All is well until the third, and the last goblin suddenly went unnoticed. Invictus had to heighten his senses to locate the goblin within proximity. And so, the hair at the back of his neck stood up, which indicates a warning signal for danger.

Invictus' bloodshot eyes gleamed as he abruptly turned his head to the side, and his tight grip grabbed a hold of that grinning expression of the goblin.

"Krieee!"

The goblin was about to hit Invictus with his axe to free himself from his grip but was caught by Invictus' other hand, preventing his escape.

Squirming, struggling, doing whatever it could just to avoid what was about to come, the goblin even tried biting on Invictus' palm but it was to no avail. The monster's efforts were futile. Invictus does not intend on letting him go.

"Let me just take this for you."

He snatched the axe away from the goblin and used the monster's weapon on him, cleanly splitting him in half diagonally with a single s

    "You're finally chasing your dreams, Aeriel. I'm glad."Invictus couldn't be happier at the moment. They reached the border of Estaria and Doloria. Rahel and Aeriel will soon leave to live in Doloria, and Aeriel will fulfill her goals there."And here you are, about to stride in a quicksand where your chance of survival is nigh.""Ah, are we gonna start this again before we part ways?" Growled Invictus.Aeriel cackled, "you sound so fed up about it, Lord Invictus. Don't worry. I won't try to smooth-talk you. Just be safe, always."Rahel already bid his farewell to Invictus and does not have that much to say to him. She left to give Aeriel and Invictus some time alone to have proper temporary goodbyes to each other with the goals they have in mind."We're about to chase after our goals in life and are gradually drifting apart from each other."A small part of Doloria had been seized by King Estaroth in their last invasion.

    Even if you're a citizen of the city, you are also bound by the same fate as the newcomers. They can become money for people too since they are humans themselves too and have blood, flesh, bones, and organs.The intentions of the three foolish guys with annoying grins on their faces were crystal clear.'Hmm? Thugs and heavy drinkers who do not have money anymore to support their vices.'Being the six-foot-tall man that Invictus was, men with average height, can't help but feel small and offended being looked down.'These beer-bellied scums are trying to rob me of what little money I have.'Shamelessly, Invictus took everything Rahel gave to him. She knew his circumstances and added more Plata he can use while he moved forward with his motive."This ain't a mask town, boy. Take that ugly piece of crap off your face!"'I wanna leave a strong impression on everyone who's watching us right now, but at the same time, I don't wanna attract

One thing the city respects the most is the farmers who are assigned to cultivate small gardens and raise livestock.These farmers are also criminals but everybody respects and treat them with the utmost care, for they are the only people that bring food to their table. But there is also another source of food, importing them from theoutside world."It is recorded that no Estarians had ever been successful in climbingover that wall that is about fifty meters tall."One can raise their head all the way up to the point that it would hurt but they will barely see what's at the top of the thick impenetrable wall."If I want to break down all these highrise walls, I will need some explosives.

    Invictus did not care about the awful acting of Lydia and her kids. He just continued walking while listening to what they had to say behind his back."Let's tell Uncle about this!" Suggested a kid, angry because Invictus didnot give them even a single piece of Plata."Yes, yes! I'm sure Uncle will definitely punish him!"He paid no mind to the blunt threats he was hearing from Lydia and her kids. In his mind, no one in Haven City will be able to stop his wicked plan."One week. I'll spend a week here and get things ready."Even if the place looks like a total mess, with fights going on here and there, screams and yelling clamoring, and poverty portraying itself transparently, Invictus still managed to find a decent place to eat.[Al's diner]Nostalgia hits Invictus, memories that did not need to be remembered. It was the place where he shared a meal with his fake friends, people that made him believe they were real comrades.Their images only bring rage to Invictus' frenetic heart.

    All possible escape routes had been blocked by the party, creating three duos, and cautiously making their way near the house.A lamp faintly lit the whole house, emitting the same scary vibe to it after the death of the massacred family."Rumors have it that people would hear footsteps of kids running around inside the house.""Stop it. You're just scaring yourself."Being scared of the dead and people who are alive have a clear difference in them. One thing is you won't be able to see ghosts unless you're an esper whilst you always see a person in the flesh."A man who has a knife in his hand and is ready to kill shouldn't be acting like a coward just because you've heard rumors of ghosts.""But it's true!" Persisted the man who was shaking in fear of the dead."One time, I sneaked inside the house and I ended up running away for my life when I heard kids laughing in the bedroom!"A small house with one bedroom, a tiny kitche

    Invictus made Gituku's earlier words become real. Initially, he did not mean anything he said, but after undergoing intense yet simple torture, there was nothing Gituku wished for except to die."Pfft! Take a closer look at his face, Bethel. You wouldn't have imagined seeing him with that kind of expression, yeah? You owe me one. I'll make great use of you.""I don't remember asking for your help, so I can say that no one owes you anything.""Kuku, Bethel. Should I take your life here and then right now? To compensate for the actions I did; for sparing your life."Bethel looked Invictus in the eyes. He had the eyes of someone who would not hesitate to kill because Invictus was someone who would not back down on his words. If he tells you he will do something, he is sure to achieve it despite the risk and how hard it is to accomplish.Invictus would not give a damn about the trivial things, and would just rock on until he is satisfied with the outco

    Gituku was not given the time to mourn his fallen comrades. He watched them suffer at the hands of Vixen whilst being pushed back by Bethel. It pained him to witness his friends turned into ashes. But what really aches was the fact that he could not even do anything about it."Haa!"He was out of breath after the fierce consecutive attacks from Bethel, giving him no time to fight back. Fending his enemy, Bethel, was not easy. Something about Bethel changed upon disappearing earlier.When Bethel came back from the strangely indescribable world of fantasy and magic, something about him changed. Unlike Gituku whose personality was not the same when he first split himself into two, Bethel was the same person but a much better version of him.Under the guise of a loquacious manner, Gituku was actually a much quieter and polite person. None of it was his actual personality. But by splitting himself and constantly activating his skill, his Alter Ego changed him.

    There was nothing more heartbreaking than seeing your whole family dead. And the thought of not seeing their smiles anymore added to the immense sorrow she was under at that moment.Vixen knew that it would be a pain to dig her family their graves, so they just turned them into nothing but ashes, then placed them in an improvised urn she made. That way, she just needed to scatter their remains by going to the shore.Whilst walking down the shore near the splashing waves of the sea with the urn being tightly held by her, Vixen opened the lid of the vase, throwing it on the sandy shore.Her trembling hand slowly reached for the ashes of her whole family; her father, mother, and siblings that died at the hands of the wicked. A handful of ash was taken out of the urn. Vixen stopped on top of a big rock where fish around it swim despite the heavy current and tidal waves.And onto the wild sea, the ashes were scattered as the tears flowed down fro

    In these lustful men's eyes, Vixen was a vulnerable prey they should feast on while it is still alive.They licked their lips upon laying eyes on the weak state Vixen was in. She was effortlessly seductive. Her sweat attracted their libidos and stirred more sexual fantasies inside their heads.August staggeringly got back on his feet after suffering an immeasurable degree of pain from having his nutsack kicked by Vixen when he persisted in pinning her."Vixen, honey! Run away!"Her mom put up a fight. Seeing her daughter this vulnerable, she can already see how things will go if Vixen does not escape now.But there was no escape when one man blocked off the path. Cramp as it may seem, there was enough space inside for the five of them to pleasure themselves with two beautiful women.With her mouth now unoccupied, Vixen's mother began chanting a spell under her breath, emitting fragments of magic as she was halfway finished with her spell.

    "Dude, I came here for the money. But I totally agree with you on the taking turns part. It's 'cause I prefer boobs over ass.""Real men prefer thighs, thick preferably."The twins brushed their eyes, checking if they were just dreaming about two armed men arguing over whether it should be ass, boobs, or thighs."But dear intruders, shouldn't personality come first more than anything else?" Said the two of them, thinking of the scenario as a dream. "Mom, always tells us beauty is on the inside.""Sounds like what an ugly person would say.""But our Mom is prettier than any other mother.""Oh, yeah? Never seen her. I should pay a visit to her room then. But before that, you two need to go back to sleep, eternally."They even put on the twins' blanket for them, singing them a lullaby as the knife gently yet painfully pierced the twins' chest.

    The people on the roof of the houses weren't that much of a threat to Arnold, Halmer, Marielle, and Gojack. After defeating most of Butcher's men, the four of them went against the man responsible for the ice dome, Butcher himself.On the other hand, Vixen and Androgen against four retired knights were also the main force Butcher has in reserve.In other words, among the many men Butcher has, the five of them are the strongest. Most of the guys were just fillers to the story, who did not even put up a fight against the overwhelming abilities of the four leaders together. They served their purpose, to give the four leaders their warm-up for the upcoming battle against Butcher.As for Androgen and Vixen, they concluded that it was crazy to think that two women versus four men would be a walk in the park. No, because even after Vixen managed to destroy all of their weapons, except for having the upper hand by numbers alone, they came out overwhelmingly skilled.None of them can use magic

    "I am currently having a great massage. Ooh! I wish you could experience this feeling right now."Bethel was in the same position when he first disappeared and reappeared exactly how he was before, still, head first and whizzing past the wind barrier flowing around that was accompanied by a cold breeze."What in tarnation did you do?!"A quick and precise attack was executed, thus eliminating one of the two threats. Multiple lacerations are not enough. Bethel chose to cut deeper into Gituku's flesh, an attack the man could barely react at all.For a second, Gituku's wide grin flashed in Bethel's eyes before he succumbed to darkness."Merciless and austere, what a lovely opponent you are."What was left of the dead Gituku merged with the other one? The dead Gituku was nothing more than a pile of meat that caused damage to the alive one when they fused back together again.Blood dripped down at the side of his mouth. Gituku wiped it wit

    His wound seemed like it did not affect him whatsoever. The man could still laugh his ass off despite having his jaw ripped in half by Bethel's sword."Truly a worthy opponent you are, Bethel. Because of that, I'd tell you my name."Both sides had a reset, conversing with each other with their guards up and their eyes focused on the other while assessing and planning their next course of action."Even if you don't want to know, I'd insist. Gituku is my name, which means "shady and sly," though I'm quite the opposite. I'm bright and honest."Although faint, Bethel is sure that there is no way there are only two of them when he could hear multiple voices inside his head. But it can also be a psychological attack from Gituku, so it was all doubt until proven. Neither of these will be answered if Bethel does not do anything."Gituku sounds like a name from some tribe.""Well, I am from the tribe of the mighty and opulent land of Marxian."

    Bethel felt like the voice inside his ears rang for the second time, but it was not really the case. Two of them really were talking in sync, and Bethel could not tell if the same person that emerged from the original body was nothing more than an illusion or a clone. There was only one thing to make sure of and clear his doubts. That is to engage in a fight against his chosen enemy, and get an answer to whether it is real or just an illusion.The ninjatō is typically depicted as being a short sword, often portrayed as having a straight blade (similar to that of a shikomizue) with a square guard. Usually of a length "less than 60 cm", the rest of the sword is comparatively "thick, heavy and straight."
