Don roared after he turned into a massive 14-foot-tall sabertooth. His roar paralyzed most of the people and even the guards around and traveled for more than ten miles in every direction.Everybody in the ward heard it, especially the woke animals.Some were surprised whereas some were terrified to the core.It was truly a soul-shaking, heart-trembling cry.Don purposely roared in order to intimidate his opponent before he leaped and slashed at the six-foot-tall opponent.Myles jumped to the side and dodged the slash.Don’s slash sent cutting energy and sliced through the police station’s walls as if they were made out of butter.“Kyaa!” the crowd ran away, howling at the top of their lungs. Don swiveled and leaped at Myles while he was still in midair.Don shaped his long, recurved claws in a way they resembled a star. “Saber Star!” A powerful spark of energy exploded near Myles’ chest and sent him flying across many buildings. Myles flew halfway across the ward and crashed in the m
Nobody expected Don Saber to be defeated, and definitely not the way he had. It took the guards more than an hour to find him stuck in a chimney two wards away from the saber ward.On the other hand, Myles was nowhere to be seen.Justin and others slipped away during all the chaos taking place at the police station. Every guard was looking for Myles.Because both Don and Bjorn didn’t wake up even after a few hours of time, the neighboring ward’s warden temporarily took the authority and issued a ‘Slay on Sight’ order for Myles.Anybody that killed Myles would receive a prize money of 100 million dollars.This was an amount that could make even the top mages act. Defeating Don Saber, who was ranked in the top 1000, would mean that the opponent was no joke, so giving such a high price for Myles’ life was deemed necessary.“Relay this information to the city lord as soon as possible,” the new interim warden, a woke-mammoth, ordered. “I want continuous updates on where this guy is last si
On the same evening, Kong came to Penny’s store and told her that he quit the Mertzel’s group, so he needed his share of the money to be given to him beforehand.He would get more than 20 million dollars, so Penny told him to come back the next morning together with the other team members, or she wouldn’t pay.Kong threatened her with his glare, but she calmly said, “Keep doing that, and this Penny won’t give you a penny.”“Tsk,” Kong started walking away. “If you don’t give me money tomorrow, I’ll destroy your shop and your career. Don’t forget that.”This wasn’t the first time someone threatened Penny, so she wasn’t worried in the least. “I’ve dealt with squirrels like you all my life, red-nosed brat,” she spoke back.Even though Kong heard those provocative words, he didn’t turn back. Kong kept walking aimlessly, wondering what he should do. And then he saw the twin women eating at a restaurant. He went up to them and confidently sat in their midst.They didn’t look too surprised b
The next morning.Casey woke up early and practiced her skills in the garden. She was trying to cut the flower petals without damaging them. Having worked as a florist for years, she knew the anatomy of plants and flowers, so she could focus on specific parts with her knowledge.When she failed, she looked at the book in her hand. It was a book she rented from the local library. It covered the skills related to the hair-manipulating ability.“I can definitely feel that my hair got sturdier and can stretch for longer distances, but I’m sure I absorbed a bow, so where did that bow go?”Just then, she felt her hair moving on its own. Some of her hairs turned into a bow.“Wow,” she couldn’t see it, but she could feel it as she was holding a real bow. “This is cool, but where’s the arrow?”An arrow automatically formed with a few strands of her hair and shot at the mango tree. Nothing happened, or at least that’s what it seemed like at first sight.Casey went closer to the tree and noticed
The Hawk ward was separated from other wards by a deep ravine. At its border, the guards checked the IDs of everyone coming in or going out and recorded them on both computers as well as physical notebooks, which was part of the protocol.Ria crossed the bridge and showed her ID.“Is this your first time coming to this ward?” the tall woke-lizard guard asked.“Yes. Is that a problem?” Ria raised her brows.“That’s not the issue, but your mage score is below six,” the guard said while checking her status online. “It seems you are yet to pay a million dollar fine for causing a ruckus in a public market?”“My teammates are going to pay that today,” she softly replied.“Is that so?” the guard gave her ID back and said, “Don’t let your score fall below four, or you won’t be able to travel from one ward to another.”“Okay.”They let her pass.Ria entered the Hawk ward and observed her surroundings. Most of the species living there were woke- rats, squirrels, snakes, lizards and so on and so
Hawkins was busy teasing the women that were serving him, so he didn’t notice Ria until she flew into his view and unleashed a deadly attack that scared the living crap out of the two women that were next to Hawkins.“Thousand Terrors!” all of Ria’s feathers darted like spears and whooshed into Hawkins.He brought his wings out and immediately guarded himself. All of Ria’s feathers struck his defense and bounced off in different directions. Ria controlled the feathers and pulled them back to her, or the feathers would have struck the two maids and killed them.Ria landed in front of Hawkins and changed into her hybrid form and leaped at him. “Talon Raze!” Her talons cruelly dug through the tiny gaps in Hawkins’ wings and struck his diaphragm.“Krgh,” Hawkins spread his wings and forcibly pushed Ria away.Ria somersaulted in midair and came striking down toward his face this time.Hawkins moved his head away.Ria’s talon crushed through the chair.Hawkins rolled to the side and made di
Hawkins was watching everything from the rooftop below.Four objects came falling down freely, and they were the four woke-kites.“These useless bastards…” Hawkins wanted to just let them crash and die, but then these four guards weren’t exactly weak, so he flew and caught the four of them with his talons, and mouth and brought them down safely.All four of them were unconscious and suffered broken bones at different places.“Who could beat the four of them like this?” he hurriedly soared into the sky, but to his bafflement, neither Ria nor Myles were there. “Where did they go? I’m sure they were still here only seconds ago.” His eyes scanned for them as he hovered over the city, but he still couldn’t find them. “Tch, they must have hid themselves under a roof.”He gave up looking for them.“You can’t escape from this city, Ria. It’s only a matter of time before we see each other again, and I won't let you escape from me twice.”In the ravine right outside the Hawk ward.Myles and Ria
Don Saber had woken up and was checking the surveillance cameras at the headquarters to narrow down on the whereabouts of Myles.“He’s seen in ten different wards, sir. He’s everywhere.”“He was last seen entering the Sheep’s ward—him and his group.”“Isn’t that on the back side of the nether dungeon? It’s a dangerous zone where religious extremists live.”“They are entering through the back door,” Don gritted his teeth. “How the hell did they get into that ward? How did they find out about the secret entrance?”What most of the citizens didn’t know was that there was a second entrance into the nether dungeon, which was located in the Sheep’s ward, a land prohibited to enter by the outsiders.There was no surveillance system in the Sheep’s ward, so Don had no way to see what Myles and his group were up to.“There’s no other way,” Don’s gaze turned sharp. “I have to enter the dungeon myself and take down Myles Mertzel, but I can’t do it alone.”In the Sheep’s ward.The locals were very
