But in an astonishing twist of fate, right there on the ground, the remnants and dismembered limbs of these soldiers staged a miraculous reunion, and like phoenixes rising from the ashes, the soldiers were resurrected.Evelyn's cry pierced the air like a clarion call,"Edward, would you look at that! They've sprung back to life!"Edward, his astonishment written all over his face, couldn't hold back his incredulous query,"What in the world is happening? Are these soldiers truly invincible?"Shoulder to shoulder, Edward and Evelyn catapulted into a second round of combat against the resurrected soldiers. This time, the soldiers charged at Evelyn head-on."Edward, lock your arms with mine!" Evelyn bellowed.Edward swiftly complied, enabling Evelyn to take flight and dispatch two of the oncoming soldiers with a flurry of nimble kicks.With confidence, Edward roared, "Now it's my turn!"In quick succession, Edward executed a series of aerial kicks, toppling the remaining soldiers. These
“That’s enough,” fumed the director Peter with great indignation, immediately realizing that the young boy his man mentioned must be the guy he had met at the FS Hotel.‘It’s him again,’ thought Peter furiously, ‘he ruined my work at the FS Hotel. Now that he comes here in the city of Dominus, I’ll have to kill him. I guess it must be he that did something to transfer the money away from my account. Damn it. “Thinking of that, Peter felt the volcano within him would erupt at any moment.“Can I go now, boss?” the man who knelt down before him begged.Hearing that, Peter quickly gave him a hard kick at the belly and shouted, “Beat it and go find the clues about where the young, handsome man you mentioned is. If you can’t bring him here, never come back to me, don’t you understand?”“Y-yes, boss,” muttered the man, his pan in the belly twisting his face, ‘I promise I’ll take him in three days.”“Three days?” the director Peter gave him a glare with two big widened eyes.“No, boss,” the
After Anthony had been laid out cold by her, Evelyn stepped aside to observe the battle unfolding before her eyes. At this moment, Edward and Peter were locked in a ferocious showdown.Peter charged toward Edward, launching a lightning-fast lunge straight at Edward's head. In an instant, Edward countered with a hand spread, thwarting Peter's deadly thrust instantly.It was hard to tell who would emerge as victorious in the end.Evelyn saw that the bastard, Peter, was quick to react, unleashing a powerful clap aimed at Edward's face, hoping to land a stinging blow. But Edward was no pushover; he instantly executed a technique known as the "twin guard hands," meeting Peter's clapping assault head-on.“Pa…”A resounding "smack" echoed through the air as Peter's hand went numb.Then, he sucked in a deep breath and followed up with a double plowing hand strike, fists clenched, aimed low and rising toward Edward's chin.Edward gracefully leaned back, tilting his head to evade the attack, al
"You contemptible scoundrel!" Edward exclaimed in fury."Let me enlighten you, my friend, that villainy is the currency of the vile. As a member of the Gluttony Gang, I'll pull out all the stops to achieve my goals. I only lament my sneak attack earlier did not succeed," Peter sneered with an icy grin.In a twist of fate, Edward found that Peter was wielding a rugged, serrated Tactical Field Knife, also known as TFK, its blade broad and unyielding. He lunged at Edward with a swift overhead strike. Edward, knowing better than to engage in a direct confrontation, instinctively recoiled, narrowly evading Peter's aggressive assault.However, Peter was relentless. He swiftly followed up with a high kick, the dagger concealed in his boot hissing through the air.With the empowerment of weapons, Peter became an unrelenting force, forcing Edward to retreat step by step.Evelyn, pacing frantically on the sidelines, was at a loss for how to aid Edward.Edward continued his tactical retreat unti
In the heat of battle, Edward's resolve remained unyielding, refusing to reveal any chinks in his armor. With lightning speed, he harnessed the inner fire of his vital energy, summoning the Phoenix Strike from the depths of his being.In an awe-inspiring display, he unleashed a searing ball of flame from his very palm, an audacious gambit to thwart the relentless assault of the adversary's ice sword.The clash of elements painted the battlefield, where fire and ice waged an exquisite dance, transforming the hall into an inferno of blazing passion and glacial resolve.Benson, the loyal right-hand man, couldn't contain his admiration."Big Brother, I've been saying it all along, this kid's got more tricks up his sleeve than a magician at a circus. Look at him conjuring fire out of thin air."The so-called big brother, a figure shrouded in mystique and authority, dismissed the accolades with a curt rebuke."Enough, Benson. How many times have I told you to call me Bellum?""Sorry, Big Br
"End him, Peter," Bellum hissed through gritted teeth, "he's the one who took you down a short while ago. Tear him into pieces!”Summoned back from the abyss, Peter now spoke with an eerie chilly tone, "Go to hell with me, Edward." His trembling timbre had the power to make one's blood run cold.Suddenly, Evelyn felt a shiver crawl up her spine, her voice thick with apprehension as she warned Edward, "Keep your wits about you, Edward; my instincts are in a knot.""Have no fear," Edward reassured her, his eyes locking onto hers, "I won't go down without a fight. This is just the opening scene of a blockbuster thriller."With those words, Edward burst into the same old song, belting out the familiar tune of "Twinkle, twinkle, little star."Once more, Edward's celestial battalion materialized, conjuring a starry canopy above the hall, where stars gleamed and the angelic voices of children echoed through the air."Our master has bestowed upon us a fresh mission. Let's uncover the identity
Once again, he got another man of his and threw him to block the goldening lighting once again mercilessly. Before long, his man was electrocuted to death once again.Horrified, his other men did not want to die a grisly death and instinctively, they quickly retreated to the place where his so-called big brother could not reach them.Edward's golden lightning continued its relentless pursuit of Bellum, packing a powerful punch. Despite his inability to enlist any of his underlings to intercept the advancing golden lightning, he had no choice but to confront the impending danger head-on."Damn it!" he cursed once more, frustration etched across his face.He desperately sought to evade the golden lightning's onslaught, but time seemed to be slipping away, and it appeared he was on the brink of being struck. In this tense moment, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a tiny object, shouting,"Bloom!"With astonishing speed, the key-like object in his hand expanded dramatically, formi
Amidst the chaos of the moment, the Electricity-Devouring Clam transformed by Benson let out a noxious stench from its gaping maw, careening straight toward Edward and Evelyn."Bravo!" bellowed Bellum with unbridled enthusiasm. "Keep it up! Their golden round protective shield around them is teetering on the brink of oblivion."Bellum's words hit the mark, as Edward and Evelyn saw their defensive bulwark revealing subtle cracks."What's the game plan, Edward? Got any aces up your sleeve?" Evelyn asked with bated breath."It seems I might have to unveil my Crane Divine Sword," Edward replied with casual assurance. "Although I'm not entirely certain. This will be my first time to go against this blasted Electricity-Devouring Clam breathing down our necks with my new weapon."Without a moment's hesitation, Edward retrieved the Crane Divine Blade from his item inventory in his system.In a heartbeat, a three-foot-long blade materialized in Edward's grasp, deceptively akin to an ordinary s
