Despite the feeling that something was off about Danil, this extreme betrayal shocked Mirgia to his core. He leapt at the priest, pulling his dagger … Continue reading Vol 5: Chapter 15 – Ancient Rituals →

The tunnel was definitely going in circles, although due to the slight slope, Mirgia figured this place was functioning like a sort of spiral staircase, and they were going down deeper into the ground. He’d accepted by now that this place made very little sense as a structure, and there must be some strange magic … Continue reading The Hesitant Hero Vol 5: Chapter 14 – Running around in circles →

“It looks like this doesn’t connect to the tunnel,” Doroly remarked.They were stumped by the sudden end to the tunnel.

Being confronted by the holy order of Owlana was a different story. Not to mention they seemed to be accompanied by a … Continue reading Vol 5: Chapter 9 – Reinforcements →

I have been a bit under the weather lately, so I would like to give a heads up in advance. I was ahead on chapters for a while, but I finished today's chapter just the day before posting it. I hope to finish chapter 9 by next week, but if not, we'll take next week … Continue reading Vol 5: Chapter 8 – The first delve →
