His bracelet glowed. Draven took a glance into his system with a frown.

Defeat Level 10 beast
Rewards - none
Draven slouched, swaying his body to the current. 'Well, there goes my chance.'
"Let's go." Alister grinned, lifting his chin higher, while hoping for something more from the witness of his strength. He glanced at Draven and kicked the degenerating behoment.
"Bro, catch it"
"Hmm" Draven lifted his eyebrow. "For you?"
Alister said, "Don't you want it? Catch it quick before it!"
Draven blinked and stored it into his spatial pouch. 'Well, at least he knows what belongs to me.'
Alister dived deeper and stopped at the bottom, a tree with coal branches, its scanty spike like-leaves curled to the motion of the waves. As the orange globes sparkled with a crimson hue, tempting the onlookers to grab a bite.
"We are here. Do you know what this is?"
So if you feel any of my chapter could do better, mark the chapters in the comments with an 'E'
“Alright one more time!” Resting on their bellies, they moaned. “Again” “Master, can we take a break?” “No” his brows raised in sternness, he placed a hand on his hips and shook a bloodied whip in his right. They swallowed their complaints and stood on their legs. Nearby bushes rustled. Draven said “Quickly hide” They groaned and hid in the surroundings. Kai crouched into the tall grass, and Hector darted to the trees and perched himself above the ceiling of leaves. A yellow nose peaked from the bush and wiggled, sniffing the air. Maintaining absolute silence, Draven turned invisible and watched a pair of ivory antlers rise with a moose head. And the moment the beast stepped out, Draven gasped and appraised the beast’s bright atrium coloured fur. By the leading of his snot, the buck of colours stepped forward and soon confidence took hold of its steps and walked to the inciting streak of meat laid on the tree stump.
Wind whistled through, swinging the curtains in the open door. A light flashed; multiple figures appeared in the room. They knelt on the fur carpet; he sauntered to the balcony. Holding onto the ledge, he overlooked the shore and exhaled a deep breath.The sound of the waves crashed into his ears, bringing forth calmness and clarity, as a smile hung below his eyes. He turned around and closed the doors shut and made way to his favourite armchair and crossed his legs over the armrest. “You are excused”“Yes, sir” in sync, his guards rose from the ground and darted back into the shadows, away from his sight, yet always ready for his next command.“Master. Requesting permission to speak”He gave her a subtle nod. “Speak”Receiving his permission, her helmet vanished into light particles, noir locks draped over her face. She shook her hair off her slate-grey eyes. Alister clutched his armrest, said
Draven jumped and swung his blade like a ninja; branches fell to the ground. While collecting the wood, his com chimed a ringtone. With a smile on his face, he picked it up. “Hey, babe”“I am here”He made a 360-turn, taking a glance at his surroundings. “Where?”Becky smiled. “Here”“I can’t see you”“Well, I am a few miles away. Are you up for a game?”“Sure”Becky replied. “If you can’t find me in sixty seconds, then you are cooking”Draven chuckled. “Fine, and if you lose?”“Who said I am losing?” Becky giggled. “So, get going”Draven ended his call and swiped his finger across the holographic screen and rocketed into the air, spinning like a top as he got higher, his hands elongated. Blue feathers sprouted on his arms and morphed into huge wings. He grinned and glance
“Hector, you can do this”Holding his pet close to him, he said, “Remember what I taught you!”“Yes, master.” Hector nodded. “I won’t hesitate to kill”“Good, but this is a spar. So, don’t”He blinked and nodded. “Yes, master”“Now, who is the king of the sky?” Draven said.Hector said. “Sir. Prime Feathers”Draven smacked his head. “No, idiot! I mean you”“Oh?” he said, while Draven rubbed his forehead.Becky tilted his head to the side and waved her hand in the air. “Hey! Are you guys ready?”Draven smiled back and shifted his attention to Hector.&ldq
Kai whipped his tail. She jumped back. Before she could strum her next string, he spat fire. She rolled on the ground and ducked to a stone. Kai spat water on the blazing stone. It cracked into pieces. She ran out and strung the string. A note shot through. A fire shield appeared in front of his scaly face. He swiped his front claw, sending a set of crossed fire swipes.Her tails converged on her whole body. She shrunk into a ball and avoided the blow. Kai’s eyes gleamed, he rushed and swung his claws down; she rolled out of his attack and popped behind a tree.“AHHH!! Stop running!” Kai growled. He stamped his paw. Fire sprouted off the ground, blowing her off her balance, throwing her weapon away. Kai grinned and dashed to block her path.Draven commented. “Good play!” Kai inflamed his body and spat fire around them, strengthened himself in the heat. Tasha pan
His footsteps echoed against the tiled corridor as he sauntered with a swag, slinging a bag over his shoulder. He paused his steps and turned to the clusters of posters stuck on the walls. His expression became perplexed, as he ripped one to his eyes. He smashed it into a ball and tossed it behind. ‘What an idiot! He even advertised himself!’ he thought, and walked to his locker undetected, while the students chatted. Suddenly they shouted “Hey, it's Osborne” and rushed to meet him. As he strolled through the corridor with an annoying smirk and his posy, which seemed bigger than last time. Draven scrunched his eyes and noticed each one of them was sporting a letter jacket in the school colours. Draven clicked his tongue, said to himself “Like as if he is a big deal” Students greeted him with a high five. Draven’s ears pricked at their conversation. “Hey, Osborne, are you going to win agai
Leaning his head on his palm, supporting it against the window frame, as he looked at the scenery outside, as the hover vehicle descended to a stop.“Warning: Entering private property.” the A.I said, flashing letters on the screen.“Civilians prohibited, please show the identity and status.”He sighed and flashed his com against the scanner.After processing the information, the A.I driver said. “Apologies Mr. Castel, but your current identity doesn’t have enough clearance to move further”Draven grunted. “Fine, I will get off here then”“Okay. It will be 158 credits sir”The corners of his mouth twitched with complaints but soon sighed and swiped his com against the scanner and pai
With servants by his side, he brisked up the stairs. A white limousine descended onto the pad fixed to the roof. Alister stood with a pleasant smile while a middle-aged man stepped down, carrying a briefcase on his right. The guards bowed to their master, Alister lowered his back, a pair of Italian leather walked to his sight. Alister smiled and straightened his back.“Hello, father”“Hello son” thick brows settled on his wide forehead, lined with years of stress as the head of the Leroux family. “How is Natalia?”Under the guise of a sweet smile, Alister gritted his teeth. ‘Why? She is just a brat? A thief!’Alister said “Oh, Natalia… she is fine”His father asked, “Hmm, where is she?” he glanced around, hoping to find
"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
