Great chapter!

Catra

I did Holy shit what a chapter I guess she learned auto translate, against the wishes of this evil murderous system that denies communication And got the consequences of it

Okay, I did not expect them to actually have the ability to eat souls. I thought it'd just be some sort of system douchery and/or ignorance. They could look like adorable kittens instead of overtly ominous and it'd still be terrifying.

Loved this chapter, unfortunately money problems mean I can't continue my patreon membership. I will order a copy of book 1 on amazon though...

Quote - Helkath’s expression twisted into a sneer. “Colonize the Human wastelands? Absurd. What sane race would willingly choose to live here? Plants are scarce and wildlife is scarcer. Eking out a lifestyle takes thrice as much effort as in any other territory. That the Humans made their home in these parts is a testament to their well-established lunacy.” Rob tilted his head. “Then why keep invading?” “Your kind invaded our lands first,” he stated, baring his teeth. “We responded with as much force as was necessary to defend our homeland, and no further.” - End Quote. Yeah, funny that. Can't imagine why humans would leave here, they must be insane. Oh, they invaded our lands, why would they do that? How evil and greedy of them, talk about imperialism. They have their own perfectly good err...

We just sent our craziest level high Humans to Fiend lands. You guys are overreacting!

Well, given the actions the gods have taken so far in isolating the fiends, I'm thinking that the fiends may never even have realized that humanity had no where else to go. It's one of those societal things where people don't understand what happens on the other side of a country, let alone another nation altogether

Also, fuck the gods of Elatra. Fuck them hardcore for giving brain damage to someone for simply learning a language. I'm really starting to root for Rob to try summoning his blade and stabbing them the next time he sees them

I wonder if the Fiends' repulsion towards Rob and the Elves' inability to understand Fiendish as actual words have the same cause. Most MMOs have an evil enemy. Maybe the Fiends are supposed to be this world's evil enemy (assuming that the Blight is more like a glitch in the game), but since they are apparently just living normal lives and probably would be friendly rather than evil if they could communicate with the other races normally, various measures were taken (by the gods/game masters/ admins/ whatever?) to make sure they and the other races definitely can NOT communicate properly and are naturally tempted to go against each other (due to disgust, hate, bleeding ears, etc).

sounds like its the fiends version of the leveling high. im startingnto think each race has its own cursed racial effect.

Soul Magic can heal Soul Burnt, and/or allow someone to harness "Soul" power non-lethally (ie circumvent Soul Burn fatality), and the Fiends are the key to understanding and/or killing the gods. The reason they're isolated is to protect the dickbag divine Admins from their just recompense. Also, level 99 = Godhood. My thoughts, anyway. Edit: The Blight was manufactured by the Gods specifically to control the arcane advancement of Elatra and to stop its species discovering a way to work with the Fiends, whose magic is able to counteract / impede Divine power. The Blight isn't an error or bug, it's a manufactured virus that the Gods use to alleviate challenges to their power. They are also beholden to the System, and are in fact less ROOT Admins and more like Game Masters on steroids. It's why that one god talked about "Influence": The Gods work within the confines of the System, with some leeway. They don't control it, they exert influence over it. That's also why the System can't process Blight: The "Gods" invented it for their own ends, and the System is trying to rationalize it.

That last bit about making it in five minutes makes me think of the story of RMS Carpathia, which came to the aid of the Titanic after it struck the iceberg. If anyone is interested in reading it, I can link to it.

Nice bit of logic, seems to be a distinct probability if not in fact the truth. Very, very cool, I don't really like high fives but in honor of the logic and the story I give you one.

Man I really loved this chapter! So glad to see this come to fruition
