After witnessing the death of the elder, Kendrick did the rightful thing. He went out of the hut, and in his arms was the elder, he carried the elder at the middle of the village and placed him at the exact center of the village the elder has once led.“You guys, I know it is going to be unpleasant. But I need you to carry everyone and bring them here. We are going to give them a proper burial, so they can rest in peace.” Kendrick says.And without any hesitation, the three of them started carrying the deceased citizens of the village. They puked and got dizzy along the way, but this is the least that they can do to at least honor the deaths and give them a proper resting place. After doing that for a half an hour, Kendrick stood in front of the feet of the deceased and let Amaterasu do the honors. Amaterasu flew away from the scabbard and levitated above the dead people. She then released a bright light, and she said these words,“Thy sacrifice shall be known in paradise. I, a guardi
The confusion grew as the three tried different ways to know what is up with this map,“Didn’t the elder tell you something on how to read the map that is totally empty?” Kendrick asked.“N-No. The elder just told us that someone needs to inherit the map once he dies, or no one claims it to be theirs. Nothing more, nothing else.” Johnny replied.As they were scouring the chest itself, Erika was the one who noticed the paper attached to the literal back of the map itself. Kendrick slapped Johnny’s head slightly, as the paper was too obvious, and the fact that he did see it means that he panicked too much. Erika then slapped Kendrick too as he also was oblivious about the paper, until she pointed it out. Johnny then gently removed the paper that was folded. He unfolded the paper and on it was a short letter,“Read it out loud. Maybe it is from the elder.” Kendrick says.Johnny nodded. He looked at the letter, and he just literally stared at it as he constantly narrows his eyes like he w
The three woke up the next morning at exactly 10 in the morning. They have been up until 4 in the morning as they were too entertained by their own stories. Kendrick went out to hunt some game first, while Erika and Johnny were left in the camp and was tidying things up. They would still spend a few days here since Char is literally on the ground and was just lying down and resting, which means that until Char stands up again, they would have to stay in this camp longer. And besides, they are still figuring it out on where they would go after this. The letter did not say any specific location or anything, it just told them that to explore and find that somebody who will meet the requirement of the enchantment. And that is going to be next to impossible, as this world is just messed up, and it would be very difficult to find that person. But they all must try. Kendrick, who is now hunting some game to eat the whole day, is now thinking his next steps after this accidental adventure. He
After hours of travel, Eleanor and the others have finally reached the supposed town. It was another surprise for the person who lives within the walls. This town also has walls, but smaller compared to the ones at the city. The gates opened and they all entered. People with weapons suddenly appeared in front of them as they are now reassuring if there is no threat that will get in. The gates were lowered once everyone was inside, and then all of them went down their horses and went to town,“This town is as big as a city. But since we are living like in the medieval times, we call it a town. The town’s name is Braver, named after the bravest warrior that founded this town who now has a population of approximately at least 400 thousand people.” Anna explained as she then continued to tell Eleanor what she is going to ask like she is reading her mind or something.It turns out that this town has classes in society. And they also have a military force just like the sword community insid
After the meeting, Eleanor was just getting a free tour from Anna while her other men rests for the remainder of the day. Anna introduced Elle to everyone, but she did not have an answer to the questions who ask about Elle’s citizenship, but luckily, there were no doubts, and everyone just welcomed Elle without any doubts nor hesitation. Elle tried a variety of foods which she has never saw or tasted inside the walls. Everything was just incredible, and it was if this town is the least fortified compared to the city, they are confident about everything. And Elle was just glad and so enjoyed that she is here, that she literally forgot all about her mission to scout the southeast and give a report to the city in a month. And when night struck, Anna and Elle went into a bar where they had a drink or two to ease their bodies and feel relaxed even for a few hours. Because a week would pass quickly, and everything would be stressful again. The two finished drinking at exactly 1 in the morni
Living as a scavenger, it wasn’t an easy life. Scavengers are greedy people, they were once belonged in a colony or town, but they have defected since their desires cannot be supplemented by the leadership and the colony itself. So, instead of being pathetic, scavengers became what they are. They scavenge ruined cities, buildings and almost everything they came across to. At one point, the scavengers became bigger and bigger, that the chief have decided to decrease the mouths to feed to survive and have their desires be grabbed by them again. That is why Janella was left in a demons’ nest. It was a 12 midnight the day before yesterday, she was sleeping in a tent with her family, and then, her parents suddenly woke her up as a meeting is being held at the center to discuss something. A man with gray hair was standing on a platform and began announcing it to the people,“Our group has now 450 members, our supplies are getting lesser, and a lot are now starving. So, I will handpick the p
The next morning, Elle was wakened up by the mother of Anna to have breakfast. Elle stood up and fixed herself and rinsed her face before eating. She has now hangover anymore, because after seeing Anna last night bawling her eyes like that, all the drunkenness has disappeared, and now, she is completely sober and is just hungry. She sat on the chair around the table to eat their breakfast. Jackson was in his room, refusing to go out, so, the father just brought him some eggs and bacon. Anna on the other hand has gone out to train at the training central as she doesn’t want to waste time since she also wants to become the lead scout of this town. After eating breakfast, Elle took a quick shower and she changed into her clothes,“Where is the training central? I want to workout a little also.” Elle asked.“Oh, once you leave the house go left and then walk straight, you will find yourself in a crossroad and then you will take a right and just go straight, you will find it there.” Smiled
As they continue to venture into the mist, the feeling of creepiness grew. Kendrick took back the reins as it is too dangerous to let Johnny be out there. Not that he distrusts him, it is just that Kendrick has a bad feeling about this, and he needs to be prepared for what’s to come. He has Amaterasu out a little so that he will not have any problems on pulling her out once a battle begins. The surroundings were just like the woods they were in when they met the warlord. And Kendrick’s instinct is telling him to turn back, which they can’t do as they need to go through this place to reach their destination.Meanwhile, after hours of nonstop travel, Michaela and Sylvester has now reached the walls. Horns has been blown as the gates are being slowly raised as they enter under it. As they enter, they were welcomed with lines of swordsmen and women all lined up, raising their swords and the two rode under it. Some are saluting as it was a job well done for the new Slayers of the city. The
"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
