“Even if you two join hands, what are you going to do?” Luke barked. “I still have your daughter in my hands, Rashn. Don’t forget that.”The Lich King and Rashn looked at each other and smiled. Both of them used their teleportation skill on Puck, which created a spatial friction that affected both Puck and Luke.Luke withstood the pressure, but Puck’s body couldn’t bear the pressure and broke apart.Luke pulled Puck’s soul away and forced it into a new human dead body. Puck looked like a different female now, but she was definitely still Puck. “I don’t like this body. It feels weak!” she complained.“Just bear with it for now,” Rashn said.Asger stopped fighting Darvi and came to Puck to guard her.“Now then,” Rashn and the Lich King stood next to each other, whereas Luke, Darvi, and Verella were standing side by side. “Shall we see what these humans are capable of?”“I don’t expect much from them anyway,” the Lich King commented.Verella was not even looking at them but was glaring a
Fights were happening everywhere in the wolf city, except for the Sheep’s ward, the only place where the secret entrance into the dark dungeon used to be.Penny had rushed here to see if the people were alright, and to her pleasant surprise, not just the people, but even the city was totally fine.“H-How’s this possible?” Penny was greatly shocked. “How come no one has turned into one of those black-eyed beings?”Elder John, the warden, coolly said, “How can the dark rain affect us when we’ve never polluted our bodies with the crystals from the nether dungeon that the mages covet?”“That’s…” Penny still couldn’t believe it even though she felt like John might be right. “Does this mean that those damn nether dungeon’s crystals are the gateway to being possessed by dark entities?” She clutched her head in pain. “What have I done! How many crystals have I sold from that evil dungeon! How many lives will be lost now because of me!”“Don’t blame yourself too much, Penelope,” John comforted
Luke took the battle to the clouds so he could unleash more of his power.Rashn wanted just that as it would tire Luke early.Luke created rings of flames around his upper body, which kept him floating in the sky and also helped him move around.What surprised Rashn, however, was that Luke’s attack grew sharper even though he lost both of his hands half way up to the forearms. Luke vapor attacks especially made it difficult for Rashn to repair any wounds inflicted on his bones.“Frying Chop of Poison Wolf!” A giant slash of red vaporous attack struck Rashn and again affected the freeness of his movements.“It’s amusing to see him try so hard to slow the movements of my bones,” Rashn thought, “but I can’t let the Lich King stay out of my sight for long.”He teleported himself close to Luke who immediately reacted and kicked him in the ribs. Rashn bore the blow and hammered his hands on top of Luke’s head, sending him shooting down like a star.Luke crashed on the ground in a loud expl
“Let me hear more of your melody, woman!” the Lich King laughed as his flames grew in size and so did the screams of Verella. “That’s more like it. You’re getting closer to how it sounds in hell.”Suddenly, the flames all got sucked into Verella’s body.“Ah?” the Lich King couldn’t understand what just happened. He was in midair. So was Verella. He could float in the air using his magic, but how could Verella do that without using her flames? Something didn’t feel right. Moreover, he could still hear her heartbeat, and it was steadying. “How did you absorb my flames, woman?” he unleashed a giant ball of black fire, which flew toward her with increasing speed. “Necrotic Cannon!”Verella opened her eyes and punched the fire ball to the side with her left fist. The giant ball of fire struck a large building and utterly destroyed it.“Deflect these if you can! Necrotic Chakra Bullets!” the Lich king unleashed a torrent of dark energy bullets through his magic staff.Verella raised her han
“I thought I was going to die,” Biskie was still shivering. “The way they kept fighting and destroying everything…” Just remembering the fight between Myles and the demon lord of the War-Ridden demonic realm gave her goosebumps.“But it looks like we’ve come back to earth?” Ria looked at the sky and was able to see the sun, and everything about this world felt familiar, from the smell to the sights, and especially the feel of the air.“But how?” Casey looked utterly baffled. “Didn’t the demon lord say there’s no exit to that realm?”“Yeah, he did,” Justin cringed in a bit of pain because of a rough landing. “But you saw how they were fighting.”“It was so outrageous that the space itself was folding,” Biskie opined. “I think the entire realm itself was breaking apart, and in that process, we were sent back.”“Like we were spit out from the stomach?” Casey wondered.“Yeah. Something like that.”“Then what about Myles?”“He might also return just like us, hopefully,” Biskie wasn’t so co
Justin pulled Verella’s heart out. “You…” Verella wanted to fight, but she found her energy and life leaving her pretty fast. And she barely heard Myles’ voice calling out her name. (I’m sorry, Myles. It seems this is as far as I go.) She collapsed forward and moved no more. Her eyes stayed open. Casey and Biskie were absolutely stunned by what they saw. Ria had a deep frown on her face. “What’s this twist of fate?” Rashn looked in their direction with intrigue. “Who’s that dude?” Luke froze in shock and disbelief. “Verella!” he cried out, but then Justin started biting on Verella’s heart, and Luke snapped. He came after Justin, but Rashn didn’t let him. “You can’t ignore me in the middle of the fight,” Rashn tried to stop Luke. Justin ate Verella’s heart in four big bites. His body started filling with the power of darkness. Justin started laughing hard. “Wonderful. Abaddon’s power as I expected is awesome.” “J-Justin?” Casey hesitantly called. She had never seen him laugh so s
A sharp black lightning flame burst out of Justin’s third eye and flew at Myles.Myles jumped into the great divide that was created by their clash just now. The lightning flame went on and struck a metal pole and utterly obliterated all of it into dust.“He’s such a quick thinker,” Justin, who was now in Myles’ body, grinned. “Most people would have hopelessly crumbled in this situation, but he didn’t hesitate to jump into the depths to escape. I could chase and kill him, but, heh, I’ll let Luke Oaks do that. I’ve got a lot of work to do now that I’ve attained a supreme body and a supreme power. I can finally start my mission.” He turned into a blur and disappeared.More than eight hundred meters deep in the great divide, Myles was holding onto an extended rock by his left hand. His right hand was completely gone up to the wrist because Justin had used the palm to block his attack. So, Myles now had only one hand to use and grab hold onto.“Justin can turn into a hybrid wolf. Can I
“Haaa!” Rashn howled and used all his magic power to seal the nine shadow serpents in one of his rings, which turned completely back.Rashn was still standing, but he wasn’t smiling. “Whoever that bastard is, I’m not sure if I can defeat him now that he’s got the power of the Dusk Crystal. I’ll need more power if I want to face him.” He teleported and appeared in the midst of Darvi and Asger, putting their fight to a halt. “We’re leaving.”“Yes, Your Majesty,” Asger quickly replied. Puck also nodded.“You think I’m going to let you escape,” Darvi spit poisonous acid from his mouth. It was a fast attack that could completely melt bones, but the undeads teleported and vanished from his sight. “Tch. Nothing is happening as predicted. I thought of stealing the Nether King’s heart crystal if possible, but I never got that opportunity. He was always alert of his surroundings and never let his guard down even when fighting Luke. He really is a monster.“But… who’s the guy that killed Young L
