chapter 198 – quick! status report!

[Crinis, could you come over here please?] [Of course Master] the little tennis ball of endless darkness responded immediately. I get the feeling that she’s able to sense where I am since she manages to roll towards me despite having no sense of sight. Once she reaches a space just in front of me she unfolds a few tentacles and …

Chapter 197 – improve thyself

wwwwWWWACHA! I’m up! Snapping alert after my nap I immediately leap into more work. Got stuff to do, no point slacking off like a dumb croc! (yeah I said it!) First thing on the menu is expanding the farm chambers. I originally thought that two would be fine but now I’m not so sure. I need to be more ambitious …

Chapter 196 – humans and their needs

Once I get close enough I’m quickly recognised by the people and the reaction is a unlike what I expected. Firstly the humans seem unusually comfortable with having a monster ant wandering up to their area. I guess they’ve seen plenty of ants wondering here and there over the last few days. Secondly they seem a bit… reverential. When they …

chapter 195 – surface situation

The Queen was in her chamber much the same as she had been over a day ago, covered in workers and resting peacefully. She hasn’t had any reason to go out and fight lately so I hope she’s enjoying a period of relaxation. Considering the measly supply of Biomass that the workers have been extracting from the surface there hasn’t …

chapter 194 – a tasty feast

After continuing to hose down the foes and let Tiny’s fists smack them with electricity the idea finally occurs to me to widen the damage out even further. I take over the hose with my main mind and start spraying as wide a field of monsters as possible. It doesn’t matter if I knock them down or not it only …

chapter 193 – the next wave

It takes a while for the vicious itch to fade. The coordination cortex is like an octopus that sits between my sub brains and the main mind so as it mutates and changes my entire brain zone lights up with itching. It’s intolerable! But finally gone! The process finishes and I find my pet monsters looking at me funny. Look! …

chapter 192 – battling the marsh

Deftly I use my sub brains to weave together two water bolts, leaving one brain to maintain and operate the transformation construct, as I lie patiently in wait like the great hunter that I am. The flower has no way to detect me with my advanced stealth active and my positioning being on point. [Water magic affinity has reached level …

chapter 191 – tentative exploration

I leave my pets and Vibrant working on the shortcut tunnel and slowly encroach on the marsh expanse solo. It  isn’t that I don’t think they could fight whatever it is that we find in here it’s just that I don’t want to attract unwanted attention at this point. So I do something I haven’t had to do for a …

chapter 190 – the marsh expanse

Are there gods in Pangera? Scholarship in this area has been largely suppressed since the Church of the Path rose to predominance, their inquisitors have been most active in their pursuit of those willing to explore this scholastic line of enquiry. Despite their effort though the centuries there has been a small but industrious cadre of truth-seekers who are keen …

chapter 189 – the croca army

Looks like we might have hit something by mistake? Although, considering everything down that tunnel is sure to be hostile, I’m not sure I would call it a mistake? I wonder what I even hit with that wave… The mystery is soon solved when a gang of angry and damp looking Croca-Beasts come swaggering around the corner looking for trouble. …
