Chapter 644 - RnD

The hammer of anvils and the searing heat of metal surrounded Smithant on all sides and she couldn't be happier."How do I manage this part?" Another carver scuttled up to her and asked."Ah, the folding? It's like this… " she explained the process with care and demonstrated some of the techniqu...

Chapter 643 - The prize

Tiny's, fists are a sight to behold. Tireless and dauntless, his hands flash out faster than the ant eye can see, each strike accompanied by a flash of light as fists of pure energy materialise and crash into his targets like trucks. As I watch he winds up and unleashes a devastating uppercut that starts at his fee...

Chapter 642 - Fists of fury

I don't know what shocked me more, the fact that Tiny managed to land without getting himself killed, or that he actually managed to break through the layered shields and barriers of the Legion. Since he actually managed the impossible, I'm not about to let the chance slip by."GOGOGOGOGGOGOGO!" I flood ...

Chapter 641 - Monkey Business

Sorry for being late.The Storm rages in the skyThe Madness lurks in the darkThe Eye watches allWhilstTheir Master sleepsUntil The DayWhen All Become One in Him.- Prayer of the FaithfulWith reluctance I let the construct dissolve away and give my brains a chance to rest as the battle draws nearer. I'm still not prof...

Chapter 640 - It's progress, I suppose,

Nearly… there… just a bit more… I need to just… get this bit.. No! Stupid sub-brain, hold that bit steady! GAH! Other sub-brain! What the hell are you doing over there?! Just hold it steady, dammit! Cursing at my own minds whilst my other minds grumble back at me is confusing enough, but the four separate brain...

Chapter 639 - The Churn

Titus stifled his grimace as he walked from the battlefield. To others who looked at him, he was as stone faced and unshakable as ever, but inside, he was tired. High stats and the superhuman abilities of a powerfully levelled Legionary were able to sustain him for a long time, longer than almost any other type of sold...

Chapter 638 - A new way - pt 4 (end)

Enid was tired, yet energised. She found herself constantly in this state as of late. There were never enough hours in the day for all the things that needed to be done, which meant she was constantly on the run, difficult for a woman of her age. At the same time, she was enthused every day to rise to the challenges of...

Chapter 637 - A new way pt 3

Apologies for the late and short updates. Been unwell this week and it's caught up with me. Should be back to normal tomorrow. Have a good day! :)Emotions ran high amongst the congregation for some time and it was difficult for any of them articulate their thoughts as they waited for the emotional high to leave the...

Chapter 636 - A new way pt 2

How could a person describe their connection to the System that governed Pangera? It moved through them, existed within them and all around them. It had been part of their lives from the moment they were born. Only those sapients who existed at the moment of descent could have told you the difference between the before...

Chapter 635 - A new way pt 1

This was harder than I though it would be...Beyn was troubled in spirit, something he had rarely been during his life. He remembered his time in the seminary, training to serve The Path. Even at that young age, his spirit had burned with certainty and divine purpose. He had risen long before the sun and slept long afte...

Chapter 634 - Mind Games

The following day proves that the Legion is being more careful with their approach. I received two experience notifications from the first gravity bomb, giving me another level, but the next assault isn't as bountiful. More mages, tighter shield walls with more layers. It means they can't spread themselves out ...

Chapter 633 - Its da bomb

My minds are pushed to the breaking point once more. Containing this level of energy isn't easy, and it doesn't get easier. One might think that my increasing stats and levels would make this process more manageable, but in fact, all it does is allow me to push further and make a more destructive gravity bomb! ...

500 Patron side-story poll!

POLL IS CLOSED FOLKS. Armour + Antmancer is the way forward, (I actually already started the antmancer.... as I'm sure you know.500... Holy moly. Never thought the story would grow like this, I really didn't. It's a very special feeling knowing that people enjoy the weird stuff you come up with in your head...

Chapter 632 - Put through the paces

Obviously, my new Skill would be totally useless to me if I weren't able to make effective use of it, so all four of my brains were made to practice forming it. Early signs… weren't good. It was a nightmare frankly. The entire thing fell to ribbons in my hands, falling apart and vanishing into dust as I watch...

Chapter 631 - The new construct

The four rank five Skills were melting down and blending together inside my mind, forming a new pool of knowledge that was greater than the sum of its parts. Excitement was bursting inside my heart. What would come of this powerful fusion? My only fear was that it wouldn't reach my expectations. I was forced into g...

Chapter 630 - Elemental Soup

You people are incredible. 500 patrons? I can't even... I'm still considering the poll, but expect in the next few days.Wind blade! Tornado! Wind speed! Wind blast! GAH! I'm exhausted. Every inch of my mind is devoted towards creating gas mana and whipping it into spells. The target for the spells is natura...

Chapter 629 - The Cavalry Arrives

So Close to 500?!?! O_O_O_OAny suggestions for the side story poll need to hit the comments! It might not be long! :SHironus Balta bared his blade and executed the 'blooming flower' technique, six consecutive slashes that unleashed a barrage of light so quickly that they each flew out like the petals of single ...

Chapter 628 - Differing views

Sorry it's late. It's a long one at least."What will we do with them?" Morrelia's voice was subdued.Titus stared unblinking at the five bodies arranged before him."They will be returned to their families for burial. If their families do not claim them, or if they requested it themselves, they wi...

Chapter 627 - Growth, then Growth

As we flee from the scene of the battle with all haste, I take a moment to let the System messages from the battle roll over me.[You have slain Level 54 Legionem Shieldbearer (Human)][You have slain Level 44 Legionem Armoured Scout (Human)][You have slain Level 45 Legionem Shieldbearer (Human)][You have slain Level 58 ...

Chapter 626 - Short ... and sharp

With Crinis' announcement, my entire carapace tenses (metaphorically). It's time, I'm ready for action, y entire spirit is primed and filled with ire. These tin-people have hurt my family and now I'm going to give the pain back to them.[Steady, Master. Control the mana.]My ever faithful Crinis provides ...

Chapter 625 - Vengeance will be mine

By the by, if we make to 500 patrons this month I'll do another reward poll. If you have good ideas, let me know in the comments!It was already personal. Now it's… more personal. When the armoured death machines had started to advance, the scouts had alerted me and I'd gathered the troops and headed to th...

Chapter 624 - Death Comes

The Old Races against the New is a troubling rivalry that has arisen in the centuries since the Cataclysm. Perhaps it is understandable that those who existed on Pangera in a time before the Dungeon would view those that came after with suspicion. They know for a fact, after all, that they are free of the corruption th...

Chapter 623 - The enemy advance

The Empire of Stone endures forever. That is their claim, at least. It's no secret that the rock-people are a proud and stubborn people, proud of their history as one of the 'Old Races' of Pangera. They are survivors, hardy and tough, their natural advantages and the Classes that tie to their race have prov...

Chapter 622 - Ah, nards!

She's really gonna kill me this time. I mean, Crinis was clingry to an absurd degree before based on my last dissapearance, what's going to happen this time. I'm afraid, afraid GANDALF! The image of Crinis burrowing her tentacles through my carapace and taking residence within my skeleton rises in my mind, ...

Chapter 621 - Blissful Danger

Sorry this one was late."LEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOOY!"What a day! WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY! The Immortals unleashed their war cry, the name of their great leader as they charge toward what would surely be their own useful deaths! The golgari formed a fortress before them, their combined shields creating a wall of golden l...

Chapter 620 - In the Mouth of Madness

He sensed them before they came. The Shapers had been ordered to keep their senses tuned for just such an ambush, but the ants were getting clever. They must have placed dampeners or some other form of mana suppression in the tunnels, which meant he didn't have a whole lot of time once he detected the tell-tale sig...

Chapter 619 - In the Dark, but not Alone

It took a long time before we actually began to fight as the sapient do. The gift the Eldest bestowed on us seemed natural, once we had it. Our old forms fell away and were replaced by the new in such a seamless way, we never considered what that transition really meant for an embarrassingly long time. Although the Col...

Chapter 618 - The Press

"Hold the line!" Advant flooded the surrounding space with her pheromones."FOR THE COLONY!" The ants roared back.BOOM!Another explosion rocked the tunnel, sending Colony members sprawling in the dust. Healers rushed forward, antennae darting over the fallen, checking for pheromones indicating injury or ...

Chapter 617 - Easy Breezy

Abyssal Legion Armour is known by many names, Runic Armour, Legion Plate, Abyssal Armour. As far as I can determine, no 'official' nomenclature exists. At least, if one did in the past, it has since been lost. Instead, the terms used tend to vary from region to region, or Legion to Legion.For the purposes of th...
