Defiant Chapter 39
Deep within the catacombs of the temple of light, inside a large circular throne room with towering pillars, a group gathered, all of them wearing a glimmering white robe. Yet even with their shining clothing, all of them hid in the shadows of the columns surrounding the place.Their murmurs echoing through the halls, yet their figures remained still like statues adoring the entirety of the area.In far middle of the room, Beneath the sculpture of the maiden with four wings, holding a staf
Defiant Chapter 40
All of them were in awe, gaping in sheer astonishment at the scene happening in front of them. Just a few feet away from them, they saw the boss monster kneeling helplessly in front of a mysterious being.Though it struggled, clawed, and growled with all its might, it was helpless in front of the hooded figured wearing the poker faced mask. As the monstrosity’s form slowly shriveled, shrink, and then piece by piece of its grotesque body fell off, turning to a purplish goo.Its malevolent purple aura that was uncontrollably scattering a while ago was now getting absorbed by the mysterious figure standing in front of it; even the mist like miasma seems to be getting absorbed into the new-comer’s body.“What the hell is going on?”Marco swallowed hard, trying to fend off the creeping fear inside of him. He didn’t know what was happening, but it scared him that there was an unknown person who was more powerful than the monster they struggled to defeat.His reason, being uncertain if they

Clifford couldn’t help his laughter, seeing how the group’s eyes nearly popped out upon hearing him say their names. Of course, he couldn’t blame them, since he deliberately hid his face behind a mask.He was about to remove it when he noticed something odd about the things they were carrying. He frowned, suddenly curious about it.“You boys have quite odd weapons.”He tilts his head, rubbing his chin as he focused on the objects. Each one had this unique aura; upon a more careful inspection, his pop-up box finally appeared, giving him much fuller details. He now did not need to use his mind’s eyes, which consumed mana.It seems his body was still having taking time to recover, after absorbing his left eye. Thankfully, he didn’t need to do much since it automatically returned to him upon getting close, along with taking out all the surrounding enemies, including the boss.“What’s wrong with it?”Jack states, his brows furrowing in confusion. Though their weapons were the kingdom’s tre

Clifford reviewed the information of the person chasing after him. After one glance with his retrieved left eye, he gathered some basic information about his pursuer.Name: Erol FlintLvl: 66Job: Captain of the 12 creese.Affiliation: The temple of the light.These were the basic information he viewed, disregarding the other information as he didn’t have the luxury to read the remaining information, being too occupied in outrunning him.“There’s no escape, darkling!”Erol’s voice echoed through the woods, gaining speed with every minute.Clifford winces, not expecting that he’d get chased that long. They’d being at it for an hour now, but the man seemed relentless.Fed up with the situation, he changed tactics; from moving in a straight line, he shifted to zig-zag movements, turning from one tree to another to lose him.“Cursed dark spawn, you won’t escape me!”Erol grunted, annoyed by the sudden change in the hooded being’s actions, along with the increase in speed. It left him with

Curious, the two youngsters went after the hooded person after seeing him get pursued by the silver knight, making their other companion follow. There was something about the mysterious person that made them feel safe and nervous at the same time.“Arty, this is stupid!”Marco grumbled in frustration; he was the last in the group as he hesitated the last minute, wary of the reason for their chase.It didn’t make things easier since they were so deep in the forest as the trees and bushes were so thick it made it almost impossible, along with the terrain being uneven made running a complete struggle.“Yeah, but I have to know who that guy was.”Arty huffed, taking as much air as he can while moving as fast as he could. He didn’t know how strong the hooded person was, but he was sure the silver knight was not someone to be messed with.“What for?”Marco frowned, confusion etched on his face as they increase their phase upon reaching a clearing.But Arty was too busy catching his breath t

Clifford wheeze with every breath, groaning from the searing pain throbbing from every part of his body. He didn’t think that he’d experience something like that in a temporary body.He didn’t think the pain would be excruciating, resembling his previous wounds from his original one.Rushing through the woods, he did not stop for anything; he kept his map window open, alert for any warning that may pop-up.Though he’s manage to teleport himself, thanks to having accidental copied Arty’s skill when he used it, he was unsure how far he’d gotten, being unaccustomed to it.It was only when he sensed some odd lingering sensation did he stop in his tracks, wary that someone might catch up to him.“It seems you’re at death’s door again, my chosen one.”The low, echoing voice ringed inside his head, causing him to wince. There was a pause before the entity spoke again.“Or should I say, your souls returning to your original body.”It was the being of the purple sphere, letting out a chuckle.
Defiant Chapter 1
The full moon was high above the sky, yet the rain continued to pour.Water streamed down the roads, making it harder to move, let alone run from one place to another.This was the reason the forty-year-old Clifford Ortis stayed standing in front of the thirty-two story building he was working at.It had been hours since he left the office, but he remained stuck there. He heaves a deep sigh, looking once more at his beat up watch his father gave him.Its small hands pointed at the eight, while the long one was on the six.“Thirty minutes before nine,” he mumbles, once again letting out a huff of disappointment. It had a been a tiring day, and he really wanted to take a good rest, especially since it was a Friday. Yet he still could not go home because of the weather. Eyes wandering around, he takes one more look at the large glass window of the nearby electronics store.He can see a woman on the screen of several televisions, all reporting about the recent disappearance of another stu
Defiant Chapter 2
“Why does it feel so cold?”This is the first thing which came into Clifford’s mind. It did not bother him that his entire body remained lightweight. He could not distinguish up from down, turning each time he tried to move, which became his primary concern.From his own perspective, they’d been traversing the swirling vortex for almost an hour. Of course, he wasn’t sure of that, having no way of telling.He couldn’t see much, despite being surrounded by those different colored lights. Neither can he glimpse at the teen he held, as they kept turning. All he knew was that the lad had lost consciousness a while ago.Only when a sudden gust of wind, followed by a freezing chill, that he had to wince from the sensation. He hadn’t even blinked twice, but that certain moment was enough for him to lose sight of things.When he opened his eyes, they were no longer inside the whirlpool of color, instead they now floated in a never ending void of those mixed lights. White and black like curtain

Thanks to the mysterious warrior, the young heroes escape unscathed, except for their pride and ego. Each of them had this look of anger, annoyance, and defeat, aware they were no match for the enemy they faced.After reaching a good distance from danger, one of the group goes to a halt, their faces creasing in frustration and disappointment.“We can’t just leave that thing roaming around. Who knows what it could do to the nearby settlements?”Arty shouts, his voice a squeal. Still echoed through the woods, making the birds around them scatter.There was stunned silence for a few moments as each of the youngsters couldn’t look him in the eye, ashamed they failed to fulfill their duties.“I agree with Arty on this.”Marco finally step up, seeing how the others started whispering among each other. He knew what they were trying to do, considering the group became divided, four against eight, as their other two companions stayed with them, while the others were in front.“We barely made i

Every single body that was engulfed by Hallor’s light fell to the ground. All of them turned pitch black, hardened, and steaming after the youngster’s skill burst.But it didn’t take long before the burned skin of the creatures cracked, as they twitch and twisted out of their broken flesh.The two men above the mansion couldn’t help frowning, gaping in shock that the creatures remained unscathed, even after the Hallor’s attack. What’s worse, it seems that took a lot on the youngster. Though Hallor stood gallantly, he now gasp for air.“Sir Clifford, what should we do?”Galford turned to him, noticing the lad’s predicament.The skill the young-man used was something he recently received from Clifford, which would explain his sudden exhaustion from not being familiar with it.“Give me a moment.”Clifford got conflicted suddenly. Here they were, so close to retrieving his missing body part, yet they were faced with an unknown enemy, capable of taking out a group of heroes and knights.He

Hallor wanted to impress the young heroes in his own way, in hopes of gaining their favor and approval. He’d always dreamed of this moment since he was a kid. So with this in mind, he gave out a war cry while releasing more energy.Strengthened by his resolve and passion. He conjured every ounce of strength he can muster in order to keep the afflicted refugees from escaping his hold. He did not flinch, even with the amount of strain it was giving his body.He didn’t want to let this chance slip by, especially after being given a once in a lifetime opportunity. Also, he did not wish to disappoint sir Clifford, who has provided him with so much.That was why, though every fiber of his being was being torn from the large amount of mana being eaten by the spell and pushback he was getting, he remained enduring and firm.“Heroes leave this to me!”He said, forcing a smile, since he was gritting his teeth in pain.Even with his newfound power, it was impossible to hold so many enemies at on
