She pointed at the bow-stand in the corner.
"Alright! Go, pick one!"
He tried to decline, "Ma'am I would rather not,"
Before Creed could say anything more, an arrow dug itself in between his feet. Her eyes shot a freezing glare that sent shivers up his spine.
"Don't make me repeat myself, Cadet Gryffon!"
He sighed heavily and brought a bow that he felt was good enough for him. Maira looked at his choice and smirked even more.
"Are you sure about that choice? This is your last chance if you wanna pick something else!"
"This is just fine!"
Even if Creed hadn't attended any of he
=>KNOCK - collide with (someone or something) and giving them a hard push. =>Nock - Fit (an arrow) to the bowstring ready for shooting. => Fluke - Something good that has happened that is the result of chance instead of skill or planning.
Inside the military cafeteria, three girls of the same age group were having lunch. More than eating food, there was giggling and chattering. They were sitting in the corner. Yet, their group was indeed the center of attention for several eyes inside the cafeteria. One of the girls had dark hair, elegant cheekbones, and a pointy nose. She had frizzy hair gently hanging over her shoulder. Despite having average facial features there was something captivating about her, perhaps it's simply her personality. Her name was Remy Adler. The second one has much more refined facial features. Her glittering blue eyes and rose petal lips seemed irresistible and delicate. Yet, her conversation etiquette and unrestrained giggling indicated a mixture of self-confidence and toughness. Her name was Regina Kain, she was Jake
"Cadet Gryffon, do you mind if I borrow some of your time?" Creed swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His pulse elevated as he got up from his seat. "Yes, of course, ma'am!" He took a tone that couldn't be any more respectful. Yet, his armpits were drenched, "How can I help you?" "No! Not here!" She shook her head and moved towards the exit. Creed had no choice but to follow her outside. His legs were jello and his brain was melting. He cursed himself for showing off too much. While this happened, Jake and Fang peered at each other; utterly clueless. They both slack-jawed, their eyes shook in their sockets as if they both had the same question for each other, 'What is happening?'.
[~Leaping Hyena Killed~] [Gained Saturation Points 0.34] [~Toxic Sloth Killed~] [Gained Soul Crystals +1 ] [Gained Saturation Points 0.1] [~Scaled Cobra Killed~] [Gained Saturation Points 0.6] [~Blood Slug Killed~] [Gained Saturation Points 0.2] Creed's kill-count was also increasing slowly, but also gradually. For the past two days, he had started to use his own
"Damn! He really won!""Hahaha, this punk really defeated her in close combat!""What an absurd strategy that was?""Did he planned that? Or was that just a coincidence?"Several people in the audience also had a smile on their faces including Jake, Grisha, and Fang. Creed also had a smirk. He knew that this was a bizarre strategy; he didn't hate it either. In the end, the result matters.Aria's mistake was that she did not give herself a chance to analyze the ongoing battle. Her mind was dead set on finishing the opponent by an overwhelming force, which ultimately backfired on herself.She tried to break his bow by repetitive attempts but forgot that her own weapon is not invinci
"Match Ends, Winner - Jia Ning!""Ouch! That's gotta hurt...""What the hell was that?""Fucking hell... She destroyed him!""Didn't she just start training recently… What in god's name happened?""Jia Ning… I didn't know she was this strong!""Does that mean she is now one of the strongest 5 of our batch?""This is just great...she is beautiful, rich and strong ...could god be any more unfair!""Shit...I'm never making any lewd remarks on her…"Unaware of the whispers, Jia's gaze immediately landed on her watch that flashed
"Match Ends, Winner - Marcus Willis!"The announcement and Marcus' win spooked several cadets in the front row. Nobody understood what happened all of a sudden.Creed and Jake both turn their heads at Fang. His face was dripping with sweat and eyes rolling in the sockets as if he had been caught red-handed.Jake mumbled, "So you taught him a berserk skill?""No, I didn't""Don't lie!""It's not a berserk skill. It's something else!"Jake and Creed both had skeptical glare. Fang sighed and opened its mouth."A look-alike divergent of Limiters. It's called the 'Domain'!"
Creed's eyes shined as he saw Alan fighting against Adam Northwood.Earlier he was dubious about Alan's persistent nagging in the library. He kept bugging him more than necessary. For that reason, Creed always gave him partially vague advice; the kind where he had to do his own research to infer any fruitful conclusion.All those advices wasn't just advice but theory were more of additional homework and practice methods.Creed thought he wasn't doing them at all. However, now he was now sure that Alan was not just bugging him needlessly. He was trying to improve and was making a genuine effort to learn. His fight with Adam was enough proof.Sadly, he also knew that Alan would lose this match. Adam's fighting caliber was way ahead of him. Yet Creed was impressed by
The matches went on, and soon enough another familiar name was announced. It was Ryan Miller's turn. On the other side was a cadet named Carl Fritz.Creed looked at Ryan's face and realized that he couldn't be any more nervous. The amount of sweat dripping from his forehead was enough proof.Nevertheless, if looked from Ryan' perspective, his nervousness was reasonable.After watching his batch mates' energetic battles, he was already demoralized by this point. So far, Ryan has only killed weak and mindless beasts before but he had never hurt an actual person.Also, Creed never did any one-on-one with him while his batch mates had already isolated him for being weak. He never got the chance to engage in battle with a real person before, much less hurt them.&n
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
