Sercy and Nabal kept going at it with all they got, and their clashes destroyed more and more of the neighborhood and even began to affect the forever dungeon, but they were too involved in their fight to notice any of that. The flames and smoke going up also didn’t let Myles notice any change with the dungeon.At the same time, Ria and Bragger were mercilessly attacking each other with full intent to kill their opponent.Their styles were pretty similar. Both of them used deadly attacks, mostly aiming for vital spots, but because of Ria’s excessive defense ability, it could be said that she had a physical as well as mental edge in the battle.Nevertheless, Bragger didn’t look fazed. He just focused on bringing Ria down in any way possible with his sword.He countered Ria’s Thousand Feather Terror with his Blood Moon Bolt, a thunderous red energy blasting attack that reverberated the environment itself, breaking the trees and even bending the metal in the process.His ‘vera’ imbued at
Ria was getting her body frozen. Sercy got shot in the chest by an energy bullet.Both of them were in great trouble, but Myles believed that Ria had a greater chance of taking care of herself in this situation, so he warped and caught Sercy and brought her over to where Biskie and Casey were. Warping Sercy in her delicate situation made her cough more blood, but he had to do it. “Take care of her,” He told them and then immediately returned to where Nabal was.Nabal grinned slightly. “Your ability is really handy. If I had the ability to steal other’s abilities, I would have surely stolen your ability. You have achieved a lot recently thanks to this ability. However, a one-trick pony like you can’t defeat me.”“Someone with guns in their hands shouldn’t say such words,” Myles calmly stepped toward Nabal, and his confidence made Nabal a little hesitant.Nabal couldn’t immediately shoot, knowing that Myles had a warping ability.Every fraction of a second went by really slowly between
Bragger had frozen Ria’s body with a sword strike. However, he could still see her eyes moving inside the ice boulder.“My ‘brio’ ice couldn’t penetrate through her flesh?” He was surprised. “I’m sure she didn’t use ‘vera,’ so how did she…”Ria broke through the ice and attacked him with her claws. Her strikes grew more powerful now. He could feel that her power was almost doubled. Even her speed increased. Her body began to release a strange ethereal energy that he could only feel but can’t see.“How are you able to suddenly boost your strength?” Bragger grew angry as well as annoyed. “I didn’t see you consume anything. So, what sort of trick are you pulling?” He covered his sword with blood-red ‘vera’ and unleashed a vortex-like sword thrust at Ria. She defended herself with the invisible divine shield.CRACK~!Ria was startled. (The barrier is cracking?)“He’s using some form of advanced life energy!” Aegis warned Ria. “You’re not powerful enough to fight this man yet. You have to
In the headquarters of the Greed guild.A top healer from another district had to be brought to heal Nabal first. It took a lot of effort from the healer to repair the damaged intestines and remove the blood that had leaked.In two hours, Nabal was treated. He was advised to not move around for two days.After the healer left, Bragger entered the room.“How is Red Cat?” Nabal asked him.“She’s already itching to go against them once more, but I advised her not to,” Bragger sat down on the small stool. His sword was still decorating his waist.“Myles Mertzel… That guy’s warp ability is one big pain in the ass,” Nabal felt so ashamed just thinking about how he was humiliated. “But it’s really surprising that you, even you, couldn’t defeat him.”“I think we got away easy,” Bragger’s mouth turned down.Nabal’s eyes slightly widened. “Are you telling me… he let us escape?”Bragger raised his forearm a bit and showed him. “My hairs are still standing up. They’re not going down. That guy’s v
A few hours after the Dawn and Greed guild members fought, Myles and everyone else except Sercy was waiting at the portal. The dungeon behind them looked like a half-cut apricot and was giving off faint vapors, which suggested that it was a forever dungeon.“She’s taking so long,” Casey was growing impatient. “When are we going to enter the dungeon? I was so excited when I came here, but now… I’m feeling mentally tired.”“She said she’s going to talk with the bureau about this first,” Biskie said. “It’s understandable because she almost died.”“I doubt that the bureau will take a serious action,” Ria opined.“Why wouldn’t they?” Casey asked. “Fighting between guilds is prohibited, whether it’s inside or outside the dungeon. The rules clearly state that, and they attacked us when we tried to enter a dungeon that we booked. If the bureau doesn’t act even now, then they’re going to lose people’s trust.”“I agree with Casey,” Biskie said. “I think Sercy had to leave because she probably w
The moment Sercy and others entered the dungeon, they felt strong heat waves washing past their bodies, making them sweat very fast.However, it was the suffocating scenery before them that really grabbed their total attention. They were at the base of a chain of giant volcanic mountains which made low-vibrating noises all around. Moreover, they could see wyverns flying about high in the sky.“Wow…” Casey and Biskie’s mouths stayed open as there were at least two dozen dots they could see in the sky. “A-Are all those flying things dragons?”“No. They are wyverns,” Sercy gritted her teeth. “I should have guessed when the bureau bastards gave us this dungeon without much resistance.”“What? Why?” Ria quickly asked. “Is there something wrong with wyverns?”“Yeah. An adult Wyvern is easily as strong as your average A-ranker. The fire they breathe isn’t as destructive as that of a dragon, but a wyvern’s breath is highly poisonous!” Sercy hissed in frustration. “And you should particularly
None of the ladies were prepared for the word ‘warp,’ but when that word came out of his mouth, their bodies reacted fast and assumed positions.Over a mile high in the sky, Myles appeared on top of a wyvern that was happily hovering through the sky along with its buddies, seemingly having the time of their lives. However, the moment Myles landed on its back. Its agile tail came whipping at him.Wyverns’ tails were long and can reach all the way to their necks, so the tail easily reached Myles, seeking to smack him to death.Myles, however, blocked the tail with his bone staff, and then half of the bone staff elongated and wrapped itself around the tail.The wyvern pulled its tail back. Myles let it whip him around with the tail, but he forcibly spun the beast over his head and roared like a barbarian as he drew more strength into his arms. “Oryaa!” he threw the giant wyvern over his shoulder and down to the ground that was over a mile below him.The wyvern came shooting down so fast.
Myles used his ‘warp’ ability in tandem with his ‘vera’ to be able to withstand the speed and might of numerous wyverns and magnificently maneuvered himself so that he wouldn't be ganged up on by these monsters. Though Ria flew into the sky, she forgot her mission and kept staring at Myles fighting the wyverns. Because she had the ability of a hawk, her eyes were able to see differently compared to others, so she was able to tell that Myles’ movements were abnormal.“He’s not moving like a human normally would,” Ria thought. “It’s as if he’s acting on his instincts instead of his thoughts, almost like an animal. And his ‘vera,’ is able to withstand the tail-attacks of the wyverns. I’m sure he learned the concept of vera not long ago, so how’s he able to master it to such an extent? I didn’t even see him practice when we were traveling across the seas. Do you mean to tell me he’s achieved such mastery in the few weeks he’s been in this city?”Ria’s pride made it difficult for her to s
