"Reed..." Ace looked to his brother."Brother." Said Keith.Reed's gaze waa locked at Stark. He silently walked past them to stand face-to-face with the phantom lord. "You're back. Now, punish these traitors." He pointed at Ace and Keith. The two widened their eyes. "Reed! You don't have to listen to him." "Is this the path that you have chosen?"Reed turned to face his brothers. He darts them a look that could very much kill. "I've decided... I'm going to kill you!"Reed's dagger flashed. Clank! "What do you think you're doing, boy?" Stark blocked Reed's dagger with his fingers. Reed used his ability to turn himself invisible. He appeared a few moments later in front of his brothers."Reed...""Brother...""Seth, Keith. I've been a bad older brother haven't I?" "Fools." Stark snarled. "You dare go against your maker?"The trio readied their daggers. "Here," Keith hands Reed a miasma dagger and creates another one to replace it. They were now all holding 2 daggers each. Th
"Black Guillotine!" Ace used his strongest attack to attack Jester as Reginald and the Saints watched the mad clown get encased in the explosion of the massive slash attack."Is that it?" Asked Reginald. "I'm afraid not, lad." The dust clears and Jester remains standing although he had suffered considerable damage from the attack. He held his shoulder as his clones gathered around him. "These are your super clones?""The boy who barely killed one of my fingers has developed this much?" Jester didn't bat an eye away from Ace. He can share the same memories as his clones, so he recalls all the events that transpired with his clone that fought beside Rada Khan. "Harold," Ace looked at the Dark Saint. "Can I count on you and Jacob to take care of these clones? I want Jester myself." The two Saints nod their heads as the four clones divided themselves and approached them. "Kisha!" Harold called out to the Sloth Saint. "Elders Ram and Bari are in the rehabilitation room, you have
The thunderous cheers of the crowd shook the colosseum."Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Vagrant games!" The announcer's words made the crowd cheer louder. "We've so far witnessed several intense matches. But I promise you, it'll only get more fierce from here onwards."Meanwhile, the Aegises were gathered around Maggie.She was still unconscious but her casts were removed."She's in a stable condition now and may wake up soon." They all sighed in relief hearing the report of the doctor.He gestured to a big screen behind him. "We got this placed in case you wouldn't want to miss the matches.""Narly, now we can cheer you guys on and watch over Mags!" Ernie exclaims. "Thank you." Ace thanked the doctor. "It is our pleasure. By the way, I'm also rooting for you, I'm a huge fan." His words made the ex-assassin smile. "Right," Ernie wraps his arm over the necks of Ace and Vorus. "You too get over there and knock em out of their pants." "You don't have to worry about Magg
"You didn't have to go that far." Tommaso had returned to his room where he was met with the sight of Keith. "I thought you weren't coming till after your match?" "Don't change the subject!" Keith snapped at Tommaso. "Watch how you address me. I'm the captain here." "Pfft. Have you forgotten that I'm merely a part of your clan for conditional reasons? We're here to win the access codes." "Yeah yeah but that doesn't change the fact that I'm thr boss around here." Tommaso brushes off Keith's shoulder and made his way to the bed. He sat down and clutches his hands. His body was shaking excessively as he lowers his head. "That girl was stupid enough to awaken my taste for blood.""You almost killed her. As much as I love a good showing of brutality, that would have disqualified you." "You think your brother would just sit by and let me kill his clan mate? I thought you knew him better than that given that you two are twins." Keith clicked his tongue. "If I was you, I'd be worri

"Finally!" Ryker exclaimed as he spreads his arms apart. "I can breathe fresh air again!"He, Jackal and Zera have made their way back to the Black Stallion."Well?" Jackal turned to the vampire. "What do you think of Stally?" He asked with a grin as he puffs out his chest.Zera scans the cruiser momentarily before setting her gaze back to its captain. "She's as vibrant as ever." She remarked with a smile.Ryker wore a stoic expression as he glances at the two. 'Why are they talking as if the cruiser is a living thing?'Just then, Ming approached them."Ming..." Zera said in a cold tone.Ryker felt a chill run down his spine. She gave off the same vibe as earlier when they met. The look was aimed at the android yet he felt restless."Zera..." Ming responded in a similar manner."I see Jackie still hasn't taken you for recycling.""I see you're still trying to pass off as a young and beautiful woman despite being an old hag."A vein popped on the vampire's head. Zera gritted her teeth
"Hahaha!" Vorus bursts into laughter. "Amazing! You developed the mantra ability." "I've leveled up too, Sir Vorus." "Nevertheless, this match is mine for the taking... Blue Boomerang." Vorus hauls his hammer at the archer. Conroy stood unfazed as he stretches his hand forward. "Impossible!" Vorus grasped. Everyone in the colosseum began to mutter over the sight that they beheld. Conroy halted the hammer with one hand. "How?" "This is the power of mantra!" The mantra is a technique that is developed by chanting weird phrases as markings began to emerge on his body.These markings grant the user the ability to drain the ain of non-living components, these include the ain of strongly focused ain attacks, thus weakening them in the process."With the mantra, every attack that comes from the power of a relic or coated by aura is rendered nearly useless." Vorus already knew that mantra drains the ain of all ain-based attacks. But what he didn't know was that it could render a r
