"This is where I asked everyone to meet up in. They're so late I believe I could have make two rounds back to the class and still meet this place empty." Arthur had a frown on his face as he looked down at his watch. "What are you so worked up about? Drake would be here soon anyway, and the girls would follow. What we need to discuss is you doing something so cool without telling your brother about it!" Arthur blinked and turned around to give Aaron his famed “no-nonsense glare”, causing the young thief's smile to turn awkward a long later. As soon as Arthur gave Aaron that glare, the half dragon looked away. "C'mon, don't be like an old man. I understand you could be older even with such a young body since you're a dragon, but I believe—" "Get to the point!" "Ah, in a rush I see. We have plenty of time for we two brothers to catch up, no need to rush anything related to such an amazing feat you—" "I mean it!" Aaron sighed, then opened his mouth to speak after a few seconds of
"Our squad hasn't been legalized yet for starters, and we don't even have a name. We have no backing, zero funds and very little manpower." Arthur smirked as he continued to speak with a glint in his eyes, "We should only see this event as nothing more than a mere promotion, an avenue to attract both finding and manpower to out new guild. This means that all the responsibility of attracting attention falls on the human members of this squad." Everyone stared at Arthur with their eyes narrowed and lips sealed. They didn't say a word until asked to speak, and neither of them made any provocative or unwanted moves during his speech. "Hmm, we should apply for legalization soon. Maybe I can go later with you to do that in the Main Star Hub a few metres away from the main building." Felicia said with a serious expression on her face. "I see. We should do that immediately after school is closed so that our verification process can end in just a few days away from today." Arthur held his
After the lecture from a couple more teachers, classes were dismissed and the students were chased away as time elapsed. Arthur followed the others out the main building, making his way to the Hub. "Hmm, just a few minutes after four — I believe that a sloth or snail should be able to crawl there from their classes just a few metres away." Arthur spoke as he lowered his arm and sighed, "Or slow idiots." Everyone in the main building evacuated as the doors to it were slammed shut behind them. The teacher and staff inside would make a few more searched all round the building for morons before finally locking it up. Arthur dragged his feet to the building just two or so metres behind the main. It was the Hub where Felicia was asked to wait for him in, and the place he would submit all these forms. "Hmm, I can see you already. Are you trying to annoy me by walking like that?" Felicia who was just outside the Hub caught sight of Arthur and shouted with her brows raised, "Get over here
"Arthur, you've been looking a bit shaken up lately. Is anything wrong?" Celicia put down the pot of soup on the table as she glared at Arthur who looked as if he'd jumped out of his skin just from hearing her voice. "I don't know, I just feel something strange." Arthur rolled his eyes at Celicia as he calmed his palpitating heart and loosened his tensed up body. He did not put too much thought into it, but something was wrong. He's been on full alert since he got back home, and all his senses seemed to be operating at maximum ability as his Qi scanned through the building endlessly. The thought of another trap kept crossing his mind. "Hmm, you too? It started earlier this afternoon, and it wasn't an easy task locating the source even after I turned the building upside down." Celicia said as she picked up the pit again reentered the kitchen. "Hmm." Arthur narrowed his eyes then calmly took a few more looks around the living room before quickly standing to his feet then walking to
Arthur's grip was harder than metal as it latched on to the arm of the invisible intruder without loosening no matter how hard the intruder struck it with a knife he must have had with him. If anything, the intruder's knife was chipped by the numerous futile collisions with Arthur's hand, and a pain like never before surfaced in his heart. As soon as the knife got chipped completely, he dropped it. "Trying to run away? Dream on—!" Arthur's eyes had a crazed glow to them as he kept his grip on the one intruder, then bent down to pick up a trash can from the ground, "A bird in hand is worth more than two out in the bushes." Arthur rolled the arm holding the trash can, and with as much force he could muster — hurled the trash can in the face of the archer hidden in a cluster of boxes a few houses away. The can blasted into the boxes, and the person who'd mounted himself up there was blown off the roof and left to crash down to the ground headfirst. As soon as began descending, Arthu
"Indeed, it wasn't as simple was they made me think. I think I should put an end to this game here, then I will head back home and talk with mother." Arthur let go of the [TK] and jumped down to the ground. "Huh? Who are you kid? Are you lost?" Arthur raised his hand and squeezed into a fist, then the head of the man armed with a sword exploded as blood and brain matter was sprayed all over the room. Before the second could react, Arthur disappeared in a blink and appeared seconds later with his arm in his chest. Coughing up a mouthful of blood, the poor man did not even understand how he died. "This is painful, I understand. But the fact you want to use my classmates as bait to lure me out is levels more revolting than your worthless death." Arthur dragged out his arm and cracked his neck, "I'll tear apart everyone in this building." Arthur walked up to the door, and kicked it open with zero effort as he barged into the next room. An armed man who was nearest to him dragged ou
Arthur sighed as he dropped down to his bed to rest after an extremely long night. He found the issue of the sudden attacks to be quite strange, and how the others were faring currently worried him. "Although they aren't the strongest, the two should be able to take care of themselves. This is not some crapped dungeon, if they come across any monster beyond 11 but beneath level 15, then they should be able to escape if they cannot defeat it." Lilith and Felicia who lived under tight security were relatively safe to him, since only the foolish would try attacking members of a clan under supervision. Most especially with both of them so close to awakening. But, the fact that the enemy planned to use captured family members to threaten one of his weaker allies into luring out another unsettled him. The only way for him to end this was to dig up and burn the roots. "As for those two idiots…" Arthur had tied them together in the guest room after he dragged them room, and the onl
“Boom!” Explosions lit up the sky as all the combatants battled each other fiercely, unleashing a plethora of skills into the atmosphere as they clashed. The building was half sunk into the ground already, and the ground reduced to dust after a few seconds of battling. "Advanced warlocks are quite scary to be honest. It's just so difficult imagining myself harming something as god-like as that." One of Rosetta's surviving guard praised with a gleam in his eyes as he watched. "Indeed. Immortals like that battling ceaselessly with zero attachments to the rules of the mortal world, is a sight to behold." Another chimed in with a smirk just to join his comrade in praising the fighters. “Light Heaven — Stella Destruction Descent!” Numerous beams of light literally shot down from the sky to blast into the opposing fighters, shooting most of them down with ease. Although the beams were too weak to kill anyone above Level 30, the healing of the wounds was a bit slower compared to re
