Clank! Boom! Boom! Swoosh!The location was the palace room within the Castle of Black Skull Island.A large muscular man standing seven feet tall was exchanging blows with Shuntal."Those two have been at it for five days now."Shuntal uses his speed to his advantage as he does not dodges a couple of straight jabs from the large man."Neither side looks as if they are ready to cave in.""Shuntal...win...for...vex."The man fighting Shuntal was none other than Don Barbaros.Shuntal flips over Barbaros and kicks him on the face. Unfazed, Barbaros grabs the leg of the Saint and slams him hard on the ground creating a man-sized hole in the process."Hahahaha." Jester laughs as he pauses to slurp down the juice he was carrying.Shuntal's broken bones healed almost instantly as he got back up.He was using the healing powers of the bird to rejuvenate.He pats Barbaros who had turned away.As the large man turned his head, Shuntal struck him with a palm imbued with his explosive aura sendin
It has been a couple of days since Rohan ascended the throne of Cronoa as its new king. Rohan is currently addressing the citizens as Rhea and the Enders were standing behind him. I, Rohan Khan, swear to serve you all with all my might! Through thick and thin till I bring this Nation back to its feet."He went silent to examine the expressions on the faces of all the people that had gathered around the castle. Rohan was nervous, he had never given a speech in his life. He coughs and continues... "I know, me ascending to the throne was because of a coup that followed a dreadful reign from a tyrant who got into power due to a coup of his own." At first, the majority were skeptical in accepting Rohan as the new King. For some, it was since he was related to the man that took the throne from the former king and nearly destroyed the Region. Others merely wanted to take the throne for themselves. They were the lords and nobles or relatives of the royal family. A minority of those f
*The"Of all the places you can choose to die, you chose the top of a wild beast?"Ace and Keith landed on top of the shadow dragon that was carrying Stark. "Who said anything about dying?" Keith retorted. "We're putting an end to this madness, you've gone too far father." "Father?" Stark scoffed. "Ungrateful fools like you have no right to call me father." The twins gritted their teeth. "Ready?" Ace asked not taking his eyes off theur father. "No," Keith replied calmy. "But then again who can actually get ready to take on the world's greatest assasin on the top of a dragon?" "Hehe, you're right I guess." The two smiled. Ace having received a shadow thanks to Reginald, created a pair of shadow daggers. Keith followed suit making a pair with his miasma. "And now, for the extra touch." The ex-assasin smiled. He coated the shadow daggers with hus dark aura making them larger by a little. "Not fair..." Keith pouted making the ex-assasin to laugh sheepishly. Stark remained unfa
The just-risen sun shone softly on the city streets, bringing with it a flurry of early-morning activity."It's nice to see things getting back in order around here."Vorus smiled as he waves at the citizens of the Kondo District. He was pleased to see the smiling faces of the ever so hardworking people.The Aegises were currently taking a stroll through the streets of the city."What's nicer is that everything is behind us now," Conroy added. "Khan and Jester are no more, I and Sir Vorus had personally handpicked a replacement for the post of District commanders.Vorus nodded. "Yeah, they're trustworthy and honest people too who promised to help in rebuilding the districts.""I was worried you two might decide to stay. Especially you, Conroy. Well with the letter and all." Ace said with a faint smile.The two looked at each other and turned to address their captain."Just because I'm away doesn't mean I can't keep tabs on Kondo. I asked the new District commander that will arrive to
""And that, my friends was how Ace and I met." Ernie finished his narration to his clanmates. They were currently taking a stroll on the streets of Border Town. "Wow," said Conroy. "Sir Ace learned a lot from you and Sir Kaz."Yep, Kaz always saw the good in him. Being an assassin may have been his birthright, but it wasn't his calling." "You inspired the captain to go on an adventure!" Vorus exclaims. "Vorus are you crying?" Maggie asks. "What? No!" The former district commander refuted. I was just thinking of all the training I have to do, there were so many that I started sweating before I even got the chance to train. "Right." She rolls her eyes. "Anyway, shouldn't we get back to the Ark?" She asks. "In case of Ace calls, we left all our phones there you know." Ernie places his arm around the historian's neck. "Relax, Master. I can call you Magster right?" "I uh.." "Great! You don't have to worry about Ace, Kaz, and what's his name. They're in capable hands and will look
The location was the deck of the Dragonheart."Finally!"Ace throws his hands into the sky."We can get back to our adventures.""For once, I actually don't mind going into a crypt. It's much better than fighting a war.""What's our destination, Sir Ace? I'll input the coordinates into the Ark's navigational system.""Let's see..." Ace pulls out a paper that had the list containing the locations of the twelve zodiac crypts."Our next destination is a place right outside of Kirivard. We're going to Gr-"Before he could finish."Grim Forest. Also known as the forest of eternal night."Maggie finished for him as they all looked at her."What? I memorized all the locations of the twelve zodiac crypts."She went on to show them a page on her journal that had a list identical to the one Ace was carrying.Ace laughs this off as he nods."That's right, Grim Forest is our next stop!"Conroy tugs at the coat of the ex-assassin. "Si-sir Ace, do we have to go to such a place?"He was shaking extr
Kaz had made his way back to the Carriage given to him by Vorus.He made a stop at Black Seed Market to clarify certain things about Jester."Honestly though. How strong are the dons? If we had faced the original Jester...""Oy! Where do you think you're going?""I can ask you the same thing."Kaz looked at Adacus who was carrying his luggage around his back."I meant, where do you think you're going without me?"Kaz tilted his head."Huh?""You're returning to the Eastern Continent are you not?"Kaz nods."Good, take me with you.""As much as I hate going there, I have to report my findings to those old fossils."The two rode off.Meanwhile..."Ahhhh!""Sir Ace, do something!""Guys... Hold on!"The Dragon Heart was descended at a fastening rate as a red alarm beebs on the deck."Brace yourselves!"Reginald was chewing his fingers as Maggie and Conroy clutched each other in fright. Ace was struggling to steer the Ark to a safe spot for a crash landing.Boom! Thud!Leaving a crater of
"This place has everything!" Ace exclaimed as he and Vorus were awestruck after arriving at the battle dome. It was a section of the tower. A stadium with all sorts of fields for combat. "Those two seemed to have forgotten why we came here in the first place." Reginald face-palmed.Rex walked up to the bunch. "Hey!" Reginald and Maggie gave a murderous stare to the man as he flinched a little. "Tck. I'll make you bastards pay, just wait." "Move aside you wannabes. I'm here to speak with that guy." He points at Ace. "Captain to Captain." "What did you just say?" Reginald rolls up his sleeves as Rex finished. "It's okay Regi."Ace walked up to Rex. "So, how may I help you?" "I take it you fancy this here battle dome... Want to compete with us in a 3 on 3 fight?""What's this runt up to?" Reginald could smell something fishy going on. "Sure. Let's fight!" "Haha! I've been itching to duke it out with someone here." Vorus chimed in on the conversation. Rex led them to one
