The boy didn't grow wings or horns or crack in the same way that the adept had when Seraphia descended. The only change Calyn picked up on was the fact that one moment, Roka's eyes were a dark brown and the next, it was like a nebula of stars had replaced his irises. The smile that had faded from the young man's face slowly came back. Only this time, there was nothing friendly about it. It was little more than a predator showing its teeth to the prey before it attacked. The most eerie part was that the boy's aura didn't change even in the least. If he closed his eyes and walked past someone, very few people in the world would notice that something was up with him. His hands still behind his back, the boy took a step forward. Everyone present watched him take a step forward. He didn't jump, he didn't turn
Chapter 62
Sometimes avoiding a fight is how you win the fight. This was what was going through Greg's mind as he took the backseat and watched Morpheus decimate the necromancer. Greg had known right from the start that he was nowhere near powerful enough to take on the two seventh-tier mages. With that in mind, his task became rather simple, to make certain that the last thing the two of them would want to do is fight him. In this one aspect, his foes had inadvertently helped him. If they hadn't brought out someone to test him, Morpheus would have had to demonstrate his power using one of them. That's to say, a lot more of Greg's lifespan would have been burned away to achieve such an outcome. But without intending to do so, they had given him an out. They had given him a target that was only at the fifth tier. No different from the abyssal monster that Morpheus once killed. It would still burn away some of his lifespan, but no more than a decade, when all was said and done. This was part of
Chapter 63
As if nothing worth noting had happened, Morpheus stepped forward. Again, the world twisted before him, space and causality being thrown out of whack as rather than taking one step forward, he reappeared just a step away from a pale-faced Deriel. In a few seconds, I'll probably kill your father and his two friends," Morpheus nonchalantly stated. There wasn't even an inkling of threat in his voice, each word uttered more as if it was a chore than a task of any significance. By the rising terror that Greg could see in the boy, Morpheus' matter-of-fact tone was even more terrifying. "You, as his filial child, have thus stepped forward to offer your life in his place," Morpheus continued, an amused smile playing on his lips. Deriel had already begun desperately shaking his head in the negative even before Morpheus finished his statement. "Come on, you've brought your former bride and the future mother of your children along," Morpheus continued with a glance at Calyn and then at Nerissa.

Had he still had control of his body, Greg probably would have opened his mouth before wordlessly closing it. Despite his instinctive desire to argue against enslaving someone, Greg knew that Morpheus was right. Right now, even the perception of weakness could easily be a lethal threat for them. And much as he hated the present situation, he wasn't willing to die just to keep either Calyn or her aunt from feeling bad.The explanation from Morpheus had taken a second or two. There, however, hadn't been any awkward pause in the conversation as Calyn was the first one to react to what Elder Lina had just asked of Morpheus."Aunt Lina, Don't! I am willing to...""Silence!" Never in both his lives, had Greg heard that word spoken so forcefully. Whatever objections Calyn had been about to offer, died on her lips as she found herself unable to defy the command."Do you suppose that if I wanted you as a slave there is any force that could keep that from being the case?" Morpheus spoke, his vo

The three at the top looked at each other and in their eyes, the unwillingness to risk their lives must have been as clear to each other as it was to Greg. "We beg that you understand our position," In the end, it was Mage Hira that spoke up. Though Greg couldn't help but notice that she was careful not to step forward when doing so. "A child barely at the third tier claims to be linked to a deity. Even if it was true, we had to test it, otherwise we'd be thought fools easily tricked by every wild claim out there. The Mage Korath was picked because he was powerful enough to be lethal to the boy should he have proven to be a charlatan but no true challenge to your eminent self. We meant no offense by our actions and if any has been caused, we are willing to compensate for it," she laid out. Greg could see what his teacher had been talking about when she told him
Chapter 66
I will not deny that we hoped that the boy wasn't as strong as we had been led to believe. No one hopes that their enemy is strong. You, however, have shown yourself to be strong and we as the weaker party have no choice but to lower our heads in this matter. Our fates are in your hands to do with as you will. But I urge you to consider both options that lay before you." "On the one hand, you can be gracious and accept our compensation for the slight shown in this matter. I'm certain that you will find that we are very generous in what we are willing to offer as compensation for our transgression. On the other hand, you can also choose to vent your spleen and kill us. We wouldn't be able to do aught but struggle futilely for our lives. But even after you've killed us, you wouldn't gain anything other than momentary satisfaction from the act. Worse yet, you would have gained new enemies. The Draknar alliance can't lose two mages without an answer of some kind, lest it appear weak bef

Calyn couldn't keep the bittersweet smile off her face as she hugged Aunt Lina. The situation she was in was terrible, there was no question about it. But a good had come from it that she hadn't been expecting. While the woman had raised her in the place of her mother ever since she was young, she had never been the expressive type. That isn't to say that she was cold. She'd praise and congratulate you when you did right. She'd also reprimand and punish you when you did wrong. However, she'd always maintained an air of stoicism about her all through. Much as it now shamed her to admit, there were times when she'd thought that her aunt was only raising her out of a sense of obligation and nothing more. She had mistaken the fact that her aunt didn't wear her heart on her sleeve for her not truly caring about her.It had felt like she'd been thrown into a pit when wi
Chapter 68
Calyn wasn't suffering from any delusion that she would have succeeded. In all likelihood, she would have ended up a corpse beside her aunt. But at the very least, when they met in the afterlife, she could hold her head high before her aunt. But while her resolve had been firm as a mountain, that didn't in any way take away from the wave of relief that washed over her when the deity just flatly ignored her aunt and turned to her to give her the rest of the day to bid her family goodbye. "That's enough," Aunt Lina spoke softly. She was still the stoic, rarely expressive person she'd always been. After today, however, Calyn would never mistake that for the absence of love and care for her. Calyn clung to her for a while longer before reluctantly letting go. "Do not hold your father's silence against him. Knowing him, he's probably being held in the clan's dungeons to keep him from coming after you and landing the clan in even more trouble with the deity," she laid out. As soon as the

It was a testament to just how strong his body had become that he regained consciousness so fast. In the past, whenever Morpheus took over, it would usually take about three or more days for him to wake up again. Now, less than an hour since Morpheus had relinquished control, Greg was once again awake and in control. Olivia, who was seated beside him, smiled when she noticed that he was awake. "You played your part splendidly, Master," she complimented. Olivia had been Greg's secret weapon if things had turned for the worst. No one would have expected a deity to rely on a familiar in a fight, which is why she would have been a deadly surprise when she was called into battle. Luckily, that hadn't proven necessary. "Anything in particular you want me to get from them?" She then went on to question.
Chapter 70
From the silence that followed and the way Olivia was regarding him, Greg could tell that she wasn't totally convinced by his reason. Still, she gave a nod, choosing not to push the issue. "Fine, I'll do my best," she stated before turning into a mote of light and exiting the carriage. With a sigh, Greg leaned back in his chair and looked out the window as the carriage took him to an upper-middle-class area of the city. Even though there was still another two weeks before they hit the six-month limit that his teacher had set for herself, They had chosen to leave the hidden space belonging to the cult of the shroud. Right now, they were staying at a high-end inn in a well-to-do section of the city. Though his teacher could easily afford better, the place wasn't the best that money could buy. The reasoning for this was simple, until the whole ordeal with their pursuers was over and done with, they needed to keep a low profile. After paying for the carriage, Greg moved past the two b
