The next moment after the Elite Commander detected this change, the air rippled and he disappeared. King followed shortly behind; an exciting feeling of anticipation rising in his heart.
When they arrived at the slope’s peak, Clark was still standing rigidly, his eyes still looking in the direction of the cave.
The only problem was that no emotion was detected in the eyes, they seemed just like those of a dead man.
The look on his face was extremely calm like he just entered a wonderland, with a soft goose-bumps-inducing smile lining his face.
Seeing all this, the Elite Commander confirmed what he said. He now had a solemn expression on his face, he rapidly thought about all the various scenarios that Arnold prophesied.
“He really made the legendary 100 thresholds for all his attributes! Back then, I thought Arnold was lying, but now I don’t know what to say. I’m speechless”.
“I think he’s the only soldier that has ever achieved such a
Hey guys, sorry for missing yesterday's second chapter, the week has been a little hecty for me. I'll compensate for it today though, I hope you can persevere with me.
Clark was once again shocked speechless. He was left standing rigidly like a tree, gawking at this scene in disbelief as the thought that he was going mad started rearing its ugly head. If it was not madness, then how on earth did his ancestral home that is still peacefully sitting in the Spartan republic materialize here? “Am I high? Did I drink too much? How the hell am I even standing when I was just eaten by a dinosaur?” He inclined his head to look at the air suspiciously. “Master, is this another prank? Is this an illusion? Let me tell you, it’s not affecting me at all”. Despite his many attempts to blame what was happening to his master, he already saw a lot of evidence that said otherwise. This only made him feel more shocked, uneasy, and afraid. “Or is this a dream?” His eyes gleamed in understanding. “I once read in a novel that if you’re in a dream that you don’t like, to get out you just have to hit your head against someth
“For this implementation stage, you have only 7 months to complete it. Using the term only seems like an exaggeration, but the implementation stage is the hardest stage of all”. “For this stage, efficiency is key. You have to scour through the knowledge and experience that you already have about your technique, you need to implement it in a battle”. “And of course, there are opponents for you. The right opponents”. “You already had an encounter with one, the dinosaurs. All of them roughly have a power base of 4th rank high-grade soldiers, their children have peak 3rd rank strength but they are always tightly protected by the parents”. “Do not question the set-up or the weird personality of these predators, it was all created to facilitate your sublimation”. Hearing all these extreme demands, Clark blew up despite all the trauma that he already experienced at the hands of this old man. “You don’t expect me to kill such exobeasts right?”
“I really did this?” Clark was shocked as he looked at a replay of the last moments of his battle with the huge dinosaur exobeast. “Yes, you did”. The old man answered with a rare polite smile on his face. At the last moments of the battle, not only was he able to perform his new self-created technique which left him feeling giddy, he actually broke through in the process too. He was now officially a 3rd rank high-grade soldier, a position that seemed distant to him a few months ago. He still felt that everything that was happening was a dream. Of all these achievements, what surprised him the most was his ability to rip the dinosaur to pieces with that one punch. When he just watched it, he was like- “What the heck? Is this the legendary super Saiyan?” Due to the desperation driven in him by the 2 new dinosaurs that were rushing to the battle, he was finally able to break his limits. As soon as he broke through, he
When it finally came to the time to go, Clark was shocked to discover that he already had a lot of attachment to his eccentric Master. He was shockedl. Was he secretly a masochist? Since he met his Master, it was pain upon pain and trouble upon trouble, though he also grew a lot in strength. “Thank you, Master. For everything during my stay here, I’m grateful. Though you were harsh on me, I knew that it was for my own good. For that, thank you…” Thwack! The old man viciously smacked Clark on the back of his head. “Ok, I’m sorry sir”. Clark pouted. “But Master, I just graduated from your tutelage. Are you not granting me any special thing, like a special weapon or anything of the sort? You know, to act as a memory”. Thwack! “Ouch, that hurts”. “Master, your hand is too thick”. After complaining fiercely for some minutes, Clark finally relented and stopped. “What about the bean quadrant enhancer, what do you think
“Clark!” Josh was shocked on seeing the person that stood before him. He could not control himself, he rushed to hug him immediately. “You came back?”“Yes, I came back Captain”. Clark laughed heartily and returned the hug.Josh didn’t know what he should feel right now, all he knew was that he was surprisingly all over the moon on seeing Clark hale and hearty after being separated for so long. He felt relieved.When his cousin reported to him that 2 men were looking for him, he was left slightly confused. Who was so foolish that he would come looking for him after his boss blacklisted him?Well, Clark and King were the people. Both of them obviously didn’t give a damn about his boss, he somehow felt a cushy feeling in his heart describing these 2 guys like this.“Hey! Why only him, am I not a person too?” King finally butted in when the hug was becoming too long and passionate, making the
Clark felt his heart palpitating rapidly but he did a good job in concealing it as the entourage of vehicles drove into the Presidential villa. To his shock, this was actually his first time visiting this place.He was surprised that throughout all these years as a soldier, he had not visited the Spartan Presidential villa before, not even once.The Presidential villa was just like the headquarters of the Spartan army, the only difference was that the former had a more militaristic vibe while the villa was more luxurious.>The Federal Republic of Sparta>Even before the entourage of cars got close enough, Clark was already seeing this from afar. It was stylishly drawn boldly in an extremely tall stale, proudly displaying the majesty of the Spartan republic.Clark savored the sight ravenously like a hungry wolf, taking his time to admire it before the cars drove close enough to obstruct his view.He finally looked down to see the villa&
As soon as the military report was given and the President left, Rashford finally ended the short convergence conference. After General Armstrong left, he also stood up to go after making sure that Clark was teleported back by the building’s A. I to be led away by his escort. He didn’t leave the President’s building though, after leaving the conference room he teleported to another part of the building before taking a spiraling staircase upwards. It took him 2 minutes to get to the end of the staircase. When he reached the end, he arrived before an open sky. This was the roof of the helmet-shaped building. On the roof, there were a swimming pool, a small garden, a small zoo that was filled with creatures and exobeasts of various species, and a small bar at the side that was dominated by drinks. President Leonidas was currently seated inside the bar, leisurely sipping from a bottle of enhanced treated water. Seeing Commander Rashford, h
Clark already knew of his best friend’s mansion before he went for his latest mission in the Everest, but he was not going there. Today was a Thursday, he was pretty sure that Leo was in his military division base. Thinking of the fact that Leo was already an old veteran in the Python military division, he chuckled amusedly to himself. As soon as he drove past the enormous gate that led inside the Presidential Villa, he leaned back on his chair, added pressure to the car’s gas pedal before speeding off straight to the highway. With a calm face, he accepted the fresh atmosphere of the highway. … A few hours later when it was already getting late, he finally arrived at the familiar roads of Delhi city. His speed slowed considerably as he expertly drove down from the highway and into the boisterous road. The wide road was filled with vehicles going back and forth, spreading optimism in the air. As the road leading to the city’s only milit
6 months ago, the sky turned red which according to world leaders signified the start of the war that would decide the fate of humanity.2 months prior, the news was finally publicized, spreading worldwide panic but with all the most powerful world leaders working together, the panic was easily curbed and order was restored.According to the government, humanity was not hopeless, they had heroes in the form of their soldiers and elite soldiers.Not only that, humanity had a superhero, the great Elite Commander Clark Pendragon. After the special training started, a fuse seemed to have been switched on as the Spartan soldier experienced a period of rapid growth.With veteran Elite Commanders around to guide him and with every resource he needed available, he encountered no bottlenecks, he improved at a superhuman speed never recorded since the human race was born.In just 4 months, he broke through 2 times, going all the way to the Elite-grade rank.
A month later, in the Gen. Clark Pendragon Mansion.At the big balcony attached to the mansion, Clark stood, looking out into the distance as a lot of things went through his mind. The past one month has been the best in his life, and he was grateful for it.Despite it being the best in his life, as a 4th rank high-grade soldier now, his intuition told him that something was happening.As a high-grade soldier and mercenary, things happened everyday around him but he knew that this was not the normal happenings, his intuition told him that this was far higher than anything that he has encountered before.And after making connections from the recent happenings, from his famous marriage ceremony, to the big 5 jointly broadcasting it, a lot of other things and now the Spartan President personally calling for him, he confirmed his guess.Something big was happening, it was just that no one deemed it right to inform him about it yet. As a man
Vatican City Central Church, General Clark Street. This was the church where the big things were happening for today. Not only people from all over the Spartan republic, even esteemed guests from foreign high-grade countries came to grace this occasion. Today was the day of Vatican City hero’s marriage ceremony. After 22 years as a single, General Clark Pendragon was finally ready to tie the nut with his fiancée. The name of the street where the ceremony was commencing was given and commissioned a few days after Clark became a General. Some of the most esteemed guests attending the marriage ceremony were the legendary President of the Spartan republic, Leonidas, and the armor tycoon, the billionaire Mr. Calibri of the Dakran republic. These 2 people were such powerful and well-known personalities in their own rights that their attendance alone shot the attention being given to the marriage ceremony to the highest point. Not only that,
“Leonidas, you wish to attend?”Hearing that, the Spartan President sighed, exasperated. “If you were not my mentor, I would have probably fired you already. Cough…, sorry for that but I’m really going, what’s the big deal?”“You’re really asking me that right now? Of course, there’s a big deal. Apart from military burials, do you know the last time you have for social gatherings?”“I dunno, probably a decade or 2”.“No…, 4 decades! 4 whole decades! You get that?” The old man emphasized by waving his hands vigorously, showing 4 fingers at the powerful soldier.“Suddenly going to a social event after such a long time staying at home, what do you think will be people’s reaction. They may feel that something is happening, they may even panic”.“And just because he’s a 4th rank high-grade soldier does not change anythin
A day after the reunion with her family, Sonia took permission with her parents before going on the first official date with her boyfriend. It was a date, but they just wanted to spend more time together and close to each other. The few years apart was torment to them, now that they had the opportunity, they wanted to make up for it by all means. At first, staying together left them feeling awkward but they soon got over it and started reliving the feelings of a few years ago. For the destination for their first date, none of them planned for it as they were both individuals who have never interacted with the opposite sex in such fashions before now. As the only daughter of a famous billionaire, other billionaire sons already tried courting her in the past but she simply didn’t find them appealing enough, so she always ignored and avoided them. After just a day of staying with Clark, her brother, and her parents in her childhood home, she now
Among the 3 Pirate Gods in the Sahara, though none of them never publicly claimed the spot as the strongest, the Black Pirate God was the one most recognized by pirates as the strongest. After him was the powerful Red Goddess Pirate, then the Lilac Pirate God. Compared to the first 2, the Lilac Pirate God was on the more glaringly weaker side but he still had the strength to back his title. At this moment, in the Black God Pirate City, a surprising piece of news was being circulated. Pirate Queen Anamel was dead, and Pirate Queen Cobra was secretly a student of the Red Goddess. Not only that, the most shocking piece of news that took the city by storm was that of Pirate Queen Cobra’s intention to leave the Sahara and settle in normal human settlements outside. … “Is this news verified?” A deep voice asked with suppressed anger in an underground room with far better living conditions than most of the others out there in the desert. “Yes
Though they both wanted to just remain in each other’s embrace forever, Clark and Sonia knew that they were still in a pirate city and what it meant. With reluctance, they quickly left the city with Arthur.Even if they tried to cover it up, it was impossible so they didn’t bother. In minutes, the news of Pirate Queen Anamel’s death spread through the pirate city and beyond.For long, Clark has always been worried about his reaction when he finally saw Sonia again but he was surprised when he did. It was like they never separated; it was like they’ve lived through all these years together.15 minutes later, they got sufficiently far away into the desert from the pirate city so they finally had the time to speak things out.Sonia brought out the stolen pistol first, which Clark handed over to Arthur. After this, she finally started detailing her encounters after Clark asked.According to her, after the fierce battle on her fa
While Arthur asked the pirate, Clark already went to work as he closed his eyes to focus. As experienced soldiers, they already put a lot of contingencies in place during their tour around the pirate city.Even if they wanted to catch some fun, it was too unrealistic for them to just keep touring without setting anything in place.With his implant, Clark immediately accessed the hidden cameras that they placed around the city, most especially this bar. It didn’t take him long; he saw a hooded female going out through the bar’s back door.“Found our target”.While muttering to Arthur, Clark already turned to storm out of the bar. Arthur simply knocked the 2 pirates out before storming out also.In seconds, they were out of the bar’s main structure.…A few meters away from the bar, a hooded lady walked through the streets at a leisure pace as she kept a close but alert eye on her surroundings.<
The next day, Clark and Arthur woke up with the intention to remain patient while waiting for their informant to contact them. They didn’t even go into the pirate city, it was too disgusting for them to stay in it. The more Clark felt this way, the more he feared what his girlfriend may have become now. If just a day staying in it could make him this irritated, he just couldn’t imagine what staying here for 4 years could have done. Thinking of this, he felt guilty again. “Why didn’t I come earlier?” Souring his mood with such thoughts, the day moved extremely slowly to him. Perhaps, having noticed his current mood, Arthur didn’t disturb him and opted to go out hunting alone. When he came back, he had a desert antelope with him. Seeing the catch, Clark was left speechless. “Can we finish that?” Arthur wasn’t fazed by his question. “If we can’t finish it today, we’ll just finish it tomorrow or the next. Don’t worry, I have preservation gadgets with me, and besides, your girlfriend
