Damien almost lost it. It was as though his brain was on a fritz, as though he had leased the conscious state of his mind. It was too much for him process at that moment. He had no idea how to wrap this around his head. He had no idea what meaning to read to it. But as obvious and glaring as the fact was, he had just watched as four heads grew out of the necks of the Rumlans. And it happened in the blink of an eye. Damien saw the process of the germination. It was like a dead sprouting out of the mud, into a fine sturdy tree with edible fruits on it. And as if that was not enough, after he had destroyed the Rumlans with his superpower, they germinated again. He didn't know what to call them. Whether a creature or a plant.The Rumlans retained the former positions, standing there like they were about few moments. They wore no precise reaction writing on their faces, neither did they make a move to leave that spot. Damien had no idea what to do or how to address this situation. If h
Damien wasn't sure of what thoughts to nurse. There were so many things happening in his mind. So many things he wished he had answers to. As much as he was trying not to overthink things, yet he did know that he couldn't ignore these glaring facts. One thing to think was that... he took a pause. If he was really to nurse the thoughts, then they were couple things to put into consideration. But the most important of these was the fact that himself and Der still had a score to settle. Of course he remembered vividly that Der promised to come for him. Which might be what the wolf had really come to do? But with the cannibals?!!!To some extent, it was reasonable to Damien that the wolf had come to fight him. But again, the wolf was leading the cannibals?!! Damien couldn't wrap his head around it. He didn't know what meaning to make of it. The last time he checked, the wolf was never on good terms with the Cannibals. They never got along well. And now to see that he was leading all th
YOU DON'T THINK I'LL ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, DO YOU?Damien looked around to see where Der was. He couldn't see with his natural sight, so he made his eyes glow. Doing that made it quite easy for his vision to pierce through even the darkest part of the island. And behind a cluster of shrubs, he saw the wolf peeking. "That crazy fool."Damien didn't want her to hear that. She could only hear his thoughts from distance. I THOUGHT YOU WERE NOT --He couldn't hold unto the thoughts for long when the strange activities from around him knocked him back to reality. About a minute ago, when he had given the cannibals the instruction to drag him out of the circle, the cannibals had tried immediately but where knocked back. Damien who had anticipated that wasn't really moved. Truthfully speaking, he wasn't really banking on what the Cannibals could do. He neither expected the wolf to do anything either. He was just trolling everyone. But he knew what he wanted. He wanted a space to think, y
The cannibals kept on carrying him away. He should stop them and figure out what just happened. He had just shut his eyes for a sheer moment and before he opened it, the magic had happened. At first when he didn't see the Rumlans, he didn't allow himself to be swept off his feet. He knew it was a matter of time before they germinated. But then, the cannibals had broken the barrier and carried him out of the space?Though the fact was glaring to him, yet he didn't want to accept it. He wasn't even making an attempt to accept it. The only thought thay kept replaying in his mind was,IS THAT IT? DID THEY REALLY GET RID OF THE RUMLANS?Those were the obvious questions to ask. But he couldn't get an answer to either of the questions. "Stop! Stop!!!"He raised his voice and the cannibals halted. They had no idea why he had just ordered them to stop. Damien didn't think he could be quiet any longer. He wanted to really get to the root of this. Another thing which was puzzling was the in
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? wasn't really the question Damien found himself desperate to ask. Instead, he was more of being puzzled by the fact that the strange man appeared out of nowhere to assist him, and get him out of the situation? Help him solve the problem?Damien couldn't help but wonder how indestructible these Rumalns were. Because if they weren't, what would had made such a man appear out of nowhere to render help?He recalled the numbers of creatures which he had fought with an killed. Even when he had an encounter with the Ljorde while returning with the girls to Vegas in the yacht, the man didn't show up. But this time?Though Damien knew that he was actually avoiding the most important question, yet he wanted to feed his curious mind to stupor. Though he was yet to make words out of his thoughts, but his eyes were speaking an epistle. He looked lost and helpless. He wanted to do so many things and say so many things but he just couldn't find his voice. He wished he could
There was so much for Damien to process. At the end of the day, there was always so much he found himself worried about. His dilemma at that moment was seeking which of the troubles of his heart to elevate at the expense of the others. THE SYSTEM CLEANING FUNCTIONS?That was the nearest thing to the thoughts which kept choking him. He couldn't help but wonder that of all the skills and powers he had acquired, he would have to resort to the cleaning system function? Something that wasn't actually a skill?He didn't know what to wrap his head around. As much as he wanted to keep himself worried about the cleaning function talk, he quickly recalled something else,DER. His heart missed a beat when he recalled what he had just watched happen to the wolf. There was no way he could be sure that the wolf was fine. He hated to think that she---NO, SHE IS STRONGER THAN THAT. He nodded actively. He didn't want to overthink things, though that seemed like the only thing which he could do pas
He walked out of the space where he had been confined. He wasn't cautious when he walked out. He didn't feel like he would be hurt. His mind was at peace. He should be happy that he had finally gotten rid of the barrier and was a free man now, but he wasn't. He was walking briskly up the path. "Nether camera function."He called. [Ping! Request admitted. Bringing up the Nether camera function.]"Bring up the location of the wolf, Der."He was precise. The system did the usual routine and finally brought up the location. Damien's jaw dropped when the camera brought up the particular place. It was the sea. "What the hell!!! How did she get to the sea?"He gulped? From where he was to the sea, it was several metres. To think that the soft kick of the strange man had landed Der in the sea?!!!Damien shook his head, he was having a hard time believing. But then he realised that he didn't have time for that. He needed to be fast. He needed to act fast. "Zoom in."He ordered and the ca
It's been more than twenty seconds and the doctor still haven't been able to do anything. Damien had been watching the doctor take a test, yet he didn't feel like that would lead to anything fruitful. WAS I INSANE?He needed to be sure. HOW COULD I HAD THOUGHT THAT THE DOCTOR WOULD BE ABLE TO TREAT HER IN JUST FIFTEEN SECONDS?While he scolded himself, he couldn't take his eyes off the doctor. He kept staring. He was sharing his attention between the timer and the doctor; the timer would automatically go in the direction of his eyes. So he didn't have to stress himself to see it. The doctor suddenly left the wolf and turned to him. "I must have made a promise out of excitement. I wasn't in my right mind. I made the promise before making a check and doing the test. I don't think that small amount of time would be enough to treat the wolf."There was remorse crawling up the face of the doctor, but Damien didn't give a damn. He was tempted to snap the neck of the short man, but restr
