Blood splattered after Gileyn stabbed Mayu's back while she lay dormant on the ground. Gileyn wore a mischievous grin on her face as her eyes shined, totally enjoying the scenery she was witnessing.While Almasin hurriedly rushed forward towards Gileyn with his mind completely blank, overwhelmed by rage after seeing her daughter getting stabbed from the back as her blood showered vividly, Almasin could only think of one thing. It was to murder Gileyn, who stabbed her precious daughter."Die!" As his claws came closer towards Gileyn, who stood off guard with her sword stuck on Mayu's back. Her smile showed hints of satisfaction, while Almasin was seeping with rage.As soon as his claws got closer to Gileyn's face, a shield barrier instantly blocked off his attack, pushing him back after the collision.Gileyn smirked, glancing towards Barto, who raised his hand towards her while facing Elder Beru.Garudo, on the other hand, was preparing; he gathered and circulated the mana inside him.
Draconian Knights viciously rushed towards Axel, surrounding him from all directions along with Mayu, who just got healed from her near-death experience.What's going on? Why are they all coming towards us?" Mayu wondered, confused, why the draconians were rushing towards their position.Axel stood and used his mana armament while tightly gripping his chained blades.Dalius instantly rained several swords coated in mana towards them, while Axel deflected the incoming swords simultaneously.*Clung!!!*Why...? Why is it so heavy!" Axel thought deeply while deflecting the swords that somehow overpowered him even with the boost of mana armament."Keke! A child is still a child, boy!" Dalius mumbled and laughed evilly.While Mayu suppressed the draconian knights with her ice skills, she completely created an ice barrier that had pointy edges and surrounded them with a certain radius.The Draconian Knights instantly halted their approach and took a few steps back, while Erza appeared in mid
It all happened in an instant. My body went cold all of a sudden. Before I realized it, I got shot in the chest by a wandering bullet from across the road. Which a robbery was occurring.My body turned pale. My sensations became numb, while my skin slowly became cold. "Am I going to die?" were the words that subconsciously came out of my mouth.Hearing it in my situation sounded a bit cringeworthy since I was seriously going to die anyway.My entire life was always riddled with tragedy. When I was 5, my mother died in a car accident. Leaving only me and my father. But when I reached 10, my father remarried and disowned me by sending me to my mother's relative.Then my father left me behind and started anew with his new wife. Meanwhile, I was stuck with my cold-blooded uncle, who didn't have an ounce of remorse for me.Every day he'd beat me up if I woke up late. He'd send me to school with an empty stomach.It was all unrealistic to me, so I started questioning my luck. "What did I do
The long-awaited day I'd wished to come had finally arrived.It was already nighttime, and by midnight I would finally turn 7 years old.In the past few years, I have learned a lot from my mother and father, who had S-Rank skills.My mother, who had the skill to heal It may not be combat-suited, but it's still overpowered since she can still heal an individual who's even on death's doorstep.Meanwhile, my father, Damian Echevalier, was a known swordmaster who owned one of the strongest S-rank swordsmanship skills. His ability was combat-suited, which he trained and harnessed for several years until he gained the title of a swordmaster and became unrivaled in all of Helium.Helium is the continent we're currently living on. A vast continent with several countries, towns, and villages scattered throughout the area.Among those countries was Turk, the Prestigious Dukedom we currently live in.My father was the Duke of Turk. And I was basically the son of a duke.Then that explains why our
Though I expected something about my E-Rank skill being unique and special due to it being a growth-type skill, it has already been several months, and yet there were no guides or hints on how my skill could be developed."Growth type my ass! The skill description doesn't even give me hints about my skill! How can I let this useless E-rank skill grow!?""I guess an E-Rank skill would still be an E-Rank skill after all."After my father, Damian, had shown his skill status.*Skill: Moonlight Swordsmanship, Skill Rank: S*There was no skill type written on the skill status that was displayed in front of me.Therefore, I wondered and did some research. But after several months had passed, there was nothing I could find that mentioned growth-type skills in every book that I could find in our household.Meanwhile, I practiced using my skill whenever I got some spare time, and when I used my skill, string manipulator, I could summon and release strings from the palms of my hands.It reminded
While we continued eating at the dining table, a messenger appeared and notified me and my mother, "Duchess, the Duke will be extending his time in exploiting the vast forest of Eldia." Is what he said."Oh dear, why all of a sudden?" Alexandra asked."It seems that the monster beasts are currently expanding their territory. That is why the Duke himself would be venturing into the forest along with his knights in order to ascertain that the Dukedom would not experience another incident such as before."An incident? Did something happen before?""Okay, tell the Duke to be careful and notify him that me and his son are waiting for his triumphant return." Alexandra said.I was curious about what the messenger said, but I can't ask my mother directly since I'm sure she'll be making up excuses again."The messenger then left the room and went straight towards the Duke's location, while my mother and I got up from the table after finishing our meals."Axel, Make sure to wear a cute outfit, o
His emerald hair brightened as he walked towards the border entrance of the forest. His dignified posture and calm demeanor were truly extravagant sights to behold. His silver-plate armor shone when struck by sunlight, while his golden, luxurious sword was beautifully placed on his waist inside a blemish-free scabbard.Every step he took was filled with utmost awareness and unwavering confidence as they entered the Forest of Eldia."Duke!" A messenger appeared while gasping for air."What is it, Halmuth?" Damian asked."The message you've ordered has finally been delivered. The duchess and the young master are waiting for your triumphant return."The seriousness in Damian's eyes, the composed demeanor he had, and his dignified posture instantly disappeared after hearing the messenger's delightful words."Really? Well, it can't be helped then~ all men! We shall finish this task quickly and return victorious!" Damian yelled out loud.The knights who saw their Duke's change of personality
I immediately got dressed after my mother called for me. As for the research of my skill absorption, I put it on halt since I'm about to head out with my mother and attend a ball within our dukedom's territory.My mother wore a bright emerald dress with several gems intact in it, while I wore a red long-sleeved tunic coat with a black linear-layered undervest.The white carriage was awaiting our arrival outside the gate of our household. A man wearing a gray flat hat and decently dressed in white classic attire held the horse's ropes tightly in front of the carriage.Several servants from our household formed two straight lines on both sides as they all greeted us, "Safe travels, Duchess, Young Master." When we passed through them at the gate.My mother and I elegantly went inside the carriage, and the door was gently closed by one of the servants.Then our departure gradually occurred after the carriage slowly left our household............"Mother, where's the ball being held?"
