Asron kept on sighing as he listened in on the morning report. Even if he didn’t feel like it, he needed to know of the things that were going on around them, to make sure that he could protect everyone.

The only thing that was keeping him amused during that time was because Chris was playing with Aslein on the corner of the room, who was in his infant form.

So he was able to watch them from his throne.

“They have separated the council into three factions as of late. There’s the one who’re now busy bolstering their forces and defenses for the upcoming waves of krads, mainly made up of the outer lords.”

He raises a hand to stop Hemlock when he heard that unfamiliar name. It caused him to raise a brow as he faced the wizard.

“Since when did we segregate them?”

He asks, confused at the choice of word. He was uncomfortable hearing it, and he did not feel comfortable with them giving names to the people outside, considering it was the usual manner of the old royals.

“We didn’t, they did.”

    Chris continued to ponder, watching Aslein play in his true form was causing him to think of several things in his life.He was having second thoughts of going back to his world, understanding the influenced he had brought to the denizens of that land already. Not to mention that he was now worried about the safety of the little baby.It made him anxious, knowing that he would have to leave the infant all alone in that insanely barbaric realm.He’d grown so attach to him he didn’t know what to do.It was during this moment of contemplation that Asron walks in, sitting behind them to observe how his son was playing.“Little one. May I have a word with you?”The drogan states after a few moments of enjoyment. The fellow thought it best to begin their talk while they were both in good spirits.Surprise caught Chris that it took him a while to put on that sarcastic smile of his, boasting a wide grin and an almost craze look in his eyes.He got used to it in order to annoy or scare off any

    “Are you sure this time is enough?”Asron asks, worried as he cradled Aslein in his arms. The infant had gotten used to his father and was being fed normally by a female drogan.“Yes, this is already Aslein’s tenth month now, and seeing as his doing fine feeding on his wet nurse, I should be able to sever my link to him with no problem.”Chris had consulted it with the other wizards, and after careful deliberation and study, they were all positive that the babe can live off normally away from him.This was crucial for him, considering that he was returning to his world. Though his essence and the things that he made would remain, his connection to the child would be severed.“And your training?”The drogan continued, cause they had considered it to be the most important of all.“I finished it, thanks to Hemlock and Cushar’s help.”They knew that some of his powers might disappear once he has returned. They taught him the basics and other useful tricks in order to search for the source

    “So, as I’d expected. I’m back here.”Chris let out a half smile as he gaze at the surroundings. Though a lot had changed, there were trees that were recognizable to him, not to mention that eerie feeling that was on the air.“This was the place where we found the most energy pulsing. This will be the safest location for you to enter.”Hemlock states.Around the area they had erected walls along with force fields and had stationed both soldiers and beast.With his approval and command, the wizards could control the creatures on their own by feeding their power to them, paving the way to another kind of magic.He’d also thought them the manner in which he adds abilities to weapons which they could further develop.They did all of this while they set everything into motion, as he still needed to make sure of Aslein’s situation and the royals execution before he was at ease to leave.“Thanks to you, controlling the forbidden forest, we’ve added this to our territory.”Cushar was laughing

    There was a sudden chilly breeze when the wind blew within that ghost town.The patrols that were wandering the streets could feel their skins crawling, sensing that weird, electrical sensation that was suddenly felt through the air.One fellow took out his radio, but frowned, noticing that it was dead. He turned to his companion, pointing at the guy’s device. The other man tries his own but ended up with the same result.They hear a loud clank from the distance, causing them to joint, quickly raising their guns where the sound came from.The mist made it hard to see, so the men felt that eerie sense within the atmosphere, sending chills down their spine.The two trembled when they notice a shadow walking their way. Its form was odd, having a bulky figure and an almost square like shape.“Freeze! Identify yourself.”The officer yelled, feeling that itch in his fingers that were on the trigger.Both could hear their hearts throbbing inside their chest, shaking in fear at the unknown th

    The doctors continued checking in on private Chris when they got back.From the looks of it, he didn’t have any kind of physical wounds. But from another perspective, there was a problem with his way of interaction.As per a professional point of view, his mannerisms and reactions were that of slightly being in shock along with a certain level of posttraumatic stress disorder.The reason for it, they did not know, as they could get nothing out of the soldier because he’d kept saying that he couldn’t remember anything.So, being affiliated with the ability user before, special sergeant Raynald Sanchez had put it upon himself to make sure that sir Chris was properly cared for.“Do you feel this?”The doctor continued probing on the fellow’s body.The fellow had gashes and wounds all over him that seemed to have come from cuts and punctures, and his physical figure had changed from a petite youth to a rather muscular man.“Yes.”the guy nodded.“Please follow the light.”The sergeant pon

    “Oliver, over here.”The voice called out from afar. The man was standing on the other side of the street.He quickly rushes to him, smiling as he waves at him in sheer joy.Officer Oliver Gently couldn’t help but smile, seeing a familiar face after a long time.After the incident a few years ago, which enabled him to gain powers and got listed as a power user.The guy had risen to rank in the military. From a measly rank D class, he was now considered a class B after his achievements and the growth of his abilities.“Sergeant!”He gave a quick salute to the fellow.Another officer who had come into position because of the same situation as he was.Of course, they deemed Raynald Sanchez class B from the start. The moment his other powers awakened, the government promptly administered him as a class A.The two had agreed to meet up in a coffee shop in the city, as the man wanted to have a chat with him.Oliver, being the guy he was, did not pass up the chance to once again get acquaint

    “We spotted him wandering around area seventy-five.”Raynald continued.Noticing how dumbstruck the young officer was.The guy remained gaping, mouth moving for several times, but could not say any word.He found it humorous watching the fellow try to recuperate, forcing himself to regain that soldier like composure he had a while ago, but failed miserably.It took him all his strength to keep his face straight, holding on to his laughter as he watch Oliver prattle on.Then again, there was no blaming the poor kid, considering the shock of the news was too exceptional that he reverted instantaneously to that childlike state of his.The guy had fawned over power users so much that when he had met one who had given him such attention; it turned into instant idolization, especially after receiving that gift of becoming one himself.Of course, nobody could confirm this theory, but seeing as their country was the only one to do it, meant that it had some semblance to the reality.“Wait, th

    “How is sir Chris?”Oliver asks.Finally, having the guys’ attention and interest, Raynald did not hesitate to answer. There was no reason for him to stall anymore, also he was itching to tell him about the current situation of the man.“Though he looks fine. I cannot really say much about his well being.”He heaved a sigh, remembering the sorry state of the special private. The way he kept mumbling during the whole check up about monsters, and then the numerous wounds he saw, he can’t be sure that the guy was all right.“What do you mean?”That made the young officer frown, swallowing hard because of the sudden nudge in his chest.“I think something happened to him inside that mist. And I can assure you, it wasn’t pleasant.”After many accounts of attack reported by patrols, and all those marks of scratches and bites on sir Chris’s equipment.He was certain that there was a mystery within that white fog that they were unaware of. The only problem is, he could not find any kind of pro

    Within the darkness, on a floating platform made of trees, vines, and krad carcasses, was Chris, sitting on a throne of spikes and bent trunk, along with the wriggling doctor. The roots of the fauna continued to grab hold of the now silent machinery, as it too remained helpless in the void.“We can breathe! Fascinating.”Steinz chuckled, as they were both able to remain alive, even within the emptiness of the space. A thing which was impossible. The chill prevailed, together with the silence, but it did not bother both of them, being protected by the makeshift vessel.“Let’s see you enjoy it when you get bored with the place.”Chris grumbles, sighing as he narrowed his gaze onto the infernal device. The object may have stopped, but he was certain its power remained.“I am positive we can find a way to kill boredom in someway.”The old geezer let out another cackle, enjoying his weightlessness, swimming within the nothingness like a serpentine fish. He used his webs as an anchor, makin

    The skies began opening up, tornadoes appeared increasingly. It started wreaking havoc, along with the continued earthquakes.Chris witnessed it all, watching how the land was breaking because of the machine. He took in a deep breath, feeling the drudge in his chest, contemplating on his plan if it will work.He’d been starting there for an hour now, and all this time, he was having doubts because of the fear which was nudging inside of him.He was so far in his thoughts that he hardly notice the portal opening nearby. Out came Raynald, a healed up Oliver, and the others.All of them stunned to see him just standing there, unmoved by all the chaos, looking into the nothingness with lifeless eyes.“Matriarch, everything all right?”It was the sergeant who asked, being the only one bold enough to approach and check up on him.That wake him from his dreamlike state, sensing those familiar energies. He smiles, having those warm presence surrounding him.Them being there somehow jolted his

    Chris stared above, watching that beautiful large planet in the sky. He smiles, unable to believe that they are going to collide with such a gorgeous thing.He turns his gaze to the pyramid, humming non-stop. Spike roots rot around it, barely touching the area. The golems which tried to go near the site all crumbled.Once again, he fires a shot. The beam deflects, ricocheting on the nearby tree.He clicks his tongue in frustration. The machine had created its own barrier. He could only find out after getting pushed back when he approached it.“Fascinating, isn’t it? My life’s work.”The gurgling voice states.Chris’s eyes rolled, huffing in irritation before turning to the now crawling geezer.The old man’s head popped out of the body of a large beetle larvae, web like mucus continued to flow out of him, three hands twitching with excitement.Even in his new form, the fellow remained pompous of his job, as it showed in how he gaze at the mechanism.“Yes, I would have commended you for

    After an hour of fighting, general Gently’s men started retreating, disappearing within the covers of the mist. The man himself withdrew into the veil of that thick, grayish cloud.The doctor’s lackeys cheered in triumph, having push back their enemy who tried to destroy their weapon. All of them letting out laughs, because even the monsters that were charging in had vanished.Chris watch as the group celebrated their victory and after a thorough observation, he confirmed his theory about them.Once they became complacent enough, he makes his move, stepping out of the guise of the fog calmly.“I knew you were still alive. Doctor Howard Steinz.”He states, narrowing his sights at the man who stood in the middle of them all.The geezer’s smile faded, frowning upon seeing him walk unfazed in front of all those men.The crowd was quick to gather, blocking themselves in defense of the elderly fellow.Those who had a barrier ability created a gigantic dome, protecting both the machine and t

    Above them, the cloud ridden sky sparked and roared, as the unrivaled beings clashed with each other.Behind them, booms of cannons and rattling of machine guns continued, and in front, debris would fall off from the top, while flashes of different colored lights would appear, together with the sounds of explosions.Chris remained still, staring at the two individuals flying in the air while cooking up a plan inside his head.“Matriarch, you think it was wise to use him?”It was Finny, fidgeting from the pressure in the atmosphere.Both superpowers kept releasing an immense trace of energy, reaching down below.It continued to make them sense the overpowering presence, causing the unbearable sensation of staying there, since they still got that fear of the danger being close by.“Zero can handle himself.”He mutters the name they gave him, confident that the being is strong enough to take on his opponent.The only trouble they had was the stray beam falling down, blowing up a portion

    Chris narrowed his eyes, feeling every bit of his body trembled in anticipation. His adrenaline was trashing about, his hearts continued to pump uncontrollably fast.The amount of aura the man was releasing was as he had expected, inciting a higher excitement in him.A grin formed inside his mask, unable to hide the sheer joy he was experiencing from relief.“Get him out of here.”He orders, not removing his eyes on the guy.From having witnessed the battle with Oliver unfold a moment ago, he was now used to his speed, so he realized how much effort he needed to exert to stop him.Though he stood straight, his fingers were twitching, alert to take out his weapon if the fellow tried to move from his place.A portal opened beside the wounded youngster, letting out Harold, Raynald, Finny, and Marco. All four were wearing masks, hiding their identity from the guy.The double S class stayed in a steady battle pose, weary of beginning an attack after that. Especially because his wound conti

    The force that Oliver released blasted away all five mercenaries.The others caught the effects of his sudden surge, because of the wind blowing from him from the pressure.The double S class, Carl, who grinned lasciviously while looking down on the events as it unfolded, also mesmerized by the dazzling display.Oliver’s armor completely changed. It now glistened with a blinding white light, the design on each piece that he wore became more intricate.“What did he do?”Nikolai, the serpentine user, was gritting his teeth, trying to keep himself steady.The pressure being thrown at them made it difficult to move. It’s weight pushing them down to the ground.When everything settled, they all sensed an impending gap in their levels, just by looking at the youth.Oliver can feel the power surging through every vein in his body, increasing all his senses.It was as if it turned him invincible at the moment, having an overflowing amount of energy, along with becoming so light on his feet.W

    Oliver’s heart raced, each time someone turns his way, his blood rushing as he continued moving in the mist's guise. His every motion stayed silent, quick, and fluid.He pauses when he reaches the summit, as the clearing no longer provided any kind of protection. It was where the opening yet did not have any area to hide.He takes a few huffs of breath, shutting his eyes to muster his courage, readying himself for what he is about to do.Once done, he did not hesitate to take a step forward, having put all his mind into it. In seconds, he dashes about five meters into the clearing, but his momentum was not enough to reach the gap.“It’s the sniffer!”One soldier got a glimpse of him, gaining the attention of the others. All those that were in reserve promptly rush to the site.But he had already broken through the force field, slamming his shield right into it without a problem.He uses the sudden pause as a leverage to shift his movement, turning to his side to head towards the pyram

    Flames, flashes of light, and debris mixed into the mist. There was barely nothing to see there because of it.Screams of terror, despair, and anger filled the air, along with the explosions and shots now and then.Deep within the middle of it all, Oliver was pulling his father to the safety of a nearby mound that he saw. Away from all the beams, bullets, and other stuff that were flying around.“Come on, dad.”He urges, as his old man could no longer move, groaning with each motion because of the wound on his legs.They froze in place, hearing a loud clicking sound behind. Instinctively, he let out a shield, blocking a claw in the nick of time.He winced, receiving the brunt and weight of the force, his bones cracking, forcing him to bend his knee to weaken its pressure.Huge mandibles began munching on his defense, attacking to break through it, while its scythe claws pulled at him. All he could do was tug at it, drawing its attention to hide his father from those large, dark, insec
