The Matriarch Chapter 74 Another cause for concern
Cushar and Chris helped when the others arrived, seeing as there were still a lot of those things that had gotten through the tree wall.They swarmed the place, numbering to almost a thousand, and looking at the enormous swarm caused them to step in and fight alongside their companions.After the entire ordeal, the cloaked grouped turned to them with a furrow.“Why is a child here?”Was the first thing that the warriors spouted the moment they appeared before them.“Chris, you weren’t supposed to be here.”Barlan’s eyes grew wide when he saw them. He ended up wiping his face in frustration at seeing them there.“If we were not here, those things would probably have eaten your friends there.”Cushar defended, pointing at the men who survived because of the defensive shrubs that were created around them, not to mention all the large roots and spikes that gave protection to the others.Because of their efforts, there weren’t any casualty, though much of the area was damaged because the m

“Our fort is being pushed back. If we don’t do something about it, we will lose the fight against the krads.”Orboc, one of the eastern scouts that they rescued, slammed his fist on the table.They were currently debating on what was to be done after the whole situation. Thankfully, Chris could join, thanks to Cushar’s recommendation.“Why aren’t you asking the royals?”Rombus grumbled with an arch brow at the drogans. If this was such a problem, it was only proper that the capital handle it, rather than their village.“We have. We’ve sent several convoys for the past months, but they still wouldn’t send us supplies.”Laslon, another of the scouts, states, his shoulders falling upon remembering how they got turned down by their liege.“That is why we came here for lord Asron to convince the king. We need aid, and fast.”It was Tensel, the third and leader of the group, who adds.As he listened in on their woes, it seems they were truly relying on their hero for help. Yet, they were un
The Matriarch Chapter 76 Moving out
“Could you not just give them the seeds and let them handle it themselves?”Herlein kept saying though she was already packing an entire basket of stuff for him. All the while she sniffed, trying to hold on to the sobs that wanted to escape her.“I’m not sure how long it’s going to take to grow them if I do not do it myself. Besides, Cortus and Cushar are also coming, so I am certain I will be safe.”Chris assures her that everything was fine.Though it pained him to leave them there, he saw that as an opportunity to help the eastern fort and to establish a means of observing the area.After careful deliberation, he’d suggested to have his special fruit-bearing trees planted on the site, since doing so would allow the army to have a steady supply, which in turn would make them more sustainable and self-sufficient.“But will you be all right? I hear the eastern lands are quite harsh and plants hardly grow there.”The female drogan was now covering him in light clothing. From his neck t

“We are almost there, right?”Chris groaned, placing the sticks of fish that they caught a while ago.It had been a month now, and they were still traveling. The worst part of it was that the place that they were going to seem to be a desert.As there wasn’t anything in sight except grass and huge cactus like flora. He finally understood why Herlein insisted he bring lots of gourds along with covering up in light clothing.“Yeah, halfway probably.”Cushar chuckles, the wizard started was starting the fire for their food.It had been a rigorous day, and they were all tired from the lengthy journey. They continued to move until sundown; it did not help that they kept encountering krads every once in a while.“I never thought that we’d take this long. This place is farther than the capital.”He remembered that it only took them about two weeks to get to that place, but here the travel point was several times longer, which worried him.He’d guessed that they could return to the village wi
The Matriarch Chapter 78 The eastern fort's welcome
Wooden spikes burst forth from the earth, piercing every single krad in its path. Fire then ran down from the sky, burning each one of them.The entire battlefield became a large roasting bonanza, as they barbecued enemies to their deaths.“Seems we’re getting closer.”Cushar chuckled when more of the enemy appeared from afar.They had just come out of the desert and were now entering a dead and dried up forest on the outskirts.A huge number of the monsters immediately greeted them the moment they stepped into the region.“I thought the fort blocked the pathway where krads are coming from, so why are there so many of them here?”Cortus grumbled, slashing several of the beasts who were trying to get through. The creatures continued to come one after the other.“There was a breach on the wall. Looks like they haven’t fixed it yet.”Tensel showed up to help them, hacking his way through the monsters.“It’s as if there’s no end to them.”Chris was getting frustrated and scared, unsure if

Chris groaned, still having the heaviness on his head. He could himself float in mid-air, yet his body felt heavy. When he sought to open his eyes, everything around him remained blurry, but he could hear the chatter of people all over the place.“This isn’t right, they came here to help us,”It was Orboc. His voice was stern, gritty, and angry as usual.Once again, he struggled to mumble and ask what was happening, but his entire body did not follow what he wanted.“It’s for the good of everyone. You’ve seen how we barely survived that last attack.”Tensel grumbled.There were sounds of slapping and hitting from everywhere, along with groaning, before he heard another voice.“Lord Eldegor said that general Asron has already surrendered himself. He’s pledged allegiance to the king, so this is us doing him a favor.”It was Laslon who stated that.Chris still had a headache, but hearing that caused him to shrug it off. He needed to know what they meant. He wanted to ask it himself, but
The Matriarch Chapter 80 The rescue
“Why are you doing this? They will hang you if they find out that you let us out?”Cushar remained doubtful of the entire ordeal, remembering how the man kept pestering and berating them.“I’m not doing this for you.”Orboc spat, not taking his eyes off of the shackles.“Then why are you risking your life like this?”Chris asks, a bit confused about his actions.“I’ve served under lord Asron for the longest time, and I know he will not agree to this.”The scout gritted his teeth, almost breaking the cuffs that were on Chris’ with his bare hands if he hadn’t unlocked it.“What’s happening outside and where are the others?”He asks, wanting to confirm their situation.They immediately followed the guy as he signaled for them to move. They stop for a moment so that they could check if anybody was there.“There’s been another breach, and the general has drafted your friends to fight in the front.”He answers before they moved through the dungeons. Tiptoeing as they made their way through
The Matriarch Chapter 81 Drogan pride
The ground crumbled as Chris stepped in, breaking the earth with the release of his power. The crack swallowed several enemies into a pit of spikes, unseen from above. He did not let the roots spring out to avoid being seen, and to make sure that they were not be noticeable.The group stared at them the moment they rush to their aid. Cortus was the one to face them when they couldn’t see their faces.“Stay where you are. We don’t need any help, so you’d better keep your word.”He says, pointing the tip of their swords at them.They had at least a few minutes since the krads were having a hard time moving about because of the cracks.“And what would that be?”He slightly raises his hood, enough to show the drogan warrior his face.“Chris? How’d you get out?”Cortus’ expression quickly change, smiling as he lowered his sword with a sigh of relief.“What did they tell you?”He asks again, intrigue at what deal did the general give to make them follow.“They told us they will free you if

Prologue An impending doom
Within the darkness, on a floating platform made of trees, vines, and krad carcasses, was Chris, sitting on a throne of spikes and bent trunk, along with the wriggling doctor. The roots of the fauna continued to grab hold of the now silent machinery, as it too remained helpless in the void.“We can breathe! Fascinating.”Steinz chuckled, as they were both able to remain alive, even within the emptiness of the space. A thing which was impossible. The chill prevailed, together with the silence, but it did not bother both of them, being protected by the makeshift vessel.“Let’s see you enjoy it when you get bored with the place.”Chris grumbles, sighing as he narrowed his gaze onto the infernal device. The object may have stopped, but he was certain its power remained.“I am positive we can find a way to kill boredom in someway.”The old geezer let out another cackle, enjoying his weightlessness, swimming within the nothingness like a serpentine fish. He used his webs as an anchor, makin

The skies began opening up, tornadoes appeared increasingly. It started wreaking havoc, along with the continued earthquakes.Chris witnessed it all, watching how the land was breaking because of the machine. He took in a deep breath, feeling the drudge in his chest, contemplating on his plan if it will work.He’d been starting there for an hour now, and all this time, he was having doubts because of the fear which was nudging inside of him.He was so far in his thoughts that he hardly notice the portal opening nearby. Out came Raynald, a healed up Oliver, and the others.All of them stunned to see him just standing there, unmoved by all the chaos, looking into the nothingness with lifeless eyes.“Matriarch, everything all right?”It was the sergeant who asked, being the only one bold enough to approach and check up on him.That wake him from his dreamlike state, sensing those familiar energies. He smiles, having those warm presence surrounding him.Them being there somehow jolted his
Chapter 230 The first
Chris stared above, watching that beautiful large planet in the sky. He smiles, unable to believe that they are going to collide with such a gorgeous thing.He turns his gaze to the pyramid, humming non-stop. Spike roots rot around it, barely touching the area. The golems which tried to go near the site all crumbled.Once again, he fires a shot. The beam deflects, ricocheting on the nearby tree.He clicks his tongue in frustration. The machine had created its own barrier. He could only find out after getting pushed back when he approached it.“Fascinating, isn’t it? My life’s work.”The gurgling voice states.Chris’s eyes rolled, huffing in irritation before turning to the now crawling geezer.The old man’s head popped out of the body of a large beetle larvae, web like mucus continued to flow out of him, three hands twitching with excitement.Even in his new form, the fellow remained pompous of his job, as it showed in how he gaze at the mechanism.“Yes, I would have commended you for
Chapter 229 Merciful or Ruthless
After an hour of fighting, general Gently’s men started retreating, disappearing within the covers of the mist. The man himself withdrew into the veil of that thick, grayish cloud.The doctor’s lackeys cheered in triumph, having push back their enemy who tried to destroy their weapon. All of them letting out laughs, because even the monsters that were charging in had vanished.Chris watch as the group celebrated their victory and after a thorough observation, he confirmed his theory about them.Once they became complacent enough, he makes his move, stepping out of the guise of the fog calmly.“I knew you were still alive. Doctor Howard Steinz.”He states, narrowing his sights at the man who stood in the middle of them all.The geezer’s smile faded, frowning upon seeing him walk unfazed in front of all those men.The crowd was quick to gather, blocking themselves in defense of the elderly fellow.Those who had a barrier ability created a gigantic dome, protecting both the machine and t
Chapter 228 Decisive Battle
Above them, the cloud ridden sky sparked and roared, as the unrivaled beings clashed with each other.Behind them, booms of cannons and rattling of machine guns continued, and in front, debris would fall off from the top, while flashes of different colored lights would appear, together with the sounds of explosions.Chris remained still, staring at the two individuals flying in the air while cooking up a plan inside his head.“Matriarch, you think it was wise to use him?”It was Finny, fidgeting from the pressure in the atmosphere.Both superpowers kept releasing an immense trace of energy, reaching down below.It continued to make them sense the overpowering presence, causing the unbearable sensation of staying there, since they still got that fear of the danger being close by.“Zero can handle himself.”He mutters the name they gave him, confident that the being is strong enough to take on his opponent.The only trouble they had was the stray beam falling down, blowing up a portion
Chapter 227 Special weapon
Chris narrowed his eyes, feeling every bit of his body trembled in anticipation. His adrenaline was trashing about, his hearts continued to pump uncontrollably fast.The amount of aura the man was releasing was as he had expected, inciting a higher excitement in him.A grin formed inside his mask, unable to hide the sheer joy he was experiencing from relief.“Get him out of here.”He orders, not removing his eyes on the guy.From having witnessed the battle with Oliver unfold a moment ago, he was now used to his speed, so he realized how much effort he needed to exert to stop him.Though he stood straight, his fingers were twitching, alert to take out his weapon if the fellow tried to move from his place.A portal opened beside the wounded youngster, letting out Harold, Raynald, Finny, and Marco. All four were wearing masks, hiding their identity from the guy.The double S class stayed in a steady battle pose, weary of beginning an attack after that. Especially because his wound conti
Chapter 226 To be the strongest
The force that Oliver released blasted away all five mercenaries.The others caught the effects of his sudden surge, because of the wind blowing from him from the pressure.The double S class, Carl, who grinned lasciviously while looking down on the events as it unfolded, also mesmerized by the dazzling display.Oliver’s armor completely changed. It now glistened with a blinding white light, the design on each piece that he wore became more intricate.“What did he do?”Nikolai, the serpentine user, was gritting his teeth, trying to keep himself steady.The pressure being thrown at them made it difficult to move. It’s weight pushing them down to the ground.When everything settled, they all sensed an impending gap in their levels, just by looking at the youth.Oliver can feel the power surging through every vein in his body, increasing all his senses.It was as if it turned him invincible at the moment, having an overflowing amount of energy, along with becoming so light on his feet.W
Chapter 225 A decisive gamble
Oliver’s heart raced, each time someone turns his way, his blood rushing as he continued moving in the mist's guise. His every motion stayed silent, quick, and fluid.He pauses when he reaches the summit, as the clearing no longer provided any kind of protection. It was where the opening yet did not have any area to hide.He takes a few huffs of breath, shutting his eyes to muster his courage, readying himself for what he is about to do.Once done, he did not hesitate to take a step forward, having put all his mind into it. In seconds, he dashes about five meters into the clearing, but his momentum was not enough to reach the gap.“It’s the sniffer!”One soldier got a glimpse of him, gaining the attention of the others. All those that were in reserve promptly rush to the site.But he had already broken through the force field, slamming his shield right into it without a problem.He uses the sudden pause as a leverage to shift his movement, turning to his side to head towards the pyram
Chapter 224 A single man's risk
Flames, flashes of light, and debris mixed into the mist. There was barely nothing to see there because of it.Screams of terror, despair, and anger filled the air, along with the explosions and shots now and then.Deep within the middle of it all, Oliver was pulling his father to the safety of a nearby mound that he saw. Away from all the beams, bullets, and other stuff that were flying around.“Come on, dad.”He urges, as his old man could no longer move, groaning with each motion because of the wound on his legs.They froze in place, hearing a loud clicking sound behind. Instinctively, he let out a shield, blocking a claw in the nick of time.He winced, receiving the brunt and weight of the force, his bones cracking, forcing him to bend his knee to weaken its pressure.Huge mandibles began munching on his defense, attacking to break through it, while its scythe claws pulled at him. All he could do was tug at it, drawing its attention to hide his father from those large, dark, insec
