"We traveled a bit farther than I expected," Sahra said and we all ran back to the Abrasha Park.
"You have become a lot faster than last time!" Sahra commented as I now hardly struggled to run at a constant speed.
"Well… I, uh, I’ve been doing daily exercises."
"Daily exercises? Is dyeing your hair white also part of the exercise?" She asked, although she really meant it as a joke.
"About that, things happened… I couldn't tell you the details, sorry," I apologized and she just smiled in response.
'Is my white hair really that unorthodox, are anime hairstyles isn't a thing anymore?'
"You will regret crossing swords with KIRA… I swear that within my defeat is the start of our revolution," he declared. Oren loosened his arms and smirked at me. "What the!" I screamed as I jumped away from him. His body became a catalyst for a rune curse to activate. Intense pain then shook my core, and my veins appeared like they were going to pop. I looked at my body and my blood started to burn like a white flame consuming the power inside me. The pain subsided after it spread across my right deltoids towards my left pectoralis. Fortunately, I was able to quickly activate the rune spell enchanted on my clothes to stop the spread of the curse. &n
I was woken up by a loud notification sent to my "Iris Lens", I looked into it and saw that it was from the Association. I sighed as I was a bit tired from the last quest. I went on the floor and did my daily routine and after I sweated a good amount, I went towards the door and as I opened it, Ivana's figure stood up in front of me, with her hand raised up as if she was about to knock. She immediately became flustered as she saw my half naked body, as I painfully waited for her to speak up. "Uhm… I heard about what happened to your last quest, did you really—" "Sorry I don't want to talk about it…" I said without looking at her.
Feeling overwhelmed, I began searching the internet. Right now I'm gathering more information on the three artifacts I got from the Ark of Covenant, so I switched on my Monitor. ~Ting...ning ning ning! There is not much information about it, even after I accessed the items, perhaps it was because two of them were S-tier items. Let's see, the first item is Aaron's Rod. [Item: Aaron's Rod - A-Tier] Aaron's rod that budded was endowed with miraculous power during the Plagues of Egypt that preceded the Exodus. Passive Skill: Increase your holy energy by 10x its original value.&nb
"Sir, do you really believe that Azriel Iliac is the one that you are looking for? I mean, he's an F-tier…""I see no reason not to…" The voice droned. The man who calls himself the Developer gave a weird smirk and handed him a document, "Just continue to monitor him, as for the others, we need to find out what those archdemons are up to.""Very well, Sir…. Ah, before I left we found out something odd in his record just a little earlier. I have an inkling that you might find it interesting," the unnamed NPC said, as he handed a screen file towards the Developer. "Hmm."Reading down the list of Azriel’s activity records, the Developer's eyes became somber, "He joined Deck Order's Guild and Deathly Hollow's A-Tier quests?" "Yes, they listed him as a temporary porter. Currently, he is subjugating the Demon's Lair Quest with the Deck Order's Guild. However, we have yet to hear anything from them."A light filled the man's eyes. He clicked his tongue and swiped the screen, but he had re
It was dense waves of energy. Malice that is strong enough to be given substance. Considering how thick the energy was, it's not an understatement that the creature releasing this energy could be one hell of a beast. I instinctively looked around and it seems that the guild is still a bit composed about the situation. That's a good start, I might've been worried for nothing. This is the world's strongest guild in existence, they could surely handle this much pressure. I tried to reassure myself, as even I have no confidence to defeat whatever is waiting for us there. Despite that my cells are reacting quite differently, I could feel that my battle instinct was itching for a good fight, heck I wanted to fight that beast…."Alright, everyone marching formation!" Hadeon announced, as soon as the collection team finished cleaning off the coast. Suddenly, while I was walking I bumped into someone. "Oh, be careful!" I said as I caught her before completely slipping. I had a closer look
"There is a tremor occuring at the west side of the island's center!" Hadeon immediately gripped his sword after receiving the news. Mr. Mulligan, the man in charge of the temporary hires, suddenly formed a grim expression."Everyone go back to your positions!""Wait, Hannah is missing!" Valhalla walked past the guild members. She worriedly walks around the area looking for her but to no avail it's obvious that she is not nearby. 'Where did that girl go?'Valhalla’s face hardened."It's a Red Alert, Commander. Dangerous amount of energy is being detected on our radar. Judging from that alone it's at the pinnacle of an A-tier monster." Hadeon remained silent for a second, "There is a group of monsters ahead of us." "Defense team, get ready!" Valhalla quickly responded. Everyone was on their guard as a group of monsters rampaged towards them. 'This could go much worse.'It's obvious that they are in a difficult situation. Now the unbeatable A-tier quest is baring its fangs to the
We are now both running on the walls when Hannah decided to assist me. The cloaked guy easily got cornered. I threw my Bandersnatch Short Sword towards him and cut a piece of fabric on his cloak revealing her snow-white skin, and ruby-colored eyes. Her hair was ashen-gray like mine, however hers was braided in a pig-tail. She had this frantic expression as if our presence here is unwanted. "You looked like…." I said but before I could even figure it out her cloak regenerated and covered her head once again. "Why do I feel like I have met you before?" The girl said, however, not as a question but as a guess. Her face expressed sincere disgust that her statement seems to be genuine. I had my doubts but this girl certainly knew that something unusual was going on. "What do you mean…." I asked since I had no idea what she was talking about. Her face became more confused for a second. "Something about you looks awfully familiar…" "Uhm… are you referring to me?" I asked to be sure.
A group of Bandersnatch scattered into the forest, while a few of them decided to face us. Their skin was pale white and they had this nightmarish skull-like face haloed in a wreath of beastial hair. Despite being called lesser demons, they are derived from a notorious species of Pax Demons that usually appear in hellish fables. '…They’re laughing at us.'The two Bandersnatch had lowered their claws and were laughing disgustingly at us. It was as if they were deciding if we are worthy to be hunted or not.Everyone's eyes became sharp. I could feel a certain amount of anxiety on our side. Lesser Demons are known to have notable intelligence, so their actions will be harder to predict compared to a raging beast or monster. Right now, they are eyeing a certain Challenger. 'Hannah Mayfrie.' Perhaps since she is the first person they encountered, or they see her as a threat. 'If I didn't suppress my energy, they would've targeted me as well.' The Bandersnatch's calculating ways annoy
