"They have already attacked the main castle. I do not believe this is the work of the—" "That's enough! I'll go to her aid, and destroy all of his pathetic forces before any harms comes to her." "It's not that, but—" "I wouldn't hear another word from you— we have to move now, and rescue her from those backstabbers!" A tall golden haired man pulled the reins of his horse and clicked his tongue, ordering it to march on faster as he dusted his escort trying to rush forward. All the man could think about was one woman. His guards and a few trusted commanders, stared at one another before shrugging helplessly and chasing after him without a choice. As soon as they caught up to him, everyone slowed down for a while. The most trusted of his escort, one huge man with his skin radiant as bronze and emerald eyes deep as the sea, paced side-by-side with Arthur so he could have the chance to speak to him, "Your father has already grabbed a few more of them for his stupid test, more drago
"Something seems a bit off about this door, doesn't it Lilith?" Arthur scrutinized the door with a frown on his face, sizing it up and scanning it in search for a single malfunction before sighing deeply. "Huh? You must be hallucinating, just knock already and let's get inside." Lilith rolled her eyes at Arthur's sudden ‘paranoia’ before walking up to the door and knocking on it by herself, "See? Nothing happened." "It's not about anything happening, I just feel strange looking at the door. It's as if someone had tampered with it…" Arthur wondered out loud as he stepped in after Lilith, then shrugged off the thoughts. "Ah, you're both back again." Celicia had a wide smile on her face as she stepped outside the kitchen just to greet the two. After she'd done that, she went back to work and completely ignored them. "Mom, did anything happen while we were away? You didn't break down the door by accident did you?" His eyes gleamed the second the noticed his mother was consciously
"…" The room was as quiet as a graveyard as the two kept their lips sealed throughout the process. Arthur who had his hand laid upon Lilith's head, focused his Qi into his palm and encompassed her in it. The soft azure grow emitting from his hand following the process lit up his room in a blue radiance, leaving everything completely illuminated. As soon as Lililth got completely engulfed in the blue light, all her Qi paths were set ablaze in wild azure flames. It was a soothing feeling, although not as sensational as one would think it to be. It was just like the feeling one had from sleeping after being deprived of it for days or more. It was extremely refreshing. In contrast to Lilith's refreshments — Arthur had his face twisted into an ugly expression. He was silently exploring her paths to see the numerous wounds she inflicted on them. All were extremely ‘stunning’. Slowly, he began to revitalize them with his own Qi as he concentrated harder. Any mistake he made could
"You want to spar before going to school? You've got everything in place already, and eaten?" Celicia had a frowned on her face as she sized up her son, doubtful about what he had said to her. "Yes!" Arthur nodded as he took off his bag and gave it to Lilith who just watched silently, then cracked his neck and waved his head, "Should we take it outside or is it okay for us to—" Suddenly, all the hair on his body to stand on end as he raised his hand to shield his face without a second of time wasted talking. He focused all his Qi on his arms and braced himself. “Boom!” Arthur's eyes widened as he caught the sudden kick from his mother, causing his back to hunch over and his eyes to widen as the air in his lungs was knocked out! As soon as he'd blocked it, he dashed away. Celicia lowered her leg, then cracked her neck with a smile on her face, "You blocked it? Interesting. I can manage in here, as far as we both avoid the furniture." Just as she'd spoken, Celicia disappear
"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
"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.
