“How would I know? Try stabbing it. That usually solves most of my problems.”
“But if this useless monk doesn’t step through the gates of hell, who will?”
“There is always a threat.” Ogras laughed. “If not him, then some other bastard who either has what you need or needs what you have.
When the fat little beast noticed Zac’s arrival, it roused itself and made a gurgling sound that he supposed was meant to be threatening.
“Lord Atwood works so hard, but never claims any credit,” Joanna said as she pointedly looked at Zac. “Someone needed to speak up for him.”
It was the exoskeleton that was showing its worth, even though it could only turn a turd into a more powerful turd.
She better understood the mentality of Lord Atwood after this past week, why he had pushed himself to never leave the battlefield during the beast waves. Because every time you stepped back to rest, someone would have to offer their life in return. Such was the burden of the leader.
He had no answer, but then again, he hadn’t jumped into a sea of Zombies in search of answers. He was looking for catharsis.
The fight against the Fire Golems would essentially be a practice run for their battle against the Lich King and his forces.
His over-the-top enthusiasm was a bit hard to swallow, but it truly is difficult to punch a smiling face.
Zac could only smile at their approach, feeling that they only had themselves to blame for the situation. The council had so many powerhouses, yet they hadn’t closed a single incursion. They were too tame, and consequently, they were unaware that great riches could always be found close to the incursions.
Undying Bulwark was truly the nemesis of Dexterity-based warriors.
“Before the System came, there was no magic in your world,” Ogras spoke up to explain. “But now you gain levels and Dao Seeds. This is partly because of Cosmic Energy. But the second half is Origin Dao. It’s a unique energy that can be found on newly integrated planets for a short time, an energy that connects your world to the great truths of the Universe.”
The axe was the truth that would allow him to walk to the end of the path,
Slaughter was just a means to an end, not something to base one’s cultivation around. That path was a dead end, where you were no better than a beast.
It was a world where the powerful lived and ate well, while the weak could just look on from the distance. There was no such thing as equality.
To be a cultivator is to be forced into poverty, always scrambling for resources,”
Meditating under the vision from the seventh floor is almost the equivalent of an epiphany,”
Within that petal was sealed the lament of a million powerful warriors, forever unable to leave. The lotus kept slowly growing in its domain as the sole emperor of the planet.
“Have you heard about the origins of the System?” Galau asked. “Of course, the Limitless Empire created it to nurture warriors for their war,” Zac said.
There was no reason for a clan to throw their youths to the wolves to grow like he did. It might create one or two powerhouses, but most would end up dead. Almost no one was willing to rear their young generations like that. But that also meant that they turned out like Average, people having the technique but not the grit to make it through a harsh battle.
Strength is ultimately the true language of the Multiverse.”
What is creation? It is about leading rather than following, a desire to push boundaries further and reach a higher sky. If you simply follow a Heritage to get stronger, you have likely already failed. Each Arcane Master is unique, a genius across the eons. How can one reach the peak by mindlessly following others?
Zac nodded and went back to do what he did best. Why bother racking his brain when one good punch would do the trick?
“If the Heavens are heartless, why shouldn’t I be the same?”
The System had for some insane reason sent him on a panty raid, and if he threw away the “treasure,” he would probably fail the trial.
