At the Beast Brotherhood headquarters that was inside a massive forest known as the Beast Woods, which wasn’t even shown on the world map.In a tower built on top of a cliff from where the entire forest could be seen.Tenzin was smoking a drug made out of a certain leaf powder. This drug helped her better control her emotions as well as keep the demons in her in check.If one were to take drugs, it would generally open a gateway for the demons to enter that person’s body and wreak havoc to themselves and to others, but Tenzin had conquered the demons in her, so the drugs actually helped boost her abilities and give her greater control over herself.In the Beast’s language, they called those who subdued the demons as the Overcomer. There hadn’t been one in five generations, and so Tenzin was given the respect by almost everyone in the clan.Because her father died, many thought there’d be at least a skirmish among the seven masters to occupy the head’s position, but all of them voted f
A few minutes earlier.Ten heavy container trucks entered the Beast Woods and went in through the main entrance after getting security clearance done.They reached the local auction base and unloaded all the children and teenagers they had trafficked and brought over. There were more than five hundred of them in total, all of whom went missing in different countries in the past month or so.Fifty each were taken to ten different auction halls. Eight auction halls for the eight tribes, and the remaining two auction halls were for the guests that would come and spend some time in the Beast Woods.The children and teens looked terrified as they were displayed on the stage for the members of the brotherhood to see and buy as slaves.Most of these slaves would die in a week or two at best from torture, and anyone that would survive would be allowed to become a part of the brotherhood.Currently, Demon Dwarf was in one of these auction halls. He received a lot of attention because he wasn’t
As Stanley watched, the Master Tower was gone in the blink of an eye, thanks to Tenzin’s ruthless attack. Many people that were in the tower perished in the fraction of an eye.Stanley was glad that he had left the tower in time.Nevertheless, the earthquake shook the entire Beast Woods, and the cold chilling wave that spread all around made many people freeze in their tracks. They didn’t know what was going on. They just felt paralyzed by the breeze. It was as if their bodies cooled down very quickly against their will. Like deer freezing to death in snow, people began to freeze up.Even Stanely was frozen initially because he was very close to the tower, but he was able to break himself free. And he found himself panting. “That was close. If I was late to react, I would have gotten frozen to the bone.” He then looked up at the sky. The barrier itself was frozen in a thin layer of white ice, so he couldn’t see Tenzin right now. “To think she’s using the power of the underworld right
“You’re not going to put your foot on the ground again, Jim,” Tenzin pulled Jim’s body with the help of her soul-pulling pot.She then thrust her trident at him while spinning it. “Heaven Breaker!”Jim forced himself to maneuver through the midair and dodged the trident before punching at the pot. “Soul Breaking Fist!”It felt like hitting a strong force that repelled him. He pushed it back and managed to put cracks on the pot.The cracks soon spread, and the pot broke into bits.She twisted her wrist and bent it so that the trident now flew at Jim again. He blocked it with his bare palm. A layer of spiritual vivre repelled the spear, making it bounce out of her hand.Tenzin grabbed the air and conjured a scarf-like cloud, which grew in size and swiftly wrapped itself around Jim’s body and then went onto wrap itself around his throat and squeezed him.“HAA!” He howled, and his sheer roar was able to make the cloud scarf disperse and fade away. The clouds around them spread away. Even
Both were attacking each other viciously, but neither of their attacks quite damaged the other.“Crescent Demon Kick!” Tenzin crafted a crescent-shaped kick that Jim deflected, which then went on to cut through clouds for miles in the path.“Dual Meteor Blitz!” Tenzin backed it with a chain of punches that were destructive and hot enough to erase district-sized lands from the face of the earth.Jim tanked these heavy-handed punches without even using vivre. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to use vivre but just that he couldn’t.However, now that Tenzin’s attacks turned from being cold to hot, this helped Jim steadily regain his ability to use vivre.Like a volcano bursting out at once, Jim unleashed vivre attacks one after another.“Ethereal Monkey Barrage!”“Celestial Phoenix Whip!”“Million Pound Spear Shock!”All these attacks didn’t just trouble her but made her bleed. The last attack especially ripped her shirt to pieces and badly hurt her organs. She bled from her eyes, nose, and
The pillar of black flame made most souls on the island go crazy. All lifeforms were affected, whether it be humans, animals, bugs, or worms hiding underground. Such was the power of the radiation the demonic energy had.Gabe, who was fighting the seven masters, had to pause and look at the pillar of fire, and he could see the smiling faces of thousands of demons manifesting in that.“Damn… Were they all living in that woman?” Gabe wondered. “There are thousands of them.”The seven masters, who were significantly injured, had to flee now. And they bailed in different directions.Gabe didn’t bother chasing them now as black flames shot out in every direction and caused further destruction.The pillar of fire moved like a living tornado.Gabe was about to move toward it, but then the black flame pillar was burned by up a white light. The demons screamed in pain and anger as they had no choice but to disappear from the world of living now.“So he’s alive…”Gabe’s expression was still seri
Gabe stayed behind on the Beast Woods and arranged planes for the slave survivors. Though there were still many survivors of the beast brotherhood, none of them fought him because many had tried and miserably failed.He commanded the animals on the island to help the wounded, even the ones that were part of the brotherhood.Instead of killing them, he took pity on them and gave them another chance. Some thanked him, but some still saw him as an enemy that must one day be erased.After taking care of things on this island, Gabe was heading back home on his wolf Reyes. He was holding a blue crystal in his palm. It was colder than ice. It wouldn’t have stayed solid at normal temperature and would have evaporated into thin vapor, but Gabe was keeping its form intact with the help of his energy.“A piece of the firmament,” he smiled slightly. “The proof that we live in a sealed system. I’ll show this beautiful piece of handiwork to Mia and the kids.”Meanwhile, somewhere else in the city.
The woman in the pink shorts came home.Her house was built in 15,000 sqft, and it was worth over five million dollars.Her dad, a strongly built man, was eating snacks outside in the cool evening breeze. “The watermelons are very sweet today. Come and grab some, Caylene.”“Sure, Dad,” she sat down and ate the deseeded watermelons and loved their taste. “Yeah, they are good.”“Tomorrow, there’s a board meeting at the company. I want you to come with me so that you’ll get an idea of how things work.”“I’m not interested, though,” she said.“Just come and watch. That’s all I’m asking,” he said. “I have shares in many companies, but none like the Draknor Finance. All businesses pale in front of finance. Even real estate doesn’t hold a candle to it in the long run. That’s why we must put our focus on this company so that our influence will grow in that company. The more shares we buy, the more secure our future will be.”“Since you are insisting that much, I’ll come,” she said.“Good girl
