The Apocalypse Grinder - Chapter 208
<< Chapter 207| Index| Chapter 209 >>Ronan was within striking distance, and was momentarily stunned by the casual deflection. However, it didn’t stop him from lunging forwards and thrusting his longsword at the Grathen soldier’s chest.Thin veins of luminescent white shot down its arm. It snapped into the path of his blade, the flesh colliding with the steel and not giving an inch. What the hell was that device? Some kind of enhancement? Rona...
The Apocalypse Grinder - Chapter 207
<< Chapter 206 | Index| Chapter 208>>Ronan crossed the distance to the two gun-wielding aliens in the blink of an eye. It was clear that these opponents weren’t up to his standard. The first managed to fire its weapon, blasting a laser beam that glanced off his upper arm. His skin was slightly burnt, but it only felt as though some boiling water had splashed against him rather than a superheated laser.He cut down the alien with a single swing o...

<< Chapter 204.5 | Index| Chapter 206>>The three days that Ronan had before his Path of the Gladiator began passed by in a flash. He spent most of it cultivating, and managed to make some serious gains across all four paths.While he had most recently acquired a cultivation art for crystalline mind cultivation, he decided to start with soul cultivation as it was the path which benefited all four the most. His overall time would be lower starting w...

The Apocalypse Grinder - Chapter 204
<< Chapter 203 | Index| Chapter 204.5>>Ronan figured he would work his way down the rarities this time. Saving the best for last wasn’t as tempting when he had so many things to receive. Not to mention he’d just acquired the four skills he wanted the most.He had three epic myriad skills tomes and four epic thesauruses of the trillion traits. That was going to be a huge power increase and he almost wished he’d invested more points into luck ...

The Apocalypse Grinder - Chapter 200
<< Chapter 199 | Index| Chapter 201>>For the first layer of the Seven Silent Clarities Crystalline Mind Cultivation Art, Ronan had to reach a basic understanding of the seven clarities and how they related to him. It sounded complicated, but it was actually rather simple.The seven clarities were as follows: Solitude, Self-Improvement, Movement, Circularity, Stillness, Reflection, and Collectivism. Some of them were easier to relate to himself tha...

<< Chapter 198| Index| Chapter 200 >>This time, Ronan didn’t use them all at once. There were still around two minutes left on the timer before he was taken to the gladiator staging platform, and he had no desire to rush.He did want to try and use some of the shards he’d received from the previous stages of the tutorial, but he wasn’t sure there was enough time to do so, given that most of them weren’t body-aspected. It was only thanks to...

The Apocalypse Grinder - Chapter 197
<< Chapter 196| Index| Chapter 198 >>The pain was unbelievable. Even having experienced it once before Ronan wasn’t able to completely ignore the suffering he was feeling. He was, however, able to put it aside so that he could focus on fighting the corruption that was burning away the edges of his soul.He knew that without the benefit of his heritage and his soul cultivation being beyond the first threshold he wouldn’t be able to fight off th...

<< Chapter 195 | Index| Chapter 197>>Ronan threw himself to the side right as the goblin chief shaman’s staff smashed into the ground. If he was a fraction of a second slower his head would have been turned into paste.The shaman was undeterred by his sudden burst of energy. It screeched and raised the staff to strike once more. Ronan noticed the mana that had filled the air around it before was lessened. It also wasn’t using any magic at the ...
The Apocalypse Grinder - Chapter 195
<< Chapter 194| Index| Chapter 196 >>Ronan had two options to deal with the black smoke rushing towards him. Inhale it and hope his body could handle the damage until he won the battle and healed itself, or attempt to dispel it. Neither was ideal, but there was a risk that his dispel would fail and he would be forced to take the full brunt of the magic anyway.With barely a split-second to make the decision, Ronan opted for the dispel. He had no d...

<< Chapter 193 | Index| Chapter 195>>While the shaman saw him launching the swirling mass of chaotic mana at it, Ronan’s throwing knife distraction meant it couldn’t take proper evasive manoeuvres. It was caught up casting its voodoo and Ronan knew his rainbow bomb would strike true.Colour drained from the world as the spell exploded against the shaman. It had raised its staff to block despite the fact it was casting. If he’d interrupted it...

<< Chapter 192| Index| Chapter 194 >>It took about ten minutes for the last of the horrible goblin screams to fade. Ronan assumed that every single goblin in the settlement had been killed by the insidious black smoke. The screaming faces and other horrible shapes it twisted into as it rose into the sky above the structures were disturbing, to say the least.He didn’t rush right back in once the spell had worked its course. If this was a trap la...

<< Chapter 191 | Index| Chapter 193>>There was no feinting or grandstanding between the two warriors. Ronan and Zagbar the Bloodthirsty stared each other down as the crowds of goblins parted ways for the mini-boss; their champion.Zagbar nodded in appreciation when Ronan didn’t back down from the threatening imposition. The hobgoblin shifted its shoulder, swinging the large blade down and grasping the handle with both hands. The muscles in its a...

He could have ran all of the way there, but there was no need to rush. He had all the time in the world.Once he reached the palisade he slowed his pace and made sure he kept to the treeline. He had no desire to be spotted by one of the guards in the watchtowers before he was ready to break into the villag...

<< Chapter 189 | Index| Chapter 191>>Having consumed the myriad skills tome and the endless treasury tokens, Ronan was eager to see what he would receive. The tome was the first to open, its animation slightly shorter than that of the tokens.When he saw the skill he received he felt both elated and disappointed. Elated because it was one of the stat-boosting skills—namely limitless luck—but disappointed because it was one he already had.[Limi...

<< Chapter 188| Index| Chapter 190 >>The class distribution of the goblins was exactly the same as it was the last time. Two rogues, two warriors, and two rangers. There would be no issues taking them out. His own level was a little lower than theirs, but his stats were in another dimension entirely thanks to his legendary class.He felt that he’d been lacking recently when it came to his pugilist mastery. While weapons were great force multipli...

The choice wasn’t so clear-cut.Actually, it’s quite simple. The only reason I dropped back down from the harder difficulty tutorial was because I didn’t have the strength or skills to defeat the goblin village, he...
The Apocalypse Grinder - Chapter 187
<< Chapter 186| Index| Chapter 188 >>Ronan’s decision came down to the class choices available to him right now. Dao child was the single greatest class he could pick in any given iteration. Having it as a subclass would lock in the absurd stat growth at the level that the mythical evolution provided, plus it would maintain his ability to pursue daos through every iteration.While he had yet to actually understand or grasp a single dao despite h...

A third and fourth hammer blow smashed into it, with the fourth finally breaking through its guard. The four arms were bent and broken ...

<< Chapter 184| Index| Chapter 186 >>Ronan trembled as the Vatronid abomination crashed into his spear. His planted spear strategy was suited for countering a cavalry charge, or hunting boar. This enemy was stronger than both.The bones in his arms shook under the weight of the charge’s impact. The shaft of the spear bent, but held. The low-leveled weapon was putting up a valiant fight. The tip of the spear struggled to break through the seeming...

One of his nightmare candidates had died, which pissed him off. All of his assistants were avoiding him.Except for Shneevol.Despite their two species’ storied history, which involved Gorax’ kind devouring the squishy Ixians in the millions, Shneevol had grown more confident since their firs...

<< Chapter 179 | Index| Chapter 181>>He met the queen’s charge with a raised blade, vital surge in full effect. Her mandibles were sharp, biting into the weaker sword’s edge and wearing it down. He could handle losing it. He had a better one in his inventory.The fact the queen was able to put up an actual fight didn’t scare him. It only incensed Ronan further. He loved a challenge.In his left hand, he began to charge up another rainbow bomb...
