It didn’t take long before the entire maze became overrun with those armored knights, and it even went to where they had reached the zone where they could traverse the floating island.But before any of them could reach the ladder reaching for them, all the said beings stopped. As if their batteries had run out.“Is it over?”Dereck asks.He and the other battle types were at the front, with their powers at the ready. Flames out in arms, standing bravely alongside their boss.“It seems that way.”Arnold mumbled because of the abrupt silence all around them.As Raynald’s gaze wandered through the maze, he could no longer feel any signs of the multitude of energy that lingered in the air.“All right. Looks like we’re good to go.”He says, noticing the sudden appearance of a glowing black orb floating in the middle of the pillars.Everyone was quick to turn around, all of them lighting upon laying their sights on the said thing.Out of excitement, the youngsters couldn’t help but touch t
The entire area had turned silent after the last participant got eaten by those monstrous doors. After devouring all the challengers, the said objects returned to their place.“Was that really necessary?”Raynald could not help but grumble at the three masked individuals.All of them started taking off the cover on their faces, the moment they were certain that there was nobody else there.“I also think you went a bit too far there, sir.”It was Harold, letting out an awkward smile, as he leaned down on the special private who was now slouching on his throne of roots.“You scared the living shit out of everybody. I almost pissed my pants just watching them.”Oliver whined after removing his helmet. The lad grab hold of his nuts to make sure that he didn’t wet himself.All Chris could do was throw a groan in frustration, pressing two fingers on the side of his nose to ease the throbbing that he was feeling.“That was the whole point of it. How do you think will the other gang knows how
While watching how the youngsters made their way into the make shift forest, Raynald couldn’t be prouder, seeing how all his members could adapt immediately in that scenario.Unlike the other gangs representatives who were aimlessly wandering around, others cowering in the trees, and some going full on crazy.“Do you think this will work?”Raynald’s brow rose, noticing how some areas were in total chaos.He felt sorry for the daughters of Lilith, as they could not cope with the sudden change.“I discovered that this method prepares an individual’s mind and body for receiving an ability, a thing that those people did not consider. Besides that, I have something that they don’t.”Chris was confident in saying those words.Having trained in the arts of the other world, and seeing as how they actually work there, gave him a sense of security that he could perform the said method without a problem. Added, he now remembered how his abilities function.“I’m sorry to ask this of you, sir. But
Chris excused himself from the others, feeling his entire body begin to lose control again. Now, currently hiding in the restroom, not wanting to be seen in that state.Hands trembling with every step, he tried to keep himself firm. He looks at his image in the mirror once more.The side of his eyes were bleeding, along with his nose. He was coughing up blood from the wave of power that craved to get out of his body but couldn’t, causing it to attack from the inside.He could feel his insides throbbing as the force reverberated from his veins with each minute. His sights kept doubling, blurring, and zooming in and out. Unable to function from the surge of energy that wanted to escape.If it wasn’t for all the strength that he was exerting throughout those trials, he’d have lost it by that time. It was a good thing that the knowledge of the other world allowed him to release some of those pent-up energies. Yet it was not enough. He needed more outlet.“Fuck, get it together.”He mumble
Several doors opened at once, letting out all the youth at the same time.They all stared at one another with exhausted gazes, yet filled with a certain pride in getting out of the maze intact and seeing their other members.They looked at the others, a lot of them were still closed, and the ones that they opened remained as is, but had some kind of barrier made of light in them.The hall was empty and there wasn’t a single soul left within the stadium that was now covered in dim lights.They were about to greet one another when they hear mumblings from afar; they turn and they notice the entrance where it was coming from.After staring at each other for a good few moments, they nodded in agreement to make their way for it, moving with prowl that their steps were so light that it hardly made any noise.The itch and curiosity of knowing who and what was it that was being discussed irked them to go on stealth, as they saw that there were no guards to greet them when they got out.It was
In a hidden part of the pier, deep into the slums. Under an abandoned factory, a group gathers around a table.Two men were eyeing one another, sitting on opposite sides of the desk. The first had a cigar in his mouth, while the other was drinking a can of beer.Both giving each other mocking grins, remaining silent, as their guys kept measuring each other, sizing each other’s power.If someone were to lose their way there, there would be no chance of getting out, cause of the pressure that was being released by the two opposing gangs.The tension faded when the sounds of clicking heals made its course to the place. Not long after, a woman with a frown and a sharp look on her face joins in, along with several more people behind her.“Finally, our guest of honor arrives.”The man with the cigar on his mouth clasp, leaning back on his seat to have a better look at the lady who was swaying her hips, walking towards the table they were in.The two fellows wait until their third member was
They watch, as the daughters of Lilith walked out of there, carrying a box containing fifty bottles of those special ability serum. All in exchange for the information of the black thirteens members.Finny’s face remained frowning, seeing that Marco’s eyes continued to have this lascivious gleam in it, sights remaining glued to Selena’s round bottom though she was already far away.“Was it really necessary to give her all that?”He grumbles with a slam of a hand on the table, pouting at the other man. Even after getting the guy’s attention, the fellow kept that pervasive smirk while lighting another cigarette.“It’s not like there was anyone brave enough to use those again. Besides, we’ve got plenty for our own guys.”Marco let out a puff of smoke, grinning as he leaned back on his eat, raising both legs to rest on the top of the table. Allowing him to rock his chair afterwards.His mind wandered into that imaginary world of his, filled with images of those females in bikinis.“Still,
All members of the black thirteen gathered in a tiny shack in the middle of the rows of houses in the slums.All of them stood in front of the door shaped portal that got left in their hideout.The entrance was so out of place, being the only object having an intricate design inside that piece up shed composed of plywood, roof flashings, and tarred canvas.Made of expensive wood, carved with odd runes on the side. From a different perspective, the thing looked normal, if they did not know better.But they were certain that it was the same one that they used to exit the hidden grounds yesterday.“So, why did the boss call us here?”Arnold turns to the others, as none of them seemed aware of the reason behind the meeting.“I don’t know. He just told us to come here.”Dereck shrugs a shoulder, lips frowning as their leader had said nothing to them after the entire event. In fact, they haven’t seen the man after the challenge.“Has anyone tried opening it?”Bruno’s was curiosity eating at
