Kaz had made his way back to the carriage given to him by Vladimir.He made a stop at Black Seed Market to clarify certain things about Fiendlow."Honestly though. How strong are the dons? If we had faced the original Fiendlow,"Oy! Where do you think you're going?""I can ask you the same thing."Kaz looked at Adamas, who was carrying his luggage around his back."I meant, where do you think you're going without me?"Kaz tilted his head."Huh?""You're returning to the East Relica, are you not?"Kaz nods."Good, take me with you.""As much as I hate going there, I have to report my findings to those old fossils."The two rode off.Meanwhile..."Ahhhh!""Sir Tyson, do something!""Guys, hold on!"The Mini cruiser was descended at a fastening rate as a red alarm beebs on the deck."Brace yourselves!"Lex was chewing his fingers as Jolie and Farrow clutched each other in fright. Tyson was struggling to steer the Ark to a safe spot for a crash landing.Boom! Thud!Leaving a crater of des
"Huff. Huff." "Hey! big chunk of meat. Look what you did to Coby!"A vein popped on Crimson's head."What's wrong, little runt?"Lex sneered. "Oh, don't tell me you actually thought your friend over there would win just because he could read minds." Crimson widened his eyes as he gently laid Coby on the ground."Stay put." He said this to the unconscious mind reader as he looked at his other guildmate. "Deen! Look after him." Deen nodded as Crimson turned his attention to Lex. He points at him. "Sit tight and wait for me; you're next just as soon as I put your oversized friend here in his place." "How are they so strong?"Crimson had underestimated the Nightshade guild. That had always been his issue in the first place.He lacks the intuition to scale a person's power. Even when he witnessed them take out a hundred relic beasts, he merely saw that as a team effort."Nonetheless, he beat up my guildmate, and I intend to make him pay!"Crimson walked into the ring to stand fac
"Ahh!" Tyson exclaimed as he slammed a cup on a table. "Man, this smoothy is good!" The crew was currently in the cafeteria section of the tower. Having destroyed most parts of the battle dome due to the collision of their powerful attacks, Tyson, Crimson, and their respective guildmates made their way to a cafeteria for lunch. Vladimir was devouring towers of food without a second's rest."Tyson." "Yeah?" "Here." Crimson kept a big bag on the table and pushed it as it slid towards Tyson. "Huh?" Tyson opened the back and was slightly blinded by the glittering sparkles of the object inside. The others peered a little, and they all dropped their jaws. "It's an Anima crystal!" "I don't understand." Tyson faced the red-haired teen. "The match might have ended in a draw based on a technicality, but I still can't shake the fact that I lost. And as such, a bargain is a bargain."Crimson folded his arms."Heh. The runt actually has a nice side to him. Who knew?" Lex mocked her with
Having been sidetracked because their Anima crystal was drained dry, the Nightshade guild crash-landed into a forest outside of a city. They made their way into the city and bumped into Crimson Valentines, who offered them a bargain. With their newly acquired Anima crystal, the crew had successfully arrived at Grum Forest! It was an eerie-looking forest that was devoid of sunlight, even though it was noon. The many large trees spread around to block the sun's radiance."Ehh!" Farrow screamed as he held his face. His legs were shaking. He was barely able to control his guildking teeth over the sight of a shadowy creature that brushed past through them. "S-Sp-Spider!" He jumps into the arms of Vladimir, who has a comically confused expression on his face. "Be a man, Farrow!" He throws the archer down. Farrow scurries to get back up quickly, fearing what other detestable insects might be lurking nearby. "That spider was huge! You didn't see it, Sir Vladimir."He turns to see th
The location was inside the Capricorn zodiac crypt. The Nightshade guild found themselves in a large labyrinth. "Ack!" "Dead end!" "Shit!" Cries of devastation escaped the mouths of the Nightshades as they seamlessly tried to get out of the maze. But there is no veil. "This place goes on forever!" Lex slams the wall that stood before him as they stumble into another dead end. "We've been at this for days!" Tyson cried out. It was unusual for him to lose his cool, but this was a special case. "Good thing we packed some food with us," Jolie added as she continued to study the markings on the walls. "But for how long?" Vladimir intervened. "We seem to be going in circles." "It's been a week since that goat-man came here, and we haven't made any real progress." A week ago, the Nightshade guild arrived at Grum Forest to locate the Capricorn crypt. Farrow ended up falling into a hole, and he asked the others to follow him. That was how they found the crypt. The crypt keeper, Ha
"Vanquish any dispute." Jolie kept repeating the words of the keeper. "Erase all ego..." She rubs the sides of her head as she tries to make sense of the last sentence. "It takes a certain level of humility to apologize. Shouldn't that have been enough to get us out?" "That was what I thought. Clearly, Han knew that the maze would turn us against each other." It was to be expected since they were devoid of food and water for days."These bastards..." Lex cursed. "Why won't they put on a simple trial!? They always have to go on with their cheap tricks." Farrow began shaking as a thought popped into his head. "Sir Tyson said that Sea's crypt was C-Grade while Han's crypt is B-Grade. If they were this difficult, what would happen when we entered a higher-grade crypt? Yikes! Thinking about it makes me want to throw up." "Vanquish any dispute. Erase all ego." What could he possibly mean by erasing all ego? Jolie kept pondering as Tyson was meditating. "Since when do you meditate
The location was the cafeteria section of Peak Tower. It has been a few days since the Archfiend Crimsons and Nightshade guilds clashed.Crimson, Cobby, Scott, and Mr. Peak were sitting at one of the desks at the cafeteria. "We have to hurry up if we want to make it to the third crypt in time." He took a sip of his cup of coffee. He tried to hide his amazement at the exquisite taste of his drink. "Your coffee is as good as always, Scott." Scott and his father grinned. "I know, right?" They rubbed their noses almost at the same time. "It's a family recipe." "That's right." Mr.Peak nodded. "My father thought me, just as his father did and how I thought my boy Scott was here." He exclaims as he places his hands on his shoulder. "Right. That reminds me." Coby said as he faced Scott. "Your grandfather is a wonder, right?" "Was a Wonder?" Scott raised his finger. "And one of the best during his prime. He was the former sword Wonder and mentored a tonne of Wonder candidates, incl
Kaz was leaning against a wall as he awaited his friend to come pick him up, while Adamas made his way inside a secret passageway to address the hermit. Adamas found himself in a room void of light, as he could see the silhouettes of three people. One had a sword strapped to his waist, the other was holding a spear, and the one in the middle had a shield hanging around his back. "Adamas? What brings you here?" Adamas looked at the wonder that spoke; he was the one holding the spear. "You're retired; therefore, you have no purpose to be here." The shield-bearing Wonder scoffed at the retired Wonder. "Tsk. Even I don't want to be here, you old geezers." He glared at them. It was dark, and they could not see each other, but the hermit felt the pressure from his gaze regardless. "Someone is trying to assemble the three map pieces of the Seed of Yggdrasil." "What!?" The spell-wielding Wonder slammed the hilt of his spell. "How could Shambala let something l
