As both Axel and Erza ran with bright smiles on their faces, they unwillingly noticed that they were already outside of the forest's shade.In an open area, they stood, circling around with their heads held high, under the bright sun."We're finally out." Axel paused after seeing a man standing beyond them.Patiently standing firm in a dignified posture with his hands behind his back. His face was unclear; his silhouette was all they could see. While he exuded an aura of power and authority similar to that of a king."Who's that?" Axel asked.Erza shook her head softly and responded, "I don't know. He somehow looks like a beast man.""State your names!" The man yelled with a deepened voice, showing a hint of order."What did he say?" Axel asked, feeling dumbfounded by the man's overwhelming voice."He asked for our names," Erza whispered. "My name is Ezra, and this child is Axel." she stated in a loud tone.The man started walking towards them, only to be surprised after seeing Axel's
He ran without suppression, breathing heavily while sweat dripped from his eyebrows, hinting at signs of exhaustion and fatigue. Running for several days straight without sleeping, and after a short period of rest, he must continue running again."Fuck, I feel tired." Douglas mumbled as his pace became slower due to exhaustion and being sleep deprived.Douglas knew that the beast people wouldn't bother unless they successfully reached their territory. Since Draconians won't carelessly act irrationally against the Beast people."So by any means, we must escape this forest in order to survive," Douglas murmured to himself, showing a distressful expression."Douglas! Wait up!"Douglas immediately stopped and turned around to check. There he saw Mayu, Almasin, Erza, and Axel running towards him.Huh? Why are they following me?" Douglas wondered, since he knew that Almasin wouldn't let her daughter go back to a dangerous place..........A few minutes earlier, Douglas left in a hurry."Pa
Near the Center Plains, Azard's corpse is located.Demise, Barto, Gileyn, and Dalius stood in front of Azard's corpse. His body was slowly being connected to the ground. Vines were sticking through his skin while he was slowly being dragged into the soil.Demise trembled, showing hints of remorse in his wavering eyes. Azard was once known to be the hardest to kill due to having a unique deviant skill through which he could manifest his skill's elemental properties.But how come you still died like this...?" Demise pondered miserably, kneeling in front of Azard's corpse."Commander, we'll have to take a day to rest and replenish our mana. We've been flying for several hours continuously," Gileyn said."Barto, Dalius! Immediately bury Azard's corpse!" Demise said loudly while staring into the sky.Barto and Dalius nodded. They immediately followed Demise's orders and buried Azard's corpse in the same location where he was found."Whoever killed him, we will find them and kill them. Brea
After several hours passed, Axel and the others finally reached the center plains of the forest. The wind breezed as it welcomed their arrival. There was no one to be seen. Neither trees nor piles of rocks were seen on the vast central plains.Only tall grasses and mushed bushes were to be found in the vicinity of the entire center plains.Monster people immediately started building removable tents, while others lied on the ground, gasping heavily due to exhaustion.While those who still had the energy immediately mobilized themselves to secure the area.Axel and Erza were removing the silver platform they had used when they were approached by Elder Garudo."Hello, Thank you for helping us." Elder Garudo said politely, showing hints of gratitude in his voice."You are welcome, Elder... "Garudo, You can call me Garudo.""Oh, okay, Elder Garudo. This boy here cannot understand Laplace language, So if you want to tell him something, please pass it unto me." Erza said, Holding Axel's shou
The Monster people stood in awe after witnessing the miraculous healing that Axel had shown.Healing mostly occurs over a longer period of time, depending on the wound's size. Especially a large and deep cut that Kibaki had would gradually take longer to heal, even with S-Rank healing skills."Um..."Why is everyone staring at me? I feel so embarrassed somehow." Axel pondered, Slightly showing an embarrassed expression.I never thought that a human child could possess such healing abilities. Even the Dog people who mostly acquired S-Rank Healing skills can't heal a wound as severe as Kibaki's in an instant." Almasin thought, staring intently at Axel."Please stop staring at him, everyone. He's a bit shy." Erza uttered.The monster people then started coughing and went their way, while Kibaki was still astonished after feeling regenerated from the pain he had been enduring."Um. Thank you." He mumbled.Erza then held Axel's shoulder and said, "He said thank you."Axel nodded and replie
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
