Silence*Silence ensued in the arena as everyone’s eyes were glued to the ongoing fight. Some even thought it was shooting for a movie, while some wondered who the actual monster was. The lightning construct that was creating the rumbling sound as it butchered the monster, and the red mist that was giving it support as all kinds of attacks befell the Stormbringer.The cloaked figure contributed by limiting the monster’s movement, cutting at the monster's feet and making it stagger."What is going on?""A monster.""Wasn't the Stormbringer said to be a dangerous monster that could cut down a whole expedition with a wave of its claw?""It is, and it still can. The problem is that…""It met its bane today."The crowd discussed amongst themselves as they stared at the lightning humanoid creature that was now of the same height as the Stormbringer and grabbed its claw with its own one, using the other one to pin it to the ground with its sword, stabbing it of course.Roar*The monster roar
{This is unexpected.}‘Having a lightning body was strange from the beginning.’{Yea, how can one bleed if the whole body is made from lightning?}'…’The matches kept ongoing and some time to for this round to end. Only 5 teams survived and received the last charm of luck, the four-leaf clover.Neo's attention was also on the clover as he looked at the bracelet on his hand vanish and a small coin appeared on his wrist with a symbol of scarab carved over it.『 Absolute Luck: Luck +500% Cooldown: 4 month.』Neo turned to Selene, who had a 4 leaf clover on her wrist, and she shared its details.『 Absolute Bad Luck: Luck -95% Cooldown: 4 month.』Then the host rolled the curtains on the match, and the crowd dispersed. That was the norm. They waited outside for their champion to emerge and bring luck to their clans, sects, race, etc.Xandorael turned to them as he put the cape away, and Neo could finally see who was beneath that cape.'A demon?'{A dragonling.}There were two small horns pr
"How is the preparation for the raid going, Michael?" "You know, Mike. The higher-ups are still planning. Only after it is fully introspected so that there’s no mistake will we advance." "It's unbelievable." Mike said, reminiscing about everything they've been through. "Yes, it's been over 20 years now. I still feel like this being a dream and me needing someone to wake me up." “You are not the only one, mate.” Michael, with blond hair, hazel eye and muscular build with a great-sword on his back, said as he remembered the first day the apocalypse started with the voice that everyone heard saying. [The apocalypse will begin in 10 hours. Prepare yourself.] Many dismissed it as a prank from some powerful mage because this had happened to them before, but many felt the warning to be real and prepared for it. He still remembered the day when the sky was decorated by the meteorites, enough to wipe the humanity off of the face of the earth and the earth being torn like some powerful
Mr. Kenneth opened his eyes and saw Michael arriving. He stood up as he hovered above the ground. Through which everyone's attention was brought upon him as he said, "The expedition will begin now."Everyone mounted carriages or horses as they started their journey toward the dungeon......The journey went on for days; they fought different monsters along the way as they travelled toward the dungeon. After many obstacles, they arrived at the outskirts of a forest, or where should've been one, but now there were only trunks of the trees and monster plants growing in its place which wiped out every type of beast there was in the forest.Mr. Kenneth looked ahead and saw myriad weird plants growing peacefully. He knew they were anything but peaceful and would attack the moment one appeared in the attack range.He extended his hand up, and everyone stopped moving. Likewise, he hovered up in the air as a magic circle appeared under his feet and started widening when he started chanting, v
The expedition advanced for a while being stopped, before a giant gate that looked like a passage between two mountains.Kenneth looked at the giant gate before him. He took a deep breath as a light flashed in his eyes and turned toward the others."Today, we stand at the precipice of our last trial, the gateway to our ultimate victory. The fate of our world, the very essence of hope, rests upon our shoulders. We have journeyed through treacherous lands, battled formidable foes, and endured hardships that would break the spirit of lesser souls. But here we are, united in purpose and unwavering in our determination."Everyone looked at Kenneth, who took to the sky as he delivered his speech."This dungeon, this bastion of darkness, is the crucible in which legend will be forged. It is where heroes will rise and conquer their deepest fears. The devil himself lurks within, taunting us with his malevolent presence. But fear not, for we are not ordinary mortals. We are a force to be reckon
Emma sat down as she ate quietly. The woods burned as they provided sound for the duo, along with people talking in the distance."This would have ended a lot sooner if I just…"Emma didn’t comment on it as she stayed quiet, his eyes on the flames that burned ever brightly."If not you, someone else would've done that."She looked around at the weary and tired expression of everyone, but they were still going forward with them."At least you carried out a little hope for us."Michael looked at the carriage that they took with them, which was tightly guarded."I don't know, was it really hope, or just a star that was burning brightly before it went out?"Emma kept quiet, as they just sat there for a while. She then took her leave but stopped and said without turning back, "The more you blame yourself, the more that candle will burn out."Michael said nothing in return, just stood up and went back to his tent. He needed to rest for a better tomorrow........."The rules of the game are
Purple mist had the whole swamp in its embrace, as whoever tried to invade it felt the wrath of the mist. It invaded their bodies, trying to suck the life force out of them. Everyone backed away into the narrow pass, mages used the detoxification spell to get rid of the poison in their bodies. Many felt nauseous and vomited just from coming into contact with the poisonous mist. Kenneth looked at the poisonous marsh and started chanting, but stopped when he felt a stare at him. He glanced in that direction and found two giant eyes glowing in the purple mist. Just then, a voice swept through the crowd. Croak* Everyone heard that voice, making them turn their heads in that direction, and saw a giant monster leaping in their direction, rapidly closing the distance between them. The giant frog emerged from the mist, its colossal form dominating the marsh. Its skin shimmered with shades of deep violet and indigo, adorned with ancient rune-like patterns. Its eyes, glowing like twin moons
The monster lashed its tongue out once more and grabbed another person and ate it.The tyranny of the monster made many people's eyes turn blood shot as the ones being eaten were their friends, or family.But it didn't stop there as it spitted something which when landed on a person and melted him."It has corrosive acid in its glands!”Seth was shocked, he didn't know these frogs had that ability. It was an error in their calculations, a severe one at that.Chants reverberated in the surrounding area, which was ongoing for a while......Glacial Lance, pierce the ice,Formed in frost, a deadly device.Within my grasp, I wield your might,A frozen lance, gleaming white.With icy essence, let it grow,A frigid force, to lay my foe.In frozen stillness, swift it flies,Glacial Lance, freeze their demise.From winter's heart, this power I take,Ice crystalline, a lethal stake.In icy tempest, enemies quail,Glacial Lance, their strength shall fail."Glacial Lance."A giant lance made of
