Jon stole three different Fragments Of Mind, allowing their effects to immediately connect with his Three Seas Of Knowledge. Pupils dilating for a single second as he felt his imaginary mental construct expand, gaining several new temporary qualities.

  [Mine Is The Iron And Gold, The Silver And Copper] causing massive pillars of carved bronze and molten silver to burst forth from the depths of his Sea Of Tehom. Increasing the defensive nature of his imaginary mental construct, liquid metal formed a protective barrier between his conscious mind and the greater sea of consciousness.

  [Mine Is The Seven-Coloured Rainbow Of Light] manifesting dozens of multi-coloured rainbows and auroras to stretch along the surface of his Sea Of Guf. His Fragment Of Mind gaining an even greater processing ability, thoughts and ideas shooting forward at sub-light speed.

  [Mine Is The Wraiths And Spectres, The Ghosts And Ghouls] sprouting enormous gravestones and a blackened necropolis at the bottom of his Sea Of Hadal. Negative experiences and suppressed emotions made their home within these imaginary gravestones, surging with a violent undercurrent and enhancing his physical capabilities with a set of focused buffing effects.

  [Negative Wraith Strengthening]: Increases all physical capabilities. Reduces resistances towards spirit-related damages, afflictions and debuffs. Reduces resistances towards will-related damages, afflictions and debuffs.

  [Ghost Tomb Strengthening]: Increases the effectiveness of all abilities with the Tomb Trait and Mind Trait. Reduces resistances towards life-related damages, afflictions and debuffs.

  Nicolai’s Throne Of Shielded Mountains, Regulus’ Revenant Tomb Palace and Raflea’s Sevenfold Colour Skies turning subordinate to his Three Seas Of Knowledge. Despite the control Jon possessed over his Fragment Of Mind, the addition of three more caused his thoughts to turn disordered.

  Breath hitching-.

  If only for a single moment. Something appearing in the corner of his eye.

  Knight Title Fragment “Thieving Dominus”: Increases the effectiveness of all abilities with the Theft Trait.

  Knight Title Fragment “Mind Cavalier”: Concepts and notions related to imagination, thought, and the mind become infinitesimally easier to understand and comprehend.

  Before his thoughts returned en masse, flowing and swirling into a singular vortex of defined purpose. All of the hesitation and emotions that blurred his thoughts turning still as lie natured spiritual energy coursed through his newly obtained mental constructs.

  “Try and dodge this one,” Jon grinned as he activated the effects of [Light Bringer].

  [Light Bringer]: Manifest golden lance constructs of spear natured spiritual energy capable of being launched as projectiles or wielded as a weapon.

  Lance-shaped spiritual constructs forming in the space behind him, launching themselves forward in a powerful barrage towards Regulus, Raflea and Nicolai. The Vessel Of The Metallic Mountain activating both his Fragment Of Wall and Fragment Of Upheaval, manifesting a two-layered barrier formed from gleaming silver and stony mountains.

  [Twofold Metal Art; Wall Of Brass Thorns].

  [Imperial Mountain Art; Shifting Earth Upheaval].

  The two-layered barrier-type abilities shielding them from the raining hail of spears and lances, allowing both Regulus and Raflea to activate additional abilities. Wolf natured spiritual energy and light natured spiritual energy surging from within them, Fragments Of Marrow, Fragments Of Heart and Fragments Of Spirit being activated in unison.

  Alongside both of their Fragments Of Transcendence.

  [That Which Is Born Through Wolves].

  [That Which Is Born Through Light].

  Two interlocked halos manifesting above Regulus’ head, while a two-ringed halo manifested itself above Raflea. The nadian and undyne sprinting out to the sides around Nicolai, moving in perfect unison with one another through the effects of their interlinked Fragment Of Marriage.

  A stupid-sounding concept in Jon’s mind, ended up producing one of the strongest abilities within all of Springtown. Transcending even the effects of a Fragment Of Mind or a Fragment Of Spirit, Regulus and Raflea linked both their natural lifeforce and personality traits together, allowing them to communicate thoughts and emotions with one another at Mortality.

  And at Knighthood-.

  Allowed both of them to “exchange” abilities with but a single temporary vow.

  “I vow [With Thou In Hand, Immortals Shall Birth The Heavens] in exchange for [Ghost Invocation Art; Wraith-Phantom Barrier]!” Raflea shouted, chanting a unique invocation and exchanging her Fragment Of Incarnation for Regulus’ Fragment Of Barrier.

  Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

  Her Archetype Twin-Xian protectively enveloping Regulus within its embrace, acting in unison with his Archetype Wraith-Wolf and Hungry-Mouth Avatar. Spiritual energy surging through his flesh and marrow as he sprinted towards Jon, activating his lone dual-fragment pathway.

  His Fragment Of Maera-Metamorphosis.

  [Half-Wolf Transformation; Howling-Star Predator].

  Regulus’ figure grew hunched, even as he sprinted towards Jon. Dark-greenish fur sprouting from all over his body, mouth and nose morphing into a snout; teeth transforming into fangs as his eyes gained a yellowish-tint to them. Wolf natured spiritual energy metamorphosing his appearance into something bestial.

  Monstrous even.

  Tear-shaped starlight manifesting around him, radiant and beautiful as he leapt towards his target, claws extended and capable of cleaving through armour plating as though it was made from cardboard. The half-wolf transformation causing Regulus to grow even taller than Jon despite being hunched forward and on all four.

  Minerva-Infiltration Eyes gleaming silver as Jon continued launching lance-constructs towards Raflea and Nicolai. While the focus of his attention was on Theodore, his expanded mental capacity allowed him to split his thoughts more evenly, focusing on each of his targets all at the same time.

  Wood spiritual vein surging within him, as he activated his Fragment Of Barrier while wielding Luin in one hand.

  [Imperial Wood Art; Towering Tree Barrier].

  Dozens of enormous, crimson-barked trees, reminiscent of redwoods back on Earth manifested in disordered patches between Jon, Regulus and Nicolai. Obscuring the vision of the floresiensis, relying on his physical shield constructs rather than spiritually constructed ones.

  Although Raflea would still be able to communicate with Regulus using their shared Fragment Of Marriage, Jon did not plan for the Son Of Wolves And Hunger to live long enough to make the most out of his abilities.

  Watching as he undyne pounced at him from more than a dozen metres away, Jon grinned, swinging out with the Thulian Rainspear in response. Knowing full well the effects of more than two-thirds of Regulus’ abilities, he did not hesitate for a moment to activate all of his mutations

  White-coloured veins appearing all over his limbs and torso.

  [Lamentations Of A Frozen Affection].

  [Ours Is The Blood That Births Winter And Ice].

  [Eyes Through The Looking Glass].

  [Thou Is Mine Shadow, Born From Dragons And Knowledge].

  [Green Shall Become The Ode To Eternity].

  [Thou Art The Monarch Of Spears And Truth].

  [Shapeless Kingdom Of Horrors And Yellow].

  [Helel].

  Fears and shadows extending their horrible appearances towards the Son Of Wolves And Hunger. Strength overflowing from his muscles and tendons as Luin produced a high-pitched whir as it slashed through the air.

  Despite the advantage Regulus possessed in terms of both size and mass, the Third-Veined Knight found his physical capabilities lacking even while assuming his starless-wolf transformation. His seven-inch long claws, enhanced through his Fragment Of Maera-Metamorphosis and Fragment Of Rend, cracked and faltered under the Thulian Spellspear.

  Forcing Regulus to activate his Fragment Of Displacement.

  [Shifting Darkness Art; Negative Space Displace-.

  The Son Of Wolves And Hunger felt his eyes widen in shock, finding his darkness spiritual vein glitching, as a certain shadow-mutation and fear-mutation both struck the sides of his head, inflicting him with almost half-a-dozen different kinds of debilitating effects.

  [Carcosa-Kingdom Corruption]: Reduces resistances towards weave-related damages, afflictions and debuffs. Reduces resistances towards spirit-related damages, afflictions and debuffs. Additional stacks have an additive effect.

  [Yellow-Horror Corruption]: Inflicts a continuous weave-natured damage over time effect. Weave natured spiritual energy. Threads of yellow spiritual energy coil around the mind, corrupting the memories, emotions and desires contained within. Additional stacks have an additive effect.

  [Umbral Maledictum]: Inflicts a continuous knowledge-natured damage over time effect. Knowledge natured spiritual energy contorts the shadow, reflecting a portion of the damage back onto the flesh and bone. Additional stacks have an additive effect.

  [Draconis Anathema]: Reduces resistances towards knowledge-natured damages, afflictions and debuffs. Additional stacks have an additive effect.

  [Wrathful Courage Blessing]: Each successful strike against a target will inflict them with a random instance of a preexisting debuff or affliction. If the target does not possess a debuff or affliction, inflict instances of [Arrogant Red Sin] or [Virtuous Red Sin] instead.

  Jon pulling back Luin in one swift and decisive action, angling the cross-shaped spear tip so that it would penetrate through the bottom of its jaw and straight through the brain within. Carcosa-Form Horrors wreaking havoc on his unprotected thoughts or emotions, corrupting anything that it could coil its shapeless tendrils around.

  ‘You’re mine!’

  The Thulian Spellspear thrusting toward, merciless and final.

  Without a method of controlling his thoughts or emotions, Jon thought that Regulus would be unable to defend himself in the face of this thrust. Raflea did not possess enough movement-type abilities or shield-type abilities that could be activated quick enough in time and Nicolai excelled in defensive combat.

  At least from the report that Sariel and Wilheim had given him.

  Although… there was one thing.

  Just one small thing that he did not account for.

  Three things actually.

  [Lernaean Spell Art; Threefold-Hydra Flames].

  [Piercing Hydra Art; Thunderous-Hydra Spear].

  [Lernaean Winter Art; Freezing Hydra Cold].

  Three violent bursts of hydra-natured spiritual energy launching towards him. Verdant-coloured flames, shamrock-dyed lightning and lime-soaked frost carving green-lines of destruction between the Princeps Of The Wandering Mutation and the Son Of Wolves And Hunger.

  Jon retreating back without a second thought, eyes widening in horror as a familiar looking figure stepped out from behind one of his towering tree barriers.

  Standing at over seven-metres tall and adorned in green serpent-esque scales, the Legionnaire Of Virtuous Pestilence made his presence known to the world. His Fragment Of Lernaean-Metamorphosis gleaming under the dim unnatural light and Fragment Of Mystic-Eyes violent and piercing as the Fearful Reincarnation Monument manifested itself behind him.

  Three mouths speaking in unison, tone as dry and emotionless as Raflea moments earlier.

  “Hello Jon,” Shamael said.
