A few seconds earlier.“How did we end up in this seashell?” the porter of the team asked.“Edward brought us all here with his wind ability,” the leader said. All of the eight members were covered in injuries. Their healer lost their arm and an ear. “We can’t go outside because there are still too many beasts.”“Can you find that D ranker anywhere?”“No, I don’t see him.” They looked through the broken shell one and one until the leader found him.“There he is! Wait, the hellfish is chasing after him!”“What?”“And they’re coming right at us! Run!” The leader howled, but Edward used his wind ability to push the sea shell with great force and used it to surf on top of the waters.“Wait! Don’t leave without me!” Myles changed his direction and chased the seashell.“Are you fucking kidding us?!” the porter screamed at the top of his lungs. “Why are you bringing the hellfish toward us? Go another way!”“I can’t hear you!” Myles only increased his speed, skipping their heartbeats even mor
Everybody, all nine of them, including Myles got caught in the hellfish’s mouth. It tried to swallow them all, but Myles had pierced the sword in the ceiling of its mouth with one hand and also held onto the seashell with the other. The hellfish flew out of the waters and opened its mouth. Myles threw the seashell out with great effort because it was heavy. The bone sword kept sucking the blood from the hellfish’s head and deprived its brain of the vital fluid, thereby making the hellfish go crazy. It began to shake its head and grunt in pain. Myles also released bullets of energy from his fingers and shot all around its mouth to add to the pain this beast was already feeling. All this forced the hellfish to cough and spit Myles out. He fell into the dirty waters, not far from where the seashell was. While the hellfish was still suffering as its brain hurt, Myles swam near to the seashell and covered it with the trash before entering it. Luckily the seashell was still able to float
There were hundreds of powerful venerers in the Venture city who had made a name for themselves within the border and also outside the border. However, the reason this city was considered the most powerful and also most influential of all was because of the presence of three individuals. The Three Kings: the king, the queen, and the prince.King Bernard, Queen Bianca, and Prince Victor.They fought the other kings and many other famous mages around the world and brought the name and fame for themselves as well as for the country.There was a saying that ‘no one can beat the three kings when they’re together.’Only rarely would the citizens ever get to see the three things, except for the prince who was known to mingle with the crowds relatively often.Currently, Queen Bianca appeared on the seashell that Myles and others were traveling. The blue-haired woman, despite being in her early fifties, would easily compete with the women in their thirties. She used to be called the most beaut
At the Dawn guild.Sercy’s face glowed like bright flowers shining in the sun because she kept receiving multiple packages every day because of Myles clearing dungeons. Because he was a privileged venerer, the bureau took little to nothing and sent most of the dungeon materials to the Dawn guild.As a result, the storage room was filled within a week.Business people from all over the district and even from other districts visited the Dawn guild to buy the monster meat as well as the equipment.Sercy didn’t get greedy and sold most of the products, while keeping the valuable and unique items in the guild itself.Almost everyone kept asking about Myles and where he was. They wanted to talk with him and take photographs with him. The news reporters especially waited outside the guild in their vans, hoping that Myles would one day visit the guild.Not only did the Dawn guild clear all of its debts, Sercy began to give 18% weekly interest loans to other guilds, thereby making friends out
“So you were here! We thought you died when those beasts attacked us,” Casey and Biskie were excited to see Ria, but she didn’t seem the least bit excited. In fact, there was no surprise or any emotion playing on her face.“It took us a hell of a journey to escape the damn wolf city and get here,” Casey said. “What about you?”“I flew here, carrying Myles in my arms,” replied Mia rather casually.“C-Carried him in your arms?” Biskie and Casey looked at each other and wondered if Ria and Myles had become lovers or something.“By the way, where is Myles?” Casey looked around, but couldn’t find him.“He’s out doing missions,” Sercy replied with a smile. “If you two are friends of Myles and Ria, then I welcome you to stay here. Whether or not I should take you into the guild will be decided after I evaluate your strength.”“If Myles is in this guild, then we’re going to join too,” Biskie quickly said. (If my information is correct, the top scientist of the world lives here in this country
“I’m the one you’re looking for,” Myles was looking at the carrom board. “It’s an interesting game you’re playing. Mind teaching me how to play this?”“Y-You want to play carroms?” The four men looked at each other’s faces. They were just D-rank venerers. Though Myles still seemed to be wearing an Ace D-ranker badge, the information they had told them that Myles was as strong as a B-ranker, so they did not dare to speak rashly much less act arrogant with him.And they later showed him how to play the game. Myles loved it very much, especially the noise the ‘striker’ made as it moved around and put the coins into the holes. They clapped every time Myles succeeded. It was obvious that they were trying to strengthen the relationship with him.After playing enough, Myles thanked them and was walking away.“What about the offer?” one of them asked.Myles stopped and glanced back. “Go and ask your guildmaster this. How much money does he want to quit the Greed guild and become the watchman
“Hawk’s Hack!”Ria’s left wing aimed to slice through Sercy from bottom left. Her attack was so fast Sercy did not have the time to dodge. She had immediately released a burst of flames through her left palm to counter with the opposite force. It was done purely out of instinct, and Sercy thought that her fire was going to utterly destroy Ria’s wing. After all, the wings of birds were weak against water or fire, Sercy thought.Still, Ria’s wing sliced through the flames and struck Sercy’s palm. A diamond coating appeared on Sercy’s palm, through which Ria’s wing couldn’t manage to cut through.Sercy clenched her other fist which turned into a diamond fist. She swiveled and threw the back of her fist at Ria.Ria bent her neck at an abnormal angle and dodged the fist going for the opponent’s neck.“Blue Bite!” Sercy howled. A burst of powerful blue flames released out of her body and pushed Ria away. She couldn’t get closer to Sercy.“Her flames are so hot,” Casey felt threatened by the
Myles' jaws were both struck by Sercy and Ria’s punches. The eyes of the women slowly but surely bulged out of their sockets as they realized that it was Myles that they had struck.“Eeek! Who the hell is that guy?” Biskie and Casey were clutching their cheeks as if they had seen a ghost or something. “He’s not dead, is he?”Myles stood frozen in an awkward posture and looked like he might have frozen to death on the spot.“M-Myles?” Sercy poked his shoulder with her finger. While Myles might have gotten stronger, Sercy had put some decent power in her punch, so she was worried that Myles might be doing his best to hold himself from crying in pain. “If you’re hurt, you can cry. You don’t have to feel embarrassed because there are women around.”Myles still kept stupidly staring ahead without even blinking.“Wait, why are you calling him Myles?” Casey hurriedly asked.“What else would I call Myles but Myles?” Sercy shrugged her shoulders.“H-He’s Myles?” Casey and Biskie questioningly
