Olivia rolled her eyes. "I can if I want to, but there's only so many times I can watch you try the same thing over and over again before it gets boring. So no, I'm not always paying attention when you're in there," she said. Greg's mouth opened, instinctively wishing to argue that he wasn't boring. But after a second, he quietly closed it as he remembered just how stubborn he was. He'd usually follow a specific path over and over again trying to solve the dungeon his way rather than be forced onto other paths by past failures. The more he thought about it, the more he realized why eventually, Olivia would stop watching his every attempt. "But that's beside the point," Olivia declared when Greg conceded with a slight tilt of the head. "You managed to augment a spell with your will?" She questioned a second tone, her tone relaying that this was a big deal."That's what I wanted to test," Greg answered. "After taking the life order promotion elixir, I broke into the resonance stage of t
Chapter 152
Calyn had walked this hallway between the rooms on the fifth floor of the airship several times over the past cycle. However, it had never felt so long as it did today. She had been brought up in a clan of body enhancers. Sparring sessions could get extremely brutal. Blood and broken bones weren't an aberration on the training field but rather a commonplace part of it. Far from causing them to stop, those of the Sydrak clan were expected to go on fighting through the pain. Your enemies will not stop when you want them to stop, the cold elders who oversaw their training would always quote this whenever someone was hurt badly and wished to end the fight. Unless the injury was life-threatening, or held the possibility of permanently crippling the injured party, then you were expected to push through the pain and keep fighting for another half an hour or more, depending on how sadistic your instructor was that day. This was the kind of training she'd been subjected to all her life and Caly
Chapter 151
The conviction behind every attack she launched was of someone who wished to end the fight with that particular hit. Unfortunately for her, she hadn't been taught how to keep her body from betraying what she intended to do next. Greg himself couldn't exactly claim to be an expert at it. Olivia had punished him for being too obvious enough times that he was slowly starting to learn a thing or two. But even more than being able to hide his next move, Greg had grown really proficient in reading his opponent. This is part of what made this fight so unfair. It was like a duel where one party kept calling out their next move before they made it. One fighter was out in the open whereas the other was hidden in the shadows. A stark imbalance that meant that inevitably... Smack! Greg's palm once again landed on Calyn's delectable posterior. Greg had to duck low immediately as Calyn swung her leg like a lumberjack's ax in a roundhouse kick that would have more than likely knocked him out cold

A primal instinct for blood. A storm of bloodlust.That's what Greg could see in Calyn's eyes even as he leaned back to avoid the gauntleted punch from her. Fighting with Olivia usually felt like an embodied version of chess. You couldn't just let yourself go. You had to not only react to the present but plan out two or three steps into the future. Otherwise, your defeat would be set in stone without you knowing it. In a particularly annoying show of skill and foresight, Olivia could even have you reacting in ways that lead you to the defeat she'd already envisioned. In your mind, you'd think you were fighting her, but in reality, the two of you had ganged up against yourself. No, when fighting Olivia, you couldn't turn off your mind. The same, however, wasn't true of Calyn.When Calyn fought, she went into a battle trance. It wasn't that she didn't think exactly, but rather there was no distinction between her instinct and action. She didn't see you kicking and think to move out of t
Chapter 149
"How did you know?" Jerni, the Dockmaster, asked as they stood on the rooftop of one of the buildings close to his office, watching as smoke rose from the room where they stored the dock's records. A few days back, a woman in a cloak that hid her features walked into his office and dropped a bag of gold coins on his desk. From the mana coming off her, Jerni could tell that she was at the fourth tier. As someone in the second tier, the gap in their power was enough for him to accommodate her in most things should she have asked. Only she didn't, instead, she warned him that someone would try to burn their records and that he needed to make a copy of the records of every airship that was currently docked with them. Given the fact that there were about a hundred or so airships docked with them, it would be slightly inconvenient but not beyond the realm of possibility. And with the coin to compensate for the inconvenience, He was more than happy to do so. "Do not ask questions the wei
Chapter 148
Reina couldn't help but notice that the young man's guard had cut into a conversation her master was having, and yet the young man seemed completely unbothered by this. From the way he was now looking curiously at her tattoo, it was clear that he hadn't attached any significance to it before his guard revealed that it meant something. "A Leonid, poison variant," she revealed. Reina couldn't help some quiet pride in the slight look of surprise that showed on Healer Alena. She was the only one of those present who seemed to recognize just how hard it was to have a leonid as a contracted beast. "Can you summon it?" Healer Alena spoke up for the first time in this meeting. Based on their contract, Raksha would have no choice but to answer whenever Reina summoned him. A beast that doesn't answer when called is of no use to a summoner. For the first time in their life-long relationship, however, Reina felt hesitation from Raksha at the prospect of being summoned. Nevertheless, the relat
