Chapter: 617

Little did he know that Jay was actually level twelve.

“Now… if he did manage to escape Losla…”

A number of scenarios ran through his head as he tried to place himself in Jay’s shoes and retrace his steps.

“The north and east were still surrounded at the time, so Jay either went west or south… but the skeletons went west…” A devilish smile grew on his face.

“He may be strong, but he’s not lucky. He failed to realise that only the south and west mage hunters left to investigate the rebels…”

This was a theory – but he thought it was more likely that Jay remained in Losla, so he decided not to send a whole squad through the south forests.

He quickly added orders through his communication crystal, “Send five men to sweep the southern forests – tell them to keep heading south until they find anything… and post another man on each instantaneous dungeon entrance.”

There was the possibility he was hiding in a dungeon too.

As his plans were set into motion, Marsh’s eyes gleamed with delight, as if he was looking over a treasure chest filled with skill scrolls that would give him unimaginable power.

Catching a human necromancer would bring his status to unimaginable levels – perhaps he may even taste the longevity elixir.

***Hope you enjoyed the mass release – you can probably understand now why I wanted to release that part of the story at once; a lot of crazy things happened.

Also I didn’t ruin Matheson’s development, it was intentional. Sometimes you need to take 1 step backwards to take 2 steps forward :).

Some news: 15-chapter mass release coming near end of month/start of next month (due to privilege chapters increasing from 5 to 20.)

+ Discord link below – link expires in seven days. Only for privileged readers.

*Awooo!*

Snarling wolves chased Jay through a black forest, his heart pounding as he pulled himself through bushes and kept falling over roots and rocks; It was like they were trying to hold him back.

He felt like the wolves were close to him, and at any moment they could snap their dooling jaws and crush his neck – it would be his doom.

Soon, the black trees got thicker and the forest floor turned to mud, which only got slipperier, and the more he gave into this thought, the slower he seemed to become.

Soon the trees became so thick that they formed a wall. There was no escape, he was done for.

Turning around, he saw the wolves charging through the forest.

The wolves were not normal by any means: all of them were large, blue and translucent.

Their tails all had blue strings attached to something, and as Jay’s eyes followed these magical blue strings, he soon saw a tall jagged mountain with a giant blue diamond-shaped mana stone of some sort.

It almost hurt Jay’s eyes to look at it, and as he gazed, it seemed sentient as it flashed a blinding blue light back into his eyes and caused him to flinch for a moment.

Panicked, Jay tried to pull some bones out and summon his skeleton, but as he looked down, fear gripped his heart.
