Everyone in the group was experienced enough. He also knew that If Nakiya and Colt were here as well, they surely would have been able to get out of this situation without even needing his help.
Nevertheless, he understood it was possible for them to draw out enough power to land systematic assaults on the beasts. The only thing they lacked right now was support against the overwhelming numbers.
One by one, Maira stamp-out 23 Malakas in approximately 2 minutes. Being an archer herself, she got immediately accustomed to the timings of Creeds's shots.
Although she was being surrounded by at least 15, the chain mace proved to be a lifesaver. Her range of strikes wasn't just limited to close quarters anymore.
She could strike the beast from a distance a
The closest Malaka hurried to grab her neck, but she dodged sideways and precisely dug her rapier inside his left shoulder socket. She couldn't detach his entire arm, but the deadly precision made his arm go limp. Before Malaka could figure out what just happened, she did the same with his right shoulder and left knee to make him kneel on the ground. Before she could get out of the pinch, another one jumped at her. Fortunately, she was able to temporarily dismantle his joints too. Beasts kept rushing at her, but she kept dodging left and right while disabling their joints at a violent pace. Though It seemed like a smooth battle, her forehead was drenched in sweat. The burden kept increasing and so far, even a single arrow had yet to come to help her. She mutila

"Every time the second arrow penetrates their skull, it simultaneously hits her rapier as well.""So what ? The impact still should not be enough to kill it…""Yes! That's what I thought at first but the arrow's impact transfers the kinetic energy to the rapier's thin blade, ultimately making the blade vibrate violently inside the beast's head, scrambling their brains from the inside.""The second arrows' primary job isn't to land the killing blow, it's to make the blade go berserk. When the arrow invades the beast's skull, her rapier becomes more lethal. Unlike their strong bones, inside are soft so the rapier causes irreversible damage and kills from inside."Agenor added, "however, this doesn't mean his second arrow is adding nothing to the synchronic impact. I
Agenor stood dazed while an anesthetic blur of consciousness wrapped around him like an inescapable blanket. His mind couldn't comprehend the stream of volatile thoughts that swirled inside his head.Almost as if someone pulled the rug from under his feet, while several predefined conclusions started crumbling like a house of cards. He clenched his fist and stared at Creed, who was cleaning the bloodstains from his arrows on the ground."She told you this?""Yes!""Any chance of gaps in the memory...maybe a cognitive bias…""Not sure… but she seemed confident!"Agenor kept phasing out while trying to sort out his thoughts. His changing expressions did not bothe
Five figures ran like wind amidst the darkness of the ever gleaming aurora. They all had neutral expressions and eyes upfront. All five members of the Rha decided to search for Colt and Nakiya. So far, none of them have any idea which direction they ran off, nor did they encounter any clue. Therefore, Agenor suggested searching in the deepest section of the scorched fields, to which they all agreed. The idea was to search for the most dangerous places first. Everyone understood that there was a high chance that they might both be dead. However, they could not find their bodies yet, so Agenor, Falco, and Maira latched onto a hope. The atmosphere of anticipation and yearning was almost tangible. 17 minutes had already passed. Every member had his eyes open, yet they couldn't find anything. Not to mention Creed also
"Nothing is concrete yet..."Agenor replied. "I do not know what is going inside his head, and now that we have come across this... I just want to let you know that something bad is going on." "I feel sick just from the thought of him doing this to Nakiya...but the possibility still exists! Dangers have enough potential to turn into a catastrophe when the picture is not clear… This situation is convoluted, so you all should be prepared for the worst! " "..." None of them said anything in return. Now that Agenor had revealed everything, Falco and Maira's faces turned grim. None of them wanted to believe in the sickening possibility, but ignorance wasn't an option either. Creed could sense the inception of the hostility and doubt inside both of them. This was exactly wh
His voice dampened and, without even batting an eye, Creed uttered."I've found her…."The moment he said the words, everyone felt a burst of spark jolting through their blood vessels. A rush of adrenaline took over their muscles. Even if this was a false alarm from Creed's side, they had to take this seriously.This time, Creed had no concerns for the formation they were following. His mind was constantly ringing bells that recorder his priorities in a fraction of a second. His leg pushed against the ground, and he blasted forwards.The wriggling of the worms, the rustling of the leaves, a gust of air echoing through the bushes... sequence sounds began to invade his eardrums while forging a rigorous territorial blueprint in front of his eyes. Creed's percep
A pair of daggers and a huge broadsword, pitted against a glimmering azure lance, gave birth to slurs of blinding sparks. Creed eyes shook in their sockets while trying to keep the track of their agile pace.Despite being a scout, Colt was able to hold his ground against both of them. This not only surprised Agenor and Falco, but also Creed. He never realized that Falco was this good in close combat. However, when looked closely, Creed realized that this was the demonstration of his true scouting abilities.3 minutes into the battle, and Creed still couldn't understand what to make of the situation. Both Agenor and Falco rushed their weapons, but no matter what angle they chose, Colt could dodge nevertheless. Falco and Agenor kept trying to pin him down, but traitor was slippery as an eel.Creed also not
Hello Readers, Thanks for staying with me for this long. I know this is sudden but making you all dangle for a petty frequency of uploads is just too cruel. That's why I have decided to mark this as a conclusive checkpoint i.e. mark this book as completed. Been a wonderful journey so far. Every comment I have seen or read (good or bad) has brought a froth of emotions that drove me to write my heart out. In my eyes, as a story, Apaurushya has proven itself as a story with a potential of unimaginable horizon. Every character has surprised me by their actions. Each of them have a life. Almost as if I don't need to write them; they can write themselves. Nevertheless, this isn't the end. We haven't even scratched the surface of what really lies there beyond the ungodly boundaries of these Akashik space anomalies. If you wanna connect, bug me or l
"Jake, wait! I'm coming with you!""Mira! You're here too…""Yeah! Just let me come with you… ""Nope! Just stay here, there is nothing much for you to do...I'm gonna get him cleaned, and drop him to his home!""Come on! Don't be like that…""No means no…" Jake shunned her down. "both of you just stay put…it's better that way. He messed with the alliance, so it's best you keep your distance for now.""Don't worry about me!" Artemis interrupted, "Also, I could say the same to you! How is, you helping him out any different than me!""Alliance has eyes everywhere… I already got myself involved so
Creed felt a numbing headache from all the lights that ravaged his vision. One of his knees immediately gave up and kneeled on the ground. Fortunately, Jake grabbed him by his shoulders before he could fall down."Argh… come on… Stand straight you idiot…""Fuck you! I'm trying, asshole… give me a break!""Serves you right, fucker… " Jake replied with a grunt, "Nobody asked you to throw your sword at her when you're bleeding from your ass! Fucking show off…""Show off, that's what you think?… I was trying to kill her!""Kill her! Seriously, dude, what's gotten into you?" Jake frowned as he dragged him forward. "Better, keep your anger in check. If it wasn't for Miss Luna and me,
"Just do what I say…" Luna's domineering voice broke from the sheer rage, "Or I will cut that bird and shove its head inside your ass."Creed's hair on the neck stood up, and he gulped a mouthful. He immediately turned around and limped back towards the cage in haste.As he saw the Little gobbler almost passed out from exhaustion, a sense of urgency rose. He arched his back to an extreme and swung his right arm.At the last moment, his mayhem saber appeared inside his hand. The saber hit the cage and a loud mechanical screech boomed in the hall.~CLANKUnfortunately, Despite Creed using so much force, the cage did not break. The horrifying sound of metal made Little Gobbler tremble inside.
With his unrestrained perception, his eyesight has been giving him trouble with the information overload. Because of this, his brain has temporarily blurred his vision this entire time. He couldn't see the people who interpreted the battle, only the dark shadows that were too close to him. Creed has been fighting while completely dependent on his other senses. However, just from the brief exchange, he subconsciously understood that this wasn't enough against the one who stood in front. The sheer rage has pushed him beyond the edge. Creed's vision was so dark and dingy that he couldn't even see his face in such a close combat. His brain was a complete mess and volatile perception had put him in an aggressive state, almost like a machine programmed to annihilate whatever comes in front. All Creed could see wa
'So she has ascended too…' Akash murmured to himself, 'bad! This couldn't get worse... Gryffon… What are you going to do now? You better run this time...' The pressure that burst out was something Akash and Kiara were already familiar with, because the intensity was the same as his own rhythm. This kind of pressure could only come from a person who has ascended from the boundaries of bhu-lok. Kiara and others were also freaking out right now. Artemis and the four siblings' faces have turned pale already. They all understood that this just might be the end of this entire thing. There was no way Creed could stand up to her. His level of power was far too low compared to hers. Even with his berserk skill, catching up to an ascended individual is just not possible for a mere elite, no matter how strong. The best cour
A lustful blush appeared on Grisha's cheeks and a huge smile appeared on her rosy lips. Her chest tightened with the shock waves that appeared. She rubbed both of her palms and blew into it."So this is what she gave birth to… the blood doesn't lie… I just never noticed… A fire that burned him into something else… he isn't just a chakra freak anymore… he never was… He is what he's always been…""The son of Queen..."The entire went numb when they bathed under the demonic intent oozing out of the blade. The dazzling sparks that burst from the clashes burned into the eyes of the observers.Not just Creed's blade, but his entire body shined with glimmering scarlet. There was no corner on the stage that hadn't been
"I ask you again!" Creed shot a glare, "Which one of you touched my bird?"The man coughed the ground with his bloody organs. The stage boiled under the tension undefined in all senses. Yet, Dollar Twenty and the other five stood unfazed by the turn of tables.However, amidst the chaos, the audience's guts flipped upside down. Both McConnell and Jiang siblings felt their lifespan shortening.Artemis' eyes turned teary. Her ears burned red when she saw gallons of blood gushing down from Creed's head, dripping all the way to his chin.Kiara, Akasha and Grisha looked at the scene with tightened chests. A razor-sharp sensation crawled inside their blood vessels. Not just them, but several hunters from the crowd now had their undivided focus on the unbridled escal
"Little… Gobbler…" Every hair on Creed's skin stood up straight. His very soul almost rejected his body, and images around him dulled to a standstill. He could hear his heart thumping inside his eardrums. A chronic corruption leaked into his eyes when he heard Dollar Twenty start the bidding. "The bidding for the High-Tier Inca Aves starts with $300 Thousands!" "$350 thousands!" "$400 thousands!" "$450 thousands!" "$500 thousands!" The sound of chatters began to fade out. Creed vision blacked out and a high-pitched siren hijacked his eardrums. His pulse spiked up to a gh
