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

    “This family had no relationship with him, in fact, I am hundred percent sure that they have never met before,” Lan heard as the woman appeared beside her and they continued to walk away from the house.“I thought as much,” Lan replied dully.“Do you plan to continue to investigate him?”Lan furrowed his brows and scratched the skin in the middle of his brows. “I simply find him intriguing. He was a nobody one day and all of a sudden, he had to turn to something of interest, what makes me want to find more about it is how he makes it open while keeping secrets.”“He borrowed some money from Young Lord Ashton, I wonder if he wanted to start freeloading off him.”“He invested in a trader who was at the edge of quitting, he bought everything he was selling because the trader insisted that he can't continue to sell because he would go bankrupt. After the trade was done, he put the man in charge of it and within a week of this investment, the rate of the goods picked up because of scarcity

    Both Tarex and Lan stared at the sword that was coming straight at them with wide eyes, of course they had nothing to defend themselves with and both sides were perfectly aware of that. It wasn't a secret that Astrad was a No-Energy City and those born in the city and its direct descendants usually didn't have any man inside them no matter if they were in their city or in another city.Going to Villeria which was filled to the brim with mana wouldn't even help their case.Both brothers knew that they definitely wouldn't kneel down to the guy but they didn't understand why Ashton had to go ahead and provoke him.The sword was just about to reach them when another sword intercepted it and changed its course of direction, making it hit the floor and leaving a deep gash in the earth.Tarex stared at the gash in horror, wondering if that was the same effect it would have on them, he turned to look at Ashton who was smiling in a super annoying way before his gaze landed on Elaris who was st

    It seemed almost impossible…no, it was quite impossible.“No matter what truck he was supposed to be up to, there was no way he would be able to beat down twelve men who would be channeling their mana into their swords and using it to fight him.”“Even if he was capable, he couldn't possibly be that capable,”“What capability? From what I have seen, he is one of the young masters playing hero, he probably has never set foot outside of Astrad.”“Then, I like it like that. When they are done with him, it would teach him never to breach his space.”Ashton could hear the murmur and so could Elaris but while Ashton pressed his lips thinly because of the thin despair he felt over the situation, the subject of the matter remained standing in a position that showed that he was truly relaxed.Lan and Tarex knew that he was up to something but they couldn't point on it exactly, after all, he could be walking through fire and he wouldn't be freaked, the biggest mistake they wouldn't ever date ag

    Elaris was finally able to match the man's movement and struck his sword against the man's own.Clang!The sound resonated through the hall.Elaris had to admit that his new body wasn't anything like the old one because he could feel the way the strength in his arms was greatly tested but he didn't grunt.“I didn't do anything bad to you, you should be able to use it in a few hours,” Elaris shrugged as he pushed the man blade away in time to dodge another one coming for him from behind.He gripped the new attacker’s arm, kicked him in the knees and flipped him over to land in the floor heavily in time to deliver another kick to another man’s stomach, he promptly bent over in pain and Elaris used his back as back to kick another man's face while also blocking another man's sword.Their faces had all blurred to him but it was alright since that wasn't what had his attention, he was more focused on beating them down.And that was what he was doing because in a blink, the only people stan

    The best place he could think of to get away from the buzz at the hall was the tavern.Dark, warm and quiet, the interior of the tent was blocked away from the outside light and they could only hear the buzz outside faintly.After ordering some alcoholic drink, he sat to the side and decided to drown himself in his own sorrow.What else could he do? He couldn't even do anything to Elaris if he tried, not with the way Lord Rades stuck to him and talked for eternity.He didn't miss the way Ashton was always hanging around as if he was some sort of protector, there was also this admiration that he didn't see often in his brother’s eyes.Tarex sighed and gulped the rest of the liquid in the cup, scrunching his face as he let it down, this type of sharp alcohol was not anywhere in Astrad and he didn't think that it would be available in ten years or so.Maybe it was from another city but it was sure that you would find anything you wanted in Embrayl, that was just the way it was.Even till

    Oliver turned his attention to him and raised a brow in surprise.“Why are you asking for that man?” he couldn't resist asking and Elaris sighed, Ashton didn't give him the time to start talking before he explained angrily.“How would we know about some stupid man if not because some members of this stupid hall wanted to test our brain. They believe that we are brawn but no brains,” Ashton moved back and pointed to both himself and Elaris.“Do we look like we don't have brains?”“Well, it is not like those who didn't wrote it on their forehead that they were stupid,” Oliver mumbled and Ashton glared at him fiercely before he unravel his fan to give himself some cool air or maybe it just for the sole purpose of placating himself before he did it quite furiously.“As if the mere insult wasn't enough, they told us to look for ‘The man who could give anything’ as if there was such a thing in the world.Even themselves didn't know his place but they told us who just arrived at this city a

    Tarex shook his head and almost smacked himself too. He had gone through great effort to come here, he had to wait outside for who knows how many hours definitely not to chicken out when it was time to achieve what he wanted.His father would be proud of him, Lan and Lania would be amazed at what he could do, those people at Genius Circle would also know to keep their mouth shut to themselves when he put them in their place.He could stick with using moves, it wasn't like Elaris could channel energy either, what he had always used to push him down were the moves that he knew.“Then that is something that I can do.” The man nodded in the fire tion of the men and one of them went to the stack of paper that was beside him and took one.He came to Tarex and placed the paper on the black table in front of him before he went back to his post, Tarex leaned forward and read the content of the paper.THIS IS A PROOF OF AGREEMENT THAT ___________ OF ____________ HAD A DEAL WITH THE MAN THAT GRA

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
