"All of you have fought valiantly today. You are brave warriors and worthy of the banner you stand for.
I shall see to it that the Indomitable Titan Sect will flourish anew in your absence." an aged crone addressed the lone man.
"Hah... Hahh.... Hahhhh....."
The two hundred feet tall giant answered not but only tried to breathe his last. And within three breaths, its body started to disintegrate into pieces.
“WHOSH!” A blinding light flashed once and after the last shade dimmed, more than a trillion cultivators vanished alongside their combined form.
"What happened, Maru? Where are we?" Tiny Slim asked towards his friend.At first, he was watching the war from afar but a sudden change occurred and the next thing he saw was a scene of desolation and wreckage.There was also a transparent glow that surrounded his body and it disappeared as quickly as it had come.The next thing he did was sought for someone amidst these unknown lands. But there was nothing but a lone cry that echoed harshly in the vast emptiness.That's how he found Maru, weeping in the ground. Maru hugged himself and took solace in his own thin hands that cradled his sullied body fiercely.
Alric asked because, the same as he was, his friend right here also sported a harem of goddesses in his abode."Those are mere numbers, Alric. A sad replacement of something that's lost and will never come back."Tobias shook his head and sighed. But this pessimistic view did not mirror his own heart.It still rang strong even after all the ages that had passed. A sad tune of longing throughout the years."I don't understand." Alric answered."HAHAHA! You shall, my friend! Soon enough. And may you have better luck than i did." Tobias laughed and hid his
“We’re going now, mom! I don’t know what time I’ll come back tomorrow. But I promise to visit, okay?” Maru said and specifically addressed the last of his words to his sister.“Why the change, brother? Is your training getting harder?” Uwyn asked.They had just eaten breakfast and her brother was already now hastily leaving back towards his sect.Uwyn was not heartened by the news because she wanted to go out again together with her brother.“Yes, Uwyn. The elders of the sect are having a hard time fixing a problem they encountered. It resulted in our masters doubling up our exer
“What does he mean, Madame Ais?” Maru asked the system as he had no recollection whatsoever of anyone he killed who wore the same peculiar garb of this old Buddhist monk.Even the people who attacked the Vestal Virgin Sect did not resemble the sect robes and its distinct insignia of this person.“A human attacked your sister when you passed out yesterday, Maru.The system took defensive measures which ended in the termination of the life of that particular human.” Madame Ais replied.“I see. Thank you, Madame Ais.” Maru said in his thoughts and could not help but take a deep breath.
“The season of recruitment for this year has already passed. Go back from whence you came!” the lone soldier said to the boys.His crimson armors shone brightly under the sun and even his eyes adopted the shade of blood. An obvious consequence of the cultivation technique he delved upon.“Maybe we should just go back, Maru. There are many other sects out there. Let’s skip this one please.” Tiny Slim leaned down to the little boy beside him and whispered softly.He definitely did not like the aura of this place. It reeked of death. Tiny Slim wasn’t too thrilled of apprenticing inside this sect at all.
“Are all adults like this?” Maru asked himself. He looked at the old grandfather and shook his head. This was not the time to be soft, he convinced himself and hardened his heart to what came next.“BOOM!” the floors shattered along the knees that were forced to bend down unto its surface.“AHHHHHHHHHH!” the sickly man yelled in pain but his voice carried no further than the 1-meter radius around his broken form.“Who are you? AHHHHHHHHHH! HMMMM.” he roared once more after the unseen force doubled in might.The sickly man found himself kissing the rubbles below as he was totally
“Master Corin, these are the new additions of your ward. Train them well. They are Prime Disciples of the Chief Protector.” Master Emil instructed the teacher in charge of the outer disciples.“I will personally see to it that they learn all the teachings of the sect, Master Emil.” Corin replied and bowed his head slightly.“Good. Then I shall leave them to your care.” Emil said and stood back at one corner of the room.“What else…” do you need? was what Corin wanted to say but paused his words before he would make a folly of himself.It seemed that Master Emil wished also
“Shouldn’t we bring her to a healer, Teacher?” Maru asked amidst the silent celebration of the few.Only the oily hands and lips showcased their use in full as the children ate their fill without a spoken word after the invitation of Master Corin.“Maru!” Tiny Slim looked at his friend with a hand full of chicken thighs. He blinked comically to signal something indecipherable.“Didn’t you want to stay hidden? Then what are you doing?!” Maru caught the gist of the message but only nodded in response.If worse came to worst, he could just take control of this teacher as well. He th
