Right after school, Arthur gathered the others for his short prep meeting ahead of what he'd put in place for the day. He relayed to them all he had heard without holding back any important information, laying more of his emphasis on “family” and “killings”. "You shouldn't have killed them like that, at least you could have given them a chance. None of them there were any worse than the two kids you left alive." With a cold gleam in his eyes Aaron found fault with Arthur after hearing his story, and voiced them out instantly. "No, they weren't worth keeping alive. Why? Unlike a couple of kids who would be useful to luring the huge fish out, the murderers were pretty useless even after their death." Arthur shrugged coldly, ignoring Aaron. "Don't ignore me! It isn't right to just kill people like that without hesitating for even a second!" His eyes blazed as Aaron stood up in a frenzy, "You can't just claim the right of redemption from anyone!" "I see." Arthur stood up to his fee
After a minute, the attack dispersed to reveal a single spear that gleamed before being dragged backwards by a supernatural force. As soon as it was retrieved, the owner walked towards the duo with a smile. "Hello, I'm Darwin. Nice to meet you, Arthur." Arthur's eyes widened as his body began twitching in response to the shock from earlier. His arm raised in a reflex to defend from the earlier blow felt as if a knife had been used to tear runes through it. Every muscle in his arm felt some strange unpleasant current running through them, and the feeling made his entire arm to remain completely numb. Each time he attempted to clench his fist, the feeling intensified! "You withstood my weakest attack, huh? Not bad for an absolute newbie like you." Darwin grinned with his spear being swirled stylishly in his hands. After a few seconds of flashing skills, he chuckled. “Weakest attack?” Arthur's eyes twitched as he slowly began to clench his fists, all the veins in his forehead popp
Arthur's attacks suddenly came pouring down again like rain as if he had smoked something ethereal that not just healed but excited him! Although he was still a few levels too weak to overwhelm Darwin, Arthur's attacks managed to push him back a few steps. "Huh? Interesting, you actually have gotten faster at the sight of a sword! I see, I see!" Darwin grinned as he began to counter Arthur's claws with his sword in seconds after reading Arthur. “Clang! Clang! Bang!” The sound of claw clashing with blade rang out as the duo fought without holding back anything. Gladly, not a single student had stepped out of the gates since the fight begun and since caught up in the battle would be a real drag, and for that, Arthur was grateful for their absence for the past few minutes. The ground beneath them was already cratered after just minutes of battling with dust and debris built up and accumulated from the explosions of techniques and contact between combatants. A net of attacks, defens
“Boom!” Arthur punched Darwin in the face, then kicked him in the guts — knocking him to the side. As soon as he lost his balance, Arthur chased after him and landed two more kicks before retreating. Darwin just stood with his brows furrowed as he tried his best to contain his boiling fury. The second he lost his balance, he opened up more than one weakness to Arthur for exploitation! Although the disparities in strength was large, these kind of stupid mistakes would cost Darwin more than he was supposed to pay in order to beat Arthur. “Boom!” Arthur's and Darwin's fists' collided as an shockwave shot out from the impact. Arthur just heard the sound of his bones cracking, and before he could act, he was blown back by Darwin's punch. Arthur came to a skidding halt some dozen metres away from the school gates. He was still bleeding a bucket load of blood from his wounds, but kept his stance and struggled to keep himself conscious. Should he run away? Would Darwin chase or not? I
Darwin lay down on the ground, bloody and battered with his muscles numb from the beatings. He did not even have the energy to breathe properly after all the blows his face ate, and just lied down weakly. "Ahem, so I guessed it's time I tie you up with the two kids. Do not try anything funny, you'll just die earlier than you're supposed to." Celicia spoke, taking steps forward to grab the weak Darwin and pick him up to his feet without any effort or resistance. Arthur watched this with a bittersweet smile on his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He wasn't able to handle Darwin himself, and his mother seems very unwilling to dirty her hands for him. "Arthur, are you okay?" Felicia who dropped Lilith on the ground after watching the situation, ran towards a stunned Arthur. She wanted to jump him, but resisted seeing the state he was in. "I'm okay…" Arthur reluctantly received Felicia in his arms, and his mother dropped Darwin to give him her stunned expression as she knew
Arthur glared down at Darwin with a frown drawn on his face. He was going to find a way to kill this guy, he was too troublesome to keep alive! First things first is to interrogate the idiot and get some answers. "Why did you want to kill me? Except for killing your rotten friends, is there anything I've done to you that warrants you dragging innocents just to bring me to the ground?" Arthur took a seat besides Darwin. "You killed very good friends of mine. I couldn't just let you walk around without having my revenge. All those people were mere casualties, zero importance relating to the plan except being obstacles." "I understand you, I really do." Arthur sighed then he leaned back on his chair and scrutinized Darwin for a few seconds before opening his mouth to speak, "The reason I killed them was because they overdid all the stupidity and involved family in this." Arthur raised a brow, then added with a cold gleam in his eyes and a frown on his face, "We don't do that. We can
"Sorry son, but I couldn't leave any more leads to you for any of the bigger guilds to follow. Although they'll all withdraw after a while, things will get really messy before that time." "I know, but—" "I have a feeling that something is going to go wrong in a few weeks from now, and you're still too weak for the storm about to hit you. If I'd let the man live, even if he was important — you'd be dead in a few weeks." Why? "Once report reaches the guilds that a half dragon is being hidden away by a lone advanced warlocks, they won't hesitate to wipe you out if you're not absorbed into the system. The dead can't spread information." Arthur frowned. He'd already taken all the risks into account, and began preparations to combat them all after reaching Level 11. Now, most of his plans need readjustments after losing his hold on a Level 17. "Besides, whatever you want to do, I can arrange for it to be handled by more trustworthy acquaintances in a way of helping you with what you'
After they'd all eaten, the atmosphere grew a bit cold with no one making any movements. Everyone stared at each other silently with numerous thoughts going wild in their heads as they looked at one another. Celicia picked up a napkin, and delicately wiped her mouth as she glared at the silent Arthur. She seemed as if she was going to strangle him if he didn't say a word in a given time frame — two seconds! "So mother, I'm taking the girls out for a date. Isn't it a good idea? We'll be back in the evening, and would not do anything strange." Arthur cleared his throat, then picked up his glass of water to drink. "Don't forget to use protection, and please avoid any overly crowded places…" Arthur choked on the water, and began to cough and wheeze as he teared up with his face beet red. After a while, he cleared his throat and wiped his lips calmly with his eyes gleaming in a demonic light. "Of course! We wouldn't forget something important at a time like that, would we?" Lilith, i
"Hehe, the idiot must have noticed the death of his followers by now and must have understood that his target is being assisted by a powerful entity." Rylex chuckled to herself. Her face was vibrant and she was brimming with energy and excitement. "…" Syx turned her head to face Rylex, staring at the side of the goddess's face. Her glowing eyes flashed as she collapsed into the sea of thought, and in a flash, her expression went blank. "It won't be long until he starts to feed me more of his stronger followers, each of them as a probe to guage my strength." Rylex rolled her eyes with a sneer, her aura was shrouded with arrogance and pride, "Unless some elder god were to make their move, even the god of death himself would he unable to stop me." She was a bit pumped, and it showed with her not even trying to hide it. After a few seconds, she was finally able to calm herself and pick up her speech. "If not for my inability to leave Jack here and just—" Rylex paused, her brows furr
"Is she doing okay now? The monsters have already been cleared out, and your father is probably awake now." Luke said as he sat besides Fay who was watching Meng sleep.Fay sighed before turning to face Luke with a bright smile on her face. "Meng Meng's doing fine for a fairy her age. She'll be up in a day or two." Fay answered as she grabbed Meng's little hand.Luke smiled broadly before rising up, and looking outside through the open window. His eyes narrowed as it locked upon the silhouette of a creature watching them from afar."Say, what actually made you guys to remain here instead of heading back home." Luke looked over his shoulder to Fay and asked."That's top secret, but I think you should know." Fay sighed heavily before continuing with a frown, "There's a powerful universal weapon hidden here in the capital. was found by Meng and I after stumbling on a secret dimensional portal inside one of the hidden castle rooms.""Would you mind telling me what you saw in the dimensio
Luke hunched over, panting as his eyes swept across the bloodied battlefield before locking on the the dead body of the almighty dimensional phatom stone golem.[You have surprisingly been true to your words before a lower-lifeform!][Royal Charm Instant Rank Up!][Respect +10]"Damn, after all that honesty, I didn't get a new skill? Why is this system wicked to me all of a sudden? Who cares about levelling up? I have !" Luke muttered before straightening his back with a slight frown on his face as he let out a low sigh. Before Luke was badly mutilated body of the dimensional stone phatom golem which lay motionless on the ground alongside it's dead minions. "He actually defeated that dreadful dimensional monster, and even had been toying with it this whole time!" "That prince actually didn't move! He really subdued the powerful monster without moving from the spot!""Almighty prince Luke, almighty elven god! Invincibility under the heavens!"The awe-filled cheers of the human soldi
Mylos clung unto the walls of a tall building, gazing past the massive fence to view the plethora of houses before him. With his demonic vision, he was able to see objects metres away as if they were just an inch away from him. "Just a few hunters patrolling by that alley to the west. I should be able to avoid them if I'm careful. What I need now is a place to stay the night." Mylos spoke softly with his head bowed in thought, and brows knitted. In his bag, he had some “credits” which humans deemed useful for transactions. He calculated having enough for more than a few months of rent, but decided on paying for just a few nights since he would be mobile. "I can also last some weeks more without any food, but I'll be forced to find a meal if I get too weak from these hunger pangs." Mylos frowned, then he shook his head and clenched his right fist, "Let me get away from here." As soon as Mylos clenched his fingers digging into the wall into a fist, he crushed a part of the wall
A young boy ran briskly through a forest with a frown on his extremely handsome face. He was wearing a plain black hoodie with the hood pulled over his head to cover his hair. Strapped to the side of waist was a sword still in it's sheath. Everytime the boy's feet landed on the ground, he would appear metres away in the distance like a phantom without even leaving an afterimage. It was as if he was using a strange version of teleportation. Chasing after him was a blue haired girl on a bike were a crop top and a short shirt. A large claymore was strapped to her back, but it wasn't sheathed, boldly displaying it's blade. The dark grey blade of the claymore which was riddled with glowing green runes gave off an intimidating and dangerous vibe to whoever set their eyes on it. From the size alone, one could only imagine how powerful the wielder must be to have the ability to use it in a battle. The forest today was exceptionally quiet except for some tweets from the scarce birds f
"Sit." Mylos blinked, then sat down on the chair facing that of his father. He stared into the man's eyes, his brows were furrowed and shoulders tense. He seemed anxious, but did not give himself away with any strange action. "Father, I—" The Chaos Eminence waved his hand, causing Mylos to shut his mouth and look away. After he had given his son the signal to shut his mouth, the Chaos Eminence drops his hand and laid it upon the table between them. "Don't bother yourself…" The Chaos Eminence sighed as he closed his eyes and laid back in his seat, "A large number of them had attacked the building you told me you would hide in. I guess, that was a very smart move." "No father. This has gotten to something beyond what I am able to handle." Mylos cut in after listening to all his father had to say, his brows still furrowed as he was still in deep thoughts, "I believe you know what I saw there." The Chaos Eminence smiled warmly as he picked up a glass cup filled with water and
“Clang!” Dancing under the moonlight, the sparks of their blades clashing lit up the scattered shadows. Blood was sprayed all over the auditorium walls, and charred markings were blasted all over the exquisite ornate doors. Dead bodies lay on the ground — most mutilated, while some were burnt to a crisp. Their swords were shattered and their armour rent with claw marks over the metallic surface of the metal. “Clang!” In this blood soaked scenery. The duo clashed without a second of relent, their attacks and counterattacks looked perfectly synched — fluid and graceful, without a second of hesitation or stagger, nor a shred of relent. After seconds of clashing fiercely, they pulled away and gave some space for breathing. Finally, the faces of both swordsmen were revealed as the gleam of the moonlight shone on them. "Haha! Sword Eminences are truly annoying creatures, I don't even have the chance to breath." Standing in the moonlight with his head slightly bowed, he grinned
Mylos had gotten himself accustomed to the relentless attacks from demons. He believed that they were drawn to his hidden ability somewhat, and must want it for their worthless selves. He could do nothing about it. "I have been promised ten thousand gold Yreo for your wretched head, youngling. It's a shame I was too late in reaching you, or you would have made me easy gold to last more than a few years." Mylos smirked coldly as he held his sword, not making a move as he scrutinized his opponent. Alas, his little head carried a heavy bounty which numerous hunters gunned for despite his status and reputation. For that only, he'd been constantly attacked by troupes of hunters in unison with the demons after his ability. He had never been allowed to rest with their targets behind him, and had been killing attackers left and right. Although he never thought that the demons would also gain a reward for hunting him. He believed that only the hunters from other dumb races were after his
Silence. The winds were agitated, and so were the steeds risen by the Imperial Flame Army. The vast plains was shrouded in an icy mist, and one could spot a few decapitated bodies scattered throughout the battlefield with a few limbs torn off. Holding the reins of his humble steed, Yin Huo who wore an emotionless mask, cast his gaze over the vast horizons. After a few seconds, he finally stabilised his armoured stallion was. "Esteemed Southern Commander, Yin Hou! We have already received estimates of the enemy's total forces." A short and stout bearded man who rode a dark stallion inched over and whispered in Yin Hou's ears, "The army seem to be marching over in this direction…" Yin Huo paused. His emotionless eyes suddenly began to flicker with a righteous light, and from those short flickers were birthed wild flames. "Heh." Yin Hou opened his mouth to speak in a deep and cold voice, his gaze held over the vast horizons, the plains devoid of human life or activity.
