Paths of Extinction Chapter 109 Heart of Fire
As he looked at Fylard, Zeke used ‘Aether Control’ and saw how his body was like a vacuum, absorbing the tiny green particles in the air non-stop.Fylard was like a sponge as violent gales whistled within the arena, swirling uncontrollably.A milky aura covered the metallic Raul, further increasing his defences. He had confidence in his own ability, but Fylard’s Wind-aspected magic was getting stronger by the second and it would be folly to underestimate him.The two students prepared themselves before Fylard’s body was enveloped by a vibrantly-colored wind; Like a bullet, he shot at Raul while unleashing all of his stored energy.Likewise, Raul leapt in the air and performed a swift and strong punch that let out a milky-colored blast.For a split second, there was a blinding light and a deafening silence before the ground cracked and shattered and the barrier protecting the arena shook momentarily.When the bit of dust and the clashing energies subsided, the crowd saw Fylard covered
Paths of Extinction Chapter 110 Sreyzhanian Champion
While the other fights continued, Azmer was brought to the infirmary and treated by Doctor Xavier. In a matter of minutes, his wounds were healed. He was even given an Elixir that accelerated his energy recovery. Then again, his next fight would be tomorrow instead of today, so he had ample time to recuperate. As he was lost in thought, gazing at the empty campus, the door to the infirmary opened and a tall middle-aged man entered. William Lorson, his father, came in and stopped near the bed on which Azmer was lying on. “I didn’t expect this, nonetheless, I’m pleased and proud.” He was acting as if nothing happened and was about to pat Azmer’s shoulder but the latter shoved his hand away. “I don’t need your praise.” “You are part of the Lorson Family, Azmer. Did you think that, by simply leaving home, you’re no longer part of it?” “I was going to change my name from the family tree. Is that good enough for you?” William’s face turned ugly, his eyes narrowing as he glared at
Paths of Extinction Chapter 111 The Sword Dance
“Good morning everyone! I’m sure you’re all excited for today’s battles, so shall we begin?”Nayro was exceptionally good at riling up the crowd of youngsters. His orotund and loud voice reverberated across the arena as the 11 remaining participants stood next to each other.Whether it was Azmer or the others who got injured yesterday, they were back to full health today. There were a bunch of Second Year and Third Year students present too. The latter were only able to come and watch after finishing their own ‘Exam’, which explained their few numbers.To be precise, only Celestia Black, Maxine Orland, Vanessa, Harold Grimes, and Beatrice were there. The President of the Student Council seemed to be in a bad mood as he kept his distance from Celestia and sometimes glared at Zeke.He was still of the thought that a trouble-maker like Zeke should be expelled, however, his incessant complaints were all ignored by the teachers and Solas.{Julia Lopmore Vs Sarah Girm}{Zeke Orland Vs Rau
Paths of Extinction Chapter 112 Spirit Beasts
Alexandra Jevani, Bhak Djinn, and General Zhang, Madam Jorie, and Frederic Whitefort were sitting around a table and watching a recorded footage of Zeke Orland lying on the ground.From beginning to end, it showed how Zeke shot the bullet that killed the Ambassador. Even if the three leaders of the Nezulian Republic wanted to deny or buy some time, they couldn’t. After all, the footage was clear and undeniable evidence of Zeke’s crime.“There you have it. Are you satisfied now?”“...”The red-haired General’s face looked frighteningly scary as he glared at the vagabond.His Department had been investigating the whole incident, but they weren’t going to reveal the whole truth to Madam Jorie. They needed some leverage and didn’t want to submit so easily, but now things have taken a sudden turn.“There’s no need to hesitate now.” Calmly stated the elderly earthling, who looked pleased with this outcome.In contrast, Jevani, Bhak, and Zhang seemed enraged and furious. “Since we don’t hav

Special Agent Elizabeth, along with all her colleagues, walked to Zeke. Before speaking to their target, she glanced at the cold-faced Azmer and said,“Step aside.”She recognized him immediately, but that whole incident was covered, there was no reason to target him.As for Zeke, he stood still and kept looking at the red-haired general.After a minute or so, in which Zhang and Solas whispered to each other, the latter stood up and loudly declared,“The final fight will be postponed indefinitely. Cooperate with the Special Agents and orderly leave the arena.”The students were confused and surprised, but no one objected. Even Maxine, who wanted to go and help her brother, was pulled outside by Vanessa and James.Meanwhile, General Zhang looked to the eerily-quiet Zeke and said,“Whatever you’re thinking of doing… don’t.”He noticed a sinister and decaying energy emanating from the youth. Even someone as powerful as him felt the chills run down his spines the closer he got. Neverthel
Paths of Extinction Chapter 114 The Corpse
Sunday morning, the day after the final Exams ended. Subsequent to Zeke’s agreement, General Zhang, Madam Jevani, and Minister Bhak Djinn acted swiftly and prepared everything by the next day. The Space Soldiers escorted Madam Jorie to the conference room, which was filled to the brim with the strongest Special Agents as well the Team Captains of all three departments. It was the first time in a long while that all the powerhouses of the Nezulian Republic were all present in one place. Even when the Ambassador came, not all the Special Agents dispatched to foreign nations were present. Upon seeing the big crowd, the elderly representative of the humans furrowed her brows and walked toward a corpse lying on a small bed. She scrutinized the lifeless body of the youth, recognizing it as Zeke Orland. “I don’t know how, but he caught wind of our plans and tried to escape. We had to eliminate him.” “...” Jorie’s frown deepened as she touched the corpse before glancing at the leader
Paths of Extinction Chapter 115 First Job
“Splendid job, Sulong. The money has been transferred to your account. I added a small bonus too.”Madam Rodrey, the owner and manager of the brothel across from the Lightning Flame Merc Group, was waving her exquisite fan as she smiled at the gleeful man.“It was nothing difficult. If you have any other jobs, we'll be glad to accept it.”“Not at the moment, but I can refer you to some acquaintances of mine.”“Yes, thank you.”Jack and Jeremy were sitting a distance away, both pleased that the job had proceeded smoothly. In fact, with Zeke’s absence, it was only Sulong who went, but, ultimately, there were no attacks or complications.Moreover, Madam Rodrey paid them generously. They had spent a lot on redecorating the office and founding their new organisation, so they were in desperate need of funds.“I’d like to talk to you more… especially that young man, but I have other stuff to take care of.”The beautiful middle-aged man elegantly bowed then excused herself. Sulong, who was in
Paths of Extinction Chapter 116 The Black Rock Mountain Range
Zeke conversed with Sulong and Velvet for quite a while before he returned to his dreamless sleep. Signora had proved her worth by reporting some important and not-easily acquired informant. For example, the case with Jonathan Stellar Link, who was inexplicably spared and set free by the Witches.Then there was Red Mask Fanti Fan, who was still obsessing over an unknown experiment. Even though Zeke knew his target’s whereabouts, he felt it was necessary to improve himself before trying anything.Not only was the Serey Zhan Empire geographically far, but it was the main base of the Ascetic Blasphemers, thus rendering it a nest infested with crouching dragons and hungry tigers.What further decreased his motivation to go there was Zeke’s identity as a System Holder. By now, the three nations, specifically their leaders, must have learnt of his special circumstances.The Empire might not be particularly antagonistic toward System Holders, but it definitely wouldn’t treat Zeke, a citize

Chapter 239 Sanctus Lucerna
“I and Hephradet personally studied it, but found nothing. Here you go.”Kleya handed back the strange item back to Zeke.“There’s no Aether or any other foreign energy inside. We couldn’t determine its purpose.”“I see. Thank you anyway.”“Don’t worry about it. You should rest more or else I’ll never hear the end of it from Jenny.”Zeke wryly smiled and nodded. His mother kept nagging him day and night, telling him to rest and not continuously wander around the castle checking on everyone and making sure there were no issues.His body was already healthy and he felt no odd disturbances or unexpected awakenings. Everything is as normal as it could be.Just as Kleya left the room, Jennifer came in. Behind her was a red-faced Celestia, which made Zeke frown.“Mom?”Surprisingly, Jennifer grabbed his ear and pulled him to the couch.“Did I not tell you to overdo it?”“W-what? I haven’t done anything!”“That’s not what she told me!”Celestia stood a distance away, her head lowered in emba

Chapter 238 Zeke and Azmer
“It’s still too early to assess everything, but… over 80% of the entire planet’s population died.” Kleya, whose eyes were a bit red and her face was filled with fatigue, sat across Zeke and Celestia. “And Her Majesty?” When she heard his question, Kleya lowered her head and held herself back from crying. “We… we think she died fighting the System. It’s no longer possible to return to the Unending Star, so we decided to acknowledge that Her Majesty was amongst those who had fallen there.” “I’m sorry.” “Don’t be. She… she died protecting what she believed in. Us. Not just the Witch Association but all of the Aether Planet.” Zeke sighed, feeling sorry when he saw Kleya like that. The Witch Queen was the pillar of the Witch Association, their respected leader. It was especially so for Kleya and the other 6-star Witches, excluding Jennifer. “A-anyway, the situation at the capital of the Nezulian Republic remains the same. We’re still looking for a way to cancel that Frost Spell cast

Chapter 237 The 5th User
“Huff… huff…” With a hand pressed against his hurting chest, Zeke dragged his tired feet toward the fallen copy. The copy’s head turned to look at him, its eyeballs, which looked as if they were to pop-out, were letting out the familiar yet incredibly dim crimson light. “We had completed our objective. There was nothing left for Us to do.” “That didn’t give you the right to wipe entire civilizations.” “You… wouldn’t understand, Zeke Orland.” Unlike earlier, the System spoke through the copy’s mouth. Its charred and cut lips moved in an unnatural way, but the voice was identical to Zeke’s. “We had succeeded. We had saved the world. Then, We understood that our creation, our existence was only for that purpose. That We were a tool destined to cease existing.” “...” “We could not tolerate that.” “So you manifested a will of your own?” In response to that, a self-deprecating laugh came from the copy. “After choosing our first User, we saw how the Races we were supposed to prote

Chapter 236 The Phoenix
While the Phoenix battled the System in the Cursed Plains of the Unending Star, Zeke’s fight against his copy continued.Things took a turn for the worst when the Crown was crushed and the System’s powers dramatically increased. Nevertheless, Zeke didn’t lose yet. His body was flung and then crashed into the ground, blood gushing out from his shoulder and back.Even then, he slowly stood up and grinned toward the System.“Still fighting the good fight.”The previously calm ‘copy’, or at least the System’s disembodied voice, grew agitated as Zeke refused to remain on the ground.“My will is not so easily broken.”[Voltage King]Zeke’s eyes shone with an azure light as his voltage grew silent and became white.[Divine Champion][Divine Sreyzhanian Arts]Just as he charged at the System again, its body suddenly turned stiff as if being immobilized by something.The item handed by Kayro Ol Zerg flashed from Zeke’s pocket.[Fist of Fury]Zeke’s fists, glowing orange and wrapped in condens

Chapter 235 The God's Spear
“What’s wrong? I thought you were invincible in your domain.”Zeke’s taunt had no effect, at least not at first. The System stood straight and looked down on its wounded body.“You know nothing of Us.”The copy raised its hand, and very soon, something familiar appeared.It was a tangible object of an odd-shape, but Zeke knew what it was. The Crown.“You will know what it is to be helpless and defeated, 5th user.”“You’re still talking?”Zeke let out a smile and charged forth, his fists wrapped by thick voltage.The System crushed the crown as the red voltage manifested and exploded in an uncontrollable manner.…“Is it done?”Julia Lopmore furrowed her brows as she looked at the enemy, whose body was crushed, burned, and almost unrecognisable. It wasn’t a body anymore, but a mass of flesh and poison.The silence lasted for a very short time as the Crown also appeared in reality.“Stop it!” Shouted Frederic as took out a blue bead, one with the same size and shape that Nicneven had pr

Xiao, with his spear in hand, actually deflected the Divine Thunder before safely landing on the ground.Several people appeared close to the Witch Queen. As she swept her eyes across the six people that unexpectedly showed up here.“Your Majesty, we’re here to lend a hand.” Frederic Whitefort smirked and looked at her as he muttered those words. He had brought along Azmer, Xiao, Celestia, Ava, and Julia Lopmore.“You… how ar-”“We can save that talk for later, eh?”Frederic motioned toward Zeke, who was standing there and staring back at them with a hollow expression.“As I’m the weakest of the bunch, I’ll just stay behind and offer assistance… as well as try to heal Her Majesty.”The Vagabond knelt next to Nicnteven and extended his hand towards her. He let out a warm and serene white light, which made her feel rejuvenated. It was Holy Magic, something which she didn’t know he could use.“Wouldn’t Zeke die if we tried to kill the System?” Asked Julia while furrowing her brows.“Not

Chapter 233 The Seat of Magic
Right after the destruction of the Heart of the Dead Ends, Zeke stood there, seemingly in a daze.The Witch Queen stared at him intensely, and when his eyes glowed with a crimson light, she immediately attacked.Jonathan roared and rushed as well, a creeping Darkness exploding from his hands.Nicneven struck out from afar, unleashing a blazing wave of flames, fused with a spinning thick beam of Ice-aspected energy.The Paths of Extinction System, which had taken control of Zeke’s body, retaliated with full-force as well.Dozens of thunderbolts erupted from Zeke’s raised hand, blasting Jonathan back and clashing with the Queen’s magic.“The Seat of Magic.” Muttered a voice that didn’t resemble Zeke albeit speaking from his mouth.It was emotionless and cold, one which no living being would be able to imitate.[Voltage Zap]Using such an elementary skill, the System shot innumerable bolts that arched in the air and concentrated on Nicneven.She jumped out of the way and performed a stra

Chapter 232 The End of the 2nd Cycle
“I know this is a lot to take in, Zeke Orland. But, I want you to trust me. Know that I have your best interest in heart and I wouldn’t have come unless necessary. I could’ve let you venture alone and complete your objective, after which you’ll be killed by your own System.”Zeke pointed his open hand toward the incoming shades.[Voltage King]A barrage of lightning bolts was unleashed, piercing through the shades and extinguishing them. They vaporised in an instant, leaving only a bit of red fog.The Dead Ends and the Paths of Extinction System, they both had that unique and ominous crimson light. However, Zeke thought it was just a coincidence.Now that the truth was revealed to him, he felt a bit lost. It wasn’t that much of a surprise that his System was dangerous or a threat as he had already suspected as much after learning about Edward Heart.Nevertheless, the fact that it was a tool from the very beginning did make him feel weak and clueless.An eerie silence flowed between Ze

Chapter 231 The Paths of Extinction System
Thanks to the thunderstorm Zeke had previously summoned, the three of them managed to reach and enter the Black Spike. Strangely enough, the entrance of the spire was fully-opened as if beckoning them inside. “This looks man-made.” “Because it is.” Answered Nicneven as she held the black katana with one hand and controlled five differently-colored elemental orb with the other. The interior of the black spike was empty but particularly eerie. Everything was black and except a spiralling staircase that led to the top, there was nothing else, not even the crimson fog. “Who made it?” “...” “Why do you refuse to tell me anything, Your Majesty? What is the Dead Ends? Who created it?” “You do not need to concern yourself with that. Just destroy the Hearts and everything will end.” Her immediate dismissal did irritate him, but he didn’t press her for answers he knew she wouldn’t give. “This is the final stretch. Jonathan, take the vanguard.” “Yes, Your Majesty.” Jonathan pushed bac
