"I am not abandoning you!" I kissed him once more. "I want you to study Lily, to understand her powers and how we can utilize them for the greater good. You're injured now, but once you've recovered, we will go on our next mission together." I promised.He remained seated, silently watching me. He was not ready to let me go alone, but I had no other option."One day, when all of this is over, we will have a special date. We'll sit beneath a starry sky, gazing into each other's eyes. And I will repeatedly express just how much you mean to me." I drew closer to him and planted a gentle kiss on his forehead."Will it?" he whispered "Ever be over?" his voice trembling."Of course it will be!" I cupped his face "Besides, I won't be going alone!" I finally managed to convince him."Then take something with you that will allow us to stay in contact," he suggested.I embraced him once more, feeling his grip tighten around me. Before departing, I kissed his forehead once again.Afterward, I qu
Recognizing this as a chance, I seized the opportunity and proceeded toward the well. Inside the well, I discovered the Orphics who were in a severely injured state.Surveying the surroundings, I searched for any objects that could assist them in climbing out.Unfortunately, there was nothing suitable available. Determined to help, I removed my gloves and closed my eyes. Taking a deep breath, I quickly cut open wounds on my fingertips, whispering, "Stay back!" loud enough for them to hear me.I hung my hands inside the well and reminded myself that these poor souls depend on me.I stretched out my hands, watching as the blood dripped from my fingers and began to take the shape of a ladder. "Hurry!" I exclaimed, urging them to climb as quickly as possible. The darkness of the place worked in my favor, allowing me to successfully rescue those people.However, what troubled me was the realization that unlike me, they were unable to heal themselves. I whispered, "Can't you heal?"One of t
However, this strike provoked him and he stumbled back, calling out the other creepers to his side.Only those who had joined him to harm the girl stood by him. I skillfully dodged one creeper's attack, struck another one with a kick, and landed a punch on yet another.It was the most fun fight I had experienced in a long time until a powerful punch struck my cheek.Blood filled my mouth and I was thrown off balance by a kick from one of the others.Another creeper grabbed my collar and began relentlessly punching me, causing my cheek to swell and blood to flow out from my mouth.Mustering up the little bit of strength I had left in me, I grabbed his neck and headbutted his nose with all my might.He fell to the ground, and I positioned myself above him, delivering a series of hard punches.I didn't stop there; fueled by pain and anger, I continued to beat him until he met his death.Regaining my senses, I skillfully blocked the attacks of the remaining creepers. However, one of them
They made their way inside and immediately noticed many boxes stacked up, covered in thick layers of dust and cobwebs Behind a shelf, a faint glow could be seen, moving in a rhythmic pattern. Upon moving the shelf, they discovered a hidden passage behind it. As soon as they moved the shelf, suddenly the light vanished. "We're here to help you!" Jim whispered, but after a moment of silence, a young man's voice echoed through the empty tunnel. "Is Zaria with you?" he inquired. "She told us to only trust Zaria, not anyone else!" "We're here with Zaria. She took on the task of distracting the guards so we could free you!" Jim replied. Jim removed his mask, revealing himself before their eyes. "You can trust me," he assured them. The light reappeared, emanating from the eyes of a young Orphic. It illuminated the area brightly, revealing that there were many others present. "Do we have enough space for all of them?" Caleb whispered. "We'll take them to our vehicles, and then we'l
Jim whispered, "Uh-oh!"Truly fueled by his attack, I charged at him. "You've made a grave mistake!" I declared, ready to take him on.He attempted to kick me, but I quickly blocked his attack. Using my elbow and knee, I trapped his ankle and applied pressure, successfully dislocating his knee.Although he stumbled, he managed to maintain his stance and tried to choke me.Refusing to be overpowered, I seized his finger and thumb, twisting them in the opposite direction to break free from his grip.Smoothly spinning around, I delivered a powerful kick to his jaw, causing him to fall to the ground.As he lay defeated, he taunted me. "Is this the best you can do? I heard you heartlessly killed your own son. I suppose it was all just a fake story!" he was provoking me, and succeeding to do that.His lifeless body flashed before my eyes, fueling my rage.Without hesitation, I sprinted toward Jackallion and launched myself at him, landing a forceful punch on his jaw.During this fight, I ha
These lines extended all the way to the walls and up to the ceiling. It was a big area, with thousands of doors and passageways.Each gully contained another narrow lane, none of which was even.The entire structure was constructed within this huge cave."This is what they refer to as the twisted city!" Kai's eyes widened in astonishment. "If this is twisted, I wish the entire world would twist in this manner!" Bella exclaimed. "I wonder what lies behind those doors!" Ella thought aloud.That's when a man emerged, clutching a firearm in his hand."Listen, whatever you and that crazy old man are involved in, we want no part of it. The exit is over there!" He gestured toward a nearby gully."You're free to leave and do whatever you please, whether it's spreading viruses or causing chaos. Just leave our families alone!" Fear was evident in his voice.This revelation made Kai realize that the man either had no experience handling a gun or lacked ammunition.As Kai looked into his eyes,
"I have spent countless years searching for it, I cannot simply allow you to take it," she stated."Nonsense, I am the one who created it!" he argued."You didn't, it was Asher who created it!" she countered."Yes, what does it matter? I am him and he is me!When my brother invented immortality, he named it Trinocite and chose to conceal it from me, labeling it as a cure for a catastrophic disaster that would unleash havoc upon the Earth.Acting innocent, he sold both the plague and the so-called cure to the president alpha.Little did he know, I had men stationed at every corner, keeping a watchful eye on him.I tortured him to extract the location of the Trinocite from him, and as soon as he gave in, I reached the facility.I was there that night, eager to obtain this powerful beauty, but just as the nuclear was launched, Cassian decided to relocate the last of the Trinocite.Afterward, I pursued Cassian for centuries and finally captured him, only to realize it was all in vain.Tha
As Kai bought time for the twins to escape, William's anger boiled over and he slapped Kai before striking him with a nearby chair.Kai fell to the floor, but he quickly recovered and pulled out his gun, ready to shoot William.However, before he could pull the trigger, something hit William from his left, causing him to fall.Ella rushed to Kai's side, helping him up as a group of soldiers surrounded the cabin.Instead of giving up, they made the decision to escape through the window. Once they successfully fled, they knew they couldn't run forever, but they found temporary cover behind a boulder, leaving the soldiers behind.It was then that Bella came up with an idea. "I have an idea!" she exclaimed, removing her mask and handing it to Kai. "Put this on and get my sister out of here as fast as you can!" Bella pleaded, knowing Ella was hesitant to leave her sister behind.Bella took a different approach, gripping Ella's shoulders firmly. "Listen, Ella! Zaria has treated us like no o
