"Huff. Huff." "Hey! You big chunk of meat. Look what you did to Coby!"A vein popped on Rex's head."What's wrong, little runt?"Reginald sneered. "Oh, don't tell me you actually thought your friend over there would win just because he could read minds." Rex widened his eyes as he gently lays Coby on the ground."Stay put." He said to the unconscious Mind reader as he looks at his other clanmate. "Deen! Look after him." Deen nodded as Rex turned his attention at Reginald. He points at him. "Sit tight and wait for me, you're next just as soon as I puy your oversized friend here in his place." "How are they so strong?"Rex had underestimated the Aegis clan. That had always been his issue in the first place.He lacks the intuition to scale a person's power. Even when he witnessed them take out a hundred relic beasts, he merely saw that as a team effort."Nonetheless, he beat up my clanmate and I intend to make him pay!"Rex walked into the ring to stand face to face against Vor
The main methods in harnessing ain were divided into three:Aura, the act of expunging one's own inner spirit. It is driven by emotions and several other mental factors. The stronger the mentality of the person using aura, the stronger the aura they can control. Aura is the hardest method to be used as only a few could harness this power, some are only able to create objects using their aura others could go as far as to make their aura intensify around them to the extent that relics lose their powers temporarily. The next method is doping which is further divided into three. In speed doping, the user gathers most of his/her ain to boost their reflexes and movement speed. The stronger the ain of the user, the faster they can go. In hard doping, the user hardens their very skin to tank powerful attacks with ease. Some even go further to combine hard doping and power doping to create powerful attacks. Power doping boosts the attack power of the user. The final method and the most
"You get one chance to give me your all. I'm guessing that's all you can muster before you run out of ain.""You bastard... Just wait and see how I roast your ass like a marshmallow!" "Haha. Bring it on, Rex."Ace not fazed by the intensifying heat surrounding him summoned his shadow daggers once again.The two both scurried back to ready their final attack. "If you're going to go all out, so will I!" Ace's aura flared up till it touched the ceiling of the stadium. The people having match-ups in the other arenas paused their battles due to the extreme heat as they all focused their attention on the source. "S-so much power!" "He's standing right next to him and he seems unaffected by this scorching heat.""Move aside I'm going to record this." Even the audience had gathered around the empty seats where the other Aegises were. "Rex is fired up... Literally," Maggie said. "What do you expect? He's facing the Demon spawn." Reginald basked at the blazing aura surrounding Rex and
"Ahh!" Ace exclaimed as he slams a cup on a table. "Man this smoothy is good!" The crew was currently in the cafeteria section of the tower. Having destroyed most parts of the battle dome due to the collision of their powerful attacks, Ace, Rex and their respective clanmates made their way to a cafeteria for lunch. Vorus was devouring towers of food without a second's rest."Ace." "Yeah?" "Here." Rex kept a big bag on the table and pushed it as it slid towards Ace. "Huh?" Ace opens the back and was slightly blinded by the glittering sparkles of the object inside. The others peered a look as well as they all dropped their jaws. "It's an ain crystal!" "I don't understand." Ace faced the red-haired teen. "The match might have ended in a draw based on a technicality, but I still can't shake the fact that I lost. And as such, a bargain is a bargain."Rex folded his arms."Heh. The runt actually has a nice side in him. Who knew?" Reginald mocked with a smile. A vein popped on th
It has been a day since the battle on the Aegis clan's ark, the Dragonheart. "We just got back from the doc." Kaz and Ace walked in on the others.They all dropped whatever they were doing and focused on the two. Maggie and Conroy were looking healthy having taken the antidote Ace gave them. "Vorus is going to be out for a while longer." "Great," Reginald says. "Our ark's busted and the big guy is out of commission." "The Vagrant games start in a few days. How are we ever going to get ready by then?" "About that..." Kaz intervenes as he looks at Ernie who nods his head. "I can't come with you guys." "I figured you'd say that." Ace places his hand on Kaz's shoulder. "I pulled you two away from your tasks with the base."The Vice-Captain shakes his head. "That's not it, Ace. Ernie covered a lot while I was helping you guys with the whole Rada Khan thing. We finished up the base."The Aegises faces lit up having received the good news from their teammates. However, their jubila
"Alright kid, show me what you got." "Kill Switch!" Harold effortlessly blew the aura attack away with his dark aura hands. Ace gritted his teeth. "Nothing's happening." His frustration was evident to his friends. They were currently at the arena that Ace had fought Elder Bari on earlier. Ace was receiving training from Harold on how to harness his elemental aura. "As much as I hate to admit it," Said Reginald who was sitting in the middle of Kaz and Jacob. "Seeing how the demon spawn is struggling to unlock his element makes respect the historian and that shorty for unlocking theirs a bit.""Wow." Said Kaz. "Who knew you could make compliments...""I know right?" Reginald asks. "I feel like throwing up." Ace had been following Harold's guide to unlocking his element. "Close your eyes, and try and sense all the shadows around you." Some people unlock their elements easily and at a young age, others have to go through various training to reach that level. Ace took a deep breath
The location was the ark of the Aegis clan, the Dragonheart. Ernie was currently humming as he worked on the engine of the ark. "There," He dusts his hands. "With the new narly tweaks I placed, You peeps don't have to worry about this beauty breaking anytime soon." He gave Conroy a thumbs up. "That's great Bro Ernie!" "And with that, I'm done fixing the ark, it's good to go and so are we!" "About that... Where do go from here?"It has been 2 days since Ace and Reginald accompanied Kaz to see the elders. Vorus had awakened a day ago and the ark's repairs were completed. Ernie had finished the repairs ahead of time and even went an extra step to add a couple of upgrades. For starters, the Dragonheart lacked any cannons for battles against other Arks. Although these battles rarely occur in the Western Continent, Ernie warned the crew that the Eastern Continent is a place more brutal than where they came from. "That's where you met Sirs Kaz and Ace." Says Conroy as they arrived at
"Seth."Inside a white room of infinite space, Ace was standing in front of a cloaked figure."Where am I? Who are you!?" The figure in front of him had the shape of a woman, her long black hair could not be kept hidden in the cloak. "I'm disappointed..." Said the cloaked woman. "You don't recognize my voice anymore." Ace's eyes widened as he gasped. "It can't be..."The woman removed her cloak to reveal pale and smooth skin and a pair of dark blue eyes. In short, she was extremely beautiful and any man would lose their mind gazing at her beauty. However, Ace didn't gaze at the woman with the lust that most men would.His eyes became teary in an instant as he runs to the woman and embraces her. "Mother..." The woman smiled as she pets her son's head. "How are your brothers doing?" Ace had dug his head on the woman's chest. "Is this just a dream or are you real?" "It's both, beloved. I've been trying to reach you all this time.""Mom, it's really you! I'm sorry we couldn't sa
