WHIT 238 - FELLOW DISCIPLES
Tenzai, Azar, and Liam were stuck in Zone O.“What the hell are these vibrations?” Liam vomited from feeling sick. “They are affecting me through the drive.”“How do we even stop these sensations?” Azar also felt greatly troubled. He randomly attacked the ground with his fire attacks, but that didn’t cause any difference.Tenzai, on the other hand, was able to bear the vibrations better than the other two, even though he didn’t have drive. He was standing tall and grinning at their pathetic show.“How the hell are you looking so comfortable?” Liam couldn’t digest it. A foot disciple of another sect was able to do better than him who was one day supposed to lead one of the twelve supreme families? Was there anything more unsettling and shameful than that?“My body is toughened with the beast cores,” Tenzai proudly answered them. “My senses can take this much pressure, I guess.”Kenna Spie flew down and landed in between those three. Her gaze briefly fell on Tenzai before she looked at
WHIT 239 - COOPER ZHA
Many disciples stopped from entering Zone Q as a vast number of bubbles rose out of the ground and exploded upon touching anything.It wasn’t just the number but also the speed with which they rose that intimidated the disciples.If one wasn’t agile enough, they got blasted by the bubbles. Those without strong drive or high durability exploded into bits and pieces. It was just plain cruel they way some died.Edgar and Fabby also had to stop there alongside hundreds. While he wanted to try going forward, his sister grabbed his wrist so he couldn’t. They could hear other disciples talking.“It seems the top ten zones are going to be on another level compared to the rest.”“There must be quality skillbooks waiting to be picked. I wish I was stronger.”The outer disciples and even many of the inner disciples of various sects didn’t dare explore the higher grounds and chose to turn back.“Fighting for skillbooks in these types of environments is just suicidal,” Fabby pulled her brother awa
WHIT 240 - SIBLINGS TOGETHER (I)
Cooper’s gaze now turned to the siblings. “It’s your turn.” He waved his hand, and the red disc gave off vapors as it flew at them.It was so fast Fabby couldn’t react in time and get out of its way, not that it might help. Edgar flashed in its path and deflected the disc away. He was already covered in Flame Drive.“So you can use Flame Drive,” Cooper was a little surprised. “But so what?” Multiple spinning discs formed around his raised forefinger this time. He swung his arm like a whip. “Triple Disc Threat!”All three discs this time spun much faster and screamed through the air. He grabbed the sword with both hands and stomped forth. “Hell Shock!” The combination of electricity and flame drive formed a shockwave and clashed with the incoming discs and burned them away.Cooper slightly frowned. (This guy… His drive isn’t a big deal, but his lightning ability is a bit of a pain in the ass. And he’s able to mix them well enough to crack my concentrated ‘driven’ discs. He’s definitely
WHIT 241 - SIBLINGS TOGETHER (II)
The masters, grandmasters, and elders were all watching with interest as there were quite many fights taking place in Zone A and Zone B.The one who was causing the most impact in Zone B was Rick Dichoso, an outer disciple from Ogvi Warriors. His spear skills were threatening to say the least. It didn’t matter whether the opponent was close or far, he could take them down with similar effort.After taking down a group of three all by himself, he peered through the blizzard and noticed Edgar and Fabby. He pointed his spear almost parallel to the ground, with the tip slightly pointing upward. A pulse of energy coursed through his arm and traveled through the spear. “Bird Cannon!” A red energy bird flew out of the spear and missiled onto the siblings.“Watch out!” Fabby warned.“I know!” Edgar immediately unsheathed his sword and blocked the bird. It then exploded, sending both of them flying back. The sword fell out of his hand. “Kugh,” Edgar found his arm trembling.“Eddie!” Fabby worr
WHIT 242 - SIBLINGS TOGETHER (III)
The siblings had the air of confidence as they looked down on Rick who was on his knees and bound in drive-strengthened earthen chains. “Do you still consider us weak?” asked Fabby. Rick ground his teeth. “Don’t get ahead of yourselves, you ignorant fools!” He released a blast of drive around his body and managed to break free from the chains and also clear all the snow around him for almost twenty feet. His overdrive could be felt by the siblings. It stung their bodies and made them feel like they were near a stove. “Let me show you how weak you are!” Rick took out a new spear from his storage ring and lunged at them. “Cracking Spear Dance!” He attacked their bodies with his spear from left and right as well as up and down extremely fast. Edgar had to push Fabby away and take on the attacks with dual swords. In a matter of seconds, over a hundred attacks were thrown, and Rick’s speed and agility only kept increasing. Edgar was forced to use Flame Drive to fend off Rick’s attacks,
WHIT 243 - SIBLINGS TOGETHER (IV)
“Edgar, watch out!” Fabby howled.Dozens of disciples that had been watching their fight for a while now attacked Edgar almost from every direction.Edgar was always confident in his ability to hear things. However, in this Zone B, where there was a constant blizzard blowing about, hearing things wasn’t easy. Still, he heard a sword coming from behind, and he knew he had to move away, or the arm he was holding the skillbooks with would get chopped.His body reacted to his thoughts and moved away. As he predicted, someone attacked him with a large blade that just missed him.But Edgar still found himself frozen because a spear pierced him from the back and struck his shoulder. The four skillbooks fell before he could send them into his storage ring. Moreover, he was shocked because he couldn’t hear the spear at all, and it made him realize something as he jumped away from there. “He must have used sheerdrive to cover the spear. Dammit.”It was frustrating to jump away from the four ski

While the siblings were in midair, Riku slashed his sword with both hands. “River Cutter!” A ghastly-huge earthen crescent blade manifested out of his sword, cut through the ground and sky at the same time as it flew into the siblings.Fabby shot a weak earthen gauntlet at Edgar, pushing him off the incoming attack’s path. She created a block of earth under her foot and used it as a footing to jump back. In doing so, both the siblings dodged from the attack, which otherwise could have likely killed both of them.The crescent blade kept on going for a few hundred meters and went into Zone B, breaking its way through the icy ground where Tenzai was running away from Pallavi. And the attack went through the gap between them.Gabriella and Venel were just returning from the higher zones, flying over a bird that she had summoned, and they noticed the destruction happening in Zone A and saw Riku and Yuri. “Those two are certainly strong,” Gabriella opined.“They are from the Jigu clan, afte
WHIT 245 - SIBLINGS TOGETHER (VI)
A few moments earlier.Fabby was being squeezed by the earth from every direction, and she never felt so terrified and overwhelmed before. It was dark, scary, and she felt utterly powerless as the earth around her behaved like her worst enemy.She thought it was her end until she heard Edgar’s roar faintly vibrating through the ground, and her expression immediately changed. How could she give up when her brother was still fighting? The overwhelming fear turned into unbridled rage, and a burst of vibrational earthen energy blasted out of her body and destroyed the earth around her.The shockwave of the blast also forced Yuri and Riku to back away. “Whoa… what’s this?” Riku was surprised.“The earth is vibrating?” Yuri frowned as she could feel the vibrations through her feet. This reminded her of the feeling she felt a little while ago during the fourth round. (So it was her. What sort of beast core did she consume for her to be able to do this at her level?) “Terrene Sight.” Her pupi

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

271 - DAY BY DAY
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

267 - HOTTER THAN FIRE
“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

265 - LOVE AND DUTY
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
