Meanwhile, minutes had passed and already the crowd had thinned out considerably. They were not in the same location as before being that they had walked quite some distance. Distance that Bayo had failed to take note because of the crowd about then. However now, they walked into a bunker of sorts, moving down the sloping pavement as were the few others too.At the bottom of it, Bayo took a cursory look about. He noticed the sturdy steel walls that formed the walls of the bunker, the stone paved road below his paws and also taking notes of some patrolling Adzes guards in their usual leather armor. They took the first right turn, branching off the previous path into another path that has sand and loose earth here and there, mostly red in color.They walked for a couple more meters, Granin and Tangera nodding here and there in greeting to the passing Adzes around her. Soon after another branching off again, they got into an area whe

It was taking like forever for Tangera to return already. So much that Bayo frowned in unease.Had he been harsh on her?!He didn't know. Indeed, he could not find a reason as to why he was harsh or if he was harsh at all. The past events had been one that had taken quite the toll on him, mentally so it was only natural that he would act out of instincts.Preservational Instincts.So far, so good, his life has only been on the run. From one thing to another thing, he was always running.But this time, he was stuck in one place where he could not just bail. Not with the cell walls around him. Even though it would seem treacherous for him to do so, Bayo heaved, he would have still done so.Right now, he was just sitting ducks for whoever came his way.Perhaps, he should have bailed when he had the chance and was not confined to the walls of this cell.The fact that he was in a contest where he would have to resort to bestial livi

"Why are you looking at it?" Tangera asked suspiciously."Isn't it obvious? That is one of the sentient beasts. The sooner it can get killed, the easier it is to shake off those Beastkins." Granin said, shrugging. "It just has to die.""Then... What about the Shadow Spider and that Manticore?" Tangera asked."Those ones can be settled but this is what Management wants." Granin replied rather coldly."No… no" Tangera frowned, shaking her head slowly at the ground as she took a couple of steps backwards away from Granin. "it's not me who is making these changes, you know?So, try not to hate me, Tangera, okay?" Granin's face softened with a sigh. "I know how this is important to you being a trainer… But this is way above me, honestly. Lord Aiko is pulling all this strings himself and there is only nothing I can do as regards that." Granin said, taking a couple of steps towards her. "That is why I am even sifting these info to you.

Lord Aiko sniffed in the air, wearing a grey bathrobe that dropped to his feet with the straps tied to his waist. As usual, the atmosphere is dark, a noticeable feature of the realms dominated by the Adzes. And as a result of their incomplete souls, these vampires are incapable in stepping out during Dawn time and throughout the day. In an attempt to solve this, they were able to infuse death energy into all their lands, bringing up a feel of the First Heaven into their place.As a result, demon waves that came down from the First Heaven, Orun Apaadi, naturally migrated through their realms. The vampires would do nothing most of the times. Actually all the time, encouraging the waves to pass through. However because of the fact that they were civilised of some sorts,they did not resort to entertaining their destructive tendencies whenever a new Icon arose.Today was however not one of those wave days. Rather, tonight, tonight, Lord Aiko had set the plans i

Bayo huffed, hearing the sounds of the metal rods retracting into the ground. His eyes widened, seeing the strange persons before him and just before he could think of anything, the spears with them hummed simultaneously as they thrust it forward.That same second, his senses tilted, his sense of being constantly shifting from place to place. One moment, he was walking on his paws, the other moment he was floating in the air.His insides hurt, almost as if something was trying to bite its way out, all of these sensations making him limp in the physical.'Move it' A voice had spoken and strangely, he felt some warmth from this voice.Not warmth per say. It was more of a threatening chill that told him that the only way out of all the aches he felt was through obeying the voice.And so, in obedience, he moved his form, walking before the vampires with their spears angled at the opposite sides of the neck in such a way that the vampires were behind hi
