After escaping the clutches of the Seven Kingsguards, Marie broke off into a sprint... well more like a winged sprint.. Passing through a winding long passageway, she suddenly came across Lady Beelar who was just about to enter a chamber at her left. "You!!" Lady Beelar hooted icily as soon as she saw Marie. "Bitch!" Marie hissed as she arrived before the other party, sending a palm strike towards her ugly insect face. "Hmpfh. Nobody is going to protect your now" Lady Beelar's wings flapped as she easily dodged Marie's palm strike, appearing behind her as a sharp stinger pierced towards the back of Marie's neck. "Hmpfh" Marie merely sneered as the earlier palm strike changed into an eagle claw strike. Twisting her waist like an agile serpent, Marie easily switched from her earlier trajectory, grabbing one of the wings of Lady Beelar as she gave it a powerful pull. "How dare you touch my pretty wings?!!" To Marie's surprise, her tug wasn't able to rip out the wings of the othe
The silence at the entrance of the city gate was both suppressive and stiffening, until finally one of the Wagon Drivers could no longer take it.. "Have Mer--" choking sound interrupted his words as a fine bloody slit appeared across his neck as a pale skinned palm grabbed his decapitated head. Grunting, Red Rose tossed the head into the distance as she suddenly vanished into thin air, appearing besides the Kingsguard as she swiftly stabbed towards his throat. Her movement was both silent, quick and brutal. "Nice try, but you shouldn't have exposed yourself earlier" the Kingsguard who had already been expecting this move chuckled as he stopped the movement of her dagger with two fingers.. It was unknown whether it was due to the armored pair of gauntlet he wore, or the raw toughness of his physique. However Red Rose maintained a calm expression as the dagger fluidly slipped away from her grip, just in time for her to silently teleport away. "Hm?" the Kingsguard suddenly swung f
"We received your signal.. where are the traitors?" a beam shot out from within the city, appearing at the entrance city gates in the blink of an eye. This beam was actually an object... A silver colored sword and standing on its flat surface was a Kingsguard, with his hands behind his waist. If he didn't have a bulky build and a large tail swinging behind him, he would've passed off as a dignified scholar. "Lord Commander?" the Kingsguard whose name was Syrus appeared stunned when he saw the other party. "When I sent out the signal, I never expected the Commander of the Kingsguard would personally make an appearance " Syrus probed. "The whole castle is in a mess.. apparently the human woman we captured managed to flee from her chambers. The Kingsguard over there are doing their best to capture her before she escapes the castle completely. In his infinite wisdom, the Crown Prince instructed that I personally deal with this problems myself. So where is the traitor Eragon and his
"You dare slander the Prince?!" hearing Marie's statement, the one armed Kingsguard was immediately met with hostility from more than half of the group. "I--I.. The human lady is lying!" "Thanks for the distraction boys?" Marie suddenly burst into a joyous fit of laughter as an Hex pattern blossomed behind her right palm. The Kingsguards who had her surrounded seemed to have sensed the silent but deadly threat from the glowing Hex pattern, causing them to jump back "Lightning Web!" Marie swiftly slammed both palms on the ground. Boom! A loud and powerful explosion rocked the whole castle as the large structure seemed to be on the verge of collapsing. A large wave of lightning surged out from Marie's position, transforming into a sea of lightning snakes, extending for more than hundred meters. Wherever these lightning snakes passed was met with pure destruction. One of the overconfident Kingsguards tried grabbing one of the lightning snakes, only to have that arm explode; both
Monarch Departure was a skill that allowed Aiden to blend into that shadows. In this state, he could go completely invisible without revealing even the slightest energy fluctuating. However for normal Magis, this didn't make them completely go invisible considering the fact that utilizing this Hex consumed their beta force, and no matter how they tried, they couldn't perfectly mask the fluctuations of their beta force energy signature. As long as someone or something had a trace of beta force, weapon force or rune force, they possessed a distinct energy signature. However Aiden was an oddity. He could neither weild beta force, weapon force or rune force. In his base form he was merely an artificially made Vampire thanks to the system. On a normal basis he barely emitted the slightest energy signature and now coupled with a skill like Monarch Departure, he was like he didn't even exist in the plane of existence! However unlike popular belief, the Shadow Magis could cast their Hex
Although Aiden's blood managed to boost Marie back to full health, she still needed time to recuperate her lost beta force reserve. Perhaps it was due to the fact that she was in a foreign world whose cosmic laws were different from those back at Nightshade Kingdom, but the rate at which Marie recovered her beta force was extremely slower than normal. As such, Aiden left her behind to go fetch the Maester from within the castle. Although her beta force was depleted, Marie still had her physical abilities as a Vampire. Even if she wasn't at full strength, Aiden was confident she had the ability to escape if the situation became dangerous for her. Activating Monarch Departure again, Aiden transformed into his shadowy form, moving silently past the several Kingsguards and Soldiers at the Castle Premises. "This would've been a really good opportunity to farm some kill points" he bit his lower lips in regret as he passed yet another Kingsguard, finally arriving at the lowest floor of t
"This must be it" from within the shadows, Aiden silently observed a particular exquisitely carved chambers door. Flanked at both sides were two Azure Rangers who seemed to be on guard duty. According to the info he forced out from the Castle Servant from earlier, this was the chambers of General Jazz Queen; the Maester. "Who goes there?" one of the Azure Rangers spoke in the tongue of the Winged Panda Man race as he seemed to have heard something. Ting! The sound of an object dropping on the ground rang out as a crimson colored ball slowly rolled towards them. "What is that?" the Azure Ranger at the left sought the advice of his colleague as they both watched the crimson colored ball slowly rolled towards them. The ball appeared harmless, considering it was merely the size of a tennis ball. "A servant must've mistakenly dropped it. Sloughtful lot" the Azure Ranger at the left stepped forward as he attempted to pick up the tennis ball when suddenly.. Splurt! The tennis ball
"Forbidden Art.. Blood Louts!" The Maester opened her mouth, revealing a set of two fangs that ruthlessly bit into her lower lips. A single drop of blood dripped from her lips. Before this drop of blood could land on the ground, it suddenly floated mid air and began to spin rapidly, releasing a brilliant crimson sheen while in the process. "Condense!" it was unknown whether this was the cry of a human or thunder, but a loud explosive noise resounded, shaking the whole Castle, down to its deepest foundation. Bang!!! The Syphile Wheel finally landed on its target. A powerful wave of wind energy surged out from the center of the collision, spreading to all four direction, cleanly ripping into shreds whatever physical matter it passed by. Feeling the destructive force from the residue wave, the lightning wings behind Jason glowed brilliantly. However his speed appeared like the movement of a snail in the face of the approaching residue wave. Seeing that the wave was going to h
"We are here" Nimara who had been at the vanguard suddenly stopped walking as she shut her eyes briefly in concentration before opening them with a nod. "You mean to tell me that the infamous Ancestral Tomb is hidden inside this.. ordinary looking pond?" Oge coughed sarcastically. They were currently in the middle of nowhere, trapped within a wide expanse of soil. A few distance away was a pond.. running with muddy, dirty water. Ignoring her comment, Nimara gave Prince Eragon a look. "Only the bloodline of the Chief can open the Ancestral Tomb" "Ohh" Aiden suddenly slapped his palms on his forehead like he just recalled something. "Everything makes perfect sense now..!" At first Aiden was confused when he learnt about the Ancestral Tombs because things weren't just adding up. If Nimara was General Jazz queen, why was it that he was yet to enjoy the benefit of the Ancestral Tombs. Now Aiden finally got this answer puzzling him at the back of his mind. Feeling the curious star
"This.." the newly arrived Kingsguard was about to put on airs when he noticed the familiar head on Aiden's palm, as well as the headless corpse besides him.He and his colleague had been both tasked to confront Prince Eragon during his march and apprehend him. A few moments before, they were both racing each other and now, his colleague was nothing but an headless corpse?! Shing!While the Kingsguard was still reeling from the shock, an ear piercing sword cry rang out as a sharp saber light stabbed towards him.Oge made her move.Bang!The runic symbols swirling besides the Kingsguard swiftly merged together to form a shield, blocking the sudden attack. The force of the collision caused cracks to appear on its surface.Whoosh!Oge disappeared from where she was standing, appearing mid air the next second as her saber stabbed towards the eyes of the Kingsguard. She was both merciless and direct.. not giving the opponent the opportunity to counterattack.Clang!The runic shield trans
It was unknown who let the cat out of the bag, but two explosive news rocked the whole Hidden Realm.. The first was that, General Jazz was still in a secluded retreat and the second was actually more explosive than it's predecessor.. The Crown Prince was nearly assassinated within the castle walls!!! No matter how General Jazz loyalist tried suppressing this news, they couldn't stop the several tongues wagging within the shadows. For a long time, the mere mention of General Jazz was like a butcher blade hanging over many of their throats. He was a tyrannical figure who wasn't merciful when it came to punishing those not on his side. Unfortunately no matter how dissatisfied they were, nobody dared revolt. However with the release of these two explosive news, the whole Hidden Realm experienced a transformation. "You shouldn't be parading the streets. By the decree of General Jazz you are to stay within the confines of your homes" a Winged Panda Man race member who was clad in worn
"Hmpfh!" slamming both of his palms together, a burst of blue colored flames erupted from the forehead of the Delegate that took the form of a Phoenix with a Qillin horn that shot towards the descending Lord Commander.Bang!The silver sword of the Lord Commander sliced the flame phoenix into two, while a curved sword light streaked towards the Delegate who held up both palms in front of him, creating a flame prison that protected him from the sword light.The collision merely made the flame prison quake. However it was a far cry from collapsing."A flame seed huh" the Lord Commander swiftly arrived in front of the Crown Prince as he gave the Delegate a sharp look.Although he tried hiding it, his brows creased in worry."Hmpfh. You lot think that we Delegates are soft persimmons. You think we are just skins and bones with only our brains having value" the Delegate spat hatefully as he controlled the flame prison with his hands, causing it to change shape into that of a gigantic sword
Bang!!A loud explosive noise resounded as the doors to a chamber flew past its hinges, blowing up into smithereens before it's many pieces crashed against the floor of the expensively looking tiled chamber."What messages do you have about my father? why didn't he just speak to me directly once he came out from seclusion?" the Crown Prince retreated his outstretched leg as she bouyantly walked into the chambers..Apart from the shiny decor of the chambers that could make Marie go crazy with greed, there was only a single soul present..Well, before the Crown Prince made his 'loud appearance ' that is. Unlike other Winged Panda Men, this was was far more chubbier and shorter. Not to mention, he was clad in yellow eastern styled scholarly robes and was lacking a tail. During the time when the Winged Panda Man race was still glorious and the world of Dystopia was still thriving, there was two distinct types of Winged Panda Men. The Warriors and the Delegates/Scholars.Just like th
When Aiden returned to the Strategy Hall with Nimara, whether it was Prince Eragon or his supporters, they were all pleasantly surprised. When Nimara personally pledged to support Prince Eragon, the banished Prince breathed a sigh in relief. It could be seen that he placed a majority of his confidence in the success of the Ancestral Ceremony. After much discussion, a decision was made. Aiden, Rin and Oge alongside one of the retired Kingsguards were going to accompany Prince Eragon to the Ancestral Tombs This was a counter measure Incase any of General Jazz loyalist tried to interfere. Also according to Nimara, the Ancestral Ceremony wasn't simple.. Prince Eragon could die if he didn't tread carefully. As for the rest, they were going to silently gather their forces. Once Prince Eragon returned from the Tombs, the rebellion was going to begin in full swing. "Are you sure you don't want me tagging along? I won't target her if that's what you are afraid of" Marie whispered to Aid
"How did it go?" Aiden had just stepped outside when he saw Marie giving him a curious look. "Were you waiting for me all this while?" he raised a brow while smirking in amusement. Before Marie could reply, she noticed somebody else coming out. It was the Maester! "She's agreed to help us" Aiden informed Marie who gave him a suspicious look. "Did you.." As if reading her mind, Aiden shook his head. "I didn't bite her. What do you think I am? a dog?" Rubbing his temples, he continued. "Let's just say, we both have a mutual reason for a partnership" Giving the Maester a look, he began making his way towards the strategy hall, intentionally hastening his walking pace to avoid getting any more questions from Marie. "What did she mean by the bite?" the Maester whispered to Aiden as they walked along the winding hallway. "Like I explained to you earlier, I am a Vampire and there are some of us capable of turning other people into one of us through biting them. I happened to be
"What the Hell?!" although Aiden had seen a lot of gore after obtaining the system, he couldn't hold back the surprised yelp. Instinctively blocking his face with both hands, the flying head was about to slam into him when something bizzare happened. The blood dripping from the Maester's decapitated neck suddenly seemed to have adopted an elastic property, extending towards the flying head before drawing it back. Right before Aiden and Marie's stunned faces, the head of the Maester got easily retached, leaving not the slightest mark or scar behind. It was like nothing had happened. "What are you?" "What the hell?!" The two Vampires screamed at the same time, causing them to give each other a look. "You first" Aiden shook his head weakly. "Did you just witness what happened just now?" "Oh yeah.. oh wait! yep you just sliced off her head. What the hell were you thinking just now?" Aiden rubbed his temples with exasperation. "You were told to interrogate the prisoner, not k
Aiden had barely recovered from the shocking statement when a snort suddenly rang out. "He's the one who killed three Kingsguards? looks like the Kingsguards have slacked off during General Jazz absence" Although the members of the Blood Dragon Legion who were present didn't understand what these words meant considering it was spoken in the native tongue of the Winged Panda Men, Aiden had the system which could automatically translate the language of the Winged Panda Man race. As for the speaker, it was one of three Elders present. Pretending like he was completely oblivious to the other party's remarks, Aiden gave Prince Eragon a look. "How is it going outside? Now that their Queen has been captured surely there are Soldiers patrolling every inch and corner right" "Actually.." Prince Eragon shrugged helplessly. "It is the opposite. It is currently morning and the news of the Maester's kidnap has not yet been in circulation.. " "That's good right?" Aiden rose his left brow.
