2025-04-06 21:00:28The force exerted from the attack you delivered to Crusher was what gave him the capability to grab your fist while you punched him earlier," Luxy explained. "And as for how the iron golem was able to hurt you, it was from the power reflected from the kick you delivered to it."
Ryder nodded in realization as he stared at the two, waiting for them to make the first move. "Now I understand.""Yeah," said Luxy. "You have to attack with enough strength towards Crusher that would knock him off the platform with guarantee.""That wouldn't be easy, given that his annoying familiar is on the same platform as us," said Ryder."Or..." Luxy hesitated for a bit."Or what?" Ryder inquired, maintaining his outward composure while internally engaging with his familiar in a deep conversation."Or you summon me out to take care of the iron golem."To be honest, Ryder never expected to be getting so much stress from a red mark summoner.

Just like Leo left, he came back with Lucian's levitating serpent familiar. The creature's scales glinted under the moonlight. Its body moved through the air with the grace of water flowing down a waterfall. Normally, it was against the law for anyone to be spotted roaming around in the middle of the night like this. The working time for public places was from dusk till dawn—from sunrise till sunset. The markets were busy during daylight hours, shops filled with patronizing customers, and the streets teemed with children playing their games of chase and merchants hawking their wares. The city is vibrant and filled with energy, but as the golden disk of the sun began its descent behind the western mountains, the mood shifted instantaneously. At sunset, everyone is expected to be tidying up and planning to go home. Shop owners would count their day's earnings, tavern keepers would settle tabs, and parents would call their chi

The information given to him about the black-marked summoner was still fresh in his head. Leo's mind buzzed with the details, replaying them over and over as he walked through the crowded marketplace, his senses on alert for any sign of his target. Earlier, during the early hours of the night, Lucian and Leo had arrived at the FSG base that was still under reconstruction. The once-proud fortress of the Federal Summoners Guild now resembled a half-eaten cake, with entire sections missing and construction crews moving around the destroyed section, reconstructing it. The sound of hammering filled the air. To think that this was the work of just one summoner was still hard to believe. Upon reaching the base, they went in and discussed a few things that would help Leo detect if Ryder appeared around him. The meeting room they occupied was one of the few undamaged areas, though a large crack ran a

"Distancing yourself won't save you from me. I hope you know that." Ryder turned sharply to his back, and he could see Leo's face inches away from his. Those eyes—cold eyes displaying amusement. Despite how beautiful they were, there was something predatory in them, something that made Ryder's instincts scream danger in ways he had never experienced before. Swoosh He felt his hand slice through the air, colliding with nothing but emptiness. The momentum of his missed punch carried his body forward awkwardly, leaving him off-balance and vulnerable for a short while. "What the hell..." The words escaped his lips like whispers of shock before he could stop them. Leo's chuckle, barely audible, but Ryder could hear it clearly. He was toying with Ryder and deriving amusement from it. Quickly jumping backwa

Bwoooooooom!The air burst violently with purple, crackling energy, rumbling the air and even the ground beneath them like a rising earthquake.The bolt tore through the air and finally began to materialize above them like a layer of thin, swirling energy.A quick air current rippled outward suddenly, blowing away the debris and remains of the destroyed warehouse on the ground. Dust, broken glass, pieces of concrete and metal—all were swept aside in an expanding circle, leaving a cleared space beneath the crackling energy bolt."It turns out it was a good thing the underlings' tournament was held in a secluded, hidden area," Ryder thought, glancing around at the devastation they had caused. "If it wasn't, then we might have attracted unwanted attention."He ruffled his hair as he attempted to confirm if his hood was completely ripped off—and yes, it was. The night air felt cool against his exposed hair, a peaceful sensation after so long

Meanwhile, earlier...Walking through the street was Mo Fan, his posture carrying a reflection of his inner emotion — annoyance — as he carried out his assigned task.The night breeze was cool against his face, but it did nothing to soothe his wounded pride, nor cool his temper. Street lamps cast long shadows as he moved, his footsteps heavy and echoing at every step he took.The FSG were taking Ryder's case quite seriously, and their collaboration with multiple capable guilds and anomalies was enough evidence of just how dangerous they considered the situation.The Red-Eastern guild head, the silver-gaze possessor, and who knows how many more skilled hunters had been called in — all for one hooded troublemaker called Ryder."A demon plane contractor," Mo Fan scoffed, kicking a small stone out of his path with unnecessary force.

Rushing through the maze alleyway path, Mo Fan’s eyes were fixed forward.

Without breaking stride, he twisted his neck mid-run to glance behind him.His familiar—ten feet of rippling muscle covered in red-blood skin, tusks protruding from its lower jaw, and eyes that glowed with red energy—was following Mo Fan loyally, moving with surprising fluidity for a creature of its size.

Splash!Blood painted the air instantly as a pair of sharp claws sliced through the body of the griffin.The beast's dying screech tore through the air as its blood sprayed. The black spray hung suspended for a fraction of a second, droplets catching the moonlight like rubies before gravity finally brought them down.The griffin zoomed past Luxy unexpectedly and headed for Ryder with maintained motion, but Luxy sliced it into pieces with a clean, instantaneous swipe the moment it got just a few inches away from Ryder.The monster's momentum carried its severed parts forward as chunks of flesh and feathers rained down around Ryder, who stood frozen in place, still struggling to command his body.Luxy's speed nearly made it feel like he was in two places at the same time at that moment.

"I realized you love coffee," Leo spoke as he poured some into Ryder's cup, the rich aroma filling the small apartment. "Drink up, will ya?"Ryder stared as the smoke coiled and danced in the air, barely showing any interest. His eyes were vacant, focused on something no one could see.Ever since Ryder woke up, he has been calm and quiet, barely saying anything. It was a good thing though, because Leo wasn't quite sure if he would have been able to tolerate it if Ryder continued his tantrum.Leo busied himself in the small kitchen, pulling out bread and jam for breakfast. His movements were nonchalant and noisy, filling the parlour with sounds from plates and knife.After what felt like ages, Ryder held on to the cup, raised it up, and sipped from the coffee."What time is it?" he questioned, his voice sounding like a grumble."Oh, and here I am thinking you won't utter a word," Leo cheered, his face lighting up with a grin that seemed almost childlike and cute, while he exited the ki

Dwang Sung relaxed on his plush leather sofa as he listened to the report from his most trusted—Ming Fan."Two days ago, Ryder was allegedly spotted at an abandoned district, performing a strange ritual," Ming Fan reported, standing stiffly at attention. "Mo Fan spotted him first-hand and delivered this report by himself."A smile extended on Dwang Sung's lips, a clear indication that this information had piqued his interest. Ming Fan continued, his voice steady as he reported."The ritual created a link between the Astral Shadow plain and our world. Mo Fan explained how the portal was orange in color, and the beasts that emerged from it were just as strong as orange-marked familiars.""Hmmmm, go on." Dwang Sung played with his long black hair as he listened."Ryder wasn't alone, but there was someone with him who was none other than the blue-silver eyes non-summoner—Leo."Dwang Sung sat up straight, all pretense of relaxation abandoned. "Leo..." The name rolled off his tongue like a

"You should be careful about Leo," our guild master warned us about him.The words hung in the air like a stagnant fog, settling into the mind of everyone present. Mo Fan had just finished delivering his report.Suddenly, upon hearing all that Mo Fan had to say to conclude the conversation, Lucian's eyes lit up. They lit up particularly due to the name he heard, Leo.Lucian, who had been leaning against the wall with his arms crossed and his face a mask of carefully controlled facial reaction, suddenly straightened.His eyes, previously half-lidded due to his internal monologue as he listened, now blazed with an intensity, his assumption must be right! For the fact that he wasn't the only one who guessed it was Leo.He was about to mention Leo out loud, to voice his suspicions about the blue-silver eyed person and suddenly now, he didn't need to guess anymore, he found his hypothesis."Son of a..." Lucian's voice was barely above a whisper as he clenched his fist so tightly his veins

"I'm back!" Leo called out cheerfully as he pushed open the door to his apartment, stepping inside. The apartment was unsurprisingly spacious and well-furnished, filled with items that screamed expensive rather than those that astonishingly beautify it. Ryder, who had been sitting motionless on the couch near the wall, turned to stare at Leo, his eyes tracking him from head to toe with focus before he eventually spoke. "Where is the chest?" he asked, his voice nearly monotone, like a robot. "Oh, oh, how silly of me," Leo waved his hand dismissively as he walked through the door toward the couch, falling down on it casually. "You should see who I brought instead. Much more interesting than some old box, I promise." Ryder's eyes moved toward the door entrance, waiting with the stillness of a statue. Several seconds passed before a massive figure came into view, ducking through the doorway in order for his body to fit through the standard-sized opening. "Brok," Ryder said, the n

His temperature was burning, and he was shivering—symptoms of a high fever that should have been like an insult to their dignity to tend to as FSG members. Yet, Captain Morgan found himself scratching his head in confusion as he reread the medical reports for what felt like the hundredth time.Every test they had conducted showed the same results: perfect condition. Not a single anomaly detected."What could this be?" Captain Morgan muttered, tapping his foot against the polished white marble floor. The sound echoed throughout the room, coincidentally matching the steady beep of the monitoring equipment connected to the unconscious figure on the bed. "What explanation could this have?"The medical agent handling Mo Fan—a relatively small woman with striking emerald eyes and hair pulled back in a bun—cleared her throat.If anyone had bothered to check her personnel file, they would have discovered her name was Dr. Elara, one of the FSG's top medical specialists due to her field of stud
