Timothy and Ortana went down to the basement, so they could practice alchemy. At some point they considered the basement to be a more quiet space, and the best place to relax in too, because the main floor was getting a bit crowded. Well, the mule he had created made it seem crowded, as it chowed down on anything it could get its tongue around!

The mule had a brain of its own, Timothy gave it one, so the mule wasn’t a brainless zombie who listened to every verbal command, no, it was just a mule who was atoms away from being considered normal. Likewise, it behaved normally, and at some point Timothy felt as if he was dealing with a giant puppy who would insist on stealing everything off of his plate! It ate twenty pounds worth of bug meat so far.

“I'm seriously considering putting that bastard in a cell,” He thought, “It may not be as cruel as I imagine it to be.”

Anyway, they made it down to the basement, and got into work. A man and a woman being locked in a room together, alone, may

    Timothy and Ortana made a few more potions. They made twenty of them, and figured that it was best to leave them here, in the castle, because it wouldn't be as easy for them to carry the bottles in the real world, where they would have to shapeshift into small birds soon. They stashed the bottles here, and didn't worry much about expiry dates, because the flow of time was on their side here.With these bottles of potions accumulated, they felt ready to leave this needle universe, and they might as well leave, because there was an important task waiting for them there. The team felt ready, well, apart from Timothy, who had just one more thing to do before they left. He had to master the creation of telekinetic abilities, and create a whole, official one for himself, rather than carrying just a fractional, useless one. He was dedicated to succeed, and felt sure that he was very close to cracking the patterns behind such an ability!Well, the roots would change portions of his DNA foreve

    Timothy opened a portal in the castle, the one that would take them back to the main universe. The flow of time between the two universes were massively different, with an hour in Purpureus Mundi equating to fourteen days back in the main universe. Considering that they spend well over thirty-six hours here, it meant that around sixteen months had already passed in the main universe, a flow which gave them a great example of how time dilation worked!Now Timothy and the team couldn’t afford to leap sixteen months into the future, because they had a time-sensitive task to attend to. The coral reef was waiting for them, and it featured a list of procedures necessary for its transformation! Simply put, if they didn't transform the reef into a place that could host hundreds of Mana Root plants, before the summer, then they might as well quit their mission.For that matter, Timothy tilted the portal in front of him, thus, reversing the effect of time dilation between the two universes.

    Being flightless birds out on the North Pole was a tough task back on earth, and it was especially tough on this planet, with magical beasts swimming around. They could get wiped out any moment if they weren't careful enough!Some beast could simply eat them whole, and this was their biggest fear for the time being, because they experienced this sort of danger before. A Sea Orc had swallowed them whole once, all of them, apart from Timothy, so they knew how dangerous these serpentine creatures could be! The sea itself worked to the advantage of the monsters, and by all odds, Frost Orcs were a lot more violent in comparison to their sister species!“Keep your eyes peeled,” Timothy kept reminding them, as they swiftly swam across the depths of the cold sea. “We are not the fastest bunch here, not by a long shot… Let’s try to keep our heads.”Although they were coming to find his constant reminders a bit annoying, they understood why he was a bit paranoid. They were outmatched here in th

    Considering that their deep dive didn’t lead them to any nests of dragon eggs, the team had to reconsider their approach. After some brief theories, they decided to head back towards the surface of the sea.On the surface, they could do two things. They could either explore the large patches of ice anywhere down to the one-hundred meter depth mark, hoping to find Frost Orc dens, or, they could stick to the surface itself, and explore the dry-ish land of snow and ice. Though these options sounded similar, they were actually vastly different, with the second one giving them a couple of advantages!Considering that Frost Orcs couldn’t walk, they’d have a great advantage over any giant orc that would be protecting their nests! Sure it may take them longer to find nests this way, especially if the nest was hidden tens of meters within the ice, but they’d rather waste a few hours than be in the waters with giant sea monsters! It was much safer for them to explore the surface of the snow and

    “Oh, hell nah! I'm not fighting that.” Tim grunted. “I spend thousands of system points amplifying my shit, but I can't even make a dent on this icy-looking bastard…”Timothy had shot at it already, but he discovered that his massive fireballs attacks weren't exactly effective against this beast. Dragons of any kind were typically difficult to fight, and the bigger they were, the more difficult they were for one to inflict damage upon, nonetheless kill!In this case, they were fighting an amphiptere dragon, an arctic one, and it was considered an amphiptere because it had wings, but not any arms or legs to its disposal. The team believed that this was a Frost Orc, though, they had never expected it to have wings! This complicated the matter a lot more than they expected, and it confused them quite a bit too.“Die!” Ortana shouted, as she shot tens of spears towards the dragon. She had managed to chip a few of its scales away.However, the dragon unleashed a sort of frost storm through

    The team continued their search for Frost Orc eggs. The task was quite difficult, as their search was purely based on luck and chance itself, but the method they developed was the best that they could think of, so they just pushed forward. The team found comfort in the fact that a Kelketuk demon was guarding them, and thanks to that fact, they could melt a hole through any bit of ice, without fearing what could pop out from there. That way, their luck-based search didn't feel as overwhelming, and the sheer size of the North Pole wasn't as intimidating to them either!Through the help of fire, with waves of them in various sizes, the team managed to melt another hole for themselves. Then another. The holes they dug, or melted, were usually a hundred meters wide, and at most, thirty meters deep. They didn't want to dig deeper than that, because they figured that at such a point, there was nothing to be found anyway, not with the waters of the sea being just a couple more meters below.

    Tim’s new idea regarding the exploration of these lands of ice was quite smart, though it was also simple at the same time. He wanted to have the team turn into ghosts, and simply float through the tens of meters of thick ice below them! They agreed with this plan instantly, as they were tired of putting in tens of hours of work a day only to have no results, so the small risks that came with turning into ghosts was far more appealing in brief comparison.This idea was bound to be effective, because if there was a burrow filled with dragon eggs down there, they could float into it without having to dig up a quarter of the North Pole in the process. It was a plain, simple plan that he came up with, but it was effective!“Okay, let’s hit the hay! Er, or snow? Let us sleep, together but separately.” Tim said, hurling himself off topic even though no one was pressuring him whatsoever. “We gotta hibernate, no one’s gonna bother our bodies here so we don’t have to hide them.

    “Though I am actually used to uncommon conversations with different species, I don’t think that we should tell you our business.” Timothy answered the dragon, and he chose to answer this way, because he felt a type of discomfort that he wasn’t able to understand. “Why are you curious?”It was alarming for Tim to not understand what was going through his phantomized head. He didn’t understand why he was uncomfortable, and this in a way, told him everything that he needed to know about this draconic entity. He had to be cautious! “Why must I not be curious about adventurous souls? You’re not from here, I can sense that the Dead Territories do not welcome you in the slightest, and yet you’re here, so you must have come from elsewhere for some reason?” The entity said. Skendus sensed that his friend was about to make a whore off of this conversation, so he decided to intervene. He figured that if this dragon wanted to attack, it would have already, so he was looking to develop this conv

    Garry was led to the burrow of the groundhog he befriended. The burrow was close by, several meters away, and it didn’t quite look appealing from the outside, which was expected, as the burrow only had a couple of holes that they considered entrances.Well, one entrance was a fake one. It led nowhere, and it was used to keep predators busy, such as foxes.The other entrance led to the deep interior of the burrow, and quite frankly, Garry was astounded when he squeezed into it. This was no mere home with weak, dirt walls to hold it up, no, as everything within the burrow was enhanced by a six-inch layer of carved stone! The stone walls within the burrow weren’t placed randomly. They weren’t bumpy, but rather, they were smooth, and had these rows of symbolic words carved into it with a language that he could not understand. Nevertheless, he was impressed.“Woa…” Garry sighed, as he looked at the walls around him.“Why are you loafing about here?” The guiding groundhog asked. “This is o

    As of recently, Garry was at the pinnacle of his life! He became an Arch Mage at a fairly young age, young for a demonic basilisk, at least, and ever since he got to this rank, he had eased up on a lot of his beliefs or principles, and was just enjoying his life.In hindsight, he didn’t care much to progress into the following rank, which was that of an Arch Magus. He figured that such a title was years away from him, if not decades, so he simply didn't think about it much. He wasn't worried that he stumbled into another mana bracket as soon as got to the third level of the seventh realm of mana. He was okay with it.Initially, one of the main reasons he chose to stay in this universe rather than going back to the universe of hell, was because he wanted to help Timothy, his former summoning master, progress. He felt indebted to help Timothy, because he had saved him from deadly wounds back in those old ruins, so he chose to stay.However, he couldn’t help Timothy progress all that muc

    “Freedom… it outweighs everything in the world, be it mana or gold.” She thought, as she breathed in the crisp air at the crack of dawn.Fortana was up in the sky, along with her dragon, and she was now about forty-kilometers away from the City of Fik. She decided to leave the city for a short while, for two reasons.Firstly, she and her team were stuck in the city for an undetermined amount of time. Timothy said that they’d be stuck in the City of Fik for around a month, but she figured that they’d be stuck there for several months, and she could not remain stationary for that long. She spent most of her life stuck in the Dungeons of the Old, and now that she had gotten a taste for freedom, she could simply not remain in one place for long, otherwise she would either sink into depression, or suffer through wave after wave of anxiety. She didn’t like it.The second reason why she left the city was primarily related to her self-absorbed need to improve her arsenal. Most Expert Mages ha

    The eight-hundred Expert Mages that joined the frontline were quite capable. They were very useful on the count that Timothy and his team spent a few hours nudging them in the right direction, and once they got a hang of what to do, there was no stopping them!Ten more shapeshifted Ancient Sea Orcs had tried to attack the city before sunset, and the Expert Mages, otherwise known as the city's soldiers, had killed them all! They killed them without losing a single man or woman in the exchange of attacks.They discovered that the giant orcs had this odd ability to toss exploding fireballs around almost randomly, but they worked around it. Ten mages shot fireballs at the giants to overwhelm them, essentially blind them, and then twenty mages snuck below the line of fire, and froze the giants solid! This method worked like a charm, and Timothy had helped them develop it, so the mages didn't lose arms and legs during their many fights.The dark giants helped them. Fortana insisted for the

    Timothy needed about ten minutes to explain to Cornelius everything that had happened over the past hour. It was quite difficult to explain such a complex matter to a man that did not care, but he got through to him eventually. At the end, Cornelius bluntly added, “I understand. You accidentally killed what, like five-hundred soldiers? It happens.”Furthermore, he added, “But if you want to mask your mistake properly, you best add a couple more frozen giants. You can sell your story easier to the city officials if you say that five giants went neck to neck with the city’s best mages.”“Right,” Tim nodded, and then he communicated with Fortana telepathically, and got the tip across to her, even though she was forty meters away. “Add two more frozen giants. It’ll be more believable.”While Fortana got into work, he turned to Cornelius, and asked, “You don’t care about this city at all, do you? Genuine question. Are you only loyal to yourself?”“I’m only loyal to my pool progression, an

    “What the hell was that! Aren’t your giants supposed to be under your control?” Tim pressured.Rattled, Fortana answered, “They are under my control. However, if hundreds of people charge at them, they’re gonna defend themselves no matter what I say. Those stupid bastards dug their own grave.”“We have a big problem here,” He said. “Anyone who can put two and two together will think that we killed the soldiers. We cannot afford to be banished from the city.”Fortana was aware of that, and for a moment she felt helpless, however she then came up with an idea that sounded plausible. She swiftly created a giant, one that looked a lot like the Ancient Sea Orcs that they’ve been killing, but she avoided giving life to the giant, and just froze it in place.Afterwards she created two more of these replicas, and placed all of them in front of the soldiers along with the first, frozen giant. By all means, she was trying to fake a battle scene.“There you go,” She said. “The sea orcs froze the

    The barricade of ice that Timothy had created was holding strong. Now the barricade wasn’t much taller than the sea itself, but it was dense, it reached almost at the bottom of the ocean for the most part, so it was a great tool in terms of keeping the Ancient Sea Orcs away. The ice barricade may even last several days, on the count that the temperature around, and within the ice was quite low. The mild summer rays would need days to melt through it.Anyway, Timothy had hoped that the system would inform him that he had successfully killed one of these sea orcs, through the barricade alone. He was hoping that he had frozen one of them solid, but this did not appear to be the case.By all odds, any of the remaining sea orcs who originally planned to walk their way out of the sea, were scared off as soon as the temperature of the water around them dropped significantly. When Timothy thought about the matter this way, he further confirmed his theory that the creatures he was dealing wit

  • Chapter 365 - Hydro, tainting

    Timothy initially wanted to take the battle to the sea, and kill every last Ancient Sea Orc out there. That was his idea this morning, however, they had barely thought about what they would do if the sea orcs brought the battle up here beyond the shores!It was normal that they hadn’t thought about it, because in a normal situation, sea creatures shouldn't walk. It wasn’t natural. Timothy was dumbfounded, however, he also understood that it was imperative that he and the team stayed here, in front of the beach, so as to prevent any remaining sea orc from attacking the City of Fik. They had to stay, until backup arrived.Today, the city had proved themselves utterly unprepared when it came to managing a disaster. It was evident, so the team couldn’t, in good conscience, leave their spot until a bunch of soldiers arrived here on the beach, and manned the frontline. “Don't be discouraged, guys.” Tim tried to motivate his team. “Remember all the gold we're gonna make. At the very least,

    The team killed a shapeshifted Ancient Sea Orc a moment ago, and they were proud of it, as the battle had been swift, and their moves were effective. However, they did not expect to see four more of these giant monsters pop out of the sea! They were petrified.“Dragons, cover fire!” Timothy yelled out again.The dragons understood what those words meant now, so they didn’t have to be taught as much this time around in order for them to contribute. They started blasting fireballs towards the giants, and even though it was more difficult to push all four of them away, the contribution the dragons were putting into the battle was worthwhile! If not anything more, it served as a great distraction. Timothy then gathered his team of goblins, and the two giants that were also on his team, them being Garry and Gustav, and then they rushed into battle! The giants were less than forty meters away from them, and they wanted to take control of the situation before these monsters got the chance t
