It was told too suddenly for Ulmer, and he couldn’t do it. So, Dylan teleported both of them higher into the sky so they avoided the meteor and its heat trail.Dylan sent a fire ball flying at the meteor and hit so that its path changed, and it headed straight toward the dragon.“That’s great. Eat that, bitch!” Ulmer shouted in excitement.Ormrker suddenly released black aura out of its body, which enveloped around the meteor and completely devoured it.Ulmer went a bit speechless. “W-What was that? It can manipulate shadows?”“Not shadows but darkness,” Dylan said. “There is one system out of all the systems in Syslon that allows itself to be used even by the beasts of the field. That’s the Darkness System.”“If it has the Darkness System, why didn’t it use it until now?” Ulmer asked.“Once it uses that system’s ability, it loses all sense of self,” Dylan said. “It’ll become a complete beast. Here it comes…”The great dragon leaped through the space and clawed at both of them. “Dark
Dylan lit a big torch with his staff of judgment, and it was able to withstand the utter darkness that the Black Sun Bomb had created.“This darkness… it’s spreading, but it’s not thinning…” Dylan realized that this was going to travel far and high enough to even block if not devour the sun and the moon circling in the sky, so he used more of his strength to release balls of flaming light in every direction, and these balls slowly but surely cast the darkness away.In doing so, it also revealed the ongoing fight between Ulmer and the crazed dragon, which created dark clouds to dance through heaven as it wrestled with Ulmer with great agility, speed, and might.Ulmer’s sweat evaporated instantly, and his blood was so hot it made his skin glow red as he kept up with the dragon. He couldn’t use teleportation ability successfully in a row, so he had to resort to his speed and agility to counter the dragon’s movements.It was a treat to watch for Dylan, seeing these two fight toe to toe. M
It wasn’t just that Ulmer felt his energy being sucked off, but he was also hallucinating inside the dark sphere.Ulmer’s dad was scolding him after seeing his report card in college. “You took six years to finish it. Forget about A grade, you didn't even get C in any course.”“S-Sorry, Dad,” Ulmer lowered his head. “I tried.”“Don’t give me that bullshit,” Ulmer’s dad coldly said. “You don’t have talent. I know that. But you don’t need talent to succeed in life. You only need one thing. Discipline. If you have that, you can commit yourself to achieve anything. Look at me. I was a professional runner who dreamed to win olympics. One accident changed my entire life, and my first love left me. I started smoking, drinking, and wasting time doing nothing. Those damn therapies never worked. But then, one day after your grandpa died, I, being the first son of the family, had to lead it. I looked in the mirror and faced my fears. I might not be the best son, but I thought I would never get m
The Dark Sphere was not able to keep all the energy that Ulmer released in check, so Ulmer ended up blasting the dark sphere away, and he even broke free from the dragon’s tail with sheer brute force.The dragon’s spine shook for a little bit.“How dare you try to mess with my emotions!” Ulmer grabbed the dragon’s burning tail and flew straight toward the firmament and bashed it repeatedly to that highest glass ceiling, making the mighty beast bleed and have some of its teeth broken. Once it broke open, it only took him seconds to get to the firmament and burst his way through to the heavenly waters above.“Why don’t you go and look for trouble over there?!” Ulmer viciously threw the dragon over further higher into the waters.Ormrker tried to flap his wings, but the waters all around him parted, creating a vacuum tunnel, so the dragon didn’t have any chance to resist with its mere wings.Ormrker headed straight toward one of the stars, which was giving off ripples and bright light. “
Ulmer reached the location where Dylan was.Dylan was sitting on top of a blue crystal that was floating on top of the waters. It was a broken piece of the firmament. Dylan was holding a dark spherical marble.“What’s that?” Ulmer asked.“The Darkness System…” replied Dylan.“Huh?” Ulmer was startled. “Why do you have that? Didn’t it get destroyed alongside the dragon?”“This thing is pretty crafty,” Dylan said. “It probably left the dragon right before its death.”“It did?” Ulmer found that hard to believe. “I didn’t sense it though.”“It’s darkness, so how can you sense it when you’re not focusing on it?” Dylan said. “Anyway, I will give this to my shadow knight. If it’s him, he should be able to tame this thing.”“Your shadow knight… Why isn’t he guarding you right now?” Ulmer asked. “Why did he stay back and let you fight the dragon alone?”“I told him to protect the royal repository,” Dylan said.“I thought he’s supposed to protect you. Isn’t your life more important than the roy
A few minutes later.Not far from the colosseum grounds, Regina and Neodus met at a hideout, where Vincent was brought.Vincent was in a bad shape, and they had to use all kinds of medicine available to be able to better his condition.“What happened to that bastard?” Vincent asked. “Who beat him?”“The first thing you ask about is him?” Regina hissed. “Nobody won the competition because during the final round, dragonworms attacked.”“D-Dragonworms?” Vincent looked confused. “You’re trying to joke with me right now?”Dragonworms would avoid populated regions, so Vincent didn’t believe them when they said that the dragonworms attacked the colosseum, especially when powerful people gathered there.“Your mother is right,” Neodus said, while smoking a cigar. “If I wasn’t present there myself, I wouldn’t have believed it, either. Seven dragonworms attacked us. The entire colosseum got destroyed, but that’s not the real issue.”“There’s more?”“After we dealt with the dragonworms, the apoca
Brianna was looking everywhere around Syslon using her teleportation, but she couldn’t find any traces of the emperor or the dragon.“Did they really leave the city and go somewhere far away?” she bit her fingernail in frustration. “But what about Ulmer? Where did he go? He said he’ll go after my dad, but he didn’t. He tricked me and then probably went to meet my grandpa. As long as he doesn’t talk about the harem system, my grandpa won’t be fooled by Ulmer’s words. But if he mentions that system…” Brianna frowned. “I can’t let that happen. As much as I want to go to the family where Ulmer has been living with during his stay in this city, I have to do something else first.”Brianna used her teleportation ability to return to the capital city. She reached the royal palace in no time.She came through one of the secret pathways under the royal palace and arrived at the big metallic door decorated with golden designs. She could feel the invisible barrier, but still smiled. “The barrier
The moment Brianna saw a glimpse of desire in Michael’s eyes, she smiled, and BAM!Michael’s expression froze completely like that of a statue.Brianna walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder. “Just be a good boy and stand guard here. Don’t let anyone enter until I come outside.”“Yes, ma’am,” Michael replied.Brianna then entered through the gate with the proud feeling that she was able to hypnotize an assassin in level nineties the moment they let their guard down.A few moments passed.Brianna came out and then brainwashed Michael to forget ever seeing her or talking to her now. And he nodded slowly.Brianna blew air at his shoulder, where she had touched him before, so as to not leave any of her scent linger there. She even controlled the temperature and the air in that tunnel to not leave any traces of her ever being there. She had to take such measures because Michael had extraordinary senses and the instincts of an assassin, so he could figure things out if she were
