Nex snapped her fingers to remove the green blood from her chains. She stared at the corpses of the Arachnosapiens that rushed towards her. The Ice knights she conjured were mangled into peices, yet she alone stood tall unblemished from all the infighting that just occurred. She looked around and saw nothing but the craggy interior of the cavern illuminated by blue minerals that pop out of the cave's interior.Then a rage filled screech that shook the entire cave echoed. Nex frowned as she looked towards the only pathway leading towards the innermost part of the cavern. She looked towards Nova who was hovering around the knights. [That doesn't sound good. I think you just woke the queen.]Nex cracked her knuckles, "Ain't that a good thing? The sooner we kill her the faster we get out of here." Nova shrugged his shoulders, [I'm not gonna stop you. Suit yourself. These creatures are filled with exquisite mana.]Nex repeatedy balled her fists as she was filled with vigor. She channeled h
Setsuna left the large forest ecosystem in tatters. It was filled with scorchmarks and countless charred bodies of the Arachnosapiens. She then found the edge of the forest and saw nothing but crags and glowing minerals.There was no pathway what so ever. She turned into lightning and surveyed the area only to the the vast forst area and no enrty nor exit point. She clicked her tongue as she removed the headphone from her head and turned the loud music off. She slowly walked around the edges of the forest cavern with her eyes closed. She put her palms on the craggy walls as she traced them while walking around.After a while a strong sound of flowing wind entered her ears. She stopped moving and her hands stopped along with her as she stared at the particular wall infront of her. She tilted her head as she stared at it. "Illusion magic? How? I doubt these creatures know how to cast this kind of magic."She gathered lightning on her hands as she was about to smash the rocks apart she r
Nex and Setsuna gawked at the hulking mosntrosity before them as it screeched shaking the entire area along with it. "This was supposed to be a test right?" Nex said as she looked towards her companion. Setsuna nodded her head dumbly as she scratched her head. "What part of this is for B-rank adventurers? Are they even human?" She said as they watched the quen come out unscathed from the barrage of attacks Nex and Setsuna delivered. "What kind of fucking standards does the guild expect from adventurers if their rank up quests are like this." Nex said as she put her hands on her hips. The two looked towards the queen slowly approaching them thinking of them as nothing but prey.Nex sighed, "Well we're already knee deep in the mud, no use whining now." She brought out a couple of blue vials and and handed them towards setsuna. "Let's make use of Nick's stash." She said maiking Setsuna raise her eyebrows."Where the hell did you even get these?" Nex grinned and snapped her fingers. She t
The golden lustre of its scales reflected off the illuminating flashes of thunder above the violet skies. Glaring orange eyes staring at insignificant lifeforms. As billowing smoke came out of it's long snout. They could catch a glimpse of its Fangs almost as tough as stellarite. Its wings flapped and created a gust of wind blowing away the rubble and revealing the two gawking at it from below.It's elongated neck stood tall as it roared across the skies. It was like a super sonic blast. Even both Setsuna and Nex covered their ears from the sheer force and volume of it. Within that same instant their mana barriers also instantly broke sending them flying towards the broken rubble.The creature flew up in the air and narrowed it's eyes trying find the two. It found them lying between the rubble as it gathered some kind of liquid inside its mouth as its forked tongue slithered. It spat out the liquid towards Nex and Setsuna. As soon as Setsuna regained her clarity she took out two tali
It was an endless white hallway.Nothing but mirrors surround her from both sides.She could see reflections of her self on each side. One was a small version of herself in a lab gown. HEr hair was a mess. Her blue eyes were baggy. She looked nothing more than an average kid that looked weak and frail. She couldn't sit still as her eyes darted around meekly. On the other side a more mature version of her self. Her beautiful features were dampened by her killing intent. The sheer ferocity and madness contained within those purple eyes could burn anything from it's path. She wore a nasty grin as her black shoes were painted red. Her bloodstained hands gripping a series of searing chains as it endlessly dragged countless of corpses attatched in its end.She looked infront of her. Multiple pathways slowly begin to blur as it was all merging into one. She herself was slowly becoming blurry as she was turning into static. She looked at her hands flickering from a frail child's to a feral
Nick and Crowley we're sitting in the sofa sipping the tea Blair refilled for them, while Faust was busy staring at several screens observing Proxima-9's orbit. Julian on the other hand was pacing back and forth while being covered in cold sweat. Faust leaned back in the sofa as he put his hand on his chin. "Is everything okay Faust?" Crowley said as he leisurely sipped his tea. Faust shook his head, "Nope, I'm just bored man." He said as he made the screens disappear. Blair gave him a cup of tea silently. Julian then scratched his head, "I don't understand how you all could relax while those two might be in grave danger!" They all looked at each other and laughed. Nick wiped the tears forming on his eyes. "Oh god Julian you crack me up. Ever wonder why no adventurer dies in Terachoma Prime?" Julian scratched his chin and looked down, "Uhh, a strict training regime? Discipline?" Nick shook his head, "It's the uniforms." Faust nodded his head, "It has a safety release, however it onl
Once he opened his eyes he could feel the flesh of a human body once more. He repeatedly balled the fists of Nex. He smiled and looked towards the dragon. [I'll be borrowing your body for a while kiddo. Don't hate me alright?] He said in a voice that is an amalgamation of both Nex's and his. [Alright Setsuna! Get ready! We're gonan start with a goddamn bang!] He said as Setsuna turned towards him while panting heavily. "Took you long enough! Is she going to be okay!?" Setsuna said as she dodged the incoming claw of the wyvern.[She's gonna be out for a while. Don't worry though! I got this.]Nova said as he clapped her hands.>He said as chains wrapped around the wyverns neck. The searing chains protruded from the ground as it coiled around the creature. Holding it down. More and more chains hooked itself and clipped the wyvern's wings. Pinning it to the ground. >He wielded the hammer however it weighed like a shit ton. Nova was unable to wield it. He
"Hey! Are you deaf, human? Did you kill this thing?" He said while glaring at her with his purple eyes. Nex was covered in cold sweat as she struggled to even utter a word. She looked at the countenance of the boy. He was a small statured teenager. He had delicate looks however his shoulder length wavy brown hair was decorated with two twisting and elongated horns. Both his bare hands and feet were covered in draconic scales. On his back was a tail akin to a lizard covered in armor. Although he was dressed like a normal mortal would, he was anything but.It was a being like no other she has encountered. A very dangerous one. Nex watched the man approach her slowly. She couldn't muster a single word as she was enveloped with fear. No matter how hard she tried not a single fibre of her body would respond towards the approaching danger. His gaze alone could freeze her on her tracks, like a snake eyeing it's prey.Hearing no answer from her the mysterious figure clicked his tongue and sho
