The location was a room within Varvartos's castle. Varvartos is one of the People after Storm's system. Storm received help from a theif named Cast, who joined the team as a shadow operator taking secret missions. Black was shouting in agony. A strong pulse of energy was being emitted from him.He was panting heavily, sweating bullets as he stopped screaming in pain. "Huff. Huff." He breaks into laughter. "Hahahahahahah! It's done. With this, my dead fingers will be revived." Black sat on the floor with his legs crossed."Magic Item Awakening... This power will be useful for when I see that Tempest of a bastard that knocked me out in the elder's sanctuary!" He said in a venomous tone."Well," He got up and turned around. "Let's go check on my new playthings." ... "Ladies and gentlemen, with this conclude the last battle of round 3!"Keith stood over an unconscious woman. His miasma blades were drenched with blood.Several cut wounds were visible on her back."In two days, we sh
It was now day 4 of the Valiant games, the day of the quarter-finals. The crowd was vibrant as always.The announcer made his introduction speech giving the names of the participants that have made it thus far. "Ladies and gentlemen, this tournament keeps hotter by the day! For our first match, a battle you all have waited eagerly for... Two captains pitched against one another in a fight that will be nothing short of a final before the final... Storm Walker vs Neal!"The crowd cheered and booed for Storm and Neal respectively. The Tempest Team had all gathered at the bleachers to watch the match. They glared at the captain of the Shadow Riders Team as he descended to the bleachers. Neal had a smug look on his face as he looked at Storm who had waited for him to descend. "You finally get me, one on one. Are you excited?" Storm darts Neal with a venomous look.His hands were shaking excessively. It wasn't out of fear, but out of rage. He recalled the way the man in front of him b
A surge of Mana bursts around the System Bearer. His eyes glowed a bright purple light eliminating his cobalt blue irises."Mode 3: Chimerer!" His body was completely covered in the swirling chaotic Mana. It looked as if he was covered in black and purple flames. "What is this!" Neal took a step back. "For what you did to my family, for what you did to Adacus and Vex... Neal of the Shadow Riders Team, I swear. I will crush you!" "His Mana... It has two layers?" "This is the power of those that achieved the second layer... Dual Mana!" A black Mana coated his legs and hands. Purple Mana wings stretching out of his back and purple Mana flaring around him. Storm was nothing short of a monster in this form."Let's do this thing.""Chimerer?" Lucy said weekly turning to Kaz. "He's pronouncing it wrong," Mustang adds."I guess it's a wordplay." Kaz retorts. They gazed at their captain's new form. "I used to think that Sir Storm's powers came from his shadow Magic Item. Boy, how w
"I won't stop after the tournament... I'll crush every single thing related to Shadow Riders." Storm points at Neal."Even if it means going against the world. I will destroy Shadow Riders!"Neal grits his teeth. Why was he intimidated by Storm so much?He had just exhibited a form so powerful the walls of the arena cracked from the mere pressure of his transformation.So far, this was the most powerful transformation witnessed in the tournament. Yet, Storm simply played a card of his own."Tck, this can't be happening!" And as the System Bearer pointed out, Neal's time was running out. But that wasn't what bothered him the most. His opponent had declared that he would defeat him before his time runs out."Black Torpedo!" Neal dodges a moving Storm. Storm was repeatedly charging at Neal while moving like a corkscrew. The attack he labels "Black torpedo" was fast and explosive upon contact.So far, all of the System Bearer's fights ended in a one-hit knockout. One of these matches
"Tempest!" "Tempest!" "Tempest!" After Storm's match with Neal, the crowd cheered the loudest they've ever for the Tempest Team.Bit by bit they were gaining more recognition with every match. But today's match-up gave sparked further awareness from braves elsewhere.It was understandable too. Storm had forced a powerhouse Team like Shadow Riders to disband by threatening their captain. The crowd could not begin to grasp the pressure Neal was placed under.It wasn't remote knowledge to everyone that the Shadow Riders Team were affiliated with the Don, Varvartos.Some found it foolish that the Tempest Team would invoke the wrath of such a powerful man. Little did they know that they were already bound to clash.Others saw the potential in the Tempest Team. Now more than ever. Storm's plan was originally to send a message to everyone. "Don't mess with my family or I'll destroy you."Disbanding a Team is no small feat alas Neal had to disband Shadow Riders to stop Storm from going af
Teamk!Boom! Crackle! Mjolnir, the weapon of the Norse god of thunder. Thunderbolt, the weapon of the Greek god of thunder. These two weapons from different mythologies clashed. "Thunder Mash!" Whenever the two weapons collided, a powerful shockwave occurred. Yellow and blue sparks flew as they canceled each others attacks. Kaze swung his hammer forward. Zed swayed to the right and arched his thunderbolt to cut the broad chest of his opponent.Kaze held his chest as blood spurts out.He licks his blood and smiles. Zed sees this and takes a stance to prepare for the next clash."It's clear I need something more if I want to win." Said the Lightning Master.A powerful Mana bursts around him momentarily. As the Mana vanishes, his skin turned red. "Over clock X2." He declared. "Ouu." Zed exclaimed. "That's the power I've heard whispers about? It's an honor to go against such power."Zed had the seismic insight and could instantly grasp the power surging through his opponent. "H
"Your winner, " The announcer's mic and all other electrical equipment started working normally again. "Zed!" The crowd cheered. They didn't just applaud Zed for winning, but Kaze as well for giving them a match to remember.Zed came out victorious between the two Thunder God Magic Item users. "Kaze..." "Lost." Lucy finished Tana's sentence. The Tempests wore worried looks on their faces."Even with Thunder God, he was bested." Said Kaz."Noooo" Ernie yells. He jolts up from his seat. "What will happen to the Kasper now!?" He bawls. "Just, kill me. I don't want to live." Kaz pats the back of the guitarist and said. "Chill bro, chill." With a malicious smile. Ernie darts him with a murderous look. "Don't use my quotes on me!" "I couldn't help it." "That match was... Solemn!" Storm exclaims. "Both of them fought with their best." He adds. The Tempests (except for Ernie) nodded their heads and went on to applaud alongside the rest of the crowd.Kaze regained consciousness and s
Clank!Swoosh!Rhea was struggling to match up to Kira's strength and speed.It was one thing that she was being pushed around, Kira kept getting stronger and faster the more blood she draws from her. Rhea was sweating nervously. "Pant pant." She was also starting to suffer from the relentless offense that Kira was showcasing.She attacks, draw blood and, gets stronger."Hihihi. You've lasted longer than my previous opponents." "Tck." "Don't squeeze your face like that." Kira pouted her cheeks. "That's a good thing.""You're so annoying!" Rhea snapped."Aww, thank you." Kira smiled. Zed was seated beside the Tempest clan spectating the fight."Your Kira sure is unique." Kaze comments."Thanks haha, she believes in living wildly...""That's alright bro," Kaze wraps his hand around Zed's neck. "The feisty-er they are, the hotter they get." He pokes Zed's cheeks.The captain of Kami didn't budge and only smiled. "I guess you're right. However, there's more to Kira than being a perfec
