im scared....

The first encounter with an oracle. Looking forward to the next chapter :-) Thank you.

lenkite

Small correction for this chapter: Ilea can definitely sink into the Sea of Ice/Truth as her third tier allows for it. Whether some [Ice Elemental] tries to use her as a [Snack] is a different argument.

James Faulkner

Damn so the oracles really don’t fuck around lol

James Hamlyn

I wondered about that too!

StarWolf

Lol

Maybe glitched and Elos is finally showing signs that Ilea is in a simulation. Time to send a bug report to the devs.

bob barker

She could trade 4 tier resistance training for the possibility of fleshy Horizontal Tango

bob barker

I bet she could score a lot of points if she said that it was the most loving embrace that she's had since she was a small child. She could also score points by apologizing for being rudely uncommunicative while entering their home. But it seems like "scoring points" isn't something that she's very interested in. This continent's soon-to-be-greatest hero doesn't do it because she's particularly conscious of the feelings of strangers. She does it because she's only heroic for her fam, and her fam happens to live on this continent.

Simons Edgar

"Two arms were raised to the side, the legs hanging without motion". Is the oracle T-posing to assert dominance?

Vortozan

I do love an intriguing tale

John Pratt

Seems like, yeah. Though they seem to be more complicated than an elemental, more a confluence of mutually reinforcing things than a pure expression of a single thing. I could see Ilea getting an evolution like "Oracle of Gainz" based on this revelation, becoming an essential spirit of body reinforcement.

Ever since there was a comment by one of the elves that Oracles wield the power of elementals, I've wondered if they've done what the True Fae brought up to Ilea. Merged with an elemental. This chapter really makes me think they might have. Conversation with the True Fae: “We will not elaborate on such endeavors. However a large part of us agrees that a date would be desirable should you ever follow that path. Your mind and essence would become something entirely unrecognizable. If you wish to preserve who you are, we suggest you refrain from such actions.” From this chapter (specifically "What she felt wasn’t primal terror at the sight of an ancient predator, but a pure and utter lack of comprehension."): "A humanoid figure hanging in the air, its form blurred and unfocused. Two arms were raised to the side, the legs hanging without motion. Two bright dots were set within its head, though Ilea couldn’t discernif they were blue, white, black, or any other color. Each was like an abyss, taking her in with infinite depth. Something akin to hair flowed from the being’s head, and yet it was perfectly still. Ilea kept her eyes on the being, healing her brain as blood froze near her nose. She wanted to retch at the sight of the being but felt calm at the same time. What she felt wasn’t primal terror at the sight of an ancient predator, but a pure and utter lack of comprehension. The only experience she could compare it to was the act of trying to comprehend powerful magical runes. She was looking at a magical phenomenon, one that overwhelmed every bit of her perception and ability to think." And to those who brought up Isalthar killing an Oracle, maybe they were a "Young" Oracle similar to what we've seen with the Young Lightning Elemental. Ilea has proved that she can fight it to a standstill (and so likely kill it), but Wolfy (the mature Ice Elemental) would stomp her into the ground.

John Pratt

I think it's safe to assume that she has Resistances available for every thing she maxes out and will have it for every normal skill she maxes out unless it's more satisfying for her to win it somehow. Like I sort of suspect a scene of her qualifying for 3rd tier Dancing, because that's cool. I don't expect a scene for her qualifying for 3rd tier Sage of Torment because that's a less defined skill that exists only to acknowledge a way people perceive her. They're both jokes made in to skills, but Dancing lends itself to a really cool fight scene, while Sage of Torment is just an affirmation of a joke, and doesn't lend itself well to a scene.

John Pratt

That Dragon was a Life magic Dragon, and it obviously had a passive effect on it's environment. It used cancer as a weapon, but I wouldn't be surprised if it just passively induces cancer with it's presence. Ilea just wouldn't have noticed that for how short their encounter was.

John Pratt

Honestly, I think the Meadow is less overwhelming purely because of the classes it chose. The Meadow is obviously interested in the promotion of others to a greater state of well-being. So it chose to learn how to make plants grow to aid food supply, it chose life magic to heal beings, it chose space magic to move beings out of danger, and eventually it chose arcane magics to defend itself. Only it's arcane class makes the world around it more dangerous, while it's space magic merely makes it more strange. Meanwhile the Oracle is a bundle of unpleasant stuff. Ice, soul, mist, maybe time maybe space. Nothing about here whole deal is helping people.

The Oracle can somehow read/identify a lot of Ilea's titles, shouldn't the Oracle also of included "Arbiter" or "the Primordial Arbiter" ?? Because this seems exactlyyyy like the type of situation the class defines.

Endoria

So the Oracles are the incarnation of the element in every respective elven domain? Like elementals as the creator of elves.

Melting Sky

So THAT is what an oracle is like. Just being in her presence would kill pretty much any other human in existence other than maybe the sand guy and even he would only likely survive her aura due to the fact he's powerful and knowledgeable enough to come prepared with some mythic artifact he's squirreled away to stave off the ice. I think the Wanderer title is doing a lot more for her than she realizes. I don't think it makes her stealthy or invisible to detection. I think it works more along the lines of making those she meets not notice her as a threat. Even the elves she ran into just kind of treated her as an oddity and with about the same level of attention and aggression as they would show one of their own. Sort of like a strange and interesting visitor rather than an invading enemy.

jordan

While I would agree that it is unlikely that Isalthar killed an Oracle of the same level and power as this one, I would NOT say that it is impossible. Sometimes one power set simply dominates another one. If he got lucky and had a very favorable matchup, he might be able to do it. That being said, it is likely that the Oracle Isalthar killed (assuming he did kill one) was not as high level or as powerful as this one.

hill44

She just might be about to make an Oracle friend and is already a Cerithil, and an Oracle title or something including it would make the elves really lose their shit more than anything. Would also be funny as hell when she faces down the Light Monarch again.

Viedu

Thanx for the chapter! This one left me speachless! Some questions aswered, more presented!

Grond (James)

I got to think it's different than a regular Oracle. This one has a domain unlike any other. It's massive, and has total control over it, and it's so powerful that the domain is not even entirely in our reality. The other elves do not live in a place like this

Dantalia

cool stuffs!

Han Pol

Now I wonder if this is a typcial oracle or a strong or old one, I mean humans also come in many power levels, and even elves do, but if this were a typical one then our elf wind mage has never killed one ever. Maybe helping one to kill herself. Or she was vastly weaker.

Straven

Ok.....if that's an oracle how the BEEEEEP did our one elf man apparently kill one or so is said!? Youch that was a nice one by the way, didn't expect an oracle to turn out like that but I can only imagine that others are different and this one may very well be well past ancient, either way I loved the new chapters.

Torbjørn Nilsen

It is already noted in the chapter that her resistances already should give her imunity to being affected by the cold. As she certainly is here it would be insane to do further test it by going into the ice in enemy teritory.

jordan

It would be nice if the author would give us a view of which general skills Ilea has unlocked the ability to raise to the 3rd tier. She has 3 unspent general skill points now (and is close to a 4th) so it would be nice to see what her available choices are.

jordan

Has Ilea already forgotten what the 3rd tier of ice resistance gives her? One of the abilities is to move through frozen water as though it is liquid. So she should not assume she cannot reach the depths of the frozen sea.

jordan

Wanderer seemed useless, as I predicted. And she cannot switch to Deviant for days yet. Hopefully she does not get frozen alive and need to wait for her mythic title cooldown (eh? eh?) so she can switch to Deviant.

Michael C

Wow wow wow

Sean

Feels like the Deviant title would've helped more here. I'd describe magic that stops space magic as pretty incompatible to her.

Sean

Unfortunately I don't think there's any chemistry.

Vega

And then the Oracle would freeze even that

Interesting fact. So far any really strong 4 mark was dangerous and harmful even while doing nothing or holding back. Meadow(arcane), Fea and Leviathan(insanity inducing existence), and now Oracle. Only exception is Dragon, but she WAS trying to harm.

Carlo Aquino

No wonder even Monarchs follow the Oracles. Now I only pity the One Without Form how could it ever accomplish its purpose of annihilating the elves if it faces such an opposition? It might just detonate the sun in its possessions if it finds the task rather impossible.

Jack Trowell

Nice Ice too

Shadeymankey

Future gf found for when Felicia ages I guess?

Jonathan Walker

You know she would lol

Jonathan Walker

Dudeeeeeeee this is getting awesome 👌 I wasn't sure how something like this book could get better but I just found out, your imagination is absolutely amazing, thank you for such an amazing book these past years

Kalahatze

You did a great job of selling the power levels involved here. The Meadow already seemed strong, but your great descriptions of the Oracle and the environment she is in convey a whole different level of strength than we've seen before. And yet the Meadow is still stronger. It shows just how much it's holding back. Impressive it can even control its power to that extent.

Rick White

Wow…nice!

Jessy

Learning something that is inimical to what you are learning can give you new perspectives and insights

Chopper

Hey crazy ice lady, I got these cheeseburgers...

Serina Tsukaya

Maybe she can offer a horizontal Tango for it?

Almost Famous

Great chapter but that cliffff. Suggestion for the title "The Protagonist" to be added. Would truly terrify her enemies

bob barker

will ilea dare to ask her for future resistance training? :)

Marco Zorbach

So the best that I can tell, the Oracle is an Ice Mage who has gotten to the point of practicing her magic on the conceptual level. The highest conceptual form of ice is Absolute Zero, the complete cessation of all molecular movement. The ultimate expression of Entropy. The only reason Ilea is alive is because she has the Fires of Creation, the conceptual energy of the Big Bang. Now why would an Ice Mage want to study the conceptual opposite of her greatest magics?

Alexander Dupree

Holy shit this chapter was awesome

Zarik0

Well Oracle are "female elf", what we suppose is elf are formed by magic so oracle is more a entity who cause a "natural" phenomen who create elf of the same type of magic, their mother so to speak ;P And damm, well i guess they all different so maybe a friend oracle at some point ;P Other elf are all gonna be dumb when she go out and she say something like "i see your momma, she sweet ;P"

Dax

At the risk of being crude, maybe mid-bang?

Blackmoon11

Okay now Ilea, focus. do not... I repeat DO NOT try to bang the scary ice lady Seriously though, I can see why elfy compared the power of the Oracles to the raging of an elemental, actually, he might have undersold it a bit, close to or maybe even over 2000, also how did she not notice she was a chick? forshame Ilea...... forshame Edit: How the fuck did Isalthar kill one of these things?

Joshua Little

Thanks for the chapter.

juno

I'm absolutely in awe with the ability to create such striking landscapes and mental images that Harthane has. And the Oracle is just terrifying.

Matt

How can you do me so dirty with this brutal cliffhanger? Most gripping chapters ever.

SunderGoldmane

I think it’s a by product of cold. Like when you see through heatwaves, form is distorted. Maybe when you look through extreme cold, color is distorted.

Ted Berkowitz

Now *that's* how you do a cliffhanger. Thank you for the excellent chapter!

Luciaron

Really curious what all the color shifting is about. Thanks for the chapters 🙏

Benjamin

Most high level beings respect the flames. But even meadow was fascinated by primordial shift.

Mamma mia!

If an oracle wants to see the flames of creation then they might be a bigger deal than I originally assumed.

Neric

For me, one of the best chapter

I think the Oracle has a stork deliver them from time to time.

Benjamin

Oooood.Dammmm Sonnnnn..... So how does it make baby elfies?

Tsaimath

I think it's more the opposite effect: You need to be a remarkable being to ever achieve such heights, which doesn't just vanish. Well, that or you have be be kinda born that way, which also doesn't just vanish.

Jack the Dream

Suspect not all Oracles are created equally.

Guilherme Castro

hahahahahahaha

Andrew

Thank you!

Eyes wide

Oh snap. I've got chills just from your story writing I'm getting a no chance in hell feeling so im hoping it's a test rather then a fight to the death. How the hell did our 3 mark wind healer elf kill one he must be a monster as well lol

Rhain

Holy shit this..... the whole thing is just so.... if I could visit anywhere is the whole story it would be this sea of ice and the home of the elven oracle! The vibe I'm getting is some Mountains of Madness-esque cosmic horror feeling to the whole place and I just love it!

WarVenom

So oracles are God damn demi-gods basically. Post 1000, it seems like you either just become stronger (the ascended, various 1000+ monsters, monarchs) or A God damn divine incomprehensible monster (meadow, fae, oracles, etc )

Sebastian Prue

You're gonna leave us like that? Ahhhh

Samuel Gatto

NOT THE CLIFFHANGERS, AHHHHH!!!!!

Great. Now I gotta wait till (hopefully) tuesday... I dislike waiting, sigh. I'm frozen with anticipation....

Alexandria Clarke

Pretty OP

BlackRazaras

Thanks for the chapter
