The Making of a Living Legend 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

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.“
The Making of a Living Legend 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
The Making of a Living Legend 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
The Making of a Living Legend 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

“What do you think you are doing?!” A man’s stern voice cut through the quiet night, he adjusted his stance and moonlight flashed on the steel of his unsheathed enchanted sword.“What else?” One of the men standing opposite him said, it wasn't a question, it was quite obvious what they were all up to.“It is time for him to die! All of his misdeeds are out in the open, there's no use in hiding behind the closure of this big house!” Another voice followed the first, spurred to bravery by the first speaker’s mockery.“There’s no need for you to try, even if you wanted to protect your master like the loyal dog you are, he can't escape this one, lackey Rex!” The burly guy who spoke next, took a step forward and the men behind him also followed him, their weapons ready in their hands– they had all sorts, ranging from swords, sabers to spears and machetes.Rex's eyes went over everyone in the courtyard and exhaled silently, even if he wanted to protect his Lord, there's simply no way he wou
The Making of a Living Legend Chapter 2: He Would Submit.
Malek regarded the man in front of him and he gritted his jaw grimly, the man still refused to answer him since he entered.He, along with his minions, just stared at him like he was a show.“You must think that you are still it. Even when you are near death, you are still putting on airs and acting mighty in front of everyone!”The Young Lord continued to stare at him blankly, his shoulder was squared with his back straight, his stance screamed nobility and authority as he stared straight into Malek’s eyes, but still he didn't talk.The dirty silver and black jacket and trousers he wore didn't undermine his elegance, it contrasted to the calm look that made his composition shine through.“Once this sword is buried deep in your head, then maybe you would learn to use your mouth to beg for your life.”He finally scoffed. “You aren't among the list of people I would beg if I have any intention of asking to be spared,” his voice was firm but all Malek heard was the arrogance that resonat
The Making of a Living Legend Chapter 3: A Better Fate
The birds were chirping, there was the sound of bustling people, a faint smell of the sea accompanied by the warmth and smell that could only belong to a cozy place— no, that was impossible.There was no way he was alive, that he was breathing and if by some weird unfortunate luck that he was, the smell that was supposed to welcome him was something along the line of grim dirt, dried blood, rotten flesh and stale food. That was the only smell allowed to exist at the most menacing cells of Visteria prison house.He moved a bit and furrowed his brows when he noticed that there were no sounds of jingling chains, this made him try to peel his eyes open but he quickly shut it again when bright light obscured his views.What the hell was going on?!He swiftly sat up and looked down at his clothes in disbelief, contrary to his expectations, he wasn’t dressed in the normal tattered clothes that are forced down on prisoners of the Blood Dungeon of Visteria—the only place that they would have f

Chapter 59: Threatened!
“Ashton! You are here!” Caden exclaimed and Ashton nodded, glancing at him briefly before his gaze was back on the bandit leader and Elaris.The men were already attacking them when they saw that their leader had taken the lead with Elaris, a few blows were exchanged and the sounds of steel colliding was heavy in the air.The man was tall and heavy while Elaris was fast and nimble, putting the former in disadvantage, it didn't help matters that it was just the perfect place suitable for Elaris movements.The fight was over as fast as it had commenced, the men who were fighting Oliver, Caden and Rex also retreated when they saw that their leader had surrendered–it wouldn't make any sense if they continued the futile fight.“We surrender, you can go,” the leader grunted quite harshly, still glaring at Elaris who remained unbothered with a side eye.Even though it might not seem like it to any other person,the bandit leader was very aware that he wasn't on Elaris' level. There was also a
Chapter 58: No Bandits
Oliver hit his back on a tree and slid down while Caden relaxed on another, Elaris remained standing in front of the beast and studying it. The white belly had turned utterly black, merging with the rest of the color of the beast.He remembered what he had once heard one of his teachers say; An Ashcrawler’s color is only united at death.This event had made him realize how much he had missed while he trained at home and never left the military camp, training to be on a higher level.Sure, he had heard of different kinds of beast while he was at home here and there but he never truly faced one and didn't feel the need to study intensively about it because he believed he had no business with it.And he had had none.By the time he was general and earned the king’s approval, monsters had long disappeared from the land and only met once in a blue moon.Now, years back in the past, he discovered that he had no true extensive knowledge of beasts and monsters, and his ignorance almost cost t
Chapter 57: Ashcrawlers
If the ember filled cracks wasn't enough to confirm its identity, then the molten pus that dripped down its jaws and caused everything it landed on to turn to ask was more than sufficient.“What the fuck is that?” Oliver asked in a semi trembling tone while Caden looked like he had frozen up.“Curse my luck,” Rex mumbled.“It is an Ashcrawler.” Elaris replied and Oliver’s eyes widened dramatically before he turned his attention back to the monster that was just standing there and seemed to be observing them–it was hard to tell with things that had no intelligence.They are spider-crab hybrid creatures with scorched, obsidian like shells, which hide in ruined abandoned places and are drawn to the heat of conflict.Considering the fact that they were close to the border where irritable soldiers and citizens collide, it wasn't surprising to see it here. Nethrowl was also the perfect place for its existence, since it is a dry city with little to no source of water bodies.“How are we goin
Chapter 56: Journey
Elaris blinked once, then twice as he stared at the second woman who he had started to see some similarities between her and Jaxon.The similarities between her and Max weren't that potent but that was because Max looked especially like his mother while both Jaxon and Elaira took after their father, Dax was a mix of both.Now that he knew her relationship with the household,it made sense why she felt the need to take part in their discussion and pitch in her opinion on their trip to Nethrowl.Caden had once told him that he had a stepsister,he just didn't expect that she would be off in the military with General Blackwell.Even though Hila hadn't said a single word since they entered the room, it was not hard to know from her body language that Elaira was someone that she respected and it wasn't out of fear or status.He half wondered if they had another person to deal with.“It is a pleasure to see you again, grandfather, but I would like to start making preparations for our journey
