"Huff… huff.."
Breathing heavily, Luke dragged his body out of the river and lay on the ground with his face facing the stars.
'From all the ways to die, I almost died by getting drowned…' Thought Luke as he sighed, trying to recall how it had happened.
<After looking for a cave in a while, Luke finally found one right in the middle of the forest. In a small slope on the road of the forest, laid the entrance to what seemed to be a large cave. The cave was surrounded by vines all around its mouth, with both sides of its mouth made of stone walls to pillar the cave. Taking some dry branches that were near the cave, Luke made a bonfire in the cave while he warmed himself and dried his clothes. Chanting a quick barrier spell as well as an alarm spell from his dwindling magic power in case of an unwanted intruder, Luke went back again to absorb the energy in their air while he sits in lotus position. On five hundred meters away, Xiang Heng slowly stepped out from the shadow of a tree, while he smiled as he stared at Luke's direction, "Found you." Turning his head around, he noticed that he didn't feel any aura of Ma Min. Just to be sure, he activated a detecting technique but there was no result as well. Smiling, Xiang Heng held his lon
*Whoosh* Right after the words left his mouth, Xiang Heng swiftly dove down with his blades gripped in reverse grip and pointed at Luke.Seeing where he would attack, this time Luke dodged the incoming strike by taking a step back as his acceleration spell was still in effect. But right after Luke's steps stopped, Xiang Heng already pursued him.Flying very low, Xiang Heng's wings quickly went towards Luke. Seeing Xiang Heng approaching him right in front of him, Luke took a stance while he pulled his arm to punch at Xiang Heng with all his might. However, before Luke could throw his punch, Xiang heng suddenly moved so fast that he left after images, he went at Luke's back to slash right at Luke's neck. His instinct screaming in danger, Luke raised his arm instead for a punch and shielded the left side of his neck. *Clang* Steel clashed with steel noise had sounded while Xiang Heng widened his eyes a little bit. Smirking, Xiang Heng shaked his blade to make the noise screech as he
"Who is that…" Asked Luke back while she stared at the woman with a tired gaze. But soon, he clicked his tongue and muttered, "Oh right.. No one could spell my f*cking name.""Hmm? That isn't your name?" Asked the woman back with a smile as she continued, "Please do tell. What's your name?""
"..." Staying silent for a while, Luke glanced around once more to see if there were any gaps for him to exploit. Shaking her head, the woman spoke with an irritated voice, "No need to bother yourself to think of running away. Even your legs are trembling right now." Frowning, Luke contemplated for a moment, 'Shall I use that forbidden spell? But there were no source to use.. 'After more than three breaths, the woman's patience was at its limit and she said, "Tell me if you’re going to reveal your art to me or not, now.” "... Fine." Nodding his head, Luke glanced at the woman and spoke, "What do you want to know?" "Now that's a good boy." Lowering her sword downwards, she replied with a serious expression, "Tell me how to use your art to create elements and wield them to do your bidding, and the way for you to absorb the energy in the air through your pores." Staring at the woman with a complicated expression, Luke said, "It is something called magic and the energy to guide the p
Magic has been divided into three schools. In general, magic was knowledgeable for three specializations with each having a lot of different categories. Destruction school magic: The way to materializing power beyond the user's might. Known to specialize in firepower spells and such that were mainly used for attacking. Connection school magic: The way to connect/link the user into power that is beyond their reach. This magic was known to be so versatile in many aspects as it could connect into any elements in the world, and even to the vague concept such as time, space, destiny, or otherworld. Recreation school magic: The way to recreate, copy, add, or even restructure matter of any form. This magic would be in need to be used in tandem with connection school magic for the user to connect themselves with the materials and any elements for creating, reforging, enchanting, and a lot more. But what if one would take one category from three schools and form a brand new spell? 'The inc
*Chirp* *Chirp* Chirping sound of birds could be heard on the canopy of the forest. Through the gaps in the leaves, sunlight shone and lit the ground with its light. Faint growls of the beast in the distance sounded along with many small animals starting their activities in the morning. A normal bunny with white fur was hopping around in the bushes as it sought food. After a while, it hopped outside of the bushes and landed on the ground with some space that would be a perfect spot for setting up tents. Raising its small snout, the bunny sniffed in the air and smelled something funny. Hopping to the source of the smell, the bunny arrived at the body of a human male that was drenched with blood all over him. Laying on the ground with his face facing the dirt, the bunny sniffed again towards the man and slightly licked the man's cheek. Feeling something, the man's eyelids began to tremble. Opening his eyes slowly, the man saw the bunny's face up close as he murmured with a hoarse voi
"Where are they?"Several meters away from the edge of a cliff, there were several figures that could be seen resting under the trees. Two of them were standing up right under the tree while another two were sitting on the ground under the tree that was a few meters away. "Bai Tu!"Shouting loudly after seeing the sudden assault that came from the bushes, Lei Mu was about to charge but was stopped by a voice."I'm alright! D*mnit! He The Saga of the Unbroken 35. The Mist
"Heh, there he goes." Smiling widely at the falling Jameson, a burly man and more than a dozen men in suits snickered in derision. Then, those men shifted their attention to the beauty whose expression was full of horror as she watched the one she loved fell to his death. As she was subconsciously about to rise up and rush to the edge of the rooftop, a strong hand grabbed her hair and another hand slapped her right cheek. Toppling her back to the floor while the burly man spat, "Who said you could move without permission?" Without a second thought, he walked to the woman and continued where they left off. Amidst the struggle of the woman and
Two days later, somewhere within the territory of the Empire, a man in a casual T-shirt and jeans was walking through the sidewalk as his eyes darted around. His figure was perfectly blended into the crowd, as a strange invisible force enveloping him made it harder to be spotted and sought of amidst the busy streets. It made him no different than a ghost. Even the lenses of the camera near the traffic signs couldn't locate his face and figure. At the same time, no one around him seemed to be aware of his presence. Yet, their body subconsciously moved to the side to give a way for him. The red sporty hat that covered his hair and the surgeon mask he put on gave him the appearance of a shady person. However, the man didn't think that his disguise would attract much attention if the force around him disappeared. All he t
At last, everything finally died down and back to the silence, where not even the quietest noise of some engine or footsteps of any lifeforms. Except for Luke's breathing and the sound of the gigantic star behind him, everything was silent.Or rather, everything was gone. All that he could see was the never ending horizon of countless stars. The spaceships, the abominations, and all of the immortals were killed by a few spells from him."I did it…"His voice traveled only to the square barrier enveloping his figure that contained breathable air for him and withstanding the harshness of outer space. However, even without a barrier, Luke was sure that outer space wouldn't be a threat to him anymore. Not when he was in this state.&n
Fear, an emotion that had been lost within the passage of time. Ever since the day he was crowned as the leader of the entire higher realm, he discarded the remaining weak part of him as far away as he could. Locking it deep in his consciousness to the point he thought he wouldn't feel those emotions for the rest of his long life.But he was wrong. In this moment, there was nothing more than the word fear to describe the horrible and hair raising feelings. It was almost borderline awe when he gave a second look to the event before him. Which was something he wouldn't dare to dream of in his wildest imagination.Rather, It was something akin to nightmare and preposterous fantasy rather than imagination.But when that searing heat touched his indestruct
"Guahkk!"A long, deep gash appeared on Dong Zhuo's chest, adding to the countless injuries he already received. Although the creature wasn't fully unscathed either, the situation was bleak no matter how he saw it.Instead of following for another attack, the creature halted his movements and leisurely watched the exhausted and wounded group before him. None of them seems to be able to hang on that long and Dong Zhuo who had been clashing against the creature all this time was panting heavily as well.The creature crossed his arms and waited. Blatantly showed a superior attitude to the immortals. But after all of the battle and even wrecking most of the area, they couldn't give the creature any fatal blows except for some scratches. It was clear that day th
'But first…'Turning his head, the remaining mobs were approaching him but they slowly decreased their pace after a certain distance. Growled threateningly yet didn't dare to take another step.'They were afraid of getting burned.'Even Luke realized that his spells barely managed to hold on under the heat. And yet, the heat was steadily rising up with time. If he took this too long, he would miss his chance.Didn't wanting to waste anymore time, he flew to the group of mobs and readied his handguns. Although he could fight using Rein's fight, manipulating the space around him, Luke prepared to use this approach. For this was the most comfortable way for him.
'Another powerful abomination? No… This pressure, that thing is on another level.'Staring at the floating being high above, Luke the rest felt cold sweats formed on their foreheads. Even Hong Ming's energy based body was shivering in fright by itself. The notifications inside his mind were ringing incessantly. Telling him to run away as he encountered a creature that would kill him easily."Another weird creature that tried to act big."Among everyone present, Dong Zhou, one of the immortals and the strongest of them, stood up from his position, even though his legs were shaking quite a bit. His piercing gaze glared at the creature. Murderous intent seeping away from his figure and permeating the air. To the point that one could feel the bone chilli
Suddenly, at the very peak tower among the hundred towers in the abomination's headquarters, a creature with four arms and two legs, with a long, and strong tail was narrowing its only eye in surprise.Its skin was painted with the image of outer space, with dots of white stars twinkling within and some sort of purple and blue currents were traversing that space. Its head was shaped like a spike, but it had no hairs. Excluding the lack of nose and mouth, the creature possessed a pair of long humanoid ears.'Someone is entering the Hoarding Room?'Tilting his head to the side, the creature was sure no abominations would dare to carelessly enter that place. Not only was there the trap that laid for any invaders to be sent to the disposal chamber and burnt to
Half an hour later after he went through the ventilation, Luke still couldn't see the end of it. In addition to the twisting ways that are no different than a giant maze to him, Luke wouldn't be that confident anymore if not because of the system that helps him."[One kilometers ahead, turn to the right side. There would be 67% chance it would lead to the center area of the headquarters.]"To further aid him, Luke used his recreation school magic to create small androids that act as the eyes for the system. They were as big as a fly and their numbers were more than a hundred. However, even though they were supposed to only cost a drop of magic power to Luke, his size also restricted the magic power reserve within him as well.Along the way, he learned that there
