While they were sneaking closer, Becky rolled her eyes at Zeno's clumsy footwork. Internally, she compared him to Draven
'Hmph. What an idiot? Is he even trying? Why can't he be like Draven and walk carefully? From my reports, Draven is only skilled in fire. But also shows promise in skirmish fights, tactics and combat power'
'Now I see why Master asked me to look after him. Master always has an eye for talent!' she thought, developing a better impression of Draven.
Due to Zeno following the training regimen of his clan, he developed a robust and heavy body which is incapable to fight light and fast as it focuses solely on giving the practitioner high defence and strong offense.
The only reason Draven was able to keep up with a seasoned assassin was due to the system, Vernon proposed him to buy a new skill called wind steps.

Thirty minutes ago, "Let's take a break" said a man, wearing a pale violet robe, with the letter 'r' on his right breast. He suddenly flashed to the tree top and materialized a mini box on the branch and walked through the tiny entrance. A group of men dropped their bags and equipment, resting their backs against the tree trunks. One of the men, wiped the sweat on his nape, said "Jeff! what's taking you so long? We should have already found the egg by now!" A teen boy wearing dark pants and sunglasses, busy typing on his floating tablet. Wave of his hand, a machine and a bunch of parts and tools hovered in the air, fixing it self, as he multitasked while trying to locate the phoenix egg with a frown. Jeff replied "Hilson, it isn't as easy as you put it to be. If I was to locate it in the city, it would be pretty easy! But here in the wild, teaming with beasts it is much harder to locate it!" The dumbest muscle head of the group, Gus said "Are
The timer ticked off, seconds past through the scope. Creeping behind the outer sentry, she unsheathed her daggers and took cover in the foliage. Once the guard walked closer, like ghost she came and disappeared, leaving behind a corpse in her path. And then soon killed the last guard, she went around the perimeter. Through the walkie talkie, she said "Took care of the back, Mr. D!" "Good job!" Draven replied. She jumped up the tree and leaped into another tree with ninja feet. Once close to her targets, the com buzzed on her forearm. 'Ten seconds already! Hmm... more training!' She pulled the blasters from her thighs, jabbed the safety off and fired a couple of shots. Heads exploded, splattering blood on a nearby woman, she screamed "AAAHH! "Enemy attack!" "Fire!!" They armed themselves, searching for the shooter. She fired a shot and kill another, this time gaining their attention. Blowing her gun, she grinned 'Hehe. Bingo th
Time ticked through the screen and the com beeped. A hand, switched off the timer and sprinted through the wildlife, before kneeling near his hiding place. Seeing the men, scanning the ground with long sticks. Zeno expression turned grave. 'I thought Becky and Draven drove them away! Shouldn't my job be the easiest?' he sighed, kicking the dirt. Alerting one of the men, he loudly whispered "Hey, Rob! Did you hear anything? I think someone is behind this tree?" Glancing at Zeno's tree, solemnly he nodded in agreement and quietly treaded closer to where Zeno was. Zeno said to himself "Screw this shit! How can I call myself a member of the Brazantun family if I am scared of getting caught?" His body shinned as bright like the sun and jumped out with a loud battle cry. "AAAHH!!" His heavy, ton like body, clashed on the cleared ground, sending tides of dust across the enemy's camp. Unflustered, they dropped their detectors and unstrapped th
While Draven was busy with the impenetrable clunk of metal, Becky on the other hand, successfully diverted their attention. She was skirted through the landscape from her pursuers with a cunning smile, she leaped into the sky and threw bombs and with a bang, the ATV overturned and exploded into bits. Drawing her gun, she shot down the survivors and jumped to a higher ground, she unloaded gun parts on the branch. With quirky hands of a trained militant, she assembled them into a futuristic version of a machine gun. She loaded the strip of cartilages and clicked the gun twice, to check if the safety is secure and crouched underneath. Her hands itched to pull the trigger as she saw the incoming enemies, taking a deep breath, her visage sharpened. And like a sharp-edged blade, she fired. Plasma rays fell on them and like a hot knife, it went through the metal and killed the driver and the passengers. With a grunt, she turned the nozzle to the other vehicl
Draven teleported closer to Becky's location, he stepped out of the tree and ran behind her, as she tried to lose her tails above. Becky noticed his presence, said "I was wondering when you were going to show up?" "I was caught up with something... " he said not mentioning his encounter with Twin wings. Becky gave him a mysterious smile, said "I hope you haven't met another woman while I was away?" Draven croaked 'How does she know?' He avoided her probing eyes 'Maybe, she is just pulling my leg?' He lied with a straight face "No, I didn't!" "Oh" she gave him a last look and changed the topic. "Do you have anything good with ya?" Grave expression, Draven clicked his tongue "Not much, other than one bazooka cartridge" In contemplation, she said "It will do! Just buy me some time!" "Sure" Draven replied, pulled out a T78 plasma rifle from his backpack and like a tank he planted his feet to the ground and fir
While she was out on a rampage,Beneath the ground, Draven was alive, barely hanging by a thread. Lower limbs blown to bits, with blue glints, with charred red skin; covered in burns from head to toes, without an once of hair.A rotting smell speard though his premature grave. His fingers quivered; desperately hugged the spatial pouch, tight to his chest.A green figure walked back and forth in his mind space, he muttered "Why? Why did you do this?""How can you be so reckless? This is your damn body!" He said, staring down at his lifeless host.Endless pain in his lungs, coughed his eyes open. "Aah! Oh! Ah!" He struggled to raise his dismembered body.Vernon shouted "Don't move, Idiot! Your body is down to ten percent!"Draven said inbetween his cough. "Why didn't you do anything?"Vernon said "I can't! I am bound to my host's will. I can't do anything without your permission"His charred face darkened to a deeper
Becky pressed a nub on her knuckle and her body camouflaged to the surroundings. She strolled into the enemy camp with light steps. And with a smirk, she passed the dimwits armed with rifles in their palms, vigilantly patrolling the area. She flipped her bag to her chest, rummaged out a black box, codes flashed through her eyes and the box swished open. A blue overglow lighted her face, as tiny, mechanical flies flew into her palm. She whispered a command and blew them to the air. Following her command, they buzzed and attached themselves to the enemies’ clothes. She whispered "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six... three, two, one!” *Boom* One by one, the flies puffed red and exploded, incinerating them to hell. The smoke cleared, with piles of ashes on the ground they stood. She chuckled, as her feet kicked their ashes with a forward strut. *Thud* A muscular laned before her, within the dust cloud his eyes gleamed red, locking on to his tar
Other side,The rhino charged with a glowing tusk, the sabretooth spit ice and spread on the ground. The rhino skedded forward. Ice lengthened his claws; it glistened a dangerous light. The rhino slammed his head down and shattered the ice. His body shimmered gold, an energy ball formed between his tusks and whipped his head forward, tossing the energy attack.The sabretooth jumped to the side, and countered spitting fire. Zeno tongue slithered, giving silent commands to his beast. Trusting his master, the rhino charged straight in the fire, his body glowed, activating the martial arts of the Brazenton family and wacked it's tusks. In the middle of spitting fire, his pupils widened, saw images in his tiny head, he froze. The man yelled "Dodge!"But fell on tranced ears, his tusks clashed against his jaws, sending his to the trees. He flew and crashed, through the piles of trees.After wating for a while it breathed its last breath, the man's t
"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
