The jarring intensity of the murderous intent sent shivers down her spine. The elusive madness that oozed out of him made every previous wound on her body throb like a pulse.
An aura denser than the incarnation of corruption seeped out of his body and swallowed everything that came under its grip. The moment it touched her, War Queen's sense started tingling supersonic.
Chills ran up across her hourglass waist all the way to her neck as she bathed in the aura. This was different from killing intent. It seemed denser, almost like magnified instincts.
The A-rank technique was no joke. Creed understood what the War Queen said was the truth. The time constraints to learn the technique was unrealistic. However, he wasn't going to let this matter settle this way.
H
"Check and mate!"Creed jumped up in the air to dodge at the last moment with his saber.A vindictive grin plastered on her face. Altogether, the strike changed direction and bolted straight at his gut. War Queen's heart fluttered into paradise as she could finally see the opening.The blade was just a couple of centimeters away. However, a faint voice bubbled up in her ears. His body was still in the air, but his calm and dull voice invaded her ears like a sharp shriek."Now I understand why your family calls it 'Hollow Strikes'...."The moment she heard his faint voice, the blood in her veins went cold. Her smile sewed shut as she tried to understand what he meant. The beads of sweat grew bigger on her forehead, as if she s
His breath was uneven and congested. His hair was wet, lips dry and eyes succumbing to tiredness.He opened his eyes with dreadful nausea and a buzzing headache. Mental exhaustion was apparent on his body. His feeble hands and feet were trembling from the backlash, one of the common side effects of excessive, unrestrained killing intent.Killing intent was a double-edged sword. The dominance of psyche he gained with killing intent might make his opponent feel caged. However, the same rhythm would rattle himself as well.That's why he never appreciated people directing their killing intent at him needlessly. His perception was too much of a pain in the ass. The denser the killing intent, the ruthless the repercussions would be.Besides, too much killing intent can a
Bhu-lok public shelter; Inside a lavish restaurant sat a pale-skinned youth dressed in a formal suit, presentable enough.Although this was a restaurant, by the looks of people sitting, drinking, and chattering in clusters, it seemed more like a lavish tavern. Immaculate tableware, hygienic environment, utility bots serving the customers with their orders, It was far from the image of a traditional chaotic tavern.He noticed that, if not all, most of the customers inside were seniors and adults. Out of all the people present inside, he was the youngest. Although there was no written sign, this restaurant was a gathering place for adult hunters.This was again reaffirmed by the fact when the waiter, who came to ask for his order, lightly frowned at his choice of soft beverage and not the hard one.
Creed immediately felt his knees were powerless. Maira had asked him to give them some privacy, but he couldn't get up from his seat. A hand was on his shoulder that didn't let him budge even an inch."Stop intimidating him," She shot a glare at the one who stood next to Creed, "Master has already agreed about this."The man with the broadsword interrupted."If he gets intimidated by this, then there is no point… I don't know how you got, master, to agree to this facade, but I don't like this decision! A chain is as strong as its weakest Link.""Yeah! Stop sabotaging the party, Maira!" The second guy, who had held Creed, interrupted. "This is a terrible decision for us as well as for him!""I am not sabotaging the Part
Creed couldn't directly peek at her because she was standing behind him. All he could do was take a quick peek at her and pull his gaze away.His perception told him that even if she was not directly looking at him, he was still under her peripheral gaze.Creed immediately hypothesized a simulation where he made a sudden hostile move. He realized that he wouldn't survive even half of those hypothetical scenarios.'She is good!'Even though she looked petite and thin, he could sense a coldness oozing out of her. For some reason, Creed felt a sense of threat bursting out of her rhythm.He also understood that, although it wasn't at his level, her perception was still decent enough. This fact confused him even
Creed was now outside on a secluded open field, away from the public. Maira and others stood a couple of meters away from him.Since this was just an impromptu test, they were as prepared as people under a pandemic. Yet, somehow they were able to find what seemed like an open field near the restaurant, as well as some pieces of equipment.Creed could have just used his Bow-type Soul Armas that he got from Manticore's last kill, but they didn't allow him. This was a test of skills, Soul Armas would ruin the entire purpose of the test. He didn't have any problem with that either.He grabbed an appropriate bow that suited him the most and played with it a bit to get a feel for the sudden change in equipment. Creed knew that no arrow or a bow is ever perfectly tuned when it comes from a manufacturer.
~thump ~thumpSomewhere inside the darkest corner of the Glitch, a woman in her 20s ran. Heart thumping so fast as if it would burst out her bleeding chest any second now.~thump ~thumpShe ran like her life depended on it. Although she was dragging her feet with all her might, yet she couldn't escape the sense of a hovering presence.~thump ~thumpMost of—what seemed like an Armor type Soul Armas—was torn apart into shreds. Her thighs were throbbing with painful muscle cramps, and her waist was bleeding from the entire left side.The Soul Armour over her right leg was completely torn apart, revealing huge burns. The armor above her waist was also gone, exposing
Despite all this, there was something else that distinguished Malaka from other beasts of the same tier.The actual reason why Malakas were considered exceptions is because of an awful anatomical process inside their bodies that researchers casually called 'foul puberty'.Though it might sound funny at first, the researchers coined this term after observing the appalling behavior that would terrify every feeble-minded.Malakas are abominations who didn't care about evolution or anything else. They are more inclined or simply bound by their sickening desires, which are an abhorrent by-product of their disturbing biological process.These creatures have an unquenchable lust and terrifying barbarity.The weirdest par
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
