Chapter Summaries

Rayne fused with the Behemoth's Demon Soul, gaining Level 10 Strength and powerful new abilities while his Extreme Warriors grew stronger through Primarch Symbiosis. After stabilizing, he took two dragons through a Portal to the Floating City to resolve their matter.

• Rayne fused the Behemoth's Demon Soul with the World Tree, advancing his Body of Steel to Level 4 and his Strength to Level 10.
• Rayne tested Level 5 Berserk and found that the Will of Truth kept him clear-minded, then discovered the Behemoth Claws could mark his steel body and slice through tough metals.

• Rayne opened a Portal to the Floating City and led the two dragons through to resolve their matter.

Rayne returned to the Demon Capital with Igon and Galadros, stored their treasure in the Wezelan High Tower, and secretly exchanged Elements with Osiria. He then traveled to the Dwarven Underground Fortress, defeated the Night Goblins, and began unlocking the Thunder God's Hammer.

• Igon and Galadros deposited their treasure in Rayne's warehouse and Alchemy Room, and Osiria arrived before the gold could be moved.
• Rayne and Osiria exchanged Elements through their Soul Pact, while Igon and Galadros remained unaware of their secret communication.

• Rayne opened the fortress treasury, found the Thunder God's Hammer still there, and recited its unlocking spell as golden electricity appeared on its runes.

Rayne claimed the Thunder God's Hammer by imprinting his soul on it, then learned its powers and tested its control over lightning, weight, and planar travel. He flew out of the treasury and emerged above Longshande with his new weapon.

• Rayne endured the hammer's lightning and used Lightning Form and Soul Power to imprint his soul on it.

• Rayne learned the hammer's spells, Thunder God's Wrath, and its ability to alter its weight using Void Meteor Steel.

• Rayne used the hammer to travel through the Ether Plane and appeared high above Longshande.

Rayne returned to Longshande and visited his family after nearly two years away, finding them healthy but distant from the legendary figure he had become. After dinner and a conversation with Briset about his training, Rayne was summoned to the Duke’s tower.

• Rayne used a Portal to reach his family’s villa in Silver Star District and discovered that Transcendents were secretly monitoring the household.

• Rayne shared dinner with his family, heard Bard describe his plans for the ranch, and recognized that his family had grown wary and distant because of his extraordinary rise.
• A High Tier Wizard arrived and told Rayne that the Duke requested his presence at the tower.

Rayne left his family to meet Duke Silverstar, whose protection had kept them safe while he was away. After discovering he had become a Legendary Wizard at twenty-two, Silverstar regretted sending him to another master and invited him to sit beside her, leaving Rayne wary of her intentions.

• Rayne said goodbye to his family and told them to find him in Glamorgan if they ran into difficulties before leaving through an Any Door.

Rayne returned to Glamorgan, rewarded Fabian for his service, and reunited with Osiria.

• Rayne returned to Glamorgan and doubled Fabian's salary, promised him port dividends, and offered him land and a knightly title.
• Osiria visited Rayne in his bedroom, and the two spent the night together before discussing his trip to Longshande.

• Osiria warned Rayne that the hammer's curse was real, but she would not explain why she knew.
• Rayne reassured Osiria that the Will of Truth would protect him, then asked for advice about choosing a new Arcane Arts spell.

Rayne considered which Fifth Circle Arcane Art to obtain from the Key of the Gate, weighing Temporal Shockwave, Void Chains, and Mirror Image. After Osiria suggested he could choose the other spell when the Key reached the Sixth Circle, Rayne chose Mirror Image.

• Rayne asked Osiria for advice on choosing a rare Arcane Art with the improved Key of the Gate.
• Osiria recommended Temporal Shockwave, Void Chains, or Mirror Image because Rayne already had strong defenses and offensive abilities.
• Rayne compared the three spells and ruled out Void Chains because he already had alternatives for its uses.
• Osiria suggested that Rayne could choose one spell now and the other after the Key of the Gate reached the Sixth Circle.
• Rayne refused to roll a die and chose Mirror Image.

Rayne gained the Mirror Image Arcane Art and discovered that his clones could think and act independently, though their prank frightened Osiria. After advancing to the Legendary tier, he accepted that Wizerland required him to take a Wizard Tower and chose the one beside Osiria’s.

• Rayne opened the Key of the Gate, obtained the Mirror Image element, and created five independently acting clones.
• Rayne and his clones startled Osiria by surrounding her naked, so she teleported away and returned after the clones disappeared.
• Rayne visited Ansiwodoss, who recognized his advancement to the Legendary tier and told him to choose a Wizard Tower and take students.
• Rayne agreed to Wizerland’s obligation and chose the vacant tower beside Osiria’s, then began a lesson with Ansiwodoss.

Rayne’s enhanced comprehension accelerated his magical progress, and he helped the Extreme Warriors tame more Fire Dragons before using Thunder God's Hammer to test his flying speed. He raced toward the Supreme Mountain after sensing the marker on the Golden Three-Headed Dragon, hoping to confront it and reclaim its stolen treasure.

• Rayne told Ansiwodoss that Emilith had tamed three Dragons and was gathering her army, then left without telling him about Thunder God's Hammer.
• Sikarius asked Rayne to let more Astartes join the Extreme Legion, but Rayne postponed the decision until he had Marius's consent.
• Rayne and the Extreme Warriors found two Fire Dragon nests and returned to King Kong Fortress with seven more mounts, bringing their total to thirty.
• Rayne sensed that the marker on the Golden Three-Headed Dragon had moved and opened a Portal toward its location in the World Mountain Range.
• Rayne flew with Thunder God's Hammer, broke the sound barrier, and headed toward the Supreme Mountain.

Rayne located Borchi’s hidden lair and ambushed the Golden Three-Headed Dragon with Thunder God's Hammer, breaking through his Holy Light Barrier. Borchi recovered from the blow but began looking for a way to escape as Rayne confronted him.

• Rayne followed the metal marker to an unremarkable mountain hundreds of miles from Supreme Mountain.
• Rayne entered the Ether Plane, crossed the mountain’s projection, and returned to the Material Plane inside Borchi’s lair.
• Rayne struck the sleeping Borchi with Thunder God's Hammer, shattering his barrier and wounding him with lightning.
• Borchi recognized Rayne, demanded to know how he had found the lair, and threatened him.
• Rayne saw that Borchi was considering retreating despite his fierce display.

Rayne fought Borchi, a powerful Golden Three-Headed Dragon, and used his Mirror Image clones and warhammers to overcome him. After knocking all three heads unconscious, Rayne opened Pet Taming Master to tame the dragon.

• Rayne recognized Borchi’s strength and mocked him for bluffing about fighting while looking for a way to escape.
• Borchi attacked with three kinds of dragon breath, but Rayne used his defenses and the Ether Plane to make it seem as if he had endured the assault unharmed.

• Rayne used a Stasis Field to immobilize Borchi, and the clones struck all three heads at once, knocking him unconscious.
• After the Mirror Image clones vanished, Rayne opened Pet Taming Master to tame Borchi.

Rayne failed to tame the intelligent Golden Three-Headed Dragon, Borchi, and used a Soul Binding Collar to force him into submission. After Borchi recovered, Rayne left the lair riding him as his new mount.

• Rayne realized the Pet Taming Master could not target intelligent Dragons and decided he needed another way to control Borchi.
• Rayne restrained Borchi with Thunder God's Hammer, deciphered the Soul Binding Collar, and forced the Dragon to reveal his true name.
• Rayne bound Borchi's soul with the collar and warned him against resisting, though Borchi continued to harbor hatred.
• Rayne let Borchi keep his hidden treasure, then opened a Portal and promised he could revisit his old lair.
• Rayne told Borchi to call him Boss around outsiders, then rode him into the sky as his true Dragon mount.

Rayne brought Borchi to King Kong Fortress and then Glamorgan, where Borchi met three other Dragons and received an offer of new equipment from Lady Shalanwe.

• Lady Shalanwe offered to equip Borchi, and Rayne agreed to reimburse the cost as Borchi left with her, Igon, and Galadros.
• Rayne ordered Fabian to summon Habu with Beginner Tier Demon Souls, then asked Habu how many Gray-Striped Sword-Horned Antelope Demon Souls he could supply.

Rayne bought Gray-Striped Sword-Horned Antelope Demon Souls and carefully matched them to Gunwing Knights so they could advance with high compatibility. He then went to modify Rambo's Gun for the Extreme Warriors' upcoming mission, but producing enough new ammunition threatened to take several days.

• Rayne agreed to buy Habu's Gray-Striped Sword-Horned Antelope Demon Souls for 150 Gold Shields each and asked him to collect more while keeping their connection to the Gunwing Knights quiet.
• Rayne received more than twenty Demon Souls, examined their wave frequencies with his Soul Eye, and summoned seventeen ascended Gunwing Knights to the Meditation Room.
• Rayne matched each Gunwing Knight with a Demon Soul, gave Deson one with Lightning Reflexes, and instructed the group not to exchange their assigned souls before sending them to collect supplies.
• Rayne went to the Mechanical Alchemy Room to modify Rambo's Gun for the Extreme Warriors, replacing gunpowder bullets with caseless phlogiston ammunition.
• Rayne began preparing the new ammunition, but he worried that making enough for twenty-four guns would take several days.
