With precision, Kline grabbed anything he could find to use as makeshift bandages and medicine.

He assessed John and Robert's injuries carefully, knowing that every second counted.

He was no healer, but he knew the basics of first aid and how to keep a wound clean.

Robert's injury was the most severe, and Kline knew that if they didn't act fast, it could get infected and turn into something far worse.

He quickly applied pressure to the wound and did his best to remove any ice shards that were still embedded in Robert's face.

Meanwhile, John's leg wound was stabilized, but Kline knew that they needed to find a place to rest and recover before they could even think of escaping.

"John, you know our situation," Kline said, looking at him seriously.

"We won't be able to escape as we are now. We need to lay low in one of the destroyed buildings until we recover some energy for escaping. We'll grab Robert and hope his situation doesn't worsen."

John nodded in agreement, his face grim. They w

    The passage of time had healed some of the wounds inflicted by the heretics, but the scars remained, both in the physical destruction of the city and in the emotional trauma of those who had witnessed the battle.Despite this, life had gone on in Nodnol, as it always does. The Order had vanished from the city, leaving behind a void that was slowly being filled by other factions vying for power.The city's skyline had changed dramatically in the year since the battle. Tall, imposing structures now loomed over the city, casting long shadows that stretched across the streets below.The bustling sounds of industry and commerce could be heard everywhere, as the factories churned out their products and the markets overflowed with goods from all over the world.Despite the changes, some things remained the same.

    Robert Blackwell winced as the throbbing pain in his head continued to persist, growing stronger by the minute."Ouch, damn headache!" he exclaimed, clutching his forehead."My head is throbbing so badly!" he muttered to himself, trying to take deep breaths to calm down.Robert Blackwell woke up feeling as if someone had ruthlessly given him a beating.His head was throbbing so badly that he could barely move his limbs.He tried to make sense of his situation, wondering why he had such a headache and if he was going to die young.As he struggled to regain his senses, his vision was blurred for a moment, before he saw the wooden desk in front of him with a notebook and books arranged neatly.The desk was made of oak, and its surface was smooth and polished. The books were of various sizes and colors, with titles ranging from philosophy to mathematics.His headache continues and as he rubbed his temples, he noticed a glint of light reflecting off something on the desk.He moved closer t

    "John? Who is John?" Robert Blackwell thought to himself.Nevertheless, he decided to open the door and find out.As he opened the door, he was greeted by a tall, well-built man with a rugged face and a stern expression. He was wearing a long coat and a wide-brimmed hat, and he had a revolver holstered at his waist."Thank God, you're finally awake," said the man."We have to leave this place right now. The enemy is closing in, and we don't have much time.""Enemy? What enemy?" asked Robert Blackwell, still confused.John gave him a look of exasperation. "Don't you remember anything? We're on a mission to retrieve the artifacts from the temple of the Crimson Moon. The enemy, the Black Hand, is after the same artifacts, and they're willing to kill us to get them."Robert Blackwell's head was spinning. He had no memory of any of this. But he could sense the urgency in John's voice and the gravity of the situation.He nodded, and the two men quickly left the room and made their way down

  • Unknown Deity   Real Fight

    Robert breathed a sigh of relief as he surveyed the aftermath of the battle.His group had emerged victorious against the Black Hand, but not without losses.Several of his fellow group members lay dead or wounded on the ground, and the toll of the fight was etched on the faces of those who remained.Robert's thoughts were interrupted by a voice behind him."Well done, Blackwell. You've proved your mettle today."Robert turned around to see a tall, slender man with a neatly trimmed beard and piercing blue eyes.He was wearing a tailored frock coat, dress shirt, and trousers, along with polished leather shoes, an odd contrast to the chaos of the chamber."Who are you?" Robert asked, his gaze narrowed suspiciously.The man smiled."My name is Alexander Kline. I'm the leader of this expedition. I've been watching you Robert, and I must say, impressive work. But now it's time for you to step aside."Robert's suspicions deepened."What do you mean, step aside? This was our mission, not you

  • Unknown Deity   Ascendants

    Robert still couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. The scene before him was like something out of a horror movie.The once menacing figure now lay headless at his feet, a crimson pool of blood slowly expanding from the gaping wound.He felt a mix of emotions that he couldn't quite put his finger on. Relief that the danger was finally over, but also a deep sense of horror at the brutality of the act.Kline, who had just wiped the blood off his sword and sheathed it, turned to Robert, who was still in shock staring at the headless body.Robert had so many questions swirling around in his head, but the most pressing one was how the man had managed to get up after being shot in the head several times. It defied all logic.Robert asked the question in his mind to Kline,"How is it possible for that man to get up after being shot in the head several times? It doesn't make any sense."Kline looked at Robert with a serious expression."He was an Ascendant, Robert. What you just witness

    Kline turned to the group, his expression serious and commanding."Listen up, everyone. We must regroup and tend to the wounded as our first priority. In addition, we must also respectfully bury our fallen comrades. Let's work together to accomplish these tasks quickly and efficiently."Robert could see the chaos and devastation around him.Dead bodies littered the ground, and the stench of death hung heavy in the air.He felt a lump form in his throat as he thought of the families and loved ones who would never see these people again.Another thing that caught his attention were the horse-drawn carriages lined up on the street, waiting for their passengers.Robert was taken aback. He had seen such vehicles only in history books and movies. He had a sudden flashback of an era with more modern vehicles, and he started to question his reality."Who am I, and where am I?" Robert wondered to himself. He felt like he had been thrown into a world that was both familiar and foreign at the sa

    The scene is chaotic as the bloodsucker suddenly launches forward with incredible speed, almost too fast for the eye to follow.In one fluid motion, he pounces on the unsuspecting driver, grabbing hold of his neck with a vice-like grip.The driver's eyes widen in terror as he feels the sharp points of the bloodsucker's fangs pierce his skin, sending waves of excruciating pain through his body.As the bloodsucker feeds, the driver's body begins to weaken, his skin turning pale as his blood is drained from him.His screams echo through the air, a chilling sound that sends shivers down the spines of the onlookers.It's a horrifying sight, made all the more gruesome by the sight of the bloodsucker's mouth covered in the driver's blood.As the bloodsucker continues to feed on the driver, the man's struggles become feeble and weak.His arms flail weakly, his breaths coming in ragged gasps. His face takes on a sickly pallor, and his eyes glaze over as the life is drained from his body.They

    Aftermath

    In the aftermath of the devastating battle, The Order's soldiers were on high alert.It didn't take long for the BlackHand to make their presence known, as they began to group together, seemingly with the intention to convert, kill, or imprison any remaining members of The Order.Two men dressed in black coats, adorned with black breastplates bearing the emblem of an open black hand, approached Kline, Robert, and John."We suggest you lay down your weapons and surrender peacefully," one of the men stated, in a calm and collected tone.Kline's eyes narrowed, his grip on his own weapon tightening."It appears that even amidst this chaos, the BlackHand continues to hound us like a pack of rabid dogs," he spat back.The other man stepped forward, his hand hovering over the hilt of his two swords."I suggest you watch your tongue, boy," he growled. "Surrender now, or face the consequences."Kline exchanged a glance with Robert and John, and they all knew what was at stake.They could eithe

    Marduk vs Crone

    The two gods were evenly matched, and their attacks and counters were so swift that it was difficult to keep track of them. Marduk continued to summon spears of light, while Crone unleashed her tentacles and shadow blades in quick succession. The air was thick with the sound of clashing weapons and explosive energy. As the fight continued, Marduk was becoming increasingly fatigued, and his attacks were starting to become weaker. Crone, on the other hand, seemed to be gaining strength with each passing moment. If Marduk didn't finish this soon, he would be in serious trouble. Marduk seemed to sense this as well, and he suddenly changed his tactics. Instead of summoning more spears of light, he began to focus his energy into a single, massive blast. The air crackled with energy as Marduk gathered his power, and Crone watched him warily. With a sudden burst of speed, Crone launched herself at Marduk, her tentacles and shadow blades striking out with deadly precision. Marduk dodge

    The Descent of Gods

    All seemed like it was over, but out of nowhere a strange and ominous energy filled the air, causing a sudden stillness to descend upon the area. The world around them seemed to blur and fade away, leaving only a swirling mass of blood that coalesced into a pulsating sphere. The pressure emanating from the sphere was so immense that time itself seemed to stop, freezing everyone and everything in place. Not even a breath could be taken, nor a movement made, as they were trapped in this suspended state. It was as if the very fabric of reality had collapsed in on itself, leaving them stranded in an endless void. The sudden halt of time seemed to suffocate everyone. It was as if the universe itself had come to a standstill, with no movement or sound to indicate any sign of life. The once chaotic battlefield was now eerily silent, as if death had taken hold of everything in its grasp. The air was thick with anticipation and fear, as each passing moment felt like an eternity.

    The Ritual

    As Mary stood in the midst of the battle, her eyes blazed with an otherworldly light.Her once serene countenance now twisted with determination as she tapped into her newfound powers, drawing energy from the nuns around her.The air crackled with electricity as she channeled the energy, her hair standing on end and her robes billowing around her.John being the skilled marksman that he is, took aim at the nuns with his trusty revolver.He knew that stopping her from drawing power was crucial to turning the tide of the battle.He fired bullet after bullet, each one expertly aimed at the demonic nuns surrounding Mary.The bullets found their mark, disrupting Mary's concentration and causing her to falter in her power gathering.Robert joined John in the effort to disrupt Mary's power source.He shot his revolver with a fierce determination, injuring any nun who dared to get close to Mary.John's revolver gleamed in the dim light of the battlefield, a beacon of hope for his comrades as

    The Mother's Chosen Appears

    As the battle raged on, the once-beautiful city of Nodnol was now unrecognizable.The smell of smoke and death filled the air, and the once-bustling streets were now eerily quiet, except for the sounds of battle in the distance.The Blackhand soldiers were doing their utmost to protect the innocent civilians and prevent the destruction from spreading to other areas of the city.In one district, the fighting was particularly intense, with explosions and gunfire shaking the ground. Buildings were reduced to rubble, and corpses littered the streets.The cries of the wounded and dying echoed throughout the district, a haunting melody of pain and suffering.But in another district, the scene was completely different. Children played in the streets, laughing and chasing each other.The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the only sounds were the chirping of birds and the gentle breeze rustling the leaves of the trees. It was as if this part of the city was untouched

    War on Heretics

    The air was tense with anticipation as soldiers from The Order and Black Hand stood in formation, their eyes fixed on the surrounding areas.They were ready to engage in battle, with their weapons at the ready and their determination set in stone.The heretics had been causing chaos in the city for far too long, and it was time to put an end to their reign of terror once and for all.The Order soldiers, their revolvers shining in the sunlight, stood at the forefront, their daggers glinting menacingly in their belts.The Blackhand soldiers, clad in some black armor, stood just behind them, their weapons at the ready.Their mission was clear: to protect the innocent civilians from harm, while The Order purged the heretics from the city.As they waited for the battle to begin, the leaders of each division received a message that sent chills down their spine."It's time to erase the heretics from our city."Those simple words carried with them a weight of responsibility and duty that coul
