"It is indeed my fault not taking you into consideration at all brother Arran. My face is truly not worth as much as yours is so it was truly presumptuous of me to ask for you to give me face. For that, I sincerely apologize."
Carrum shamelessly apologized to Arran surprising everybody there. Nobody expected that after all the insults Arran had piled up on Carrum that he would be so magnanimous as to admit he's wrong and apologize.
Although not many people were familiar with Carrum but everybody knew that for somebody who was able to gather most of the defeated participants in this ceremony, this kind of person would never really be so humble.
It takes more than sweet words and a vision to lead a group of people and at times people needed to be ruthless to be able to hold steadily onto their position.
Although ruthlessness was frowned upon by others, but to certain people... especially leaders of any organization or group... being ruthlessly held its own
With the swing of Arran's sword, the curtained opened up to the epic battle between Arran and the alliance.Following Arran's attack, a long bolt of lightning streaked across the distance between Arran and Carrum the alliance leader in an arc and it was headed his way at a blindingly fast speed.Like a heart-seeking beam, Arran's attack arrived in front of Carrum and it was about to hit its target.In response to this attack, Carrum stretched his hands forward and a veil of dark brown light extended from his outstretched hands covering Carrum's entire body from the front.This veil of light had the heaviness of earth and with Carrum as the center, a suffocating pressure came out of his body. The air around Carrum solidified as Carrum got ready to resist Arran's attack.All this happened in mere seconds and before anybody could react, both parties had made their moves.Arran's lightning attack hit Carrum's defense and the result was a resound
Arghhh!!Charge!!Brothers, kill!!Sounds of yelling could be heard coming from the entrance of the cave and both Arran and Brianna silently waited for the members of the alliance to finally charge into the so that they could finally get started and fight to their heart's content.After what seemed like hours but was in fact only just a few seconds, the first member of the alliance finally appeared.After running into the cave, this alliance member first saw Arran as well as Brianna as they waited at a place that was not far from the entrance with their weapons held at the ready.Upon seeing Arran, even though this member was surprised to see that he was not the only one waiting for them, he did not seem to care and he immediately raised his weapon and yelled his battle cry."Brothers, follow me. Kill!"At once, after yelling his battle cry and encouraging his fellow alliance members, that participant charged towards Arran head
At the place that overlooked a wide ocean...Up in the platform were various important dignitaries and people who were from powerful and important families in the Aeth were gathered.As always, everybody here was paying very close attention to what was going on in the ceremony. Most especially, these people were paying close attention to what was going on around Arran.Ever since the announcement regarding Arran almost fulfilling the conditions to advance to the next round had been made to all the participants in the second elimination round, slowly but surely, the focus of this elimination round had taken a turn from having the participants search high and low for a token to claim wherein the process they would end up having to rob and pillage from each other.Now the focus had shifted to hunting down Arran to rob him of his own token.This sudden shift in the goal of the second elimination round came as a surprise to all the audience watching thi
This was a small and dark world that was devoid of light.Dark clouds depressing clouds hung in the sky above the world blanketing the entire world and plunging everything in eternal darkness. The only source of illumination was through the blazing flames that covered the land with its source gotten from the thousands of highly active volcanoes which erupted at regular intervals making the sky rain constantly with fire and brimstone.In the air of this small world, there was a dark mist formed or thick smoke and poisonous miasma. A single inhale of the poison air of this world would kill a person faster than being hit by a large truck would.In such a dismal and forbidden world, you would think that it was impossible for any life to exist or even thrive, but against all odds, there were indeed signs of life that could be seen growing in such a terrible environment.In the universe, there are countless miracles of life that could be witnessed and it was no
Kasack was fearless in the face of this shade and he was not afraid that this shade would be able to harm him in any way. As for Kasack being enraged to the point where he would leave the protection of his sealed world to fight it out with the shade... are you serious? Kasack would never do such a foolish thing that brought no benefits to himself but instead would harm him.Kasack was not prepared to die yet. Even if other people were to hear of this and called Kasack a coward who lacked courage and did not have the pride that a shade warrior should... well sorry, but what was pride and courage worth anyway.Can it be eaten?Will having pride and courage prevent you from being bullied in this harsh universe?Sorry but this was not a fantasy! nobody would care just how much pride and courage you had, so far as you were weaker than your opponent then they would definitely hit you until you bled. This was the cruel reality of things. So if Kasack could prese
The alliance had separated into multiple groups of twenty people in order to hunt down both Arran and Brianna. This was just like how it was previously when they had been searching for Arran in the tunnels leading to this cave but the only difference is that this time, non of the alliance members dared to slack off in this cave. This was because none of them could be sure of how many traps and formations that Arran had set up inside this cave. They were very wary of Arran and his traps and formations. This is not a question of if there were any traps or formations but it was a question of what type of traps and formations had been set up in this cave by Arran. To be honest, the alliance members were suffering from a little bit of psychological trauma from having to face all of Arran's traps. Previously the alliance members had had to deal with the traps and formations in the tunnels leading to the cave and when they had found the cave they still had to go thr
Brianna heard Arran's question and her heart skipped a beat for a moment. Brianna was feeling stuffy in her chest... like her heart was stuck in her throat.After the feeling passed, Brianna finally sighed in resignation. she knew that sooner or later Arran would ask her about this issue and she would have no choice but to tell him. Brianna had just hoped that Arran would have never asked her in the first place so that she wouldn't have to talk about it.In fact, it was not as if Brianna's state at that time was a particularly big secret or anything. many people who were close to her knew about it and Brianna could tell anybody that she wised as it would not have any adverse effect on her at all.It was just that it was a rather sensitive and embarrassing topic for Brianna so she did not like to bring it up at all. That was why she had not taken the initiative to explain things to Arran and had avoided bringing up the topic in the first place.Arran had p
The alliance members were gathered just in front of the entrance of the cave and they were currently discussing various measures to tackle the issue of locating Arran and Brianna. Those people who were gathered here included the ten temporary leaders of the alliance as well as some other participants who were recognized by everybody for their reputation outside the ceremony as well as their strength and contributions to the alliance.As a method to ensure fairness in the alliance and to prevent being cheated by anybody, although the ten temporary leaders could be said to hold decision-making power in the alliance they were not allowed to lead the alliance by themselves alone. The alliance members had also nominated some other participants to share the decision-making role with the first ten and they were specially tasked with monitoring the storage of the tokens the alliance had collected.Of course, all the alliance members would have liked it if they were the ones wh
