"Do you truly believe that you can bring me down with that mere beast of yours? Oh, how amusing!" The man scoffed as he delivered a forceful punch, causing Talon to crumble to the ground. In that moment, he was propelled upward, suspended in midair as a colossal dragon approached, its jaws gaping wide, ready to consume him.*Screeech!*"I, Danta, hereby summon the unrivaled beast from the Netherworld. I beckon your presence forth.""From realms unseen and shadows deep,I summon forth a creature steepedIn power ancient, fierce, and wild,A force that cannot be defiled.By the name of Danta, I do decree,Bring forth the beast that dwells with thee.Unleash its might, let darkness reign,"With every step, let chaos and fear remain," Danta's voice resonated with commanding authority as he began his incantation. As the jaws of the beast lunged forward, eager to devour Danta, an invisible force repelled it with such incredible power that it was sent hurtling backward. The gigantic dragon
As the dark orb split into two, Talon's master stood motionless amidst the blowing wind. His long hair swayed in sync with the cool breeze, while he gazed upon the desolate ground ravaged by the clash of two demonic beasts. David, standing nearby, observed Danta with a cigarette in hand, a faint smile playing on his lips.Danta, awestruck, asked, "Who are you?""You shouldn't be asking me who I am," David replied. "Instead, ask yourself what I am." With swift movements, he flashed scorecards, traversing through the depths of the Nether.In that fleeting moment, the body of the Demonic beast split in two, turning into ashes."Next time you choose your foes, remember not to pick my student," David remarked, still smirking as he paid no mind to the fallen beast."H...ow... Di...Nether... noooo!" Danta rushed past David, searching for any trace of his vanished beast."Noooo! You killed it!" Danta's anger turned towards Talon's master as he stared him down.Meanwhile, David extended his han
David repeated the process with all his limbs, leaving Danta in excruciating pain and disfigurement."This shall serve as a message to those who sent you—never lay a finger on them. Confronting your entire Demon Clan wouldn't be an impossible feat for me."David extended both hands towards Gene and Talon, a dark light emanating from his grasp."Shadow Healing," he uttered, employing the intricate technique. Mastering Shadow Healing as a Divine Shadow was exceptionally challenging, requiring the manipulation of shadow threads finer than a needle.Concentration, almost at maximum energy, was crucial for its execution. Two tendrils of dark energy seamlessly entered Talon and Gwen's bodies.Turning to the dragon, David commanded, "I entrust them to your care." Talon's body gently placed near the dragon, with Gwen in close proximity.Taking to the air, David soared with Danta's disrupted form. The reason behind David's departure.Please, bear with me due to School stress I have been releas
As Drally underwent its transformation, little did they know that Talon had been quietly present, resting his head on the creature while in a weakened state. Just as the Drally began to ascend, Talon accidentally bumped his head on a nearby rock, causing a dull thud. However, he remained undisturbed, still lost in slumber.Gwen heard the abrupt sound and swiftly turned to investigate, her Drally dancing happily on her shoulders. Her eyes widened as she realized it was Talon who had collided with the rock."Oh, shit!" Gwen exclaimed, rushing towards Talon's side. Concerned, she carefully examined his head for any signs of injury. To her relief, there were no visible wounds, and a wave of gratitude washed over her. She smiled, tears of joy welling up, as she saw Talon safe and sound, in stark contrast to his previously bloodied and beaten state from the encounter with Danta.Gwen's hands still cradled Talon's head securely as she gazed at his face. She found herself captivated by his ro
Drally, who was flying swiftly through the air, searched for a pond or any nearby structures. Meanwhile, Talon lay on Drally, his head resting on Gwen's body, visibly trembling with restlessness."Drally, increase your speed," Gwen urged, spreading her wings wider to accelerate their flight. Finally, Gwen caught sight of a reflective surface ahead. "Drally, get closer!" she shouted, diving downward in an attempt to inspect the area more closely to see if it was suitable for Talon.As Drally descended, Gwen confirmed that they were approaching a body of water. "Drally, we'll land here," Gwen gently tapped Drally's scales as they neared the edge of the pond, surrounded by trees. Drally made a stop there.Drally took a deep breath and unleashed a controlled fire breath to burn the nearby bush, simultaneously switching to ice breath to freeze the burnt trees. As Drally touched down on the ground, the earth quaked, causing the frozen, burnt particles to break and shatter. Drally let out a
Drally, now in her smaller form, flew clumsily with a stick in her mouth, struggling to chew. Her adorable appearance caught everyone's attention. Meanwhile, Talon was taken aback as a rush of memories flooded his mind, leaving him disoriented. "What?" he exclaimed, bewildered by the sudden influx of recollections.Gwen, sensing that something was amiss, quickly stood up, her concern evident in her expression. "What's going on?" she asked, moving closer to Talon and gently touching him. A blush crept onto her face as she recalled the events of the previous day.Talon, taken aback by Gwen's proximity, instinctively covered his lower region and turned away, avoiding her gaze. "Did we do something yesterday?" he inquired, trying to piece together the fragments of his memory. His surroundings revealed traces of blood and dark substances scattered on the ground.Gwen's anger flared upon hearing his question. Feeling a sense of shame, she attempted to cover herself. "Are you seriously as
Talon, unable to find any words, watched as Gwen departed, knowing he was the cause of their current situation. He saw no fault in her actions and simply accepted the consequences. "Damn! I suppose I'll just have to go along with it. This might be the beginning of my suffering," Talon thought to himself, contemplating the potential repercussions Gwen had in store for him.Talon exited through the same door, walking with a sense of resignation. He knew his destination was the Arena, and he headed in that direction. Along the way, he noticed a middle-aged man with black hair, not particularly imposing in size but incredibly tall. The man wore a combat outfit and had an earpiece in his ear. Talon had to crane his neck to get a good look at him as their paths crossed in the hallway."Talon, report to the Protector's Office," the man commanded, motioning for him to follow.The Protector was the individual responsible for overseeing all the NewBlood Initiates and handling any dangers they e
Gwen walked away from Talon, seemingly unaffected by his words. However, Talon refused to give up so easily. Determination filled his gaze as he watched her retreating figure."I will do everything within my power to earn back your trust and bring you back to my side," Talon whispered to himself. Meanwhile, at the arena, the judges took their positions at the judging area. This was the moment when their role as judges would truly come into play. The remaining NewBlood Initiates gathered, as the instructor assumed his customary position."We have now reached the mid-finals of the Enrollment Trials," the instructor announced, his voice commanding attention. "At this stage, only those that fall under the cut off range of points will be granted full admission to the school.""This stage marks the beginning of the knockout rounds, so all those who have successfully advanced to this level will be competing in teams. There are 1000 candidates left, and they will be randomly assigned to grou
