After they all, finished eating nothing short of a delicious meal, stars had covered the night star, and everyone was getting ready to enter into the tents for the night, everyone except Charlie that is."Um... Charlie, sir?" Said Suzuki, who was fully dressed in some red pajamas and was about entering into the tent, where Crystal was already sleeping with some blue pajamas."What is it Suzuki?" Asked Charlie as he was laid down on the fallen log, with the campfire still burning, and the map laid across his face."Are you going to bed out here? Isn't it cold? We have enough tents" asked Suzuki, "... don't worry about me, I'm keeping nightwatch, so I won't fall asleep, so you can just rest up instead" said Charlie."Oh... okay" said Suzuki as she was about to enter into the tent, "wait... instead, why don't you deal with that?" Said Charlie pointing at a second tent, with the shadows of two girls arguing inside of it, and audible insults being thrown around.A nervous sweat ran down th
Sidney immediately dashed to the side the moment the whistle sounded, with Gy running beside him, shielding him from Spike's sights.While Scarecrow, Berry, and Octopus all dashed out towards Spike simultaneously."Creating cover while these ones attack me huh?" Thought Spike with a surprised face. "Nice, let's see how far you can go!!!" Said Spike with a smile as he too rushed out towards the three approaching soul puppets.Scarecrow was immediately in front of Spike, swinging it's huge arms with incredible speed at Spike.Spike was able to dodge and block all the attacks though, and with relative ease at that."This thing, it's slender and a lot faster than that multiple armed one at that. But is it just me, or are these things attacks getting stronger with each blow?" Thought Spike as each blow slowly became harder and harder.And not just that, each blow was faster than the last, each carrying incredible weight behind it, so much so that it began looking like scarecrow had the sam
As the announcement resounded throughout the field, Spike pulled out Sidney from the floor, and had a broad smile on his face."Looks like I won" said Spike, "yeah, but I knew you were severely holding back, afterall, all you got was a nosebleed from all that" said Sidney who wiped his nose clean of blood as well."I was holding back but still, your practically King tier by now, in terms of strength though, but I'd like to ask you something a bit more important right now.What did you learn from this?" Asked Spike."Well, for one, I'm really limited in the things I can do without things like talisman or runes, I relied too much on them before and I think I have to develop my alchemy more, even if I don't know how.Also, my speed isn't good enough. I'm pretty confident in my strength, but what's the point if I can't hit my target" said Sidney with a "critical thinking" face on as he stroked his chin."Yeah, your thinking in the right direction, but you should alsOughh!!!" Said Spike as
Sidney was stunned at the words that came out of Julian's mouth, and an awkward smile surfaced while sweat ran down his face."D-did you j-just say... Legendary tier?" Asked Sidney."That's right!! In case you didn't know, or were stupid or something, the most wanted bandit by the AAO is our leader, Spike, a Legendary tier alchemist!" Said Sidney."N-no!! That can't be right!!" Yelled Sidney, refusing to believe what he heard."Really? In that case, did you see Spike use any alchemy at all during your duel?!! Hmmm?!! Or did you even consider how much damage you actually dealt to him?!" Asked Julian with a demeaning look.Instantly Sidney's mind went back to the fight he had just wrapped up. He hit Spike with everything he had, and yet, he wasn't injured in the slightest, and didn't use alchemy at all."No way!! I've seen a Legendary tier Alchemist!! Heck, I've lived with one!!!" Said Sidney in disbelief."Wether you want to believe it or not, he's a Legendary tier badass who doesn't n
Chief Uvo was covered in a dark cloak, completely covering all of his features, aside from his horn and tail that poked slightly out the hood.But to any Drakeman, or human for that matter, he looked the same as any other Drakeman, aside from his oddly slightly bigger build, his identity was completely shielded.As he walked towards a huge towering building, a few miles off of from the rest of the Drakeman city, he came closer to the dim lights that radiated off of the lit torches, and to the Drakeman warrior's who stood guard outside the towers gates."If I'm caught, not only will I lose my position as Chief, but I'll most likely be executed..." thought Chief Uvo as he inched closer, concealing himself behind a tree not too far from the gate."... But if I'm right, I'd be saving not only Emilia and the King, but the entirety of the Drakeman race that now resides in Wyvern's Pass" thought Uvo as he pulled out his head a little, scanning the area.There he could clearly see the number
As Earl's body was sent flying backwards, a huge gust of wind send sand flying in every which way, and a resounding sonic boom was sent throughout the stadium as Earl's body crashed into the wall.Blood immediately spewed all over it, with the sound of broken bones being quite audible to the crowd, leaving Earl's mangled body to drop to the ground, bleeding all over and covered in blood.As Earl's heavy breathing was the only thing he could hear at the moment, his blurry vision slowly cleared up and the sound of the cheering crowd soon filled his ears."He's already dead with one strike!!!" "Serves ya right!!!' "Finish him off!!" The crowd continued to cheer on and on."The least they could do was take off his weights too, I mean he is a criminal" said one of the Drakeman warriors, "Yeah but he's a human, he doesn't share the same rights as regular Drakeman criminals" said another."True" laughed another one, while Kipple silently looked on."Huh?... what happened?... blood?" Thought
As the crowd stared blankly and silently, not a single word was said, and not a single soul made a move.The only sound that remained was the sound of the thrashing beast still clawing on its eye and slamming into the debris.As the only thing that remained of the first battle, was the scattered debris, terraformed Arena floor, blood and limbs scattered about, and Earl's laying dead body.No one, not the crowd, not the Drakemen warriors, no one, could've expected this outcome, and no one could even utter a single word at the sight of it."I-its... over..." said one Drakeman warrior, breaking free from the spell as he managed to take a step forward.As he did, his footsteps seemed to echo throughout the arena, as no one had moved or made a sound aside from this man."K-Kipple..." the man said as he placed his hand on Kipple's shoulder. Kipple was still in shock as well, speechless and unable to move at the sight of what happened.But the subtle touch seemed to snap him out of his dazed
As Charlie's command left his lips, it seemed to not have hit Alice or Janet quite yet."Wait a minute, this is still too-" said Alice before her jaw buckled, feeling a strong right fist landing straight on her jaw.As her face twisted, her eyes began spinning and she could feel herself loose her footing."The floor? It's growing, it's coming straight at me" thought Alice as her face fell straight at the ground.Right after her face collided with the ground though, she felt a hand grab her by the collar and pull her back, scrubbing her face on the ground a little before lifting her up to be on her feet, right before a heavy kick came slamming down, tearing up the earth beneath them."Useless!!" Said Janet as she pulled Alice closer and threw her over her shoulder, before turning around and sprinting off.Narrowly dodging huge pillars of crystals that sprung up from the floor. "Nice punch Sukz!" Said Crystal as she lowered her out stretched hands, in turn, lowering the crystals back in
