2024-10-29 19:42:56The Archers lined up at the top of the great wall, aiming at every creature from the Demon Army they could find.
Outside the wall, the Knights and Swordsmen worked together to bring down the monstrous creatures. They ranged from those the size of a full-grown buffalo to those dozens of times larger. From creatures with trunks and legs to creatures with no legs at all.
As for the battle in the air, to intercept and repel enemies from the winged dragon race, it is the Mage who takes the role. With all their magic and abilities, they try to bring down the creatures that have the breath of fire.
Not a few have become victims, both from the human side and from the Demon Army side. All lay lifeless on the ground, with their bodies intact or disjointed. With bodies pierced by arrows and other weapons or burned.
The few warriors and soldiers who were still alive down there tried to crawl away and find shelter until the war was over.
But it seemed the attacks of those ferocious creatures were getting worse.
One by one, the mages were victimized by the fireballs of the dragons, or the deadly jaws with dagger-sharp teeth, or simply fell to the ground and died.
Kaboom!
Thump!
Several spots along the wall collapsed under the onslaught.
The soldiers and warriors continued to fight back despite their obvious plight.
"Keep fighting!" shouted an admiral. "Don't stop unless you die!"
A mage floated in the air and then jerked his two hands forward. Lightning flashed from his palms, aiming at a winged dragon.
Clap!
Thump!
The dragon of the Sky Dragon species roared as it was hit by the Mage's lightning until both wings were broken, and then floated down, crashing heavily to the ground.
One stone for two birds. At least, the Mage also managed to stop the movement of a large gorilla down there that was crushed by the Sky Dragon's massive body.
Unfortunately, a wyvern managed to bulldoze the Mage with a swipe of its tail.
Thud!
The Mage let out a short whine and floated down to the ground. But he was still alive even with severe injuries and a broken leg.
He tried to crawl away from the trampling feet or crushed bodies of other creatures with great difficulty.
The mage froze as someone stood before him.
"Wh-Who are you?" he asked in distress.
The person was mysteriously dressed in a wide hood that covered most of his face. And his clothes did not indicate that he was someone from the Land of Purbha at all.
"Help me," pleaded the mage. "Please, I'm hurt. My leg is broken. And some of my ribs―"
The Mage choked and vomited a lot of blood.
The mysterious figure said nothing but moved the fingers on his right hand.
And that was enough to make the Mage lift, and then float away behind the mysterious figure.
"Hey, don’t―"
The Mage could breathe a sigh of relief as the mysterious figure had no ill intentions towards him and instead put him in a safer position.
"Thank you!"
The mysterious figure seemed to glance at the Mage over his shoulder, but it was not very noticeable because he was wearing a wide head hood made of thick and rough cloth.
In the next instant, the Mage was stunned to witness how the mysterious figure floated, then darted very quickly towards a Sky Dragon that was trying to crush a large spear with its fire breath attack.
It all looked so easy for the figure to do.
Whoosh!
"Wh-Who is he?" he muttered to himself. "What kind of mage is he?"
"Aim for the damn thing's eyes!" a Warlord shouted at the Archers on top of the wall. "Take it down!"
The Sky Dragon with the sorrel body color sent another burst of fire towards the wall.
What was most frightening about the attack was that the flame was more like a pillar of fire that was so hot that it melted some of the scales of the wall.
"Kill that thing, now!"
Swoosh!
The Warlord was shocked as a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere, floating in front of them, and was able to withstand the Sky Dragon's fire pillar blast.
Not only the Warlord but also almost all the Archers and soldiers nearby.
The dragon's blast of fire seemed to be held back by a large, intangible shield.
The mysterious figure grinned faintly. "Sorry, buddy," he muttered. "You must be stopped!"
Swoosh!
People were even more surprised to realize that the blast of fire was rolling and reversing direction, becoming bigger and more powerful.
Whoosh!
Groar!
The Sky Dragon roared in agony as its flame bursts turned around and scorched it.
While the dragon was staggering, the mysterious figure darted quickly toward it and floated a few meters above it.
The figure raised his right hand high until it seemed to emit a blackish glow. An instant later, he slammed that hand downwards.
Swoosh!
A powerful wave of wind slammed into the burning Sky Dragon.
Boom!
It exploded and killed the monstrous creature instantly, sending it crashing to the ground, right below the great wall.
The Warlord on top of the wall gulped.
"Too strong," he muttered, but even so, it was still heard by the others. "He's too strong. Who is he?"
And of course, no one could answer that question. What's more, the figure seemed to deliberately hide his face and identity.
The mysterious man's actions didn't end there. After he dropped the Sky Dragon just now, he immediately found his next target.
The wyvern that had previously knocked a mage to the ground was now on a rampage, trying to kill the remaining mages with its fire breath, with the grip of its sharp-clawed feet, or simple whipping of its tail.
One mage screamed and died, unable to dodge the wyvern's jaws with a pair of wings that glinted like silver.
It flung its head left and right until the mage's body in its jaws snapped and fell to the ground, then let out a mighty roar.
Groar!

Flakes of human flesh and blood spurted from the wyvern's gaping mouth.In the next instant, the dragon that also belonged to the Sky Dragon species felt a terrifying aura heading towards it. Its instincts told it so.The moment the wyvern looked back, a blinding lightning bolt flashed and hit its body, thumping loudly, and killing it instantly.The wyvern's body split into several large pieces. It fell to the ground with blood gushing violently from each piece of its body.The mysterious man with the wide hood was floating calmly far up there. He took a deeper breath, keeping an eye on the monstrous creatures still raging for the destruction of the Southern Wall."Two down," he muttered. "And many more to go!"He took off again, chasing after the winged dragons that were still in the air and threatening the warriors and soldiers with their fire breath.Whoosh!Not wanting to linger or let the Demon Army rampage any further, the mysterious man cast a spell while flying quickly toward

But one thing was certain. The magic possessed by the mysterious figure far surpassed all the mages on the West Coast. At least, they considered the mysterious man to be a Great Mage."Where did he go?" asked an admiral on the Great Wall.He was watching every point down there with a telescope."Looks like he doesn't want to be recognized," replied a female mage to the admiral's right. "Oh, God... imagine if such a powerful mage were our friend!""Yeah," the admiral replied. "That's exactly what I was thinking. Goddamn it!"The admiral gave up trying to find the mysterious mage with his telescope."No matter what," he continued, "we need to find out who he is. Then bring him to the Central Empire!""I think that's a great wish that might be difficult to fulfill.""Nothing is impossible!" the admiral glared at the mage. "While we have the chance, we can do it!"The mage took a deep breath, then cast her gaze down to where the surviving warriors and soldiers were cleaning up the battlef

"Only this area of the West Coast remains in the Land of Purbha," Edwar said. "The orders from the Svarnabhumi Empire are clear, all the nobles must be in the Central Continent to better strategize and plan the resistance. Admiral, what about the soldiers and warriors?"Another middle-aged man stood up."Lord Blackwood," he said and then addressed the others, "Gentlemen... the remaining soldiers and warriors, they will remain here until the reinforcements from Svarnabhumi and Dakhsina arrive.""I think it might be better to just let the Land of Purbha be occupied by them," said one of the officers on the left. "We can take the soldiers and warriors with us!""No, that won't happen!" argued another."He's right!" said the one in the center. "Letting the Demon Army take over the entire Land of Purbha is tantamount to driving humanity to extinction!""Don't you realize, huh?" said the man on the left.

The hooded man growled softly pressing his head even harder. He became annoyed and removed the wide hood on his head, throwing the thick and coarse cloth onto the bed.For a moment he just sat there, wringing his hair before standing up and approaching the window.He looked at the sea with its not-so-big waves, lapping and breaking on the shore.The moonlight right at its highest point provided a little better illumination.And the mysterious man was none other than Mathias.He looked up at the night sky which looked quite beautiful this time, then down at the sea which reflected the moonlight, glittering like a pile of diamonds here and there."Where are you now, Alie?" he murmured almost inaudibly.He looked back at his right hand, turning it over and over in such a way.Just as he was about to return his gaze to the sea at the far end, Mathias heard a woman's scream from the right.He frowned and found a bit of commotion in his line of sight."Do people like this deserve to be save

Once he moved his right hand back, the bluish light hit the warrior instantly, sending him far back.People gulped as they watched how the warrior whose back had hit the wall hard was slowly burning. It started with his chest turning red, then peeled off like burnt paper, and spread to the rest of his body.He screamed in extreme pain. An instant later, his body disappeared along with the debris that flew in the wind.People looked back at Mathias with eyes filled with great question marks and shock. But even greater than that was the fear of him."Surround him!" shouted a soldier commander.More than a dozen warriors instantly moved and locked Mathias in the center with the girl, the Knight, and three other shirtless warriors."You have killed a warrior, Stranger!" the commander shouted. "And that was a big mistake!"The three shirtless men looked at each other with pale faces and feared for their own lives now.Two of them were mages, but neither possessed the magic they had just se

"No, wait, please! Spare my life, please―"Stab!The thirty-year-old man died with five holes in the face. His body still twitched for a few seconds before settling down.Mathias grinned at the bloodied fingers of his right hand. He stood up and glanced towards the back left."Wh-Who are you? Why are you killing them?" said another person in the corner of the room, a very messy room."You're the one named Aoris?"The man in the corner gulped, face pale, eyes wide as he looked at the heavily hooded man approaching him."I-I..." In the end, he nodded albeit stammeringly."Then you must die as well!""Why?" cried Aoris. Cold sweat dripped down his temples. "What wrong have we done?""You know better than I do!" Mathias stopped a step in front of Aoris."B-But, but we're Purbha's soldiers! We're fighting against the Demon Army!"Mathias grinned faintly. Slowly, he removed the hood that covered his head and part of his face.Aoris grew choked up as he looked at the face that was now clearl

The two had just finished lunch when a soldier came to meet them."What do you want, soldier?" asked Ryvel as he leaned against the back of a chair."Young Master," the soldier bowed. "Lord Blackwood requests your presence on the center deck. Everyone has gathered there."Cindy stood up and headed for the wardrobe."Don't worry, soldier," she said as she selected her clothes. "We'll be right there.""Very well, Miss Zircon."Ryvel waved her hand, and the warrior nodded and left the luxurious room."Could there be something important that he wants from me?"Ryvel walked up to Cindy and then hugged her intimately from behind.Cindy giggled softly in amusement."He's your father, Ryvel. Not mine. Try to understand his nature and character better.""Yeah, right..." Ryvel kissed the nape of the girl's neck while his two hands wrapped around her slender waist. "How about you become my teacher, hmm?""Oh, stop it for a second, would you?"Cindy giggled again and turned around with a dress in

"No one knows!"Ryvel frowned. "Why? Shouldn't everyone in this world know who the Emperor really is?""Be careful with your curiosity, son!"The father's piercing gaze silenced the son.Without even being told, Ryvel realized that this was a very sensitive issue.And that meant he was forbidden to bring it up anywhere, especially on Svarnabhumi grounds.Someone shouted outside, followed by shouts from others as well.Edwar Blackwood realized that their ship would soon be docking at the Eastern Main Harbor."Mark my words, son," he told Ryvel. "This is for our future."The son took a deep breath and left his father's room.The sun had shifted from its zenith to the west, in its last third, when six large ships tried to dock in one large harbor. One of them was the largest."Father..." Cindy Zircon leaned closer to her father. "This large harbor is not what I imagined."Demian Zircon smiled as he kept his pace down the ship."What did you expect, sweetheart?" her father replied. "All d

Mathias was silent in his steps.However, he was aware of the change within him. Not in the immense magical power he had gained, nor in the fact that his right hand, which had once been stumped, was now whole again.But, it was his attitude and his passionate desire to find everyone involved in his sister's suffering and death. And avenge his sister's death in the most sadistic way he could think of.Mathias?"I don't know..."Then he saw the light ahead and the breeze that seemed to greet him.He smiled and stepped faster."This is..."There were no words for Mathias when he arrived at the end of the path directly connected to a giant space.The underground room was huge with giant pillars supporting the roof.He was even more astonished when he looked down."Is it all gold?"He didn't need to wait for an answer from anyone. He didn't need to ask because what he saw wasn't a hallucination.Oh, be careful, young man!“I know...”Mathias gulped as he watched the heaping piles of gold i

The Giant Cave
What looks close turns out to require more energy and effort to reach. Plus, with a hungry stomach.Mathias could only refrain from swearing and continued eastward.It wasn't until the sun was on its highest throne, that the man arrived in front of a large cave mouth."I found you at last!" he smiled with satisfaction even though he felt his legs were sore.From his position, the cave looked quite bright, and he could even feel the breeze blowing from inside to outside.There was probably another cave mouth somewhere, he thought.However, the moment Mathias had just stepped into the cave, he could immediately feel a very strong pressure."Wh-What kind of aura is this?" he gulped with a frown.I told you, didn't I?"Oh, damn old man," Mathias snorted warily. Step by step he forced his way into the great cave. "You just said 'if', nothing more!"At least, I warned you."This feels very oppressive," he said, occasionally looking to the right and left.

Previously, he had heard that only two medium-sized islands not covered by snow in the entire Dakhsina region, Maca Island and Padang. Also, the supreme leader of the Larants did not specifically mention the condition of Sangga Langit Island to him.So..."There must be something causing the island to be snowless!"Are you scared?"Tck!" he snorted, the mysterious voice returning inside his head. "Why would I?"There could be a horrible creature there that you've never seen, never heard of."What a typical old man!" Mathias smirked. "You're so fond of saying things that aren't real, scaring your children with nonsensical tales!"I was trying to warn you, young man."Even if it were true," he said. "That won't stop me, Master Elosha. No matter what happens, I must avenge Alicia's death. After that, if the heavens desire my death, then I will gladly face it!"You know... you're already one step closer to the hell called despair."Oh, whatever you say!" Mathias let out a deep breath. "I

Being a demon or an angel, it's entirely your choice!"Tck!"Mathias jumped down from the alpha's body. He glanced around, there seemed to be no more threats on this island, he thought."You don't need to teach me," he muttered. "My goal is only one, to finish off those who have caused my sister to suffer!"Oh, young man... Revenge will only bring you to destruction."You can't stop me!"Whoosh!Mathias again used his wind magic which took him flying towards the next island.He smiled again as he realized that his flying speed was now a little better and faster than before."Yeah, maybe you're right!"***The shallow river that cut through the lush meadow had crystal-clear water, with its slow flow and white sandy bottom promising freshness to those who soaked in it.Cindy Zircon got up and climbed onto the bank of the river.

From the side where he landed, through the island's center, to the other side, Mathias found nothing that could be categorized as a threat.At least, he could save his strength and energy for his real purpose.Once again, he looked around before finally darting lightly and quickly to the next island.On the second island, when Mathias had just set foot, he heard the flapping wings of a large creature.He frowned as he found the source of the sound.A huge creature with a body almost as white as snow swooped towards him."Snow Claw, huh!" he muttered.Crash!Snowflakes flew as the creature the size of a full-grown tiger landed, then let out a mighty roar.Groarrr!Mathias had already leaped ahead, getting closer to the island's center.The creature was indeed similar to a male lion with its mane. Only, it had wide ears and a pair of wings like those of a bat. It was chasing the man furiously.As if he was playing with the creature, Mathias jumped from one tree to another.The creature

Heading to the Farthest Island
“People in those days used to say,” the Dyan continued, ”that the ship would only sail if someone with great magic asked it to.”“I see, huh?”“You said you wanted to get to Svarnabhumi as soon as possible, didn't you?”“Yeah... My only goal right now is for the people who are currently there. And I'm making sure that they won't escape my grasp!”For a glimpse, the middle-aged woman could see a streak of black light covering the eyes of the man beside her.Only, she had no desire to inquire further. However, she could sense that it was an extremely frightening aura.“So,” she said after clearing her throat once. “Your only hope is that old ship, young man. Although it's an old ship and not very big, it's still decent and powerful.”Mathias let out a deeper breath with his arms folded across his chest.From the look in his eyes, as if he could already see the ship in question, he grinned faintly.“Let me guess,” he said, ”the way to the island isn't that easy, am I wrong?”“That's what

Right then, the supreme leader of the Larants appeared in front of the cave mouth with six young women.The men bowed to her.The middle-aged woman approached Mathias and the others.“Do you like their meat?” she asked with a wide smile.Mathias smiled slightly. “I never knew.”“From what I hear,” said the Dyan, “the land of Purbha is so fertile and rich in natural resources, everything is abundant. So, it's only natural that you don't know or have never tried to taste the flesh of dragons.”“Yeah,” Mathias gave a small nod. “I suppose it is. But, that was a long time ago. Now, Purbha is just a dead land.”“You know, you have to be careful,” Rashmar continued. “Not all kinds of dragons you can eat their flesh. Most of them have deadly poison in their blood and even flesh.”“I'll keep that in mind,” Mathias sighed deeply.“Come with me!”Mathias complied with the Dyan's request. They disappeared at the mouth of the cave with the six young women.They led him to a branch of the cave tha

The burst of acid was just a precursor to the next attack.Two equally deadly jaws opened wide, moving quickly, pouncing on Mathias from two opposite directions.But the man let gravity play a role in calculating his movements. He fell so fast that the beast's jaws only cupped empty air.As he slid vertically, Mathias cast his magic to bring forth two bluish swords of light, one in his right hand and one in his left.The Hairy Worm closest to him, the left one, let out a tremendous squeal.The sword of light that was an extension of the man's hand pierced and tore through the creature's body, from top to bottom.Swiiing!As soon as his feet hit the ground, Mathias threw himself to the right, flying as he circled the other Hairy Worm.Crash!Slam!One Hairy Worm floundered, blood from its long wound splashing in all directions. It growled and shrieked in pain, then slammed hard into the ground. It wriggled briefly and then died.The one remaining beast roared even more fiercely, furiou

“We don't know what causes the earth to shake like this,” Arguan said. “However, the Dyan is right. We must show that we are worthy of acceptance in this land.”“I have no more fears,” said the man to Arguan's left.All eyes were on him.He lightly said, “After all, I don't have anyone else in this world to worry about me,” he continued with a shrug.“What a fool!” muttered the others.But Mathias understood the man. He had been and was in the same situation. To avenge Alicia's death, he wouldn't care about his own life.“There, over there!” Arguan pointed towards the mouth of the cave. “Quick, let's help them!”Upon arriving outside the cave, Mathias and the others were surprised by a pair of giant snake-like creatures with hairy bodies from head to tail.Groarrr!“What the hell is that?” Arguan widened his eyes.“White Serpent!” said another with an increasingly trembling and pale.“Hey!” a Larant shouted at Mathias' group. “Don't just stand there!
