The next morning, everyone is just busy on preparing for their deployment later. Even Kendra is lining up to take a bath. As the cottage was so hectic, there is a person who is still in his room, and his snoring his whole morning. Because of the exhaustion and pain yesterday, Kendrick found himself not being able to stand up from his bed and he just stayed there and slept. And when everyone is now ready and have their stuff prepared and was about to leave to go to the gates, they noticed something missing. And out of disappointment, they all looked at each other and,“Kendrick!” they all said simultaneously as they all went upstairs to wake this moron up.Jonathan knocked on the door first, but when there is no one answering after two minutes of knocking, Kendra just kicked the door down to see Kendrick, sleeping in a messy room and it seems that he has no intention of going. Kendra approached him and just slapped him repeatedly on his face. Kendrick opened his eyes and just looked at
“We can land here!” yelled the platoon as he then jumped off the helicopter.He opened his parachute and just slowly drops to the ground. The three students followed as the helicopter won’t be able to lower itself further so that it won’t be caught by the demons who are constantly jumping from the ground. As Kendrick went down with his chute open, he looked below him to see the dozens of helicopters remains, and that indicates that lowering your chopper means death. They all landed on the ground and fixed their chutes as people will land here shortly after them. The first impression Kendrick have on this place was goosebumps. He felt that it was if something was crawling up his skin. The place was dark, misty, and pretty much worn out. There were no growing plants around, just remains of the swordsmen and women who died defending this border. Swords of the fallen are scattered around this area, as if it was a graveyard. And now Kendrick knows why this place is giving him the creeps. A
A mutated demon is a demon who devoured its own kind and developed a craving for it. And since demons are not supposed to eat each other, the effects of a demon eating another will result in immense changes in the body of a demon, and that triggers the mutation. There are a lot of variants in this mutation, some grow stronger than a normal demon, and some are like this in front of the 4 swordsmen, grows uncontrollably huge. But the most terrifying mutation is that when a demon becomes human-like, can talk, can understand human languages, and have immense knowledge that can match those of a human. And since it can mutate that way, those demons who have been that way tend to learn to harness their own weapons, which makes them dangerous. However, there is one more human-like mutation that is not being disclosed to the public, including to the swordsmen and women, it is too confidential and dangerous to let everyone know about its existence. In any case, the 4 started running, as Jason f
The next day, the group are now at the first division tent that guards the hole as it is being fixed. Because of his insubordination, Kendrick is not being allowed to go anywhere further the hole, unless ordered too. The other two were left off the hook as they attacked alongside Jason. However, Jason does praise Kendrick about his victory against an odd, mutated demon, since not every student can do it. Sylvester and Tray are assigned at the center division of this platoon. They replaced the fallen swordsmen and women, and they are going to be there until the deployment ends. Meanwhile, Kendrick is just sitting with the so-called give upers as they tell their story at Kendrick. Since Jason went off to report the incident and bring some sample to the forensic team, Kendrick has left with no job and orders, so he just sat there and listened to their stories. It turns out that some of them have been here for almost a decade now, and some are witness of the sudden puncture of this hole.
It has been a week and a half since the deployment happened, and things are going smoothly for the others, except for Kendrick who is still at the entrance of the hole and is just guarding this part as he is not allowed to go inside because of his punishment that he has to suffer. But as he stays here for a week and a half, he has gotten along with the other swordsmen and women around the camp. They are teaching Kendrick everything they know so they could at least boost his experience. There are also some attacks from inside demons at the camp, and Kendrick is training with them as usual. Kendrick pities them all, even though they want to go home and come back to their families if they still have one, they can’t. Because helicopters can’t get closer to the ground, which makes it hard to go away. And even if they walked their way, the whole town central, which is the only way out by foot is crawling with demons and is serving as their nesting area. That is why they chose to stay even
Meanwhile, at the platoon where Kendra and the others are assigned, it is also being stormed by demons from all over their district. This platoon is also having a hard time, but they still can’t help but worry on what the situation is in the western borders where a hole is wide open. There are 3 students there, and the others assigned there are pure useless as they have given up all hope. The 3 students are the main force there. Jason is in the eastern borders where he was just delivering some documents, when the attack happened. He now regrets on letting the 3 students get separated and putting the other 2 at the first vanguard of the hole, which means, Sylvester and Tray are literally just 200 meters away from outside the walls. He can’t go anywhere with this kind of storm of demons, that is why, he is just wishing the safety of the three as it is the only thing that he can do right now, pray for their safety, and trust their strength. Because based on what he saw last week, the thr
“You really are crazy beyond words and normal comprehension, Griffin!” Sylvester replied.As the plan of Kendrick is not only absurd and reckless, but it is also impossible since they are still students. And they won’t even last a minute out there. But Kendrick made Sylvester choose between being eaten alive or not giving up and try every idea they have to survive.“Besides. It is only a kilometer away from the eastern gates so—”“Only?! Are you out of your mind? Out there, we won’t survive, our experience is too low, we won’t make it!” Sylvester pointed out.But it was no use on arguing with Kendrick, especially when he just made up his mind. However, the plan is just plain stupidity, and only a dumb person would do such thing, and Kendrick is one of them. Because who the hell would go out the walls without the proper experience. Only slayers have been out the walls for a certain amount of time, but this time is different. Being out there means they are just literally speeding up the
The next morning, the two went up and go their way to the east. Since they chose to stay the night because of exhaustion, it is already morning. But the thing is, it is morning, yes, but the surroundings was just dark enough to be considered as night. The two walked their way, and as they walk, they just have their guards up. Kendrick on the other hand is clearly struggling to keep his guard up due to the pain of his injury. He caught a fever last night and his injuries are just in unimaginable pain because of the coldness of the surroundings. Kendrick fees like being stabbed multiple times, and the blade have pain enhancers. In any case, he forced himself and will not let Sylvester know about this.Meanwhile, the battle at the east is now over, swordsmen and women are now resting after defeating almost all the demons inside, but some escaped and went into hiding. However, even though it is already finished, the other superiors are not letting anyone to go away as an attack is very po
"Is the prisoner ready for transport?" asked a muscular and blond man wearing a soldier camouflage fatigue and then a white and gold cape that says,"Righteousness""Yes, captain, sir. The prisoner is ready for transport tonight at t in the evening." Angelique replied."Good, now, make us something to eat, we are starving as our food storage got emptied." Says this man that wears the same fatigue and has long black hair."Hurry up, you damn siblings! Be useful!" bellowed the man with ginger hair.The siblings just nodded and went to their ship. As they passed through the marines, one of them suddenly spanked Angelique's butt and the other one groped her breasts. Thankfully, they let go immediately as they were too hungry to let their horniness get the best of them. When the siblings reached their ship's kitchen, Angelique couldn't help but cry. She has suffered enough, and even though they have already transferred units, these things still happen. Samuel doesn't know what to do either
"I will still not forget the scar your fucking father left me!" yelled the captain as he swung his flaming sword at Thomas who blocked it with his own new sword."Well, guess what? I also hate my father! And if you could excuse us, we are going on a journey, so get out of the way!" Thomas replied with a yell.Newton just grinned as he puts extra weight on his sword as Thomas is getting pushed back. William right now is also fighting some navy sailors that is preventing him from preparing their voyage by attaching the helm to its designated place. And he must admit that holding off a lot of sailors is being quite annoying and difficult itself. As the two are now struggling, a gang of people suddenly helped them. They all climbed up the ship and beat the hell out of the sailors on it. And when Thomas looked around, it was Jeff on the ship with his men in his shipwright job,"Hurry up!" Jeff ordered Thomas.And it seems as it was if he is about to join the crew. Jeff and the others are n
After the bloody second elimination, it is finally time for the final round. Thomas is now face to face against this scrawny man with black hair. He may not look like it, but this man is strong as hell. He came from the most difficult bracket where people with over 5 million bounties on their heads, but he won without even breaking a sweat and without even getting hurt at all. That's how strong he is."And now, for the final match! Thomas Griffin versus Jeff Tew!" the crowd went wild.But then, the mayor made a revelation. It turns out that Jeff is the one who built the galleon ship with his men as he is a talented shipwright, hence he participated in this battle in order to reclaim his own ship as he will not just give it away to some pirates without fighting for it. The mayor then signaled the start of the battle, and for a change, Thomas went on to charge first. However, when he reached the middle part of the ring and was just preparing for a punch, he was met there by Jeff, and si
"Sorry, son. But Dad has got to go. Be strong and brave, I love you." Says this man as he then boarded a boat and left this little child alone.For some reason, Thomas can still remember what happened that day clearly. And it pisses him off, especially when his father dared to say that he loves him after what he's done. His father is a menace, a no-good piece of shit. As he was continuously cursing his father, Thomas hit his head on a plank and that woke him up. Thomas shook his head as he looked around him. He is now in a small prison cell and is tied up in a rope. The place was all wobbly and felt like riding waves. And that was enough for Thomas to determine that he has been kidnapped by these pirates and he was knocked out when he tried to resist. Normal people would lose hope and just accept their fate, but not Thomas. He is still confident that he would get out of the grasps of these nasty pirates and will go home. But first, he needs to get out of here and get onto shore. While
A world of piracy is also where a world of lies resides. Fathers leaving their children just to pursue some stupid dream of being a pirate, what the hell is that for? Thomas, an 18-year-old boy, son of a great pirate who is Edward "The Terror" Jack. He is now sitting on top of the roof of the fish shop he works in. He has been working as this shop's fisherman for 8 years now since he was 10. He lived alone for the past 17 years of his life. Since his father chose piracy over him, and he never really got to meet his mother, Thomas was basically orphaned at the age of 1 with no one to take care of him. The townsfolk of this small port town took pity of him, and they helped them as he was a kid. As he grows up, he started to know what he needs to do, and then, at the age of 10, he went to work as a fisherman. Because for some reason, being out in the sea is one of the most relaxing moments for him. When he is out there at the great blue, he always asks himself. What is so great about pir
It was still not easy to believe that Ian is rejecting the ideas of Vincent of dragons, when his late brother was also having the same ideas as Vincent. However, what looks like to David is that Ian is having difficulties in accepting that his brother’s theories and guesses were right since that kind of topic has risen once again. Because Ian might be thinking that the idea of some dragons being awakened by a certain cult was buried along with his brother down his grave. But it isn’t. Instead, it resurfaced and is now having some light on it. As if they think about it carefully, it does make sense. Especially when they put into mind that cults are doing rituals, and rituals needs sacrifices. And this is when David realized that Vincent and Herbert’s theories are correct. But how did they even come up with that conclusion when dozens of skilled heroes and investigators have held the case of the cult for years, and yet did no get a single thing to make the case go forward, that’s why th
Seeing this mess was just gruesome. The students in this stall didn’t experience a painless death. Considering the fact that they have these bruises and wounds on their bodies, they were first tortured and then killed. But by who? Vincent felt sad to what happened to them,“My investigation department now has all their hands on deck and taking immediate action. Don’t do anything stupid, Vincent!” Victor said to his brother who was staring at the corpses.And then, Vincent’s eyes just narrowed. Vincent is seeing something wrong, and he can absolutely sense it. So, he went over the tape and went inside the stall,“Vincent!” yelled Victor.Vincent looked back and then he looked at the forensic experts,“Can I please have some gloves, so that I won’t be able to taint the scent with my DNA.” Vincent asked.And the experts just gave him gloves. Victor couldn’t stop Vincent anymore, and he just advised Vincent to just don’t take off his gloves. Vincent then went full inside the stall and cro
Vincent brought his injured classmate to the school clinic. Once he lay her on the bed, he immediately went outside to leave the girl alone with the school nurse. He then started to walk back to his next class hoping that Champ has brought his bag with him so he wouldn’t have to climb ten floors just to get his bag in an occupied room. The bell rang and Vincent is still at the second floor of the Queen’s building and his class is supposed to be at the Bravery building’s fifth floor. Despite hearing the bell ring, Vincent just relaxed and kept on walking until he took a right and suddenly a panting girl bumped into him. The girl fell on the ground, and she struggled to stand up, maybe because of exhaustion or maybe there’s another group of bullies chasing her. Vincent balled his fists, getting ready to attack. He casually faced the hallway that the girl came from and no one was there, he looked at the girl again and noticed that she is his classmate, he doesn’t know the name but Vincen
Meanwhile, in the school clinic. Vincent is now laid on the bed and was resting. Next to him is the Philips twins, and the girl he saved is still unconscious. The nurse asked Champ to leave since he still has a class to attend to, Champ agreed and left the room. The nurse then grabbed a clean wet cloth to clean Vincent’s wound. And when she was about to dab it on him, she realized that there are no wounds. It’s just blood. She put her hand on his chest and closed her eyes.“Weird… He received a hundred and fifty blows from Norman, and yet no broken bones nor no wounds, just blood. “ says the nurse.Jamie who is sitting besides her sister stood up and looked at Vincent.The nurse and Jamie exchanged confused looks. The nurse continued on cleaning the blood. She put the bloody cloth on the sink and sat besides Vincent to check if there really was no injuries.“Exhaustion. Norman knocked him out cold so it is normal he is asleep. But, Norman also told me that this kid is full of wounds f
