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.
Olivia's fiendish blade reached Artemis in a split second. However, a dark murky shadow flew towards her like a shade of a vengeful grim-reaper. The glint of accursed killing intent thrust at her own chest made her most abominable nightmare come true in a split second. ~CLANK She saw her plan failing when her blade crashed into a hard surface. Her hand couldn't move forward as if it had hit some kind of boulder. The goosebumps under Olivia's spine blared an insinuating urge to yield her soul in front of this ghost-like apration. As her vision settled, the outline of a figure gradually darkened in her sight. A set of gleaming pupils stark yellow stared back at her as if they were peeking inside her soul. Instead of two, now there were three people inside the ring. How
"My name is Creed Gryffon. Batch-43 cadet, Interplanetary Glitch armed services. I'm 17 years old, licenced glitch hunter with a year and a half of hunting experience inside bhu lok. I would like to switch places with Artemis and take over the battle on her behalf." The moment he said, All of the eyes towards the ring widened. A ghastly shock appeared on their faces. Especially the ones from the clan Phoenix God's. Kiara and others also hand their eyebrows from being startled. Contrarily, Olivia's group was more scornful than shocked. Dollar Twenty's eyes shined for a split second before turning back to normal. Although it happened for a split second, this was the first time Creed noticed any abrupt change in her expressions. "I see…" She replied, "Are you sure
While the Ivan was dealing with confusion and creepiness that came with Creed's demented and nutty behaviour, A few people from the crowd seemed to have lost their mental composure, witnessing the battle so far.They could see and even feel the spiked intensity of the battle from the loud burst of metal clanks that came from the barrage of strikes. However, it was almost impossible to figure out which was stronger, whether Creed's persistent blocks or Ivan's blood curling strikes.Nonetheless, there were three people who were the most shocked among the entire group. Their faces were filled with unexplained confusion and dense perplexity. There was definitely something going one, that was bugging the three of them. Grisha, Kiara and Akash had faces as if someone has pulled a rug under their feet.Kiara gulped.
Creed walked away from the ring and appeared in front of Artemis immediately. "There must be an infirmary somewhere nearby, right?" He asked with a haste, Creed was about to grab her shoulder. However, instead of an assertive reply. Artemis took a step back in panic and unease. "W… What on earth are you?" Her hand trembled in panic, and she pointed at him. "What was that last strike?" "This isn't the time for this discussion!" Creed sighed. "Let's go treat your wounds, first!" "First, tell me, what happened up there? That's exactly the same as my attack… a perfect copy, but 10 times better and refined. Why didn't you tell me you practice Mockingbird as well?" "No
"Brother Creed! We saw you coming this way!" A guy from the group asked,Creed replied with abrupt confusion, "What are you guys doing here?"Creed frowned as he looked at their faces. The images inside his memory flashed and reminded him of the night when he was abducted by a mad Inca Aves on a stranded cliff along with a couple of siblings.The memory was still fresh inside his mind since Creed had never been so close to death, which even made him use his berserk as his last resort. Su Jiang and her brother Wu Jiang were now standing in front of him.Su was wearing a black backless gown with some custom made accessories, contrasting her artistic looks. Wu had a brown tuxedo to match with his leather boots. However, there were two more people with them
"STOP!"Rose yelled when she saw him storming away.She continued, "I can help you with that… In fact, I have one right now."Just when he listened to her words, his feet halted immediately. He turned around and saw her fiddling inside her purse. Soon she pulled out a familiar pill that made his pupils shrunk."Why are you trying to help me?" Creed replied with conspicuous glare, "We just met!""I'm not gonna use it, anyway… So why not give it to someone who really needs it?""Miss Rose, I can't read people's minds, but trust me, I know when they are lying. I don't take help from liars. Now you can tell me the truth or just tell another lie and wast
The anticipation and anxiety that suppressed for so long finally burst with a thundering sound of gargantuan applause. Creed could feel the biting excitement wriggling on his skin. Not just teenagers, even the faces of one of the most prominent members of the clan were also lit up. However, along with excitement and anticipation, a collective tension of the masses also hijacked the surrounding air. Almost the same as the starting line between the runners of a giant marathon. Su and Rose both took a deep breath, as if they were preparing for some kind of intense battle. "Jeez! Why are they so excited about a mere auction? These guys need to chill the fuck out…" "Mere auction!! a mere auction you say??" Miles retorted with a mocking shriek, "Brother Creed!
'Shit!' Creed mumbled under his breath. 'If I had known he was a member of the Immortal Crawlers, I wouldn't have… Fuck! I'm so screwed!' 'Okay.. okay… I need to calm down!' 'As far as I remember, Nobody was there when it happened… if there was anyone, I would have known… ' 'Besides, it's not like I killed him on purpose… he came at me first and it was purely self-defense. Yeah, exactly… they should never hold me accountable for what happened…' 'Wait! That guy didn't die even after I cut off his head… is this some kind of skill… Can all of them do that? Shit! What if they can?' 'Holy crap… is that why they call themselves Immortal Crawlers? Are they really Immortal? And if that's the case, can they come back to lif
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
