Apaurushya - The Continuum 50: Beyond Comfort Zone
Their mouths dried up, and their pupils shrank to the bare minimum. The flame's intensity nearly caused the Rha members to go blind. Everything was gone when the flames eventually died down, leaving only a smattering of dense, black soot in the air. Sweat and terror were running down their forehead. Their mouths were parched, and the hair on their neck began to twist up in brittle agony."Oh god!""She incinerated the living crap out of them…holy shit!""This black soot over the entire Pandemonium… "Maira looked at her boots with disgust, "...it's the ashes of the fallen ghouls!""Fuck! How are we supposed to deal with this…""I tell you, this is way beyond our paychecks! I don't wanna get closer to that thing…""Let's just stick to killing ghouls… the crown doesn't look as appealing as before!"The fire and light show instilled an abominable terror in their hearts. Nobody wanna get closer to her, not even in their dreams. They were having second thoughts until Falco uttered,"No! Le
Apaurushya - The Continuum 51: Brutal Skirmish
Before the arrow could even reach the crown, Maira's feet lifted off the groundans she was sent flying 30 meters away from her spot. Falco and Colt noticed their nerves freezing. One second armored angel was silently drifting up in the sky, and the next second she appeared next to Maira and blasted her away like some puny ant.However, Agenor was the first one to react. His eyes turned green and his heart pumped blood through his veins like an uncontrolled stream of broken hydratant. He appeared right above her head in the sky and thrusted his board sword at the giant's nape.~ARRRGGGHHHHH Unfortunately, The blade only shredded the empty space. She vanished once again from her spot before the sword could reach her. Agenor gritted his teeth, but he brought his sword next to his waist to block the attack that rushed at him from beside. He experienced the same quick body-snapping sensation like Maira from the intensity of the collision. The ruthless attack of the bladeless sword nearly
Apaurushya - The Continuum 52: Active Skill
The ground below her feet caved inside, as she zoomed in a malicious fit of rage. Creed pupils dilated when he saw her appearing in front of him like a lightning bolt. "Argh, shit!" Creed mumbled in frustration as he clutched his bow ,"I did not think this through…."~SCRRREEEEAAACHHThe armored angel arched her back. She opened her mouth and let out a screech before throwing a mortifying punch at Creed. A shockwave boomed in the area and Creed was sent flying in the opposite direction. ~BOOOMMHis body shot like a missile, as he skidded and rolled on the ground like a wildly unbalanced spinning top. Being the only hunter with no armor, taking on that unexpected punch right on his chest didn't go well for Creed. All his muscles spasmed from pain and agony. His lung almost came inside his mouth.Although his Grieving Ebony Hunting bow somehow protected him from the full force of the punch, the impact still reached all the way to the depth of his spine. His arms and head violently bu
Apaurushya - The Continuum 53: Onslaught
"So it's an active skill… " Nakiya replied, "Active skills are never permanent. It must have some sort of time constraints.""For fucks sake!" Falco jeered in frustration, "But how long? if this paralysis lasts even for 5 minutes, the others will all be dead in that time."Nakiya put Falco's body on the ground behind a boulder. They were 20 meters away from the crater's permitter."I need to get back to them! You guys… stay put! Creed, you're coming?"Creed nodded and put Rain gently on the ground. "While you are like this… try to recover your strength!"They dashed back to the crater. Creed continued to shoot his arrows from a distance while the others continued their assault towards the enraged giant.The fight against the armoured giant could not be more arduous. The majority of their weapons and armour were damaged in many places. Everyone was panting and bleeding heavily. Out of everyone else, Agenor and Colt were in the worst shape since they were the ones who were dealing the
Apaurushya - The Continuum 54: BladePoint
In a one-on-one, his dedication, skills, and instincts as a skilled combatant were all on display. From the perspective of a regular fighter, his erratic manoeuvres were terrifying. His body was moving in perfect disorder and chaos.Colt's execution, elegance, and accuracy continued to improve with each passing second. His lance was moving and rotating so fast, it was impossible to guess what his next move could be. Surprisingly Colt was completely oblivious of a his own brilliance. The entire time, his face was stiff as a rock but his body and joints were loyal to the commands given by his intuition.However, just when they thought Colt was getting somewhere an arrow rushed towards the angel with a blazing torrent and blasted a hole in her Armor. "Creed!" Colt uttered when his sequence ruptured, "What the hell dude…."They all, including Agenor, turned towards Creed who was standing like a statue with a bow in his grip. Surprisingly, Creed stared at them, just as confused as everyo
Apaurushya - The Continuum 55: Unstoppable Vs Immovable
"You've got some nerve…. " Grisha bit her tongue out of pure rage,Hearing Agenor's threat, the White Leader's visage morphed into a hideous monstrosity. His eyes became colorless. Not just him, but every hunter in the massive crowd, drew out their swords.Agenor's threat to the four clans was both unsettling and hilarious at the same time. Colt was already up against the guardian giant. Falco and Rain were rendered immobile, leaving only four of them. No matter what angle they saw it, Agenor was on the losing side.If Agenor refused to back down, the four of them would be up against 150 hunters. Not only that, but the angel was no pushover either. Colt couldn't keep her engaged forever. His threat was nothing but a hilarious joke.However, despite having all kinds of odds against him. Agenor's gleaming eyes hinted at how serious he was. He was endangering not only his own life but also the lives of his comrades by being rash. This was just insane. Only a madman would do such a thing
Apaurushya - The Continuum 56: Off Limits
"Cadet Gryffon! Quit acting like an idiot!" Grisha came forward this time and said, "You shouldn't piss someone who is way above you in the hierarchy. By now you should know that better than anyone else…" "Lieutenant, don't you and your clan ever get tired of acting like street thugs? Is that how all clans are functioning right now? Threatening, hijacking and mooching off over others' effort?"~Sigh"Don't play wise ass with me, Gryffon. If anything we are doing you guys a favor by taking over.""Favor! You've gotta be kidding me…""Nobody is happy about that little trick you pulled… so yes. We are indeed doing you a favor by letting you all leave with your limbs intact. Besides, your party doesn't have enough people. That guardian is far stronger than what you guys can handle alone. Let us handle her.""Thanks for the input but we'll manage… "The next moment, White clan's party leader came forward. His eyes turned green and the armor appeared. "Alright, I've had enough of this. I
Apaurushya - The Continuum 57 : Illusive Plan
"No trespassing." Agenor pulled out his broad sword from his back and bellowed, "for the next 10 minutes… the crater's off limits."His body and spirit were wrapped by an dominant rhythm of imminent doom. Agenor's body released a burning chaotic curse out in the open. Everyone understood what this meant. A berserk skill."Argh, crap!" Grisha mumbled under her breath before yelling, "All those who are not heart seekers… BACK OFF!"Several horrendous outbursts erupted from the site soon after. The scream of somebody being whipped, crushed, or pounded into the ground accompanied every single outburst. The remaining clan members who were the closest to him were shoved to the ground before they even had a chance to gasp.Agenor's—clocked under a darkest shade of pure entropy—moved all over the area like a living breathing chaos. Under the effects of berserk skill, his resistance to physical pain and his appetite for carnage had reached a point of no return. He started wreaking havoc all o

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
Apaurushya - The Continuum 107: Threat of a Geno-Script
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
Apaurushya - The Continuum 106: Shunya?
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!
Apaurushya - The Continuum 105: Favor
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
Apaurushya - The Continuum 104: Uncanny Idiocy
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
Apaurushya - The Continuum 103: Intrusion Of Numen
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
Apaurushya - The Continuum 102: Caliber Of Death Bringer
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
Apaurushya - The Continuum 101: The Only Escape
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
Apaurushya - The Continuum 100: Bringer Of Death
"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. He wanted
