Paths of Extinction Chapter 74 Cryo Wolf Tribe
“Hah? A child?”The grizzly-faced warrior eyed Zeke with surprise. He was still holding the massive axe but didn’t seem hostile as if he didn’t consider Zeke or the rest a threat.“Travelers or merchants, I presume?”Although still startled by their abrupt arrival, Zeke solemnly nodded his head. He was on full-alert and especially a warrior of the man. He had killed that winged beast with one swing, making it clear that he was equipped with incredible physical prowess.If he was attacked, Zeke would be hard-pressed to defend himself or flee. Fortunately, however, the new arrivals lowered their weapons and gazed at him inquisitively.“This is a distance away from the main road. Not only is it dangerous but…”The man’s eyes narrowed as he focused his gaze on Sulong, whom he presumed was the leader, “It’s also our territory.”Sulong cursed under his breath and glared at Jack, who repeatedly insisted that he was adept at reading maps.It was kind of odd that they haven’t met anyone and th
Paths of Extinction Chapter 75 Commander Hext
14 days after the incident at Erys.“See? I told you it was a bad idea!”“Shut up!”“...”Zeke and the other three were walking in a line, surrounded by at least ten witches. They unknowingly got too close to one of the outposts and were immediately spotted. Unfortunately, the white van ‘Stella’ wasn’t fast enough to grant them a timely escape.Very much like the Nezulian Republic, the Witch Association also made use of Technology, but mainly within its military.Before the van could cross any considerable distance, a black truck roared from behind and blocked their path.Instead of retaliating, Zeke instructed them to surrender and properly explain themselves once they got the chance.They got dangerously close to the border and it was within the witches’ jurisdiction to apprehend them or even do worse if necessary.Still, Zeke was going to make use of the knowledge he had to warn them about the Ascetic Blasphemers.Although the details of the sightings Sulong got his hands on weren
Paths of Extinction Chapter 76 Signora
Not many Ascetic Blasphmeres raided the outpost, but thanks to the curtain of the night and the unpreparedness of the Witches, the number of casualties reached the extreme within minutes.Although Silya Hext had managed to form a small group, she was still trapped amidst the flames and the rampaging insects that barred their escape. Then again, as a commander and soldier, her duty was to protect this place to her last breath and not abandon it to the enemies.The leader of the assailants was a man wearing the same silver robe as his comrades but his mask was metallic black. With his arms crossed and his face hidden, he stood at the back and watched as the 4-star Witch formed a sturdy barrier while bombarding any who got close to her soldiers.Unfortunately, the Ascetic Blasphemers were crazy as they recklessly and suicidally charged at Hext, trying to tire her out.“Hm?”The black-masked man turned his head and looked at the white van zigzagging through the rubble and leaving a sea of
Paths of Extinction Chapter 77 The Anguished Witch
“Who are you and what are you doing in this outpost? Speak.”Jennifer Savbra, Commander of the association’s military forces and a 5-star Witch, faced the three captives with a baton in her hand.Unlike the other commanders protecting the outposts, Jennifer was a league above them and a distinguished individual within the Witch Association.Not only was she remarkably strong, but her authority across the entirety of the border was unsurpassable.Therefore, when Agent Katrina came back to her senses, she was a bit relieved instead of scared.“I’m from the Secret Intelligence Team of the Republic’s Department of Defense. I’ve come to bring back and protect someone. These two are my target’s companions.”Since Katrina wore her nation’s military attire, along with the presence of the van, Jennifer didn’t suspect them to be the Ascetic Blasphemers. Still, she wasn’t ready to let them go, especially not after finding them at the crime scene.“You’ve crossed the border without a Transit Pass
Paths of Extinction Chapter 78 The Seat of Death
[The skill ‘At Death’s Door’ has been activated!][All stats have been permanently decreased by 15%]A malevolent type of energy, the same as the one oozing from the scythe but stronger in potency and pressure, burst forth like an unstoppable tornado.Even someone like Signora was rendered stiff and incapable of reacting as the black fog twisted and turned until it gave shape to a solid archaic black door.Maniacal whispers invaded everyone’s heads, including Zeke’s, making them kneel on the grounds.The weak-willed ones clutched their heads as they cried in pain, unable to cope with the pain and the soul-shredding whispers. However, that wasn’t even the true effect of ‘At Death’s Door’, possibly the strongest skill in Zeke’s possession.At the cost of sacrificing his hard-earned stats, he would summon the one and only door leading to land of the dead.While trying to keep himself together, Zeke raised his head and saw the black door slowly open, letting out a bone-chilling white mist
Paths of Extinction Chapter 79 Not Found
“Remember, Signora. If I hear anything about you getting involved in more killings…”“No, master! I swear I will follow what you told me! With this artifact, you can contact me anytime you want.”The red-masked Velvet Signora handed a precious contacting artifact to Zeke before grouping all the subordinates who had heard her summon.The grotto was dominated by a brief bout of silence as the confused silver-robed cultists stood at a corner and watched in silence.“You can go now. Keep me updated.”“Yes, Master.”She deeply bowed before leaving along with everyone else. Meanwhile, Zeke sat down and sighed in exasperation.The Ascetic Blasphemers were his mortal enemies, but the main objective was catching Red Mask Fanti Fan, possibly the only person who would know what Zeke was looking for.‘If it means consorting with the devil, then I won’t mind. Sacrifices have to be made… there’s no room for morality anymore.’Silya Hext was saved, however, all the other soldiers were brutally kille
Paths of Extinction Chapter 80 Timely Intervention
All hell had broken loose on that once-peaceful valley. Bubbles of blood were appearing in the air and shooting at the rapidly-moving maniac, who, although cornered by several agents and Arbert, could still hold his own quite efficiently.“Hohohoho what a monster! The Blood Dawn Society sure knows its stuff!”After fighting for barely five minutes, Arbert changed from a youth to a middle-aged man, his long red hair almost reaching the ground as it danced in the air each time he moved.The magically-empowered sickles were ripping into everything coming straight at it, whether it was the nefarious Blood Magic or the agents’ enchanted bullets.Clones identical to Arbert appeared all around him, all conjured using the blood dripping off his fresh wounds.With his command, they charged at the crazily laughing assassin, trying to tackle him to the ground while the leader of the agents was completing his masterful spell.…“Where’s Arbert?”Zeke was sweating profusely and breathing heavily
Paths of Extinction Chapter 81 Keep Him
“You’re refusing to speak? On the account that you’ve been caught within our territory and being implicated with the Ascetic Blasphemers, I have enough reason to execute you this very instant.”Jennifer had her arms crossed as she glared at the pale-faced Zeke sitting across from her. He was brought to her tent along with Jack and Sulong. Only Arbert, due to his injuries, was spared the Witch’s menacing eyes and threatening voice.“What do you want me to do, huh? I helped commander Hext then I left. Why are you insisting I did something wrong?”Even though he was exhausted due to over-exertion, Zeke refused to be bossed around, especially after all the trouble he went through to save Silya’s life.“Tell the truth.”“I already did! Instead of going out there and trying to minimize the damages after a whole outpost was wiped out, you’re trying to push the blame on me? Hah! I’m a citizen of the Nezulian Republic and I have no obligation to answer to you. If you want to execute me or lock

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
