It was an odd sight, a gigantic lizard munched on the leaves off a demonic plant, they withered to dust. Rushed feet surrounded him, he smirked; reflecting the puppets off his razor-sharp teeth. "Finally, some company"
He flashed past them, swiping his claws, they dropped into puddles of slime.
"Almost there… just a little more" he mumbled and made a quick killing of the defenseless puddles. Draining of their essence.
Suddenly the ground quaked, he laughed at the sign of danger, as ten more mushrooms sprouted before him.
"It seems I am a threat now, eh?"
"Good" black tentacles crawled the black soil. Draven ignored the tentacles and dashed straight for the mushroom. Unlike before the acid slid down his coarse skin, without a scratch or a blister.
The tentacles transformed into a wall. Draven smirked, fired a jet of scaling water, piercing through. He jumped in and breathed fire and burnt the tentacles.
Out of the blue, a
The moment the ground crumbled, a flock of eagles in a v formation, past the site.Roger raised a wing, his subordinates stopped behind him, flapping their wings in the air.Draven teleported out of the ground, as the surface collapsed, he teleported to a tree far from the land sink. Roger rocketed through the air and appeared in front of a sea-green Salamander, awkwardly sitting on the branch of a tree.A wing over his chest, Roger said "Hello, I am Roger of the captain of the 18th platoon of Sir Sunhaze"Draven said "Oh!"Roger said with a pleasant smile of his beak "What's your name, brother?"Humoured by the odd smile, Draven stifled into laughter."What's wrong?"He suppressed his chuckle, said "Oh, nothing… My name is Dra… I mean Kai"He stood on the branch, Roger said "Kai, can you tell me what happened?"Draven said "Just eating a few demonic scums""Eating?"Draven nodded. "Yup
The creature panted, twitching on the ground, lustrous sea-green scales were charred beyond recognition.A fire-striped tiger stood over him on his hind legs, said "It seems I have actually put more strength on my attacks than usual. But you still have a long way to go!"Draven grunted."Let me help you!" Khan said, he took a deep breath and puffed out a fire.His eyes flinched, enclosing in pain. 'Shit! I am going to die! Shit!'Suddenly, a soothing energy caressed his wounds, reversing the burns, turning them lustrous as before. He softly moaned, the fire moved inside his body and urging his cells to heal his internal organs and tissues.When the sensation stopped, Draven growled "Hey, why did you stop?"Khan chuckled "You are already healed!" pinching his whiskers."What?" Draven twisted his back and examined his body, he gasped. "How? But how?""Come let's go back" Khan said, sauntering back on his four paws.
Claire took a glance at his awed expression; she smirked "Mr. Kai, do you agree to accept your rewards?"Noticing the two beast women behind the literal sac of gold, his face scrunched in thought 'What should I do with them?''Maybe, I can add them to my arsenal of beast pets… but their main purpose is to bear babies so they might not be strong''Or I can sell them?'Draven took another glance at the slim, white and grey furred fox women. 'They look cute'One of the fox women turned her flustered head to the side. 'Does he like me?'Roger nudged him with a double meaning grin. "Kai, Kai… what do you think? Are they pretty?"Draven said "Do I have to accept them too?" Pointing at the beast women.Claire blinked her eyes "That depends?"Roger whispered "I know they aren't that beautiful and are thin but are you serious? They are still good"Intrigued, Draven whispered "What is your definition of beauty
While smoking on his pipe, Draven pondered.'It seems, beasts that look human or have facial features before they turn into a level 2 Yokai are discriminated""Looks like beasts and humans are very similar in a way"Draven took a glance at the ceiling “I wonder how strong are they… if they come from an ex-Yokai tribe then he must have some strange abilities"Taking in another puff of smoke. “Mm, I forgot to ask about their weapon?""I can always ask them some other time"He stretched his back like cat and moaned. “Man, it is so boring without that old man!""More than him, I miss the system… I could have bought so many useful abilities with the exp I have gained so far. Looks like I have to wait"He tapped his claws on the armrest, "It seems weird to do things in a body of a beast. But it isn't too hard"Unconsciously, he licked his own arm. "Why do I feel like I am missing something&helli
As the morning dew blessed the lands, Draven trudged the marshy ground and hopped over a hollow log, Tasha and Tanya followed behind.*Cawh* *Screech*Draven cocked his head to the sky, he shot a breath of fire, it morphed into a waving hand.As a golden feathered eagle screeched him one last goodbye and flew back.Tasha took another look at his back, as a tail swayed to his gait, she thought 'It seems our new master is influential. I wonder whether it is a good thing?'Soon, they were within the other area of their camp. Draven called a drone eye with his mind. It flew out of the tent and went straight to their hiding spot, and landed on his paw. Tasha gasped "Mister, what is that?""My eye""Your eye?" She and Tanya batted their naive eyes. A chuckle escaped his lips.Tanya scratched his thick tail. “Mister, isn't this a human settlement? What are we doing here?""Oh, jus
While they both strolled, Becky said "So, why did you turn yourself into a beast?" "It is just like I said" "Oh, but Zeno said you went to fight the demonic puppets" Scratching his scaly head, Draven stated "That was my first intention" "But that doesn't explain how you switched bodies with your pet?" Draven gave her a thoughtful look, wondering whether it would be a good idea to reveal his secret. "I learnt a new ability" She exclaimed "What? another one? Three superpowers!" and hugged him. “That’s awesome” Internally, Draven snickered 'Three? I have more than that’ "My boyfriend is a genius!" Draven humbly coughed. Gazing to the trees above, Draven said "Yeah… but we aren't exactly boyfriend and girlfriend" Becky grinned "Come on babe, we already did the act" Clutching his sleeves, she cried in amusement “Don't tell me you're going to toss me…" Draven pecked her cheek "I hope th
While riding through the forest, he apprised himself behind his pocket mirror. As Sax towed a dead beast, drawing trails on the forest floor. In thought, he said "Sax, do you think I am charming?" "Master, I think you look good" "Good? Hmm, it's not enough…" he took another glance, combing his copper hair. The rhino snorted his nostrils. He said "Is that the reason why I am still single?" "Master, how will I know?" He said, galloping into a camp. "There must be a reason why?" Zeno turned his gaze away from the mirror, rubbing his chin. Sax froze, jerking Zeno off his back. Transfixed by the two women, their tails swayed, carrying jars of water around their hips. Zeno's shouts bounced off his ears, he licked his dry lips. Zeno shouted, kicking his head "What's wrong with ya?" He followed his sight and gasped "Beast women" His beast literally crawled under his master's nose and approached the fox w
While Abby was preparing tea in the kitchen.On the dining table, sitting across from her, Draven whispered "Are you sure you want to do this?""Duh!' Becky said, showing her stan"Do you really want to stay?”She said "How many times do I have to tell you? I want to know everything about you, besides we still five more days of "She giggled, and spelled out a hidden message. "F.u.n"Comprehending her special meaning, he grinned. "You're the worst"She smugly rested a smile on a knuckle "Hehe, I think you mean the best"Abby entered with a tray of tea and snacks. "Sorry, for keeping you two waiting" with an awkward chuckle, she said "My sponge cake needed a bit more time"Abby cut a piece and plated them with whip cream.Taking a bite, Becky commented "It’s good you kept in for a few minutes more, otherwise it wouldn't have turn out to be so lovely"Abby flicked her hand down at her compli
"Those bastards" swiftly he paced himself forward, fluttering his lab coat with a fierce air. The operators paused their work and made way for him while the supervisor and the captain argued. Luis stood before them with a stern face. "Ahem" He turned to Luis with a wry smile, said. "Ah, Professor" "What are you two doing? Get back to your duties. I will handle this," Luis said, and stepped in front of the controls. "Yes." The supervisor pecked his head like a hen as he retreated. "Capt. Davis, activate the defence mechanism, A-103 and code P456" "Yes, Sir" Capt. Davis said. He pulled a slide from control panel and twisted it before he punched it in. A teal light beamed around the borders. "Defence activated" While on the outside, a transparent membrane shot from thefrontof ship and converged to the end, pushing the nearby rocks away. Luis hands typed codes on screen and slammed
On a funnel of space and light creates a wondrous image, as millions and millions of extra-terrestrial bodies compete, pushing themselves past the obscurity of the distance and the darkness of the space. In a void, a silver blimp flashed through the cluster of rocks. Cannons on the sides rotated and fired. Thousands of rays converged and struck the ginormous space rock. It exploded into thousands of fragments.The ship heaved itself through the cloud of dust, particles ticketed against the surface, drumming on the screen of glass. He tilted his head back, dishevelling his golden hair against the glass as his body spasmed into a chuckle. "Hehe, that was a good one. " A finger flicked the photo across the holographic screen to the next one. Pride refracted in his jay-blues while he appraised the moment. He hummed in remembrance. A crystal cup lifted above his head, sparking brilliance between him and his team, while a girl kissed his cheek under the rain of confetti.A p
Draven honestly said. “I do want to enter one of the Big Five but I am not sure on which one”“Then I can help you” Luis cleared his throat and tossed a cube in Draven’s direction. The cube rolled and morphed into a comfy couch. He signalled for him to take a seat. Draven silently settled himself on the couch and listened.“Each of the Big five have their own speciality, like Luturian Alchemy Academy, which focuses on Alchemy. Sure, there are many alchemy-based universities, but what they lack is the quality of professors, lectures, or the ability to gain resources. Which will be used to nurture their seedlings and naturally bring them fame and reputation across the universe”“Entrium University is known as the number one on white paper because they normally recruit the children of the elite and have the backing of many high-net-worth individuals and families”“So, it is a playground of snotty br
Reading the announcement, the viewers blinked and suddenly bursted into cheers, holographic fireworks exploded in the air.Alight appearedinthe dugout, Osbornestood before them with a weak smile. "I did it!"His teammatesturned aroundand pounced,hisheadwent ditsyand Osborne fell on the bench. Dowsing their mood with a bucket of cold water. Coach said. "Guys, give him some space, he is just beat""But sir??"Coach assured them with a smile. "Don't worry, he is okay. He just needs time to recover by the time we have to go and claim the cup!""YAAYY!"Chad tugged his jacket, said "Sir, aren't you forgetting the group picture?""Oh, yeah..." Coach said, stumped by his situation, he pondered and said. "Maybe, Draven will be fine!""Yes, come one let go see Draven!!" Chad shouted, and like a mob the students pushed Coach along with them.
Draven asked."Anyway, do you guys know who won the match?""Nope, we rushed here as soon you got teleported out! I was worried something happened to you again!" Becky said."What do you mean again?" Amelia asked, clueless about the previous events since Abby didn't inform them of his situation."Its nothing" Becky shook her head."So, the match is going on?"Amelia said. "I think, before I left, Osborne was fighting that McFerreen guy."Rushed footsteps echoed within the halls. Draven shifted his gaze to the door. Arkon entered with a howl. "Hello, son!" while his family followed behind with big smiles. "Oh, my baby," a woman in an elaborate dress exclaimed and moved past her children all the way to his bed."Hi, Dad. Mom?
Next second later,light flashed,couple of bodies fell onto the bed. Emergency lights flicked around the room. Draven blinked, staring at the ceiling with one thought. "Did I win? Or did I lose?" He shifted his head to the side, the door swung open, as a team of nurses and doctors approached the beds. Draven was about to speak, a nurse said. "Doctor, this patient is in a critical condition." "Hmm" the doctor turned from Draven's bed and headed to the bed in the corner. They huddled around, examining the patient. "Doctor, a weird infection seems to be spreading over from his external wounds. I think he is poisoned." Grim expression, the doctor ran a hand scanner down his body."Bythe metrics
"Just do it," Draven shouted. They hesitated before they clicked forfeit. A light befell and teleported them out."Now let's fight!" Pablo flexed his gamma muscles and his feet launched himself forward with a powerful shock wave, adding cracks to the ice.In a blink of an eyes, he shot from one point with an outstretched fist. Draven dropped to a roll. A leg flew to Draven's face. Fire rocketed his soles to the sky. He swayed his sword and shot beams of energy.Pablo sprung into the air, the rays deflected off his chest and from his eyes; he shot gamma rays.Draven tilted his body away and countered with a freeze ray. Draven thought. 'I need to figure out a way to defeat him without contaminating myself.'Draven asked. "Vernon. Does life force absorption work on radio
Fire swirled around his legs, Draven stepped forward, leavingtrailsof puddles in his path. Pablo slowly picked himself. Draven stood over him, said."Pablo, face it you are finished!""I am finished?"Pablo snickeredwhilehe bendedto pick his axe and said. "How can you say I am finished when I haven't even played my next card?"Draven's eyebrows lifted in alertness, "What?" and stepped back.Poison radiated from his pores, his armour melted down to his legs, glowing a radioactive light.A sudden dread hit his core. Draven stepped back and lifted a hand to his face. Pablo radiated a blinding light. He laughed with head back, "Time for you see my full strength!"Draven ran away and shouted, "Osborne, retreat! Retreat!"&
Reaching the end of the berg, the horses neighed and jumped across the large stretch of water and continued galloping. Their bands beeped as they got closer to the Hellhound's location.Seeing figures far in the distance, Pablo grinned and drew out his axe. The others followed and drew out their weapons."Let's rush to victory!"The horses jumped across and their hooves sank in the snow. Controlling their powers, the horses galloped above the snowy water. Suddenly, ice beams sprung from the ground and struck few of them, triggering the safety system and teleported them out, leaving the rest out of formation.A beam sprung before him, Pablo reined it back, the horse lifted itself to a stop; fluttering his fur cape. Pablo signalled them to spread out, a freezing ray shot straight to him. Pablo jumped off
