A city that depended on seafare to develop its commerce, and economy was a wealthy city. Or at the very least, it was a developing one, who had the capacity to support a large population. However, in a situation where its commerce was abruptly halted, the city would end up being very vulnerable to poverty. Its economy could collapse within itself in just a few weeks, because businesses would either have to spend more gold in order to move and sell their merchandise elsewhere, or they had to sell it at much cheaper prices! Regardless, it was a horrendous situation to face, and it already left thousands of people unemployed. Timothy did not like this at all, because if the City of Fik was vulnerable, the rest of the cities that were further inland, were even more vulnerable, because they also depended on the one, big river that led to the ocean to connect them to the rest of the world. In his eyes, each city within a forty-kilometer radius was worthless now, up until they could eradic

“Watch out!” Timothy shouted.Despite the dangers that were approaching them, the team was fine. The dragons had seen the Ancient Sea Orcs leap out of the water before anyone else did, so they started flying up just a second later!The dragons flew twenty more meters higher in just under two seconds, and left the orcs lagging behind. No matter how big they were, and how much muscle may be backing up the movements of the orcs, they still couldn't make it far above water! They were heavy serpentine creatures, and didn't have wings, so they only leaped forty meters above the water before they started free falling.“That was close,” Ortana sighed. Afterwards, she teased, “Do you still wanna take the fight down there, Gussy?”“Hell nah!” He answered. “That bastard ate one of my lightning bolts up without a problem! Mouth open and all, so they're tough bastards! Too tough.”Timothy listened to what his friends had to say, and he couldn’t help but agree with them. He was shocked that there

Bluntly, Timothy asked, “How many roots do you need? I have a few ones that are a hundred years old.”Arch Mage Cornelius’ eyes widened. He was surprised, and due to his utter desperation, he chose to believe that Timothy wasn’t lying. He hoped that the other wasn’t lying, because a root that old could fix all of his problems that the younger mana roots had failed to fix. For that matter, he quickly answered, “I don’t know how many I need. The last time I dealt with a root that was more than a hundred years old, was when I was a little boy. That being said, I can’t predict the outcome, so as a start, can you possibly give me three of them?”“I’ll give you ten,” He promised. “You better succeed at whatever it is you are trying to do, because I’m throwing what could be almost two hundred kilos of gold away.”The Arch Mage nodded his head like an over-excited chicken, and exclaimed, “Ten are more than enough! I could even become an Arch Magus today with them, sir Tamalot! When can I hav

Timothy bought the Demonic Tentacles ability without thinking about it twice. However, it would’ve been ideal if he thought this purchase through at first, because in the situation where he added yet another dark ability to his arsenal, his mana pool would change for the worst. In this case, the ability wasn’t too invasive, but it still managed to push the dark side of his mana poop up by two-percent. This meant that the dark side of his mana pool had bounced up to seventeen-percent, taking that exact amount of space in the entirety of his pool. It wasn’t ideal, but it wasn’t the worst thing in the world either. The ability took two hours to implement as well, and it strained his body quite a bit. He didn’t feel any intense pain per se, but he couldn’t move much during these two hours, and was stuck on the chair, and therefore he became quite numb. Two hours into the process, the system beeped, [The Demonic Tentacles ability has been successfully added to your arsenal, and 60,000 s

Timothy had managed to protect himself from the swarm of hornets that had attacked him. Better yet, he had fought back, viciously, and even had one of the hornets stuck on the horns of his helmet!“Metal!” He grinned.Afterwards, he blasted a massive fireball against three hornets who were directly heading his way! He torched through all three of them, though, at this point he was also setting the forest on fire, so he wanted to be more careful.“I know what to do,” He smirked.Afterwards, he summoned the Frost Breath ability, and started blowing it at everything around him. He froze the remaining hornets solid within seconds, and the frost even blew over to the trees and bushes that he had set on fire moments ago. Just like that, he got the situation under control seconds before it could have developed into something horrible!Timothy figured that he could've killed the bugs in tens of different ways, but he didn’t want to waste too much mana on them. So he has tried to limit his eff
