“Hello everyone!”
‘That is not right,’ David felt awkward, it was his first time speaking like this.
He knew there was fear in them, and most of them were looking at him with fear. He realised this was the same panic and fear he saw from his people, the day he lost everything.
In a moment, his memories rushed back to the flaming village where he lay in pain, hoping to get up and help his wife who was crying by his side. He remembered the endless cries of Arya.
The memories of burning flesh, screams of fear and pain made him feel defenceless. He had buried these memories deep in his heart. The looks on these people brought them back to the surface. He felt he was one of those murderers who came to ruin the lives of these people.
“Why do you sound sad?”Mila was waiting to ask this for a while.She couldn’t do it because Arya always had a lot to tell her father. She would spend her time playing with the children, and at night, she would spend reading books with her. Mila was happy, Arya had a fulfilling day, and she had a lot to tell David about her little adventures and the city.“Today, I think a lot about our village.”Mila was about to speak when she heard David’s answer. She felt the pain in his voice. It was something even she was sad about. Mila felt there was something stuck in her throat.It has been years since that incident, but she could remember it as if it happened a day a
Adam looked at the strange mark on his arm.There was a mark that looked like, ‘three leaves,’ below his wrist. This resulted from the Blood Bond spell. Mr Thomas finally cast it successfully. However, after completing the spell, Mr Thomas fainted. Only after about an hour, he woke up. Even after that, he went back to sleep.Adam checked him to see if it had done any damages to Mr Thomas, but he realised it was just exhaustion from casting the spell. It was enough for him to realise that the Blood Bond spell was powerful enough even to drain out a 9th tier magician.However, other than this strange mark that appeared on his and King Rothgar’s hands, there was no notable effect on them.Preparation for the spell was not very hard. They
“How are the arrangements?”“I am confident about the guards, lord Adam,”Alex looked at Carl, who was answering with the utmost respect.He knew Carl was happy with his new weapon; the weapon forged by brother Adam. He had seen several dwarven weapons, but this one-handed sword was in another quality compared to them. If there was anything better, then that was the reforged sword of brother Adam. He saw this when they came from the West Coast City, but now that two-handed sword was unrecognisable.He wondered if the Empress would be happy to see the changes happening to the weapon given by her. However, he knew better than to ask. No one knew brother Adam more than the Empress, and she should already know this too.&n
“We need to prepare the farmlands first.”“Farmlands? Your Majesty, we don’t have water yet.”‘Wait, sister, why do you need farmlands?’ Jane tried her best to figure out what Elena was thinking.This was not what she expected to hear from the morning court. She was here to attend it because of the upcoming events. Besides, their father already agreed that she should move with Elena to the West Coast city.There were two things she noticed from her little sister for the past couple of weeks. One thing was, Elena’s face was always filled with pride.Jane had to admit Elena had all the right to be proud. Ten thousand people made of seven thousand dwar
“This is the High Pass mountain? So boring, there is nothing scary as they say.”Thomas shook his head, listening to Shana. He was too satisfied with everything to argue with their princess.Their princess had many friends now. He could hear the cheerful laughter from the carriage. Granddaughter of Ryan, Cathay. Cat tribe girl Cana and young master Alex. The latter was not among them anymore. Because Alex had his own section of the caravan to protect, and he was happy that the young magician handled it well.With the other two girls and the relaxing, comfortable atmosphere, the little princess seemed to be thrilled. He was content that these people accompanied her during their time in the dwarven city too. Because of that, he managed to focus on many important things without being worri
“Lord Adam, how many days before we arrived at the Crimson Empire?”“I think, we can arrive in five days,”Adam answered prince Lohar, looking at the rough map in front of them.They finally left the High pass mountain a day ago. Adam felt satisfied with everything that had happened so far. He had to spend two days negotiating with different dire wolf packs to ensure the safety of the journey. Still, it was totally worth the effort he had to put.With the help of those dire wolves, he found the path they travelled this far. Even though they still had to use ground moles to clear the way and settle the ground, the workload was much less compared to the previous path they chose. Without the help of These dire wolves, he would
Adam merged into the Shadows of the night, hiding from the world.This was the first time he used Shadow concealment since the last time during their time in the High pass mountain.‘This is weird,’ Adam thought, feeling the power.His affinity with Shadows showed a significant improvement, making Adam wonder if this resulted from absorbing the spell. Back at the High pass mountain, he was too busy to pay attention to his powers. There was too much important information, and Zafira was troubling his thoughts.Now he had the quietness of the wilderness to feel the power of the shadows concealing him from the world. He understood he was using much less mental strength while concealing himself using the Shadows.
“What should we do, Lord Adam?”‘Sigh,’ Adam fell into thought.He didn’t know what to say. Since he had no other choice, he acted as calmly as possible when he told their situation to the others.This 10th tier scout was a heavy disadvantage for him. He had advance tracking, but he failed to notice the man. That was because he didn’t look at the treetops.He never imagined his enemy would travel over his head. Even if someone observed them from a tree, he expected them to travel on the ground. Now that he knew his enemy, he could feel his scent far above their heads. Even if he knew this man would come, the best he could do was to keep track of his movements. Even if they all attacked together, it was just a useless hope t
“Amazing.”Despite her words, the older girl saw several teardrops in the eyes of her little sister, and she didn’t say anything about that. The story was sweet and sour. She picked her up and held her against her chest. Their mother and father were talking with some other families in the distance. Many pilgrims and worshipers walked around them, and some were telling the same story as her. It was the story of a legend. “That is the story of the Great Blood Wolf.” The older girl ended the story, holding her younger sister’s hand in front of the massive statue of their Grand Empress and Her Consort. The Blood Wolf. “Oh….” Her little sister looked elated, looking at the massive statue of the couple. The greatest rulers of the world. She knew her sister would ask about this story again and again, but she was happy to see her little tail swinging in excitement. “Are you happy?” “Yes. I am very happy. I want to be as strong as the Grand Empress in the future.” “Of Course, you
“Grandfather?” The old man shook when he heard this call. He wanted to strangle this thing to death, but first, he needed an answer. “Why did you do that? Why did you kill my Grandson?” His face looked tired and battered. Time was not a concept for him, and he hoped to see his Grandchild someday. He came here because he almost felt the presence of his little boy. However, it wasn’t him. He looked at Chaos. He remembered the day when he first saw the two-headed infant drifting across the universe. Their first meeting wasn’t a good one. The first time he met him, this kid attacked him and even injured him. However, he treated Chaos as a child and even adopted him into the family. He grew up together with his only Grandson. They were great friends and family. His Grandson never treated Chaos badly. That was the reason he permitted Chaos to go with his Grandson when he left to become the first Guardian of the universe. He was the one who even granted this power to his Grandson on
Adam crashed onto the ground with full force. He didn’t want to slow down when he saw the hideous figure standing on the beach. He knew what it was. He gritted his teeth to ignore the head-splitting pain that came with the memories. He was finally looking at the nemesis of this world; Chaos. Adam wished he could end this thing with one blow. Because it was something that shouldn’t exist. He was betting the lives of too many people, and the life of the Empress. If he failed right now, he would fail the entire world forever. His punch landed inches away from his target, but that thing moved several metres away with ease. The ground shattered under his blow, and the foul stench of the chaos entered his nose. He finally understood why the world and Mahisha failed to access this ground. Because it was contaminated by Chaos. He already created armour around his body and coated his sword with the aura of the Abyss. He didn’t have a reason to drag this. ‘This is not going to be
“Still nothing, commander.” “What exactly is going on?” Morga Steelbeard was lost. Not in the sea, but in his own thoughts. After two long months in the sea, they finally found their destination. As the second fleet commander of the Crimson Empire, he had an army of his own. Although it was still not at the level of Sakura’s fleet with twelve warships and two supply ships; his seven-shipped fleet was the second powerhouse of the sea. The land was just ahead of them, but they failed to find anything even after searching for two days. The western continent looked desolate and abandoned. There were not even large animals. This was too alarming for him. They saw birds and small rodents, but nothing bigger than that. The forest looked untainted for generations. He didn’t even think about sending a landing party. The risk was too much. ‘What exactly is happening?’ They passed through the so-called barrier about a week back, and there was nothing in between the northern continent an
“We should leave!” “Yes, Your Majesty.” Adam smiled, looking at the Empress. He wondered how many changes she made within the day to the castle. “I changed the 12th floor entirely. You should go and see.” “I will, Your Majesty.” He was sure it would be a combination of blue, shades of blue, and some gold, white and silver, and more shades of blue. There was nothing more to think, but he knew way better than to voice it out. ‘It is a good thing I have Mahisha to help her.’ He wouldn’t get any time to train his powers if he had to change the Abyss castle by himself. He sometimes felt the Empress was playing with the castle because it could be changed based on her simple thoughts. He didn’t care much at all. As long as she was happy with it. When she came here for the first time, she had a lot of complaints about the dull colours and the bad choice of material. In the end, he had no choice but to let her handle the decorations and colours as she pleased. “Not now. We have
Adam moved fast and landed in the area he saw the camps. He simply nodded at the people who started greeting him,He already found Alex, and he didn’t seem to be alright. “My Lord!!”Adam nodded at David before entering the tent. Already, there were several healers around the bed, including Mila. ‘Not good.’He felt Alex’s breathing wasn’t stable. “What happened?”The people made way for him with ease.“My Lord. There seemed to be a weird poison.”“Poison?”He didn’t smell any poison, but he realised Alex was unstable. Someone had removed the clothes from his upper body. His veins could be seen on his chest and there was a back lump on his chest. The wound was gone, but he wasn't getting any better. “Hm… Divine power.”He didn’t expect the enemy to use such a weapon. If it was before, he would have had a hard time dealing with this, but not anymore. The divine power was just another source of power restricted to this world. Although it was the most powerful, it wasn’t powerful en
“Are you alright?”“Yes, Your Majesty.”Adam sat with the Empress, looking at the two girls playing on the beach.To him, knowing the truth didn’t hurt much. Rather, he felt relieved to know the truth. ‘Am I angry?’He couldn’t say no. He was angry. If he didn’t lose his father, things would have been much different for them. Maybe… Just Maybe… His mother could have survived. Of course, it would have changed many aspects of his life, including moving to the West Coast, but he wished his mother to be alive. However, knowing the Church of Light might be behind his father’s death didn’t sting as he thought it would. As for how he knew his father was dead; that was because of what he saw in the underground of the church. There were hundreds of dead bodies being held there, draining the liquids from the,He didn’t know what was the exact process, but he saw the so-called Life potion coming out of that facility. Besides, Helen confirmed this matter. ‘If not for Amy and Zafira, I would ha
“We have to run!” Oliver heard someone yelling, but he didn’t know what to do. “He followed the orders of the king, coming here to destroy the Summer Palace city. The reason was to simply buy them more time. According to the information they received, the army was led by the infamous three Generals of the Crimson Empire. Since the main army was already divided into three, there shouldn’t be enough power to fight against twenty 10th-tier powerhouses at the same time. Besides, the Crimson Empire army should have more than enough Dwarven machines to face them. However, there shouldn't be enough time to move them for a defensive battle or to mount them on a wall. In a sense, there was no way this city could stand against them. What really worried him was the results. They were doing all these things based on the assumption that the owner of the taboo name wasn’t as powerful as they said. However, he didn’t understand why they were underestimating the revenge of the Crimson Empi
Alex floated toward the north using his magic. He wasn’t as weak as he once was when he passed through the Summer Palace city long ago. However, it was a lie to say that he wasn’t afraid. Their original battle plan was to separate their enemies by attacking the different parts of the Blood Baron Kingdom at the same time. Also, by using a portion of their units and the help of the Kingdom of Boria, they should have been able to delay the reinforcements from the other five kingdoms. Lady Helen was to show herself at the Dwarven mountain to create a distraction and intimidation. That wasn’t all. He was the one that took out the enemy scouts near the borders of the Crimson Empire with ease. Then he asked for the help of Lady Helen to take on the Wind Hold city to prevent any news from leaking to the rest of the city. He knew their enemies would realise the threat once the army was divided and Lady Helen fortified the Dwarven mountain. It all went as they planned, but he realised h
