"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

    "What are you doing here, Aiden?" Shambala raised his head to meet the gaze of his former student. "I can't check up on my own sensei.""Sensei?" Shambala chuckled. "I believe you lost the right to call me that." Aiden squats to the level of his former master. "I don't get it." He pulled out his phone and showed him a picture of Tyson."What did you see in my traitorous son?" He was referring to the time that Shambala defended Tyson and his friends when his brothers arrived to take him away. "He has something of mine... And I will get it even if I have to pry it out of his corpse." Aiden spoke as calmly as ever. "Look at you giving threats to your own child. If you do, you must know that I recognised Tyson the moment I saw him. He resembles you a lot." "Tyson... Tck. That's what he calls himself now? That boy has something that is very crucial to our plan. But don't you worry. With you out of the way, I've sent Riley and Reed to get him back." Shambala's aura flared up with

    Lex was training on the deck of the Mini Cruiser. "Concentrate... Feel the flow of Anima within your veins and let it all out." "Scatter!" He shouted as the Anima gathered around him and the tip of his sword exploded in his face. An enraged Lex tossed his foil sword away. Unbeknownst to him, Jolie was watching the whole thing."Trying a new move?" "What's it to you?" He scoffed as he picked up his sword. "Tck. You know you don't have to be a prick all the time. We're a team." "I don't care." He brushed past her as she grabbed his arm. "Wait. I didn't come here to fight... I wanted to apologise earlier. I didn't know you had a rough childhood." "Well, I did. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some z's to catch."She sighed as she let go of him, and he made his way to his room. "Don't you see Lex? We all have a bad past." She said to herself as she noticed the punching bag Lex was using to train. "I'm not sleepy at all. Vladimir and Farrow have also retired to their rooms. You

    The location was the throne room of the capital of Korre. Benny was sitting on the throne with his head resting on his palm. He was clad in a golden robe similar to the one the previous king had worn.Three noblemen were currently reading out reports from their respective domains. Benny was lost in his mind as he was daydreaming. "Tyson and the others have cleared the second crypt, hence the new marking that appeared on my hand." "And with that concludes my report, your highness." "Wha-huh?" He snapped back into reality as the nobleman finished. "Ehem." He cleared his throat. "Well then, that will be all for now. Keep me posted on the developments in the new cities. I want them finished and ready in 6 months." He said it with a profound voice. The noblemen bowed and spoke in unison. "Yes, your highness." As he watched them exit the room, Benny sank into his throne. "Ahh. That's the 100th report this morning." He turned his gaze to the councilmen. "Please tell me that's

    "What brings you here, Grim!?" Tyson's voice rang out, filled with surprise and disbelief."My, is that any way to address your beloved teacher?" Grim responded with a smirk, drawing everyone's attention towards Tyson."He's the most psychotic person in the House of Bronze. My father might lead, but Grim, he's pure evil," Tyson explained, his tone serious."Stop it!" Grim chuckled, gently touching his cheek. "You're making me blush.""Tck, Kaz!" Tyson turned to his vice captain.Kaz met Tyson's gaze and nodded. "Got it," he said, placing his hand on Tyson's, transferring some of his own energy."Thanks," Tyson said gratefully as he felt his powers replenish. It wasn't full strength, but it would do for what lay ahead."Three Dons, the strongest assassins of the house, using shadow or dark elements, and Grim, on par with them," Tyson summarised."Everyone," Tyson addressed his friends. "I can't guarantee our safety. If you want to leave, I'll understand.""No way am I missing this! I w

    "Hahaha!" Vladimir bursts into laughter, impressed. "Amazing! You developed the mantra ability.""I've levelled up too, Sir Vladimir," Farrow responds confidently."Nevertheless, this match is mine for the taking... Blue Boomerang," Vladimir declares as he hurls his hammer at the archer.Farrow stands unfazed, stretching his hand forward."Impossible!" Vladimir grapples with the unexpected turn of events, while murmurs ripple through the colosseum.Farrow effortlessly halts the hammer with one hand, stunning everyone."How?" Vladimir asks, bewildered."This is the power of the mantra!" Farrow explains as strange markings emerge on his body.The mantra technique involves chanting phrases, granting the user the ability to drain the astral energy of non-living components, weakening them momentarily."With the mantra, every attack from a magic item or coated by animation is rendered nearly useless," Farrow elucidates.Vladimir realises that Farrow's mantra can drain the astral energy of m

    "So, that's it."The Nightshade clan was on the deck of the Mini-Cruiser, enjoying the food Tyson had brought from the Eastern continent.Vladimir had a mountain of food in front of him, diving in eagerly."Can't you eat slowly, big guy?" Ernie joked."A man has to eat fast if he wants to grow fast.""Preach on, brother!" The guitarist nodded in agreement, taking a puff from his blunt. "Also, congrats to all of you for making it to the second round." He gave them a thumbs-up."You all did well," Kaz commented."But it only gets harder from here," Lilith added.The Nightshade clan faced tough competition, and even though they were the only clan to have all members qualify for the second round, they might end up facing each other."Yeah, there are a tonne of commendable fighters who made it through the first round," Farrow added."There's the Enders, Red Souls, and Valhalla clans.""Rhea and Crimson, I hope I fight one of them soon!""You hope to fight everyone soon!" Kaz scolded."Leav

Tyson's unexpected offer surprised everyone."Hehe, it's typical for Tyson to do something unexpected," Ernie commented.Even the Dragon Constellar was taken aback by the ex-assassin's actions.She glanced at Maggie. "Is he always like that?""You have no idea, sister."Tyson confronted the Ice Mage. "So... what's your decision?"Jakeem burst into laughter. "You're quite the wild one, aren't you?"He jumped back, creating an ice wall. "I like your bluntness, but I must decline your offer.""Ehhh!" The crowd reacted in shock."He declined...""A chance to join the Nightshade clan!?"Jakeem conjured an icicle blast, causing the ice wall to rumble."Trouble," Tyson's senses warned as he activated his glider mode."Point One: Glider!" His dark Anima wings emerged.Farrow's eyes lit up at the sight of Tyson's new form. "Sir Tyson has improved without his shadow magic item.""That's expected of our captain," Vladimi

    Chapter 127 - A Lone Brave

    "A lone brave, huh?" Jake remarked.Lone braves were those who tackled the zodiac crypts' trials solo, without affiliating with any clan.The exception was the first zodiac crypt, where a rule mandated teams of four.After that, they faced the trials alone."This won't be an easy battle for Chase," Lexi chimed in."Don't worry, guys," Rhea interjected. "We've all gotten better, right? Lone brave or not, Chase will impress!""The match is starting.""Hey speedster, ready to face the ripster?" Rip teased.Chase tilted his head, then shifted to a serious expression."They say you lone Braves pack a punch." Chase mused as his boots glowed. "Some even call you socially awkward."Tyson eagerly anticipated their clash, recalling their previous fight where Chase's speed had posed a challenge.As Chase and Rip faced off, Tyson reminisced about their encounter."I've been itching for a rematch with Chase at full power," Tyson mused, his smile turning into a frown.

    "What!" "What do you mean we can't all participate?" The Nightshade clan was currently about to register for the tournament. The woman sitting at the other side of the desk looked at them with an unfazed expression. "I'm sorry, those are the rules. A clan can have at most 5 participants for the tournament." Tyson slammed his hands on the desk. "But..." "There is no, but I'm afraid. Rules are rules. It was set this way to allow Braves that are not affiliated with clans and smaller clans to participate. The requirement is that you flash the hidden markings you get for solving the zodiac crypts.""I see." The ex-assassin finally gave up as he turned to his clanmates. He counted himself, Kaz, Ernie, Farrow, Maggie, Vladimir, and Lilith."Don't sweat it, dudes and dudettes." "Yeah, Sir Ernie said he wouldn't be participating." "Is it because of that thing?" Kaz addressed the guitarist. "Who knows?" Ernie shrugged off the question as he pocketed his hands. "That leaves six of u

    "Ladies and gentlemen!" A man's voice echoed through the bustling streets of Lundar. "You have all waited for this day ever since we were chosen to host the 47th annual Vagrant Games here in Lundar!" In the middle of the city was a broad colosseum. There is a big arena in the middle, and several thousand seats are being occupied by the minute. It was truly a sight to behold. A large microphone erected from a pole in the arena carried the voice of the commentator. "In less than a few hours, Braves and Clans from around the continent who have peered through the difficulties and concurred three of the famed zodiac crypts shall battle for the grand prise of 1 million peaks, access codes to vintage websites of the past world, and for the first time in the history of the tournament, we will be issuing a magic item. All these prizes are for the first place alone.""Hurry up, guys!" Tyson cheerfully calls out to Kaz and Lilith, who were dragging heavy loads. "Maybe we won't be so slow i

    Chapter 124 - The Meeting

    It has been a day since the raid on the Elder's secret chambers. Elder Baraya had recovered completely thanks to Kisha using a healing pulse on him. Most parts of the chambers were ravaged, and all the ninjas that were still alive were rounded up and locked somewhere. "Let the meeting begin!" Elder Ram declares from the altar as he and Baraya look down on the Constellars, Tyson, and Kaz. "I told Lex to head to Lundar if he escapes." Tyson states. "And I've spoken with the others; I briefed them on everything that has transpired so far; they will be heading to Lundar today, leaving me and Tyson left." At first, the vagrant games were merely a way for the Nightshade clan to test their might against other clans. But as the events unfolded, they found out that one of the clans participating in the tournament was the Valhalla clan. A clan that works directly under Hudson is one of their common enemies with the Constellars. "Adacus..." Elder Ram called for the retired Constellar.
