Zayan looked at Woodwraith, "Why would you try to slay yourself?" Abban looked at Zayan, "They have speech but they can't get pronouns right." The Woodwraith said with an idiotic tone, "She will kill it and eat the Sofitel." Abban ran forward before Woodwraith could see him, he jumped on his head and took him by his horns before anyone could comprehend what was going on, Abban Buried Woodwraith's head down in the ground, and broke his left horn. Abban backed down, and Woodwraith stood up, "You are angry." He yelled and elongated his right hand to punch Abban, but before his fist could make contact, Abban ducked down and stabbed his hand with the horn that he had taken off from his head. Woodwraith's hand started bleeding but, before it could touch Abban, he jumped away. The thing coming from his hand wasn't blood, it was lava. Djinns have lava surging through their body. Just before Woodwraith called his hand back, red lava touched the ground, burning it. "I know you are strong and all but, he is a Woodwraith, B-grade Djinn." Abban looked at Zayan, "What are you talking about? We are here to kill Eighth Hellguard, if we can't beat this guy, how do you plan on killing him?" Zayan looked at Abban, "Fair point… But…"Abban ran towards Woodwraith, elongating both hands and started swinging them toward Abban like whips. Abban dodged all of them, and Abban slid to the ground and stabbed his leg with the horn, Woodwraith kicked Abban in the guts with his other leg before he fell to his knees. Abban blocked his kick with the horn but still flew meters away, but he stood up instantly, bleeding from his mouth. He cleaned drops of blood with his arm, as he ran towards him again. But this time Woodwraith caught Abban with his hands now had become whips before Abban could reach him. Woodwraith picked Abban in the air, with one hand. He tried to crush Abban's bones but, Abban sliced through the hand with the horn. Cutting his whole arm off, before Woodwraith could stand up on his feet Abban stabbed his face, throwing spilling lava from the forehead. But killing a Djinn wasn't that easy. Abban took out the horn, half broken, and stabbed his heart and then again stabbed his guts then stabbed his both eyes and when Woodwraith fell on the ground Abban took his other horn off and pushed it into one ear to the other. The fire in his eyes and mouth went out. The darkness around him disappeared as well. Abban threw the horn away and turned back. Zayan was sitting on the ground enjoying the show, while Anny was still standing there, trembling with fear. Abban started walking towards the wall. 

"There are eight corners in the wall making it shape like an Octagon; each corner is occupied by one Hellguard. They don't sleep, don't even blink, just eat and watch outside so no soul tries to touch the wall. They don't bother themselves with conflicts that happen outside the wall or inside the wall, all they care about is, protecting the Blood Wall. One of them must have seen you killing that Woodwraith."

"The wall is 50 meters thick, making it impossible to drill; it's too high to climb. So, the only options are, from the front gate or we start flying." Abban sat down on the ground with Zayan, he seemed lost in thought. "Propose a plan, Zayan. We are going to kill the eighth Hellguard, Zephyrclaw. So, which one is his corner?" Zayan stood up, "He is the strongest so, and he protects the backside of Djinn Lord's Mansion. As for the plan, all we have to worry about is how we get up there without him noticing, and how we kill the strongest Hellguard, and" he pointed his finger towards Anny and shouted, "Why the hell did you bring her with us?" Abban just sat there, with his hand on his right cheek. After Zayan didn't get any answer he just smirked. "Okay, brother." Zayan picked up a stick and drew an Octagon, "The only way is climbing, I don't think Zephyrclaw will do anything, I mean would be dying of boredom up there, he will let us reach the top so he can slaughter us. They don't get intruders often; the last time was decades ago that someone came near Blood Wall." Anny was still standing, thinking nothing but how big of an idiot they both were. But she wasn't intelligent enough to figure out why she was brought here. The thought didn't even cross her mind.

"And we have a bait--" Said Zayan; Abban stood up, Zayan continued, "You can use your crossbow to shoot an arrow in the wall. We will climb on the wall by the rope attached to the arrow." Zayan started walking towards the wall. "Let's go." Abban didn't say anything and walked forward. He took his robe off from his hand, there was a crossbow attached to his left hand, he grabbed an arrow from his hip belt and put it in the crossbow. Then aimed towards the top of the wall, "The rope is 30 feet, we will have to hang on the wall and then use the crossbow to throw another arrow, and it's not going to hold if two of us climb at once, so you go first and then I will tie her up and when I reach up there we will pull her up." Zayan explained; that Abban had taken a shot, right in the wall. 

Abban started walking on the wall while using the rope to pull him up. When Abban reached the arrow, he made a hole in the wall with his knife so, he could hang without putting any weight on the arrow. Zayan smiled standing down the wall. He tied Anny with the edge of the rope and then he started climbing. Anny stood on the ground, tied with the rope, when Zayan reached Abban he sealed his knife into the wall to hang on the other side of the arrow from Abban, "Let's pull," Zayan shouted, and then they both started pulling the rope up, along with Anny who was tied to the rope. She was crying her eyes out, but not once time he scream along the way.

    Anny hung with the arrow, Abban took the rope off from the arrow that was attached to the wall, and then he took another arrow and tied rope with it, then shot the arrow just a few feet down from the chamber of Zephyrclaw. Abban was about to start climbing when they saw blue eyes looking down on them from up there. That thing looked at them for a second then backed down to its chamber, "At last someone came, I was just about to die of boredom." Zephyrclaw thought to himself before he sat down on his throne like chair a few stairs up. Abban started climbing the wall, "Looks like I was right," Zayan sighed. When Abban reached the arrow he stood on it and grabbed the window's bottom side and pulled himself up. That's when he laid eyes on the Eighth Hellguard, Zephyrclaw. His body was wrapped around with zinc and blue colored cloths; even his mouth was covered with a scarf, blue fire coming from his head. He had four hands and no legs, only rags in place of legs floating in the air. He wa

    "You survived that! You are the strongest humans I have ever met, no one in the past made me use this much Djinn force." Abban stood up straight and took out something from the back of his robe, it was as big as Zephyr's sword, maybe even bigger but it wasn't a sword for its handle was 5 feet long and a big axe-like head, a weapon in ancient times used by great warriors, Gandasa. Abban always had it but, never used it on humans, it was big and only a foot of handle was visible when he had it in his robe. Gandasa, a legendary weapon and a fearsome one, not everyone can use it for its heavy and too big to swing around. Zayan's face lightened up, "I knew he would use that, I was waiting for it." Abban held Gandasa with both hands, not from the handle but from its head; Zephyr seemed confused and surprised by the shape of the weapon because he had never seen anything like that in his life. He floated a few feet towards Abban, the second Abban came in his range he swung his sword and trie

    The man who came out from Zephyrclaw's body was lying down on Abban's floor. Zayan was sitting in the corner right next to Abban, while Hania was standing in front of the washroom door. "We shouldn't have brought him here," Zayan says, "He came out from a Djinn, how many humans do you know who come out from Djinns?" He looked at Abban, "Come on, say something, I've been talking since we got here."Abban was sitting on the ground with no armor on, just a simple black torn-up shirt. He had wounds on his right arm and he was bleeding on the floor. He just looked at Zayan and ignored him.Zayan stood there a minute or two, then suddenly, started kicking the man's unconscious body, "Wake the hell up you stupid little shit!" He shouted as he kicked him over and over. "Stop it!" Abban said with a calm voice. Zayan stopped kicking; his golden bangs were covering his face. He tied them up and sat down slowly. "What are we waiting for now?" Zayan asked, Abban sighed and stood up, his both hand

    4 years ago, Nothing in sight but darkness. Suddenly, the door opens, and light wanders into the room from the door. A man walks into the room, and he had black hairs and he was wearing glasses. He didn't seem like a big guy. He was not more than 5 feet. But, he was wearing a white long coat that touched the ground. Nothing else was visible. Suddenly, he stops and looks down; a boy is chained to the ground. One of his hands was nailed to the ground, the other one chained to his wrist. He had scars all over his body; more than half of his wounds were still open, showcasing his internal organs. But he wasn't screaming or crying. He was smiling, lying on the ground with nothing but a torn-up rag instead of pants and nothing on his upper body. His dark black hairs were shining like a sky on a full moon. Both eyes closed. "Are you enjoying yourself?" The guy with a white coat asked, "I am hungry, and I am losing too much blood. Get me something or this body might faint, doctor." The other

    “What do we do now?” Zayan asked Abban, they both were sitting in the bar, around a table. “You defeated 1 Hellguard and more than a hundred Woodwraiths. They will come for you, The Hellcops. A human capable of killing a Djinn meets his end and killed—not killed, but stole a Hellguard. What’s next?” Hellcops— a unit of A-grade Djinns—their main goal is to find out Hellborns who have committed one of the 5 deadly sins-- killing a Djinn, becoming stronger than a Djinn, leaving his post as a Hellborn, and stealing from Djinn King. Abban eyed Zayan, his eyes dead as always, not a shred of emotion in them. “I can deal with Hellcops.” Abban takes a sip from his drink and shifts his gaze towards his Gandasa which was resting in his lap. “You killed hundreds of Djinns, you are stronger than many Djinns, you are also going to leave your seat as a Hellborn and join SRA (Soliden’s Rebel Army) and you stole a Hellguard from Djinn King. You have committed all five of The Great-Sins.” “They will

    All Hellborns stood up the second those monsters busted in the bar. “They are the Twins, they are one of the strongest Hellcops. I would have known they would send them.” Zayan thought. Abban looked at them, picked up his Gandasa rested it on his shoulder, and walked a few steps closer to the Hellcop as if he already knew this was going to happen. He had his Gandasa in his right hand. When he was in the range, Abban picked the Gandasa up and struck the one standing in the front, his name was Valefar. But, he jumped back, he had amazing reflexes. “Good try,” He charged forward, Abban swung his heavy Gandasa once again but someone stopped it. It was Batibat, the other Hellcop. Before Abban could pull his Gandasa back, Valefar struck him in the chest with his fist. Abban flew a few feet away with his Gandasa but he maintained his balance and didn’t fall. Abban once again charged forward, Valefar rushed to him before he could reach them. Abban swung his Gandasa from right to left, and Val

    Batibat rushed towards Abban, but he didn’t move he just stood there, bleeding—eyes on the ground, standing with the help of Gandasa. Suddenly, everyone saw something they thought they would never see, a smirk on Abban’s face. Never did he ever changed his expression, but now he was smiling. It looked creepy, because his left eye became totally black. The darkness filled in his left eye as he looked at Batibat who was coming to kill him. He suddenly stopped and gulped, terror in his face was clear, he froze there. Abban slowly walked near him, dragging his Gandasa behind him. He still had a smile on his face. Abban picked up his Gandasa with just one hand. He smirked again and with a swift strike he sliced both of his legs with his Gandasa. Batibat’s upper body slowly started falling down from its lower part. But Abban didn’t wait for his body to fall down, he struck Gandasa once again and took his head off and crushed the floor along with it. Abban tripped backwards but maintained

    Rameel stood there gazing at the meteor-sized mud ball on its way to destroy the whole clan, the whole Kabila, in mere seconds. But suddenly he seemed not troubled by their doom. Like he need not worry about them but himself at the moment. Rameel turned his back towards the House he honors, his family, and his dear friends. He smiled and spun on his leg and sat down on the ground. "Traps? What a pain, I hate people who like to do tricks and not face their opponent head-on. You see I am not a guy who likes playing games, I seek to end war before it's even begun." He said while looking at the snow beneath him as if he was talking to another man. He covered his right hand with metal, "Metal Creation Prodigy: The Black Metal." He said, and punched through the snow and ground itself. He tightened his grip on something like he had found something buried down there. And pulled his hand out, and the ground busted open as Rameel stood up and pulled a man from the ground. He was a skinny man

    Shut Up And Follow Me

    After a long sleep, Zayan woke up, it was daytime, and the red-blooded sun was shining in the sky. Zayan looked around to find Abban but, he was nowhere to be seen. Anny was cleaning the floor, where Abban had slept. She was sitting and brushing the blood off the ground with a wet cloth. Zayan became curious, 'What the hell is up with her? She isn't afraid of us; people die of a heart attack just by laying eyes on Abban. And she said that he stinks and now she is cleaning his room. Could it be?' He frowned and stood up instantly, he took a blade off the wall and placed it on her neck, Anny fell backward with sudden shock and fear, her eyes filled with fear of death. She started shaking to the bones. "You are a spy, aren't you?" Anny felt not only fear but, her life flashing before her eyes, 'I'm going to die, and he is going to kill me.' "What do you think you are doing?" Abban jumped in through the window, "She must be a spy, that's why she is staying quietly here, she isn't even a S
