The Delta Squad helicopter kept flying and soon reached Dilion Research Facility, managed by Doctor Roach.They stepped out of the helicopter and entered the facility, once again led by the Facility Security Guards. They were brought to Doctor Roach."Mr. Xander. You're back. May |ask what brought you here this time? " Doctor Roach asked as he saw Xander standing before him."Four of our agents are dead, " Xander replied lazily."Ah, that's sad to know, but what can I do about this? "Doctor Roach asked in confusion."I can't bring them to life. No matter how much science has advanced, it still isn't there yet.""You will know after I tell you who did this. They were killed by the boy that you claimed to be dead. Did this light any bulbs in your mind, Doctor? " Xander inquired."Shawn?! " Doctor Roach exclaimed, surprised.First, they claimed that Shawn was alive. Then they claimed that he had killed innocent civilians. And now they claim that he had killed APF Variants? Were they messi
"General Maxwell, if you think thatIf it is him, then you don'tknow the whole situation. Caen isThe commander of the Level 1 branchof Variant Uprising according toOur information, Xander countered right away.Placing his hand on the tablebefore him, he further asked, "He isnot a Warlock. He only has onePhysical Power of Shapeshifting.He can't use any other powers. Hecan explain the looks of the boy,but how can you explain the boybeing able to use the powers ofZale Azarel and Clarisse? Xander knew that it was a stupid excuse. A person being able to use over two powers at once and most of them being similar to the powers of the Strongest Warlock and the Strongest Mage, only their son should be able to do that.""Did you see him use his powers?Is there a video of that which I cansee?" General Maxwell inquiredwith an amused smile on his face.General Maxwell had also gotteninvolved in this case. He was alsocollecting information, but so far,no video has surfaced of Shaw
"There is another theory thatmakes things complicated. If wego about it the wrong way, we'll beplaying right into the hands ofVariant Uprising. Keep that imageto yourself. Don't tell anyone. Xander disconnected the call aftertelling them to stop and steppedinside the helicopter that waswaiting for them.The helicopter's rotors startedmoving as it started rising in the airand left.Flourance curious about something. sat beside Xander,"What did you talk to Maxwellabout? You seem a bit different?"Gazing back at Flourance, Xanderanswered."There seems to be a chance thatthe Variant Uprising is involved. Wecan't conclude that it's actuallyShawn until we get any videoevidence or witness that clearlyshows him fighting," Xander letout, shaking his head before hestarted explaining everything."Do you want to go back to base orto the location where we haveplaced our men?" Flourance askedXander."Sigh, I'm not sure anymore. If theDark Variant Uprising is involved, itmig
A woman entered the room where Caen was already sitting. Seeming like a woman in her late twenties, the woman gazed at Caen, who once again looked different.Even though Caen was different, the bracelet on his hand was exposing his identity.The woman was only slightly shorter than Caen, having a heightof 5 feet 10 inches. Her beautiful maroon hair was only long enough to come down to her chest. Her dress was already revealing a lot of her cleavage that could have easily attracted many manly gazes, but Caen didn't seem to care for her."Nice to meet you too, Isona. Goodto see that you're on time and notat all late," Caen commented sarcastically as he gazed at Isona'sbeautiful blue eyes."A girl needs her time to get ready. The others are even more late than me, so save your sarcasm for them." Isona chuckled as she replied. Stepping forward, she sat in the seat, which was right next to Caen. Isona was the leader of Level 2 here. She was an S-Rank mage with the ability to rule over
Vega looked at them as he sighed.“You all don't see it, do you?” he stared at them before shaking his head.“Allow me to tell you the story, perhaps it will give you a clue as to what's going on.”*Footsteps of dozens of men running can be heard in the corridor. A young and handsome army officer is running in front followed by dozens of soldiers in uniforms, fully equipped with guns."Quick, we have to catch him before it's too late. " The young officer commanded his subordinates in an anxious tone. After taking a turn they saw a corridor which had a large room on the other side. Everyone increased their pace and the young officer quickly opened the large door and entered the room.What they saw almost made them puke their guts out. A bloody stench invaded their nostrils and the room was littered with the corpses of dozens of armed men.One look and they recognised them as a private force.The soldiers who entered the room were special forces of Alorea and they saw many bloody sc
Sam slowly open his eyes only to see endless darkness around him. ahead of him a few feet away there stood a young man who seem to be in his early thirties as his gaze was directed towards him. The man has an extraordinary bearing to him that makes one feel as though they are watching a superior being. the handsome face,sword like eyebrows, sharp gaze everything only made the bearing more Majestic.'Am I dead? Or am I still alive? Or is this a hallucination? ' Sam thought to himself. At this moment the Majestic young man suddenly spoke."You are really dead. You are currently in your soul form which I captured. I am Ling tian.""So,you are saying that you captured my soul after I was shot dead? " Sam asked with an astounded gaze."Yes". Ling Tian replied"Why? Sam asked, bewildered. He didn't get why he was still here and can't believe this situation. It all felt like a dream to him. He didn't believe a soul exists until now."Because | saw potential in you which was
*chirp**chirp**chirp*Sounds of birds chirping can be heard as dawn slowly arrived. Sun can be seen slowly rising in the east where a volcano is emitting a faint trail of smoke. Word of the village is that this village actually doesn't exist in the first place but for some reason 500 years ago a dormant volcano under sea became active and that lava created this village. That's the reason this is called 'lava rock village'.Sam is slowly walking through the streets with his shirt on but two gaping holes can be clearly seen on his shirt and it is completely filled with blood stains. Only few villagers can be seen on the streets as it is still early. Sam slowly made his way to his house."Hey Sam, you are back. I was just about to come to that clinic to see you. "Michael's voice can be heard from behind."Hi Uncle Michael. I was already feeling good by the time I woke up so I came back myself. " Sam replied."Okay you go wash up and come to my house we will go to br
Sam slowly started going through his memories to see what those cultivation techniques were. As soon as he started concentrating on the memory his consciousness suddenly drifted into an unknown world where a book was floating in front of his eyes. When he slowly touched the book, it transformed into a beam of light and entered the space between his brows. Then he acquired some previously unknown knowledge.The information is mainly regarding his spiritual core and body constitution. From this information he came to know that his spiritual core is not useless like the inspectors said. It is just somewhat unique. After the cultivation stage is the Initiation stage which consists of further 3 sub-stages. These sublevels are respectively known as the initial, middle, and late stages. Each of these three sub-stages is divided into further three levels, which are indicated by numbers.Therefore, the initiation stage has a total of nine levels. The initiation stage is common for both Warr
IT ENDS HERE"I see now. Everyone has a story to tell." Black Heart sighed."Very well, locate Jian and Akira, it's time we finish this the right way.""Already did Father." Erik said with a smile."I'm not saying I forgive you for ditching us and going all bloodlust back then, but for Japan, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones." Jian said as he opened the door leading to the roof."What Jian meant to say is that, it's nice to see you again Mr Black Heart." Akira said with an amiable smile."I'm glad you two are not against me. Now, what shall we do about our numbers. We barely have enough men to take down the Triads manor " Black Heart said."I have a few men, they are my closest aides in the Yakuza, and they will storm the manor tonight. During the chaos we will be able to go deep into the manor." Akira said."Splendid! it ends here!" Black Heart exclaimed in Joy.*The streets of Tokyo's Shinjuku district were always alive with activity, but tonight they pulsed with tension. The
“Hey you! Get out of here before I do something nasty!” the toy salesman shouted at Lucifer when he saw the teenage boy staring at the glass case. Lucifer paid him no heed and the man's face twisted in a grimace."Guards! This kid is not listening. Take this useless kid and throw him out!" The salesman said as he looked towards the guards."I am not useless!" Lucifer suddenly roared as he was again called useless. Black Thunder started cracking around him, shocking even the salesman. His voice seemed to contain a mysterious power that made it as intimidating as the roar of a lion. Not only the salesman but even the red-haired man was shocked as he looked back."Get back! He is an Awakened One! Move back; he is losing..." The red-haired man let out in warning, but it was too late. Before he could even complete his sentence, he saw Lucifer holding the neck of the man and crushing it entirely.The guards were horrified as they saw the salesman being killed. They raised their guns and aim
"Don't laugh at him. He might be homeless orphan who found some old clothes of someone in a dumpster or something, the woman replied to her son."There are many like him. Just ignore him." She continued walking holding her son's arm. while Lucifer heard the child's words and gazed at his clothes. It was right. He did think he looked odd. He once again shifted his blank gaze towards the child- sİzed mannequin that had clothed that was going to fit him perfectly. He started walking towards the shop instead. Just as he was walking towards the doors, another person was walking in his direction.It was a young red-haired man who was wearing a green t-shirt and black pants. He had donned a black coat over his clothes that had a Red Eagle Symbol on the chest. The man seemed to be in his mid-twenties only.Lucifer stepped closer to the shop and reached out his hand to open the door, but to his surprise, the doors slid to the side on their own as soon as he got near. Tilting his head slightly,
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, giving the world some warmth. Refreshing winds were flowing through the city of Ikrego, brushing against Lucifer's face as he reached the new city. The city seemed a bit bigger than anything he had seen before. In fact, it happened to be even biggerbthan the Legion City, which was the largest city he had seen before.There were beautiful houses everywhere. Even though Lucifer hadn't stepped inside the city, he could still see the beautifulbstructures of the city. There were also two tall statues placed at the entrance of the city of Ikrego, which seemed to look like humans. Lucifer didn't know about this, but the statues belonged to the previous heads of the Red Eagles Guild, which had its headquarters inside the city.Red Eagles was a guild that consisted of Hunters who went inside Dungeons to keep the Monster Index in control. Even though it was a big group and part of the Hunter Association, it hadn't always been an organization. In fact, it
Xander and Flourance were shocked when they saw the footage of the inhumane torture on a fifteen-year-old kid. They could see the boy's body twisting and turning in pain before he ultimately stopped moving.Xander was clenching his fist uncontrollably. Flourance was also shocked."This is torture! How can they be so inhumane to a little child?" Flourance commented."So they killed the boy, and now he's back for revenge. There is no Dark Variant Uprising angle in this anymore. It's all a tragedy made by humans." he further added, still enraged."Because of their stupidity, they put the whole world in danger." Xander hadn't spoken anything. But his face was saying everything. He seemed enraged, as if he wanted to destroy something.However, something happened. All his anger disappeared as a calm and serene emotion overtook him. His other ability had started acting. It was his Emotion Control that kept his emotion in control and prevented him from losing emotions whenever he was about t
Drak instantly opened his eyes and looked at Xander as he heard the words. It was as if his pained nerves were pressed. He also noticed a picture in Xander's hands was that of his sister and his mother."Are you threatening me?" Drak asked, frowning."How low can you fall? Going after my family?""You said you don't care if the world is destroyed. I'm just reminding you. If the world is destroyed, then don't forget, your family is a part of this world too. It would not only affect you and me but millions of people like her too." Xander replied calmly."I read your file, and I know about your family. The Beta team had also managed to locate your family when they were trying to find you," he further continued, ignoring the question as he walked closer to Drak to help him better see the image.Drak reached out his hand to hold the image, but before his hand could touch the picture, it was burned to ashes in the flames that appeared in Xander's hand out of nowhere."Do you want to know ab
The silence in Ayn's office was ultimately broken by her sigh itself."Alright. I'Il allow you to meet him. I won't let him leave the cell, though. You can take a laptop to his cell and have him help you." She stopped using her powers. Xander also stopped at the same time."He would not help you for no reason, though," She muttered as she placed her fingers on her chin."Leave that to me. I'll handle that. All you need to do is let me enter his cell and turn off the cameras for as long as I'm inside, " Xander said with a subtle smile on hisface."Alright. " Ayn tapped a button that was on her table while she simultaneously opened a drawer, bringing a laptop out of it."One of my men will take you to the cell. I will turn off the cameras from here after you get in the cell. Here, you can use this laptop. It has a masked ID; the Military won't be able to track it even if they find the hack, " She said as she gave Xander the laptop."I appreciate it. " Suddenly, there was a knock on the
After a few minutes, Lucifer picked up the last piece as he finally moved. He started walking towards the man who had been trying to drag his frail and injured body away from Lucifer. Unfortunately, despite Lucifer giving him so much time, he wasn't able to get much farther. He could only drag himself for a few meters. Lucifer easily closed in on the distance."Forgive me! Please forgive me! I'll be a good man. I won't do it again. I swear on my life."Gazing down at the man who was holding his hands, begging Lucifer to free him. Seeing no change in Lucifer's expression despite his begging, he changed his approach.'He's a kid. AlI kids love their parents,' he thought as he decided what to do."Think about your parents. What would they think if they knew their son was a murderer? Let me go. Walk on the righteous path and make your parents proud! "Albeit, his words fell on deaf ears, it seemed. Lucifer wanted to do it the same way since the man wanted to use his feet to show his crude
Even though he had S-Rank abilities, it wasn't as easy. Despite having the same S-Rank Super Strength, his strength was nowhere near the level of his father. He didn't even have one percent strength of his father just because his control and experience were lacking. It was a newly gained power.Generally, he shouldn't have been able to use even a fraction of this power without training, but surprisingly he could. It was unclear why it was that way. Maybe because he had seen his parents use their powers previously when they trained. Or perhaps it was something else.Despite only having the fractional strength of his father, his Super Strength was way stronger than any normal human can hope to comprehend, which only showed how strong his Father must have been. That was why his father was called the Strongest Warlock. He was just in a different realm altogether.Shawn was still sitting in a forest, cooking a beast that he had hunted. There was still half a day of distance between him and
