Nobody had ever seen the Nether King before and lived to tell the tale. Only the nastiest of tales were spread about him by other dark forces in the dungeon.Why did the dungeon appear in the Wolf city? What was its purpose? Nobody knew. Since it was a source of crystals, everybody raided the dungeon even though it was so risky.If hideousness had a face, it would look like the Nether King. With his face scaly, spotty, and foggy with chilling vapors releasing from the cracks in his faces, he looked menacing to say the least.His sheer presence had made everyone feel paralyzed against their will. Even Porcius felt his arm trembling from the profound chill when the Nether King’s gaze briefly settled on him.“My daughter…” the Nether King glanced over his shoulder and looked at Puck. “I told you to not roam around without guards.” As he said, a person riding a horse came out of the dungeon. It was a Nether Knight, and Puck’s personal bodyguard. The spear in his hand gave off the chill of
The clash of two mighty fists set the whole floor on vibrations, startling every creature in the dungeon.“Freezing Fury!”Shadowy ice energy spread through Rashn’s fist and seeped into Myles’ arm, making his eyebrows twitch.“Overflowing Spirit!” Myles body leaked out bright white flames that not only countered the black ice but also set the nether king on flames.The sable crystal in Rashn’s chest sucked away the flames pretty quickly.Rashn’s nails grew in size as he swiped his hand at Myles. “Grim Reaper Fetching Soul!”Myles cross-blocked the attack, but Rashn’s hand slipped right through Myles’ arms and struck his chest.Rashn yanked his hand and out came a translucent thing out of Myles’ chest. Myles caught Rashn’s wrist with one hand and shot lightning out of the other hand. “Heavenly Jolt!”A white bolt of lightning struck the black crystal in Rashn’s chest, making him cough blood and forcing him to let go of Myles and move a few steps back.Myles was also down on one of his
Myles and everyone else teleported not far from the entrance of the dungeon, where Myles had left his mark on the wall.Nobody other than Porcius had a clue as to what just happened. The last thing they remembered was getting away when Myles and Rashn collided, but now, they were at a completely different place.“Where are we?” Casey looked around.“This is close to the entrance,” Albert responded, “though I have no idea how we got here. Surely, we didn’t get blown away to this place, or did we?”Justin looked at Myles who was already walking toward the exit. Porcius was right next to him. (Did they somehow bring us here?)Ria had a vague understanding of what had happened. (I felt like my body moved at an extremely high speed. My body might be able to withstand such speeds, but moving at such speeds should burst the capillaries of others. But they all look fine. How? What kind of magic is so powerful that it defies science?)Myles, on the other hand, felt like he might lose his consc
Justin put two star crystals on the table. They were almost as big as his eyes.“Hoho,” Penny took her glasses off. “Now we’re talking. Let me appraise these.” She sent a light ray through a magnifying glass so that it fell on the crystal. This resulted in revealing the ability of the crystal. Both the green crystals displayed visuals inside the crystals as to what powers they held. “These two crystals have the ability to enhance one’s digestion and healing abilities. They will also allow you to spit powerful acid through your mouth. It seems these crystals belonged to green goblins you encounter at the entrance to the second floor. Do you want money for them, or do you want to exchange them with other crystals?”“I would like to exchange these with fire attribute crystals,” Justin quickly said.“Fire, huh,” Penny flicked her wrist, and a small pouch appeared in her hand, startling everyone. “Don’t sweat. One of my abilities is to create small pockets of space which can store material
The six woke-racoon thieves jumped down and shot their weapons.An aerial shield formed above Myles and blocked all the attacks, startling them.“I’m not in a good mood,” Myles brought his hand forward, and a mini-tornado formed on his palm, you little shits.” The tornado grew in size and not only destroyed the barrier but also swallowed the raccoons along with it as it traversed out of the alley and kept growing in size with every passing second.The woke-animals with wind abilities got together and counteracted and managed to nullify the tornado before it grew any bigger.Meanwhile, Myles coughed out blood. His eyes were turning blurry. The spiritual seal intensified and began to make him convulse. The power crystals fell out of his hand.A couple of teenagers who came that way saw him and rushed into the alley. Myles was bleeding from the mouth and was even blinking, but after seeing the power crystals, their eyes enlarged. They quickly took the crystals and ran away.Myles could o
When the street dog entered the scene, the bandicoot bailed. The street dog was so hungry it didn’t even sniff the human lying on the ground. It directly bit his foot with all of its might. It viciously shook its head, trying to rip a chunk off.“What the hell are you doing to him?” an old woman just entered the alley and was shocked to see what the dog was doing. Despite her arrival, the dog didn’t let go of Myles’ foot. This angered the old woman who was none other than Penny. “Hundred Kilo Crush!” She waved her hand downward, and an invisible pressure pressed the dog down, forcing its belly to hug the ground. It let go of Myles and howled in horror. “Yeah? It’s just a hundred kilos, so stop overacting!” she came over and kicked the dog’s face, making it go silent.She removed the pressure, and the dog skedaddled with its tail tucked between the legs.“Now, what have we here?” Penny squatted down and checked Myles’ pulse. It was there.“I closed the shop early because I profited tod
Myles’ face swelled in shame and anger. He kept glaring at Penny.“What?” she indifferently asked. “You got hit by a woman before or what?”“Kick me again, and I’ll—” Myles was saying, but she kicked him in the face again. Myles couldn’t believe it. He should have seen her kick coming from a mile away, but he couldn’t tell that. Not even a bit. This made him frown deeply. (Don’t tell me… the spiritual seal has bloomed after I passed out? Did it completely seal my powers?) He quickly sat up and began murmuring something.“Mm?” Penny wondered what Myles was suddenly doing. “What are you doing now? Are you trying to muster some kind of energy?” she shook her head. “You don’t get any power from meditating, dude.”Despite her words, Myles still kept mumbling.“You hear me?” she snapped her fingers, but again, there was no response, so she slapped him.Myles was forced to open his eyes, which visibly gained red. “Hit me again, and you’ll regret it.”Penny sighed. “It seems nothing I say to
Despite how human lives were treated outside the wolf city, humans were put on the pedestal within the city walls.Even in the saber ward where Justin and others were staying, they were given respect no matter where they went. The woke animals generally treated them like the humans were above themselves. And there was a reason for this.The first and foremost rule of the city was: Respect each other regardless of the race.So, the humans also had to respect the woke animals. Quarrels between two humans or two woke-animals were taken lightly, but quarrels between a human and a woke animal would immediately result in prosecution of both parties. Both sides would generally end up paying a fine.Currently, Casey and a woke-cow were being prosecuted in a public court, where the judge was the warden himself. He was a woke-sabertooth cat with a huge build enough to intimidate most people.“I’ve been telling you that I didn’t do it on purpose,” Casey was trying her best to not tell at the wok
