The Making of a Living Legend Chapter 34: Stolen Moves
Max stood still with red eyes that darted from right to left as if searching for an escape but he knew that he was damned.“That should teach you not to mess around again, an arcaner should stay at Arcane Hall or branch, don’t try to gloat about some useless moves here.” Caden said but he didn’t bother to keep his words quiet and since there was silence in the hall everyone heard his words.The soldiers who had been glaring at Max couldn’t look more pleased than they looked at that moment, the dam of conversation had already burst among the audience and the murmurs had taken an abrupt rotation and turned on Max.“I told you that it is Max Wilder that copied Caden’s moves, do you believe me now?”“Yes, what were we thinking? Wilder isn't on any level of Blackwell when it comes to swinging sabers and swords.”“Even if it was Caden that stole Max's move, what bad was it anymore? He should be glad that someone was able to advance his moves to that level.”“If the original can be beaten by

“I didn’t want to bother you before you have attended the competition but now that you have qualified as one of the top fours, tell me what the opportunities you would enjoy at the examination are,” Elaris asked Caden later that day.“When I went to take the exams, I noticed that those who were among the top four who passed the competition were given the front seat when it was time for the pep talk before the exam, they were given the opportunity to go first at whatever everyone was doing, this remove the chance that someone would have shown a movement that would overshadow them or the soldiers in charged would have gotten so tired and bored by the time it was them to fight.It would also look good on the profile whenever a person was sent to another base, think of it like a badge but the best part of it is the outstanding badge which only belonged to soldiers who performed exceptionally well in the ring, I am sure that the badge would be given to Ueaz,” Caden looked away. “I wasn’t c
The Making of a Living Legend Chapter 36: A Normal Inn
“How far are we from Embrayl? I am so tired!” Ashton grumbled and Elaris tossed him a glare, before he turned forward and focused his direction on the narrow road ahead.“You are saying that as if it wasn’t you who kept chatting with Caden and talking about how much you didn’t want to leave,” Elaris replied and Ashton groaned.“But it is two different things, even if we set out of Astrad early, I would have still been tired at one point in our journey, it is not about the time.”“And why do you think that we are trudging along instead of letting the horses go at full speed?”“You are inhumane, we should get down from the horse and find a place to rest perfectly, all of these would have been avoided if you have told Lord Rades to send a carriage or if we had went with them that day,”“I didn’t remember forcing you along on this journey, you are the one that insisted,”“As a perfect gentleman, how could I have let you along on your own, it is dangerous,”“Be less narcissistic and I woul
The Making of a Living Legend Chapter 37: Of Course, We Didn't.
“A ghost had been haunting the inn and that’s why we made the outside look like that. The ghost only haunts beautiful ladies and children, anyone who approached the inn if they had no ability at all would not bother to enter because of how creepy it looked on the outside.” The inn-keeper explained and he kept staring back and forth between Elaris and Ashton, his hand was wringing nervously as he kept readjusting himself on his seat.“That is bad business for you,” Ashton stated.“A bad business is better than a dead body, when a ghost hunts you and either kills people at your place or makes them disappear, any alternative would be accepted.”“Nothing like ghosts exist and if they did, I am sure that they don’t operate the way he operated,” Elaris mumbled, directing all their attention to the dead body that lay some feet away from them, right in front of where the innkeeper had been earlier. There was a deep gash and gaping hole of his forehead that Elaris’ sword had slashed through an
The Making of a Living Legend Chapter 38: No Entry
“Why were you moving around and trying to get the footprint inside your inn when we arrived? You should have done your assignment and be faster,” Elaris added and the man glared at him.“So what was all that for?” The innkeeper glared and Elaris snorted in amusement.“Since you were acting, there was no way we wouldn’t have played along.” He replied and Ashton nodded.“Tell you a secret, I live for acting, it is in my soul.” He lowered his fan and gave the man his eyes-squinting smile which elicited a glare from the innkeeper.“How would anyone have entered your inn without shoes and you wouldn’t have remembered them because of how odd they were in particular yet you kept your mouth shut when we were talking about it, which means that you were either the one who did it or you were an accomplice,” Elaris said, pointing to the man.“I find it funnier because you turned off the light by yourself, the screeching was a medal against that ground and the two minute bell was yours, everything
The Making of a Living Legend Chapter 39: The Industrial City
“I don't know if it is because I haven't left Astrad for a long time but it seems to me that Embrayl is different,” Ashton said, folding his arms as they walked among the people going about in the street. “Normally, I wouldn't bump into people so much.”Elaris stared at the bustling city which was vastly different from Astrad’s spacey roads and couldn't help but agree silently, it was too hectic and tiring to just walk around.The endless rows of tightly connected houses with varying cream, brown and pale yellow were starting to look the same to him, it would be a mess to recognize a friend's house at this rate which makes him wonder how on earth he was supposed to know Oliver's place.Barging into things like this never makes any sense but he must have been overexcited.“Well, if it is not the popular meat skewers,” Ashton chuckled before he hurried over to the stall. Elaris had no choice but to follow him, both of them could continue to wander around like this till he gets a plan. “
The Making of a Living Legend Chapter 40: Meeting A Friend
It seemed that both Elaris and Ashton had the same thought because it was long before they both landed the end blow at the same time and the three fell to the floor limply, hitting their body and face hard.The tough font both of them thought they had was nothing more than a show because they got tired and lost focus in the fight easily which made it hard for them to land a blow or kick perfectly but gave both Elaris and Ashton openings to deal with them.They also didn't happen to have any sort of weapons or protection on them, maybe they were like that because they targeted weak women and children.Elaris glanced at the girl who was standing at the side and staring at them in admiration before he started making his way away from the alley, not bothering to say anything to her.Ashton hurried over to the girl and told her to follow them which the girl immediately nodded and hurried after them.“They were able to lie like that because they know that my parents have debts piled up and

“It would be okay if you go to the nearest bank, I am sure that you would be attended to properly, I have given your name and information,” Ashton told the creditor who continued to stare at them as if they were angels from heaven while Oliver and the girl were standing to the side in shock.“Don't even think of collecting more than was required, I would get to the end of the world and kill you,” Oliver quickly spoke up as the man was walking away.The creditor glanced back at him once and at Elaris before he hurried out of the place.“What is the total amount of money you owe?” Elaris asked and Ashton turned to raise a brow at him.Was the man ready to pay off the debt of someone else no matter how much it was?“T-that was the last person I owed, I have sorted out the rest by myself,” Oliver replied and Elaris nodded.To be honest, to both Ashton and Elaris, the money that Oliver owed–twenty gold coins– wasn't a large amount that would shake up the heavens but there's considering the

Chapter 68: Brave Cowardice
Rule #10; Never trust your teammate or your partners in the desert of Faded Mountain. Not because of their cruelty but because of the desert’s credibility.The group had remained around each other in order to be able to defeat the beasts, it was easy for one person to distract them while the other attacked from behind, they were creatures with no brain so they had no idea that it would be better for them to help one another.The controller must be feeling so frustrated.Elaris glanced around the group as he got behind another outlander and stabbed it deep in the back, he peeped from behind it and observed the group.Yute was helping Hete out of danger while the rude guy stabbed the outlander who tried to get him, the leader was acting as a decoy while the gentle one stabbed another titan from behind.Elaris smirked, the controller was really angry at his pets.He got away from behind the outlander as it fell to the ground, he removed his sword from where it was lodged on its back and
Chapter 67: Outlanders
Rule #7; Before entering the desert of Faded Mountain, visit those who came back and ask them about their experiences, it is very important that you know everything and anything you could know about the desert.Outlanders.Creatures that tumble on the fine line between human and beasts, their body is that of a woman and a beast combined. Their limbs were that of animals, giving them sturdy movement while their head and the upper body was that of a human, giving them the flexibility they had.Outlanders were creatures that gave off extreme fear just by seeing them alone, they were abnormal to humanity, what made the matter worse was that they didn’t have any brains but they had emotions. They could laugh as they were killed and cry when they were killed.Some of these outlanders were kids but because of the way they were, their growth was abnormal and they could stand tall to the level of an adult woman while their faces still carry on the smallness and innocence of kids.Their hands a
Chapter 66: Rules of Desert of Faded Mountain
Elaris stared at the desert in front of him and exhaled heavily, the land spread wide ahead and there was no trace of any other thing than the desert that he was seeing.At one glance, the place didn’t look dangerous but Elaris had heard about the story of the place from his father, it was a very unpredictable place where people could die without knowing what killed them. It wasn’t the sort of place that he could just bring either Ashton or Caden to.He was a dead man anyway, but the others were great assets to the empire and they would bring about many great changes. He could die with a little bit of peace knowing that they were out there somewhere and didn’t like the bad things that the Visterian king was up to.He started walking forward, taking one step after the other without catching the sight of anyone. He was all alone here and that was what made him even more vigilant because he had to watch out everywhere.He hadn’t even gotten halfway and was walking beside a cave before he
Chapter 65: Heatstroke & Discussion
Both Caden and Estrina glanced at each other nervously, before nodding at the same time as if they were giving each other the resolution that was needed.“Since I am going to benefit from whatever is done today, I am not going to let fear be the reason why it is impossible,” Caden said, and Estrina nodded in agreement.“Since we are on the same page, you can start now. Just do it just like you were told, don’t think, block out every sound and let it all come to you effortlessly.” Elaris instructed as the both of them closed their eyes and put to good use, the explanation that was provided to them earlier.“What do you plan to do in this city? Something tells me that you are not here only for Caden’s first channeling,” Ashton said but Elaris didn’t say anything, he only focused harder on the two people in front of him.Ashton only sighed when he figured that Elaris wasn’t going to say anything.“Alright, I would trust you to tell me before you start though, I don’t want to get into tro
Chapter 64: Forms
Every one of them assumed a fighting stance as they readied for the attack of the wild animals, their eyes glinting dangerously as they prepared to kill them.Oliver had already taken out his rope, Rex had his sword out, all the ones with the military had their sabers out while Ashton stood vigilantly with no weapon in his hand while Elaris rested his hand on his sword.But to all their surprise, once the animals saw their pose, they retreated back behind the housekeeper and stared at them.“What is with the hostile reaction? This is your surprise!” The man had the nerve to look like he had been deeply betrayed by them.“Surprise? How about I slice your head off your neck as a surprise for your surprise,” Azacia asked angrily, she was already marching forward to the man who was stepping with the animals and Estrina quickly wrapped her hands around Azacia’s arm to stop her.“I don’t mean any harm! This is a nice kind of surprise in Nethrowl! The animals aren’t going to do anything to y
Chapter 63: Morales & Surprise
Ueaz glared at him as if Caden just said something to offend him while Estrina also frowned but Azacia hurried to defend them all. “It is not stealing if you return it once you are done.”“Besides, if they didn’t want us to steal it, then they wouldn’t have placed it in the middle of the yard and say that anyone is free to steal it.” Ueaz shrugged and both Estrina and Azacia nodded.“That doesn’t automatically give you a pass to rob them, you don’t see anyone stealing Astrad city treasure,” Caden argued.“That is hard to decide since Astrad doesn’t have any treasure of any sort, even money is hard to find in that city,” Oliver replied and Caden glared at him.“That is beside the point.” Caden said.“No, that is the main point.” Rex agreed.“Let us just go and find a place to stay for the time we are here,” Elaris said, bringing their attention away from what they were discussing, he needed to find a good place to help Caden do his first channeling so that he would be in time for the s
Chapter 62: The Violent Harsh City
Nethrowl City; the third city on the pyramid in the empire.It was a city that shared a border with almost every city in the empire, a very dry, rocky, harsh city with harsher dwellers. The places in the city that weren’t often visited or lived in by the Neths were spiked with thorny bushes and their houses were mostly wood because any other form would cause too much heat in the harsh city and those houses were painted in mostly brown and grey.The whole city is surrounded by the scent of heavy metal and everything about it was hostile; it was strictly advised never to bring an adult who couldn’t watch after himself, talk less of a child. The city was recorded to be the dwelling place of great generals and many warriors when the Slave War broke out centuries ago, it was chosen because the open desert space was close to every major city which allowed the soldiers to enter any city quickly once help was requested.Centuries later, only people whose upbringing was similar to the harsh cl
Chapter 61: Prideful Soldiers and Mindful Warriors
Elaris studied the man and nodded in agreement when he saw that he had no killing intent on him, he was staring at them with renewed admiration and gratitude.“If you are okay with that, then yes.” He said.The man waved at him. “Nonsense, I am note that okay with it,what kind of person would I be if I allowed you to wander at night when you saved my daughter's life?”“And whose fault is it that we might go out so late?” Rex said grumpily.“uh, I apologize for that, I apologize,” he said. “If you would follow me.”He started leading them out.“How far is your place from the city center?” Ashton asked.“Not too far, but no worries, I would send word out there that no one should block your ways.”“We are perfectly capable of protecting ourselves,” Rex frowned.“We are still getting the ashcrawler money right?” Oliver asked as he adjusted Caden who had fallen asleep again.“Of course, I would make sure that it would be sold at the best price, first thing tomorrow morning,” He answered.“
Chapter 60: Poisoned!
“The poison backfired on the girl, didn't it?” Elaris asked suddenly and the man’s weapon stopped a few inches from Caden's neck.His eyes widened in shock before he whirled over to turn to Elaris, the others exhaled in relief, they were also shocked that he went for Caden instead of any of them but when they thought about it again, it wasn't surprising.“No fair! Trying to hurt the only lady among us.” Oliver scolded as he moved closer to Caden to check his condition.The man’s attention was on Elaris who met his gaze confidently.“H-how did you know about that?” He stuttered and Elaris stared at him from head to toe once again before he shrugged.There was a faint scent of blood and poison on the man, but the splashes on his clothes were bright red that might have been gotten on his during the hunt for a killing but very dark red that a poisoned person coughed out.His sudden request for money also solidified his suspicion, of course, they were bandits who tried to take something fr
