Merlo would've loved to be down with the new pianist that had been employed for the bar, but he had been waiting for one of his members to arrive.He tapped his feet on the floor, waiting eagerly for them to walk through the door as the song they had been playing was reaching its end. "I'll kill him," He got up but before he made his ascent, Val teleported in front of him. Kneeling onto one knee immediately he materialized."I am sorry for the wait my lord. The humans have eyes on me, i cant afford to slip up once." Val explained the reason for the delay."I see. So, how is your progress. Do you think the plan would be able to go as smoothly as it should?" Merlo sat up on his chair, indicating the importance of the plan's success."Its all going accordingly, all the nations are banding together to attack Vancrest. In a few months the war should take place.""And then we'll have the Pandora's Blessings.""What about the death of Liric Titanfall? He might become a thorn in our side at so
The sun was setting over the magnificent city of Gales, casting a warm orange glow across its towering structures. Finn couldn't help but appreciate the serene atmosphere as he strolled alongside Emma. The city's air was filled with an aura of tranquillity, a stark contrast to the chaos that had plagued their lives recently.As they floated on Emma's wind construct. Finn's keen eyes caught sight of something unusual in the distance. A mob of soldiers, armed and armored, was approaching the city with a determined march. Emma, startled by the sight, gasped and began to quicken her pace toward the city gates."Finn, the war has already started!" Emma exclaimed, her voice trembling with urgency. "We need to get back to Gales now!"Meanwhile, in a different part of the city, Jared, Darwin, and Paige found themselves locked in a fierce battle against Entrela, a formidable opponent who wielded a whip that could slice through almost anything. Jared utilized his unique ability to transmute m
Finn looked at Blair Rancrept as she swung the spear that used to belong to Hiakam with careless abandon. Behind her was a mob of soldiers that slowly marched into the city."Emma, what about the adventurers?" Finn asked as his blades materialized in his hands."They should be here, unless something is wrong." Emma looked around and the royal guards of Gales walked out of the gates, each of them armed to protect the city. "What happened to Hiakam?" Finn asked Blair as she walked toward them, with the mob of soldiers heading toward the gates. "Hiakam? You mean the previous owner of this weapon? I killed him. Why?" Blair spoke."Nothing, i just wanted to confirm it." Finn set a stance. It wasn't evident on his face, but he wanted to slice off her neck with one slash."You want to fight her alone?" Emma inquired, as Finn set a stance."Go assist the city. They need it, I'll join you when I'm done here."She didn't want to leave Finn to Blair but she had just seen him kill a demon and ev
All three demons walked into the school of Vancrest with Gangrene devouring all the students they found on their way to the site where the Blessing's were kept. "How can you eat all those small fries without puking?" Osiris made a gag gesture."He hasn't eaten a servant of AE, thats why. Until he does that, the small fry would taste like a cuisine." Albatross explained.They walked through the passages of the academy bypassing the dorms and the buildings the teachers usually resided it, "I'm guessing they sent all of their teachers into Vancrest to stop the war." Osiris presumed."Yes, that would explain the quietness." Gangrene input."Nope, not all of them left." Albatross pointed toward a lone man who stood opposite them."I couldn't feel his mana signature, but he has mana. Its just little compared to other humans I've devoured." Osiris said."So you are demons, God i hate when Emirus is right." The man began stretching his arms and legs. "So, I'm guessing you're here for the Bless
"What about the Blessings in the humans hands? What do we do about them?" Val asked Merlo, who drank water this time."Its simple, with the war going on. Its simple a win-win bet. Do you bet on Vancrest or the invaders? Whatever side wins or loses is going to be weakened and with that, taking the Blessing's would be easier than snatching a wallet from a blind man.""Who would you employ for this task my lord?""Genesis, Sphinx, Rogue and Lilith." Merlo looked at the glass of water dropping it onto the table at once. "I can understand the other three but don't you think Lilith is too unexperienced for this kind of mission?" Val wondered."Do you question my judgment?" Merlo stared at Val and instantly the demon put his head down."No my lord, i would never.""Good. Take them alongside you, the Blessing's would look glorious in Lord EA's hands. Oh I can just envision it." Merlo spoke, his voice almost as if he was in pure ecstasy.Airi and Lyra ran atop the buildings as they saw a giant
Emirus triggered a massive fire spell aimed directly at the titan-like entity, yet within the shadow realm, Mura orchestrated the darkness to swiftly absorb the spell the moment it was conjured. "So you're gonna be like that."Emirus dogded a punch sent toward him by the Titan, rolling over to the side of the realm. There were two ways to deal with large scale containment techniques and Emirus only had one way within his arsenal.[Scorch Magic: Molten Spearhead] Emirus placed his hands on the ground and from directly the Titan were several spearheads made out of lava, he had expected the spell to be absorbed by the darkness and his expectations were on the spot. "Using the same techniques inside my spell will get you no where, adventurer." Mura tapped her staff on the ground and several other Titans spawned from the darkness. "Kill him."Each of them charged toward Emirus and a little smirk could be seen on the face of the adventurer. "You seem to forget why I'm where i am within Vanc
Ten with his hand raised in the air had won the fight, and although his limiter had run out, he still had to go and warn Igor and the others of whats to come. However, before he could take the step toward them, he couldn't move anymore.It felt as if his body had been glued in place, and slowly in front of him was the exploded pieces of Albatross slowly regenerating in front of him. He couldn't move his head but the demon he had blown to bits had pieced itself back together."Your blood has crystallized." Albatross said, cracking his finger. "Its a shame i had to win this way, but thats how strong you are.""Ho-how?" Ten forced himself to speak."My heart lives with lord Merlo. I am his personal creation, his puppet, his son." Albatross pushed Ten over. "If i had told you that there was no chance of beating me, we wouldn't have had this spectacular fight."Ten chuckled inwardly as he watched the hope on his students eyes vanish before him, his life was fading away and the demon was sti
Liric could feel her presence get closer and closer to him. "Finally." He jumped off the cliff, landing gracefully onto the ground. The previously clear sky had become cloudy and stagnant, indicating that a storm was brewing.Constant thunderclaps could be heard in intervals as Roze flew toward Liric's position like a thunderbolt of lightning. Her presence alone produced thunderstorms and to keep the village of Rizen safe from her onslaught, he employed a barrier."I mean, my barriers already useless against her sword so why not use it for another purpose." Liric extended his hand into the air, pushing the barrier that surrounded him over the village. "That should protect them from any unfortunate accidents."Liric bent onto his knees, putting his hands out and he stretched. "Roze is definitely not going to take it easy on me." He popped back up, twisting his back, stopping when he heard a large pop in his spine. "That shouldn't have popped that way.""LIRIC TITANFALL!!!!!" A voice sc
