7th Block, Way FallsCassio stood in his rented apartment, staring around his new home. He almost frowned, seeing that it could not compare with his former home.This apartment was a very small one with two sofas and a table standing in the center of the room. There was a fireplace in the wall which was already burning with the ember firewood, yellow flames crackling and dancing around the firewoods. At the far end of the apartment was a small sized bed, small enough for him to even stretch while sleeping."What's the point of sleeping if you can't stretch," Cassio scoffed, dissatisfied with the outlook of the apartment. He couldn't help but feel that he had been cheated over the 100$ he paid to the whimsical looking landlord who looked as if he could do virtually anything for money.The walls are even old and the paint faded, Cassio was almost fuming in anger. And to think he wasted 100$ for something as old and shabby looking like this made him to almost vomit blood!Actually, he ha
It was night, the moon appearing in the dark sky, gibbous but radiant. Countless stars dotted the sky, spreading infinitely like draperies. Nocturnal sounds filled the atmosphere, bringing the silent night to life.Swoosh!The wind blew through the surrounding, dank and filled with coldness brought from the sea. Its movement caused trees to sway gently and leaves to rustle like squeezed dollar notes, bringing a certain eerie feeling to the surrounding.A house stood secluded from the other houses in Way Falls, Excalibur City. It was surrounded by tall trees which brought an unusual darkness to the surrounding the house was located in. A feeling of eerieness was dispelled through out this place, as if it was haunted.In the house was a man dressed in a hooded black robe, several red candles surrounding him and forming complex shapes on the ground. These candles burned slowly with an usual colour which was too grotesque to be described. The flames which snaked atop the candles exuded an
That same night, several Combat Police paraded the streets vigilantly, their swords strapped to their sides. Most of them were Tier one while a very few were Tier two. They ignored the whistling of cold wind, the swaying of trees, rustling of leaves and eeriness of the atmosphere and continued with their patrols. They were very confident in themselves as they believed no being would dare to ambush them in the night.Excalibur City was the capital of Knyghtdom and so, it had most of the manpower here. There were so many hidden powerhouses which made it impossible for enemies to breech the city. Although these powerhouses were not always around, when danger came all of them would appear like thieves in the night. Also, the patrolling Combat Police were powerful Knyghts themselves and could combat any threat within the confines of Tier one and two and sometimes inchoate Tier three which was equivalent to Array five—a continental level threat."Those rogue cultivators escaped under the no
Boom!Ken Orion struck the flowers which surrounded Raith, filling them with pressure. The attack caused the whole environment to tremble and the ground to sink in, burying several houses. If the civilians had not been evacuated on time, they would have been buried alongside the houses.Pfft!The flowers all melted, transforming the whole ground into mud tainted with pinkness. The whole surrounding was then affected, transforming it into a pink marsh!Ken wielded his sword as he slashed the air continuously, creating illusory arcs. The illusory arcs spiralled, sucking in whatever effect would have come with Raith's Pink Rose Effect attack."You can give up and just sleep with me," Raith said with a smirk as a gust of wind blew around her, raising her gown up from her legs so that her feminity could be seen."Sh*t!" Ken cussed as he felt the feminine and seductive auras seep into his Will Body, tainting it.Thump! Thump! Thump!His heart began beating as his desires surged up within hi
There were still many 'Raiths' in the city, appearing as the others were killed. The more they were killed, the more they appeared and in the end there were numerous doppelgangers that proved difficult to kill.Walter, Arthur, Chase and Cassio continued killing these doppelgangers till they finally came across each other.Arthur's eyes narrowed after seeing the two of them. They were none other than Dragon Saber Sefirah and Phoenix Sword Lex! He became more surprised after seeing the talking golden retriever who seemed to be Sefirah's companion. And to think the dog could do magic made his facial muscles twitch! He didn't know if it was a dream and wanted to tell himself it was a dream. But then, the reality presented itself plainly to him—it was not a dream!He wanted to draw his sword and attack them but couldn't as he felt he would be outnumbered. Also, they were helping him deal with the doppelgangers so he felt they were being chivalrous heroes.He was still contemplating on what
For three months, the ship drifted on the boundless sea. It billowed through the hazy waters, floating gently like a feather in the air. Everywhere was hazy, unable to see through or hear through—imperceivable. Dolphins leaped out of the sea, splashing gusts of water around. Whales billowed through the waters, blaring deep in the waters. Sharks snaked their ways through the aquatic haven, looking for preys. All these made Sea of Infinity quite interesting. Of course, one could only see these things when they were very close and not over 40 metres away from the ship.Cassio stood on the deck of the ship, gazing through the infinity and wondering about the mysteries of Sea of Infinity. Where did this Sea of Infinity lead to? Did it lead to other dimensional planes?And this became his assignment—solving the mysteries behind the Sea of Infinity. He spend time calculating, using laws and theories to solve the mysteries behind the Sea of Infinity and the end, he got something.The Sea of I
Cassio sat on a chair at the deck, eating a large plate of ambrosia. This dessert was among the packs of food that had been stalled away in the ship the day he left Knyghtdom, preserved with magic so that it could last for years until the magic spells preserving them was gone.The shredded coconut and oranges turned out to be very milky and sugary, blending into his taste buds. Other ingredients which he didn't know were interlaced with the dessert, making it an ambrosial and sumptuous meal he couldn't stop eating. He had been actually eating this same food for days. The more he ate, the more it became tastier and in the end, he had finished packs of the dessert in a few days—packs which would have lasted a family of five for a month.Selene walked towards him and sat on the bare floor, staring at him in amusement. With a giggle, she asked, "Is this how humans eat?""..."Cassio was embarrassed as he slowed down his eating pace, staring ahead so that his eyes didn't meet hers—it would
As the ship drifted towards the seaport, the haze cleared and everything became visible. Anchored to the harbour were many ships and boats but surprisingly, only a few people were at the seaport.Cassio sighed and wanted to remind Selene that they were approaching the seaport when he noticed she was gone."..."He was very much shocked about how she could suddenly disappear into thin air without his knowledge. And to think he was a Magician in the School of Alchemy made it more alarming!He was alarmed and almost got agitated when he received a message in his mind: "Don't worry my love, I'm coming. Just left to convey my thoughts to my coven."Cassio heaved a sigh of relief and muttered, "You could have told me, Selene. Why give me a heart attack!"The ship finally came to stop at the harbour, the gangway sliding out of the ship. Cassio walked out of the ship down the gangway, his hands at his back."Hey!" a man cloaked in black shouted in surprise. "How did you survive the mysterious
