Their fight resumed with Kendrick being the first to attack this time. As he lands hits on the enemy’s sword, he kept on remembering the training and the dos and don’ts against Damnatio.“Kendrick, by the time you are already crossing swords with the demon, always to remember to cover up your weak spots, but don’t make it obvious that you are covering it as it would end up being on his advantage. Don’t just attack with complete calculations, attack randomly sometimes. As attacks being sent randomly is one of the most difficult things to predict, so yes, attack recklessly and randomly sometimes. Always take the risk to learn.” Amaterasu told Kendrick as they went on to train with their swords.And that is what Kendrick is doing right now. Each minute, he can send a thousand attacks, and that is an exceptional level, considering his stage. And 80% of those attacks were all random, that’s why Damnatio was hit neatly a few times. However, it wasn’t long before Damnatio adapted to Kendrick
“Don’t!” Amaterasu screamed.Right after the thunder rolled from the heavens, Kendrick stopped himself from using that power.“It is not time! That technique is one-timer only. Damnatio is still at his full potential, and using it means you drain yourself and be killed and let that demon still have power to kill you. That technique is meant to be used at the final of final moments in a battle. Think wisely.” Amaterasu pointed out as Kendrick remembered the consequences.The spiritual energy the technique would drain would be significant. Amaterasu was right, he was thinking too reckless and was about to use his ultimate technique against an opponent whom he hasn’t even severely scratched yet. Damnatio on the other hand has felt the sudden spike of pressure and energy from this kid. It was if all of his aspects were increased hundreds of times than what he is. He smiled, as this kid has a lot of tricks up his sleeves, and it was if he never runs out of room for development, and that is
Kendrick swung his left and right arm that was holding both of his swords, but both were dodged by the raging Damnatio. So, since it was ineffective, Kendrick tried to kick the demon in the chest with his left leg, but it was blocked when Damnatio raised his leg and caught the kick with his knee. Kendrick gritted his teeth, as it was if there were no openings in Damnatio’s defense, and every attack he does, all of it were just useless and he ends up being the one who gets hurt by his own attacks.“Die!” Damnatio bellowed as he is just full of anger towards Kendrick.Kendrick, while defending himself in full speed, was thinking of ways to land a clean hit on Damnatio to at least slow down his momentum as they are just going too fast. And it was depleting Kendrick’s stamina faster than he expected. Not to mention the fact that he needs to put full power in all of his defense as the attacks of Damnatio were just overwhelmingly stronger than earlier. Kendrick was also asking for advice fr
The battle, which was already intense earlier, got much more nerve-racking. The clash between the two was faster than earlier, and it was just incredible and terrifying at the same. Because the fact that a student is doing these kinds of things and having a full form of an angel is not something to see every day. Normally, swordsmen and women would have to take at least decades to perfect their forms. And not everyone can activate this kind of form as it only works for the chosen ones. The swords community is now watching the battle from afar. Since a lot of them have injuries and won’t make it in time to reach the camp, they decided to stay in this position for a while and tend to the wounded. And they are also here to make sure that Kendrick will have reinforcements once he asks for it. As they watch, one of the swordsmen then approached Jason and the commander,“Sir, Ma’am. I got something.” The man says.He then took out his camera that is connected to every public screen througho
Noticing that everything has become silent and calmed down. Jason and the others looked towards the academy, to see that there is no more battle, everything has died out, and Damnatio has finally been defeated. The broadcast was up again, and it returned to the screens right exactly when the swordsmen and women are now getting the injured body of Kendrick to get him treated. As the people sees this, they just burst into cheering. Not considering the safety of their surroundings, all of them went out of their evacuation center to celebrate this victory. The swordsmen and women who quit in the middle of the battle are now the ones securing the safety of the celebrating citizens as compensation for what they have done earlier. What they saw, the fight of Kendrick earlier, was an eye-opener for them. A kid, who has no actual experience when it comes to this situation just defeated and killed a being that could destroy a country and come out of it alive. They are ashamed for what they have
Having been named as the first ever hunter of this city is a big deal. Hunters are like Slayers. The only difference is that Slayers are the typical high-ranking positions in the sword’s army in a city. And the Hunters are the high-ranking swordsmen or women and is considered as one of the most powerful individuals in a country. Right now, there are 3 Hunters in this, and Kendrick will be the 4th. Because right now, Kendrick is both one of the most powerful and one of the strongest people in the country. Kendrick was just in shock, he never expected to be in this kind of level already, however, no one can deny the fact that he is the most powerful in this city. And it is pretty much not debatable whether he is right for the position or not. Kendrick just accepted the job and went to continue the party.***2 months have passed, Kendrick is now fully recovered and is now doing his final training before he leaves the city tomorrow. The Slayers, including him, a Hunter, were tasked by t
Kendrick’s first impression on the ruined city, was it was ruined. Greens have taken over the whole city, and some buildings are now collapsed. There are some which are still standing, but it is sure to fall sooner or later. There were no demons, which is a good thing, for now. Kendrick then reached the center of the city and in this plaza. He jumped off the horse and then let the horse, which he named Char eat the grass along with the water he brought. Kendrick then left Char for a while to scout the 1-kilometer radius. With his holy sword at a ready since there is no assurance that there won’t be any attacks, especially in this place of ruins. As he looks around, Kendrick can feel heaviness in his surroundings. The grief, the regrets, he can feel it all. It was so intense and heavy that he starts to feel that he was about to puke. This is much worse than when they went out of the walls 2 months ago. There were no ominous feeling and evil things as of now in this place, however, it
They reached the plaza, and upon seeing that the sausages were still okay, the woman literally jumped to eat the 10 pieces of sausages right off the pan. Kendrick was surprised, as the woman seems to have not eaten for days. In any case, he took out 2 more packs of sausages and bacon from his bag and then cooked it along with one pot of rice to relieve their hunger. The woman inhaled everything that was put in front of her, and after a half an hour of eating, the sun has finally set and Kendrick and the woman with Char are now moving to a different location, and that is inside one of the ruined buildings that looked safe. Since it is too dangerous to be out in the open, especially at night where demons are most active. They went inside this abandoned and once an operating school, and they went on the rooftop to ensure the complete safety of both of them as they would need to sleep and that is when their guards are completely down. Kendrick then started a campfire and then he placed hi
"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
