Out of nowhere, a relentless barrage of attacks materialized, filling the air with fireballs, arrows, swords, and an array of deadly weapons. The projectiles swirled around them, creating a chaotic and dangerous dance.Reacting swiftly, Gwen rushed to take hold of David, a surge of maternal instinct guiding her actions. In a brilliant display, a golden glow enveloped her as a staff materialized in her hands, forming a protective barrier for her childIn an instant, Talon's hands gracefully rotated through the air, halting the entire assault mid-flight. The enemy threats that had launched the attacks found themselves frozen in place, unable to move or continue their onslaught.A wicked smirk played upon Talon's lips as he reveled in his knowledge of the hidden threats that had yet to reveal themselves. The demons, realizing their opponent was no match for them, yearned to escape. However, they were rendered powerless, frozen like statues."You all believe you can challenge me and walk a
All the demons present moved in unison, interrupting Talon before he could finish speaking. Talon's inner smile widened; the unexpected was about to unfold.As the first laser beam sliced through the air towards him, Little David snug against his chest, Talon smoothly evaded, a swift bend ensuring the deadly ray missed its mark. Rising with precision, he surged forward, as he became a mirage as he propelled Little David’s outstretched hands, cloaked in a veil of spatial energy. Releasing his grip, the tiny hands of Little David met the person that launched the attack with force, striking the demon squarely on the chin. The demon hurtled through the air, crashing with onto a nearby building. *Thud!* His head was impaled into the ground, while his buttocks faced upwards."Hahahahahaha!" Little David's laughter rang out joyously. "That's my boy," Talon said as he swished Little David's hair. "How can a child possess such power?" murmured the astonished demons.Gwen, initially i
In a sudden burst of energy, Talon carrying little David and Gwen stepped out from a swirling portal that appeared out of thin air landing in the dark forest. This particular area marked the boundary between the Safe Bone and the City of High Borns. Talon was well aware that Gwen would most likely be found in the Safe Zone, which was the only place where she could seek refuge. However, before reaching their destination, they had to navigate through the Demonic Forest. Even the most skilled experts with an S-Class Ranking rarely returned from this place, as it was rumored to harbor beasts of unimaginable power, surpassing even the SSS-Class Ranking stage. Consequently, the Demonic Forest instilled fear in the hearts of many.Nevertheless, the Holy Druids, who possessed an affinity with demonic beasts, had a slightly higher probability of successfully traversing the terrain.Talon, being one of them, aimed to absorb some Demonic Cores to stabilize his Spatial Energy. Despite his tr
[Objective: Defeat the Gorilla Bear - Completed][Reward: S-Class Automatic Resonance Shield]"The Automatic Resonance Shield? What am I supposed to use this for?" Talon muttered, his voice filled with surprise and a hint of disappointment. [You will understand its purpose when the time is right]However, Talon's immediate concern was not the shield. His attention was fixated on the black orb levaiting just above the Gorilla's lifeless body. Without hesitation, he shifted his focus to absorbing the power contained within the orb.Having released David from his grasp, Talon was taken aback to see the young boy playfully jumping on the dead Gorilla's body. Little David's curiosity led him to reach out towards the black orb, prompting Talon to shout in alarm,"Nooo!" he shouted in dismay, as he flashed with only his mirage seen. The ground cracked beneath him with great force as he desperately tried to reach Little David. However, it was too late; Little David had already touched the orb
The event that unfolded suggested that little David might be one of the youngest Awakened individuals in both Earth Central and Earth Prime. The gems floated around him while they both sat in the air with crossed legs. It appeared as if little David resembled a smaller version of Talon, as they seemed to be in similar circumstances during their awakening ceremonies.Talon continued to tap David's back gently, attempting to circulate the energy within his body to ensure that it wouldn't hinder his future progress. As Talon continued his chants, "Hallowed be thy name," a boom echoed through the air, similar to what had occurred during Talon's own Awakening Ceremony.Another boom followed, as the final Divine virtue lit up, surprising even Talon himself. It seemed that David might surpass him in this aspect.Gwen couldn't hold back tears of joy as she witnessed this extraordinary moment. She knew that Talon, her husband, had possessed 23 out of the virtues, but due to his descent into t
Talon, upon hearing little David's scream, rushed over to where he was. He was momentarily taken aback by the scene unfolding before him."Aaaaah!""Talon, tell me what's going on!" Gwen hurried to David's side, fear evident on her face.Talon held his arms, feeling his own breath pass through them, and he spoke up. "Mommy!""The energy in his body seems unstable. It appears he's experiencing an energy shock. If we don't find a solution within the next twelve hours, he may not survive." Talon nodded, feeling helpless in the moment."What can we do to stop it?" Gwen angrily struck his shoulder as she moved towards David, clutching his head and trying to calm him down."You promised that nothing would happen to my child... You promised to protect him with your life. You must fulfill that promise!" Gwen cried, holding onto her son as he trembled on the bed."I will do everything in my power to save him. I promised you that if he dies, I will die with him," Talon assured her, closing his
Talon leaped to where the cub was and cradled it in his arms, taking cover behind a sturdy tree. He knew a direct confrontation with the beast wouldn't be enough to defeat it. He needed to devise another strategy, especially considering his limited energy."If I were to summon four S-Class Ranking Beasts, I could overpower this creature. However, doing so would drain a quarter of my energy, and it could take me up to three days to fully recover. Moreover, if I were to encounter another beast during that time, fighting back would become nearly impossible. How can I defeat this monster without depleting too much of my energy... Nolat, I require your assistance."[I expected you to be wiser and not need my help.]"I never claimed such wisdom. Please, lend me your aid quickly. Time is of the essence," Talon pleaded, noticing the cub's desire to return to its mother, which would undoubtedly result in a scream."Gr...!" However, before the cub could make a sound, Talon swiftly conjured a go
**************Earth Prime....Two days Earlier...On Earth Prime, within the heavily fortified walls of Sector Zero Facility. Willy, the Principal of the Heavenly Artificiers, had made it a habit to casually catch a check on Talon whenever he could. After all, for the past five years, his every move were closely monitored.Little did Willy know, Talon had been quietly biding his time, preparing for his eventual escape. As fate would have it, today was the day when everything fell into place.Willy strolled along the corridor, his eyes scanning the surroundings, until he reached Talon's designated cell. To his surprise, there was no sign of Talon within the pristine white room. Confusion washed over him as he meticulously surveyed every corner, yet he couldn't identify anyone present."What? He's missing?" Willy's brows furrowed in disbelief, but he needed to confirm whether Talon had truly escaped. Without hesitation, he swiftly activated the bio scanner with his hands, causing the do
