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

“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

“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

Thwack!As slap that resounded through the whole forest like explosive met the cheeks of the woman whose body and face were still hidden under her long black lace gown and covered face, her face was forced to turn to the other side because of the effect of the slap, but she still continued to struggle even as she was shoved into a room that had no doors or windows and four men stationed themselves at the entrance and stare directly at the woman whose hand remained tied tightly behind her back and legs firmly put together, with the scarf of her dress covering her eyes, her vision was cut off from the rest of the world.“Goodness, you are really something; do you think that we wouldn’t catch you even if you escaped back to your city lord, Princess? What happened to those wanderers you met at the forest, went back to their cities, didn’t they?” The man who remained squatting in front of the woman taunted, but the woman in front of him only looked the other way and refused to answer him,

They watched as the swirl closed on them and tried to put a barrier or summoning their energies to take a form that would at least weaken the impact of what was coming, but no matter what they did in the direction of the force, it didn’t dissipate and there was no sign that it was being weakened, it still continued to charge towards them in full force.Just as it was about to hit them, a blast of crackling thunder appeared about them and white light shot towards the swirl that was closing in on them and stopped it in place, the men at the other side also increased their capability but another cackling light shot to the one which was already stopping the one there in the first place and the swirl was forced to shatter and burst, which made the men who attacked to stagger back as they stared in shock because they didn’t expected that their force would be stopped just like that.They conjured another one with higher capability but this time, there was simply a slash in the direction of t

Every person could channel energies if they tried, and made it take a form if they tried harder, but what took a lot of concentration and determination was using a skill for the form. Every single form has its own skill and most of the time, these skills overlapped each other or are the same but some skills worked better for some form than another.The skill that these men used further confirmed that they weren’t just low level kidnappers because the skill called Wander was an extremely hard skill to master not to mention that all of them had mastered it and were using it as a group attack.It is a skill that require turning their form into a force that continue to move around until it strikes the opponent it was targeted at, it was one of those skill that it was hard to evade and once it strike the opponent, it caused them to be unconscious if they weak and render them unable to move if they were strong enough but there were some people who would still be able to move eve after they
Chapter 87: The Victim & Her Helpers
Traveling around Nethrowl wasn’t easy, but Ashton made sure to continue to drag Caden, Oliver and Estrina around the whole place. The best place for practice was the forests where there were a lot of beasts like the ashcrawler they dealt with on their way to Nethrowl and beasts who were fiercer and had different attributes than the ashcrawler.Ashton was doing this in order to ensure that they were all trained and get good control over the forms of their energy, it had been over a month since Elaris left without disclosing his destination and he would be damned if he came back and saw that there was no improvement.He got some strange news from his master the last week about strange things that happened in the desert and Faded Mountain, the whole Fragile Souls Establishment were scrambling around to find any information they could get on controllers whose aim for meeting up and controlling a whole horde of outlanders were still unknown.Two of them had been caught and placed in tortur
Chapter 86: Decvil’s Tower
The only land in Nethrowl which was under shade and had protection from harsh weather, a perfect tourist center or vacation place Neths don’t want to go too far from their city, the air was crisp and cool and for a while, he just continued walking without meeting even a single soul. Everything was dead silent even though Elaris was sure that he had entered Decvil.Maps were the easiest thing for him to follow because once upon a time, it was the only thing that he could firmly depend on when taking a journey, his sense of direction is top notch and he had absolute confidence in it.Elaris passed by a small stream and waited as he searched himself for something, he removed the small container that was given to him by Radai and opened it before he took the cure of the disease in his hand, he just stared at it wordlessly for a while reliving the matter that led to the event that made him still have it.Elaris had given it to Areth for consumption and he collected it at first, but then he
Chapter 85: Scattered Informants
The journey down the mountain and out of the desert was easier than when Elaris came in, yes, he had to deal with a few outlanders and he had to wind through a storm of sand but it didn’t take him long to arrive outside the desert and at the edge that led to Nethrowl city.Alone by himself with the necklace that contained the ashes of five brave people who had painstakingly gone on a journey that fulfilled nothing while also claiming their lives, he couldn’t bring himself to breathe in relief to appreciate the scenery or the environment that were much less harsh when compared to the desert. He still had things to do.He walked a bit further from the forest and it wasn’t long before he arrived at a small town which had a scarcity in the number of people walking on the street and looked like a mini version of Nethrowl’s capital as far the atmosphere was concerned, fortunately before he could walk further he saw a shop that he was looking for, he entered the shop that sold all sort of th
Chapter 84: The Last one Off
Elaris, his partner and Radai hurried to the gate with their might, kicking the crazies blocking their way away without lingereing too much, there was no need to fight them anymore because the number advantage was greatly against them, the most they could do was hide when needed and run when concerned. It would be their end if they were caught.Suddenly Radai’s movement slowed down considerably, which made Elaris turn to look at the man, without asking any question he dragged him behind a stone with the other man and the three of them hid there.“What is wrong with you?” Elaris whispered, in order not to get the attention of the crazy people with his voice.“I think the disease is acting up,” Radai replied and the temperamental guy glared at him.“Are you nuts?” He asked. “You gave us the stupid cure, don’t tell me that you haven’t swallowed at least a dozen of it.”“Uh… I think it must have been when he held me earlier, I just realized it now but his hand was sweaty and strange when
Chapter 83: Out of Control
Everybody froze with complicated expressions on their faces, there was no saying if they should advance forward and bash the two men standing with their back against each other or withdraw to their master who was already bleeding from the thin slice on his neck.There was a dead silence as everyone continued to stare at each other, Elaris and his partner continued to advance backward and near the houses, it was easier to find an escape route around their than at the front.“Boo,” Radai said, and Eadai glared hard ahead since he couldn’t turn his head or he would risk detaching his head from the body.“What the hell are you doing?” Eadai asked, his lips trembling as he clenched his hand tightly.“What does it look like, brother? I think it is self explanatory,” Radai replied.Elaris and his partner had walked a considerable distance from them all but then all the soldiers standing at the rare gate also came forward and stopped behind them.“Your time is up, you have pranced around for
Chapter 82: Subduction
It wasn’t the time to show mercy or try to play around with the men, so Elaris and his crew fought their out of the group that surrounded them, cutting them down furiously and not waiting to check if they were dead or not, the major concern was to leave Faded Mountain as soon as possible.“You can survive life without your brother, yes?” Elaris asked and Radai snorted.“How old do you think I am to ask that question? Two?” Radai fired back.“Who knows, you might have been accustomed to him taking care of your needs that you wouldn’t want to leave him, there are all types of twisted reasons and love flying around.” The temperamental guy fired, hitting one man’s neck with his knife before he stabbed another.“I am not that attached to being lazy, besides, it is if I leave that I would be able to use medicines as much as I would like to.”“You could have fooled me,” Elaris replied as he slashed two men who rushed over to him.There was no need for any accursed mercy right now, they would
