In a hidden base just outside of Korre..."Those cursed Magical Item users, Tyson, Yuni... I'll make them pay for humiliating me."He punched the desk, shattering it."Commander, please calm down. If you release your aura, the region's sensory team might detect us."He took three deep breaths and approached the screen showing surveillance footage.He smirked at seeing Benny enter the region."It seems the traitor survived. It doesn't matter now; I have a plan."His phone beeped, and he answered it.A faint voice muttered, "Everything's ready. You'll have what you want, and I'll become king."The former general's laughter echoed at the base.The location was the district commander's castle in Capital. Gantala was sitting on a throne with his cheek rested on his palm."Oh, Radaaaa, I'm back." Fiendlown entered the room, skipping around as he paused on his tracks when he was but a few steps away from Gantala."Fiendlown, did you deliver the letter?"The masked clown laughed and gave him
In an unknown location."Eeeeeeee!"Falkner and Jake rushed through a door after they heard a screeching sound."Sisi!""Yuni!""What! Who said you could just barge into my cabin like that? Do you have a death wish or something?"The two Olymphs were relieved and, at the same time, frightened over the actions of their leader. They had thought that something bad might have happened to her."We heard you screaming; what's the matter?""Was I really that loud?" She said this as she placed her hands on her cheeks.She then picks up her phone from the bed and shows the two the contents of the screen.It was the social media application being run by the System Magical Item that oversees all networking and internet access during this age.They leaned closer to take a better look at the contents of the screen. [Hy Yuni, Gantala has taken over Korre, and we need your help to stop him.] Tyson had sent her a message asking for her assistance. Of course, he knew that they'd eventually find out
Hours later, the crew had arrived at Grim. It was truly an eerie and suspicious area, with thugs and hoodlums lurking at every corner."Ehh, why is everyone looking at me?"Lex asked, feeling uneasy over the glares he was receiving from his teammates."Say the line.""What line?""THE LINE!""I don't know what you guys are talking about." Then it struck him. "Of course!! The line: My apologies." He cleared his throat and said, "Well, now what?""Good thing that you asked Lex. Now, it's simple: if the Seven Wonders are here, I will be able to sense them using my senses."He closes his eyes to concentrate. The more one concentrates and channels his anima, the stronger the range of the sensory. It was similar to the one he used when he was attacked by asphalt. After a few minutes, he shakes his head. "I don't understand; I can sense the anime of everyone here, but none of them is emitting a vibe strong enough to qualify for a Wonder.""It's just as when we were at Shoot Village. It's li
The location was in front of an old and shaggy cafe in Grim.It was the same cafe where the Seven Wonders had their meeting. Kaz had led them here in the hopes that they might find a clue as to the whereabouts of Shambala and the other saints."Woah!" "Solemn..." The gang all stared in awe as they made their way into the cafe. To their amazement, the place was nicely kept and clean. Had chandeliers hanging from the top and golden-coloured paint on the wall. "This place looks like a mini-luxury hotel on the inside.""How come a good-looking place like this is located in the heart of a vile area such as Grim?" As Jolie finished, an eerie voice echoed in the room in response to her question."That's because no one enters Adam's cafe without an invitation!""Eeee!" Jolie and Farrow began shaking down to their knees as they held each other's hands."Who's there?""Are you deaf or something? I said my name is Adamas!"Just then, smoke began to encase the room, making the six Nightshades
Kaz rejected Adamas's offer to train under him. Which got Lex recalling something that Tyson said when they met Kaz."Hihi! Well, he's stronger than me, Lex, and if it weren't for him, we all wouldn't be here right now." That was the case. At first glance, one would think that Kaz was being overconfident in his abilities, but. 'He came from the Eastern continent. Of course, he won't require any training at the moment.' Adamas then turned his sight to Jolie, who was drinking coffee while reading a book. He then walks up to her. "Well, then, should we get on with your training now?" "Eh? Me!?" She points at herself as she keeps her book away. "No, I am not a fighter." "I take it you're a part of this clan as well... Do you plan on forever remaining a liability to your peers?" "Hey!" Tyson removed his blindfold and rushed towards Adamas. "Nightshade is looking for talents, not only fighters. We're truly grateful for all your help, but if she doesn't want to fight, she doesn't have
"Four hundred years ago, a war broke out between humans and relimen." Adamas was reading out to Jolie from a book.She was practicing with her new powers as the others were getting packed and ready to depart."The lands were ravaged by the destruction, and the seas became dry. When all hope seemed lost for the world, seven heroes appeared and put an end to the war. They were a group of both humans and relimen... They were celebrated as champions within their fields of expertise and went on to later be called The Seven Wonders."He walked up to her and handed her the book."Keep it. You seem to be quite interested in the world's history. There aren't many books as good as this.""Thanks. Uhm, does the religion still exist? As in outside of crypts.""Now what good will that be if I tell you? Find out yourself.""Guys!" Vlaimir came running, carrying luggage. "We're ready to depart."They silently nodded, and they all made their way to Falcon Arrow."Any word from Yuni?""Yep, they've d
"Take care, Tyson.""We'll be back before you know it, hihi.""Farrow.""Yes, Sir Lex?""I don't know what you might find out there, but... try and keep your calm at all times."Farrow smiled at the advice from his teammate."I know you must be thinking that there's a chance Irene is alive. Don't get your hopes crushed and your will shattered even further.""Don't worry, Sir Lex; whatever happens, I won't lose focus on the mission at hand. This battle isn't just for revenge. It's also for the faith of two nations and possibly the entire Western Continent."As Farrow was bidding his farewell with Lex, Tyson was having a conversation with Kaz in private. "Kaz, you'll take command of the clan while I'm gone. Keep an eye on Vlaimir as well; I'm worried he might be overtaken by his emotions, especially since Fiendlown knows his way around getting inside a person's head. Vlaimir can be reckless when not kept in line." He was referring to the way Vlaimir and Farrow acted when Fiendlown appe
Jake grabbed the bars of the cell as he stared at the sight of someone he never thought he would meet in such a condition."I should be asking you the same." He raised his head to see Tyson emerging from his shadow. "Tyson? What's going on?""We're leading a rebellion against your brother by freeing the prisoners here to launch a two-sided assault against his army that's currently on route to Kondo."Tyson's precise and blunt summary of the situation fazed the two."Heh. You're still the same." Benny smirked."Step back; I'll cut the bars." Benny obliged, and Jake slashed the hard metal bars of the cell.Benny stepped outside and stretched his arms. "Thanks.""You're welcome."Benny looked at Jake and spoke in an apologetic tone. "Listen, Jake. I know all of this is my fault.""Enough. When we heard that Gantala had overtaken both nations, we feared that he might've... Killed you. I'm glad you're safe; we all are."Benny smiled at his long-time friend."Roro, aren't you forgetting so
