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
Qiba and Igor had switched locations and in that quick moment, a vine grabbed Qiba's leg tossing him across the building. "Teleportation?" Igor pondered, as he turned around to see Qiba being tossed away."I hate dealing with bothersome chores." Osiris walked toward Igor, who's bones protruded out of his body."So the vines were a dud?" Igor asked as he squared up, waiting for Osiris to make her move.Osiris stared at Igor, before teleporting right in front of him, a vine that protruded from her hair grew in size grabbing him by the waist.[Deadly Bones: White Spiral] Igor spun his bones around, ripping through the vines like paper. He glanced at Osiris and once he made an effort to stab his bone into her being.[Plunder]He was teleported into the air, and Q ran through the room, letting Igor fall onto his back and he trampled the area Osiris had been standing at.[Forest Magic: Matyr, Eternal Disruption]A colossal forest materialized, with countless vines ensnaring Q's massive form,
Liric yawned as he walked beside Franc and Ten, their mission today was a sad but necessary one. "Putting yourself on the map like that is such a risky thing to do." Franc sighed as they walked."Its only risky when you aren't me." Liric winked as he simultaneously put up a peace sign."Dana Thunderfall, also known as the Thunder God of Imahara. Works for the city as Imahara as their number one adventurer, also helps the nation In most of their battles." "And now she's being branded as a threat, i guess you two have that in common." Franc put his hands behind his head."The only difference is that Liric has the power to back it up, she doesn't." Ten contributed."Didn't she take down a corrupted black dragon by herself?" Franc rubbed his chin."No, by no means is she a slouch. She's definitely strong enough to warrant her position, however. I don't think we're going to fail this mission.""I understand what you mean." Franc exhaled."C'mon boys, don't be so down." Liric tried cheering
Mernes stood there in front of Darwin and Jared, they stared at her as she smiled, her body burnt and her hand cut off. She looked to her sides and the city guards surrounded her, leading them was no other than Arstet Bonvance."Stop at once, you're surronded." Arstet warned Mernes who glanced at him.At age seven she had beaten everyone in the village she had grown up in, she beat adults and adventurers alike due to her immense strength. And with her strength came unparalleled confidence.She believed she could defeat anything, hence why she partnered with the Seven deadly sins. She believed that after the war, she'd be given a fight. That was the only reason she joined.However, now in her current situation she laughed as the guards pointed her spear at her. Her body was ruined and her strength had depleted, she had fought an amazing opponent and she was glad she did.She turned to Darwin, "What is your name great warrior." "Darwin... Darwin Oslo." He replied."Your name will foreve
They all bowed in front of Merlo as they presented the Blessing's toward him. Merlo stared at the amount of Blessing's they had been able to procure with a frown on his face, he wasn't angry but the fact that two were missing were infuriating."Genesis, I believe you were sent after the boy said to be AE's subject." Merlo got up, heading toward Genesis who bent down on one knee. "You know, i have three favorites out of you all. Albatross, Albion and Talon. Solely based on their merits."Genesis gulped as Merlo approached him, he might have been an important member of the demons but leaving Finn for Gemini might've been a bad idea, especially after he was ordered by Merlo to kill him."Now, Gemini. Are you apart of my three favorites?" Merlo asked and immediately Genesis shook his head, he smacked the demon so hard his head flew toward the door. "This will be the last time you will ever disobey me.""Yes, Sir." Genesis replied."You all are dismissed and on your way out, Osiris, call Li
Draco'nel watched as Merlo injected his blood into El, making him a demon was the first step to their plan, after he becomes one he would be fed the bodies of AE's subjects and after a certain amount of bodies has been consumed. Their lord would return to the world.As Merlo conducted his experiments on the boy, Draco'nel walked away from the church heading toward his office. He was excited but at the same time he was lonely.He had strived for this world for years and now it was finally coming to fruition, and he didn't know what to do. He would undoubtedly be killed after the revival of EA and although he had long seen that outcome. It started to settle."Scared?" Exodus asked and Draco'nel turned toward him wondering how the demon had entered since he locked the door. "I broke your door handle, don't worry. One of your lackeys is fixing it right now." Exodus sat on a chair opposite him."To what do i owe this great visit master Exodus?" Draco'nel asked."Cut the honorific's, what's
Harlow held his chest as he walked through the streets of Halestadine, he had successfully convinced everyone that he was dead and now he could live a peaceful life.He didn't want to fight demons, regardless of his system. He didn't want any of those things, he wanted to rest while staring at the sun. So he planned his death, and here he was. A free man.He walked and ran until he got to Falusha, he walked the streets and not one soul turned toward him. He had finally gained a new life and there was nothing that could top what he felt on that moment.Ever since he came to this world, he had been stricken with depression. The system he was given, 'Godlike' gave him insurmountable strength, however at the cost of knowing where his friends were and feeling their pain.His system was essentially a commander system, allowing him to guide his troops which in this case would be the other members from the cave into battle successfully. However, everything changed when Jamie died, then Gilbert
For countless miles, Exodus journeyed across the desolate expanses of the outlands. His master had tasked him with a mission to seek out those yearning to shed their weaknesses, and he dedicated months to fulfilling this daunting quest. At last, he had accomplished his mission.He walked into a structure that was within the outlands, within it were hundreds of men and women who had seemed to be losing their patience."When are you going to make us demons!" One of them shouted at the top of his lungs."You've kept us here for months! What is this, some kind of scam?!"Exodus walked toward the front where Leviathan, another one of the demons had stood. "Did any more show up?" Exodus asked as he dusted his clothes."Nope," Leviathan said as he yawned. "So are actually making them demons or are we slaughtering them?""The former Leviathan. Lord Merlo wants to test if it's possible to create an evolved demon from a human." "Why, doesn't that destroy the entire purpose of our battle?" Levia
Finn woke up on the shield of another adventurer, he rubbed his hand over his face and sat up, looking around at his surroundings. His memory was blurry and all he could vividly remember was being passed drinks until he passed out. "Hangoverrrr hurrtttss." He got up, stumbling until he got to a wall he could lean on."Good morning, Finn." Yelan greeted and Finn gazed at her momentarily before holding his mouth, stopping himself from puking on the ground."Hi... Yelan.""Fun night right? Martha made a decent amount as well, only the first round was free." Yelan wrote something on a piece of paper as she spoke."Is that so? I'm gonna go upstairs... the quicker I pass out... the better my well-being becomes." Finn stumbled as he walked toward Martha's bar."There are no spare rooms by the way," Yelan said as she worked. "Martha's rooms have been packed up for a while now.""Argh." Finn fell onto the floor, making inaudible noises as he did."By the way, there's a mission for you," Yelan u
Finn put his blade into the chest of the dragon, carving out its heart and putting it into a bag he had carried along with him."Let's introduce ourselves properly, we're Dungeon Crawl. A party of four, you already know me but I am Sophia Kingsblade, lead mage of the party and these are my party members." Sophia started."I am Ander Lagris, Knight of the group. As you saw by my earlier demonstration my strength is on par with the higher-level adventurers of the guild." Ander laughed garishly, his masculine features shining as he did."I'm Rook, Rook Withershay, I'm the secondary mage. My job is to stop and distract the enemy while Ander and Sophia deal the heavy-hitting attacks." Rook dropped his staff on the ground, wiping his face."Nice to meet you... didn't you say four? I count three. Did your fourth not come?" Finn inquired and the party looked at each other, their faces sour as they did. "He's dead." Sophia pointed toward a charred body that lay on the ground. "He was our attac
The battlefield crackled with the clash of elemental powers as Darwin faced off against Void. Flames danced gracefully around Darwin's outstretched hands, each flicker a testament to his mastery over fire. In stark contrast, Void manipulated the very fabric of space itself, compressing it to create razor-sharp edges or pushing with a gravitational force that threatened to crush his opponent.Jared, watching the unfolding battle, felt a surge of realization. "I knew it," he whispered, his eyes narrowing as he witnessed the intensity of the elemental confrontation.As flames soared and space contorted, Paige remained at Darwin's side, her eyes focused on the mysterious cauldron at Void's side. An idea sparked within her, and she swiftly reached for her trusty gun."I've got a plan," Paige declared, determination gleaming in her eyes.Darwin, enveloped in a protective barrier of swirling flames, nodded. "Do it."Paige loaded her gun with precision, the rhythmic click of the magazine echoi
"Ahh, now i see why Gemini couldn't finish you off." Valley jumped out of the wall he had been launched into, landing onto the ground with a thud, his body already having regenerated Finn's earlier attack."But still, he said he got you pretty good. How did you allow that happen if you're so strong.""You talk too much." Finn darted toward Valley and to everyone else who watched the fight, his run was more of a flicker.[Triple boost] Finn used boost, however this time onthe ground. He darted behind Valley catching the demon off guard before kicking him again into the sky. The second boost was used to push himself into the air to kick Valley higher into the air and the last boost was used to push Finn into the air above him.Finn primed his leg for a descending kick, however in an instant Valley grabbed his leg, throwing him toward the bell he had been thrown toward earlier. "You have strength however, your use of it is predictable.""Predictable huh." Finn's daggers materialized once
In the heart of the enigmatic Qinqi Forest, Roman found himself disoriented, standing beside Val, the enigmatic figure responsible for their sudden teleportation. His ability was a unique one even within his clan, it was one that allowed him to set multiple checkpoints in certain locations and instantly teleport toward them.Teleportation wasn't unheard off in their world however it was a very unique ability and the clan abilities that resembled it, were useless in battle due to their abilities conditions. However Val had no conditions on his ability, apart from a checkpoint having being open prior.Roman's immediate concern was the absence of his fellow magistrates and Liric, who were supposed to accompany them.With a perplexed look on his face, Roman turned to Val. "Where are the others?" He demanded. "Weren't we supposed to be sent to the same place?"Val, his eyes portraying a sinister glint, smirked and replied, "Seems like my ability went a bit haywire, its not the first time so
Finn ran down an open path in the cave that led to where the dragon's roar had come from. He had been eager to test his abilities but as he turned a corner and saw the large beast, his previous eagerness turned into a will to run.Beneath the dragon were adventurers who fought it, and beneath the adventurers were corpses with iron plates strapped onto their chests. Finn had seen enough death in his time at the academy but it was always awful to see such a thing, despite how much he thought he had gotten used to the sight. It was just one of those things that the body would never get used to. Finn stopped in his tracks, there were a multitude of adventurers all attacking the dragon, using their spells and weapons however their attack bounced off the colossal beast like pebbles thrown at an iron wall."That's it, I'm done!" One adventurer uttered, turning back and heading toward Finn but as he made his move to retreat the dragon unleashed a fiery onslaught that burnt him down to ash in
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
The small western like doors of the bar were opened and they walked in. They looked around as they did and they sat down on the opposite side of the bar where they could see its entirety."What do you want, Sir?" The waiter walked up to them, holding a check-board in her hand."We're fine on the food, all we have are some questions." The man on of the two spoke. "Come closer." The waiter, stopped for a while before putting her head closer to the mans face. "Do you want to die with these people?" He asked and she stepped back."Darwin, you're gonna scare her to death." His companion hit his knee. "Sorry darling, we just mean. Do you want to go down with the dumb fucks in here?!""And here you are making it worse, Paige." Darwin slammed his head as he sighed. "So whats your answer waitress-lady? You gonna out the demon you guys are hiding in the back or are we going to have to tear through the building ourselves."He knows about the demon kill them!" One of the men got up, within his ar
