Their pulse got wrecked when they saw how much blood Creed was losing while holding the cord. Yet, he was holding on to it as if his own life depended on it. He gritted his, clenched his muscles, bit his lips but he didn't let go of the cord.

As soon as tension returned in the cord gravity automatically wheeled the Colt and Flaco towards this side of the cliff.

Soon enough both reached this side and managed to bounce on the cliff's edge before they could crash into Creed's hanging body.

Just as they two landed, they all rushed to grab a hold on him. Falco and Colt grabbed him by his shoulder and pulled him back. His arms were shivering uncontrollably and blood kept coming out of his fist.

His left eyelid was also bleeding profusely. Creed laid on the ground with his chest thumping like a blow-horn. Both his arms and shoulders bruised and abused by the excess tension. He coughed as if his lungs would burst in a few seconds.

After getting him back to the surface, Nakiya tried to open h

    "Guess those legs aren't just for show…" Agenor jerked his numb arm to reset the blood flow.Though, It was just one ghoul surrounded by 7 of them, and yet they felt overwhelmed by its power. They didn't even want to imagine what kind of havoc those thousands of ghouls in the valley could wreck. The carnal killing aura and merciless appetite for flesh coming out of the beast violently rattled their senses. Nevertheless, Creed's senses were going berserk way more than anyone else. The situation wasn't ideal. He was painfully aware that this ghoul was not a dumb beast. The reason he attacked Creed first was because he must have smelled his blood and injuries. Everyone one in the team clutched their weapons. Agenor was a tank thus he was supposed to manhandle and nullify the beast's attack. He pulled himself together. His calves strained as he bolted towards the beast with unsettling velocity.Ghoul had no eyes, and yet Agenor's sudden movement rattled the creature's whip-like tongue.

    Earlier their countermoves seemed forced and calculated but soon Colt and Rain grew more and more fluid and coordinated with wash passing second. An intoxicating unity was born out of the most chaotic patterns of melee.With each passing moment, they both kept closing the gap between each other, kiting the ghoul's movements despite his extremely chaotic tongue whips. Nevertheless, The most theatrical aspect of these movesets was that—for some reason—their blocks and random attacks were pushing the ghoul back. Their positions and slipperiness made the beast back off step by step into a corner. Almost as if he was being caged by some invisible force."Hey! Agenor… are you seeing this?""Yeah…" Agenor uttered, "I don't understand what is happening…but I feel as if I've seen something like this before…""Really? Where?""Oh wait!" Hearing Agenor's words Nakiya felt a spark inside her pool of memories. For some reason she too felt a familiarity from their moves and patterns."Is that reall

    "Every possible A-rank technique that Genome Library had lost against this new technique in just the first few simulations. Obviously it freaked out the entire genome library administration. This incident immediately came into the light on the forums which made its popularity rise in just a couple hours of its launch.""You've gotta be kidding me?" Agenor scratched his chin trying to understand the gravity behind Colt's words. "If it got assigned such a high rank, that means it is better than every other A-rank technique that portal has in their system, right?""Yes!" Colt made a huge nod, "Now, here comes the freakiest part. The second reason behind the massive commotion is something that made people lose their shit.""This new technique was eligible for being put into an A-rank category and all the clans were ready to buy it for millions of genome credits, if not for billions. However, before that could happen, the technique's donor pulled the rug from under everyone's feet. When th

    While they moved forward with muffled steps, Colt told them everything about the Chaos Sequence. He also told them that the combat technique was still available for purchase on the Genome Library Official portal.They all were moving as quietly as possible until Falco interrupted. "Hold on a second. There is one thing I still don't understand. How come Phantom's technique is so similar to this chaos sequence? Could this really be just a coincidence?""Good question. I haven't seen his fighting style but if what you're saying is true, then there might be a link between them!" Colt mumbled as turned towards Rain with a frown, "Well, I suppose, Rain would be the best person to answer this because she had seen both techniques, right?"They all turned to Rain as Colt's question made sense. They all knew that Rain had fought Phantom before and she had learnt the sequence as well. Hence she should be the first person to connect the dots between them.Rain saw everyone gazing at her and sigh

All of their eyes started to glimmer with various spectrums of shades simultaneously while all of their muscles began to bulge out. Not only that, around most of them, metallic armors wrapped around their bodies.~SHHRRIKKKEEEThey immediately heard a guttural voice of a horde who had sensed their presence by their rhythm. Agenor bolted his way across with narrow space while others followed. They heard the several footsteps rushing closer and there was no going back now."On your toes everyone! here they come!"Just as Agenor spewed the warning, they saw three Ghouls rushing toward them with bubbling saliva dripping from their tongues. One was bolting across the ground whereas the two beasts were crawling across both sides of walls on the canyon. Not to mention the several others were right behind them in a hasty queue.Just the mere sight of so many hungry Ghouls made nasty chills crawl up their spines. Regardl

    The Rha member kept attacking non-stop, the Ghoul organs kept flying around. All of their armors kept getting drenched and painted with blood of the starving ghouls. After constantly killing the Ghouls for several minutes, they all began to understand their attack patterns, which was most of the time driven from hunger. One of the major advantages this beast had was their numbers, however that advantage was now minimized because of the narrow space through the canyon. Just as Rha members were feeling restricted due to the cramped space, the ghouls also couldn't move around freely. Both parties had their movements restricted.The skirmish was extremely brutal and messy. Fortunately, they were able to push forward slowly and steadily. The Rha members seemed to be forcefully pushing their way through the horde by eliminating them.as fast as they could.In contrast to that, Colt and Rain became the most lethal duo in the entire team. Their attacks and movesets were getting sharper with

    The guy sitting on the boulder pushed himself away and jumped on the ground with the most radiant smile ever seen. As he came forward, Creed eyebrows tensed up and his teeth gritted against each other.He had a youthful face filled with radiance and eyes filled with subtle cunningness. His attire seemed normal for a hunter and yet it fit on his muscular build quite sharply.His kevlar was hugging his broad shoulders quite tightly, and he was wearing the same kind of military Cargo's as Creed. In terms of minimalism in their clothing, they seem extremely similar."What's with the scary glare?" He asked with a chuckle, "dear old acquaintance…""Wolf! You bastard… what the hell are you doing here?""Woah! Jeez…What with the animosity bro?" Wolf raised his arms, And here I was expecting a hug from a fellow cadet…""Throwing your dagger at someone you expect a hug from… " Creed replied, "You're still a diabolical piece of shit, aren't you?""Well what can I say?" Wolf shrugged casually, "T

    "A Seeker! I see… " Wolf giggled after noticing the color of Agenor eyes, "Not like I care…."Just as Agenor blinked, Wolf's figure vanished before his eyes. The next second, Agenor's arms went numb and he felt a burning sensation on his chest. A thread of spark stretched across the air. The oxygen escaped from his lungs and Agenor's feet lifted on the ground. The chest plate of his arm turned black as if a lightning bolt had hit him. The situation immediately turned sour when Wolf launched a bolstering strike on Agenor's chest. Something was very off about his attack. Not only did he leave deep scratches on his Armor the attack also charred his breastplate. Almost as if a fire bolt fell on to him from the sky. Agenor rolled over to the ground leaving deep prints on the ground. Falco's eyes immediately shot a vicious glint of overbearing bloodlust. He vanished from his spot and crashed into Wolf with daggers clutched into his grip.Wolf pupils dilated as when he noticed a blurred

    A few days later inside the archery facility, Target 101, Kendrik was still busting his ass on the endurance range. However, today for some reason, he was more enthusiastic than ever. Although, his expression told that he was really struggling but the subtleties of his body language during the practice hinted otherwise.Though his limbs were twitching with pain, body drenched with sweat, and veins burst with blood rush, regardless, he was still humming as if he was enjoying his training regime. This shouldn't come as a surprise since he was finally noticing some changes in his shots. Over the past few days Kendrik noticed that his accuracy has slightly increased and he has finally gotten a hang of the customized training regime. This training regime was extremely taxing but after everyday's practice and consistent effort he realized that starting from scratch—as Creed advised—was not bad advice after all. He was also diligently taking the pill that Creed prescribed, and coincident

    Creed walked out of the medical facility feeling despondent. He was undoubtedly thinking about the discussion that he just had. He continued to mutter to himself, agitatedly. "What a stupid facade…""And what the hell was I even thinking?? Of Course, she's not gonna tell me shit!! This must be what they call the classified information!! Not to mention that grumpy old man was also sitting right there gawking like a freaking viper!!""Meh… Whatever!! It doesn't matter… At least, now I know that there are more variables in the picture.""Argh fuck!!" Creed cursed under his breath, slapping his forehead with frustration. "What was I even thinking, promising that scumbag Varun a favor? I got nothing in return... what a waste of time!!"Creed went back to his home with no leads at all. Finding 'Eos' and getting him to talk about his unusual weapon was his only lead. Unfortunately, with him leaving without a trace, Creed was out of options now. Nevertheless, one thing was crystal clear. If

    Varun stared at him for a few seconds before smiling, "If you are that desperate, alright fine. But don't back off later, or I'll shank your ass in your sleep.""Just take me to her," Creed ignored Varun's warning.Varun led Creed to another floor, and as they walked, Creed couldn't help but notice the stark contrast between the efficient, advanced, state-of-the-art equipment in this medical facility. This facility had by far the most efficient, advanced, state of the art equipment available to humans. It reminded him how difficult it was to bridge that gap between privilege and non privilege.Compared to this, the hospitals available to the general public were absolutely garbage. Creed was creeped out by how well funded, and well designed this facility was. It almost seemed as if he arrived like a planetary hyperspace launch station."So this is what true aristocratic privilege looks like?" Creed whispered, "What'd you say?""Uhm… I said… I've never seen a hospital like this before!

    Creed opened his straining eyes pulsating with throbbing agony. As the vision grew slowly, he could see nothing past the blur of lights and shadows. He tried to move his limbs, but a sharp pain shot up his arm. He groaned in pain. All he had were the brief flashbacks of memories from the night before. The Formless beast, the Serpent Woman, and most importantly, Eos' daunting trickery.He tried to move, but he immediately felt restrained. His naked body was wet. His body was completely naked and afloat in a viscous fluid. His eyeballs jittered once he saw the silver edges of curved encasing. He was trapped in a box like a barbie doll.Panic flooded inside his mind when he realized he was inside a bionic pod. He knew what had happened to him? Creed immediately struggled against the restraints, but they held firm. Soon, he heard footsteps approaching, and a door swished open."Ah!! Mr. Gryffon, you're awake!!" A voice landed in his ear. It was a woman's voice, calm and professional. "Hm

    The serpent woman's spine-curling screams pushed even the Formless beast to his limits, causing him to reconsider his position in the hierarchy of dominance, as they served as a warning and clear indication of the carnage she was capable of unleashing.She issued an open threat against the formless beast that he must not take another step forward. This situation was way beyond Creed's caliber. ~GRRRARGGGGGGHHHHSoon enough, the formless beast also roared on top of his lungs. His killing intent directed at the serpent woman forcefully standing between him and Creed. Both creatures relentlessly tried to force each into submission but were also greatly wary of each other's powers.Creed was encountering a clash between two superior predominant entities. The last thing Creed wanted to do was fuck around and find out. Right now, His atoms in his body were screaming at him to run away but his body was in dreary paralysis because of her presence. However, the next second, the snake woman

    With a roar, the ferocious beast charged at Creed, its killing intent crystal clear. Creed's heart pounded in his chest as he braced himself for impact. His sword sliced through the beast's flesh. But that was not good news, but quite the opposite. As Creed's sword locked inside the creature's body, the beast taunted him with a cruel grin. Creed's heart sank as he realized he had made a fatal mistake.The cunning bastard rendered his sword orbit completely useless with his flawless strategy by letting him dig his sword into his own non vital organs. Creed's hair stood straight behind his neck as he understood how intelligent this abnormality was."Fuck! Is this it?" ~huff ~huff ~huff "I guess… I bit more than i could chew— "Before Creed could finish his sentence, his breaths turned shallow. The beast viciously ripped his arm from his shoulder. The beast then slammed him to the ground with such force that Creed felt his bones shatter beneath him. ~arggghhhHe wheezed much oxygen

    The next instant, Grisha's eyes were splashed with His blood, which finally forced her to return to reality. She was even more surprised by Creed's frantic scream."LIEUTENANT, SNAP OUT OF IT!! I CAN'T HOLD HIM FOR TOO LONG!!!""You change your mind??" Grisha yelled, "Now is not the time!! Just FUCKING DO SOMETHING!! Don't make me regret my decision!!"Grisha's eyes changed to the deepest shade of purple the following instant. Her eyes radiated an atmosphere that was more viscous than molasses. The earth beneath her feet darkened, appearing to be on fire.A rhythmic shockwave erupted and spewed noxious gas into the air. A razor-sharp crescent slice spread into the air, illuminating it with a neon brilliance. The sword stroke struck the beast in the chest, pushing him away from Creed.She appeared right next to Creed and pulled him up from the ground. "How long does your berserk skill last?" She asked, "5 more minutes! then i'll probably pass out!" Creed answers, "Yours?""6 minute

    Grisha let out a bellow of frustration, "Shit! I have to go back! We need to help him!"Creed's mouth twisted into a sinister grin. "No! Wait!" he hissed. "This is our opportunity. Let's run, Lieutenant. We can't handle this anomaly. But now, while it's distracted, we might be able to slip away. It's our only chance.""You heartless bastard!" Grisha spat."What?" Creed jerked his head in surprise."You're going to leave him behind?""Why not?" Creed nodded immediately. "I did everything I could! But it didn't work out. What else can we do here but save ourselves?"Grisha clicked her tongue in vexation. "I'll never understand you. What if he has a family waiting for him?""Lieutenant, stop wasting time. That creature is no joke. If we stood a chance, I would have helped, but we don't. Besides, I don't even know the guy. Why should I risk my neck for him?""You're despicable. ASSHOLE!" Grisha jeered, "You know what? Just fuck off... I'll help him myself."Creed's eyebrows twitched viole

    "For fuck's sake, Lieutenant!! It's my soul radix that's keeping him paralyzed! Happy now?" Creed replied in frenzy and ran like a lunatic, leaving them behind, "Trust me we are still within his reach. Stop with the questions and fucking run!!""Oh Crap!!" Grisha immediately understood why Creed was pressing them to run. "Should have told us earlier, you idiot!!"Grisha, realizing her stupidity, grabbed Eos by his arm and bolted forward once again. The ground caved inside with her feet from the impact. However, just after taking a couple steps she felt a claw sinking deep inside the armor's back plate reaching all the way to her spine.Blood gushed out like a fountain, as if a dam had burst within Grisha's body, staining the ground crimson and creating a pool of death beneath her. Eos was frozen in shock for a moment, but the sight of her bloodied back snapped him out of it. The beast was so close that its foul breath rubbed against his neck, draining the life out of veins.
