Edgar’s heartbeat raised as he witnessed the cruelty and the wickedness of war. This no longer seemed like a simple war between mankind and beastkind. A violent, lawless war it was shaping to be.
Even though he was yet to raise his sword and put it to use, a strange burden was already weighing his heart down.
But that didn’t stop him from unsheathing his blades and arriving at the eight-limbed bear. His blade deflected an avalanche of claw attacks from its eight limbs.“Flowing Blade Floating Flower Arts…” to the shock of those who were watching, he slipped past its numerous attacks and got to its side.
The big bear violently swept its arm at him.
He hopped over its fast-moving arm, and a blinding swift horizontal swing of the blade followed

WHIT 48 - SHEEP'S BLOW
The sun almost sank down the horizon.A five-meter-tall elephant threatened to kill a group of defeated people by stomping over them, but Ashang appeared out of nowhere and landed on its neck and punched in its head with his cupped hands a few times, and the elephant crumpled to its feet and bled from its ears and moved no longer.“E-Even our spears couldn’t pierce that elephant’s skin, but he defeated it with his bare hands!”“As expected of one of the Four Masters, the First Master, Ashang! Thank you for saving our lives!”People tried to thank him but he roared in rage. “Shut up, you fools! You would’ve died if not for my interference. Don’t try to take on beasts that are out of your league! You didn’t come h
WHIT 49 - FAMILIAR FACE
A flock of over a hundred sheep poured into the town.“Those damned sheep…” Harley, the head of town guards, was watching the battle from the skies, and he didn’t like what he was seeing. A sparrow came from the side, but just as it got close enough, he shot it and blew its head off. “Let’s go, Keecha. We should lead those things to their graves.”His pet crow, Keecha, descended and flew over the houses. He warned the guards of the incoming threat with hand signals and also told them to guide the sheep in the path he showed.The guards then stood in the streets and blasted their pistols in unison and forced the sheep to change their direction. But even after the sheep were taken care of, the guards had to fight with other beasts such as mongoose, squirrels, rats, cats, snak
WHIT 50 - KILL OR BE KILLED
A rather small beast compared to the rest was giving a hard time to Edgar. It kept clawing him from every direction, while using other people and beasts’ bodies as springboards.“I can see it, but I can’t keep up with it,” Edgar frowned, for he could spot that one-meter-tall jackrabbit, but whenever he swung his blades, it somersaulted over the metallic weapons, or even sprang on top of those moving blades at times and dealt him deep cuts even though his body was shielded by Drive.It was evident that this jackrabbit got its eyes on him. It didn’t even have glowing eyes, yet it was so fast and nimble.After repeated failure, Edgar gave up on the idea of fighting it in his usual fashion as it didn’t feel like the time to compete with it. He used the ring and brought the crocodile&r
WHIT 51 - CLASH OF DRIVES
“Haaa!” Edgar took out the other sword and slashed it vertically at Russell. Russell blocked the blade with his forearm. Hard scales formed on his skin. And the blade couldn’t cut through it. Red energy then enveloped Russell’s whole body as he pushed Edgar’s blade away and headbutted Edgar in the chest. As Edgar got blown back, his foot smashed in Russell’s nose. Russell got sent packing up and backward more so than his opponent. Edgar landed on a table, and Russell stomped his feet on the wall, and both of them lunged at each other. BAM~~!! They met in a thunderous collision, and the shockwave sent Doce and all the nearby coins and tools flying away. <
WHIT 52 - NIGHT'S WOES
A mob of mongooses were hurrying toward an old age home because it didn’t have a door. The only guard stationed there had run away when he saw them coming from afar. Now, only the old people were left in that house. A few dozens of them, most of whom couldn’t even see or walk properly.As the mongooses closed in, an old woman with pale blonde hair and bent back stood near the entrance. She tapped the walking stick on the floor once, and the mongooses suddenly stopped. They forgot that they had the advantage of numbers and scattered away, like their lives depended on it.But the very next moment, the mad bull entered the same street. As it got closer, the old woman’s gaze sent chills down the bull’s spine, and it skidded into a halt and turned its tail and ran away without looking back.&ldquo
WHIT 53 - CLOSE TO DEATH
Harley led the sheep to the south-eastern corner of the town, directly into the wide quick mud, and they got stuck in it. They kept struggling to get out, and that made them sink deeper rather quickly.“Hmph, enrich the soil, you filthy sheep,” he muttered before flying away on his crow.Only seconds later, Lice arrived there. It tried to hop on top of the sheep to reach the other side and run away into the fields.Fabby, too, reached there and was out of breath. However, after seeing the monkey run away into the fields, she didn’t want to pursue it any further. It was just too dangerous to get far from the town because she heard that many beasts would be roaming all around the town for a few days after the war every time.Fabby’s gaze was now set

In a small room inside the hospital.“You are wounded badly as well. You shouldn’t go out,” the nurse warned Edgar.“Mm,” he nodded, resting on one bed. His forehead and shoulders were wrapped in bandages.Fabby was resting on one neighboring bed, which was a foot smaller in height. Both were connected by the copper tube that was transferring blood.“Luckily, both of you have the rare AB negative blood type,” the nurse said as she removed the needle out of his arm. “Otherwise, the situation could’ve been bad.”“Wait, why are you removing it?” he asked.“You’ve lost some blood, too. You’ll be
WHIT 55 - THE ELEVEN-HORNED RHINO
Towering almost two-stories tall, the eleven-horned white-skinned rhino weighing over ten-thousand kilos was thrashing its way through houses. The brick walls, the wooden walls, and even the stone walls couldn’t stop its momentum.Even though a ten-man squad of flying guard squad was showering arrows and bullets, they couldn’t even scratch it. Though they were aiming for its eyes, the horns covering the face made it almost impossible to precisely hit the eyes, especially while it was on the move.Harley shot arrows coated with Red-Drive, but even his arrows that could pierce through boulders could only scratch this beast even in spots where its skin was supposed to be softest.“If only we could at least slow it down…” Harley was gritting his teeth. “Where the hell are the Four Dr
