Ashtria and the others halted in front of the lady. "Master," Alicia speaks looking at the lady who was looking at Ashtria as well, smiling at her. "You're Tori? But, you look like Aunt Miranda? You're Zail's woman, right? You're the mistress, do you know who am I? Do you know my identity?" Ashtria continuously asks questions to her. "Calm down, Your Highness. Yes, I am Tori, daughter of Miranda, your mother's friend," Tori answered and touched the necklace on her neck which made Ashtria's eyes drawn to it. She slowly removes it and handed it to Ashtria's hand which made her gasp looking at it. "This is yours, my mother just handed me this years ago, before she vanished as well," Tori added. Ashtria looks at her confusedly. "Vanish? Aunt Miranda vanish? H-how? If Aunt Miranda gives this to you, that means she knew about what happened to my parents and where my mother is," Ashtria said and trying to seek an answer from Tori. She just taps her shoulder and smiles at her. "It's not y
Ashtria together with Lucas and Tori was running to go back to the wooden house. They all halted when they saw the white round machines forming a circle. "What is that thing?" Lucas asks and looks around. "That's one of the latest machines that a famous scientist has made, it is made for game purposes. I didn't think Zail had these things in him, it's not impossible though since he is rich and had the power to do anything," Tori explained to them. They all look to the other side when they saw Sanya running to go with them. Ashtria and Lucas take a step to get closer to her but Tori and Sanya stop them immediately. "Wait! Try to throw something first," Sanya said and stops. She is meters away from them. Lucas was confused about what his sister has said but he still picks up a rock and throws it in front of him but nothing happened which surprised Sanya. "What? Nothing happened?" she asks confusedly and takes the rock that her brother throws. "What's gotten into you? Let's head i
They were all surprised by what they saw. They were looking at the robot girl as if they saw a ghost, Ashtria take her sword out and point it at the robot, and speaks. "Where is she?" The robot girl just snickers at what Ashtria has said. "Why are you pointing your sword to this little girl, princess? I don't know where she is, the master just told me–" the girl can't continue what she was about to say when Ashtria rip off her neck. Lucas kicks the robot's head out of the wooden house and looks at Ashtria. Sanya takes a step closer to the robot's body and takes it. "That is why something is fishy, but, if this robot knows your identity that means Zail knows you too, miss," Sanya speaks without looking at her. Ashtria gritted her teeth and clenched her fist because of the anger she had felt. If everyone slowly learns about her, it will be dangerous for her, so she wanted to go to Zail and quickly behead him. Amon and Kalden were still surprised and still looking at the robot's bod
They finally reach the Deathfort City and they saw people lying on the ground, some of them were drowning in their own blood. Even the guards who were guarding the game were found dead. They slowly walk at the City wandering their eyes around. Lucas, Ashtria, and Kalden were all wary of their surroundings, holding their swords tightly. All of them were walking silently and trying to find someone in each house they passes to. "So, where are we heading?" Kalden asks. "Let's just keep on walking until we find some hints somewhere," Ashtria replied while keeping on walking. Lucas on the other hand bends his knees and takes something from the dead guy's pocket. He saw gold in his pocket and he took it. "What are you doing, brother?" Sanya asks him. Lucas raises the golds in his hand and speaks. "I am not stealing. He's already dead, how can he use these golds? Besides, we also need this for the future." He place the golds in his pocket and started walking again. They've been walking f
Ashtria was heading towards the monster holding her sword tightly and tried to cut its leg but she can't cut it as its body was tough like a hard rock. Lucas also runs toward the monster with blood on his face caused by the impact that the monster gave him. He tried to cut one of his fingers but still, he can't cut it. Lucas steps backward and looks at the monster intently. He looks around but he can't find Ashtria anymore, as if she vanishes instantly. But after a moment, Ashtria appeared behind the monster and tried to slice his legs a couple of times until she was able to give him a scratch. The monster screamed in pain and anger. He turn his back and attack Ashtria with all his might using his four baseball bats but she was able to avoid the attack before it could hit her. Lucas was surprised when Ashtria didn't wear the mask that Kalden gave her, and the mask that helps her cover her face broke as well. She takes off her mask and throws it away from her. "This ugly monster, ma
Kalden quickly head towards Sanya when he heard her voice shouting in the basement. Sanya quickly helps Sanya untie Alicia's hand and take off the tape that was covering her mouth. "Can you walk?" Sanya asks while assisting Alicia to stand up. Alicia just nods her head as a response. Kalden finally reaches them and quickly carries Alicia out of the place. "Let's go!" Kalden shouts and they quickly run as fast as they can away from the bar. Seconds after, the place exploded and they all fell because of the impact caused by the explosions. They were all gasping for air as they sits on the ground looking at the burning place. "That was close," Sanya whispered and looked at Alicia, who had become unconscious. She examines her bruised and deep wounds as if she had been tortured before being tied to the chair. She clenches her fists and grits her teeth; if they saw Alicia like that, it's not impossible for the others to suffer the same fate. Bruises and deep wounds abound. Kalden stood u
Their ears can still hear the yelling and screaming. They did as Kalden instructed and remained silent while they all endured hearing people screaming in pain and begging for help. The screaming lasted for two hours and it suddenly become quiet again. Ashtria slowly looks at her wristwatch to look at the time it was not at nine in the evening. She looks at Kalden and Amon who were looking at her as well. Kalden gave her a sign to show him the time from her wristwatch. He saw that it is now nine in the evening which made him let out a heavy sigh. "What?" Ashtria asked Kalden quietly as he let out a heavy sigh, indicating that he was finally at ease."When the clock strikes at nine in the evening, the Vamptaur will vanish or their stomach is now full from eating their preys," Kalden responded but in a low tone of voice for someone on the outside won't hear him. All of them suddenly let out a heavy sigh as well, at the same time, except for Kalden, which made him surprised. All of you
Zail started laughing which made Ashtria stare at him confusedly. "I didn't expect you're here all of a sudden. Do you still have the strength after receiving too many bruises and severe wounds? That's a princess for ya, or should I say the daughter of the mighty Asherion?" Zail asks while keeps on laughing. Ashtria gritted her teeth looking at him. "How do you know who am I? You piece of sh*t," Ashtria cursed him still pointing her sword at him. Zail slowly approaches her and when he finally gets closer, he softly touches Ashtria's sword and stared at his eyes. "How could I not know you when your father was one of the top fighters that Archainians loved and was just killed because of betrayal? Of course, thanks to that useless little robot that I bought at Technicia City. She was able to get information from Tori," he said keeping on looking into her eyes. "I have fun watching the game," he added which made Ashtria slide her sword to cut his neck but Zail was able to stop it using
