Creed felt a jittery, numbing sensation inside his brain. Akash's provocative attitude hasn't changed a single bit. The last time Creed met him, something similar had happened. He kept egging Grisha and realized this guy didn't know when to shut up.
Kiara's face was turning red and green, but Akash's taunt didn't go away. Creed didn't like that at all. He could see steak knives coming out of her eyes.
"Hey, hey! Why are you glaring at me like that?" Kiara's lingering killing intent rattled them all, Akash felt his years of his life being shortened, "to be honest, It's not my fault that you got shot down at your very first confession. Besides, if you wanna be a sugar mommy so bad, you can be mine, you know that, right?"
"… you bastard!" Kiara spat bloodlust from her eyes, her voice shuddered, "Cut.. it.. out."
'Damn! This guy is fucking insane. He can rip all of us here to shreds if he wanted to… So this is the body of an ascended human being.'Creed couldn't help but feel spooked when he tried to measure Akash's true strength from the deadening rhythm leaking out of his body. Not to mention his Chakra control also got better from the last time. The Ascension has truly made him a different kind of monster.Regardless, Creed's focus shifted to another figure casually approaching him. It was none other than a beauty who took him to UCC as her plus one. Creed immediately recognized Mira.Her eyes were completely still. Not even the slightest bit of movement was visible in her pupils. However, for some weird reason, Creed felt his senses being gnawed off to ribbons. A gust of dark insanity seemed to be creeping b
"Artemis, you have every right to be angry." Akash's face immediately turned serious. There was not a single trace of that unrestrained goofiness on his face, "I sincerely apologize for getting carried away. I really shouldn't have done that." "Apologize! How about I kick you in the pants and apologize too? I thought of you as one of my closest friends, but I had no idea you hated me to the extent where you would attempt to put a dent in my relationship with such a shameless tactic. You make me sick." "Yes. You are right. I hate to say it, but my curiosity just got away from me. However, let me assure you, Art, that I had no intention of testing his character. I wasn't looking down on him, but if I made you feel that way, I might as well apologize to you." "Artemis! Calm down… It's fine." Creed interrupted the ve
He peeked at Artemis, who was still lost within her thoughts and prepared himself for the worse. Instead of saying something, she took a step closer towards him with lips sewed shut. Moreover, Creed could already see the outline of the smirk that appeared on Olivia's and Jina's lips. Max and Ivan were not as obvious as these two, but a sense of contempt for him still appeared on their faces. At this instant, Creed noticed the expressions of everyone nearby him. The members of the Phoenix Gods had much more docile and neutral expressions than Olivia's group, but that wasn't surprising. Creed expected that both Bakshi brothers must have already known every bit of details about him considering how much time these four spent with each other. Kiara, however, was bot
Creed's eyeball frantically shook in the sockets when he saw an old man blocking their paths. The glistening black tux worn by this old man and his gray beard couldn't be more dandy. He had black hair but his temples seemed to have lost the natural pigmentation, giving the signs of old age catching up to him. A vitalizing elegance dripped from every pore of his skin. However, Creed's attention was light years away from his outer appearance. The only thought that came to his mind right now was 'Death''. Surprisingly, even though this old man didn't have jaw-dropping chakra control, Creed could overhear the alarms of uncertainty and potential hazard constantly blaring inside his mind. In fact, this old man was so strong Creed didn't even bother to gau
Olivia couldn't stop herself from grinning when she saw Artemis putting her own foot on the axe. Jina who stood beside also shot an enigmatic smirk on the twisted outcome. Although, none of them have ever seen Master Bakshi smile before, but today an palpable annoyance was tearing off his face. Most of the people present in the group were already aware of the fact that Master Bakshi is far from some happy-go-lucky kind of person. He was known to have a strict and short-tempered personality. He never discriminated when It came to delivering the punishment whether it's an adult or a kid. Not even his own grandchildren could escape from that fate if they tried to get on his nerves. However, this time Artemis' groundless persistence stacked over her rudeness has truly made him mad.
Creed arm trembled in sheer fury. His breath dampanend. The bullshit excuse that Alia gave made his chest gut wrenching abhor. He could already feel the trace of subjective morality being imposed right in front of his eyes. Moreover, what surprised him the most was that despite belonging to a wealthy family, Artemis was also being treated unjustly because she didn't belong to a clan. 'Does being in a clan justifies it all? Argh… I swear to god… I'm gonna lose it!' However, when he saw the old man standing in front, he had no choice but to gulp his anger. He knew that even if he told the old man the truth, that wouldn't help the situation because the words of clanless don't weigh much. Since Grisha and Akash didn't say anything, convincing the old man all by himself s
Creed's mind was drowning in disgust and fury. From a contemptuous dispute, to the act of falsehood, then to the subject of public entertainment, Artemis was knee deep into the trouble. However, a sharp sound of a buzzer brought him back to reality. His eye landed on the huge holographic screen that appeared above the stage. The screen was displaying the ring up close. However what really grabbed his attention was a sentence that flashed in bold letters saying, "ALL BETS HAVE BEEN PLACED!" He turned his neck back to stage. Since he already had the front row seats, looking at the screen was unnecessary. Despite everything, Creed's ears had turned bright red from the amount of rage he was holding in. Everything that has happened so far was already unbearable but now a goddamn screen to broadcast this si
While others discussed the current turn of events. Master Bakshi and the group were silently watching the battle. None of them uttered a word but all of their eyes were glued toward the ring.Kiara and Mira also had their eyes on the battle. In fact, the best way to put it would be that Kiara's eyes were glued to the battle but Mira couldn't stop gazing at her elder sister.For some reason, Mira had a tint of confusion, discomfort and nervousness in her eyes. Her palms were jittery and Her mind was wrapped with several thoughts.This whole situation has escalated to the point where she was physically uncomfortable. It seemed as if she didn't like this either, and wanted to tell master Bakshi the whole thing from the start but her frightened nerves didn't let her.
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
