- We must retreat! I moved to Redbeard, fighting off the Nightlights. We can't take this creature. Take a look at him.The beard looked at the Leader, helplessness reflected on his face.- Take everyone away, I'll try to detain him for a while. Run to the very edge of the crater and press close to the wall.- To Wall?! Maybe from the wall? Redbeard was confused.- You heard right! To Wall!!! I barked.Everyone rushed headlong to the wall. The nightlights were standing near their leader, who looked at me intimidatingly with his red eyes. He began to walk around me, and on his mouth I noticed a small predatory grin.Well, let's fight...With a wave, I threw the sword, the weapon bit into the ground near the uncomprehending Leader. My armor began to glow white until it changed.Used Superspace, and the air seemed to explode. I ended up next to the Leader.- White Dragon Mode!Pulling the sword out of the ground, he split the Leader in half, separating the pelvis. His body falls, but befo
- Do you like to eat? I asked Louis.- I love.- They too. They just ate a lot and waved under five meters. There is no need to condemn them. Look what lovely creatures.A boy and a girl sat in front of us and watched. Also firefighters.- Guys, tell me your names."I'm Lar," the guy said."Miranda," the girl said.Did you pick herbs? Everyone showed me the grass in their hand. “Fine, now go down to them and approach with the grass in your outstretched hand very slowly."What if they attack us?" Lar asked.- They won't attack. These beasts are friendly if you treat them well... but if it happens that they want to attack you, run and hide in the sewers. You won't have any other choice. I can't help you, my body hasn't returned to normal yet.How do you know so much about them? Miranda asked.“That's not what you need to think about right now. Soon it will be dark and Black water will come out into the street. So go ahead!A flock of Hounds sat below and ate grass.The book says they ar
The moment on the mountain of spirits began to creep into my head ... the moment of the battle between Beelzebub at the moment of the war of factions.~~~A huge mountain from which boulders in magma flew out was surrounded by blue and green flames.The firmament with three moons was dotted with huge stars.At the top of the mountain, fighting in a deadly duel, two flames raged: blue and green. Around the mountain there were Gods that, having fallen into the flame, turned into cold or hot dust, or fell having lost all their mind, leaving not even a grain.- And it's all?!A green flame, in the form of a human, stood beside its fallen brother, the blue flame. Beelzebub was insane, and his insane gaze was like magma. Leaning over his brother, who was barely on fire, he muttered:“Mephisto, brother… everything will change soon,” Beelzebub said mysteriously. Our world is about to change! I'm feeling it! And so I will give you a chance to save! After all, if the world changes, then you wil
I lie like this, sip soup and enjoy life. How good. For all the sewerage, I have one bed. It's true, I'm sick. Even placed in the tower. This is great!Knocking, Redbeard came in. The man was joyful, and his fiery beard seemed to become brighter.- How do you feel?- It's fine ... however, the bandages all over my body are tired, I've been lying in them for three days.“Those were the last bandages,” the man clarified, “so don’t complain. Also, I sent your team a message yesterday that you're alive and the location of our house.- What did you do? I was horrified as I got out of bed. What time did you send the message?!- Let me think. Somewhere in the morning,” he looked at me and read from my face that I was in wild fear. "Alester, what's wrong with you?" You're so afraid of your…” Before he could say, we heard a woman's cry from downstairs, which is painfully familiar to me.I, swaying, and through the pain ran to the window. Looked carefully. The crowd near the gate parted, launch
“You really are crazy. Rumors don't lie.— What did you hear? I decided to take an interest while there is such a chance.“Your squad has become the youngest shock squad. You were sent without due, one might say, preparation to the outside world from the Academy, they conducted a test, and now you five passed. You were able to kill the God of the third generation, the weakest, since he only gained the rank of "B". This already says that you are not weak, but not strong enough either. Fought in the Arena with Amedeo. If he had fought at full strength, a couple of seconds - and you would have died. He was able to rescue his comrades from captivity by defeating the Demigod. And after that he was nicknamed the White Dragon. Half of the detachments hate and despises you, but half of them, almost all of them, - Zhanna chuckled. - It seems that you can do something, but looking at you, the situation is depressing. Titan is dangerous and you are too green. In addition, it is better to enlist
Behind me, Aran laughed. He was clearly expecting this. I didn't even know he was so mean. Even Vanya is surprised by his behavior.Make a note. Don't anger Aran... I digress.“Your magic is weak,” I shook my head at Christopher, who fell from shock. — What can you do? I squatted down and grabbed my head. “I don’t understand anything, at first I thought you were a formidable leader, a bully who likes to offend everyone. But you're so weak that I want to cry. My people detector was broken.“I'm stronger than you,” Christopher began to spit. Valera, kill him.The Russian Bogatyr, throwing his sword over his shoulder, stood in front of me."Don't worry," he approached me. “You know, we Russians have a saying, don’t look a gift horse in the mouth…- What are you talking about? - I said.“I don’t know, it just sounds cool.” His sword turned green, as did his shield. “Now I will kill you.I raised my hand - a glove from my armor flew in and immediately sat on my hand, now I'm with Mephisto.
Going back to Macbeth and his team, I sat down on a chair, thought for a moment, and then asked:“In general, you know how to charge barrier stones and use them?”***Morning. As always cold and nasty. I hate this time.Katya, are you ready?"Yes, I'm ready." She put on a belt with barrier stones. Don't look like that, everything will be fine.- I have no doubt. But if something goes wrong... I'll get you out, remember that!“Okay,” I heard a chuckle from under the mask.My team and Macbeth were in the city center. Half an hour ago, we dragged a huge barrier stone and drove it into the ground. Katya went to the stone and buried the small stones of the barrier around it.Near me was my team, along with Jeanne and Macbeth's team, which gave me no reason to trust. Jonathan kept looking at Katya and smiling obscenely.If he keeps staring at her like that, I'll kill him.— Are you angry? Eva squinted slyly. Are you jealous of Katya?"No," I put my arm around Eva's shoulders. “I'm just look
The flash exploded. He came out of the explosion with a scorched head.— Yes, how are you? .. — before God had time to finish, Katya pierced his chest with a sword."Alester, finish him off!" Katya screamed.Vanya and Aran, by Space, ended up with God, plunged their blades into their palms, nailing his hands to the ground.The God of Fertility fell to his knees.“Here I am,” I moved to God, grinning.Before I had time to use magic, he used the roots of the trees again and pushed us back.Where the hell is Eve?I looked around; Eve fought Macbeth. They fight equally. Although he is not as strong as some commanders, you still need to keep your eyes open.“Good, mortals. Girl,” he turned to Katya. “Two centimeters to the right and you would have killed me,” then he glanced at me. "Tell me where the sign is from, and I'll leave." I swear!— I got it two weeks ago. It's just a drawing that doesn't mean anything."You're lying," boomed the voice of God. - I feel a lie.The guys were devasta
The Rancia empire prospered. Those terrible times when the Ransians fearfully expected the birth of their own children are far behind. With the accession to the throne of the new emperor Claude re Tigras the First and Empress Daisyre re Tigras, the people stopped living in fear and excitement. Now every Ransian, human or not, had the same right to life and happiness. The persecution of non-humans stopped, because the ruling family also did not belong to the human race, mixed marriages began to appear more often, and cities grew. Life became calmer, now the imperials were not afraid to travel between cities, risking being in the mouth of some monster. All creatures, of course, did not disappear, but as a result of a number of innovations introduced by Claude from the experience of his mercenary life, they greatly facilitate the fight against these creatures, forced them to go away from human habitation or hide deep in their holes. Man again became the dominant race on the planet, and e
- Oh, those boys. Alita purred as she slid off her man's lap and sat down on Claude's bed. “In general, sweetheart, when we burst into the hall, we only made it to the finale, when you, with completely wild eyes, rushed towards the door until you stretched out on the floor, not having reached us a few steps. And then Alexander quickly stepped forward, ordering that you be lifted and taken to the imperial chambers and called for a doctor, and then he explained to everyone present that according to some ancient law, I don’t know where he dug it up, you become the next emperor, taking the place of the deposed you ruler. We didn't even believe what we heard. You are Claude and the emperor. It sounded kind of unbelievable. And to be honest, they also managed to catch this cold, so they thought it was the result of a fever. But as it turned out, no, they heard right and you were really glorified as the future emperor. He cleverly organized everything here. So even the few dissatisfied witne
- Infections... It's people like me that you call an infection?- Yes. To be honest, I even liked you a little, not often non-humans managed to hide from my eye for so long, and your stupid principles ... naive, frankly childish, but noble, made me smile. However, the fact that you are a monster cannot be changed and you have no other destiny than to die.“It’s like seeing which one of us is a monster.— Ha! Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror?“Appearance says nothing about a person. Yes, my eyes and ears are different from human, but there is much less blood on my hands than on yours.- What are you talking about. Turn around. All these people could live if not for you.“My fault for their death is no less than the one who set them on me. At least I was only defending myself, not sending them to their deaths.They died because they were doing their duty.Or because they were left with no choice.This conversation did not lead them anywhere, without bringing clarity or sat
And now only three of them remained, the horses carried the tired mercenaries forward, whipping dust into the air and crumbling the age-old stone into the sand. Two hot streams of steam escaped the air from the wide, nervously quivering nostrils of the driven horses. No one believed that they would catch up with the warrior, only hoping that the emperor would not realize his terrifying plan immediately upon the arrival of his assistant. On the horizon in front of them rose the towers of San Pen, brightening up the dull landscape with each kilometer growing higher and higher, delighting and frightening at the same time. Claude did not know what awaited them in the capital, for the first time he did not have at least some slightly thought-out plan, only one desire to be in time, not to be late, to stop. Inside, everything was shrinking from a bad premonition, but the guy drove away uninvited thoughts. You should never take on a job with a gloomy attitude to its failure, otherwise, every
Leata's voice broke through her rage-clouded consciousness. "Finally!" the guy exhaled, looking at the best thing to do in order to retreat without consequences for his health and life. It was not far to go, the creatures had already almost pressed him to the failure, from which the mercenary was separated by several steps, he needed only a couple of three seconds to get the coveted vial and jump over to the other side. Taking a step back, he seized the sword more comfortably and threw the dagger at the creature closest to him, slashing the blade across the entire expanse available to him and forcing the creatures to retreat a couple of steps. Here are his seconds. Rushing back, he removed the blade with one hand, and with the other he felt for the coveted cork. Which is specially marked so as not to be confused with others. The previous experience of using this remedy in the battle with sectroses taught him decently, but there was no time to sip drop by drop. Let it be what will be.
Aiyana, hurry up. Something is not happening.- One more second. Here it is! - the girl purred enthusiastically, pressing the lever near the capsule, and completely not noticing what was happening around.- We have no time. It's time to go.- Not! Until I find it, I won't leave.- Crap! Is it worth your life?- Yes!Discouraged by the answer, the mercenary fell silent for a few seconds. That's devotion! She could be admired if he and his comrades of life did not depend on her.Tell me what to look for! - finally, unable to stand it, he grunted, finally entering the room and feeling the cold enveloping from all sides.- You don't know the language.But I can see. I'll find it by sight. Show me or we'll all stay here.She did not argue further, obediently showing what symbols she had to find. There were few of them, at most four, of which one was a letter, and the rest resembled modern numbers. It was not even a name, but rather a code. He moved along the nearest shelving unit, running
At Leata's remark, Claude only shook his head, as they approached the ruins, Leatrice became more and more irritable and angry. He did not know what was eating her, most likely she was also afraid. After a quick bite, they hit the road. The sounds that accompanied their breakfast didn't help their appetite, and neither did their conversation. In anticipation of a meeting with the owners of these voices, people unanimously grew gloomy, but walked, carefully looking around. It gradually began to get light around, mischievous rays gently ran across the grass, reflected in drops of dew, flashed on people's weapons, playfully looking into their eyes and blossomed with a gloomy rainbow, reflected from the surface of the lake. The one that Leata called the "Lake of the Dead". For what it received such a name, no one knew, but the assumptions were different. Maybe the ancients drowned their dead in it, or maybe this is due to some mysterious story, since the lake was no different from its cou
- What the hell! cried Claude with a loud splash as he went under the water. The turbulent river picked up its prey with the joy of a small child who discovered in his power a toy he had long desired. The big man was twisted and twisted, sometimes hitting the side of the shell. Water clogged in his mouth, nose, forcing him to spit, smearing haze before his eyes. You can't give up! Claude remembered that he was not alone in the water, but he did not have time to really see the creature that had so cleverly discounted him. However, this did not give a reason to underestimate her. Ripping up the water with powerful strokes, he forced himself to swim up. Thank the Gods, he did not have time to take aside. The shell, like a native, clung to him, dragging him along, trying in vain to pull him under him. The body already almost did not obey him, bound by a terrible cold. Pushing off from the surface of the water, Claude desperately jumped up in an unsuccessful attempt to grab the edge, feeli
— Falcon. Daisyra prompted, following his gaze. For her, this distance was not a problem. - Beautiful.- Yes. And lonely.- How are you!- What did you get?“This is how we met you in that tavern.- When it was. Seems like another life.- Yes. And I'm glad we met.- And I.They had a strange conversation, they seemed to be talking and at the same time not. Pictures of their meeting floated before his eyes, taken apart by the words of the girl, and seeing himself, he looked and did not recognize. Now he was no longer the same person. Claude has changed. Becoming somehow something ... more integral, but still in his chest did not want to melt a tight lump that appeared there in childhood, as if not allowing him to free himself from the cage created by himself.- For me, he is not alone, but strong. Rolk muttered thoughtfully.— Who are you talking about? Caer joined in, also following his eyes sparkling in the rays of the sun, following the bird circling above them.- About both.“We wi
