Chapter Summaries

Medivh consolidated his spiritual power rather than risk a damaging attempt to advance to Fourth-Rank Mage, while expanding his territories and strengthening the Loran faction. The chapter ended with him recognizing the grown Spirit Cat girl Mingyue and gently calming her.

• Medivh decided to temper his peak Third-Rank spiritual power before attempting to advance, fearing failure would damage his soul.
• Medivh inspected the expanding cities and skeleton production across his territories and supplied the Loran City-State with another batch of Anti-Air Ballistae.
• Medivh concluded that Kurd City needed more Mage Towers and a larger Mage Tower Cluster after the Blue Dragon's attack exposed its weak defenses.
• Mingyue, a Spirit Cat girl, became overexcited while spending time with Medivh, and he recognized her as the little cat who had once craved spicy roast chicken.
• Medivh held Mingyue still and reassured her as she expressed her happiness that he remembered her.

Medivh gave Sindasa Water Spirit Fruits and Ice Spirit Fruits to help him court an Azure Wave Dragon, then spent time with Cynthia. Their intimacy damaged the dragon egg’s Incubation Array, so Medivh supplied Elemental Crystals to keep the young dragon comfortable inside it. More than half a month later, Sindasa returned in high spirits and found Cynthia still away in Kurd City.

• Sindasa asked Medivh for magical fruit to give an Azure Wave Dragon, and Medivh gave him both Water Spirit Fruits and Ice Spirit Fruits.
• Cynthia visited Medivh at Tower No. 1, where their dragon bloodlines awakened and they transformed into half-human, half-dragon forms.
• Two days later, Medivh visited Cynthia at the dragon egg’s nest, and their intimacy damaged the Incubation Array.
• Medivh had Suixin communicate with the young dragon, who agreed to do without the array if Medivh supplied more Water Elemental Crystals and Thunder Elemental Crystals.
• Cynthia began regularly collecting Elemental Crystals from Tower No. 1 to supply the egg, while she and Medivh continued meeting at the nest.
• More than half a month later, Sindasa returned from the sea and grumbled that Cynthia was still in Kurd City.

Sindasa discovered that Veledra had extorted a huge store of Elemental Crystals from Medivh and warned her about the consequences, but she refused to listen. After Sindasa spent months courting an Azure Wave Dragon, Veledra hatched and established her own Dragon Nest near Dragon Gate Ferry.

• Sindasa found Veledra's egg embedded in Elemental Crystals and realized Medivh had supplied them as compensation she had extorted.
• Cynthia delivered another cart of Elemental Crystals, and Sindasa left in frustration while Veledra insisted she had earned them.
• Sindasa returned to Kurd City and borrowed Elemental Spirit Fruits from Medivh to help court the Azure Wave Dragon.
• While Sindasa was away for two and a half months, Veledra hatched, grew rapidly, and began visiting Kurd City for Elemental Spirit Fruits.
• Sindasa returned with two Azure Wave Dragons and learned Veledra had built her own Dragon Nest in the Hengduan Mountains after joining the Dragon City-State Pact and becoming a Dragon Aspect guarding Dragon Gate Ferry.

Sindasa visited Veledra’s Dragon Nest and found his sister content with her lavish life in the Hengduan Mountains, refusing to move to the East Sea. Medivh’s cultivation plans continued as Oriana strengthened the Wrynn family’s bloodlines, while Medivh’s household grew noisier.

• Sindasa arrived at Veledra’s Dragon Nest with Cynthia and was impressed by its splendor and Veledra’s abundance of food and elemental crystals.
• Sindasa told Veledra that two Azure Wave Dragons had come to invite her to the East Sea, but Veledra refused to leave her home.
• Veledra offered the Azure Wave Dragons fruit, while Sindasa took the snacks and told Cynthia to stay with Veledra.
• Sindasa escorted the Azure Wave Dragons back to the East Sea, worrying that Medivh’s wealth might attract the dragon he liked.
• Medivh used Veledra’s Origin Dragon Blood to cultivate Dragon-Fox Maids, and Audrey and the other wives asked Oriana to strengthen their bloodlines.
• Oriana raised Audrey and the other Viscountesses to mid-level Dragon Kin, then later heard the increasingly loud sounds from Medivh’s household.

Medivh welcomed his fourth child, Turalyon, while the Wrynn family’s churches and wars continued to shape his interests across several planes. By June, he began attempting to advance to Fourth Rank as a Necromancer, but the first skeleton he resurrected had not yet triggered a breakthrough.

• Medivh named his newborn third son Turalyon Loran Hobarton Wrynn after he received the Blessing of Light.
• Bishop Moana, Uther, and the regional Archbishop of Light sought to teach Medivh’s sons the ways of the Holy Light.
• Medivh weighed the benefits of the ongoing wars on the Horn, Lord, and Gamma Planes, which let him profit from supplying armies and excavating ruins.
• Medivh began his Fourth Rank breakthrough by resurrecting a Lava Dragon Horse skeleton, but its mental-strength activation was fading without a sign of progress.

Medivh endured a difficult advancement to Fourth-Rank Low-Level Necromancer, unlocking the ability to work with Red Bone and refine skeletons with greater control. He explored fused skeletons but decided to prioritize conventional resurrection and further advancement.

• Medivh sustained his mental activation by resurrecting twenty-four new Top-Grade Yellow Bone Transcendental Skeleton variants, then advanced to Fourth-Rank Low-Level Necromancer after a week.
• Medivh learned to refine Red Bone and resurrected Low-Grade Red Bone Transcendental Snow Fox and Snow Wolf Skeletons, whose ancestral legacies renewed their peoples’ hopes.
• Emily and the High Tower Maids from the Snow Fox and Snow Wolf tribes thanked Medivh and celebrated his advancement.
• Medivh resumed bone-tempering and strengthened his bones to High-Grade Purple Bone before stopping as the strain on his soul and body grew too great.
• Medivh gained finer control over bone refinement and assembled experimental fused skeletons, including a Centaur Skeleton Warrior and Four-Armed and Six-Armed Snake-person Skeletons.
• Medivh chose not to devote production capacity to fused skeletons and added Skeleton Warhorses to the resurrection list for his four Bone Spirit Substitutes.

After advancing to Fourth Rank Necromancer, Medivh reviewed his expanding territories and growing skeleton forces, then rotated troops between planes. He honored outstanding soldiers with admission to Kurd Knight Academy, laying the foundation for the Wrynn Family’s first vassal knight families.

• Medivh strengthened the Number One Bone Spirit Substitute to High-Grade Purple Bone and reviewed the skeletons resurrected and produced over the past ten months.
• Medivh surveyed the Wrynn Family’s expanding territories across the Winter and Hengduan Mountains, the Other Plane, and the Gamma Plane, while seeking new life-forbidden zones for development.
• In mid-July, Medivh sent Number One and the Kurd Fifth Legion to the Horn Plane as Number Three and the Kurd First Legion returned to Loran City-State and then Kurd City.
• In mid-August, Medivh presented outstanding soldiers from the First Legion with admission letters to Kurd Knight Academy.
• The honored soldiers swore loyalty to the Wrynn Family and began training to become the founders of its vassal knight families.

Draven visited Medivh and Hilda in Kurd City, then returned to Hobarton Manor after a month. Medivh later tricked Blue Dragon Sindasa into donating blood for his Red Bone Transcendental Skeletons and sent him off with gifts to pursue a dragon romance.

• Draven returned from Lord Plane with mage apprentices and praised Hilda's progress and family life during his visit to Kurd City.
• Draven urged Medivh to have more children, then stayed in Kurd City for a month before returning to Hobarton Manor.
• Medivh upgraded his Magic Rune Armament for Draven but kept the Wrynn Family's dragon blood secrets to himself.
• Blue Dragon Sindasa returned from the East Sea, developed a nosebleed, and Medivh persuaded him that regular bloodletting would improve his health.
• Medivh collected Sindasa's blood to cultivate Red Bone Transcendental Skeletons, then gave him Elemental Spirit Fruits and money for his pursuit of the Azure Wave Dragon.

After the Holland Kingdom and Loran City-State won the Second Battle of Broken Bridge, Medivh received a domain and the title of Count Urgong for the Wrynn Family’s support. He then began developing Crimson City in the Scorching Red Desert, where the skeletons mined local resources and started building a Wrynn Dark Tower.

• Number Four Bone Spirit Substitute returned from Golden Wheat City with high-grade bones, and Number Two took over the city.
• The Holland Kingdom and Loran City-State won the Second Battle of Broken Bridge, reclaimed territory, and pushed the front into the Lizardman Kingdom.
• The King of Holland honored Medivh and Princess Layel with fertile land and granted Medivh the title of Count Urgong.
• The Holland Kingdom bought three hundred Anti-Air Ballistas and trained its Imperial Guard to operate them with help from the Sky Bow Battalion skeletons.
• A Skeleton Exploration Squad found the Scorching Red Desert, and Medivh sent the Skeleton Expeditionary Team to build Crimson City there.
• The skeletons used local sand and underground ores to expand Crimson City while beginning construction of its first Wrynn Dark Tower.

Medivh tested the Skeleton Mage Corps’ experimental Elemental Storm against a Bloodthirsty Mosquito plague, protecting Wrynn Territory and advancing his research. Later, he found Oriana in heat in the underground Dragon Nest, and she was overwhelmed after he used the Dragon Transformation Art.

• Medivh declined the Academic School’s invitation to join the Odyssey City-State Mage Association and registered only mages from the Court School.
• Medivh warned his people to seal their homes when a Bloodthirsty Mosquito Swarm approached, and the swarm devastated crops beyond Wrynn Territory.
• Medivh activated the Experimental Elemental Storm at Dragon Gate Ferry, where the Magic Runes and Wrynn Dark Tower unleashed a storm that killed many mosquitoes and drove the rest away.
• Medivh treated the plague as a chance for the Skeleton Mage Corps to collect data and improve the Elemental Storm toward a controllable Elemental Barrier.
• Medivh found Oriana in the Dragon Nest, touched her forehead, and discovered she was in heat when pink mist enveloped them.
• Oriana returned to her Lava Dragon form, but Medivh activated the Dragon Transformation Art and overwhelmed her with his dragon presence.

Medivh grew closer to Lava Dragon Oriana and learned that his actions had put Raging Wave Dragon Veledra at risk of becoming another companion. After the Bloodthirsty Mosquito disaster ended, Medivh’s family inspected the Kunpeng-class Alchemy Airship, and he secured flight permits for its first commercial route.

• Medivh used the Dragon Transformation Art to absorb Oriana’s dragon blood, then fell asleep beside her; afterward, she stopped resisting his advances.
• Blue Dragon Sindasa saw Medivh and Oriana together and feared Veledra would eventually be drawn into Medivh’s company, while Veledra’s Dragon Nest had already become a retreat for Medivh and his companions.
• By early April, the Bloodthirsty Mosquito swarms had disappeared, and farmers planted short-season vegetables after their crops failed.
• On April 9, Medivh and his family watched the Skeleton Mage Tower’s Alchemy Airship make its maiden flight, and Medivh named it the Kunpeng-class.
• Medivh registered the Kunpeng Merchant Group in the Loran City-State and obtained permits for a fixed route between the Loran and Odyssey City-States.

Medivh led the Wrynn Family’s Expeditionary Legion into the Blackstone Plane, where the Noble Council assigned them a fortress on the front lines. After repelling a Werewolf night raid, he began enclosing the fortress in a new district while Lanluo City’s command arranged Transcendent support against powerful attackers.

• Medivh sent Number Four with five hundred thousand skeletons and twenty thousand human soldiers to Loran City-State to await the Blackstone Plane portal.
• The Wrynn Expeditionary Legion entered the Blackstone Plane and was ordered to defend a front-line fortress near Hobarton and other Loran-affiliated families.
• Medivh took over the fortress and ordered the Skeleton Engineering Team to build a district around it to protect the structure as a historical relic.
• Werewolves of the Scare-Claw Tribe raided the fortress on the first night, but the Wrynn Family’s heavy firepower drove them off before they reached the walls.
• After observing the defense, Lanluo City’s General Command Headquarters decided to leave Transcendents at the fortress to guard against enemies too powerful for the Wrynn Legion.

The Wrynn Family strengthened Sunset Fortress by building an extensive district inside the surrounding mountains, while Udir arrived to help guard it and continue searching for Rhine. After the Scare-Claw Tribe’s failed night attacks, its troops withdrew rather than assault the completed defenses.

• Udir arrived at Sunset Fortress to help oversee its defenses before continuing his search for Rhine, whom he believed had survived the beast tide.
• The Skeleton Engineering Team excavated the mountains and built an Underground District using ore from the Afterglow Mountains.
• The Scare-Claw Tribe launched two night attacks, but the Skeleton Legion repelled them, with Lanluo City’s Tier 5 fighters stopping the enemy Transcendents during the larger assault.
• The Scare-Claw Tribe stopped attacking after its defeats, while the Skeleton Engineering Team completed the Nine-Grid District around Sunset Fortress.
• The Scare-Claw Tribe’s troops examined the fortified district but withdrew from Sunset Canyon without launching an assault.

Medivh oversaw the Wrynn Family’s expanding cities while Light Priests confirmed that his Skeleton Legion consisted of Alchemy Lifeforms rather than undead. In Crimson City, he used an attacking Sand Beast tide to test a Chaotic Elemental Storm, which opened a Spatial Rift but badly damaged the city and cost the family valuable forces.

• Light Priests from Kurd City and other planes vouched for Medivh and recognized his Time Skeletons as Alchemy Lifeforms.
• Medivh continued expanding Sunset City and directed the Wrynn Family’s development across several planes.
• More than a dozen Sand Beast Lords led a beast tide against Crimson City’s reserve, so Medivh ordered its skeletons underground and unleashed a Chaotic Elemental Storm.
• The storm killed the attacking Sand Beasts and opened a Spatial Rift to the Elemental Realm, but several Dark Tower Spirits were lost and Crimson City suffered severe damage.
• Medivh found that the storm had also created hardy magical plants, which the Skeleton Mages collected for cultivation.

Medivh discovered that Time Skeletons could increase their bone grade after reaching the growth limit of their current grade, though doing so required years and vast resources. He decided to reserve this cultivation for select high-grade skeletons, then learned that Isabella was pregnant with their fifth child.

• Medivh confirmed through experiments that Green Bone Skeletons could reach their grade’s limit and evolve into Blue Bone Skeletons by absorbing higher-rank Magic Beast Blood.
• Medivh mapped how Time Skeletons could advance through bone grades while retaining a high rank, and judged that limit-breaking was worthwhile mainly for rare, high-grade skeletons.
• Medivh chose to let most Time Skeletons grow naturally and postpone special cultivation until they neared their limits.
• On October 18, Isabella told Medivh that she was pregnant with their child, and he celebrated the news.

Medivh welcomed the returning Second Legion and continued developing his academies while the human legions prepared for future campaigns. After Blue Dragon Sindasa thanked him for helping win over an Azure Wave Dragon, Sindasa encouraged Medivh to pursue Veledra, and Medivh accepted her invitation.

• Medivh welcomed the Second Legion's distinguished soldiers back to Kurd City and gave them admission letters to the Kurd Knight Academy.
• Medivh continued training human soldiers and mages through the Kurd academies while assigning legions to their next posts and campaigns.
• Blue Dragon Sindasa sold Medivh more blood and received Water Spirit Fruit and Water Elemental Crystals to help him court the Azure Wave Dragon.
• Sindasa urged Medivh to pursue his sister Veledra, and Medivh went to the Raging Wave Dragon Nest and admired her.
• Veledra noticed Medivh looking at her, invited him to demonstrate the Dragon Transformation Art, and Medivh rushed toward her after activating it.

Medivh inspected his growing bone reserves and oversaw Sunset City’s expansion after the Scare-Claw Tribe’s defeat. He strengthened ties with Loran-affiliated nobles while retaliating against Odyssey City-State nobles who obstructed his work by withholding military supplies.

• Veledra praised Medivh’s stamina after his encounter with her and invited him back for more massages.
• Medivh found that another batch of Low-Grade Blue Bone had accumulated enough history and left it in the underground Graveyard District to mature further.
• Sunset City expanded across Sunset Canyon, and its defenses helped the Skeleton Legion and Lanluo City’s Transcendents defeat the Scare-Claw Tribe’s fourth attack.
• After taking Sunset Canyon, Medivh halted east-west expansion and planned to develop the mountains north and south while supplying Loran-affiliated nobles with military goods.
• Medivh blacklisted Odyssey City-State noble families that had obstructed him and delayed the sale of the third batch of Anti-Air Ballistae.

Medivh reviewed the Wrynn Family’s territories and its growing skeleton forces thirteen years after becoming an Odyssey Pioneer. Although the family had built a formidable foundation, he resolved to keep expanding through Block Cities and avoid direct conflict.

• Medivh reviewed the Wrynn Family’s territories across Horn Plane, Lord Plane, Gamma Plane, Blackstone Plane, and the home plane, noting their cities, holdings, and room for expansion.
• Medivh tallied the skeletons he had resurrected over 21 months and the forces produced by his Bone Spirit Substitutes.
• Medivh assessed the family’s skeleton army and found it had thousands of Yellow and Red Bone Skeletons, but only five Fifth-Rank combatants apart from the Lava Dragon and the Blue Dragon.
• Medivh decided to stick to his strategy of staying cautious, building cities on unwanted land, and avoiding unnecessary clashes with other factions.

Medivh used Elemental Frequency Modulation to connect the Spatial Rifts in Storm City and Crimson City, opening a Plane Portal between them. After Freya visited Crimson City to document his achievement, Medivh began preparing portals to other cities and opened a Spatial Rift in Ulan City.

• Higher-ranked mages at Odyssey Magic Academy sensed Storm City's elemental fluctuation, while Bishop Moana deduced that Medivh was trying to open a Plane Portal.
• Medivh and the Dark Tower Spirits synchronized the elemental rhythms of Storm City and Crimson City, then used energy from both cities to open a Plane Portal.
• Freya recognized Medivh's success and asked to visit Crimson City so she could record the achievement firsthand.
• Medivh let Freya travel through the portal, and she later returned to Kurd City to write a new biography of him.
• Medivh began building up energy for portals to other cities, while his Number One Bone Spirit Substitute opened a Spatial Rift in Ulan City with a controllable Elemental Storm.

After a Spatial Rift opened in Ulan City, the elemental storm dissipated and powerful observers turned their attention back to the war. In the Gamma Plane, Medivh negotiated with the Odyssey City-State Council over a food shortage, winning new reclaimed land and securing the Wrynn Family’s logistical position as the skeleton army began developing it.

• Number One Bone Spirit Substitute created a Spatial Rift into the Elemental Realm, and the elemental storm soon dissipated without intervention from Bishop Syndra or the Light Priests.
• Powerful figures from the Holland Kingdom, Loran City-State, and Lizardman Kingdom stopped watching Ulan City and returned their attention to the main battlefield.
• Envoys from the Odyssey City-State Council told Medivh that the Gamma Plane was short of food and offered the Wrynn Family an additional tract of saline-alkali land.
• Medivh agreed to provide stored grain for the emergency and arranged for Number Two Bone Spirit Substitute and the skeleton army to reclaim the land.
• The Odyssey City-State Council warned those who had obstructed the Wrynn Family, and the skeleton army began building street blocks on the new territory.
