“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
As Casey and Biskie wondered how they should deal with Justin, who was actually Myles living in Justin’s body now, Hawkins flew down and landed next to his daughter.His jaw hardened. “Who did this to her?” he glared at Casey. “Is it you?”“Eek!” Casey quickly shook her head.“Is it you?” Hawkins looked at Biskie who also shook her head. “Then, who did this?” He was busy fighting a nether knight, so he couldn’t focus on anything else until now.Biskie and Casey didn’t want to give Justin’s name away as it seemed like Hawkins would likely kill for what Justin had done.Hawkins picked up Ria along with her severed arm and quickly flew away because Ria was in a critical state due to blood loss.Biskie and Casey looked at each other.“Even though Ria had a divine shield, how could she get wounded like that?” Biskie wondered.Dirk, Biskie’s divine dagger, replied, “The one who attacked her used spiritual energy, so it rendered the divine shield a lot less effective. It won’t be easy for he
Half of the nether knights were defeated, but the rest of them left with the Nether King through a portal, which none of the city’s mages dared to enter through.The black-eyed people reverted back to their normal selves.The battles ended, but the entire city had suffered great deal of destruction and damage. The healing mages got busy, treating all the wounded. Still, the tensions between humans and woke-animals were there.The woke-animal mages with earth ability got together and tried to join the island that was split into when Justin and Myles’ had briefly collided.Rockell and his family were safe. Hipster and Foxie were also safe, but Hipster’s family had died in the hands of human mages.Almost every ward lost a significant number of people, but not a single soul in the Sheep’s ward died, though a lot of them were injured.In the lowest floor of Lord Luke’s tower.The torturers were taking turns to play with Myles who was in Justin’s body now. He had cuts all over his body. Hi
Biskie and Casey were staying at Ria’s house, which was now Hipster’s house, to be precise.“Where did Myles go? Normally, he’d find us by himself, but this time, he’s not back yet, and Ria was also taken by her father. It’s not looking good for us here, either,” Biskie was biting her nails as Casey defended the house from the flaming attacks being thrown by woke-animal mages hired by Hipster.Hipster believed that taking Ria’s house was a sign of bad luck, and so he had decided to destroy the house. Despite knowing that Casey and Biskie were inside, he still told the mages to destroy the house. And the mages happily obliged.The tensions between the humans and woke-animals were running high at the moment throughout the city as the recent disaster had shown everyone that the coexistence of human kind and animal kind was nothing but a pipedream given how one side kept shifting the blame onto another.“Biskie! I can’t take it much longer!” Casey hissed.“What? What do you mean you can’t
In the sheep’s ward.Penny and Elder John were repairing broken homes together. With Penny’s ability, she was able to carry heavy objects and place them where they needed to be placed, thus making the work easier.“I’m sorry, John,” Penny apologized after seeing John struggling to work. He was sweating and panting from overexerting himself. Even his back hurt. “I couldn’t bring a vehicle in time. Now, the security will be too tight for us to travel safely.” She had counted on buying a vehicle from a friend who was a woke-animal, but contrary to her expectations, her friend didn’t give her the vehicle.“It’s okay. You’ve done what you could,” John said.Just then, Luke landed not far from them and kept looking around. Seeing the tall woke-wolf, John rushed over. Penny recognized Luke straight away, though she had no idea until now that Luke lost both of his hands.“How many died in this ward, John?” Luke asked.“Thankfully, none,” John said tensely.“Everybody survived, huh,” Luke was
