chapter 60: hunter now prey later
With Joven and Keith incapacitated, Lucian and Harry immediately turned back toward the main defensive line. The cavern air was thick with dust, the metallic tang of blood, and the fading remnants of violent mana. The battle was far from over. A short distance away, Latisha was entirely cornered. Her opponent, a nimble student twirling a jagged dagger, grinned as he closed the distance. He could see her swaying, her eyelids heavy from the severe mana backlash of her time magic. "Out of juice, little girl?" the dagger user taunted. He lunged forward, his body blurring as he executed a rapid series of thrusts aimed at her throat and chest. Latisha didn't panic. With a flick of her wrist, her storage ring flashed. A pair of heavy, iron-reinforced tonfas materialized in her hands. She caught the hilts with practiced ease, crossing the metal guards just in time to catch the incoming blade. Clang! Clang! Clang! The dagger sparked furiously against the reinforced iron. Even running on
chapter 59: monsters don't get tired of hunting
Meanwhile Lucian was locked in a fight with a student who wielded a saber. With his gauntlets coated with his aura he deflected his opponent's fast saber attacks. Both men were forced back instantly. Lucian's boots skidded across the gritty cavern floor, digging deep into the dirt to kill his momentum. Across from him, the saber wielder spun his weapon in a tight, defensive circle. The air around the blade hummed, distorted by a sharp, pale green saber aura. "You're pretty good for a guy who's been playing bait for monsters all afternoon," the student said, his chest heaving slightly as he adjusted his grip on the hilt. "Name's Keith. Don't forget it when you crawl out of here empty-handed." Lucian didn't answer. He simply dropped into a low, heavy stance, his knees bent and his weight centered. His yellow aura flared around his fists, shifting and bubbling like liquid fire over his iron gauntlets. He didn't look like a traditional martial artist. His guard was high, his chin tuc
chapter 58: Unfair negotiation
"We won't be giving up anything. I suggest you walk away." Harry’s voice was sharp and cold, leaving no room for negotiation. Blue electricity flickered and arced from his elbow down to his hand. The leader of the opposing group, a tall, broad-shouldered boy named Joven, just laughed. He took a step forward, his hands resting casually on the hilt of his sword with a mocking smirk. "Don't you understand the state you’re in?" Joven asked, shaking his head. "You’ve slaughtered beast after beast. It would be a shame to get beaten up badly now, right after all that hard work, especially when you’ll end up losing all those crystals anyway." He was right, and the truth hung heavy in the air. A quick glance at their own group told the whole story. Latisha was spent. She stood slightly apart, breathing heavily, her usually bright eyes dimmed with exhaustion. Her time magic was incredibly powerful, but it consumed mana at a terrifying rate. She had trained hard in hand-to-hand combat to com
Chapter 57:Underground Crystalline Scorpion
In a lavish room befitting royalty, sitting in front of a huge mirror, was a silver-haired girl. The mirror reflected the face of a ten-year-old who had been dressed up with the help of servants. She was now adorned in royal attire, a silver tiara decorating her hair while a precious purple necklace sat on her neck. A tall, slender woman wearing a royal gown and a sun-blonde crown entered the room. Seeing her, the servants prostrated. "Your majesty," they murmured. She accepted with a nod. "Leave us." Once they were alone, the woman placed her hands on the girl's shoulders, smiling at her reflection. "Graece, my lovely daughter, you look so beautiful." "Thank you, mum." "Mum?" The queen gave a helpless smile. "You, this child, you never learn. We've practised this several… you're to call me 'your majesty'." "But mother, you said only when we're not in private," little Graece said with a cheeky smile. The queen gently pinched her cheeks. "I was just testing. Don't forget,
Chapter 56: depths of the subterranean
After Lucian had carved out the beast’s crystal from its carcass he admired it as he weighed it in his hands while shaking his head helplessly and turned towards his squad who had found places to sit or lean against the cold stone walls to catch their breath, "What a precious crystal," Lucian said, his voice echoing slightly in the large cavern. He turned it over, watching the green glow reflect in his eyes. "Too bad we might have to give it up at the end. If we were allowed to keep what we collect, this single one would fetch a great price in millions if sold." Then he flung the crystal through at Harry, who was wiping the sweat from his forehead, and swiftly caught it, taking his turn to inspect it. "You’re right, I wonder how strong the weapon crafted from it would be." He sighed, shaking his head. "But rules are rules. We hand them all in for assessment points. Still… if we keep up this pace, and keep finding things like this… we’re definitely going to top this whole assessme
Chapter 55: Arachnid King
The moment the Spider King landed, the cavern seemed to shrink. A heavy, oppressive aura rolled off its body like a dark fog pressing down on everyone’s chests. It was so strong that the glowing wall crystals dimmed, and the smaller spiders instantly scattered into cracks to hide. Eli’s legs shook as he held his shield high. “T-This… this is way different from the others. It feels like standing in front of a mountain.” “Don’t let the pressure get to you,” Lucian said, his voice steady. A golden aura flared around his body, pushing back against the oppressive weight. “It’s big, but it still has limits. Watch its moves first.” The Spider King raised its massive head, its hundreds of glowing orange eyes locking onto them all at once. With a terrifying, ear-piercing shriek, it reared up its abdomen and shot thick, glistening strands of webbing. But this was no ordinary silk. The webs were pale green as they flew through the air. “Look out!” Latisha shouted, her eyes flashing gold
