They looked at the city at their back surprised to see it obliterated. Smoke and debris could be seen everywhere. Buildings had crumbled and were black and charred. Tsuoma began to hear sounds.
Crack! Cough!He heard a cracking sound and a feminine voice coughing. He went to the place and saw a girl in tears. A log of wood was on her leg and she was struggling with it. Tsuoma saw a dead boy near her. He was burnt to a crisp and he was clutching a bit of the girl's clothing. He had protected her. The girl began to wail and the rest of the team ran to where they were, Teruki gagged and vomited. She touched the girl and saw everything that happened to her and she also began to feel the girl's pain.Tsuoma patted Teruki who was weeping. He touched the girl and a white magic circle appeared above her and a green light overshadowed her. Her wounds began to heal and color began to return to her cheeks. He raised her up and saw she was a little girl. “How old are you my dear?“ He asked in a soothing voice. The girl looked scared and held him tight. She buried her face in his chest. “My name is Isma Seberg, i am fourteen years old.“ She replied with tears coloring her tone. “He was your brother.“ He said pointing at the boy crushed underneath the rubbles. Isma could only cry out.“She has potential to grow into a strong mage, i guarantee that, take her with you.“ The goddess said to him from his mind. “Goddess, why not get a body among the dead, they are dead and shouldn't mind if a goddess possess them.“ Tsuoma replied.“That's true, i will give them a second chance of living by reincarnation. But I have to do that with a body.“ Tsuoma felt something leaving him. He touched the girl's red hair. “Allow me to be your brother, come with me and I will protect you, my sister.“ The girl looked up at Tsuoma and tears began dropping from her face. He cleaned her face and smiled at her. She smiled as her cheeks took a shade of pink and she replied in the most calm and innocent voice. “Yes.“Agnolia waved her hand and the city began to reconstruct. The damages began to clear. Those who were injured got up as their wounds healed up. Everything went back to normal but those that were dead couldn't be revived. She held her chest as she gasped for breath. “Healing five hundred people and restoring a thousand buildings sure can take it's toll on someone. Unfortunately I can't raise the dead.“ She said and stooped down. Tsuoma checked her status.STATSName: Agnolia TevorSpecie: Human, MageRank: Level 150, rank SSHealth: 9500/10000Agility: 5000/5000Speed: 6000/6000Strength: 3800/4000Stamina: 4500/5000Mana: 3000/9000Magic Used: Theurgy, Forge, Elemental Magic, Dark Magic, Conjuring, Shapeshifting, Thaw, Creation Magic, Restoration Magic, Death Glare, Hypnosis, Appraisal eyes.“She really is something else, imagine those stats, and she has the appraisal eyes, but you said i am the only one who has it.“ He said inwardly but didn't get a reply. “I forgot she wasn't there. I am sure she will find me, she has a lot of questions to answer.“They were transported to Berserker Guild by Sasha, she did this with a magic skill of hers, all she had to do was store a place in her memory and when she wants to get there, think about it. “Carrying all of you took out all my strength, here is the basilisk head, i will join you inside.“ She said and gave the head to Natael who carried them carefully as if the dead basilisk still posed a threat.Inside the guild was a lot of noise, the guild became silent when he entered with the head. They looked at him in awe. The rest came in and Sasha dragged her self inside and fell asleep on the bare floor not minding if it was dirty or not. The guild master came out with the Kitsune and his face looked disgusted. He obviously wanted them to fail the task. Tsuoma walked to the front of the vampire and looked directly at him. “We won, so I would like to tell you the things I need.“ The vampire smirked. “I tell you what you will do kid, if you can defeat the second strongest member here, i will give your word a consideration.“The guild members became restless as they whispered among themselves in fear. Tsuoma looked around and felt the fear of these people, the second strongest member must be really strong then but then he had a lot of crazy skill sets. Mr. Armand please do not call in the beast, you can continue giving me stupid missions but please do not let the beast fight my new friend.“ Natael said with fear in his tone. Tsuoma chuckled. “Hey Natael, it's okay, i can take care of myself, i will beat whoever this beast is. I promise.“ He said and winked though underneath he was worried. Agnolia checked his status with her appraisal eyes.“Interesting, i can't penetrate into his stat defenses, why not boost myself up a bit.“ A little magic circle appeared in her right eye and she saw his status. “Fake out skill, what then is his real status, well i will find out. The guild began to shake as footsteps could be heard, the drinks spilled and the food poured. The door was flinged away from it's hinges, the guild members shouted as a muscular man of about six feet entered inside. His chain mail was decorated with stars, his black trousers was perfectly neat and his white brouge shoes were stained with blood. A blue cape was at his back and he had a lightning scar near his left eye. His shoulder carried an orc and he dropped it down making a vibration occur around. “Mission accomplished, na for some hot bath.“ “Before you go Midrash, i wanna give you a new toy to play with.“ “uh, vampire, whaddya think ya doing, i can't miss me precious bath ya know.“ “Even if it's for a toy with wings.“ “A toy with wings, where's tha lucky toy?“ Armand pointed to Tsuoma. “Tha kid, righto, ya kid, whaddya wanna fight, ya gonna lose ya know, I be a dragon born, you gat na chance, why doncha appo to guild master and ya don hafta be beaten.“ Tsuoma ignored him and punched him hard at the mouth. The big man didn't move or flinch, it looked like a paper touching a rock. “ya wanna do it.“ He raised his fist and punched Tsuoma's chest. Tsuoma gagged and spat out blood as he was sent through a back door breaking it apart immediately.Crack!The sound of bone crushing could be heard as Tsuoma stood up weakly only to fall down again. A blur appeared to him and kicked his ribs. Tsuoma yelled in pain. Midrash carried Tsuoma and smashed his knee on his spine, he grabbed his legs and elbowed them eliciting a scream from him. He threw him up and Midrash jumped high up and using his shin kicked him down and ripping the floor apart.Crack! Crack! Crack!Multiple sounds of crashing bones could be heard as Tsuoma tried again to stand. “I was a fool to attack without studying his status, thank goodness I have the healing skill but for now I have to avoid any of those punches or kicks, they are brutal.He then checked out the status of the dragon born.STATSName: Midrash BohrghSpecie: DragonbornRank: Level 95, Rank A+Health: 3000/3000Agility: 2000/2000Speed: 2000/2000Strength: 3500/3500Stamina: 2500/2500Mana: 4000/4000Magic Used: Fire magic, Earth Magic, Dragon Magic, Shapeshifting, Transmogrification, Thaw, Flight Magic, Teleportation, Telepathy ( limited only to beasts).“He's higher than me in everything, except mana.“ He groaned weakly.Tsuoma's mana was depleting fast as he used it to heal himself but the dragon born was too fast for his healing powers. Midrash carried Tsuoma from the neck and smashed him down, doing this again and again. He then threw him to some rocks. Tsuoma was fading in and out of consciousness. He then saw the panel glowing in golden colour, the golden glow covered him and all his wounds began healing up. The onlookers were surprised at what was going on. Midrash ran to punch Tsuoma but a force sent him reeling back. Tsuoma levitated up as the glow covered him. Agnolia was bemused. “My my, he sure has leveled up.STATSName: Tsuoma SadeoSpecie: Human, MageRank: Level 200, Rank Z, Alpha Rank.Health: 20000/20000Agility: 10000/10000Speed: 10000/10000Strength: 10000/10000Stamina: 10000/10000Mana: 15000/15000Magic Used: Sword Magic, Dark Magic Holy Magic, Light Magic, Creation Magic, Healing Magic, Death Glare, Curse Magic, Synthesis, Theurgy, Photographic Reflexes, Elemental Magic, Flight Magic.Apart from leveling up, he had also gained new powers. The aura coming from him was causing a huge wind which was tearing some things apart. His sword fell from his body as he floated up and concentrated a massive fire beam which was expanding. Agnolia was lost for words. She studied the components of the fire. “If that fire touches down, it will wipe out this city as the fire will keep on going destroying everything it touches, we have to stop him from releasing it.“ “How, the wind around him is causing a biting gale, no one can go near….“ Natael couldn't finish his statement as a blur passed him, it was Teruki. “No, Miss Teruki, he's too dangerous to be with.“Teruki ignored all what he said as she jumped and caught Tsuoma's leg. The wind was biting into her. Tsuoma's eyes had changed to gold and he looked at her with the death glare. She began to feel her body becoming light. “I won't let you go Tsuoma, even if I lose my life, I love you Tsuoma.“ She smiled and fell down limply. Her smile frozen forever. “Oh no, what's with that eye?“ Emile asked shocked. “He got it from the Basilisk, he used the death glare, no one can survive from that, not even a demon. Tsuoma's eyes were flicking on and off and he saw Teruki on the floor gradually turning into stone. “No! Teruki!“The fire vanished and he floated down to meet her, he touched her body and tried to resuscitate her. He began to weep heavily and then he stooped and kissed her in the mouth. A golden glow covered her and she began to change back to normal. She opened her eyes and saw the tear stained face of Tsuoma. He raised her to his chest. “I am so glad you did not die, Teruki, thank goodness.“ He said hugging her tight as tears flowed freely from his eyes. Teruki just looked like one who had just been born.After the fight which was decided as a stalemate. Tsuoma was given the right to form his own party. But until he finds all the members, he would have to work with Natael's party. He accepted this offer and he, Teruki, Agnolia joined the party. The princess and the holy knight moved around the city in disguises. The princess was worried about how the people were being treated, most of the halflings were treated unfairly and even the Holy Knights were butchered.Emile came across a young woman of probably seventeen years old who was wearing an hoodie to cover her face, she stole a loaf of bread and ran, the owner of the stall saw her.“Hey, get back here, you thieving pest. Guards, get that bastard.“The young lady was pursued hotly by the guards, a spear was thrown at her legs but she kept on running. “Hey Airen, let's follow that girl.“The holy knight looked around and followed the princess. The girl ran into a closed up area and the men rounded up to her. One of them grinned evilly.
They were called “The Striking Vipers.” They were regarded as the strongest party because the members were all over powerful.Tsuoma Sadeo was the leader and Teruki was the assistant.The members of the party were, Tsuoma, Teruki, Agnolia, Tiatha, Sigrid, Jikoki and Ashrua. The party had a guardian, the supreme mage, the strongest swordsman, an empath, a goddess, an elf and a kitsune. None in the guild wanted to meddle in their affairs. The Dragon Party were the only ones who could be with them and Tsuoma had gotten them a new member or members, the sisters of Ashrua, Kuri and Haemta. Though younger and less powerful than their elder brother, they were more than enough to take down great monsters on their own. The duo used Lightning and Water spirits for their attack and defense. Though limited to one spirit, they were still very powerful to defeat monsters. And when they combined as one entity, their powers skyrocket and they are called Guardian Primus.THE GUARDIANS! The Gu
The environment is cloudy as little drops of rain splattered down, making splattering noises on the rooftops of houses around. A boy holding a sword in it's sheath is seen running and smiling under the rain.Darkness smiled on the earth and the environment is saved from the piercing darkness with translucent illuminated neon light bulbs. Different scents wafted through his nostrils. He smiled in satisfaction as he ran. He saw people open up their shops.He passed a woman selling various weapons and equipments. He always fancied a golden sword sheath with dragon design. It was four thousand yen and he had been saving up his feeding allowance to buy the sword sheath. He had three thousand yen and he hoped to get the remaining from his father. His father owned a dojo where he trained young boys in his Sadeo sword technique. There were many dojos in that city and they all had different sword techniques. Most times, competitions were held to determine the best dojo in Japan.He got home an
The knight and the princess gets to a cave to catch their breaths. Do you think she would be able to hold them off? The knight asked in concern. The princess smiled. Don't worry, its Agnolia the strongest Mage we are talking about here, she would handle them just fine like fodder. Anyway guide the entrance as I prepare to summon him. Yes milady, but i have a question, why can't lady Agnolia summon the hero. Well, she might be the most powerful mage but she needs to be connected to royalty in order to cast the other worldly spell. She can do it but the goddess said she was destined to protect me from anyone who might want to stop the summoning and also she has dark powers which might corrupt the summoned. I hope she comes soon, i feel like all my powers would go away.The knight went outside and patrolled the area holding his sword tightly while observing the princess.She drew a magic circle with a triangle inside and she took her dagger and cut her hand sending blood to the circle.
The lead boy who presumably killed the beast finally looked around and saw the duo. “We didn't catch your kill did we, though it looked like you were hesitant to kill the Elehorse. Oh by the way my name is Natael, head of the Dragon Party, we are an adventurous group. I will tell you about the others later but for now we have to get out of here before more of them come. Sasha, care to help with the beast. He said to a gi0rl who looked like she hated what she was doing.” “Aye, what a bother.” She walked to the beast and touched it, a blue magic circle appeared over the beast and sucked it inside. “Now let's get out of here.” The seven of them ran up to a cliff and hid behind it as they heard groaning sounds. Another member of the party conjured a tent to block the sun. “We can stay here for a while until the Elehorses finish their parade. It would be a terror if we are ambushed by them. But before that I would like us to introduce ourselves. As you know already, my name is Natael Fe
The Dragon party got to the boy's house. They saw a dilapidated and old building which was looking strained. The outside was overgrown with weeds and thorns. The house was loosing it's paint. The inside was no better as cobwebs filled the house.The party were shocked at the structure of the building.They were led to a room where a woman is laid on a bed and shivering despite having thick wrappers on her.Tsuoma's appraisal eyes opened and he saw the woman had a curse on her. A high level curse which had merged with her and was draining her life force.His eyes scanned around. “Damn, a demon is the cause of this, he is still here.“ Tsuoma looked around and saw a giant spider bigger than a tarantula lurking above Natael. “Natael, above you, a giant Drake Gustof.“ His eyes had shown him the specie of the spider which wasn't on Earth. He knew the spider was dangerous as all of the members of the party brought out very dangerous weapons, even Miles was on an edge. Tsuoma wondered what
The guild was located at the centre of the town with its blazing logo. No one could miss the logo. Tsuoma and the Dragon Party entered into the guild seeing many people. “They are still here, I thought they went on a mission.“ Natael said pointing to a set of seven young men huddled together. “Hey, Natael, seems we finished earlier than you.“ One of the boys said upon seeing Natael and came to meet him. “Ooh, you brought guests, will they join your party to make it a complete party, i am sure you have bribed them to accept, knowing you have to have seven members inorder to go on D class missions like we do, you are on E class missions, why are you not satisfied, I assure you, D class missions are difficult, now you bring them to the guild to be registered. Am I right or right?“Tsuoma looked at the party seeing them angry. He decided to check the status of the boys in the party.The name of the party was Salamander Party. The leader who was talking to Natael had just few things superio
“Hello kids, you must have surely heard of me right. Hmm that scent, you two are not from this world aye, heroes.“ She said as she looked at Tsuoma and Teruki.Sigrid stirred up in Tsuoma's mind.“That is Urea, one of the most powerful demons, he is speaking through her, even I had a problem battling him during the war.““Hello humans, I see you were able to kill my basilisk. It's ok, I only wish to speak to him.“ She said pointing at Tsuoma. They all raised their weapons but they couldn't move. Time had stopped and only Tsuoma, Teruki and the Empress weren't affected. “Interesting, she is not affected, perchance she is connected to your life source, so killing you kills her. Interesting, I have learnt something important today. And now I will kill you even before your heroic adventure begins.“ She raised her hands and dark red energy be began forming and taking the shape of spears. “It's over. Crushing god spears. These technique was used to destroy the god's during the war, so lo
