Instead of going for the smallest fish, Neil went for the largest. Fortunately, Merlin was waiting above, and Mona was with him. Unlike last time, when he waited for the Eel, Mona manipulated the waterflow to attract the eel, then roared at it. In her mermaid form, she always had control over marine animals and water flow. Neil threw his harpoon once again, shafting the eel straight in the eye. The harpoon, assisted by Mona’s water magic, flew forward as if it was moving in the air. Still, there’s a strange sort of resistance as the arrow penetrates the golden Eel, as if the fish’s flesh is stronger than the weapon. The sense of penetrating into the fish is transmitted back to Neil in a strange amalgam of emotions. Neil felt as if he was driving his own hand into someone’s eye. he was taken aback, but only for a moment. In the end, the spear penetrated the Eel, and started absorbing its blood and bones. The senses grew clearer in Neil’s mind. Is the spear becoming
The entire structure is made by Mercity technology. However, DMO does not necessarily understand and use the Mercity technology. So, what they have here is bits and pieces, assembled in a very wrong way. Unlike DMO, Adele’s system Sage understands every nut and watcher involved, thus, it’s all too easy for the system to decipher how many misuses there are. Adele had always been talented when it came to academic matters. With just the explanation from Sage, she knew how many wrong things there are. First of all, the current is meant to be used in barriers, to stop non native fishes from coming in. It is supposed to be installed vertically, not horizontally. When it’s done horizontally in the center of a pool, it keeps the current going, allowing sea plants to grow on the periphery. Secondly, the wicked looking metal undulating sheets are meant for ship hulls that traverse near the icy frontiers. When hit with an iceberg, they absorb shock and protect the ship. Allowing them t
In the end, Adele had to open her console and show Neil. The safety hatch was turned to off, allowing Neil to take as much mana as possible from Adele. “ Do you think it’s some sort of heroic sacrifice to give mana unconditionally ? Did you assume I would be happy to know of such a thing ? “ Neil asked, his voice Icy cold. Many times, he could not set the mana limit, but having ninety percent or hundred percent of a saint's mana, it’s the same. Yet, he could understand in part why she did this. The battle with the sharks scared her. When the arteries are cut, even a second of delay makes difference between life and death. A wound stab in the heart ? There’s a major difference when it’s ninety percent healed or hundred percent healed. Even if Adele opens the console and changes it to hundred, it might prove to be too late. Moreover, Adele freezes and panics. No matter how much one tries to control, the fight or flight responses are coded too deep in DNA to be changed easily.
While Neil is continuing with his fight, and forming relationships, Rowan was still taking his first steps in to the story. Edy leaned towards Rowan. “He was the guest after you at the radio show. Leigh Miller said she promised to wait for you when he proposed to her.” Edy explained. He thought Leigh was joking when she gave the answer she did. While most people don’t know about her pink mammoth pet beast, it’s not a secret to the public. Wasn’t she using him as a shield a bit too freely ? Rowan doesn’t even have her address. Soon, a bell rang, and a door opened, letting students out. Jeffery was still glaring at Rowan, while Edy turned to the entrance, still snickering. However, one of the first people to get out is Leigh Miller. Or perhaps when she gets out, the entire crowd focuses on her. She walked towards where they were. When she noticed Rowan, her steps stopped all of a sudden. She looked very surprised to see him. She walked straight to him, ignoring Jeffery alto
In the morning, Mina woke up feeling a bit disconcerted due to the cool room.She definitely knew her brother did not buy an air conditioner. Why is the room so cool ? She looked at the table fan. Nope.. there’s nothing different. It’s still the same old creaking table fan ! Her gaze traveled down. What in the world was that ? There’s a transparent watery jelly underneath what’s clearly a big block of ice. Where did her brother get this big block of ice ? It couldn’t have cost little. The surprises did not end there. There’s a pungent smell from the kitchen. Even if it’s an open air kitchen, it’s still a kitchen. Her brother had built an open air kitchen attached to the door. The plot itself is not small, but given he is building an almost paleolithic style cottage, they had to follow the designs of that time. The toilet is located far away, it’s not the flush type but the pit in the ground type that the military used when on march. It is a notch down from the flush toil
Rowan made his stone pillar with a Ⓡ symbol symbolizing his farm. It’s stamped all over the place, with a specialized round shape at the very top. By the time he arrived at the next location, the earth slime just finished digging the pit. Rowan placed his signature stone pillar, then filled the pit. By the time he finished the entire farm, and all pillars, it’s already night. Before he left home, he decided to leave the stone slime on the only mountain in his land, to make sure it eats away all the stone, and levels the land. He brought out the corrupted blood slime, and corrupted flesh slime, ordered them to feed on the corpses in the boundaries. It doesn’t matter if they go a little off from his designated territory, all he has to do is call them back when he comes back tomorrow. He headed home in the same truck he brought out. He returned the truck and keys, checked the shop interface leisurely to see what’s up latest. There are more additions to the shop. There are more
Rowan checked his inventory box carefully. As expected, the oily seaweed is gone. He did not expect the seaweed to have such an effect. Next time, he will test the effects carefully. Yes, there’s a next time. As sad as he was to lose the number of slimes, Rowan felt the evolved slime’s properties were better. When raising cattle, there must be regular culling. He had been feeling conflicted, as he did not want to kill the slimes which have been helpful to him till now. Who knows ! The little blobs of nothing are so greedy, they eat something before he could even tell them it’s feed. Or , maybe they knew instinctively that seaweed could help them evolve. After all, animals instinctively know the good things for their bodies. From now on, Rowan would take care when storing the items bought from the mystery space shop ! For now, that’s a bit too many barrels of oil. If he keeps it in the storage, it keeps consuming spirit energy. Rowan checked the remaining spirit energy just t
Neil expected that there would be some sort of conflict when he exited the dungeon. However, he could not have predicted just how awful of a fight would happen when he is known to be clearing the dungeon. As soon as he exited, a gun was pointed straight at his face. “ Give up your spoils , or die ! “ A cowboy screamed at him, pointing a shotgun at him. ‘ Damn it ! Why didn’t we come from an asian country, where there’s strict gun control ! ‘ Neil cursed, as he remembered the lax gun control and the possible hunter population in Florida. After all, these men hunt anakonda’s and alligators, it’s impossible for them not to have one or two rifles. Moreover, he had plenty of confidence that even more sophisticated guns probably came through given how these guys seemed to be having the same kind of tattoos on their arms. Fortunately, he had been prepared. The shop had been selling the fuel for the ice, and fuel for the fish. Especially the shop from Runisia, he couldn’t love it mo
While Adele and Neil were discussing these details, Orion and his subjects were busy as bees. The flame crystals brought back by Neil had been handed over to the Drow king. At the time, the most vibrant flame crystal was placed in a cradle, in the center of an altar. Five Drows surrounded the altar, looking at the circle pointedly. Orion stood in the head position, the five Drows started chanting. After a time, the Drows stopped chanting and looked at the center, where a flame crystal was placed. Their eyes are full of expectation. Nothing happened. The light of hope in their eyes dimmed at the result. Their gazes turned to Orion, as if asking if they should continue. “ Continue. “ Orion ordered. The king looked on emotionlessly, despite the turmoil going on inside his head. Orion’s newly acquired ‘King’ title is not steady yet. Most of the old leaders did not agree to support Neil, but Orion just pushed it through, by the virtue of providing food and a safe place for Drows.
Sasha woke up quite late. she was lying on the furs in front of fireplace, like a kitten. She hadn't slept this well for a long while. It’s almost like a dream. Perhaps it was, given Adele was standing in the corner, staring straight at Sasha. Sasha wondered why she was able to sleep this well in the middle of a battle field. The answer was surprisingly simple. Because she was surrounded by family, and friends. Valerie fought with her life on line to protect Sasha, despite being a Snorc. Dan … he smelt like home. There are no other words for it. He was her only family, until Rudy arrived here, and probably would be her only light, when the world becomes cold and dark. Dan and Valerie's predictions about Snorc peace treaty being a ruse came true. Even so, the Snorc attack came far too fast. So much so, the defense could not even gather compleetely. Dan’s arm is still holding hers as woke. He held her hand on one side, and the hilt of the sword on the other side. W
Neil’s heart filled with unspeakable dread when he looked at the invisible shield membrane slowly covering up the temple. Every cell of his body rejected that shield with all of its being. Neil acted involuntarily. “ Retreat ! “ he screamed at the top of his lungs. His desire to take every last one of the elves with him powered his next spell. ‘ Collect ‘ Neil commanded with all of his being. His magic exploded, pulling all the nearby flame crystals, every last one of the flames whooshed out, becoming a red crystal as they rushed towards Neil. Neil, with Merlin on his back, rushed as fast as he could towards the portal that’s becoming unclear by the second. The space has become destabilized, and the time space continuum broke as the shield continued to cover the flame temple. The black flame in front of the priest is still burning, the remaining four Tomoe of the flames are still alit, but all the other flames are gone. It’s only then Neil understood the scale of
Neil retrieved his spear, changed it into a chinese slaughterer broadsword, with about three foot pole and one and half foot blade. He twirled the blade slightly, the necks of three priests were cut off. [ Experience + 5 ] [ Experience + 5 ] [ Experience + 5 ] At the same time, Merlin was not silent. He stabbed a priest, then twirled and beheaded another. [ Experience + 10 ] The message popped up. Like that, Neil and Merlin danced in the courtyard. After their decimation of fifty priests, the priests ran away, and grouped together among them. They went for the necklaces of the fire priests, coalescing the necklaces with their own. “ Merlin ! Collect the red necklaces. “ Neil commanded. The next moment, the mana blade in Merlin’s hands vanished. He stuck to Neil’s back, while Neil cut off the head, Merlin collected the necklace. They worked tirelessly, decimating the priests. However, there was no end to them. “ Blluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooo
While setting up camp meat just retrieving their modular home for Neil and Adele, it meant something far more complex for Drows. All the space mancers came together with their latest catch of space crystals. Then, they set up a hexagonal space barrier around a gigantic field, isolating the space from the time worm. Cosmos gave an unnecessarily long explanation, which could be summarized into ‘ this way, we don’t get sucked into the time worm’s belly accidentally ‘. The memories are cut off when Caspian and Xena enter the temple - however, at this point, Neil has come to a conclusion about one thing. They never entered the time worm’s inside. They only fought in an ephemeral space that reflected the fire temple, they did not go inside the fire temple exactly. However, the things he had in his hands are real. In Particular, land tokens have come up with real land. That means only one thing. That the real land tokens are still out there for him to grab. On top of that, he has s
Xena did not explain her intention. Obviously Caspian spent the entirety of the next hour in confused anticipation, while everyone around him laughed at him knowingly. Xena finished her selection of fabrics. She ordered another set for Caspian himself, this time, in yellow and black, with a symbol of a bull. The next announcement came after an hour. All the participants of the spring fair contest are called to a venue. There are multitudes of fabrics, clay, metal pieces, even silver, gold and gems on various tables. On the other side, there are various tools, for making pottery, for making jewelry and various other items. “ Valkyrie had long been known as the city of the craftsmen. Our women have the best of clothes, best of jewelry and best of men when it comes to that. It is your job to prove that valkians have the most dedication when it comes to love as well. You are tasked to make a token of love for your beloved. Men and women both are free to choose what they want to m
“ Ladies and Gentlemen of Valkrie ! Welcome andddddddddd… .Welcome to the sixteenth sprint fair of lover’s paradise. As always, your response has been more than hot ! This time, for the first time in the history of lover’s paradise, we meet the numbers needed for the seven trials of the couples. Without further ado, let us start the treasure hunt of the lovers. The first challenge in the game is to know how much your lover knows you. On my right side, there are cabins. Our lovely ladies will stand in the pink chair, our handsome men will sit in the blue chairs. “ The host went on to explain they would be answering three questions. As long as answers sync, the couple passes. “ What’s your man’s name ? “ they asked. “ Caspian Hart “ Xena answered, so did Caspian. What’s your girl’s name ? “ was the next question. They obviously are doing this to filter off the random game breakers from entering the game. “ Xena winter child “ Both of them answered at the same time. “ Where did
“ Hey! Stop laughing at me, you moron. “ Xena ordered Caspian bossily. “ I am not laughing at you. I am just happy we both lived till today. “ Caspian said, chortling with laughter. The words brought a hard stop to the amusement of Nadia and Tara, while Xena shared his happiness. “ Indeed ! We still have today.” Xena said, sitting down at the edge of Caspian’s bed. To be truthful, it is quite amazing. They were thrown out of the capital city in a time of strife, walked through five battles, and countless skirmishes. They crossed the sea ! Then they went to institutions which require one to be beholden to them until death, yet, they both are sitting here, free!It is nothing short of a miracle. They have dodged death by a hair’s breadth a thousand times. They have overcome insurmountable odds. “ Oh ! Stop laughing, you idiot ! She's not joking. “ Xena said, referring to Nadia. “I am not sleeping with anyone save my wife. “ Caspian answered Nadia after he got control on his ow
“ Caspian Hart ! You moron ! You stupid imbecilic idiotic jarhead ! “ Xena exclaimed, as she threw her hands on his neck. “ Hey! What’s with the over reaction ! I did not die ! “ Caspian mumbled, a hand rubbing soothingly on Xena’s back. Xena stopped crying after some time. Caspian held her lightly, enjoying the rare instances where Xena actually shows some emotion. “ What day is it ? “ he asked, after Xena pulled back from him. “ You still have the gall to ask for the day ! It's the thirtieth day after the valhallan new year. “ Xena told him. “ it’s .. My god ! Was I asleep for ten days ? “ Caspian asked in shock. “ How many days did you think it was ? “ Xena asked him angrily. “ Just .. Right after the woman in red left. She was so scary. “ Caspian exclaimed. “ Woman in red ? Madea ? “ Xena asked, an ominous feeling rising in her heart. Caspian shook his head. “ The other one. The whining fire spirits wanted her to submit to them. She ate them all ! I hid because I was a
