Mountain body…

Like a mountain, rough and sturdy…

Able to withstand countless weathering…

Lofty and imposing…

These words, often used to describe a majestic mountain, were now used to describe the attributes of the rule Colonel Vehe applied to himself.

With this rule in effect, colonel Vehe’s body grew half a size bigger instantly, and clear veiny lines formed on his skin, giving it a rough appearance like that of tree bark. The color of his skin also turned a light gray as a deep earthy feeling surrounded him.

The mountain body rule granted the colonel’s body the attributes of a mountain, making his body strong, which greatly increased his defense and sturdiness, enabling him to withstand the counterforce from the previous punch. With this, he managed to regain his balance in the air and come to a halt, no longer retreating.

Not only that, but the sinister power that wanted to drill into Colonel Vehe’s body was also effectively blocked.

The colonel was only sent flying a few meters a

    Bang!Once again, colonel Vehe tanked a powerful blow from the decadent horror whose massive fist hit like a freighter. The impact rocked the colonel’s body as he felt a massive force like a tsunami wash over him in an attempt to break and scatter his body.In response, colonel Vehe’s mountain body like a stalwart beam, stood steadfast against the oncoming wave.Thick veins formed patterns like earthen grooves, his muscles contorted and wriggled like worms which moved along with the wave of power, delivering and dissipating the force of the punch evenly across the colonel’s entire body.With a single step back for support, the colonel’s hunched spine which he had kept low to receive the blow swiftly straightened, his reinforced bones giving off low whines as the force of the horror’s blow was broken and redirected outside and to the side of Colonel Vehe.Colonel Vehe was excited. This was the first time he had received the decadent horror attack without retreating in the slightest.Hi

    The cheerful voice ringing out in the silent intercom drew everybody’s attention to the back of the battlefield. There a lithe figure floated all on her lonesome away from the bustle of the battle. Poltergeist shone with a hazy aura on her body like the distortion of light rays bending characteristically around her. Her eyes were filled with excitement like a child who had discovered a new toy. Seeing the young woman, the Aeth and Colonel Vehe reeled from recollection, only now remembering that she was also present on this battlefield. For this, they could not be blamed since Poltergeist had remained largely silent after being transported to the battlefield. Yet, when it came time to make some noise, an explosive noise did she make indeed. Judging from Poltergeist’s words, the sudden interruption of the decadent horror’s actions was her doing. How she achieved this, no one knew. But they weren’t giving up this chance to strike heavily on the horror at all so after recovering from

  • Kingsman Return   Blinky

    Unable to contain himself, colonel Vehe voiced his doubts, “It’s impossible for anything to survive that, right?” The implications of the colonel’s words were subtle. On the surface, it seemed like he was saying that the decadent horror would die after being hit with such a powerful move. Yet, it also implies that Joyner who was also caught in the explosion also had no chance of survival. For him who didn’t know the extent of their enemy's true abilities nor the height in which battles like these could reach, it was already cautious of him seeing as he didn’t outright claim the battle to be over and the enemy defeated. Yet, no one cares for the colonel’s words or thoughts. Beatrice simply said, “Don’t relax yet. The battle isn’t over yet.” “If this horror is anything like the last one then something like this is not enough to take it down. The same goes for Joyner… he wouldn’t be stupidly taken out by his ability.” Sable who along with the others had converged around Beatrice and

    Poltergeist’s ability brought hope to an already despairing situation. With it, they saw the possibility of alleviating their current predicament. By the time the storm had finally settled and Joyner’s and the decadent horror’s bodies were revealed again, the others had already come up with a plan to utilize Poltergeist’s ability to the fullest.Without waiting for the gravitational storm to settle completely, as soon as visibility was regained, Sable who had taken temporary command barked.“Now!”Immediately the order was given, from out of Poltergeist’s chest, a semi-translucent ghostly form shot out toward the center of the storm. It headed straight for the largest visible object within the storm.This ghostly form, Blinky, was the true manifestation of Poltergeist’s mystery-type power. It had been given form following her evolution under the catalysis of the spark of the universe. Now it possessed countless remarkable abilities that were yet to be uncovered.The particular ability

    Partway into their wait, the body of the decadent horror began to show signs of struggle as it tried to reclaim control over itself and recover. The Aeth who were closely monitoring the situation immediately noticed this. Quickly, everybody was on alert as they observed the horror’s body. At first, the signs of struggle were intermittent, like unconscious twitching. But as time passed, the twitches grew more frequent until they became full-on visible strain from the horror’s powerfully contorting muscles. Only a minute had passed since the decadent horror’s movements were sealed and already it was struggling to break out. It wasn’t looking good at all. “Damn it! Could we only stall for a minute with this method? That’s not enough time at all!” In battle, a minute could be neither long nor short depending on the situation at hand but in this case, one minute was too short because it couldn’t give them enough time to recover properly. The Aeth were too heavily exhausted and on

  • Kingsman Return   Royal Reunion

    Reinforcements had arrived and with their first move, they had directly subdued the decadent horror. One move… that was all it took to suppress the enemy that had given Joyner and the others a difficult time. The reinforcements that arrived were no strangers to the Aeth gathered here. They were none other than the two princesses, Charmy and Eris who hadn’t been heard from for some time now. None of the Aeth expected that the reinforcements they had been looking forward to arriving would be these two. It should be known that before they had set out for this mission, the last thing they heard, neither Eris nor Charmy had broken through and evolved. A few months ago, they were still in the actualization realm, yet here they were unleashing such devastating attacks that could only come from someone in the law evolution realm. Suffice it to say that the surprise was very well delivered. But none of that mattered now. Without delay, Joyner led his group over to the new arrivals and gre

    “Charmy… watch your tone,” Eris cautioned Charmy on the manner of speech to spare the feelings of the other Aeth. But this concern only made the situation worse for Joyner and the others especially for Beatrice and Pamela. Among everybody present, only the two of them were closer in age to Eris and Charmy and Beatrice had often been compared to the two of them in talent so they both considered themselves as rivals to Eris and Charmy. But with things as they were, how could they have the face to call themselves their rivals? Seemingly sensing the tense atmosphere, Eris coughed and changed the topic. “I understand the situation now. From what you said, it is a good thing we made it in time. Things seemed to have been dire… fortunately, I made a move as soon as I sensed the hostile aura perpetrating in the air and got the enemy under control.” “But what you said about its regeneration is truly troubling. Even now while my roots are binding the horror I can feel the overwhelming a

  • Kingsman Return   Crushing Might 2

    Charmy was before the decadent horror in no time and when she stopped a turquoise blue whip with flower patterns running along its length appeared on her hand. The whip was wrapped in three loops and was about two meters long when completely unfurled. In a blur of motion, Charmy swung her whip at the horror so fast that only a faint blue arc could be seen drawing a dark trail like it was tearing through space. Only when the whip landed on its target could the others see it again. There was a burst of blood as Charmy’s whip left deep lacerations on the horror’s body tearing deep to the bone, causing its boiling blood that was resistant to the cold silence of space to shower everywhere. With a single stroke, Charmy heavily wounded the decadent horror displaying a crushing might that left the onlookers terrified by what they saw. That whip strike was like a sharp blade almost cutting the horror in two making the others who had struggled so hard against it look like complete fools b

    The End… For Now!

    The battle which would later come to be known as the Apocalyptic Battle For Earth’s Survival ended in a dour note. This battle lasted for 4 hours and many lives were lost. Of these lives that went missing in the chaos of the battle, two were especially noteworthy for their relentless efforts to resist the vile invaders that threatened the planet Earth.They went by the names Arran Galen Von Stratenoff Nero and Faith (Poltergeist) Ohimai both of whom were presumed missing but still alive. Nobody knew where they went or what corner of the universe they currently found themselves. But wherever this was, they were both surely missed and everybody prayed for their safety and eventual return. … The Etherium… inside the royal council hall. A meeting of the highest importance was currently being held. In this meeting, every council member was present. Along with them, there were seven extra seats which were located at the highest point in the entire hall. Seated upon these esteemed chairs w

    Final Chapter

    Arran was sucked away into the void fissure which closed immediately after, but not before Poltergeist had managed to latch onto his thigh for whatever reason. Seeing Poltergeist clinging onto him, Arran was confused before suddenly developing the urge to retort vehemently. But he wouldn’t have that time for things were just starting to go very wrong. The space within the void fissure was just that… a literal void where nothing existed but the vast expanse of space. But the stability of this void was seriously compromised allowing for multiple fractures in space and time to open up in the surrounding void. Due to the force of the vacuum that pulled arran and Poltergeist into the void fissure, the two of them were barreling through this space uncontrollably without the ability to stabilize themselves. Arran was too weak at the moment after having all his strength drained from him while releasing the Earth’s World Will. As for Poltergeist, she was also weakened. This was because she

    World Will

    The awakening of the world's will of earth was not something Arran had ever expected much less that its awakening would have to do with him. It was then that Arran realized the cause of everything. In Arran’s hand, Soran lay there quietly, no longer trembling as before as if it had gone to slumber. But when Arran thought of how everything that just happened was all because of it, Arran was shocked beyond belief. Arran thought that he already understood what Soran was capable of yet only now did he know that he was yet to scratch the surface of all of Soran’s capabilities. Soran’s ability, Triumph, granted Arran the means to win. Before Arran thought it only made it so that he could meet his enemies power blow for blow regardless of the difference in the realm. But what if there was a situation where Arran was up against an opponent whose gap in the realm was impossible to cross logically? For instance, how would Soran ensure Arran’s victory if he was up against a god as a mere mort

    Soran left Arran’s hand, trembling powerfully in the air and creating a buzz of vibrations that spread into the surroundings. Arran was shocked by this not expecting it at all. Just as Arran was about to reach out to Soran to grab him, he suddenly paused as a feeling overcame him. Something was calling out to arran. Even more surprised, Arran looked around swiftly but he couldn’t find anybody around him. Then he thought of something and turned back to look at Soran who continued to tremble in the air. Indeed, just as Arran thought, as he focused on Soran, that call rose in his heart once again. It was as if something was reaching out to him through Soran from a mysterious place. Arran didn’t know who this person was but he knew what they wanted… to be freed. Arran didn’t give it much thought at all — there wasn’t anything to think about. The situation right was already dire. In releasing this person, what was the worst that could happen? Inwardly, Arran tried speaking to the ent

    Full Awakening… The Spark of the Universe’s Origin 2

    With the eyes of the old face half open, everything took a drastic turn for the worse for Arran and his group. Everybody else had lost consciousness except for arran who retained only a bit of consciousness in this situation… and one other person. With the opening of the old man’s eyes, the defense line was broken not only on Arran’s front but also on that of the Earth. The barrier of distorted space-time surrounding Earth after its barrier shattered was also broken through. Apart from Eris and Charmy, it was this barrier that prevented the blood sea from approaching Earth. But now that it was broken nothing was stopping it anymore. The polluted blood sea was free to advance on Earth. But the Aeth and the others could also now approach the planet. Having lost consciousness, all of them were free falling into the earth at this moment. They were unable to control their descent and were hurtling toward Earth at an incredible speed. At this height, falling with such a speed was enou

    Kasack vanished from the battlefield, scooped away into the safety of the dark star planet causing Arran to miss his chance at finally ending this threat once and for all. Arran was frustrated not knowing when he might ever have another chance like this again. But he didn’t wallow in his frustration for long. In no time arran calmed down and analyzed the situation. While it was a pity that he couldn’t kill Kasack, arran realized the urgency of the situation. Whatever Kasack did before his disappearance, it was bad… very bad. Looking at the visage on the surface of the dark star planet, Arran’s mind was met with a deluge of corrupting thoughts that tried to erode his mind. Even his resistance granted by his reality gate against mental pollution was not able to stop this corruption forcing arran to turn away from the planet. Yet even then, a chilling and slimy feeling lingered in Arran’s mind as his consciousness was continually under attack. Only with the combination of the World E

    In his madness, Kasack did something drastic. He completely unleashed the power of the old one sealed within the dark star planet. Lying within the core of the dark star planet was the old ones' power. This power was meant to be given to his chosen champion as a means to fight the Aeth civilization. It was the strongest legacy left behind by the old one which could not be inherited directly. This power was only meant to be used at the critical time of the conflict with the Aeth civilization. It was Kasack’s greatest trump card one that he was reluctant to ever use. Yet at this moment, In the face of death, Kasack unleashed this power knowing full well the repercussions of his action. Moan! Following Kasack’s mad ravings, a loud wailing moan echoed throughout the surroundings sounding like an old machine shutting down or large gears slowly going still. In the chaos of the battlefield, this sound was so conspicuous that it forced everyone to notice it. Gradually, the fighting stopp

    Final Death Throes

    Kasack was sent flying after being hit by Arran. His chest was sunken and bloodied from the barrage of staff thrusts delivered to him and a mouth full of blood burst from Kasack’s mouth. Kasack was severely damaged, his injuries extremely grevious. But the most severe blow done to Kasack was the blow to his mind and ego. Despite everything, despite all the preparations and plans he had made, Kasack still hadn’t succeeded in killing Arran, yet it was he who was left battered and on the brink of death once again. This thought, Kasack could not bear it. His previous shame which he had hidden beneath a well of anger and rage resurfaced once more, bursting onto the surface like an erupting volcano. Aaaahhhhhh! Kasack didn’t know who was screaming so desperately. In his daze, he heard a voice filled with fury and indignation. His mind was foggy from the impact of Arran’s blows and the bruise on his pride and ego. When the fog finally cleared a little, that is when Kasack realized that
