I watched the scene of the invaders fleeing from nearby, my figure hidden within an illusion. Slipping into their rank in this state and tucking a stone into an unsuspecting caster’s robe had been simple. As for whether or not they discovered that Dana’s rain spell was simply a scare tactic, that didn’t matter. Raindrops pelted me from above as …

Grayson sat at his desk, resting his chin on his hands as he contemplated the guild’s plan for the future. From now on, we’ll have to be prepared for the Keeper to interfere any time we go on a raid. The Keeper was very clearly more aware of the powers of his world than they were, so Grayson believed that …

The information provided by my little ‘helper’ turned out to be quite useful. At the very least, it became apparent why the invaders had taken so long before they really made their first move. It wasn’t just that they were gathering information about me to try to discern any weaknesses that they could exploit… Rather, it seemed that they were …

My footsteps were heavy as I left the palace. Or rather, as I sent out an avatar. My main body remained behind with Scarlet, ready to leave at a moment’s notice. Only like this could I truly meet them head on like this. Once outside, I saw the approaching forces, the smoke rising from the nearby buildings. Chaotic energy rose …

I had to admit, it was a surprise when my mirror suddenly went dark. As if a shroud had been cast over the image. At first, I was worried that he had found a way to completely counter my tracking mirror, but soon realized that wasn’t the case. If the mirror was completely countered, it would have broken. The fact …

The guild leader had a smile on his face as he entertained his guests, a pair of human nobles from a neighboring territory. Using the information that he had obtained from the previous owner of his body, he was able to keep up with their conversation without much issue. However, though he was smiling, he was definitely not pleased with …

I continued to monitor both Kiana and the rest of her five man group for several more days, pushing my world sight until it was exhausted before allowing it to recover. Roughly three days after I began to observe them, however… the couple pretending to be a newly married pair vanished. They hadn’t died, that much was sure. So far, …

“We’ve got the first batch of targets.” Vivi spoke up within the void that Blank called a home, appearing before his desk with what seemed to be a small folder. Of course, such a thing was truly just that, a folder of files that she was passing off to him. The digital god took that folder and looked through it, …

One thousand enemies, huh? I looked towards the window which displayed the number of invading troops. If there were a large number, it was more likely for them to split up. A party of five could easily go unnoticed anywhere in the world with a bit of effort, whereas a hundred, or even a thousand individuals would attract attention if …

It only took a few days before my chakrams arrived. During that period, I spent most of my time self-training to further practice my fighting style. I decided that it was necessary to add another layer of illusion to my technique. If the Keeper, the big boss that they were expecting to fight, opened up with a special move that …
