When Arran saw Colonel Vehe and Poltergeist opening their eyes and falling into a daze, he immediately reminded them, “Take your time to adjust to your current state. You might feel disoriented at first but that’s normal. Don’t rush.”Hearing Arran’s reminder, the two humans gradually adjusted to their current bodies.Because of the change in their bodies, a lot of things differed from before chief of them being their perception of the world, which had undergone a very significant transformation.Previously, like all humans, colonel Vehe and Poltergeist possessed a very limited perception of the world because of the innate deficiencies of the human race. These deficiencies force the brain to ignore many pieces of information about the world, causing humans to be very average in many aspects.Be it sight, smell, or hearing, Humans were not very exceptional in utilizing these senses. Their hearing and sense of smell weren’t as good as those of dogs nor could they see as clearly as a fly
But the greatest change that occurred was naturally between the two of them. Their powers had greatly advanced, almost to the point of being unique abilities from before.The information about the change in their powers was more detailed than that about their new perception of the outside world, which allowed Colonel Vehe and Poltergeist to tell what was different about their powers.The first difference was naturally the growth of their physical strength.There was a massive amount of energy contained within the bodies of the colonel and Poltergeist. Such energy was greater than that of a nuclear bomb and seemed as vast as the stars. It made their bodies so strong that it felt like they could punch a hole through the very fabric of space.All this energy contained within the tiny bodies of the two humans gave them a feeling of fullness and they had the urge to vent. But the duo dared not for fear of the devastation they might cause.Colonel Vehe and Poltergeist were uncomfortable wit
Barely a minute had passed since Colonel Vehe and Poltergeist opened their eyes and they had already adapted fully to their new strength.A keen observer, Arran watched silently by the side while all this happened. Although he was anxious about the situation, Arran didn’t hurry and gave them as much time as needed.Finally, when Arran judged that the colonel and Poltergeist were sufficiently adapted, he spoke up, saying, “How are you two doing? Have you gotten a hang of your new powers? Can you explain to me everything about your current state?”Arran’s words pulled the colonel’s and Poltergeist’s attention back to the present, making them remember the situation they were in.Immediately, the two of them responded to Arran and began explaining the changes in them as best as they could. This didn’t take long. In no time, Arran got a grasp of the situation.On this note, Arran could not be any more ecstatic than if he had won the lottery because, in a sense, Arran had.What was the most
Arran, having said his last piece, gestured for the duo to be silent for a moment before turning to look at the battlefield. Reaching out with his mind, Arran sent a message to Joyner and the others who were fighting.“Everyone, listen up. I’ve managed to find some help and I’m sending them your way to help out right now. They should be able to contribute to delaying the enemy while we wait. Their powers are special so accommodate them as much as possible.”Once Arran was done sending the message, he quickly cut off his connection with the others. But Arran’s message had alerted the five of them, causing them to pay attention to his side.During the battle, the five Aeth had naturally been aware of Colonel Vehe’s and Poltergeist’s presence when they first arrived and they also noticed some of Arran’s actions too. But not knowing what he was up to and having to focus on the battle, they couldn’t spare any attention for the trio.While it seemed skeptical what kind of help Colonel Vehe
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
Everywhere was filled with white mist. There were obscure flashes of shadowy figures that filtered through the mist, along with the brief lull of various sounds. There were sounds of children crying, of metal blades clashing against each other, and of warriors shouting in their loud voices as they let out their battle cries accompanied by loud explosions that filled one with dread. These sounds interfered with and meshed together, like a piece of horrendous background music that told epic tales of war and savagery. Everything was dreamlike, and nothing could be perceived clearly. But above the din of hazy mist and blood-curdling sounds, there was one above all else that could be made out with total clarity. It was the sound of insane laughter that sent chills down the spines of those who heard it. Following it were indistinct mutterings, like the whispers of the devil. Anyone who heard it would be driven mad and be dulled of their senses and would leave themselves open to the sile
It was a typical winter day in downtown Los Angeles. As it was the eve of the new year, coupled with temperatures that were reaching an unbearable 32 degrees and below, the number of people that could be found on the streets was few.Everyone was inside their houses and staying warm with their families as they awaited the coming of the new year and anybody that found themselves outside on a day like today could only be said to truly be unfortunate.The new year was supposed to be a day of hope for everybody, a day where everybody started a new chapter on the story that was their lives, but for Arran, it was a day like any other day, filled with misfortune after misfortune.Arran as a 19-year-old hormonal teenager had dreams like any other teens his age had. Dreams of picking up girls and establishing a world-class harem, dreams of being every girl's favorite wet dream.Some would say he had the making of a popular harem king, with great looks and bronze t
