Clifford sigh, staring into the sky where the sun was now shining at its fullest. He heaved a sigh before returning to look at his reflection once more.

Unable to use the same method as before to reconstruct his current body, it left with no other option but to make do with what he has.

He tweaks his current one, reconstructing it to regenerate his lost parts.

The outcome, he became smaller, younger, and weaker than before.

He took another breath, weighing in his pros and cons. On one hand, it was convenient since he was lying low, but on the other, he was completely helpless right now, having his powers cut in half, and separated from his body guards Galford and Hallor.

“Regretting your decision now, chosen one?”

The voiced echoed in his head.

Clifford heaved a sigh, shaking off his unease.

“Of course, not. I’m just contemplating.”

He shrugs, knowing that it was for the best.

After fighting the silver knight, he couldn’t risk being found with the two, knowing they’ll be obligated to

  • Chapter 48 The prince

    Neighs of horses and screams of men staggering away echoed through the forest. The group of knights trembled in fear the minute they heard the humming sounds from inside. There was this immense pressure coming from it, that even the animals would not approach it.The caravan halted in fear that their cargo might have become unstable, as there was now a faint purple glow coming from within the confines of the vehicle.Only prince Eisier Vorelle had the courage to jump off his steed and walk towards it. Though a young noble of eighteen years of age, he had the built of a veteran warrior, having a large, muscled, and well-built frame, the young-man exalted an air of authority, even with a worn down armor.Without hesitation, he reached out for the carriage’s door, opening it in one quick pull.All those around him gasp, with one elder almost fainting, unable to bear the shock and tension that lingered among them.“It’s glowing.”Eisier gaped in awe, seeing the sealed box radiate with thi

  • Chapter 46 The corruptor ascends

    Clifford heaved a sigh.He accidentally heard the conversation between the two when he tried to communicate through mind link, unconscionably eavesdropping on them.He didn’t think they’d have an argument like that, but with his current condition, he thought it was for the best. So, using his telepathy, he connected to the elder warrior after stopping at a nearby tree.“I don’t think you need to worry about him. The boy knows what he’s doing.”His voice echoed through the wind, making the old warrior flinch at the repeated words.The man’s face turned serious, tensing as he instinctively grabbed hold of his sword, but immediately relaxed upon recognizing the voice.“Sir Clifford, where are you?”Galford couldn’t hide his relief, a smile arching on his lips as he searched where the voice came from. But this passed when he realized it all came from inside his head.It dawned on him that they were communicating through their minds, which meant that the man was still far away.“I’m in a d

  • Chapter 45 A crossroad

    Galford was becoming restless. It’s been a month since they’ve gotten separated, but until now, their benefactor, sir Clifford, hasn’t shown up on their rendezvous point.Still, they continued waiting, always gazing at the horizon to the place where they’d left him.“Maybe we should look for him?”Hallor walked in on the old warrior while he was staring into the forest. The youth’s expression was filled with fear and anxiety.“No, we wait here. No matter how long it takes.”Galford said in a hardened tone, remembering the conversation they had with sir Clifford before all of that happened.Part of him wanted to agree with the youngster, but he did not wish to g against their lord’s command.Hearing that, Hallor’s face twisted in frustration, grinding his teeth at the fact his master was being hard-headed again.“Many moons have already passed and we still haven’t heard anything from him yet.”He blurts out in frustration.The old warrior took in a deep breath, shutting his eyes to con

  • Chapter 44 Meeting the one

    Clifford wheeze with every breath, groaning from the searing pain throbbing from every part of his body. He didn’t think that he’d experience something like that in a temporary body.He didn’t think the pain would be excruciating, resembling his previous wounds from his original one.Rushing through the woods, he did not stop for anything; he kept his map window open, alert for any warning that may pop-up.Though he’s manage to teleport himself, thanks to having accidental copied Arty’s skill when he used it, he was unsure how far he’d gotten, being unaccustomed to it.It was only when he sensed some odd lingering sensation did he stop in his tracks, wary that someone might catch up to him.“It seems you’re at death’s door again, my chosen one.”The low, echoing voice ringed inside his head, causing him to wince. There was a pause before the entity spoke again.“Or should I say, your souls returning to your original body.”It was the being of the purple sphere, letting out a chuckle.

  • Chapter 43 To doubt or not to?

    Curious, the two youngsters went after the hooded person after seeing him get pursued by the silver knight, making their other companion follow. There was something about the mysterious person that made them feel safe and nervous at the same time.“Arty, this is stupid!”Marco grumbled in frustration; he was the last in the group as he hesitated the last minute, wary of the reason for their chase.It didn’t make things easier since they were so deep in the forest as the trees and bushes were so thick it made it almost impossible, along with the terrain being uneven made running a complete struggle.“Yeah, but I have to know who that guy was.”Arty huffed, taking as much air as he can while moving as fast as he could. He didn’t know how strong the hooded person was, but he was sure the silver knight was not someone to be messed with.“What for?”Marco frowned, confusion etched on his face as they increase their phase upon reaching a clearing.But Arty was too busy catching his breath t

  • Chapter 42

    Clifford reviewed the information of the person chasing after him. After one glance with his retrieved left eye, he gathered some basic information about his pursuer.Name: Erol FlintLvl: 66Job: Captain of the 12 creese.Affiliation: The temple of the light.These were the basic information he viewed, disregarding the other information as he didn’t have the luxury to read the remaining information, being too occupied in outrunning him.“There’s no escape, darkling!”Erol’s voice echoed through the woods, gaining speed with every minute.Clifford winces, not expecting that he’d get chased that long. They’d being at it for an hour now, but the man seemed relentless.Fed up with the situation, he changed tactics; from moving in a straight line, he shifted to zig-zag movements, turning from one tree to another to lose him.“Cursed dark spawn, you won’t escape me!”Erol grunted, annoyed by the sudden change in the hooded being’s actions, along with the increase in speed. It left him with

  • Chapter 41

    Clifford couldn’t help his laughter, seeing how the group’s eyes nearly popped out upon hearing him say their names. Of course, he couldn’t blame them, since he deliberately hid his face behind a mask.He was about to remove it when he noticed something odd about the things they were carrying. He frowned, suddenly curious about it.“You boys have quite odd weapons.”He tilts his head, rubbing his chin as he focused on the objects. Each one had this unique aura; upon a more careful inspection, his pop-up box finally appeared, giving him much fuller details. He now did not need to use his mind’s eyes, which consumed mana.It seems his body was still having taking time to recover, after absorbing his left eye. Thankfully, he didn’t need to do much since it automatically returned to him upon getting close, along with taking out all the surrounding enemies, including the boss.“What’s wrong with it?”Jack states, his brows furrowing in confusion. Though their weapons were the kingdom’s tre

  • Chapter 40

    All of them were in awe, gaping in sheer astonishment at the scene happening in front of them. Just a few feet away from them, they saw the boss monster kneeling helplessly in front of a mysterious being.Though it struggled, clawed, and growled with all its might, it was helpless in front of the hooded figured wearing the poker faced mask. As the monstrosity’s form slowly shriveled, shrink, and then piece by piece of its grotesque body fell off, turning to a purplish goo.Its malevolent purple aura that was uncontrollably scattering a while ago was now getting absorbed by the mysterious figure standing in front of it; even the mist like miasma seems to be getting absorbed into the new-comer’s body.“What the hell is going on?”Marco swallowed hard, trying to fend off the creeping fear inside of him. He didn’t know what was happening, but it scared him that there was an unknown person who was more powerful than the monster they struggled to defeat.His reason, being uncertain if they
