Swoosh!A humanoid silhouette was sliced in two instantly, its body parts falling to the ground as if they had been lifeless, to begin with."Hah."Next, to the body, a young man sighed in relief. He was of a medium build, less than average height, with dark hair, brown eyes, and a light brown skin tone.Normally a person his age should be filled with the vigorous nature of youth, however, this young man appeared somewhat more mature. His heaving chest and deep breaths revealed that he was tired.His expression displayed indifference, his faced hardened by constant battle. He was brandishing a sword, the edge of the blade covered in blood.Surrounding him, there were approximately 50 or so corpses littering the floor."Damn, these guys didn't give me enough experience! These demons are too weak; I just wasted five minutes for nothing!"After muttering to himself the man, returned his katana to its scabbard and checked his body, to ensure he was all in one piece. He was pleased with th

...As Will traversed the tunnel, he met a variety of different monsters, each troublesome in their own way. Yet, despite their formidability, each time Will fought he would adapt and achieve victory. The same applied even for the last batch of creatures he had to fight. Humanoid creatures that had blades as arms and an eel-like head. They were called gagan and had an E+ rank. Despite their rank, one was not that much for Will to handle, and a group was also easy to deal with.The Gagan were humanoid both in form and in nature, their team battle tactics were worthy of praise as far as Will was concerned. Their ability to use spaces and their communication was uncanny. All Will heard was something akin to squealing. Nevertheless, these squeals were definitely more than they seemed. The Gagan did not have any extra abilities besides having a tough exterior and being very nimble.Their blade-like limbs made for effective weapons, but there was no weapon that could pose less danger to Wil

...The first opening was an important event, particularly because it determined ones future cultivation path. Many warriors did countless hours of research and searched for areas with the most ideal locations for a breakthrough. Some even had so many resources they had access to places where world energy was so dense it liquefied.Since one's first opening decided their future path, it was crucial. Will had used his first opening to comprehend not an ability, not a technique, but an intent, and from one of the five constitutional base elements at that! Such an achievement was absurd. This had without a doubt meant that Will's path along the Dao of water would be smooth sailing if he trained hard enough. Little did Adelda know that Will did far more than just understanding a bit about water intent...At some point, Will had opened his eyes and had walked out of the water. His eyes were shining with incredible vigor and his entire temperament had changed. Aside from the obvious bruises

...Spiritual veins were veins that transported energy from the pores on the skin, to and all around the body. Meridians, on the other hand, were broad valve-like checkpoints that existed in the complex network of spiritual veins. There were actually thousands of spiritual veins, but only 20 of such meridians.Places, where spiritual veins intersected, were called acupoints. One could freely operate one's acupoints to assist in directing energy, but meridians were different.There were two types of meridians, called the Eight Gates and the TwelveDoors, respectively.How many meridians you had unsealed at birth was a measure of your cultivation talent. Especially your Gates: the more you trained, the more Doors you could open. The number of Gates however never changes, you are stuck with that number for life.In the beginning, Will had six Doors that were unsealed and five unsealed Gates.Each of the Doors was trait less and thus

At the bottom of the lake formed at the base of the waterfall, was an underwater cave. Within that cave was a young man, dutifully training his sword technique. This cave did not exist when Will first arrived here; he had dug it out to make it his temporary home.The creatures above ground were far too strong for him to fight constantly. Will had no idea where Modus had sent him, but he knew this was definitely a higher level area. The average creature here could easily give the Storm Wolf King a good fight.Thus Will decided to create a hideout for him to rest after a good day's adventuring. The inside of the cave was large, about 800 meters in diameter. The entrance to the cave itself was not that large and was usually frozen shut. Will would only create an opening while he was leaving or entering.Within the cave was a small lake with a somewhat large patch of land in the middle. From above the ground, it looked like the letter O with the water constant

.."Fuck off!"Swoosh!It took nothing more than an instant, and yet, at that moment, a creature with an E+ rating was beheaded by Will, its existence passed off as if he was swatting a fly.Will was running with all his might. He had been moving so fast that he could barely tell what the creature was. Even the usual notification that the system gave hadn't reached his eyes. All he had seen had been a weak, furry, humanoid obstruction, so he had taken care of it.With a frantic expression, Will ran forward as fast as he could within the jungle. From time to time he would come across a 'powerful' creature, but like the ape-monster from before, it would be greeted by Will's sword and sudden darkness.Will did not care who or what he ran into. Be it a creature, trees, rocks or any other obstruction within his path, he would merely swing his sword and make way. All his focus was on trying to make sure he was going in a straight line.

The streets of Yani City were abandoned for the city was under siege. The usual hustle and bustle of the markets, the shouting and cursing from the arena and the footsteps of civilians were now like ghosts of memories past. No one would have accepted that this was a previously active peak C-class city. Repeated attacks from previous years had taught them many a painful lesson, especially when it came to evacuation procedures. The entire city had been safely evacuated to a large underground bunker by the Dwight family members.As the de facto leaders of the city, they had the ability to mobilise all city resources under them. The troops provided by the Yorks made sure the civilians followed the orders and kept the peace while the Cole provided provisions. The large bunker was under the stewardship of the Oxlade family.At an intersection, in one of the richest districts in the city, an area considered just outside the Dwight family compound, stood a relaxed Guy, looking at the sky. He

Let's rewind time a bit to understand what was happening. All the bigshots of the Cole family and Shasha family had gathered together. Bastian had put together a plan, and they were getting told what to do."First is the southern wall. This will be the only defensive battle on our hands, so it makes sense to have most of our soldiers there. Vermaelen will take most of General Moto's soldiers and hold the wall for us. This job is probably the most simple yet most pivotal.The aquatic daemons will have to climb over the wall to have any chance, so all Vermaelen has to do is keep them away from the wall. If that's hard, then take care of them if they climb it."Vermalaen grunted in response. General Moto was uncomfortable handing her his troops, but he trusted Bastian so he nodded, giving his blessing."Both Sula and General Moto, select and take the most elite soldiers from both armies and make a second group. This group shall move in tandem with Tino

Every ten or so years Yani City would accept a new batch of mercenaries within their city. The unsuspecting mercenaries usually came from far away lands, so they had no clue regarding the tragedies that would befall them from the horde. On the Sovereign Continent, wars were as numerous as the stars in the night sky.Plenty of cities and countries would rely on mercenaries to deal with the problems that plagued the, with Yani city being no exception. The difference between the weak and strong however became apparent at this point, with the strong cites having strong home grown armies.Onismo York stood above a pile of daemon corpses.These were some of the birds that had made it over the wall. Onismo had stationed his men just behind the west and north side of the wall just in case the mercenaries were overwhelmed.The man was adorned in armour from head to toe while his right hand held a large battle axe that was far bigger than what his body should be able

Kitrid started breaking into a cold sweat, because Meera's point was quite valid. Best way to deal with a horde this size is to deal with the alpha. The problem was that in this case the alpha might be too strong for them to handle, so Kitrid was not sure how they were going to go about it."What is taking Tyson so long? The support he promised should be here by now" Kitrid was fighting on the east wall facing the south east direction from which the horde was coming from. Due to the fact that his troops faced the full brunt of the horde, the elder council had promised support. Tyson Cole represented the elders by giving his word that he would send reinforcement if they were in dire straits.At the moment they had lost thousands of men. Thousands more were injured and even more were to fall in battle if this were to continue. The birds in the sky and the beasts on the ground formed a perfect combination minimizing all the advantages Kitrid and his troops had. 

Bastian sat in the Cole family garden. It was a charming botanical wonder full of flowers Bastian had never seen before and well trimmed trees and hedges in neat little rows. Soon the plan would be put into action, and Bastian's mind had been racing. Several gardeners were tending to the maize of stunning flora. His clothes were fine and comfortable, provided by Tyson Cole while Bastian had been living under his house to prepare for the ensuing battle that was to come. His hair was growing again, in fact he found it grew quite quickly, but Bastian had become accustomed to keeping it short.He had been taking walks in Tyson Cole's garden more frequently in the past few days, choosing to seclude himself in meditative isolation as much as he possibly could, and he knew why. Since the deafening roar – no, that was too recent – since he had woken up in a foreign body in this foreign land and trapped with this foreign soul inside him that claimed to have become a

She regained her footing and prepared to fire again. The thunderbird was busy snapping at something. She realised it was one of her men that the alpha thunderbird must have snatched as it swept over the wall.A few more chomps and it swallowed, leaving a dismembered leg to fall limp to the ground. Meera conjured another bow and began firing arrow-lances like crazy. With amazing agility it dodged them all and returned for another bite.it was clear the alpha was faster and stronger than normal thunderbirds, but Meera kept firing. As it swept over the wall again it snatched up another soldier with its tremendous jaws and took another one in its talons. The soldier trapped in its talons was still alive and was struggling to get free. The alpha thunderbird simply squeezed and there was a crunching noise. The soldier stopped struggling. The talons released him and he fell limp all the way to the hard ground.The alpha thunderbird made another hundred and eighty degree
