As the moon reached its peak in the night sky, with the howl of wolves in the distance, one could hear the noise of marching footsteps.

Shades of hundreds of people traversing the forest could be perceived by the wildlife’s vision as they slowly walked in lines through the thick woods, approaching their destination with fervor. 

The troops of men that walked these forests numbered over four thousand, each thousand having their own leader to give out orders and keep everything neatly in arrangement. 

“We’re nearing now.” Leonidas commented as he rode a horse alongside the commander of the troops, Elyenora and Samuel followed from behind along with the knight guards that accompanied the young man, also on horseback. 

“Indeed, we’ll have to get into position and split our forces accordingly for the three way pincer attack.” Reedus replied in a serious, deep tone, his conviction towards the success of t

    Having managed to enter the orcish fort unnoticed, the young Elyenora grinned widely while gazing at the big influx of orcs that were all over the place.“Let’s get to the supply storage and set it all on fire.” One of the knights stated and walked forth, not minding the presence of orcs sleeping or walking about to kill time.Nodding to his words, Elyenora moved up and kept pace with the group, they needed to look somewhere to the south-western corner of the construction to find their targets.Their trek through the fortress’ interior went smoothly, they saw many orcs along the way who were resting from today’s battle and some that were tending to their wounds, a lot had gone to sleep and a few still hadn’t had their fill on drinks or meat yet.Nearly all of these orcs were of the younger generation, it wasn’t something that Elyenora or Samuel could tell, however it was a fact that the mor

    As the fires raged on all around, the orcs drew nearer and swung whatever they held towards the young Elyenora, attempting to kill her on the spot.However, just in the nick of time, two of the knight bodyguards that had come with Samuel arrived and blocked the incoming strikes.“Princess Elyenora! Stay on guard and raise thy blade!” The knight spoke with an ordering tone, bringing the girl back to her senses.“Y-Yes!” She replied and quickly and stood up, unsheathing her blade as she breathed in and out to try and calm herself.The two knights were able to fend off the weaker orcs with ease, it gave enough time for the princess to assess herself and get used to the environment of battle.She breathed in and out, staying in between the two knights for protection until she could speak normally.“Where is Sam?” She asked, worriedly trying to get an answer.&ld

    ...“Huh!!”A reaction of shock sounded from within a wooden carriage, deep within a secluded forest.It caused the nearby birds to frighten and fly away in a hurry, chirping along their way in a panic.The girl who’d reacted so strongly found herself to be sitting upright and breathing heavily. She had just awoken from a long dream of the past, now feeling rather disoriented first thing in the morning.‘Was that... A dream?’ The Elyenora of the present day thought to herself, holding her forehead which had a soft headache rising within it.“Ugh... That really shocked me, I guess reminiscing about the past when you’re tired and feeling under pressure can bring about such scenes in dreams, huh...?” She murmured to herself, thinking about the past that she’d just envisioned.‘That moment really felt like

    A stream of leaves fell down from the top of the trees, revealing the long branches which stretched outwards for a few meters from their base.Elyenora’s bright violet sunset like eyes gazed upon the branches, there she could spot a silhouette, it was of the back of a tall man with long black hair which reached down to his waist.He was wearing a silver like gray coat as well as deep black pants and boots, while at his side was what seemed to be a dark cloak which he’d taken off at this time.His feet dangled to the side as he sat on the branch and watched on towards the distance of the forest.The princess, having seen this scene, placed both of her hands at the sides of her mouth, as a means to speak louder, and shouted, “Mon’Ter! Hey, I can see you up there! Could you come down here, please?”“Mmm...” A soft sound of agreement could be heard from the man in the t

    It didn’t take long for Elyenora to get the horses all set up and ready to pull the carriage once more, she did it with fervor and seemed to be in an overall good mood all the while, humming her soft melody whilst doing her work.Mon’Ter only watched on in silence, he had finally woken up after days of slumbering and was still a little confused about the situation.His body felt well rested and completely fine now, despite all the damage he’d taken during his fight with the higher spirit of fire.It was something that most might think of as unusual, however he didn’t have any such thoughts about it. To him that was normal, as his body is one that is generally hard to wound, and also heals extremely quickly.What was a strange feeling however, was to wake up somewhere so far away from where he’d initially fainted, to see Elyenora sleeping softly beside him like nothing had happened before this, it was a

    Along the dirt paved road, a carriage shook slightly after each hole and rock that its wheels passed. The duo of princess and monster stood in the front seat and watched as more greeneries came into view, silently enjoying the journey.“Hey, Mon’Ter.” Elyenora piped up and turned to look at him.“Yes... What is it... Ely?” Mon’Ter asked with his raspy voice, whispering in reply.“I’ve got some things in the back for you, I had wanted to help you out with learning some stuff while we travel.” She explained with an excited tone, “It would be like that time I tried teaching you to read, what do you say?”“Mmm...” The monster mused for a moment, “Okay. I would like... to learn more...”Grinning joyfully, Elyenora exclaimed, “Awesome! Let’s get started then!” She turned to look behind herself and into the carriage, th

  • Mon'Ter   Chapter 45: An Elderly Granny's night stroll.

    The night was as dark as any, adding an eerie touch to the forests which Elyenora and Mon’Ter were traversing. Tonight, the sky was one nearly completely covered by clouds, thus not even the light of the stars could shine through to bring light upon the forest.The only thing you’d be able to see if you looked up, would be the silhouette of the trees’ branches with their many leaves, as well as the soft luminous glow from part of the full moon which would rightfully be dominating the sky at this time, were it not for the aforementioned clouds.Elyenora had her horses slowly ride onto the dirt paved road, using two large lanterns at each side of the front seat to help navigate the forest. She was now simply waiting for any sign to pop up and tell her that her destination was nearby.One such sign presented itself soon enough, prompting the girl’s reaction. “Oh, I think I can see some light flicke

    Smoke rose up from the ground, filling the air with its toxic gases.A small section of the village known as Miccan had been completely decimated, spreading fire to everything in the surroundings and bringing them to the same fate.In this moment, fifteen shadow like figures appeared on top of a few rooftops which were farther away from the explosion.One amongst these figures walked up to another, whom was giggling uncontrollably as he watched the flames rage on.“Blaze, stop laughing you creep! Didn’t you say that explosive wouldn’t be enough to kill princess Elyenora? This is way beyond overboard! She’s dead damn it! Dead!” He scolded with an angry tone, although his face was hidden behind a black hooded mask and no one could see his expression.“Hahaha!” The giggling person named Blaze continued his laughing, “Oh, come on, Arrow! She’s a famous sword

    Just as Mon’Ter was busy rotting on the inside, Samuel and Sereia were finally able to get back on their feet. Samuel could now see properly and move around, and Sereia had drunk a high grade healing potion that brought her back up to speed. “Agh… My back was killing me there…” Sereia said as she stretched, trying to get herself back into shape. “Do I even need to mention my head…?” Samuel held it, he still felt like it would start spinning again but thankfully it was over. “We really need to go and help Mon’Ter out,” Sereia mumbled out loud. “It seems like he got two of them but he’s facing that guy that my dad said was the best assassin in the world…” Still, they were a bit far away from the chimera and couldn’t assist him right away, especially since Mon’Ter’s fear came true. “It seems like we have our own troubles to deal with first…” Samuel pointed out as he gazed at the sky above them. “Huh? That guy again?” Sereia said in annoya

    Chapter 204: Mon'Ter versus the World's three Best Assassins

    As Mon’Ter stood in a confrontation between himself and the three assassins, Sereia and Samuel did their best to catch their bearings and get to assisting him rather than being a burden for him. Thankfully, Samuel had some recovery potions on him, but due to his issue with coordination caused by Hendrick’s eye ability, he couldn’t move his arms in the right direction much less find where he’d stored the bottles.And as for Sereia, she actually did try to get to Samuel and find the potions for him, but, given how wounded her back really was she was having some difficulty pushing herself to stand back up and move towards his bag. Of course, this would only take her seconds to do in real time, maybe ten or twenty, but in the moments of combat those seconds would be more than enough for her and him to lose their lives at once many times over.They were dealing with assassins after all, and while these assassins were definitely slowed down from the g

    Chapter 203: Mon'Ter back in action

    Just as Elyenora was dealing with Alinesia with the help of Randus’ Gravity Zone spell, so were Sereia and Samuel working on using the spell to their advantage too. Seeing as they were able to outmaneuver their respective match ups and bring down two specters, they had now managed to get away from the other two old men who’d targeted them and made their way towards where Mon’Ter was being held down by Alinesia’s parents.That, of course, didn’t take long at all with the help of Samuel’s teleportation magic.Sereia quickly landed right over the female assassin with super long nails, Allison, while Samuel waltzed right into her husband, Hendrick, and swung straight at his arms that were holding Mon’Ter’s head up close to his eye level.On Sereia’s end, things were quickly and easily dispatched. Having had the jump on the opponent she was able to instantly get Allison to dodge her first blow and leave Mon’

    Chapter 202: Randus' Gravity Zone

    With Alinesia’s light blinding everyone, Randus was able to easily move about by practicing a simple spell to allow his eyes to perceive past the blinding shine of her. He had basically created pseudo shades on his face which he used to escape from Lerroy’s immediate reach.During the course of the battle so far, the two of them had been flying high up in the air and blasting each other with all manner of magical spells, it had gotten to the point that most of the soldiers down below were getting nervous just by standing underneath them. However, Randus hadn’t just been mindlessly flying about and chucking explosions at his old master, no, of course not, he wouldn’t be where he is at today if he did something so basic.The whole time they were moving around the air space, Randus had been leaving small sigils in specific locations high above the ground and laying out a layer filled circle of magic large enough to encompass most of the existing su

    Chapter 201: Samuel and Sereia's side of the battle

    Alinesia had completed her transformation, however, she wasn’t the only one making moves during that last minute of action. There were still many people on the battlefield, and the ones who made the biggest change aside from her, were definitely Randus, Samuel and Sereia who all made good use of the previous minute or so of time.On their side of the field, just as Elyenora and Alinesia were having their clash of wills, Samuel and Sereia both found themselves pushing against their respective spectral opponents. It had gotten to the point where they were chasing after these Low ranking Arch Lord Class entities as if they were hunting rabbits.It was at this time that both Gandar, the court mage of the Royal palace and the elderly master of the assassin’s guild intervened on their little chase. Gandar shot through the sky atop a conjuration of wind and flew near enough to be within his range of Samuel, he weaved his staff and made a spiraling motion with it b

    Chapter 200: A back and forth between two female warriors

    Back to the princess’ side of the field, where she was facing off against a previous foe. Elyenora could feel that things weren’t going her way at all, she knew it in her heart with every strike she sent towards Alinesia and every second she wasted on fighting against her. But what could she do while everyone was being held back like this? There was one and only thing she could really do to try and help out.Ending the fight swiftly.Alinesia had certainly grown significantly since their last fight, she was more than the princess’ match even after Elyenora had gotten her significant growth spurt after releasing the spiritual cultivation shard from her body. However, it didn’t seem like the Lioness would be able to keep up with Elyenora if she just made a simple action and unleashed her newly acquired artifacts.“I’m sorry, but I’ll be ending our little rematch early,” the princess said as she pushed back on the fla

    Chapter 199: For how long with the balance of the two forces stay?

    Cazimir fell, cut in half and in a completely stupefied state. Someone meant to have been on his side, an ally, had just taken him down. His bloodied eyes shone with a bright light and created shadow soldiers that tried to hold him back together, barely, even as his own blood and organs left his body to splatter down on the ground. “W–wh–y…?” Cazimir asked as only one of his eyes barely managed to move and look at Finn. “Because you interfered where it was not your place, stupid assassin,” Finn said, his eyes wider than an open door and staring the vampire down with intense pressure behind his every word. “Couldn’t you follow simple instructions? I told you. Don’t interfere with my fight. Leonidas is mine to do battle with.” “Bast–ard…” Cazimir barely mumbled out, and with another glow of his eyes he forced the soldiers to move him about ten meters away from the now enemy. With yet another glow, he summoned out a potion that fell from a litt

    Alinesia glared at Elyenora with her fiery blade burning at her side. “It’s sure been a while, hasn’t it?”“You again?!” Elyenora clicked her tongue, she had been forced to stop right in her tracks by her once again, for the second time. “Why are you here!?”“Why?” Alinesia grit her teeth. “Did you seriously ask me why, you blond bimbo?!”“What?” The princess felt a little taken aback by the assassin’s words. “Don’t you understand what you’re working towards right now? Do you even know what my brother is trying to do!? It’s all foolish! Why would you work for him? You’re smarter than that!” Elyenora tried to change her mind if she could, though, it didn’t seem like Alinesia was here for money or anything of the sort by the look on her face.“You think I’m here just because that prince twat brother of yours asked t

    Chapter 197: The Battle for the Throne begins

    “We kill all of them to get to him,” Mon’Ter’s voice reverberated throughout the entire space, being heard by everyone that surrounder him and his comrades.It caused several laughs to erupt, which then continued into multiple more and more until the entire enemy legion made a laughing stock out of Mon’Ter’s words.“Bold words from someone bound to die,” Gandar, the royal court mage, snickered at his words. “Who even are you, boy? Another knight? Not with that get up you’re not. Perhaps a mage? Shall I teach you some proper manners in speech?”“I’d actually like that,” Mon’Ter said truthfully. “But it’s not the time to be learning manners.”His hand extended and his fingers grew as his nails elongated into sharp swords capable of piercing the thickest of hides and slashing the hardest of steels. The strange development caused many to put their guard
