If Tenzai had failed to hear Reud coming and didn’t roll out of the ax’s line, his head would’ve gotten split into pieces.
Reud, however, continued to attack in the same manner. Tenzai continued to roll.
Soon, Tenzai ended up running into a tree.
Reud smiled through his eyes and swung the ax down, but this time Tenzai rolled in reverse and dodged the ax again. unlike the previous times, Reud wasn’t expecting that, so he was just a bit late in continuing his motion to resume attacking. Tenzai made use of this time pretty well by spinning on his back and kicking in Reud’s face by jumping up on his hands.

The trees weren’t dry, but their leaves still burned when Leesa’s hot slashes cut the trees.“Hey, you…” Leesa said in a demanding tone. “Why don’t you show me your face? If you’re less pretty than me, then I might go easy on you.”Gossini slowly raised her hand, making Leesa think she was gonna reveal her face, but then Gossini only showed her middle finger.Leesa’s face warped in rage. “Since you want to die so badly, I’ll give you just that.” Leesa lunged at her, thrusting her sword. “Steel Sting!” Her sword whistled through the wind.“Floating Swan Arts…” Gossini moved her arms in an elegant fashion before meeting the point of the sword with her palm thrust.

Fabby clapped her hands together. “Rock Burial!”Two hill-sized structures covered with spikes rose from either side of Feliz and squashed him in between as they fused into a single, bigger hill.Like a fish swimming through the water, Feliz waved his spear with his hands holding the spear at different places. The spear slithered through the rocks like a snake through a swamp, and Feliz made it out of the hill before it solidified any further.Fabby frowned. If only she was faster at merging, he wouldn’t have escaped. But there was no time to worry about her mistakes. Even though her breathing was disorderly, she did it again.“Rock Burial!”This time, the two hills were smaller than before, but
WHIT 160 - TOUGHENED WILLS
Reud swung the ax. It was more of a quick swing than a fully-charged one.Tenzai was already in motion, so he could only turn his head to the right, and the ax went right into his mouth, or so it seemed.To Reud’s surprise and annoyance, Tenzai stopped the ax with his teeth. When Reud pulled the ax, it didn’t come. He grabbed the ax with both hands and pulled once again, but in that time, Tenzai’s hand moved and gorged out one of Reud’s eyes, the left one.It all happened so quickly, and it left Reud in shock. He stumbled backward, covering his bloody eye socket with his hand and grunting in pain.Tenzai approached again, but Reud swung his ax randomly and put Tenzai away; however, Tenzai still had a faint smile on his face, even though the corner
WHIT 161 - EDGAR VS TRAVINO
After dealing with Reud—Fabby, Gossini, and Tenzai hastened their way to where the most destruction in the woods was happening at, a place not even the redback squirrels dared to approach.The big trees and their branches were either sliced up like fruits or burnt to crisp from their sharp and brutal attacks that were devoid of any mercy.Travino was blocking Edgar’s blades with bare hands. He made chopping movements that generated wind slashes powerful enough to slice through tough trees.Edgar’s electric slices weren’t half-bad, either. Every swing of his blade hissed through the wind and threatened almost anything it touched. Still, he couldn’t get the better of his opponent. Though there were moments when he shined, his attacks, overall, didn’t land enough to bring him the vic
WHIT 162 - ONE WORRY GONE
Edgar threw both of his fists at a time. “Double Cannon Bolt!”“Parallel Shatter!” Travino unleashed his fists as well.KA BOOM~~!!The impact of their mighty fists created a shockwave that blew away all the nearby rubble as it echoed throughout the neighborhood. Even the ground moved up and in ripples and leveled all the trees around.Both of them pushed each other with all their strength. In the end, Travino’s fists triumphed. Edgar got blown away. Travino used the opportunity and circularly twisted his ankle as he gyrated on one foot, and then he diagonally swung his leg upward at Edgar. “Boot Wheel!”A multi-layered red energy wheel flew toward Edgar and struck him hard in the che
WHIT 163 - TIRED OF THINGS
“Oh, so one of you knows about me.” Dina faintly smiled, almost amusedly. “This makes things easy.”Tenzai frowned as deep as his brows allowed. He only saw her once before when she was passing by his tree-house. Other foot disciples began to talk about her, and so he got to know a few things about her. Dina Spoon was a core disciple, probably the most infamous one, as she got known for her notoriety. She did a lot of cruel things, but to put it simple, her history was a mess.While panting, Edgar looked up at Dina. His sight was now mostly clear.Dina flickered something, and the item fell in the midst of the four. “Whoever eats that pill gets to leave.”They looked at the blood-red pill, and Tenzai signaled the others by subtly shaki
WHIT 164 - NOT A CHANCE
“Thunder Coil.” Edgar sent the electricity to his feet like a coil and blasted the air behind him, which in turn propelled him toward her with extreme speed and force, enough to put him at great discomfort. “Nggh!” He raised the spear and stabbed from top-right, aiming at her nape. “Die!”Dina was in the middle of turning.The spear went straight to her forearm and shoulder of her left arm and tore it apart from the rest of her body.“Krrgh!” Dina’s right fist was covered with spherical yellow energy, and she smashed his face. Edgar was blown back, but he immediately used the Thunder Coil and propelled himself back toward her. He shot the spear at her, but she spat the spoon and deflected the spear with it; however, Edgar closed the distance in time, and the lightning covering his hand now looked like a bird limb. “Thunder Claw!”The thunder-reinforced fingers slashed through the drive covering her body and cut up her face, but she somersaulted back and booted him in the chin, sending
WHIT 165 - THE CHANCE
Dina was looking at her severed arm, which wasn’t cut in a clean fashion, “If I go to that place fast, I may be able to get it attached.”In the background, a couple hundred meters away, the beetle flew into the pit.BAM~~!!A second later, four big chunks of meat was sent flying out of the pit. It was the beetle itself, which was killed thanks to all three of the people in the pit attacking it together.Dina turned around in startlement. Seeing her pet getting slashed into bits made even her frown a bit, but that frown soon turned into anger, and she dashed toward the pit. When she reached there, however, nobody was inside. And what’s more, five tunnels were opened inside. So she didn’t know in which direction they went. “I’m not good with sensing things.”Still, she knew where Edgar was. So she immediately jumped in his direction.A swan came flying out of nowhere and attacked her, crashing her down to the ground.“What the heck?” Dina landed on her feet and briefly chased the swan.

Edgar woke up, only to find himself in a pool of mud. He could feel that he was being healed by fish that were swimming in the mud and were nibbling at his skin.At first sight, it might look like they were eating him, but they were actually taking away the negative energy from his body, though he was not able to feel that.Edgar tried to grab one of those fishes, but they turned into pure mud, pleasantly surprising him.He looked at Fabby who was sitting in the distance, by the cliff. “What are these fishes, sis?”“Elder Gavin made them with his drive. He said they can suck away impurities from your body and make you stronger,” Fabby explained. “He said even your drive will get smoother and faster afterward. Also, the negative effect the beast cores have on our bodies can also be reversed, or so he said.”“Such a thing is possible with drive?” Edgar was both surprised and doubtful. “These fish are biting me, but I don’t feel any pain.”“Yeah. Just stay there until all those fish are

The eagle brought the siblings to a mountain range and dropped them next to Gavin who was weaving gloves with drive.He wasn’t surprised to see the position the siblings were in.“Here,” Gavin handed the gloves to the eagle, and it put the gloves on its feet and then screeched in happiness.“Haha, you like them, huh,” Gavin smiled. “They are durable as I knit them with my drive. So, don’t lose them.”Scree~!The eagle replied in a confident voice and then began to walk around happily in its new footwear.“They look like gloves, but they should be called socks, I guess?” Gavin wondered. “Ah, well, whatever…”Gavin then looked at the siblings, out of whom only Fabby was still conscious. She was trying to sit up, and it was taking her a while.“You don’t seem to have any external injuries. You are probably tired from using too much energy,” Gavin said. He sent a bullet of energy into her forehead, which didn’t hurt her but went straight into her brain and melted into it. This suddenly ga

270 - A DIFFERENCE TOO BIG
“Surfing Strike!’ Edgar’s foot viciously struck Ryu’s face and sent him flying high like a rotating paper fan. Any normal person would have had their head separated from their shoulders from that kick, but Ryu’s neck was flexible as well as sturdy as rubber.Ryu grabbed his head and stopped it from spinning before somersaulting and landing in the distance.“Huh?” Fabby was quite shocked by it. “Why is he not dead? Is he even human?”“His body is a bit special, you see,” Anarga smirked and then looked at Ryu. “But, hey, how could you get hit by that brat like that? You should be glad that there isn’t anyone else around, or it would have brought such shame.”Blood leaked from Ryu’s ruptured upper lip. He licked it and faintly smiled. “It’s been a while since I tasted my own blood.” His eyes turned red.“Oh, crap…” Anarga skipped backward. “You guys brought a disaster on yourself. When he goes into that frenzy mode, he’s unstoppable. Even I wouldn’t dare stand next to him because he can

269 - KNIGHT OF NIGHT
Anarga squeezed Edgar’s chest down, but when Edgar saw Ryu step toward his sister, he uttered, “Thunder Knight…”The ground beneath them cracked, and the air around them crackled. The very cliff itself vibrated in resonance with Edgar’s heartbeat.Anarga lost her balance just for a second. A double-edged lightning spear appeared in Edgar’s hand, and he thrust it right through her abdomen.She thought it would leave a hole in her, but it didn’t. However, it then electrocuted her to the point her clothes were half-burnt, and she looked like a semi-roasted grizzly bear.Ryu immediately clawed through the middle section of the spear and then took Anarga and jumped a few feet away. “How could you be so careless?”Anarga fell on one of her knees. Blood leaked from both corners of her mouth, even though she tried not to leak any blood.“Does it hurt that much?” Ryu asked.She gave him a glare.“I see…” Ryu then looked at Edgar, who was rising off the ground without the use of his hands, as th

Anarga’s body went into the rock, causing cracks all around her to spread for over thirty feet.Ryu’s feet were still locked by the earthen boots that Fabby had created, but he forcefully broke through them and whipped his leg at Edgar. “Dragon Knock!”“Ngh!” Edgar raised his left arm and blocked the kick with his forearm.Ryu’s foot forced its way through Edgar’s flame drive and struck his forearm and hit a nerve, sending a jolt of shock through to Edgar’s brain. On top of that, Edgar’s forearm got dislocated near the elbow.Ryu’s kick still sent a gust of energy over into the distance, which ended up blasting away a part of the cliff, shocking Fabby and Edgar.Fabby’s heart shook at that moment because if Edgar hadn’t deflected that kick, he wouldn’t have just got his arm dislocated. It was Edgar’s hunter-like instinct of parrying the kick at the last second was what saved him from experiencing a crushing defeat.Ryu didn’t even use drive. Whether he could even use drive or not, Edg

“Is this the best you can do?” Ryu said disappointedly. “I know you can do better, bald brat.” He treated Edgar as nothing more than a kid because he was much older than him. “Why don’t you show me what you got, or I’ll kill this bald girl.”Edgar, who was bleeding profusely from the chest, felt his soul stirring madly after hearing Ryu’s words.“Don’t listen to him,” Fabby said in a low voice. “We are not their match. Fighting them will only put us at a disadvantage. And there’s no one else here to stop the fight in case things go bad. It doesn’t benefit us in any way no matter how I look at it. Moreover, you are already badly injured.”Fabby’s words made total sense, but there was one thing that she didn’t consider. Edgar just couldn’t digest let alone accept the fact that Anarga Utsav had used her wind attack and pushed Fabby off the cliff. What if Fabby died from that?Edgar utterly disliked Anarga as well as Ryu. He didn’t want them to leave with a sense of victory.“Sis,” Edgar

“AHHH!” The siblings cried out in horror, mostly because of the pure shock value. Their eyes sprang out of the sockets. They totally didn’t expect that the eagle would do such a thing.Edgar was about to use his skill, but Fabby quickly said, “No, wait.”“Huh? Wait for what?” Edgar asked her back as winds viciously whipped at their faces.“Just wait,” she replied. As both of them kept getting closer to the ground, Edgar’s heart raced fast. “Screw this. I’m-” he was saying, but then the eagle suddenly came swooping down and caught both of them when they were about 100ft close to the ground and took them away with him.Edgar and Fabby held onto its talons so they wouldn’t fall.The eagle stopped by another mountain top and acted as if everything was okay.“You think I’ll thank you for saving our asses, you shitty bird!” Fabby punched the eagle hard in the face. “I thought I was going to die! You were the cause for scaring me near to death.”Even Edgar looked angry. His heart jumped in

Coming back to the present.The eagle had no idea who Edgar was, so Fabby had to do all the work except for flying. “Where is he?”She was worried for many reasons.The eagle even flew over the colosseum grounds, and she shouted for him, “Are you there, Eddie?”“Who’s that?” some masters and disciples wondered as she wasn’t clearly visible from below. “How rude of her to be flying over this place when the competition is still going on?”“He’s not here, either,” Fabby told the eagle to keep flying.As she kept looking around, she noticed someone bathing in an open pond. Just when she looked at him, he also looked up. She remembered his face mask. This was the same guy she met in a cave not long ago.Numo was not wearing a shirt right now, and his body was pristine white. It wasn’t muscular, but it still looked athletic and toned. It was very attractive, especially because he was a tall man.“Ahem,” Fabby looked away.After the eagle flew out of his sight, Numo continued rubbing his body

Months turned to years.Even though working in the fields had become a daily habit, so did the body pains. If not feet, then legs; if not legs, then back; if not back, then something else in the body took the turn. And by the time they got home, they were pretty tired, yet they wouldn’t be able to eat what they had produced or found.They were only given a limited amount of food such as corn or grains so they could make soup and live with it. The same plain soup with no vegetables in them whatsoever waited for them every night. And they were not paid anything else for their labor, for they were forced to work for the rest of their lives. There was no contract. Nothing. They were pretty much treated like cattle, or maybe even worse, with the only difference being their ability to talk. No matter how they were treated, they still worked hard, for most of them had reasons, be it their children and families.Fabby had Edgar, and Edgar had Fabby. Everyone had someone else they were willing
