Ch245-What’s Worse Than A Demon?

It was important to remain calm and collected.
That Faust was as cool as a cucumber was extremely fortunate because Sylver wasn’t certain he would have had the capacity to deal with someone panicking right now.
The number one priority was preventing the demon from fully forming the portal.
Because if th...

Without the thrall’s shadow to hold him up, Sylver began to fall toward the liquid floor. Getting caught in it wouldn’t necessarily be the end of the world, it wasn’t indestructible, but every second he wasted fighting this vampire was an extra second the demon had to come into this realm.
Even if it did catch Sylver, the red ...

They moved in a swarm, a tsunami of hissing, pale-faced, vampires.
With this much open space, there wasn’t a whole lot Sylver could do, going airborne would be suicide, and digging underground wasn’t possible since the “ground” was Tuli’s flesh, which only left him trying to go throughthem.

2023-04-08 14:02:34 +0000 UTC View PostThere will be a "recap" chapter up in a few minutes, followed by a new chapter.
And the plan is a 4K chapter every 2nd day, but we'll see how it goes.
Oh, and if you're reading this, thanks for sticking around for so long!
2023-04-08 14:01:37 +0000 UTC View PostYou may have noticed that February is almost finished, with a sum total of 0 chapters to show for it.
Some stuff happened/is happening, that isn't too great, but it will be over soon enough.
Patreon billing is paused until April, but I plan/hope I'll be posting chapters during March.
2023-02-28 11:24:49 +0000 UTC View PostAs some of you may be aware, it will be February in a day or so. And you may have also noticed that the number of chapters released in January was 0. And on account of time only flowing in one direction etc...

I'm going to start publishing chapters but the Patreon will remain paused until February. The plan is to slowly get back into the groove of writing during January, and have a consistent schedule figured out by February.

In terms of power, speed, and range, a spell can be in 2 circles, but not all 3.
A powerful spell will be slow, but it may have a giant range, or it might be quick, but with a small range.
A fast spell can be either strong and short-ranged, or weak and long-ranged.
But a spell cannot be long-range, powerfu...

He checked the back just in case there was something on there.

As far as makeshift explosives went, this was pretty good.

“Can you talk?” Edmund asked.

“I’ll talk first, my story is shorter,” Edmund said, as he gestured for Sylver to take a seat on his coffin.
The sun reflected off the glass floor and burned away layer upon layer of Sylver’s shadowy skin. Small pieces came off in wisps of black and disintegrated as they fell, without ever reaching the floor.
