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

    Everyone else was on guard after their unexpected confrontation. However, they were firmly fixed in spots. The surrounding atmosphere was awfully tense. Both sides held back from making any rash actions.A little while later, Wolf's smile disappeared into the vacuum. Both of their arms had become numb and hot from the repeated collision of their daggers.However, Falco bloodlust didn't fade even for a second. Instead, his eyes grow more and more thirsty. He kept ramming his daggers onto him to get the first strike. Wolf's rhythm kept getting more and more riled up with Falco's insatiable hunger for bloodSoon, They pushed each other away to gain some distance. Wolf glared at Falco's fuming expressions and shot a faint smile."Interesting…" Wolf looked at his pulsating arms, "at least someone knows how to fight!""I can't hear you from that far away!" Falco pointed his dagger at his throat, his eyes shooting a death glare, "Why don't you come closer, you arrogant turd!!""I don't think

    "You're out of options now. We clearly outnumber you. If you refuse to surrender the beast, then not just us but every hunter on Pandemonium will be after you as well. ""Gaia, Phoenix God's, Ghost Ravens and even White Clan… Even if you mysteriously vanish right now, the rest of us will pursue you till the end of the world. And when either of them get to you, I'm pretty sure they won't be as forgiving as us. So make the bloody choice."It was now a given that the man who had threatened Agenor was the group's leader. Because Wolf didn't have a clan Gaia's emblem anywhere on his body, unlike the others, it was still unclear what rank he held in the clan's hierarchy.Agenor was forced to draw the conclusion that Wolf was also clanless, but that he had formed a brief alliance with this clan. Wolf must have demonstrated his value as a tactical specialist because the party leader was paying attention to his opinion.Agenor's features grew dreadfully gloomy. He gritted his teeth in despera

    The two clan member were already crawling on the ground. Regardless, the bloodbath wasn't over yet. This time, Both Rain and Falco disappeared from their spots. Their feet drifted through the ground on a moment's notice. Before the dust could even settle, both of their shadows blurred and appeared right next to the rest of the two members. Rain literally jumped on the guy's shoulder and locked his neck between her thighs. The next second she brutally vertically thrusted her bloody rapier deep inside his left shoulder. Falco on the other hand crouched low and landed a high kick on the last guy on his chin. His feet lifted off the ground and his body shot up in the sky. His vision trembled and his brain shook inside the walls of his skull. Soon, another kick came to his chest mid air which thrashed him straight towards a boulder 15 meters away.

    "GET UP! YOU PIECE OF SHIT…"~Thud ~Thud ~Thud ~ThudCreed repeatedly kicked him while cursing at his bloody back. Wolf eventually stopped moving altogether. From the corner of his eyes, Gaia's party leader noticed this cruelty. Just the fact that it wasn't him made him feel heartfelt relief.Other members of the Gaia felt the soul slipping out of their bodies. They watched in horror as Creed violently thrashed and fell Wolf's body many times even after he had lost consciousness. The blood froze in horror. He didn't stop and kept ramming him over and over as if he was possessed. At this point, it was safe to assume that Creed killed Wolf in cold blood. Soon, Falco and Colt rushed and grabbed him by his back. "Holy fuck!" Falco and Colt both grabbed Creed by his shoulder and pulled him away, "Stop! Stop it! You're gonna kill him…""Get off me!" Creed yelled with he tried run towards him, "I'm gonna murder this fucking psychopath….""Shit! The only psychopath here is you… stop it! You

    "You planned this, didn't you? I'll remember this! Eye of Rha… Even after this hunt, My entire Clan will hound your party members one by one until there is no one to catch.. You've made the biggest mistake of your life.""Go ahead! Agenor turned around and was about to leave but he stopped for a second. "Do whatever you want."After uttering those words, Agenor's back gradually shrunk until it disappeared completely. Creed turned around his neck one last time before giving the death glare. The members and team leader couldn't help but stand there completely stunned.None of them dared to chase after the group. Haunting images of barbarity keep hovering in front of their eyes. They all peeked at Wolf who was crawling through his own pool of blood in the corner with his shattered back. Whereas inhumane screams kept popping up from the shadows and bushes on the cliff.Rha members escaped at the very last moment with targets hanging on their backs. They were at a numerical disadvantage f

    The base of the stone boulders has been scorched into burned ash by the corrosive lava streams that are spewing through the earth like a network of several thin streams. The environment was becoming increasingly hostile.Instead of being a lifeless wasteland, the terrain began to more closely resemble the surface of a dying planet. Yet before they had a chance to adapt to the desolate and unfriendly landscape, they all noticed something that forced them to frantically hide behind a hillside.They noticed something that appeared to be a human person from around 50 meters away. She resembled a human in terms of physical appearance. Except, she was 15 feet tall. Her silky crimson hair swirled and fluttered about her head like she was beneath water, and her eyelashes glistened with a glossy indigo luster. Her eyes were closed, and her cheeks were pallid. Her heavenly allure was impossible to be overlooked when combined with her rose-petal lips.Above her abdomen was covered in dainty arm

    When Rha members noticed what was happening, their heart thumped like a motor boat's engine. The entire army was closing up on the angle in the sky. In just a few minutes, the giant was surrounded by an army of at least one thousand ghouls. Although it wasn't as big as the number they saw in the valley, it still made their feet melt from panic.Not only that, but this weird fixation on the crown made all the Ghouls jump in the bubbling lava to get closer. The level of lava inside the creator wasn't high but as soon as they jumped inside their feet started melting, breaking the magical spell.~SCREEECH ~SHHHHRRIKKEEEEK The Ghouls who jumped first, started screaming and shrieking from agony as their flesh melted away from their bones. The fleeting wisp of burning flesh, blood and excretion took over and corroded the insides of their tendons.That wasn't, however, the end of this lunacy. The others' beasts kept aimlessly clambering over the charred corpses of their allies in an attemp

    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.
