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
WHIT 56 - STILL STANDING, BUT...
The rhino left destruction and death in its wake. A small hand could be seen under the rubble. It definitely wasn’t an adult’s.An old woman got her leg crushed under a falling wall, and she was howling and begging for help. He couldn’t move from here. However, amid the chaos, nobody cared for those stuck under the rubble. Most people were busy running for their own lives.At one place, the rubble was blasted aside, and a person covered in blood got up to his feet. It was Edgar. His fist was covered in white lightning.He was furious more at himself than at the beast that had put him in this state. And with every heartbeat, the lightning around his fist got hotter and hotter to the point it was burning his flesh.He could hear the devastation the rhino
WHIT 57 - A LONG DARK NIGHT
The whole hospital collapsed, but nobody cared to help. Other than one single soul, pushing the rubble aside and looking for survivors, no other helper was in sight.“Please be alive, sis,” Edgar kept digging through the rubble fast while being gentle and careful.Before he could find any soul, a wild dog had snuck in from behind and bit his shoulder.“Ahh!” Edgar cried out. The dog was of typical size, but its bite was freakishly strong and bone-gripping. Edgar screamed and grabbed its face. His fingers instinctively searched for its eyes and poked them. The dog squealed and let go of his shoulder. He lifted a big block in the rubble and smashed the dog’s head with it.His shoulder was hurting, but he didn’t stop. He kept searching. F
WHIT 58 - REWARDING VICTORY
At dawn, the town bell rang three times, signaling the victory of the humans. But it was still risky to come out. After an hour later, another bell rang. This one meant that most threats lurking about inside the village were also taken care of. Only then people came out of their houses that were still intact and witnessed the blood and gore.The air didn’t smell nice or feel fresh like the usual days, and the scent of death dominated all.Most people were heading toward the town council, which was made of the important and influential people of the clan. There was no particular head that ruled over it, but, in general, the baronet’s words still held more weight than of others.Thousands were gathering at the council, both the ones who fought in the war and those who stayed in their homes.<
WHIT 59 - A FEARLESS FOOL
The Four Masters took the stage and broke each other’s records. Dubril Zha: 328. Corio Zha: 346. Bushin Zha: 387. Ashang Zha: 502. “Are you kidding me?” people were gasping, especially after hearing Ashang Zha’s number. “He killed five-hundred beasts without even suffering a scratch?” “The First Master is a monster! He killed the mountain lion that has killed so many warriors.” “The other masters are not far from him either. They’re monsters, too!” “If they hadn’t been protecting a lot of warriors and taking care of a lot of things, they would have killed many more.”
WHIT 60 - PLANS IN MOTION
“Hundred is a great number, but unfortunately, it’s still not enough to get you a wish,” Jorga told Edgar, expecting what the boy was going to ask. “But if you’re willing to stay in this town for the next ten years, then I can grant you a dignitary token, with which you can buy goods and resources for reduced prices anywhere in the town.” “I don’t want a token,” Edgar straightforwardly said. “Give me money if you can.” “How dare this kid demand things from the council!” some onlookers rebuked him. “Just because you killed some beasts, you think you can ask whatever you want?” Jorga raised his hand, and the people stopped. After discussing with the council members for a minute, Jorga said, “We’ve always given resources as rewards instead of money, but we’ll make an ex
WHIT 61 - RECORD KILLS
“Eh?” “I-Isn’t that the Hill Bull?” “This senile woman killed that thing? Impossible!” “Even my brother from the defense squad couldn’t stop that thing. So many guards tried and failed to kill that. How can she defeat that thing?” As people were blatantly raising questions, Jorga asked, “What do you have to say to this, madam?” “If they stop barking, I will finish my job here quickly,” the old woman’s reply stunned everyone. “This old hag wants to die!” “How dare she talk like that in front of the council. If not for her age, I would have slapped her!” Not minding the people’s opini
WHIT 62 - THE RAIN COMES AND THE PEOPLE GO
The sun in the skies wasn’t shining as much as he usually did over the past few months.Every adult in the town was busy doing something. Some were mourning the loss of their loved ones. Some were repairing the broken houses and damaged property. Some were leaving the town having made profits or suffered losses. But in all of them, the memories of the Burden War were still fresh.Children were also busy playing. Even though the parents told them to stay inside, they sneaked out eventually. And they were living in their own little worlds, playing with the monster parts and being innovative and all.Meanwhile, Harley was in the south-east end of the town. He found some beasts bodies in quick mud, but there wasn’t a single sheep among them. “What happened to the sheep? Even if they somehow managed to
