2024-10-29 19:42:56Edgar 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.
WHIT 166 - THE DIRTY WORK
On the evening of the same day.Fabby and others were riding a large gray frog they had recently defeated. Out of the four, only Edgar was sleeping, even though the frog had been jumping on top of the canopy. All four of them were almost healed, at least for outer appearances.“It’s traveling so messily,” Gossini complained. “We should’ve caught a flying beast.”“Flying beasts are harder to control, let alone tame,” said Tenzai. He was the one who dealt the last blow and brought the frog into submission.“But still..” Gossini felt like she was about to vomit.“Haha,” Fabby made the frog stop by scratching on its head. Every time Fabby did that, the frog f
WHIT 167 - THE MYSTERIOUS MERCHANT
At around ten in the night.On top of a giant boulder the size of a small hill, Fabby and others were present.Tenzai was on the lookout. Everyone else was sleeping, including the frog. He, too, was yawning.“You’ve been fighting every beast that came our way,” Gossini said. “Get some rest. I’ll take the shift.”“I thought you were sleeping,” Tenzai was a little surprised.“I tried,” replied Gossini. “But… this rock is still hot.” She glanced at Fabby and Edgar. “It’s surprising how they can sleep on this surface.” Even though she had laid a cushioning carpet on the rock, she could still feel the heat.

Right before dawn.“Finding you wasn’t easy,” Black Broom landed near the waterfall.Numo was sitting cross-legged right under the heavy waterfall. He soon came out of the pool and released drive to quickly dry his clothes. “The man in black… Are you the mysterious merchant who’s been roaming around these woods and selling precious things to disciples these past few days?”“Why do you ask when you already know?” Black Broom smiled faintly. “The young patriarch has asked me to sell goods to those I consider worthy. The Youth Games are nearing, after all.”“Do you have a beast core for me, too?” asked Numo.Black Broom grinned before tossing a wooden
WHIT 169 - GRIPPED BY FEAR
Fabby and others were at the base of a 17,000 meters tall mountain named Sorzy.“This one’s quite big,” said Gossini as she couldn’t even see the top. “We don’t know what kind of monsters are living up there.”“This is one of the biggest ones in these Worry Chains,” Tenzai couldn’t wait to explore. “That’s why we chose it, remember?”“We have three days before the mission’s deadline,” Fabby reminded her team. “If we can find a bird and control it, then we can make it back in time.”“Let’s stick close to one another,” said Edgar, leading the group. “There will be enemies up ahead that we can’t face alone.”
WHIT 170 - TURNING BACK
Before Tenzai’s fist reached the elk, an earthen wall rose between them.“What the—” Tenzai’s whole body banged into the wall, and he crashed down. The elk, on the other hand, rammed its way through the wall, but both its antlers and feet missed Tenzai.Pillars rose out of the ground and randomly smashed the elk from different directions, and when Tenzai looked in Fabby’s direction, she signaled him to abort the mission by making x mark with her fingers.“Tch,” Tenzai didn’t like that, but he listened to her and turned away. “It’s your lucky day, horny beast.”As the elk caused destruction all around, Fabby’s team came down the mountain in the same path they had climbed.

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

268 - DRAGON THAT DEVOURS ALL FLAMES
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

266 - PERSONAL MISSION
“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

264 - THORNS AND THISTLES II
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
