5 days have passed since the incident and is now the for the burial of the 6 people who died in the battle. Kendrick is now standing in front of the graves of his family as they are being lowered beneath them. There were a lot of people who attended the interment of his family. And most of them are normal people that is saying their respects for the priest. But some of them made Kendrick’s blood boil. Because some of those who attended were the people who shunned Father Edgar and was the sole reason why the church closed. The ones who stole the donations for the church and used it for their own gain. They blamed it all to Father Edgar, that’s why as punishment, the government shut the church down and labeled Father Edgar as a corrupt priest. It just makes Kendrick’s skin crawl by the fact that they had the nerve to show up in front of the man they betrayed and tarnished. But he must stay calm as he doesn’t want to make it worse since confronting them is not what Father Edgar wants. As
With everything already taking place, no one is staying put, even the citizens. They can all hear the thunderous screams, clashes of swords, and explosions from afar. But that is nothing compared to what is happening on the battlefield. The screams of the people being killed, all of them had their loyalties to their boss, and yet, they don’t have the guts to die in the hands of their enemies. The Jack Pirates are in control of the battle with it comes to dealing with the small fries. However, the officers are a different story. Everyone is now bleeding after just an hour into the fight, and it is not something to be happy about. Because if they are struggling to even scratch their enemies, then their chance of winning will be slim. William is having a hard time fighting Richardson, and this is the first since his last battle. He can’t land anything on Richardson, and that is him also using his boon. “What, are you tired already? It’s embarrassing, you are even considered as the Vice-
"What do you mean all of them dies? I thought that—""The Shadow Emperor can be deceiving at times. He is the least trusted emperor in the Hall of Nature. Some say he carries bad luck and curses every apprentice he makes, that's all I know, but it sure is amazing that you are still here. How long have you been here anyway?" The woman asked. "It's been almost a month I think, yes, a month." I replied."And you're not dead? That's a miracle. That's something to be discussed about. But anyway, why did you ask my level and name?" she questioned."Well, I think we should team up to save the village, don't you think?" I proposed. And as soon as those words came out of my mouth, the woman started to argue. She is emphasizing that competing against a group of bandits is a bad thing as it is only achieved by the guilds, or the adventurers. They have the full authority to capture and execute criminals or players who have become outlaws. She then explained that this game is not the game that a

With the feeling of fear for the first time, the hybrid then felt the excitement surging through its veins. Its wings flapped wide, and the grin on its face became wider.“Thomas Jack, I’ll remember that name alright!” the hybrid screeched as it then launched forward for an attack.With a deep breath, Thomas stepped to his right and just swiftly avoided the attack of the hybrid. Earlier, because of uncertainty, Thomas was unable to avoid and become more agile. But right now, he is almost as light as a feather that is being blown by a wind. Every movement he makes, it was just so flawless, that the hybrid started getting sweaty and the exhaustion is now evident. With his previous intense battles, Thomas has learned a lot, and because of those battles…he became stronger. Parry…dodge…duck…jump…and slash. Finally, the hybrid got wounded by the blade of Thomas.“That sting, quite a sword you have there. I would like to add it to one of my talons!” the hybrid laughed. Now it all makes sen

Johnny continued his story, and then eventually told Kendrick and Erika that he needs to go back to his village, but he does not have the ability to do so as he is not strong enough to defend himself from hordes of demons that are much stronger than him, and another is that he is definitely outnumbered. Kendrick, who was listening put the fire out after cooking their dinner as the whole store is being filled with some and it will get hard to breathe if they continue this fire. As they ate, Kendrick asked him, “Why do you want to go back anyway?” Kendrick asked as he sipped on his corn and crab soup. “I have something to recover. Something the village elder told us to get once the village is annihilated, and I think that thing is important if the elder insisted to us like that.” Johnny replied as he then continued to eat. Erika was just wolfing down her food and was never butting in in the conversation as she has got nothing to say in this. “So, I am here to ask for help—” “No!” K
“What do you mean the son of Capone? Our source—”“Your source would not know, of course. Bonney is young, she will not know all the secrets. Do you think that a man like Capone would only do heinous crimes against other people? No. Because making me a lab-rat when I was still 4 is something he calls fun.” The hybrid says.“So, if that’s the case. Why’d you still want to stick around your father after all the things he has done and keeps doing to you?” Thomas asked.“He’s my father—”“He may be your father, but he does not see you as his son.”“I can’t leave him. He is my father, which is why I must stay loyal!”“Being his son does not justify the fact that he made you into a monster!” Thomas argued.He feels sympathy for some reason. The one in front of him is a monster who has killed more than a hundred men at least, and yet, he feels pity. Because the person in front of him is blinded by fear and trauma, which makes him more of a monster because of it. His wrongful loyalty to a per
