The Last Conjura Chapter 16
Chapter 16JESSICA“North this, South that, no it’s right around the corner. That bastard’s been making me run around in circles for almost three weeks now. And anytime I try to return to headquarters, he’ll run to the higher-ups, and they’ll just double my problems. For a #4, the runt’s a crybaby.”*SLASH*I cut through a piece of unchecked wood with my blade.I hated the way Jared would always run to the higher-ups whenever he wanted something to go in his favor. Just one of them saw his rants as actual rants, but I hadn't seen him in a while. Only God knows the amount of action I’d missed back at headquarters. For some odd reason, he didn’t want me anywhere near there. That had to be the only reasonable explanation for why he’d kept me gallivanting for so long.I wouldn’t have complained if I at least got a decent piece of action. But it’s been grass, grass and more grass.*SLASH*“Next time I see that asshole, I’m gonna kill him” I thought to myself, about to tick another unrestr

Chapter 17GABBY“You’re really going to leave?”“It’s not like I have a choice, Harumi.”“We can try and convince her. I don’t know, maybe make up something and—”“You want us to lie to her… again?” I wearily added. “I appreciate the help, but when Emily’s mind’s made up, her mind’s made up” I smiled.“He’s still unconscious though. Aren’t you gonna need help—”“Hover” I whispered, and a ball of air gently took him into its nest.“Oh.”“Goodbye Harumi” I smiled at the pretty redhead. “Goodbye Hiro” I scuffled his neck long hair."Dai…su…ke" I heard him mutter. “Where are you gonna go?” she asked, just before I took the back door.I sighed.“My last resort."….My family was a very complicated one. And unlike other people that have some light in the beginning or at the end of the tunnel, I kinda had neither. It had genuinely been shit for all twenty-two years of my life. The happiest moment of my existence was probably when I left this God-forsaken plot of land I called home, and to

Chapter 18JENNIFER"I'm guessing the regeneration ability doesn't come with a regenerating set of brain cells" It said with nonchalance. The longer this fight went on, the more annoyed I became. I still hadn't found a way to kill this… whatever he was yet. As a matter of fact, I was yet to land a single blow on him. "Enough silly games. Why don't we end this once and for all" I tried catching my breath. "Thought you'd never ask. Simple technique… Multiplicity."Like it wasn't hard enough fighting one of him, now I had to contend with almost forty more. "Ready to end this?" I heard from no one in particular.This was my guess. He wasn't a mimic, but somehow, he managed to hit me with super speed, a decent amount of super strength, and now, multiplicity. Whatever he was, I hadn't heard of it. But if multiplicity was his way of ending the fight, then one very important detail sprung to my intuition. One, if he's a low or moderate level threat, he's a newbie. Since when do simple

Chapter 19JARED"Probability manipulation. For seven and a half minutes after activation, a user is able to predict, control and manipulate any physical event. He's still in the infant stages, but I'd say he's growing pretty well. So, what do you think?""You couldn't have just said that before you made him torch me?" Ittetsu whined, audibly unimpressed. "Well, he needed a trigger, and I needed a demonstration—""So the kid had to torch me. Okay. Got it. Let me return the favor"In one swift course of action, he threw a fiery left hook for Jordan's chest, but his hands passed right through. "Heh?""Oh yes, I forgot about that. Space Manipulation. It creates a whirlpool pocket dimension to cheat the laws of probability, basically coexisting with my power if probability manipulation. Because if my powers are activated in actual space and time, reality could collapse in on itself, right Jared?" Jordan smiled. "Right!"Like the pest he was, I slapped Ittetsu across the

The Last Conjura Chapter 20ADRIAN OHARAI watched with a wry smile as he walked on what was now dry land. The second he stepped out, the parted river behind him immediately collapsed. That'd mean Gabriella just released her technique. I sneaked a peek at her, and she was just as shocked as I was. From the look on her face, she didn't understand what was going on eitherEven after releasing Riptide, Ryuu managed to harness the tiniest bit of it, and kept his heart beating with the slab of circulating water on his chest. "Miss Gabby, are you okay?" he emotionlessly asked. "Y… yeah." she answered. "Good. Who is he?""He's my…""Finally woke up, but on the wrong side of the river, I guess" I cut in before Gabby could talk. "That's one pretty solid 'harness' you've got going on" I gestured to his chest, but he didn't take his eyes off me. "Miss Gabby, any orders?""Don't kill him… that's all.""Mnn" he nodded, tilting his head down. *ZOOMMMM*He sped in my direction. "Oh, you're fa

The Last Conjura Chapter 21ITTETSU"Joker!" Sira ran over to her injured friend wheezing on the floor. "I told him to be patient" Jester muttered."Who are you people?" I asked. They were all silent. "I won't ask again.""Who we are is none of your business. What we're here for should be your concern" Jester assumed a fighting stance. "You want to play games? Fine. I'll beat the answer out of you myself."We sprinted at each other and traded a couple blows. His attacks were weak but precise. This one was a little stronger, but there was nothing my technique couldn't overcome.He ducked underneath a thunderous right, only to get hit in the same position, by the same right. "Urk. So the rumors are true… Phantomist" he wiped a blood stain off his lip. I was dead silent and emotionless, just stood thinking of the best possible way to—"arggggghhhhhh" Joker shouted from behind, and before I could dodge, landed his loc

The Last Conjura Chapter 22JARED"I knew it. My dogs could smell a traitor from a mile away" Raph clenched his fists. "If only they could smell a bitch too. Who knows, perhaps they would have accidentally mated wit ya" I smiled. "Watch your tongue, before I rip it out for ya"I sensed him getting angrier by the minute. "Still got a dead sense of humor I see. Something's never change, do they?""J… Jared" Ittetsu coughed out some blood and got s couple stains on my coat. "W… what is he—""Quiet" I swung my feet in his direction, and knocked the wind out of his lungs before he could speak. "You should be thanking me for not killing you myself. Tch. You look pitiful.""Somethings never do" Raph talked my attention back to him. This would only take a minute. Walking closer with my hands still in the pockets of my coat, "I don't want to have to kill you to teach you a lesson this time. Stand down, or better yet, surrender, and we'll find a way to sort this mess out already.""Like he

The Last Conjura Chapter 23 KENJI "Derecho is an ancient technique" I started. "It was believed that only the strongest protectors were gifted such power. I mean, for something that shows up once in a blue moon, it had to be bestowed on just about the strongest or most deserving protectors around." "What do you mean 'something'?" he asked, now audibly interested. "Is it as strong as a colossal technique?" "Stronger" I didn't hesitate for a single second. "As a matter of fact, even if you combined a simple, median, and colossal technique, it'd be nothing compared to Derecho." He was quiet. "I'm sure Gabby told you about Asgorath." His eyes lit up. "Derecho would destroy Asgorath" I said, not missing a sing word. "Asgorath was your brother's strongest technique." "His colossal technique." "But even Adachi apparently wasn't deserving of Derecho. You were." "You sound so sure. Why would—" "There are three phases of Derecho. One…" I lifted my index, "...the Dormant phase. The
