Old Man

Shian swung his scythe wildly, severing and dissecting several beasts at the same time, he tried his best not to move his legs too much because of the pain that might distract him, but some beasts unknowingly forced him to, and those beasts... He gave them a very cruel death.

A beast charged at him with its horns, aiming to gore him to death, Shian jumped to the side and avoided it but his legs were strained in the process.

Shian gritted his teeth and gave the beast a threatening stare, if stares could kill, the beast would have died a dozen times already. The beast felt a shiver run down its spine, it ignored the threatening gaze of Shian and charged at him again. Shian who was slashing at a beast suddenly stopped, caught the horns of the beast charging at him and snapped them, the beast wailed but it was short-lived as Shian stabbed the beast to death with its own horns and then...he smiled.

'Have a taste of your own medicine' He thought coldly.

The beast he had neglected to kill so as to exert revenge swung its scaled tail and whacked Shian brutally on his stomach. He powered through it and pierced the head of the creature with his scythe. Shian summoned his trident to make his killing faster and began his assault once again.

Shian moved nimbly between the beasts, causing carnage wherever he passed, beasts fell left and right. Shian made sure he didn't get surrounded so as to prevent them from ganging up on him, he killed them in a way that their dead bodies formed a barrier that prevented the beasts from attacking him from his blind spots.

Meanwhile, as Shian was having the 'best' time of his life, a bent old man cladded in blue armour and a large great sword strapped to his back was watching Shian from a distance, he had blue hair with strips of grey in them, he was floating leisurely in the air as if everything happening around him wasn't his concern, but he had an unnerving smile on his face that made anyone who looked at him feel uncomfortable.

'This boy...he's good, I've not seen anyone with such a powerful physique that is not part of the five pillars of earth, I wonder just how much he can keep this up' The old man thought as his eyes glowed a faint golden color.

Shian felt a sudden rise in his strength, he doubled his kill and within an hour he had massacred all the beasts that were left, some where killed with a light cut on their vital parts while some couldn't even be recognized anymore as they had been disfigured beyong recognition.

'Damn!, I never knew I could do it' As Shian was thinking, the old man made a move, he slowly descended to the ground and the moment his feet touched the ground he disappeared with a bang. He moved so fast he broke through the sound barrier. Shian who was about to celebrate his victory by rebandaging his wounds flinched and summoned his weapons again.

The old man came to a stop in the front and another horde of wild beasts, they immediately tried to attack him but he released something akin to an aura from his body and they immediately retreated, full of fear. He attacked them from one of their sides and they began to run in the opposite direction, towards where Shian was.

The old man grinned and said to himself.

'Lets see how long you can last boy.'

__________

Shian meanwhile had given up when he saw that there was no danger in his area...

'...for now at least' he thought.

Shian moved to a safe place and began the process of wrapping his wounds up, this time he disinfected them before he closed it with a bandage to prevent tetanus from entering his body through it.

As he finished the task, he lay on the ground and closed his eyes to rest for a while before continuing his journey, he didn't even rest for up to one minute before he felt the ground shake again, he looked up and saw a horde of beasts just as much as the ones he finished annihilating speeding towards him.

'Tarnation' he cursed.

Shian wanted to cry, he had just finished taking out large number of beasts and didn't have time to rest, yet another one the same size was heading towards him. Shian's feeling turned to that of anger, he felt the sudden rise in his strength again and charged towards the beast without his weapons, he really looked suicidal that way, but he alone knew what he was doing.

The old man who had lured the beasts towards Shian and boosted his strength also smiled at himself and thought.

'I really hope he has a plan'

Shian who was oblivious to what was happening was running with a frantic expression on his face, the beasts that had already sighted him, hurried their charge and at the last moment when he had almost reached the beasts, Shian jumped and summoned a large war hammer, he swung it out fiercely at the charging beasts, immediately it touched the first beast a devastating shockwave rocked their ranks, killing several of them and injuring more. The ones that survived where pushed back and their charge was stopped.

The old man watching Shian was perplexed, he never expected Shian to do something that incredible and at the same time insane. But the old man was yet to see the real deal.

Shian took off his right blue gauntlet and summoned a grey one, he punched his right hand with his left hand five times, each hit was powerful and by the time he had punched it the fifth time it was glowing, everything happened within a split second, but it was enough for the beasts to attack him. Shian dodged to the side and a sharp spiked tail flew past his face barely missing his face, he activated the ability of his blue gauntlets and jumped, his boots glowed and then he was five meters ahead.

'hmmm...this will be interesting' The old man thought.

As Shian came down, he shouted and punched the ground with his two hands right where the blood of the dead beasts were. This time an explosion though not as large as the previous one but more potent pushed against the beasts, rupturing their insides and killing some of them on the spot, the ones that where lucky enough to survive the explosion where electrocuted and stunned, unable to move, Shian wasted no time and began his killing spree.

While all this happened the old man watched him for a while and then he moved and all the beasts attacking Shian dropped dead with blood spilling out of their necks.

"What!!" Shian said as his vision blurred and he passed out.

    "Umm...Do you know us?" Maya asked curiously."My father had only one good friend amongst all the friends that he had when he was a hunter for a certain someone. When he had a disease, that friend didn't leave him, he always came to visit to check up on my dad, even when all the others left him —heck even my mum left him— until recently, he stopped coming to visit." Shian sighed. "That friend, his name was Ryan Blackwill."The old man wasn't looking too good, it seemed like what Shian said had shaken him for some reason."My son!!, Ryan Blackwill is my son." The old man said. Considering the way he said it, something seemed to have happened. "What happened to him?" "Ryan died a few weeks ago." Maya sighed and replied gloomily. "He was assassinated.""I'm...so sorry about that" Shian said."Anyways, you might want to head back to earth..." Maya spoke but was cut off by Shian who was already standing up from the bed."Yeah, I really want to go back, like, right now. This planet has giv

    Grandpa Enzo led the way out of the room, but before they left, Shian took a good look at the room, it was wide with white walls on each side and nothing in it except the portal in which they came through. "Why did we come through this portal, I thought we were supposed to come out through a portal in a military base?" Shian asked."The portal we used to head to that beast planet belongs to the military, but the one we just used to come back here is connected to this one we just came through." Grandpa Enzo explained while pointing to the red shimmering portal behind them. "So if you want to go back to the beast planet, you have to use the portal that belongs to the government, right?" Shian asked. "Hmm...not really. You see..." Grandpa Enzo was about to say something but changed his mind. "Nevermind, you're correct."They left the room and he led Shian down the long corridor, the walls where bare with nothing except the windows.'I thought they were rich, aren't rich families suppos

    Shian and the blind boy in the conical hat fell on their butts with a thud, the sound waves from the shout was that powerful. Luckily their ear drums didn't burst.Grandpa Enzo could be seen standing in front of the open double doors, he walked down the stairs and stood between Shian and the blind boy."Why where the two of you fighting?!!" Grandpa Enzo said with a vein bulging at the side of his head at the lack of a reply from any of them, he was getting really angry that they where just staring at seemingly nothing in particular without even making an attempt to answer him. This was the first time Shian saw this part of Grandpa Enzo, he always appeared to be a gentle old man, but when he snapped, all the image of a gentle man was replaced with the aura of a predator ready to pounce on its prey, Shian was terrified to the point where he answered automatically without thinking of what he was about to say."I don't know." Shian said.This reply seemed to only make Grandpa Enzo more an

Grandpa Enzo barely had enough time to react and all he could do was hold Ryan's leg before he could deal another kick to the already down Shian.Everything happened within a split second.Shian slid back for some meters before finally coming to a stop. He clutched his chest with his face down, he breathed in and out heavily.As he received the kick from Ryan, a memory surfaced in his mind.

"A speed ability." Shian muttered to himself.He followed the direction of the wind and saw a young man and woman in the room, they both had blue clothing that had the Blackwill's crest on the left side of their chest, the man was carrying the lady in his arms, he carefully placed her down and the lady got to work, she went over to Ryan and knelt down by his side, she stretched her hands over him and

    It was a bright and sunny day, and Shian was feeling energetic, he jumped out of bed and cleaned himself up, he put on some clothes and tied his hair back, some weren't long enough to reach the head band and dropped down the sides of his face. He looked at himself in the mirror for a long time and smiled, his glittering sapphire blue eyes, his smooth skin and his tall muscular frame and long white hair made him handsome, he wore a blue shirt and a black pair of trousers, everything coupled together, he looked like an award winning model."Damn I'm handsome." He said out loud."You wish." A reply came from his side.Ryan was standing by the door, he had been watching Shian gawking at himself for a while and only spoke when Shian commented on his handsomeness."WHAT THE!!!, You're supposed to knock before entering, what if I was...""Dude, I can't see, remember?"

Shian asked as he grabbed his throbbing head.He looked around, confused, until he regained his bearings and remembered what had happened, though he didn't know why what happened, happened.He sent Alucard a glance, and saw him standing to the side... with a frown.What had caused Alucard to frown? There were only two times Shian had seen him show any another expression, except an unnerving smile which he always had, on his face.The first time was when Adam pestered him on their first day in the dormitory, and the second was when he fought the beast horde in the Myriad Scapes Dungeon.Then, Alucard had showed another expression due to some reasons unknown to him. All in all, the only time he wasn't smiling, was either when the situation was too serious to joke with, or... he was just not in the mood. Shian tilted his head to the side and raised a brow. "Why am I on the floor?"Alucard almost seemed to choke on his saliva after hearing that odd question. Why was

    Adaptability

    Shian rested peacefully that night, somewhat, and woke up full of vital energy flowing through him. He took care of himself in the bathroom, emptied his bowels, and did all the stuffs boys did, before walking out of his room in his clean black ACU. He had woken up early today, and got out before anyone else to have some free time. Though what he didn't expect was for Alucard to be waiting for him by the door, in the hallway. Alucard turned his head and smiled at him as he walked out, and without giving him the chance to voice out his shock, gestured for him to follow. Shian closed his mouth and moved after Alucard, catching up to him with large strides."How long have you been awake?" Shian asked after a few seconds of silence."Demons of my level don't need much sleep." Alucard simply replied without pausing in his steps. "I've been awake since yesterday."Shian stared at him weirdly but didn't say anything. He just kept on following for a few minutes, until they got to a buildin

    Unknown to Alucard, his Ability had caused the defence of one of the Second Years, whose fort was defending, to crumble into dust, a never seen before scene. Though he had accomplished this easily by sending out a ball of Pulverizing Death Charge, they hadn't escaped easily. They all crashed on the ground simultaneously and coughed up mouthfuls of blood. It seemed like one of the seniors had an invisible attack, or an attack that was just so fast it escaped their vision. Shian, Adam and Alucard had it worse, they were the closest to the attack and hadn't even seen what happened before their danger sense tingled and they shot back, still, they suffered injuries. "Shit!" Adam cursed as blood pooled beneath him. And Ironically, Shian, Adam and Alucard who were the closest were the ones who recovered fastest. Their Vampiric Genes gave them healing traits, though not as strong as one would expect, but still fast enough for them to recover faster than their peers. Alucard stood, dusted h

    Everyone stopped to take a look at who had just spoken... then Adam burst into a fit of laughter, rolling on the ground and alternating between wheezing, coughing and shedding tears. He had been holding his laugh all the way from Shian's encounter with the behemoth Beasts, and now he had heard another joke of the year, how could he not laugh?"Shian... Smite?..." Shian asked, his face turning red from anger and embarrassment. Why was everyone embarrassing him lately? Who had he wronged? And why the hell was he called Smite?!! "Sorry, we don't know who that is?" Shian said after some seconds of pause. "Huh?! But you meet the perfect description given to us." The boy who called Shian's name wrongly, pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and began to read out loud. "Long white hair, Pale White skin, Blue eyes, Lean physique, Sharp jawline, Long..."With each word spoken, Shian's anger didn't quell, neither did it increase. He had the urge to punch the member of the Slumbering Pred

    Visitors

    Shian trudged forward silently with a deep frown on his face, Adam behind him was trying his best to hold back a laugh, causing his black face to turn beet red. Alucard didn't mind the duo, he minded his own business and moved along steadily. Shian turned to stare at the Double Bladed War Scythe in his hands and mumbled some words to himself. Earlier, he had tried to make the Metal Symbiote devour one of the behemoth of a Beast he had seen during their first hour in the Myriad Scapes Dungeon. The beast was obviously the large mountains that no Beast dared get too close to. His joy knew no bounds when he saw the Symbiote began to move towards it, but just as quickly as he got happy, he became horrified. The Symbiote was thrown back by an invisible force and collided with Shian, knocking the wind out of him. Immediately after, he head a voice in his head."Get Out."Never had Shian been so pissed and embarrassed in his life. The blatant disregard of the Beast was like a tight slap

    Metal Symbiote

    Shian danced on his feets like he was crazy. The thing on his face writhing like the mass of flesh it was, but having a sturdy feel to it that made Shian's face deform under its movements. With some efforts, Shian was able to push it off and distance himself. His weapon in hand, Shian prepared for any sudden movement. Blood and sweat drizzled down his face, painting a wild image of him. If anyone saw him right now, they'll be sure to run for their lives because of the look he was giving and how hard he was clenching his Kusarigama. The Symbiote on the ground squirmed and squished, making Shian shudder in disgust and causing goosebumps to erupt on his skin. "Shian." Alucard and Adam who had been watching Shian all this while, finally came towards him. Alucard's smile was a bit wider than usual, but Shian wasn't in the right state of mind at the moment to notice such a thing. "That thing that repulses you, is a Symbiote, a Metal Symbiote to be precise.""...How do you know that?" S
