Mage hunter, the vile monstrosity created to seek out magic. Magical attacks have no effect on its body, no matter how strong magic is used. The more magic it ate, the more it became powerful.
This monster is not an ordinary monster that could pop up out of nowhere. Someone is definitely involved. I already suspected that after I saw the Brachiosaruas earlier. Someone is set to attack this pier from the very beginning.
Thinking about it, there is only one group of people I distrust that came to my mind. The holy church council… Ever since the beginning they have hated me and they are the ones who sent Alina to seal me down to the deep trench together with Lumine back in the old days. I won’t blame Lumine for that event, because I’m the one who instructed her to play along so that she won’t become subject to their evil schemes.
Putting my blame on them might be wrong of me… First of all, I don’t have evidence to prove this. I
Before the knife skewered Retto’s chest, the knife stopped mid-air. The attacker struggles to push the knife down. She put her other hand down to the hilt. Together with her weight, she pushed down. It was useless. The knife didn’t even move. The black hood then flung away together with a metallic sound. *Klang!* Her body slammed into the wall and her hood relieved her appearance. What was that? I’m sure no barrier was placed… I didn’t sense any magical powers? The girl's attacker thought. A second later, two children both appear in front of Retto with both their arms speared wide open. Two girls with furious expressions. These two are no ordinary girls because these two are the other two spirits contracted to Retto, Lala, and Nana. “Don’t bully Retto!” “We’ll protect him.” The attacker stood still with the knife in her hand. Wearing a serious expression, she kicks the ground, pushing herself toward the ceiling. Kicki
“I apologize, but I already have someone dear in my heart…” I replied after recollecting myself from the shock of being proposed to. Then, I bow my head as a sign of appreciation for helping me earlier in a dire situation earlier. I thought I was going to die for real. “Will you marry me?” Didn’t he hear what I just said? His eyes are sure glimmering and my voice does not reach his ear. I took my hands away from his and then made a step backward. “I truly appreciate that you saved me from the monster mage hunter, but my answer is final.” He stood up and held my hands again. Pushing his face close to mine, saying: “Leave that man and marry me… I’m the greatest. I could give you anything you want. Wealth, power, and fame. Expensive jewelry, huge mansions you can call home, wide lands, delicious foods, luxurious dresses, and everything material in this world.” Before he got too close. I moved my hand and slapped hi
Clouds of smoke were scattered in the surroundings after the explosion, pulling residents' attention all at once. Before, people turned into a panic. The other heavenly knights, Noella and Roze, do their job to calm down the residence. Hikari pulled down the barrier to protect the people inside.The residents were scared of what was going on.It was understandable considering how many unfortunate events have just happened in Eden City these past few days. Countries'neighboring army attacks, attacks, and extraterrestrial attacks.Roze, who saw the frightening expressions, couldn’t do anything. Making a promise that they would be safe without anything for its foundation is not something Roze would say. She is not a bright girl that would cheer up everyone. If her acting big sister Winda is here. She will know what needs to do to calm the morale of the people.Gottoms and the other heavenly knights fall from the last battle and have taken down Roze&rsq
“That was a massive explosion. Is everything going to be fine?”Asked the anxious Roze, looking at the giant flare that had just emerged from the entrance of Eden City. If it’s because of the powerful barrier placed on the city. The city is already turned into dust.Hikari was calm and made a small grin, turning her glance to Roze. She put her hands on Roze’s head and gently pated.“It’s his time right now… His time to show that he's one of the heroes. The fight isn’t over yet… But it’s not going to be an easy one.”She replied.The anxious feeling about Roze was still in her. Scared that she might lose another important person in her life. Like the other heavenly knights who have just sacrificed their lives for many.Is it the right choice to sacrifice one's self for many? Why does one person need to be a sacrifice? Is it because many people think it's right? Is it the
“Mikael is already dead… My restoration ability is not going to work on him any longer. This man defeated an archbishop like it was nothing.”Sena muttered in astonishment, seeing his companion drop dead on the ground. An archbishop is said to rival a demon king that took over an entire continent not long ago.It was devastating, but it was the truth. Sean accepted it and turned his glance to Velrum, who emerged in the thinning dust of clouds. The broken mask was already replaced and his face was never seen by Sena.“Now that one of the archbishops is dead… This means, that this city will be labeled as a threat to the church… Picking a fight with us is not a wise idea.”“We’re not the ones who first picked up the fight. It was your friend who made the first blow. I just protected myself… There is another way to fix this problem…”“What do you mean?”&ldq
This is not a dream nor a nightmare. The proof that I could feel the sensation of pain is enough for me to believe that I’m in reality. But this wasn’t my reality. This is another reality. Before, the knight put another whip on my back. I caught the whip and stood up, glaring at his eyes. He looked so petrified at my action that he staggered and stepped back. “Those eyes… That’s not how you look to your superiors. You’re fired, don’t you ever come back and come here again?” “I understand…” But before I leave… I curled my fist and knocked the knight in armor to sleep. His beating is particularly painful. Leaving without getting in return is not an ideal one for me. When the knight fell to the ground with just one punch. The mining workers around me were in a state of astonishment. Disbelief about what they just witnessed. “Is this pickaxe mine?” I asked one of the workers. He nodded without saying anything. I took my pickaxe thinking that I could use it as a weapon. Just in
According to Falfa, she and I met when we were younger and still working as adventurers. Falfa was out of magic when she was cornered by wolf monsters. Unable to fight, she already finds herself at death's door. Like heroes in the hero’s tale. I appeared before her eyes and saved her from the upcoming danger. After that fateful meeting, we started traveling together. Traveling together, we participated in my monster hunting quest and helped the heroes in taking down evil lords. We go to many battlefields and face hardships together. Eventually, falling in love and decide to live normally on a peaceful continent. I retired from fighting monsters because it was too dangerous, especially now that we have our baby. Falfa doesn’t want me to take a dangerous job that might lead to my grave. She was an over-protective wife. Falfa currently works in a flower shop. The task was easy, she said, and she could handle her work on her own. Meanwhile, I, who
Having a normal, peaceful life with Falfa is not so bad. Together we raised Laura. Seeing Laura’s smile after I worked so hard one day made the stiffness of my shoulder melt away.How can I leave this happiness snip out my finger? This is the peace I desire in my world. There is no conflict or burden given to the rest of the universe.Three years have passed already. Nothing eventful happened. Nothing but tranquil moments.Together we hold hands and walk in the street like a cute family. Falfa's broad sweet smile, Laura’s laugh, and everything that is happening is such a blessing.I grew attached to them…“?!”Where am I again? I’m supposed to be in the street together with my family.I split a second, I found myself back in our house. I looked around the house and found no one. Shouting Falfa and Laura’s names as I searched around. I got nothing in reply. I went out to the nearest town searc
