The whole crowd went wild when they heard Judy's proclaimation.She and Theo were friends?!The most interesting part was, she admitted it herself!Abel's face sank, turning a shade of purple."They are just friends? why are you guys booing around like it's something major?" Becky glared at the crowd who were already gossiping amongst themselves.Many rolled their eyes as they cussed her inwardly.'You think it's easy to make friends with young miss Judy?''Pui! Pui! those at the top have no idea what we at the bottom go through'Abel snorted and lefting. Staying behind would only leave him with embarrassment.However, just as he was at the entrance, he bumped into someone."Huh?"Both parties gasped. However, Theo was quicker."How dare you hurt my friends huh?" he threw a punch at Abel's chest.The latter was completely helpless and could only watch as the punch approached it's target.But at the last seconds, a pale palm blocked the punch.Pa!Abel felt a strong but cold wind blow
The next day, Theo went to the logistics department in the Academy to file for a leave.Judy volunteered to refine the pills and even provide ninety five percent of the ingredients.However, she didn't have the last three ingredients, which happened to be the most crucial ones.Without them, the Marrow purging pill couldn't be refined. Judging by the way Judy described them, Theo was certain that they couldn't be bought, even if you had enough money.As such, he decided to join the Magic Knights Association. Maybe, if his luck was good, he might stumble upon one of the ingredients among a ruin's loot."Remember, three months time is the Academy's excursion. I heard that the ruins once belonged to a runechemist. If you miss this opportunity, i doubt you'd ever find one in your life again" the fatty behind the counter advised Theo, while handing him the pass permit."I'll be sure not to miss it" Theo wouldn't even miss the excursion even without the fatty's warning.Although he smelt so
Theo felt a sting on his cheeks. He glared sharply at the Burly man."What was that for?""Hmph. We brothers want to dine in this restaurant" the burly man harrumphed."How does that concern me?" Theo gritted his teeth with indignation."You are pretty brave. What i mean is, you should give up your table for we brothers" the burly man laughed wildly.Realization dawned on Theo. As it turns out, these group of three were just trying to bullly him - a defenseless fifteen year old.Using the eye of illusion, he was able to sense the cultivation of the three men.The leader was at the first level of primary rank while his two entourage were at the peak of the novice rank.Theo breathed in relief."Misters. This isn't right. The table is wide enough to accomodate us all" Theo protested."You dare question Boss Neo? That's it brat, drop all the money you have and scram out of this restaurant!" the man standing at Neo's left side barked. AsTheo sneered inwardly. He finally realized their re
Ruins.. there were two types of them. Inheritance Ruins and Spatial Ruins. Spatial Ruins although were seen as a source of great fortune for Knights, they were regarded as terror to civilians. Once upon a time, there was a strange phenomenon where the gates leading to these ruins burst open, releasing the terrifying alien race onto humanity. Many lives were lost. However, a brave band of warriors known as the Anti Race movement began resisting the invasion. When they finally succeeded, they were celebrated as global heroes and became the first Knights. It wasn't Theo's first time exploring a ruins, howevever, the ones in the past had a different feel, compared to the one he was currently exploring. Although regarded as a ruins, it was actually an independent world. However, there was no sun or moon and the skies were riddled with tiny glittering stars. Chop! Chop! Chop! Graham sliced trees after trees as he led his squad in a steady advance.Everybody was stern, their ears
When Theo got into the ruins, he couldn't find a single trace of the Moon Shatter snake.Summoning the Heaven cleaving axe, he began chopping down all the trees in sight, in a bid to create a large commotion and get the dire beast's attention.His efforts paid off because moments later, a tail whipped towards his direction, aiming to smash him into meat paste."Hmph!" Theo swung towards the tail that was missing some part of it's original length, perfectly slicing it in halves.Coupled with his raw strength and the power of a mid grade primary rank armament, slicing off the tough scales were no hassle for Theo.The Moon Shatter snake hissed in annoyance.It attempted to flee, but would Theo let it go?Not a chance!Swinging the axe like a sling, he whipped it towards the fleeing serpent.The axe shot out like a bullet, smashing the serpent's head into blood and gore.And just like that, the mighty Moon Shatter serpent died.Theo walked over and began inspecting the corpse.The Moon Sh
"Fortune Dragon?" Theo repeated.-[It is a Fortune Dragon! it's a real fortune Dragon!] Izreel's tone excited. "Is the fortune dragon amazing?" Theo enquired sceptically. -[Amazing? you have no idea. They are the offsprings of the great Wish Dragon! they understand the great mysteries of the world. No fortune can hide before their discerning eyes. By just moving an inch, they can discover millions of treasure troves!] "Ole dragon say, aren't you exaggerating a bit?" "-[t is no exaggeration. There is only one per universe. Ah! your luck is too good to stumble on the temple of a Fortune Dragon!] "Hehe. Maybe lady luck keeps favouring me because of my good looks?" Theo smiled shyly.-[You wish! do you know that you are half as handsome as a pig?] Izreel scorned. "Atleast, i am twice as handsome as you ever will be"-[What did you just say brat?!] "Nothing! i was just tripping for your suaveness and awesome bearing"-[Tsk. What a glib tongue]Theo walked over to the huge gate. Howe
Star Dust Auction. It was one of the Trade mark business establishment of Star Dust corporation, a powerful force at the state level.It had many branches spread out far and wide, and one just happened to be located at Small flower Town.Steppin Heights was the most busiest neighbourhood in the town. However today, the population was more than doubled.This was because Star Dust auction house would be launching their bi-annual auction.Many people began to flock towards the huge auction building in a steady stream. Theo happened to be among the crowd.He wore baggy clothes and a hoodie to conceal his face. Wrapped around his neck was a yellow snake.Which was actually Gusu in disguise."Honestly, what's the probability of me getting anything precious in this auction?" Theo whispered softly to the Fortune Dragon."Not saying anything!" Gusu huffed."Fine. Here you do!" Theo fished out a a worm stuck in a skewer stick.Gusu became elated, chomping down on it."Glutton" Theo mumbled.It'
The whole hall fell silent. The words "ten thousand dynocores' kept ringing in the ear of everyone present."Tsk. I have bidded already, why haven't you announced the result?" that same old croaky voice snorted with displeasure.Benito finally got a grip of herself."Strange painting going for ten thousand dynocores""Going once.. going twice..""Fifteen thousand!" Theo hurriedly screamed at the top of his lungs.He didn't quite believe Gusu at first, but after witnessing somebody bidding heavily on the strange painting, he had to reconsider.The crowd who were about to recover from their shock, fell into another mire again.Damn! was money that easy to find?! At a secluded corner in the hall, an old lady with a hunched back scanned the whole hall grimly. Besides her was a teenage boy with sinister eyes."Grandma, i thought we are the only ones aware of the Ancestral painting?" the sinister youth frowned.His name was Nero.Granny Busiwa squinted her eyes."It is not entirely impossib
