___ the grinding swamp." ___In a location in the dry land that was not too far away from Azraf and company, the back profile of a slim young man who was adorned in a white and blue garment could be seen.The young man posed, folding his arms together and standing straight. His left foot patted the ground from time to time. He seemed to wait for something, or perhaps someone.It didn’t take long for a couple of footsteps to sound behind him. Six bulky men passed towards the youth and stopped when they got close enough to him. Their eye gaped at him respectfully. One of the huge men, who was adorned in ancient roman armour that was a rather peculiar sight to have been seen amid everyone who all wore modern clothing, stridden forward and stopped beside the youth.“Boss Alex, we found something.” The bulky man whispered to the young man.“What did you find?.” Alex said calmly.“We found the spot where the layer of tarchions.” The man replied.“Really?” Alex said with a wide smileThe man
Azraf and company trod the dangerous place carefully. Under the faint white sun, the three of them walked for almost an hour.They covered a long distance in this time; they strode on the dry grassy land covering almost one kilometre before they infiltrated into a dry barren land that exhibited a dry crack surface void of any vegetation and, amid the cracked dry land, a very strange and unexplainable sight entered their eyes.In front of them was a scene which displayed the vast dry land but also many droplets of water that were floating in the air.Arnold: “what the hell is going on here”Zero: “this is the strangest thing I have ever seen. This completely goes against science.”Azraf: “this is wired”Azraf rubbed his chin as he caught one droplet in his palm, he speculated inwardly, “though not exactly, I think I know what it is, it must be the legendary lightning pool that father used to talk about but why will it appear in curia? anyway, these are just droplets, the pool must be f
“Ahhhh!” Azraf hollered at the top of his lungs, he charge towards the incoming beast with ferocity. The two sides rapidly closed in on each other until they clashed. Azraf flicked the two weapons in his hands at the horn, which stabbed at him. A fierce sound of collision throbbed in the surrounding when his two weapons met with the beast’s horn. As they clashed, Azraf confronted a powerful force that is vastly Superior to the shark toad which he once faced, he exerted all his strength in other to repel the force but the force increased in intensity the more he pushed against it, in the end, he was sent retreating into the horizon. After it pushed him back, the horned lizard once again turned its sights towards Zero and closed in on her. “Oh my God, we are in trouble, it’s coming after us, what are we gonna do?” Arnold mumbled with a frightened expression. “What can we do? It’s too strong for us, it pushed away even Andrew..” Zero said. Meanwhile, a few meters away from them, whe
“Boom,!”Amid dust carried by heavy wind and electric sparks in the air, Azraf crazily pushed himself to overpower the horned lizard, but the beast was difficult to handle. It fought back with all its might.“So strong,” Zero mumbled.Arnold had his hands on his knees as he panted. He was suffering from overexertion after using his system ability for the first time. “I hope he wins,” he muttered underneath his breath.“He will win, I know it” zero came again.“Crack!!” “Crack!”As the two whispered to each other, two cracking sound coming from their behinds pierced their ears. The two quickly veered around to see what caused the sound, only to the sight of two bulky men who pointed guns at their backs.“Both of you don’t move or you’re a goner.” One of the bulky men stated.“Now, drop your weapons and put your hands in the air.” The other bulky man said.“Do it before I lose my patience and blow your brains out.” He spat at them when they stood in a daze and made no attempt at doing a
______ within the pool of lightning._____After being sent flying by Alex, Azraf opened his eyes and found himself inside a body of water. His eyes grew weary because he was been surrounded by moving lighting streaks which orbited his body.As being surrounded by the strange streaks made him feel unsettled, Azraf had the urge to get away from his current location, but he just bearly moved when he felt a jolt run through him. He got electrified by one out of the bolts which orbited him.After the first shock, many others followed. The swirling streaks of lightning electrified him one after the other by contacting him.Amid the streaks which continually electrify his body, Azraf went through horror, his body started convulsing, and his internal organs started malfunctioning. Most especially, his heartbeat slowed down.It was a given that if he doesn’t escape quickly, he will soon lose his life, but what can he do with his weak body which had injuries all over, could barely move and now
“Move, or we’ll blow your brains out.” One of the bulky men who pointed a gun at them thundered as he directed them towards the entrance of the dark cave less than a meter ahead.Both zero and Arnold gazed at each other before doing as they were told, their lives were on the line so they had little to no choice but to proceed even though they were heading towards a spooky entrance that will send chills to anyone just by sighting it.“Rustle,” “Rustle” “Rustle”Slowly, the two went into the entrance and Alex and his men followed them while keeping a distance of three yards from them.On entering the cave, everything turned dark except for many specks of light which glimmered in the darkness and provided them with a vague view of the cave wall’s outline.They moved further and further inside the seemingly unending tunnel, their feet were now sinking in muddy water as they strode forward along the narrow path.Arnold struggled forward with gritted teeth. Being bossed around by those frea
“Hehe” baron grinned, his finger diverted from zero to Arnold and vice versa until it went still on zero’s body, “looks like am gonna start with you.”“What are you planning to do with me?.” Zero almost shivered under his vicious gaze.Arnold on the other hand peered at baron with determination. He was ready to fight the guy to the very end. He believes that since they want him dead anyway, it’s better if he died fighting.“You want to know?, ok no prob, why do I just show you?.” In the middle of his statement, he brought out a long needle sword and stabbed it towards her left lap. The action was so sudden that even if Arnold planned to act, he cannot help zero.Zero herself was stunned by the sudden violence that she failed to react as the blade stabbed towards get leg but just then, baron cried out and his acting halted. He quickly withdrew his attack and continue to shirk in agony.His shirk snapped the two out from their shock and caused them to gaze at baron’s arm with even more s
___________ somewhere in the thick forest, close to the river mouth_____________“Oh, my baby look what those damn beasts did to you?” Olivia’s sweet voice carried a hint of sadness when she huge a metal pillar that was composed of a complicated structure and patterns, this pillar is one of the three pillars that made up the regulator of the human base. Two days ago, when those from the department of fighters set out to hunt down powerful beasts, Olivia and the members of the science and development department also set out to repair the pillars.“Oh my God, I wonder when she’s going to stop. We have been here for almost an hour without doing our work.” One member of the science and development department complained to the others in a helpless voice.“Why don’t you ask her to stop?” Another person blurted.After taking a peek at Olivia in a moment of emotion, he turned back to the others and shook his head. “I dare not. What about you guys?.”“No way?”“Am not signing my death sentence
