Shadow planted her bum on top of the rooftop house while purring like a cat. Her eyes planted firmly on the darkness of the sky.
In the blessed black of the starry night, she gained some peace amid the chaos inside the house. Even in the velvet dark, there was the light of the stars, the gems inside the darkness, the apple of the eyes.
She found solace under it.
The night sky was how I came to wish to fly. The glimmer of the stars was like the beautiful art on the blank canvas. At times she felt as if she could feel it vibrating somehow, whispering in a way the ears couldn’t hear.
“KWARGH!”
“Please don’t run away.”
The sound of the scream
The next morning, Samuel woke up with a fresh body and mind. Even his eyes became clearer and his skin condition improved. He escaped the kip by jumping off it. His half-naked body shivered by a sudden breeze. Easily he grabbed the towel and wrapped it around his upper body.He walked up to the closed door and drew the curtain.The sky had revealed its color and brimmed with life. The sound of birds chirping, the sound of the slapping leaves, and the buzzing employees underneath doing their own chores. He leaned his head against the window, peeking over the diligent workers.The inevitable war was just around the corner. The soldiers had been dispatched to the battlefield.TOK! TOK! TOK!“Lord Samuel, have y
Woooooosh~The battleground was filled with hollow wind. Their battle would take place right in the middle of the graveyard. It wasn’t their choice though. Sadly, this time, they had no say in this upcoming battle.Samuel could only stare mindlessly at the abandoned graveyard. Luckily, he had his task force move all the corpses into a new place so they wouldn’t catch up in the battle like a pitiful deer standing in between two angry elephants.“This is my fight song, take back my life song, prove I’m alright song.” Samuel sang in a melodic voice and wiped the sweat from his forehead.The moving activities had taxed his whole body and the nice scent of his soap had long disappeared. He was now covered in sweat and dirt even though
“The time has come.” Busaba hastened her grip on her bow.The whole graveyard had transformed into the battleground. It was small compared to the size of the army she had. It was also impractical to have a fight inside here, however, due to the nature of the ground, it was the perfect ground for her to win this battle.This ground would help her win this battle unless Shadow intervened. However, according to the source, Shadow currently had a little setback and she couldn’t join them right away.In other words, it was the advantage that she gained after wrecking her brain for two whole weeks to come up with the solution. She also believed that her plan was flawless.On the opposite side were, of course, Samuel’s troops.
Samuel helplessly watched everything unfold. Should he do it, or shouldn’t he? A lot of questions swarmed his head. He couldn’t choose which side is better. Everything became so chaotic.“Listen up. You must pay attention if you want to win against her (Busaba). Never falter, quick-thinking and confident. As long as you have all those three qualities, you will be fine. Just trust your judgment.”Samuel replayed the advice given by Shadow right before he departed to the new main city, right after he was appointed as the new proxy of Country B. The initial goal to be the proxy was to defeat Busaba before he rose into the political world and became the real lord of the country.He had learned a lot fr
“Pft.” Busaba covered her mouth with her hand, concealing her laughter. “You’re so amusing, Samuel.”Samuel gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. “Get ready.” He jumped off the ground, leaping toward Busaba.“No, no.” Busaba raised her hand like the magician was casting the spell. “Rise, my beautiful comrade!”“Huh?” Samuel stopped abruptly.The black creation that arose behind Busaba made him backtracked. He felt ominous about it. She had abundant powerful undead soldiers including that dead Nightwalker, however, this existence felt so much threatened compared to the rest.He saw the black energy that rose into the air that slowly swirled ar
“You’ve surrounded me? You dare!!!” The lich was enraged, resulting in summoning more undead soldiers.“How the fuck you have another set of skeletons when I have already moved all of them to the other sides?” Samuel wondered in annoyance, his eyes quivered angrily.“Human! Do not underestimate me. I can create as many undead as I can as long as I have the fragments of the dead.”‘Fragments of the dead? What is that?’Some bizarre information just registered inside his brain, though no answer was available. He still didn’t understand how the lich worked. How could the lich summon the skeleton from underground even though he had transferred all the skeletons available?
The strapping massive arrows banged against the shield and everything around them.BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!The arrows mercilessly banged against the sturdy shield. Samuel was quite relaxed not until he saw the trembled body and arms of the normal soldier that was protecting him. He clicked his tongue out of his self-contempt.He asked for two assistants, however, he only had one. The magician was busy enough to keep up with the uninvited arrows while the elf was focusing on healing his body. And most ironically, he couldn’t wield his power while healing.“Shit, shit, shit.” Samuel cursed at himself. “Hurry.” He slapped Eva’s forearm, urging the lady to make haste.“This is fast enough, Lo
“Lord, as far as I can see, Samuel didn’t do well without you.”“Yeah?”Sabrina peeked at the battleground at the highest ground. They were already lingering around the battleground and hanging out around there as if they were on a picnic.Shadow was sipping her watermelon juice with dangling legs while sitting at the edge of the boulder. Sabrina was standing next to her as her eyes trained on the battleground. Thanks to her power, she could cover up the whole battleground and watch the battle at any angle.“Anubis is having a feast with Lilo,” Sabrina reported her finding to Shadow voluntarily. “Samuel is struggling with a lich.”“Ah, really?” Shadow did
