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.

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
WHIT 87 - SHADOW KONG
“Noiz mountains? Are you sure?” Venel asked, still laying on the bed. His crotch was covered in bandages, but he covered it up with a towel, even though doing such a thing would only raise the temperature and bring him inconvenience. After all, he didn’t want to reveal the bandages to others.“Yes, senior,” two outer disciples replied, their heads in bowing mode. Both of them had beak-like noses, “Though the rain washed away tracks, we could smell her in the air.”“Only core disciples or higher level members of the sect are allowed entrance there. If she really went into the region of Shadow Kong, she’s as good as dead,” Venel looked disappointed. “I wanted to punish her myself.”At the dead of the night, in Noiz Mountain Range.
WHIT 88 - OVERPOWERING FOE
The many scars on the beast’s body and face showed how many battles it had been through. Its low growl told a terrible story. As Fabby watched in trepidation, her fear turned into horror when the beast raised its arms and grabbed the tree behind it and ripped it open and swung it as if it were a staff.Fabby raised an earthen wall with haste, but it got broken to bits, and she got blown away into the nearby tree. It was a hellish pain she had never experienced before.“Don’t give up no matter what,” she told herself in her mind.She found herself bleeding from her nose and head, but she held onto her consciousness. If a thick branch had stuck her, she could’ve gotten several broken ribs, but because of other trees coming in the way and the padding the leaves provided, the attack didn&rs
WHIT 89 - THE GRAY IN THE HEART
Alysse, the brunette in blue cloak, just finished healing Fabby near the sea shore. Fabby was purposely made unconscious. After Alysse was done, she got back onto her huge white swan.“Senior, are you leaving without saying a word?” asked Dusul.“Congratulations on becoming the patriarch,” saying that she left without even looking.Dusul breathing became a bit heavier as he watched her leave.Some time later.Fabby woke up to find herself resting on the shore. Edgar was right beside her, still unconscious, but his complexion looked a bit better.Dusul was standing at a distance, seemingly looking at the waves and what lay beyond.
WHIT 90 - CUTTING THINGS
After traveling a couple of miles in the direction Dusul pointed, Fabby arrived at a hut. However, it was already occupied by a senile man, who didn’t let her in for free. The deal was she had to cut wood for as long as she stayed, and she also had to make her own food.Though she agreed, the real pain of cutting tough trees that grew near a pond was later greatly felt. They were so big and sturdy, and her inexperience only made things difficult. She got blisters on her hands on the first day, but she was still forced to work on the second day; however, now she wrapped a cloth over her hands.The old man was watching her even though it didn’t seem like it. “At least she’s not thick in the head,” he thought.It took hours to cut a single tree. And every tree moaned as it fell. Carrying l
WHIT 91 - QUARREL
Edgar and Fabby were seated at the eastern shore of the peninsula, with him throwing sand into the incoming waves. “Didn’t you agree to leave the sect? I can’t believe a few words was all it took to change your mind.” “Eddie, listen…” she tried to explain, ‘we’ll give it another chance, that’s all.” “Another chance? For what? To see more people like the elder trample laws underfoot?” “But that elder got punished, didn’t he?” “Yeah, but not just because of us but because he probably had been doing similar crap for God knows how long!” “Everyone won’t be like him.” “Yeah, some will be even worse,” Edgar was seething with anger at this point. “Some foot disciples especially wer
