Chapter 378: Last Stand

BAIRON WYKES

The ancient elf was weightless in my arms as we rushed between houses toward the edge of the cavern. The streets were still filled with people, some standing idly, confusion etched across their faces, but most were hurrying in the same direction as us.

A cascade of voices rose up and then faded away as we rushed past. Virion addressed each and every one without stopping, directing them toward the deeper tunnels. Those who were most loyal to Virion had...

Chapter 377: Time to Go

ALDIR

The familiar shape of Dicathen’s flying castle slowly came into view through the dark clouds looming high over the Beast Glades. The castle seemed cold and dead, no longer the vibrant hub of Dicathen’s Council.

One of the large bays that allowed flight in and out had been smashed open. I banked in that direction, passing through the thin layer of mana that contained the castle’s atmosphere before coming to a stop just outside of the castle itself. The ...

Chapter 376: Choices

VIRION ERALITH

My boots felt as if they were covered in thick mud, each step through the empty halls heavy and dragging. The weight of confrontation bowed my shoulders and made my temples ache. The impromptu rally, or rather my response to it, was already chasing in circles through my mind as I reconsidered each word and phrase, fearing that I hadn’t articulated my thoughts well enough.

When I reached my private chambers, I turned to close the door only to find ...

Chapter 375: Voices

ELEANOR LEYWIN

I rocked side to side as Boo’s broad back swayed with each slow step. His breath was heavy and even, almost sleepy after gorging himself on glitterfish. We were taking our time, moving slowly as we returned from Boo’s favorite fishing spot and headed toward the square outside Town Hall.

I could already hear the low rumble of many voices combining. It sounded like dozens, maybe even a hundred or more…

It was weird. Growing up in Xyrus, a ...

TurtleMe: Another chapter only for my Patreon peeps. Because I love you all. Surprise~ Enjoy.


SETH MILVIEW

Everyone was screaming as the stadium shook.

A translucent bubble of mana covered our group. Mayla was clinging to my arm. I was dimly aware of blood dripping around her fingernails where they’d dug into my skin, but I couldn’t feel it.

Deacon was on the ground, holding his head. Yannick had slumped back in his seat, uncons...

Chapter 374: Afterwards

TESSIA ERALITH

I stood lifelessly, unmoving as if paralyzed, my eyes unseeing as my thoughts turned inward.

Agrona was shouting, but through the blood rushing through my head, his words were muffled like thunder in the distant mountains.

This man who’d supposedly been my friend once—I ignored the nagging sense that almost every memory of him continued to elude me—had tried to kill me. Again. But more disturbing than that, I had lost control of my own b...

Chapter 373: The Victoriad Ends

ARTHUR

Cadell stiffened at the sight of the relic armor, taken aback by my transformation. I could see his jaw working as his teeth ground together, the frustration he felt emanating from him like heat from a flame.

“Your tricks are a mockery to the asura, boy,” he said scornfully as his form crackled with energy.

But his voice was muffled, smothered by the sound of blood rushing to my head. The world blurred and my eyes locked onto Cadell—the first tr...

Chapter 372: Unsanctioned

ARTHUR

Nico took a half step toward me, jaw tensed and a vein pulsing visibly at his temple. Black spikes thrust up out of the ground at his slightest movement, his skin tinged with faint wisps of soulfire flames. “Even after two lifetimes, you haven’t changed.”

The false smile fell from my face at his words, and I bit back more goading words. Any pride I’d felt at my own ingenuity in drawing Nico into this fight—one where he couldn’t run away or call ...

Chapter 371: The Victoriad IV

SETH MILVIEW

Standing at the bottom of a long stretch of stairs leading up into the stadium seats, I nearly turned around and gave up. I was so tired…but then, having your bones and musculature stitched back together by magic wasn’t exactly what I’d call restful.

I’d stayed in bed for the entire second day of the Victoriad, which sucked. While everyone else was cheering on the wargames or spending their allowance at the market, I was curled up und...

Chapter 370: A Brief Reprieve

ARTHUR

I knocked lightly at the door before pushing it open and peering inside. A round-cheeked woman glanced up at me, nodded, then returned to caring for her patient.

Seth lay in a bed, wrapped in bandages, every inch of exposed skin shiny with healing ointments. The woman was passing some kind of rod-shaped device over his torso, treating his multiple broken ribs, fractured pelvis, and dislocated hip.

‘Tough kid,’ Regis said. ‘I thought...

SETH MILVIEW

“They’ve been gone for so long,” Pascal muttered to Deacon, who was standing next to him. We were all lined up in rows as Assistant Aphene led us through a series of movements and forms to warm up our muscles. “What in the name of the High Sovereign could the Scythe of Sehz-Clar want with our professor, anyway?”

“Maybe he offended or angered her in some way?” Deacon suggested, fidgeting nervously with his mask.

Tapas has officially moved the weekly comic update to 9 AM PST / 12 PM EST on Fridays.

And since I want to give my comic readers enough time to enjoy the episodes and have discussions about it without feeling rushed to jump into the novel right away, I'm also adjusting the chapter uploads...

Chapter 368: The Victoriad II

ARTHUR

Clamping down on my emotions with a cold iron grip, I refused to let myself be overtaken by rage at the sight of mana beasts ripping apart unarmed and magicless people…my people.

My stomach turned at the sight while the rest of me wanted nothing more than to God Step onto the field and kill the beasts.

The power to defy reality in my grasp, yet I couldn’t even save those people.

I reasoned that restraining myself now was for the greater good...

Happy New Year!

It’s officially 2022 here on the west side of the U.S. so I’m posting this now. 2021 was a weird year to say the least, starting off getting back home from the hospital where I spent 3 weeks recovering. Throughout this year, as I got back up on my feet, you all have been nothing but awesome. Even as I spent a couple of months not posting anything, you stuck around. Even as I tried to write again, you told me to slow down and care for my health. I’m grateful for the patience and kindness...

One-Friday Break

Hey y’all! I know I don’t take breaks for novel very often so it comes with great hesitation that I will not be uploading a new chapter next Friday (12/31 PST). That being said, I promise the update the week after will come with a great surprise!


Please look forward to Season 5 of TBATE webcomic and as for the novel side, I’ll see you next year!

Chapter 367: The Victoriad

A/N: We are finally at the Victoriad! Trust me, I know a lot of you have been waiting eagerly to get to this climactic event. I’ve rewritten this chapter a few times along with the chapters after it to make sure it lives up to everyone and my own expectation. This event isn’t going to end in one or two chapters so sit tight and I hope you enjoy this 4.6k word chapter (I distinctly remember telling you that chapters will be from 2-3k chapters on average…what happened?)

TITUS GRANBEHL

“Oh, I nearly forgot to mention,” my wife said from across the dinner table. Smiling happily, she set down the skewered chunk of pink meat she had been about to bite into. “The Vale blood has agreed to our terms. A messenger arrived only an hour ago with their letter.”

I finished chewing and reached down with my fork and knife to cut another piece. “Yes, I thought seeing what happened to the Rothkeller blood might set a fire under the Vale...
