Paths of Extinction Chapter 177 Mother and Son
Voltage currents emanated from Zeke’s fingers and struck the bounds incapacitating Jennifer. The metal locks were easily blocked and her power was finally restored.However, there was no emotional reunion as Jennifer suddenly extended her hand and pushed Zeke to the side, a dark green blast of energy was unleashing.She blocked a big spear made of white flames, which was cast by Eve. The girl had appeared next to her creator and was firing one spell after the other.Zeke, who realized what was happening, inwardly snorted and switched back to the offensive.He wasn’t in the mood to prolong this, and while Eve was stronger than the other children, she still wasn’t his match. An illusory syringe pieced his shoulder and injected a magical fluid into his body, subsequently boosting his stats.‘Self-Injection’‘Voltage Rune’‘Over-Drive’.His body flashed with a blinding azure light before it let out a booming sound, seemingly breaking the sound barrier. The shock wave extinguished Jennifer
Paths of Extinction Chapter 178 The Right Eye
It took Kleya, Robert, Fin, and Sarah half an hour to navigate the large underground base of the Ascetic Blasphemers and reach the lowest floor. Kleya’s objective was to find and rescue Jennifer Savbra, however, since she couldn’t separate from the group, she stuck with them until they reached the final place: A dimly-lit circular room with engraving and runes on the ground, forming seemingly ritualistic symbols, specifically belonging to Black Magic.There were no enemies stationed there, only the high-ranked members of the organization.At the center of the room, in the middle of a large bloody circle drawn on top of the runes, stood a man wearing a wooden white mask. He had the three remaining Red Masks positioned around him, their arms extended and pouring Aether into the ground.“To be visited by such an illustrious company.” The White Mask, albeit acting nonchalant, sounded slightly anxious. Strong as he might be, he still had his limits. If it were only the Nightmare Witch o
Paths of Extinction Chapter 179 Fire Breath
Zeke returned to his normal form, raised the shortbow in his hands and, empowered by ‘Voltage Rune’, unleashed ‘Rain of Arrows’.The glowing blue projectiles poured down on the startled Red Masks. Two of them were unlucky and got pierced by several arrows, as for the last one, he managed to jump back in time only for an extremely and barely visible white line of thunder to go through his mask and then his forehead, ending his life instantly.It cost Zeke a whopping 35PE just for that small attack, but Divine Thunder was by far his strongest skill. It was able to overpower the Dead Ends, so a Red Mask was nothing.Robert and Fin fused their spells, causing a momentary storm of water and darkness to ravage the two remaining enemies. The Red Masks used special artifacts to make their bodies explode, but the shock wave was easily absorbed by Kleya’s magic.When the tremors stopped and the dust cleared, there was an eerie bout of silence flowing between all of them. Everyone was looking at
Paths of Extinction Chapter 180 Heart Operation
“You’re here for the Witch, are you not? I see no point in wasting such a valuable artifact on me. How about-”The White Mask seemed perturbed once Kleya took out the Doom Fan. However, she didn’t wait for him to finish speaking as she waved the hand holding the open fan.With just one simple gesture, a violent and explosive gale of wind was unleashed, pulverising the ground and hitting the leader of the Ascetic Blasphemers.Although he tried to protect himself using the purple-colored threads of magic, he was still hit directly and sent flying backwards until his body hit the wall.His wooden mask was broken, his mouth puking a large mouthful of blood. He supported his wounded body with his hand as he gasped for breath.Kleya, on other hand, tightened her grasp on the Doom Fan. With just one attack, she looked weakened and even sickly.“Open your eyes and see who the true enemy is!” Yelled the White Mask as he spat more blood and slowly stood up.Kleya was about to initiate one final
Paths of Extinction Chapter 181 Dragon Thunder Spear
Were it not for someone viciously slapping his cheeks multiple times, Zeke wouldn’t have woken up. He heard constant rumblings and explosions, but what caught his attention was a floating and half-illusory woman.Her violet-colored eyes and disproprotionately wide mouth made him recognize her identity almost instantly.“Alexia?”She was named Alexia, previously using John as a host. The 5th-grade Artifact, the Talking Sin, had finally awakened from her slumber.“It’s not the time for chitchat!” She half-turned her ghost-like body and pointed to the right, where Jeremy and the White Mask were still going at it.“See that big black eye? Take it from them!”While holding his aching head, Zeke sat up and examined his body. He was feeling quite energetic and stronger than ever before. A couple of moments passed before he rolled to the side, avoiding a large falling boulder.“The entire place is collapsing. It’s time to bail!”The place wasn’t going to last any longer, and his high physica

It was undoubtedly an unforgettable night for Heaven’s End and all its residents, including Emperor Ascalon Serey.The Commercial District, which was entrapped inside a multi-layered barrier empowered by the four Magic Pillars, had suffered considerable direct and collateral damage.Most of the damage, however, was caused by the momentary clash between Zeke and the Angel.“Your Radiance.”Archmagus Robert, Archmagus Fin, and Kleya were facing the ruler. The former two were kneeling on the ground, looking physically and mentally exhausted. However, they had to report immediately after all that happened.Sulong Braveheart was declared missing and many knights were dispatched to search for him. As for Sarah, she opted to rest as she had suffered a lot of wounds.During her final clash against the White Mask, she had actually succeeded in landing a powerful hit, but in return, she also suffered a direct strike to the chest, leaving her incapacitated.“The cultists of the Ascetic Blaspheme
Paths of Extinction Chapter 183 A Happy Ending
“First and foremost, I was the Seat of Sin under Edward Heart, who would later be known as the Mad Emperor. Very much like the Seat of Criminality and Seat of Death under you, I had special circumstances and was eventually ‘recruited’ by Edward.”Alexia had a melancholic expression as she faithfully recounted her experiences without missing any detail.“The second, and more important, clarification that I want to make is about the Three Divine Scriptures: The Paths of Extinction System, the System of Sun and Moon, and the Heavenly System. Yes, they are 8th-grade Artifacts, one of the existing 6. However, they were all based on schematic illustration, so to speak. All three originated from the one and only 9th-grade Artifact, the Grimoire of Transcendence. The grimoire depicted how to create the Systems, including the necessary energies, the materials, the rituals, the sacrifices, etc… Moreover, only someone who had become a Divine being, a God, is able to create a System. And even the

Time passed and no one bothered Zeke. It was unknown whether those looking for him had found his location, but he liked to think otherwise.He stayed by Jennifer’s side, splitting his time between silent meditation and checking up on her. Her condition was stable and the flow of Aether in her body was normal.He could sense that she had gotten significantly stronger, and linking that with the odd occurrence that Bran had mentioned, he suspected that she rose up to become a 6-star Witch.It was common knowledge that Witches were able to raise their so-called ‘stars’, but it would progressively become harder. The existence of only 3 6-star Witches was proof of how hard to ascend a Witch’s ‘rank’.As he stayed inside the inn room, enjoying serenity to think about all that had happened, Zeke was, unavoidably, interrupted by a guest.There was a light knock on the door, followed thereafter by a soft voice of a man,“Mister Orland.”As voltage appeared all around Zeke, crackling in the air,

“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
