Bewildered by Fury's unusual order, the waiter proceeded to clean up the table and make use of an alloy smoothener to erase the dent on it. Meanwhile, Rodrick who was motioned to by Fury to follow after him was stunned into silence. Why was he suddenly called by someone who could even slay a domain ruler? With Fury's unusual temper, it wouldn't be surprising if he ended up as a kind of kitchen punching bag or worse, a practice dummy on the art of slicing and dicing advanced mutated fishes. Just the thought of such a thing happening was enough to cause shivers to run down his spine. The only thing that consoled him somewhat was that such a thing was not realistic. The only disturbing thought he had was whether Cooking Fury had a weird fetish he performed on people he disliked. Staring at the unfamiliar back as he entered the kitchen, Rodrick gulped silently. He could hear the heavy sounds of meat being chopped into huge chunks. The cacophony of noises stunned him a little and gave him

“Heavenly food court?“ Rodrick looked stunned and confused. “What kind of messed up name is that anyway?“ Rodrick shook his head with a smile. If heaven was real doesn't that mean he was dead? As this thought came into his mind, Rodrick paused in horror, wait a minute! was he dead? All his life, the descriptions of heaven by those who called themselves believers was a place full of white clouds and white garments and…….Why was he even thinking about all those anyway? The real deal was still in front of him. Was it the real deal or real food? All foods were real just that this one was a bit unrealistic. Wait! why was he even thinking about realistic and unrealistic food in the first place? Shit! Was this how dead people behave? No way!From a third person's perspective, Rodrick's face was changing very fast in different ways, with all his emotions overflowing, he displayed the attitude of someone close to running mad from thinking.Suddenly, Rodrick felt a cooling sensation spread from

Rodrick's mind echoed with the word "Mother," revealing a profound connection buried within his emotions. The mysterious woman before him transformed, and he found himself staring into the eyes of someone who resembled his long-lost mother.A flood of memories surged through Rodrick's consciousness, unlocking the gates of a past he had almost forgotten. His mother's face, her warm embrace, and the sound of her laughter echoed in the depths of his mind. Overwhelmed by emotions, Rodrick struggled to maintain composure in this surreal space.The woman spoke, her voice a soothing melody that resonated within Rodrick's being. "My son, you have embarked on a journey far beyond the realms of ordinary existence. The ancient blood booster you ingested has opened the gateway to the ethereal, connecting you to the forgotten roots of our lineage."As the revelation unfolded, Rodrick's eyes widened with astonishment. His mother explained the existence of a hidden legacy, a lineage of guardians wit

Blade awoke the next morning in the tranquil confines of his room, the events of the previous day still fresh in his mind. But as usual, he decides to just stare at the ceiling without any specific thought in mind. He was just thinking about random ridiculous things that he wouldn't remember anymore by the next minute.After some time, he stood up with a yawn, a rather long one considering the fact that his mouth was still open all the way from his bed to the window. When Blade got to the window his eyes searched through the streets and unconsciously wandered in the direction of the Degoserind's smashing punishment. Thinking of his friend's badluck caused a hint of smile to show up on his lips.Surprisingly, the wall was back to New! Well, what did he expect from someone as rich as the Magnetic Devil. Speaking of which, Blade's eyebrow curved in a rarely seen worried expression.“Where's that guy?““Well, I guess he could take care of himself, just hope he's not done some crazy things

Blade stood there, bewildered, as Imelda turned away from him, her tears creating a glistening spectacle in the morning sunlight.“All of you humans are pathetic” She continuedKnowing that she had more to say, Blade sat down adjacent to her and remained silent rompting Imelda to look at him for a brief moment before turning away.“Our meeting was not a coincidence. I have every reason to believe that everything was arranged because I was also sent to get something from that underground tunnel” Instead of continuing with her sentennce, she diverged a bit.“I guessed as much because there is just a one percent chance of meeting your kind out there” Blade spoke.“I heard about Degoserinds but I know that they are rarely seen. When I met you, I considered it my bad luck because meeting creatures with high mental resilience is not easy but the weird thing about everything is that I defeated you.“ Blade said with a very serious frown on his face.“Let me guess…” Imelda started. “You are sh
