SCREEEEEEECH!!!!!!…An eerily terrifying sound resounded throughout the Wilderness and the neighbouring human territories. It sounded like a mixture of a howling wolf, a bellowing bull and the screaming banshee. It was creepy and scary to any who heard it, making their hairs stand on ends or scared one to the point of having a panic attack. “W-what's that sound?! What kind of monster makes such creepy sounds!” an explorer said. Yes, there was an explorer profession. A job fraught with danger but also wealth and opportunities as well as new discoveries. As the name implies, explorers were hired for explorations, whether it was a tomb, a ruin, ancient civilisation, treasure hunting, they did it all.And this team right here was one of the best if not the best already, the Noradora Explorers. This time, they were hired to find a treasure hidden in the desert landscape or the Zahara Desert. An insane amount of money has been deposited for this transaction so they were doing their best
SCREEEEEEECH!!!!The screech sounded even within these dangerous lands. A place with trees never before explored, the trees of ink black bark and leaves. Trees with only one long root instead of many piercing deep into the ground, these trees also released black dew that looked like the most toxic poison. This place hadn't insects or birds or at least they didn't make noise if they lived here because the place was completely silent, like a graveyard. This was one of the Taboo Lands not explored by humans, Black Forest. The deeper one went, the bigger the trees were. Even here in the outskirts of this place, these trees were very big compared to normal trees. A tree here would require five people to hug it. And in the centre of this place were extremely huge trees. They weren't tall but huge. Each of the trees here had a seemingly simple wooden door and a small window. The ground was paved with stones. The architect was simple yet beautiful, a very beautiful village-like place. When
Of all the Taboo Lands, this one was the most dangerous. Everything alive that entered this place died instantly. Some explorers had even watched as their partners died right in front of their eyes before they too died from the same attack. Redmist Swirlings was the name of this Taboo Land and it was given this name because of the red mini tornados that swirled calmly within the area. There were so many tiny red tornados that scientists had once tried to study this phenomenon but unfortunately they were wiped out before they could even do anything. When one entered within range of the small tornados, the tornados would chase after them, devour their Essence and leave a dry corpse behind that turned into dust with a slight touch. There was also one big red tornado, even though it wasn't as big as a natural disaster tornado, it was pretty big. If one could travel freely in this place, they'd be able to see a massive hole on the ground where the big tornado was or rather where the big
Drooooom!!!Hearing the name, the seven threw away the table and chairs to the side before quickly kneeling in front of the little boy, their eyes filled with shock, fear and reverence as they greeted the boy with utmost respect. “Craving greets Supreme Demon Greed!”“Ego greets Supreme Demon Greed!”“Lazy greets Supreme Demon Greed!”“Eros greets Supreme Demon Greed!”“Rage greets Supreme Demon Greed!”“Raven greets Supreme Demon Greed!”“Enmity greets Supreme Demon Greed!”The young boy smiled in elation, especially when he looked at the old monk. His eyes were filled with longing for some reason. “Raise your heads. Not bad, boy, you chose quite a good host for yourself. It must have been difficult to possess this stupid baldy right!” said Greed. “Thank you for your praise, Supreme Demon Greed. It is all thanks to your inheritance that I managed to possess him.” answered Craving. “Oh Greed. Even after all these years, you still haven't changed a bit. You're even greedy for the b
In the human territories, there existed a place extremely special from the rest of the world. A mixture of both the ancient era and the current era. On one hand was a completely primitive and old eastern style infrastructure and on the other hand was the modern infrastructure of western style. The eastern style consisted of caves and mountains, unpaved roads and uncut grass. Tall pagodas, Inns, temples and mountain wooden houses were built. Tall walls and imperial buildings were built. In the western style, palaces, skyscrapers that reached above the clouds, hotels and restaurant establishments, malls, cars, and paved roads.These two completely different lifestyles came together to create City A, or what others liked to call it, the City Of Dreams. The Spirit Qi of this place was very abundant, pure and dense, it was probably due to the Dragon Vein deep underground that this place was a haven for cultivation. And obtaining this place wasn't easy, humanity had to sacrifice a lot in
The leaders who had just left the meeting room returned one by one. Silas hadn't left yet so they didn't need to call for him. The leaders sat on their designated seats with pale expressions as if they've just seen a ghost. “What's wrong?” asked Silas. “It's bad, Silas. It's really bad.” answered the lady of the Rothschild. She had silver curled hair, blue eyes and pinkish white beautiful skin. She was a gorgeous lady with a mature lady aura.“What happened?” asked Silas.“Attacks! We're being attacked from all sides! Our enemies are expected to arrive at noon tomorrow. The Wilderness, Black Forest, Demon Valley and Red Tornado are coming for us from all directions. In just a few hours, we'll be completely surrounded. We are fucked! Completely fucked!” answered Morgan Patriarch.“Are they coming here specifically for us or is there something that's attracting them here..?” muttered Silas softly. He seemed to be speaking to himself because he didn't even wait for anyone's response an
“We juniors have come to seek advice from the elders, war is imminent and we're afraid that the decisions we make might not be the correct ones. Before being patriarchs of our respective clans, we are first clansmen before being patriarchs. Whatever we do, it's always in the best interests of our clansmen, our clans are our top priorities.” spoke Song Fang humbly. [You speak quite eloquently and thoughtfully. Your every word is well thought out, perfectly used in your sentences to paint a picture of your dilemma but that's just a wait of time. And from what I've deduced, you don't have much of it so just go straight to the point.] said the ancient voice, he or she hadn't emerged from the pool.“I understand. A great war is about to ensue and we juniors don't know which side to pick, the human side or the other side. Three old witches came…”[Witches? How old were they exactly?] interested in the ancient voice. “I-I'm not sure but they were extremely old, skinny bodies with skin as d
Earth Technique: Earth Spikes!][Water Technique: Roaring Wave!][Wind Technique: Raging Tornado!][Fire Technique: Volcanic Eruption!]Booooooom!!!!…The barrier was bombarded with all kinds of techniques but all these attacks didn't do much damage to it. Instead, all they caused to the barrier was just ripples that spread along the barrier before disappearing like nothing happened. [Again! Don't hold anything back and unleash your full power!][Earth Technique: Earth Spikes!][Water Technique: Roaring Wave!][Wind Technique: Raging Tornado!][Fire Technique: Volcanic Eruption!]Everyone cast their techniques again, this time more powerful than the first round, the combined power of these techniques caused the air to whistle but something unexpected happened when these techniques were about to bombard the barrier for the second time. [Earth Technique: Earth Wall!]A massive wall as big and majestic as a mountain rose from the ground and blocked all the techniques aimed at the barr
