Somewhere in MythVille CityOut of the puddle of water on the ground, Cassio emerged to the bewilderment of everyone. Traveller couldn't be used to travel over long distances so he had to keep using it to travel over short distances till he reached his destination.Everything was becoming fishy now. First, he was given the Book of Mysteries by Old Thompson. Secondly, he was transmigrated into this world by this Book of Mysteries. Thirdly, ever since his transmigration, this same Book was lost till this moment! He felt that some higher being was using him as a pawn in a chess game. But why? What pleasure would this higher entity derive from toiling with someone as low as him? He suspected Ulf and couldn't help but quiver in fear. This eldritch being who he thought had been resolved was still bent on getting him."I need to escape outta here," Cassio said as he touched Traveller again, ready to activate it. He knew that no amount of explanation would stop the Arcane Guards from arrestin
There was no sun, no birds, no nothing. There was only fog which spread infinitely across the sea, tainting everything in a surreal haze. It was only by the magical spells on the ship that it could sail—the sailors wouldn't have been able to navigate the ship in such a hazy condition where nothing could penetrate.This was the month of September and the ship was still sailing. The sailors said it would three or four weeks before the ship would arrive at Knyghtdom, so everyone knew that the voyage through the Sea of Infinity was almost coming to an end. The ship didn't bump into pirates or other ships as the sea was infinitely vast without an end, being the point where infinite dimensions overlapped.Cassio sat crosslegged in his cabin, deep in meditation. He breathed in and out constantly, replenishing his Magical World. He was trying to rid it of any filth so that he could easily advance to the next Magic Array or Combat Tier since he was also a Knyght.It has been two months since h
On a ship which was also sailing on the sea stood a young man. He had brown curly hair and brown eyes, making his face very handsome. He was donned in a black leather trenchcoat, black leather trousers and black combat boots. A black hilted sword was strapped to his left side, giving him the air of a powerful swordsman.The man's face was expressionless, his brown eyes as cold as ice and unsmiling. He stared at the boundless sea for several moments, his hands behind him as he stood on the deck.Just then, a young lady walked up towards him. She had a purple hair, purple eyebrows and purple eyes. Her lips were full and had a faint touch of purple, making her look extremely charming. Dressed in a purple dress, she had an unnatural attractiveness. She exuded a powerful aura which didn't match her innocent and beautiful looks at all."You've been gazing at the sea for months, Walter," the lady said as she stopped to stand beside him, staring at him."The sea is boundless and Infinite, ove
Walter hesitated, staring at Cassio whose face carried no expression. If Cassio had not just accused him of killing his father and challenged him to a mortal combat, he would have thought Cassio wasn't angry. He didn't want to fight the kid.Cassio who saw Walter's hesitation decided to attack first. No matter what, he had to kill this so-called Destined One who caused the deaths of thousands of people, almost bringing the world to a surceasance. He would kill him once and for all!Frozen Sword of Karma!Cassio leaped towards Walter, illusory snow balls dancing around his sword. He soared through the air like a powerful eagle, his movement defying the laws of physics.At that moment, Walter felt his Magical World freeze instantly, affecting his Magical Body and Will Body. Even the spectators were not left out as they felt their souls and spirits shiver from the cold!Time slowed down as Cassio approached Walter, his right hand clasped around the hilt of his sword tightly. His long hai
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
Cassio and the others who were present on the battlefield and were still alive were healed by the clergyman who had just arrived to stop Walter. He was a Rank six Archbishop of the Church of the Moon and currently oversaw all the affairs of Arthur's City in place of the Prelate who wasn't always around. Like the other clergymen he was cladded in a white robe with silver threads embroidered across, a silver pendant with a moon emblem hanging down his neck. His hair was white as snow while his eyes were as blue as the sea and calm as the morning breeze. His aura soothed everything around, making the battle scene seem like a paradise. Unfortunately apart from Cassio, Ken and Louis every other knight who had attacked Walter lost his life. All of their corpses had being mangled beyond recognition, their armous shredded. "He's being dealt with," the Archbishop said as he pointed at Walter who was now unconscious with his right hand. His action was very smooth and graceful, making the t
A young girl walked towards a castle casually. She had sea blue eyes and white long hair resting on her shoulders, her facial appearance gorgeous. She was dressed in a white floral gown, making her look more graceful like a swan. But within those eyes which appeared calm, were waves of turbulence which seemed to swallow whoever looked into them.Soon she got close to the castle and saw several guards standing there with their long spears. They were all dressed in black full body armours with a red dragon emblem imprinted upon them. They all narrowed their eyes within the helmet visors when they saw her."Halt!" one of them shouted as he pointed his spear at her. "How did you breach the castle's defenses?"The young girl smiled before turning back to glance in a particular direction, "It was a casual stroll past those guards."The other guards couldn't help but look at each other before thrusting their spears at her. They didn't know if she had dealt with the other guards or sneaked in
As the clergyman stepped forward, the other knights couldn't help but tighten their grips around their swords. With the power of a Priest, there was nothing this fugitive would do to escape right now. He was nothing but a magician at the Magic Circle array and a knight at the Will Projecting tier. There was no way he was going through the entire army of Arthur's City plus the clergymen who can change circumstances with mere words. It was said that powerful ones could affect reality itself by just saying it. Apart from knights and magicians, clergymen were another group of insanely powerful individuals favoured by the Supreme Goddess!"You can choose to give up and resist, Walter Anderson," the Priest said. "You've suffered a lot and need to be relieved of your resentment."Walter slowly pointed his sword at the Priest before saying, "You're right. I've suffered a lot and need to relieve my resentment. And that's why I must not be captured!"Sword of Crying Phoenix!He immediately empl
Cassio walked around the market through the crowd of people as he looked at the items for sale. Many people cast their gazes at him in horror as they moved away to maintain a distance. No, they were looking at something wrapped around his neck."That kid...he's wrapping a mutated python around his neck like some accessory!""He killed it?""Definitely. Look, it's still bleeding!""He looks like one of the knights. He's so young!""Wait, isn't that the style of cloth for the royal bodyguards?""This kid must be terrifying!""Didn't you hear? He's Cassio Patrick, Prince Ken's bodyguard! It's said he's even a Swordsman!""Unbelievable!"While the knowledgeable commoners conversed among themselves, the ordinary ones listened with rapt attention as they asked questions. Of course Cassio heard them but he proceeded to walk without saying anything.Suddenly he heard several bells chime, signifying an alarm. Soon several knights ran through the markets, ordering everyone to retreat into their
Cassio moved along with Medusa silently, evading the guards who were patrolling the castle even in broad daylight. He sometimes used the trees as covers and sometimes the statues. Several times the guards would hear footsteps which no doubt belonged to Medusa (who wasn't as nimble as Cassio) and run in that direction. But by the time they were there Cassio was long gone with Medusa. He moved like the wind.Soon they successfully arrived a concealed tunnel on Medusa's direction. This tunnel had a metallic door blocking it. Medusa didn't fret as she took out a hairpin from within her dress, slotting it into the keyhole before turning it professionally."How long have you been doing this?" Cassio couldn't help but ask. With the way Medusa was familiar with the whole lockpick it seemed she had used years to practise this action before becoming a master at it.Click!The door was unlocked and Medusa pushed it open with a smile, "First time I came to the castle I was so depressed and left o
Medusa clutched her stomach as Cassio led her to the servants quarters. As they went through the hallway she couldn't help but stagger like a drunkard as she blabbered. She even pressed her face to Cassio's face and muttered something about a god coming down to cook for her. Cassio was dumbfounded.I didn't know my cooking would be terrifying, Cassio thought to himself as he continued holding the girl. She slowly directed him to her room and opened the door. As a maidservant assigned to the prince's bodyguard, she was privileged to have a room of her own even though it wasn't grand. It was actually small with a small bed and a wooden cupboard. Despite this it was very clean without any sign of dust or cobweb.Cassio couldn't help but become embarrassed as he remembered the situation of his room. It was always very untidy if not for Medusa who always came to clean it up. This was due to his extreme laziness which was unparalleled just like his culinary abilities.Shifting the thought o
Clang! Clang! Clang!Series of white lights flashed as two blades clashed with each other. One was the blade of a large broadsword half the size of a adult while the other belonged to a saber."Being a knight is all about surviving!" Ken yelled as he continued attacking Cassio, forcing the latter to go defensive. He didn't even give him a slight chance of attacking. "One second of lagging and you're dead!"Cassio's hands were now becoming numb as he blocked Ken's terrifying strikes. Even though this Boxer had reduced his power by a big margin, his strength was still terrifying. When the two blades collided, Cassio could feel his blood boil. Every organ in his body screamed in pain as he blocked Ken's sword strikes.Ken slashed at Cassio's chest, his broadsword tearing through the air. Silvery ripples appeared in the sword's direction, heading alongside the sword towards Cassio.I've always being weak all my life, Cassio thought within himself as he lunged forward. I've never had a cha
There was silence in the underground cave for some moments before the genie cleared his throat and transformed into a little child with a puff of smoke. This child looked very normal and was dressed like a noble child, golden ornaments decorating his body. Seeing this Philemon couldn't help but widen his eyes which were shining brightly. He felt like snatching the genie lamp right now and becoming the genie's master. If he wished for more wishes that would be insane! Wishing for more genies would be unimaginable! On the other hand the Chief remained very reserved as he said, "There's no problem with that wish so you can grant it with immediate effect." This is why I don't do business with magicians, the genie couldn't help but frown slightly as he closed his eyes, "Coming up!" He then rubbed his chubby hands together, causing an ethereal energy to surround him. The cave trembled for moments as this ethereal energy split into several other energies. These energies had different
Some miles away from Arthur's City, Camelot's capitalSeveral horses neighed as they galloped across the desert, their long legs digging deep into the hot sands. The riders were all dressed in black outfits which seemed like bandages, hoods over their heads and masks covering their mouths. Scythes were strapped their sides or backs, their eyes narrowing with fierce gazes. This was none other than the Chaldeans, the most powerful and notorious bandits in Camelot. Now the Chaldeans had increased in number and they were now about one hundred skilled bandits.As they rode, only one individual remained in the front of the caravan. His eyes were even more fiercer than the rest and he had a terrifying aura around him. He would occasionally lashed at his black horse, making it neigh as it galloped faster. The others also did the same, following closely behind him.After riding for about an hour, the man in front, who was obviously the leader of the Chaldeans, halted. He raised his left hand u
