Bontu assumed a defensive stance as he glared at those two girls.
“Whoa, look at this punk. Looking at us like we’re beasts.”
“Then we shall act like one.” One of the girls who was already stepping on Diver’s throat, put more pressure.
Edgar, meanwhile, bought Fabby out of the pond. She was unconscious. He pressed the heel of his hand on her chest, and luckily, she started breathing on the third compression itself. “Sis!” he felt relieved since the damage wasn’t as bad as it looked.
“Guh! Guh!” she spilled some water, and she slowly got her vision back.
Edgar was already walking toward the two girls, coldness oozing out of his eyes. “You two…

WHIT 79 - JUDGMENT
In the cellars of the Discipline Hall. A young man, who looked weak, was being whipped behind the bars continuously by two guards. After hitting dozens of times, the guards were out of breath. “This punk… he’s yet to utter a cry.” “Maybe we should have let him rot here a few more days.” The young man, who was made to sit on the back of his heels, with his arms sealed up in a piece of wood, was none other than Edgar. The back of his shirt was long torn, and his entire back had swollen red and bled, but the guards whipped him some more. After they finished a thousand whippings in total, they stopped and removed his wooden bindings. “Hmph, put this shirt on.” They tossed an old
WHIT 80 - AN ECHO FROM THE PAST
“Drop dead!” the whip came down crashing like fire from heaven and brought Edgar with it. “What the hell is happening here?” a thunderous voice that echoed in the hall made Karrsitt stop. He looked toward the entrance, and a gray-haired old man strode in, his steps heavy. “High Elder Garvin!” the masters were all startled, and they immediately lowered their heads. “Karrsitt, don’t you know that one shouldn’t fight in this hall?” asked Gavin, almost in a demanding tone. “Stop reminding me of the rules that I set,” Karrsitt snorted. “You got no business in my hall. Get lost, so I can kill this arrogant ant.” “I would have if I was maybe weaker,” Gavin grabbed the hilt of his sword. “Let him go, or you’ll have to face my bl
WHIT 81 - EDGAR UNCHAINED
“Oi, did you hear? Great Elder Karrsitt lost his post as the head of the Discipline Hall.” “What? Then who’s the new head?” “It’s Master Ruth Raj it seems.” “What? That cloth-faced master? But he’s not an elder.” “Well, he was promoted just yesterday it seems.” “How can he directly get promoted to an elder without becoming a grandmaster first?” “I don’t know. But I heard many rumors that Master Ruth would have long become a grandmaster if he wanted to. Maybe that’s why he’s got a double promotion?” “Huh? Screw that!” As people in other rooms were chatting, Bontu silently stayed in h
WHIT 82 - CLASH OF PRIORITIES
The arrows rained on Edgar, but they couldn’t pierce through his drive that now extended five inches thick outside his body. “This bastard is using overdrive!” “He can’t stay in that state for long. Keep shooting.” “I came here for my sister!” Edgar roared, and his roar was like thunder that echoed throughout the neighborhood. Even the arrows that were coming at him were thrown off-path, greatly shocking the guards. “Why is she still in the dark dungeon? Why hasn't she been released yet?” “Shut his mouth!” the guards together shot more arrows and spears at him while wondering who the hell this boy was. However, they were all deflected by the electricity surging out of his body in streaks. “I have no business with any of
WHIT 83 - BREAKING THE LIMITS
As clouds rumbled in the sky, Edgar appeared on Venel’s left, and his hand thrust straight toward the opponent’s neck. However, the ground shook and threw Edgar off a little bit, so he missed hitting the neck. In that time, Venel slipped all the way into the earth. He made himself a room and was looking up. (This boy has already started merging the core ability with the drive. Even I couldn’t do that until I was nineteen. He’s going to become a monster in the future. Since he isn’t the listening type, there’s no point in valuing his life. I should end this quickly for both of our sake.) “Come out, you coward!” Edgar pounded his fists into the ground and shook the entire ground, startling Venel. His little cave inside the ground got cracks all over it. That’s som
WHIT 84 - THE ESCAPEES
Edgar was roaming in the darkness, using his lightning to see in that pitch-black place. Only his hair was covered in lightning, and it became all spiky.The doors of the cells were made with iron thorns coated with some greasy substance, and most cells were empty. And the cells that weren’t empty had starved people. They were all begging him to give them some food or water. But because they were all chained, he could go past their cells.It took him a little more than twenty minutes to find his sister, despite him calling out for her. She was in her cell, a different cell from the one she was initially put in, looking like a dried fish. Edgar broke the lock and went in.Fabby slowly opened her eyes. She wasn’t expecting Edgar to come looking for her. And she was a lot more shocked. Judging by the way he
WHIT 85 - DREAMS
“212 injured, but no one dead you say?” Gavin was genuinely surprised upon hearing the report. “Yes, High Elder,” a dark-skinned core disciple in green uniform replied. She was short but toned. Her spiky black hair covered up a bit of her height. “But many got burnt flesh and broken bones. They will be bedridden for months unless we provide them support.” “Mm. Two hundred isn’t a small number, even for foot disciples. And eleven of the victims are outer disciples. It’s admirable that this boy tackled that many while not being in full health. And what’s more, word is that he fought Green’s grandson at the dark dungeon.” He pondered for a moment. (And that lightning pillar… Is this the kid Dusul was talking about?) “Since he’s able to use Blood Drive well enough, he’s
WHIT 86 - TALKS
It was still raining, and Fabby was running away, carrying Edgar on her shoulder. It was already dark, and she could hear the howls of beasts, but she had no other choice. She had to shift locations, or they would be found out. She had to abandon the food she gathered as well. She had been running for many miles, and she was quite tired, but still, she had no intention of stopping. Her knees and ankles hurt, but she kept going, not in straight lines but in a zig-zag fashion, making sure to avoid beasts. However, she stumbled across two men who were discussing something. Thanks to the noise of the rain, they didn’t notice her, so she hid behind a trunk and waited. One of those men had red hair and a long beard. It was Dubril Zha. And the other man was wearing a hooded
