"A divine weapon. I hadn't even thought a tier four capable of creating such a thing yet there it is." Hephaestus said with clear awe as she examined the staff in Nicks hands closely. He also agreed with her as well since he was fairly certain that many of the concepts that had been brought together to create this staff were beyond the reach that any tier four should possess normally. Even the ...
2024-02-14 16:08:27 +0000 UTC View Post"And what became of the wood that the tree was made of?" Nick asked curiously. "Zeus had the trees wood burned in the flames of the realm of the dead so that it would draw the souls of the humans that died to that place. It is why I am surprised to see that a branch of it has survived to this time. Likely hidden by those first humans from Zeus no doubt." she said honestly. "So the first mistake...
2024-02-14 16:04:47 +0000 UTC View Post"Aye that's my bad , I keep forgetting you're made of tougher stuff than the usual folk I deal with your age. Question still stands though about the sudden spike in power you've gotten." Watson said turning serious. I nodded "Found a scale down in that cave that had magma flowing from it. Gaia and Vulcan both got a serious boost in stats after draining the energy from it. Add on the beatdown we...
2024-02-13 16:42:10 +0000 UTC View PostWhile his second body was working on that Nicks main body was working with Hephaestus to upgrade the forging room to her standards or at least as close as they could get. As she quickly learned a vast majority of the resources that the gods had plentiful amounts of were in rare or nonexistent supply at this point in time. She had even gone to check places that they had previously used for stori...
2024-02-13 16:38:09 +0000 UTC View PostIt ended up taking a few days but Hephaestus eventually got comfortable with Nazguls presence. Nick had a sneaking suspicion that most of that time was merely a ploy at trying to get closer to him. The goddess was not subtle at all in what she wanted even though she seemed to think he didn't notice. Nick chose to play dumb however like he was Ron levels of romantically dense since he absolutely...
2024-02-13 16:34:46 +0000 UTC View PostThis was something that Watson came to learn very quickly as his Manectric not only failed to do damage with the electric type moves that made up the majority of it's moveset but was getting beaten down by Rune as well. I didn't even need to call out any orders as Rune wasn't even out of breath by the time the Manectric had finally had enough and passed out. "What a nasty little trick , t...
2024-02-12 16:37:19 +0000 UTC View PostNot only had she finished teaching Nick the parts he was missing and then correcting those he had wrong but also let him advance his plans against Zeus. On the final day of this time though there was a bit of a commotion as Nazgul returned from wherever she had been this whole time. She had simply left shortly after Grindelwald completed his ritual and Nick hadn't bothered to try and figure out...
2024-02-12 16:31:05 +0000 UTC View PostNick knew that the goddess would have likely had an incredible set up for her own workshop but it was frankly nuts how exaggerated it was. The only thing she was genuinely impressed with were the astral equipment and the stuff that Nick used for his otherworldly crafting styles. The rest of it was too "humble" in her opinion. In a way it was infuriating to hear for Nick but he understood that s...
2024-02-12 16:24:59 +0000 UTC View PostThree days after Nick created the rainstorms over the war bands to shoo them away Hephaestus eagerly approached him. "I have completed all of the tomes within your archive , I would like to use the crafting rooms now." she said eagerly. Nick froze mid quill stroke when he heard this "I'm sorry I think i miss heard you. Did you say you completed everything in my library?" He asked in disbelief. ...
2024-02-11 16:08:49 +0000 UTC View PostAs both bodies were Nicks he could in fact multi task using them and as it turned out the dwemer was more cautious than expected. Rather than stuffing all the knowledge within it into the head of whoever tried to read it the small cube only took out a single tomes worth of information at a time before it needed to be activated again. In a way Nick had to admit that it made sense as the dwemer w...
2024-02-11 16:04:50 +0000 UTC View PostAfter that Hephaestus practically lived within the library and regularly received sweets from Dotty since she apparently had a huge sweet tooth. Nick would have thought it funny if the woman didn't have an appetite way bigger than her lithe toned frame would make you thing. She was by no means a big woman as she only stood at about five foot seven inches and had a deceptively narrow body. Despi...
2024-02-10 16:41:32 +0000 UTC View PostEventually Nick finished the tour of the manor with the guest room that he was going to let her use for as long as she wished. "It will serve my purposes well enough." she said blandly after looking over the room. "That reminds me but can I ask why your form is female? The records I have all allude to you being male in nature." Nick said finally unable to resist the urge to know what was going ...
2024-02-10 16:37:33 +0000 UTC View PostIt felt a bit funny to wear as I wasn't used to having something on my face but I figured I'd get used to it eventually. I ended up being all but forced to stay in bed for the remaining two days until my challenge date with Watson by the some especially stubborn Joys. I wasn't alone though as Yani was out of her ball most of the time engaging me in mind games like type chess. I still had a boar...
2024-02-09 16:44:27 +0000 UTC View Post"First it's just Nick , second no one has records from when you were sealed away , best we have is about three or four thousand years ago. As for lodging I have a place that should work just fine so long as you don't go messing with stuff." Nick said and the goddess frowned. "Less than optimal but it will have to suffice , lead the way strange Nick." she said with a small smile at the end. Nick...
2024-02-09 16:30:31 +0000 UTC View PostThe seal was still present in the crystal but Nick knew that the god within was awake now. There was no hostility from the gaze though but rather a sort of curiosity and confusion. {WhAt ArE YoU?} a deep rumble echoed throughout the chamber in an unusual manner that Nick had trouble understanding. It was as if the god had spoken through the very fabric of the world itself rather than with a tru...
2024-02-09 16:27:41 +0000 UTC View PostThis is just a small announcement that i have placed the entire pokemon story into a collection. I will NOT be doing the same for the Harry potter story. That is all , thank you!
2024-02-07 16:38:37 +0000 UTC View PostAll in all Watson was in for an especially nasty surprise in the upcoming challenge as my team was now WAY stronger than I had expected them to be by the time it rolled around. Then again we fought with our full power in order to survive so perhaps it was only fair that the rewards be plentiful. Speaking of rewards I finally remembered the quest I got for finding this cave and got to see the re...
2024-02-07 16:35:40 +0000 UTC View PostThese malicious beings were a very big problem due to an innate ability they all had , nature magic. The treants had the innate ability to command the plantlife around them via magic which meant that should they leave their forests and find themselves on farmland they effectively turned it into a honey trap that in truth only promises death. This unfortunately resulted in every tree within a ce...
2024-02-07 16:33:19 +0000 UTC View PostThere was still a problem with this method of communication in that the range of the signal towers was not that great and that the towers themselves were targets of magical beasts and the war bands that knew once communications were back up it would only be a matter of time before others would start being able to move against them. The biggest advantage they had at the moment was that it took t...
2024-02-07 16:27:41 +0000 UTC View PostI quickly found out though when Gaia burst into a mass of energy that swirled into a huge orb that looked much like all the other evolutions I have seen so far save one key difference. Unlike the normal evolution spheres that are rainbow colored without any color taking the lead Gaia's current one was primarily brown with the other colors being much less in volume. "Ugh! This is not going to en...
2024-02-06 16:15:21 +0000 UTC View PostLike Nick expected there was mass panic in the school as all the students could feel the dense mana in the air. Dumbledore called an emergency meeting in the great hall which everyone attended because they were all awake despite the time. There he revealed that this was the doing of Grindelwald which seemed to remind everyone that the man had been sacrificing towns for quite some time now. Dumb...
2024-02-06 16:03:40 +0000 UTC View Post"What do you mean?" the old goat asked confused but worried. "I received a prophesy of sorts a few years ago that spoke of Grindelwalds plan and what will come of it. In that foretelling three ancient and powerful beings will be revived as a result of the ritual , one of them will more likely than not be my enemy and thus seek my life. I am unsure if I will have the strength to survive the batt...
2024-02-06 16:01:45 +0000 UTC View PostThis wasn't to say that the head of the spear was not fundamentally changed from this event as the metal now glowed permanently after having apparently absorbed some of the Heatrans aura upon it's death. Even before now the head was no normal metal object as it had been forged and remade with aura into a pseudo conduit weapon because of the old man who used it as his hammers head for many years...
2024-02-05 15:52:40 +0000 UTC View PostThis was admittedly a pessimistic way of looking at it since besides testing those weapons had only been used offensively twice. Soon enough though this argument will become pointless as Grindelwalds ritual drew to completion rendering the vast majority of muggle weaponry ineffective. Nick was fairly certain of the date of the ritual as well as there was only one that would serve this purpose p...
2024-02-05 15:47:50 +0000 UTC View PostIt wasn't standing ovation impressive but it certainly deserved recognition. That was what fleur and Gabriel exited the chamber to much to their confusion. The applause died down as the judges scored the results along with the result showed by the chamber. Fifty out of fifty golems defeated and twenty out of fifty treasures collected. In terms of score Fleur actually beat Harry as she got three...
2024-02-05 15:45:23 +0000 UTC View PostFleur actually created a huge commotion in one of the buildings after seeing the golems wandering the ruined streets. Bright lights , loud sounds the whole thing and when the golems went to investigate in large numbers she directly shattered the supports of the building collapsing it on top of them killing fifteen at once. Even Nick was left speechless at the flat out terroristic tactic that he...
2024-02-04 16:48:32 +0000 UTC View PostOnce Harry realized the issue he moved to more aggressive solutions immediately as he started to use the immobilization charm to one by one keep the golems still before knocking them out. Harry and Ron got kicked out of the chamber once the number of treasures and defeated enemies were finished being counted. Harry collected forty of the the fifty treasures and defeated forty two of the fifty g...
2024-02-04 16:44:52 +0000 UTC View PostKrum finally recovered from his panic though and cast a wide range attacking spell that the golem couldn't dodge. One needed to keep in mind however that these golems weren't the ones that almost perfectly imitated the real thing but were instead heavily nerfed representations. Otherwise Krum wouldn't have even made it this far as the real creatures would have long since killed him for his care...
2024-02-03 16:22:34 +0000 UTC View PostIt was also clear that Harry had figured out precisely what Nick had to do with the task if the glare he had was any indication. Nick could only smile and shrug at his friend on the field though as he really wasn't allowed to disclose the contents of the task ahead of time. 'Besides it is far more entertaining this way.' Nick thought with a chuckle. "Now then if the champions would please draw ...
2024-02-03 16:20:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe Heatran launched consecutive lava plumes at us as we dodged and started pelting it with as many attacks as we could to distract it. Rune hit it with a flashing rain that worsened it's paralysis while making it lopsided in movement as only some of it's body was further paralyzed. Vulcan meanwhile ran circles around the Heatran hitting it with as many leers as it could which lowered the legen...
