Silas turned his head back to the bear which was running in a fast pace toward him, he lifted his hand to the air realizing that the bear was too close for him to attack.
The bear instantly lifted into the air making it impossible for it to advance any further. Silas pressed him palm into a ball while the bear movable joints bent into strange positions with loud cracking sound, he stood up from the ground with his hand still fixed in the air while making a direct eye contact with the bear. Silas instantly spread out his hand like he was calling for a hug while the bear widened it body with a loud roar.
Silas brows fuzzed with narrow eyes, he raised his hand further into the air and with a sudden movement began to swing it from the left to right. Meanwhile, the bear began to bang recklessly on the sand which sudden got red of blood. He heaved a sigh of relief and finally released his hand leaving the bear to crash on the ground.
Silas who was already exhausted tilted his head to Ghou and the others who still battled with the slimy eels. He was about to run toward them to help but just then he stopped himself
After all, I have my own territory to protect!
Silas turned around and walked back to his guiding post ignoring them.
….
Ghou suddenly got sadden realizing that Silas ignored his crew instead of helping. He had been watching him with the corner of his eyes for some time while fighting the glue vomiting eels.
Feeling disappointed he focused his attention to the eels, though they were in the basic tier but it was difficult due to their extravagant size.
After a short period of time, Ghou and the other guards were done fighting the eels without any form of misfortune. Feeling exhausted, they headed to the gate and rested on it.
****
Ghou sat on his sofa counting the gold coin Kiara offered to him, the side of his lips curled upward and his cheeks flushed with red
“Wow, ten gold, it’s so much.” He packed the coins back into it bag and kept it safely under the thick rug beneath the round table.
Hua!!
Ghou laid on the sofa and closed his eyes, today was a very stressful one and he was very exhausted as to his use of excessive mana consumption during the fight in the wall. Just then him mind ran through the memory of how Silas ignored him easily when he saw him and his crew in trouble.
Maybe he avoided us cause of his voice!
He shrugged and shut his eyes ready to fall into a long slumber.
Knock!!
Ghou sprang up from the sofa and ran toward the door, it had to be a guard from Kiara since he knew no one else. He opened the door immediately to meet Pengfei and Xia Dou who stood in front of the door. Peng wore a long sleeve and a long black trouser while Xia wore a baggy gown made of fur.
“Hey.” Pengfei said nervously which a forced smile, Ghou was going to shut the door immediately but he stopped himself, there was absolutely no need for him to be harsh especially with the cute eyes Xia had on her
“Come in.” Ghou walked back to the sofa and sat on it, Peng and Xia walked in immediately and shut the door. Xia and Peng stood in front of the door without a brief motion while staring at him with an apologetic gaze
“Ghou we are sorry for ignoring you for such a long time, do you forgive us.” Xia blundered out with her palms placed together. Ghou turned his gaze to Pengfei who stood there with motion making both side of his lips to curl downward unconsciously
“So why are you guys apologizing.” Ghou’s gazed was fixed in that of Peng whose iris momentarily began to turn purple. Ghou’s brows instantly furrowed upon seeing his condition
“Xia, what’s happening to your brother.” Ghou asked not turning his gaze from Pengfei. Xia turned to Peng and began to shake him violently.
“Get away from me.” Peng shouted and instant drew a dagger out of his sleeve, he pushed Xia away and violently ran toward Ghou who stared at him with confused eyes. “The vessel will have their revenge.”
Pengfei now stood few inches from Ghou and then threw the dagger toward him.
“Eh Peng what-” Ghou jumped away from his posture to the opposite side and fell abruptly on the ground
“Peng, what are you doing.”
“You, you killed my brother, even after knowing what we passed through.”
“Peng!” Ghou stood up from the ground staring at Pengfei who stood in front of the couch which was torn holding the dagger on his hand “I didn’t kill Funji , the empress did and by the way he was all bloodlust and even ready to kill me.”
“That doesn’t explain anything.” Pengfei turned to Ghou and dashed toward him with his palm tightened on the weapon
“Then why didn’t you save him.”
Pengfei being few inches from Ghou swung his hand to the air, his nostril breathed out thick steam while his pupils dilated confirming his readiness to slit Ghou’s throat. Just in the right time, Ghou parried the blow by catching the handle of dagger and forcefully smacked it out of his hand.
“You disgrace, how dare you.”
Ghou had taken enough, who was this guy that suddenly became violent, Peng had never been like this from the beginning of their relationship until now, he did not even possess any ability making him a mere human.
“Shut up Peng.” Ghou violently threw lashes of fireball to Peng whose eyes immediately widened, the ball of flame were approaching vastly and multiply not giving him a dodging chance.
“You fool.” Xia who had been watching quietly the whole time ran toward Peng who instantly fell to the ground
“What have you done.”
“I – I’m sorry.” Ghou was speechless, he was blinded by anger and had unconsciously attacked him and was now realizing his mistake.
What have I done!
“Peng, brother Peng please wake up.” Xia cried tapping and shaking his body violently. Pengfei body already felt cold and lifeless and was moving only with the help of Xia who pushed his back and forth.
Xia instantly sprang up from the ground and turned toward Ghou who stood there motionless, his eyes were bloodshot red and watery with tears while her nostril drew out whitish transparent liquid.
“Ghou, how do you want me to live when you know Peng is the only person I can call a family as a result of my stupid parents and my brother you killed.”
“I – I am sorry.”
“Sorry, what are you sorry for eh, killing my brother.”
Ghou brows furrowed upon what he saw, his eyes had subconsciously widened confused of what he currently stared at, his gaze was locked on what his eyes seemed to be seeing, his jaw dropped unexpectedly which he found extremely difficult to close
“Peng?”
“Shut up Ghou, brother Peng is dead cause you killed him.”
“No, look behind you.”

Brother Peng.” Xia jumped on her feet as she ran to Pengfei pulling him into an embrace “I thought I’d lost you.” Xia’s voice shivered as she tried to stop herself from crying “No….. No, I… I will never leave you.” Pengfei voice was completely blur as he tried to understand the paranormal activity that happened “Ghou?, what… what’s this, why am I here.” He instantly pulled out of the embrace and sat on the damaged chair of the room trying to recall what had happened before his death, especially how and why he could find himself in Ghou’s home “Ehn.. Emm… you and Xia came to my doorstep pleading for my forgiveness…..” “Forgiveness, for what.” Pengfei jumped up from the chair with a facing drowned in awe “Pleading?, why were we pleading.” “Ehn, but

Since sleeping was the only thing he could do, he curled himself to the size of the chair before petting himself to sleep.**** The next day arrived early with Ghou already dressed up in his uniform and ready to head into the Palace.The previous day was a whole headache for Ghou b

Silas on the other hand turned to Cheng with a death glare as it wasn’t in his interest to join the hunt, but he was a sheep bent to oblige to all their words since he was too embarrassed of his voice to muster a word. After all, if things were to get out of hands, he had the simplest solution by abandoning the project “Okay, good. I think we’ll start with the Aboleth today and continue with the others tomorrow. And please note that your ability is no stranger to the illusion, so it’ll cause harm to the children meanwhile the creatures can’t hurt you.” Kiara briefly explained already making her way to the wide opened door of the room. ----“So it all going to begin here.” Kiara invited the group into a huge dark hall which held different small

After waiting for what seemed to be five minutes, the room glitched into the sunny forest before it immediately transformed into a dark room.“I think they are Mana exhausted, you know, it isn’t easy creating these realistic illusions.” Kiara interrupted the fading silence of the room as she watched the room glitch continuously. “Anyways, I think this will be all for now, tomorrow will be another day.”“I didn’t even fight the monster.” Ghou said with a frown still staring at the pillar-filled room“Well, it is not my fault. The others are already gone.”“What about the book, the one from my… deceased parents.” Ghou reminded Kiara who ran out of the hall, into the throne room where she picked the

The huge door of hall finally closed as the illusionists who were mana exhausted came with a conclusion to put a stop to the daily training with the illusions.“Wait…. But why, don’t I pay you enough.” Kiara cursed at the four men who stared quietly to the ground, without a response to her words “Don’t keep me quite.”“We’re sorry empress Mihou, but we are going to slump dead to the ground one day if we are to continue with the illusion.” One of the men bravely answered, staring face to face at Kiara whose face revealed pure anger “And…. And, we’re always mana exhausted after a single fight with one of them.” The man pointed out to Ghou and the other three who stood vogue behind Kiara with a blank face “Yet, we go beyond our limits, just for them.”“Well… But

The book gave Ghou a stun as it revealed pictures of what the ability was going to be, when in effect.“So, first step will be to…” Ghou interrupted his statement with a frown, seeing that meditation was the first step to cross through, followed by a variety of different postures which were drawn on the book, and finally the thirteen sub-headings which taught in detail on how to make the ability effective. Ghou, being an impatient individual skipped the beginning process, going straight to the point of the book.“Okay.” Ghou who already stood on the ground glanced at the first step wh

The morning approached early with Ghou already set up to go into the training center. The book was going to stay at home since it was very risky to be handling such type of book in the streets in risk to theft. Opening the book to the Fire Wall page, he began to mumble some words as he tried to memorize the instructions. After some seconds, he closed the book and ran to the door which he opened in a hurry, finally switching his location to the outside of the house. Twining the local bronze key to the door, it made a low bang which signified it was locked before leaving for the training ground. Ghou finally reached the training center, where he hurried to the Fire section that was already present of few other elemental that practiced their various skill individually.“Hahh, Fire Wall, here I come.” He muttered walking into th

There was also a scabbard that was tied on his waist that tightly coated the silver-rapier.With a sigh he walked out of the room, into the parlor where Xia sat responsibly on a sofa while reading a small book.“I’ll be leaving now.” A words from Ghou startled Xia who jumped from the chair with a face filled with nervousness“But… But why can’t I go with you.” She stammered, already expecting the worse reply. Xia had just arrived a day before as Pengfei made his way into the Featherstone Kingdom to fulfill his ambition of being in the military. Ghou now stared at Xia with concern as he tried in desperation to find another phrase that still meant ‘No’ instead of him just saying it straightforward “Emm… I’m not sure Xia, but don’t worry, you’ll find thirty silver coins in my room, just on the bed

Alistar slowly walked towards the tightly closed door and only stopped when he stood directly in front of it. Beside the door was three different colored tube which became a mystery to him as he stared in awe. He turned his gaze to the golden dust of the animated mage some seconds later and back to on of the tube which was golden in color. ‘I don’t believe it.” He immediately transformed into his real form and hurried to pick a handful of the golden dust and poured it into the golden tube. A glow suddenly illuminated from the golden tube, but the door remained stiff almost as if nothing different happened. ‘Impossible, this isn’t possible.’ Alistar cried inwardly and immediately began to pound on the doo

The immortal looked stunned for a while but immediately regained his consciousness by bursting into a disgusting laughter, “You can’t intimidate me with that look, pirate, you’ll always remain the weakling you are.” “And who ever told you that pirate are weakling, I’m only being nice towards you while trying to give you a painless death. Don’t ever push me to the edge, and remember you’ll always be a mere human.” The immortal was immediately stunned after hearing the menacing voice in his head.

After standing for almost a minute without any interesting action, Alistar decided to give the first blow by flinging his silky muscle-build tail to the animated mage who remained calm with his dark eyes wide opened. When Alistar’s tail made contact with the man skin, he instantly felt a sharp pain that felt like he was being stung by millions of needles. Even at that, the mage also felt similar pain as the force sent from the tail would be enough to shatter his skeleton with one blow, but fortunately, he used the ‘Adamantine technique’ which had the capability to strengthen his skin. “Humm.” The animated mage finally gave a word with shivers running down his spine. Even with the Adamantine skin, he shivered to the force of t

And by the way, we have a home full of free food.”Alistar heaved a loud sigh of relief after hearing the statement, but even at that, he felt pity for the species.Some minutes later the mother Oxyl continued, “Now about the bullet-python. You should be aware that they only eat rodents and other small creatures… in the past. But due to the realm condition, they will risk attacking even a dragon..”“Have they gone nuts?” Alistar interrupted the mother Oxyl's speech that sent a feeling of goosebumps especially when the explanation made it clear that the realm was a suicide case.“Some of them...

Since when was there a Winterfoe kingdom?” “I’m definitely going to try it out.” “Thank the heavens for this kingdom, the empire is really becoming a risky place. Winterfoe kingdom here I come.” These were the words of the people around the scene with most of them having a bright face and only few of them making any reasonable comments. ‘I must inform Kiara about this nuisance, how can a so-called king lower himself to the stage of going into kingdoms and empires looking for citizens!’ Ghou felt disgusted with the ill action that was considered inappropriate by many. With that in mind, he flew into the room to take a quick bath and other things necessary before going to the Palace. *** Thud! Thud! Alistar continuously bangs on the door

After transforming into a dozen of heavy-weighted creatures, Alistar finally fell to the cold floor of the temple in an exhausted manner.‘Such bad luck… Somebody, please come.” After his words, he immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep, after all, he had to regain his lost Mana. Meanwhile, in the real world, Ghou stood outside the wall of the empire handling the Grimm Reaper long-sword casually in his palm, almost like it was a normal weapon.1 minute….5 minutes….12 minutes….20 minutes...

So therefore, without much options, Alistar decided to follow Senior Jiang Lang to his unknown destination while remaining in a low key. After what seemed to be over two hours, Senior Jiang Lang stood before the fancy looking temple that emitted a suffocating aura that could only be ignored by a King level individual. Some seconds later, a bright formation of different symbols appeared underneath his feet followed by a loud trembling sound that shortly followed after the temple’s camouflaged door flung open within an instance.

Elbert nodded his head in disgust before saying any word, “Swing the sword while you can.” With those words, Ghou summoned all his strength, lifting the sword off the ground and immediately swinging recklessly in the air. After swinging the sword continuously for almost a whole minute, Ghou felt the weight reduce into that’s of a feather. A smile immediately appeared on his face with the idea of him able to handle the sword effortlessly, but unfortunately he couldn’t feel anything more. “I learnt it?” A frown replaced the bright smile on his face some seconds later as he stared in a fit of rage at the sword, “There’s suppose to be a glow, r
