Chapter 54 — The Crimson Crown While secretly gathering information from high above, Kun soon spotted something worth watching. A long procession of humanoid creatures—different from the monsters living at the foot of the Flesh Mountain—was escorting a line of towering slaves. The slaves stood over two meters tall, their skin gleaming with a metallic silver sheen. A snake-headed, snake-tailed overseer cracked a barbed bone whip through the air. "Move! Faster, you worthless livestock!" There were tears. There was grief. There was terror. Yet not a single silver-skinned captive dared resist. A crimson streak shot out from the Flesh Mountain. Another blood-red streak rose from the slave convoy to meet it. The newcomer was a towering monster whose massive muscles bulged beneath scarlet skin. A pair of scythe-shaped horns curved from its head. The other was a seductive woman from the waist up... But below that, her body became a skinless serpent's tail of exposed flesh and s...

  Chapter 53 — The Twisted Demon Eye The Sea of Aether was merely humanity's name for it. The dragons called it the  Emerald Dream , while the ancient elves knew it as the  Astral Realm . Different names, but they all referred to the same domain of consciousness. Every world possessed its own independent Sea of Aether. Yet if one's spiritual power was strong enough—or one possessed a suitable anchor—it was possible to leave the Sea of Aether of one's own world and voyage through the void between worlds. Naturally, such an undertaking carried immense danger. History recorded countless powerful mages who had ventured forth and never returned. No one ever learned what became of them. All that remained behind were empty shells that slowly decayed where they sat. Kun himself often immersed his consciousness within Eternal Dawn's Sea of Aether. The deeper he descended, the greater the tempering effect on his spirit. However, using the Soul Transfer Array and the Flesh Seed as...

  Chapter 52 — The Sea of Aether Kun secretly opened a slit in his personal storage space and casually tossed a sapphire-blue pearl over. "Wear this pearl." "It won't cure your illness overnight, but it will allow you to move around like a normal person. That's close enough to calling you healed." "That settles the debt between us." "Bye." Si Shixiu was so annoyed she almost laughed. "Who are you trying to fool? Since when are pearls blue?" Kun simply waved without turning around and walked away. He had already repaid the favor. Whether the siblings chose to throw away the priceless jewel known as the Tear of the Deep Sea or wear it themselves was no longer his concern. Even on Eternal Dawn, obtaining anything from the deep ocean was far from easy. The Naga were notorious for being xenophobic and utterly unreasonable. That treasure—also called the Tear of the Deep Sea—was an authentic Naga relic and anything but common. It conta...

  Chapter 51 — The Anime Convention "Hahahaha..." "What is up with those two cosplayers? They're so unprofessional! Gilgamesh doesn't even have abs and looks half-dead, while that Million Bride Saber is actually wearing a cloak over her outfit? The Excalibur she's holding looks ridiculously plastic. The only thing that seems to have any craftsmanship is that completely mismatched crimson cape. And worst of all—our glorious King of Knights doesn't even have her signature ahoge! One-star review!" "Bro... hey, bro, stop looking so stiff. Come on, look at the camera. Smile!" Li Xiaoyu happily snapped photo after photo with her camera while her friend Tu Xiao stood nearby, covering her mouth as she tried—and failed—not to laugh. With a forced smile plastered on his face, Kun listened to the tourists point at and comment on him. He was seriously tempted to pull out his Coral Staff and wipe everyone's memories clean. Unfortunately... There wer...
