Red fell on the floor after a gruesome training session in her training room. Her panting body kept going up and down as sweat danced about her muscle-toned body. She then looked at the man standing next to her. He wore a dark robe and had a black mask over his face."What do you want, Grimm?"Grimm sat next to her and let out a bored yawn."Oh nothing. I just came to tell you the plan.""For the monster?"The man stretched out his hand let a gentle chilling breeze fly over his friend. She closed her eyes and smiled contently at this action."Let em rip."He took out a [Projection Stone] and holographic figures formed. Maude opened her eyes to look at what was being shown. At first, she was confused, but then noticed how easily the adventurers had been beaten by two women. What shocked her most was the woman who used giant spider legs to fight. She scrolled through her memories quickly and was suddenly reminded of Arachnes. Although that race didn't look like that, the woman's legs lo
Later that day, in the cellars.The cellar doors creaked as they were slowly opened.A man in a white lab coat holding a handbag came through the door. With dirty blonde hair and coffee brown eyes, a face that made you just want to pity him and an air that made you want to hate him even more, he was known amongst the slaves as 'That Dumb Doctor who Works for Lady Violet.' Even if he was amongst the "Sub-Circle" he wasn't treated like an authority figure, due to his lack of achievements.He looked to the far end of the room, where he saw sharp golden eyes glaring at him. Then he looked at the being in front of him. A little girl with her fingers bleeding and her skin deathly pale. He sat her up then lightly slapped her cheeks to confirm whether she was alive.The girl's eyes opened slowly. She looked around her, silently grunting at the pain she now felt. The man looked at her teeth. White fangs were growing nicely and her cheek bones looked healthy. He looked at her eyes, and nothing
Day 30So, I assumed that I had managed to escape the guys claiming to be a hero party. However, I had to give it to them. They were a whole new breed of persistent, even managing to track us down to the mansion."Tori, how old are you?"Marcus decided that that would be his first question for me.BAM!He received a dangerous knock to the head from Mira. She even bowed her head to apologise for his foolishness like she were his caretaker."Sorry, once again excuse him. Stupid and all.""Hinotori-sama, these humans are weird."Nukeme whispered into my ear. I let out a tired sigh.'How did you guys find me?'I asked them."Answer my question first, then we answer yours!"'And that is?'"How old are you?"He asked again. Right now he was becoming quite insufferable, but since I had nothing other than time on my hands, I think I could go at least humour them for now.'How old do you think I am?'"I don't know… thirteen? Twelve? Ten?"'Interesting.'"So you are twelve?"'Do I really look s
We had to pay 1 gold coin each to even participate in the auction. Several soldiers of D and C rank were constantly patrolling the area or standing guard. The servants were moving about quickly and not being a bother to anyone. I even noticed that some statues and portraits had some weird sort of magic tool in them. According to the agent, it allowed the security to know if there was anything weird by sensing any change in mana, aura or heat of the participants. That was simply how high tier this thing was. I started to feel out of my depth here, but I calmed down. "That's strange… shouldn't there be a lot of people attending the auction?"I asked and Nukeme shrugged. "There have to be people who can actually buy the things going for the auction in the first place."Ignis said nonchalantly and walked over to the big man in a black suit wearing a mask. He handed over 4 gold coins and the man accepted the money with a gleeful expression, before giving Ignis two golden tickets.'W
Larm Forest, Wolf King's Cave"B-Boss… where are you going?"A wolf asked Shiroi as she took big heavy steps towards the portal in the center of the cave."What sort of question is that? The leader summons me. I must heed to her call."The black wolf looked at his sister from the corner of his eye. Before, those two were giants amongst the other wolves, but now, he couldn't even compare to her in terms of size. It was a surprising development he hadn't expected."If there wasn't a portal, were you going to run all the way to the city?""If it was necessary, I would have. And I am certain that if it is me, as I am now, it wouldn't take even half a day to do so. However…""Where does that lead to?""Wherever the leader is at the moment.""Si-"She glared at her younger brother, her violet eyes faintly glowing."Enough questions. I'm leaving."The wolf jumped through the portal and it closed up behind her. The black wolf sat up and looked at the spot where his sister once laid.'Maybe I'
Above Hellish Bite, Keimen City As I looked over the city, my mind was going through several things. Before I realized that since Yokino’s plan had come apart, there was no need for subtleties anymore. I would just go in there and take back Ulva. But to do that, I’d need to get help from the monsters in Larm, which they would need preparation for. [Hinotori: Gorm, Reiman, Ichi and the others. I need you to get the forces ready for an attack. I’ll teleport you guys here when you are done.] I sent this message to them and so it wouldn’t be long now till they saw and got off their butts. But before then, I would need to start something to minimize casualties on my side since I wasn’t really sure about this. "[Shadow Being Summoning]." A black substance dropped from my leg and formed a black ball beneath me. I found that to be odd since that wasn’t how the first time went. > ‘What?’ DING! [The Goddess of Endless Darkness
BOOM!The ground of the Hellish Bite restaurant collapsed under the pressure of the force coming from beneath. Luckily, there were no customers around at the moment, so no one was injured. The building on the other hand caved in as two auras burst out. Mist escaped from beneath as they clashed.Clashed? Yes. Two varying mists of different intensities clashed in a vicious manner. One mist so solid one might actually feel a punch from it and the other so soft one might find it a comfy pillow. However, the light one was obviously of a higher quantity than the solid.Two wolves formed from the solid mist, their purple eyes glaring about at the soft mist. Back-to-back, observing the mist and waiting for something. Anything. Then it came. One of them jumped into the blind and swiped.Surprisingly, it landed a strike on the tired Yokino who quickly receded to the cover of her mist.“Give it up Spider King. My mist wolves are too much for you.”Shiroi’s voice reverberated through the mist for
Yokino dropped from the roof top silently. She surveyed her surroundings to ensure that no one had noticed her. That is, no one but the person currently tailing her.“You can come out, you know? I’m not going to bite you or anything.”She said. There was no response.“Men like you are such a bore, you know? You probably don’t even have a woman at your side.”The ground crunched as someone approached her. To her side she noticed a man shrouded in the darkness with only a red light coming from his forehead. His features were too hidden to be made out for her, even though she possessed [Night Vision].“What are you doing in this city. It’s quite the journey to Larm.”The spider king’s lips curved upwards slightly.“I know right? But the thing is, I’m under orders from someone I believe you are familiar with. So It’d be best you don’t bother me while I’m enjoying my stay.”“Oh? Someone I’m familiar with? May I know who you speak of, then?”“Oh my. I wouldn’t dare speak the name of the Duc
