, the oppressive feeling of the dense forest’s shadow weighing on their shoulders gradually lightened. After walking for about half an hour more, smaller trees replaced the towering ones, and their senses began to revive. Even without Dethain’s guidance, Dunmel felt that Lutia was not far off. Very few in the royal…

‘Never forget, Themar. You are more talented than anyone I’ve seen. If you put your mind to it, no one can catch up to you.’ Dunmel stood on a thick branch, staring blankly into the distant forest, when he suddenly recalled his master’s words, left like a last will before death. ‘Why am I thinking…

“Ever since I was a child, I believed this place would forever be part of legends, unreachable by someone like me, a mere farmer. It’s a bit overwhelming to be here amidst the chaos, but it’s incredibly moving.” Kassel had opened his mouth for the first time in almost an hour since setting foot in…

Billy opened his eyes and looked at the bright window covered with curtains. For a moment, he couldn’t tell if this was the world after death or the reality of survival. ‘Or is it a hallucination right before death?’ Just before doing something foolish to verify if this was real, thankfully, Suvel opened the door…
