He had shit loads of questions. However, their expressions were enough. Their facial expressions were answers themselves. Therefore, he chose to take a step back instead of insisting on playing his own game.
“Do you remember, though?” He sighed bitterly.
“What?”
“Ah! Do you mean the game? 'The chase us' game?” Smile was recalled at the beginning of the conversation before it escalated.
“Yes, I did tell you that we will play a different game.”
“So, it’s a different game from the start?” Sleepy rubbed his eyes with his long sleeve and stood tall.
“Are you done crying?” Black Shadow raised his brow.<
Game~Game~Let’s play a game~A familiar yet creepy song was sung by him so suddenly.“Oh shit!” Smile wielded his power, in an attempt to grab Black Shadow’s leg.“Blackie!!!” Hisoka warned him.Smile tried to pull Black Shadow closer using his power, yet to no avail. Not only he didn’t budge, it was hard to grab his leg. “Gotcha!” When Smile succeeded.Black Shadow’s right leg was pulled by the invisible force toward Smile but he just smiled it off as the song continued.I choose you, you and you,Let’s play together,Hisoka went into a frantic state. “What are you doing not pulling him to us?” He was practically shouting at this point. Panic rose within himself.Smile…” Sleepy called him nervously.“I– I can’t. I can’t!” Sleepy’s teeth rattled together as he went down on his knees, begging desperately.The song brought trauma not only to Sleepy but to Hisoka and Smile. Me and you,We are together,Forever.“This freak!!!” Hisoka attacked Black Shadow.A massive hand suddenly eme
Smile, Hisoka and Sleepy nodded at each other before they stealthily went toward their designated area. Smile was in front of him, Hisoka was at his left and Sleepy was at his right.Steadily, they charged their power.Black Shadow scoffed and applauded at their baseless actions. “You know… your power won’t work on me, right?”“You did not know that.” Sleepy snarled at him like a barking dog.“Yeah, yeah, for sure. Come at me at once.” He tightly held the twins as if his life depended on it.He knew that he couldn’t trust those three. These three were taught by Black Shadow himself. Dirty play, opportunist, and cold-blooded. They were the almost perfect replica of him. They would spare no room for mistakes and would utilize all opportunities available just to win.The thought made him shudder.“You are terrifying.” He scratched his itchy chin.“Well, thank you.” Smile said humbly.“All thanks to our beloved teacher.” Sleepy hummed in the matter-of-factly tone.“Thank you, teacher.” Hi
“Are you sure we are doing something acceptable?” Hisoka asked, biting his lips. Subconsciously, his heart was nagging for him to stop while his brain was fighting against it. Part of him wanted to win so much, while the other part was just chilling. He couldn’t decide which part he should take on. “Can we really do this?” He asked for the second time. It’s been only a few days since they were properly facing each other and now, they were already at each other throats with the killing intent just to win a stupid content created by themselves. To be fair, he didn’t know where it went wrong. “I should part ways with him with a smile on our faces. Not like this. Not when I am trying to bury my youngest alive for the sake to win this fight.” He became so chatty the moment the water slowly rose and now, it had covered half of the hole’s ground area. “Can they escape?” “Gosh!” Smile’s face distorted. “Can you stop talking for a while?” “I’d never take you for a chatty person, Your
“Guys…” Black Shadow tilted his head sideways and hit his head with his palm, dropping any drop of water that’d been clogging his ear. “Water is the last straw.”Smile and Sleepy blinked at Hisoka while Hisoka's whole face was as white as a sheet.“Everything is barely audible.”Again, Smile and Sleepy sent a secret message through their eyes, planning something inside their eyes. It was ironic, really.“What are you guys thinking about?” He arched his brow, wondering.Only then did they realize their mistake. Their fingers curled and knees buckled. Eyes rolled to the back.“I can hear you remember?” He tapped his own head with a knowing smirk. “You…” “Blackie…”Smile and Sleepy whimpered like wet puppies.Strengthening his heart, gripping his chest, he blew out nervous air. “Keeping your oath when?” Hisoka’s eyes wavered.“Stop.” Black Shadow shook his head. “Stop harassing me.” He blinked playfully.Again, Hisoka was baffled. “Never thought my genuine question would be harassing n
The ground violently. A few trees fell and the ground collapsed. Nothing near was spared, including dazed Sleepy and Smile. They were terrorized by the trauma inflicted by Black Shadow. At the same time, another battle ensued. Two different powers soon clashed with each other. The pink aura attacked him, pierced through everything that came in between, on the other hand, Black Shadow prepared for something else. Both the pink aura and the bundle of cards rushed toward Black Shadow while Black Shadow simply smirked at him. “Stop!” He ordered effortlessly. BOM! The attacks were abruptly stopped and pierced through the ground instead. The ground began to become unstable and shook angrily in the aftermath. The dust flew around and created a temporary distraction. Yet, Black Shadow didn’t stop there and used up all the chances given. “Hey! Attack!” Hisoka couldn’t think much before he heard the death sound. ROOOOOOAR! The sound of massive lions roared angrily from his back. He
“Man, I’m getting pissed. I told you to use your body to your advantage, don’t I?” He shouted angrily. “When?” Hisoka retorted with the same energy. He didn’t hear any single instruction, but the murderous intent was too obvious even if he wanted to act blind. “I did!” Black Shadow threw a punch. “Kah!” Hisoka rolled yet again. “That is cheating.” ROAR! The two lions came and threw their claws as well. “Great! Now, you’re ganging up on me.” He flipped off the ground and used his hand to push his body to the other side before standing on his toes. “That is not fair.” “We don’t care.” Black Shadow scoffed and lunged at him once again. Hisoka stiffened when he saw the yellow and red eyes come forth with a dagger. He nearly stumbled backward but threw another sphere of wind at him just to scramble away from the situation. “This is not fair.” He screamed and ran away. “Hah!” Black Shadow stopped his attack and stood dumbfoundedly in the empty space. “What did he just do?” Grrr
The agony scream became so near at one point. They were ready to catch whoever the man was. But, their sons were so sure about one thing.The man who was rushing toward the with the highest speed ever was none other than Hisoka. Which was also weird. Hisoka that they knew was so polite, robust, and elegant.Or maybe they were wrong.“HELP! ME~~~!” The voice was approaching.And the moment that they were waiting for revealed itself.“Hisoka?”“For real?”“I–” “Geez.”The parents were stunned to speak.“Oh!” Hisoka’s panicked face turned brighter the moment he spotted the people that he waited so much for. “Your Majesty… please help me. Your daughter is crazy.”It happened too fast. No one could blame anyone.In a single leap, Hisoka was already behind Aidan and Malikul.“Protect me from that maniac.” His body trembled with fear.“Brother!”At the same time, the chaser stopped right in front of them with the ugliest laughter that colored the whole forest.He tilted his head like an owl
“What the fuck are you doing?” Hisoka screamed furiously as soon as he met Smile and Sleepy.Aidan was dumbfounded at the setup.Right now, the two lions were curled up comfortably near the trees, disregarding the chaotic aftereffect that surrounded them. It was clear that they had their own fight and battle. Meanwhile, Malikul didn’t even know what he was surprised at. Because of how calm they were? Or because they were unbothered? Or he was so fascinated by the picnic setup. Those two worked harder to please them, so it seems.Sitting on the beach chair, leaning one elbow on the table, coffee sloshed from his cup. Smile immediately placed down the cup and slightly bowed at them. Sleepy followed suit.“Greeting–”“Drop the formality.” The lion's mother dismissed any kind of formality.“If you say so.” Abruptly, he sat back. “As we all know, we are not bound by your formality.”“You’re so good with your mouth.” The lion's mother walked up toward Smile and gave him a small kiss on his
Black and Teal landed at the training ground where Shadow was. Their clean attire fluttered around, eyes focused on Shadoe who was harassing her sparring partners which consisted of Albert, Firash, Aidan, Dhia, and also Musa. Watching those people's haggard faces and tattered clothes, Teal covered her mouth as a nostalgic feeling crept under her skin. It was not a great experience. Although, it increased her prowess, power, ability to wield her GIFT, and strength. Still, it wasn’t a pleasant experience knowing how brutal Shadow could be. “I think we need to rescue them.” “Should we?”Black mumbled while stroking her chin while Teal shivered at the thought alone. Then, both of them wavered their hands as those people took notice of them and pleaded with their eyes.“Should we?”“... we should, should we?”Black asked cunningly and Teal sighed in resignation. If they don't save them, they might hit their limit soon. In normal circumstances, it would be ideal, however, not right now.
“Hmmm… are those the ships that we need to destroy?” “Apparently so, Blue.”“Seriously?”“Yup, yup.”“... that thing is gigantic. What the…” “Fu fu fu. Believe me, I thought so too, Blue.”Blue and Pink were standing right in front of the naval ship. Blue was standing on top of the ice he created while Pink was flying, fluttering her flower’s wings behind her back.They were in the middle of the sea with nothing in it. They were sure that the mermen would be ambushing. They expected it to a certain extent, however… what they didn’t expect was the oblivious approach.The naval ships filled with countless beastmen, no. hundreds of confused beastmen. Both Pink and Blue didn’t smell particularly strong.Blue seemed delighted but Pink was quite vexed. “Did we get the weakest link?” She flipped open her paper fan and fanned it harder.“I don’t know. Feels like I am in heaven.”Pink gnashed her teeth and glared at her partner.“What?” Blue acted innocent.“You and your stupid attitude.” S
“Look. there’s an ass picture of the supposed dragon lord.” Green mumbled next to White.“I can see that, Green.” White tried to control her lips from vomiting.“Just alerting you.”“Thank you.”Green and White were disguising themselves as a wizard and a witch. Wands at each hand.“Young man,” a soft touch was placed on Green.Green reflexly turned his head at the old lady next to him. His green eyes dilated a mere second before a sweet smile emerged. “Yes, beautiful lady?” “Ho ho ho,” the old lady that looked not more than 70 years old radiantly chuckled. “How sweet you are.” White looked away, acting like Green and she wasn’t related. The old lady might appear 70, but she knew better, that the old lady was centuries old.“Do you know what is the meaning behind this painting?”Green stroked his chin, pondering at the ass painting – again, the supposed dragon lord. He wasn’t sure what to say. It was literally the buttcrack of Ferdinand. How’d he know? The description was literall
Bzzzzzzt~The sharp sound of electricity traveled across the metal factory.Unlike Grey and Brown, their destination was a metal factory. Thanks to kind-hearted Grey, they changed their destination. It was the closest and it was on the ground.Everyone knew Orange didn’t do well underground due to old trauma. Hence why Grey decided to give in. As always. Also, they all knew that Orange was Grey’s favorite. Of course, Grey denied the claim and the issue died there. As usual.They strolled inside as if they were visiting the factory, not invading. Meanwhile, the enemies were panicking.“Abad’s been hit. There’s someone out here–” The voice that was shouting through the radio before cutting out. Huh? The fuck? Abad’s hurt?“Captain Ayham, the left side is clear,” Barqi said right after that. “We’re moving, heading to the main pathway.” Ayham gritted his teeth.He was in the controller room. CCTV captured the activities inside the factory. However, the place where the enemies were situ
Tap! Both of them landed right in the middle of the nothingness. It was barren. Sand, rock, and cactus. That’s all.It was a freaking desert.“This is the right place.” Brown adjusted his mask.Grey raised his arm into the air and pulled out his middle finger and felt the air.“Why must that one?” Brown was tired of his antics.“As long as I can do my work,” retorted Grey nonchalantly. “What about your situation?” Slightly turned his head at Brown.“I have a clear vision.” Brown closed his eyes, feeling the movement underneath. “How many?” He tilted his head. Something was wrong. The weather felt wrong for some reason. The density of air was different than usual.“Approximately 50 beastmen on each floor. I could be wrong.”“And how many floors do they have?” He opened his eyes and stared at the sky.“Approximately… three.” Grey counted the clouds in the air. “Three? Are you sure?” Brown tilted his head and set his jaw, feeling the vibration even the smallest one. “Wait a minute!
“Wild Bunny, gather!” Black clapped her hands, calling the rest of the restless members.“What are we? Fucking school kids?” Orange murmured silently, his steps still trudging toward Black.“Shut your stinky mouth.” Brown clicked his tongue.“What a fool.” White shook her head.“You’re the last thing I want to hear.” Teal groaned.“We ain’t fighting.” Pink pushed both their heads at once while walking past them.The rest of them were laughing inwardly.Once they gathered, Black placed a transparent bowl with numerous folded papers in it. Her black eyes latched on each one of them, wriggled her brows petulantly.“As usual, we’ll choose our area the Old Way.”“Ugh! I hate it.” Blue murmured amongst them. The voice filled with annoyance.“We must use this method to ensure fairness, Blue Bunny.” Blue rolled his eyes shut and slumped his head on Pink’s shoulder.“I’ll pick the paper for us.” Pink raised her hand.“Me… will do.” White raised her hand as well.Gold nodded at Black.“Alright
Flashback! “Hey! Do you want to hear a secret?” Shadow asked right after her wedding took place.All the Underworld family gathered around. A secret? Just you, and the rest of us? Ehe., hehehe. Oops. sorry that had to come out. Go on.” Brown and Orange clasped their hands in full happiness.“What is it?” Black swallowed hard. “Don’t tell me…”“Something is wrong.” Captain from Mandrill Monkey arched his brow in anticipation.“I also can feel it in my dick.” Daddy from Mandrill Monkey stroked his chin.“God damn it, Daddy.” “I am only telling the truth. My dick can feel it.” He had no remorse, no shame.“Please don’t talk about that in the open, I guess?”“About what? Dick? Why? Because we have ladies here?”“Yes, and it is inappropriate.”“Why? They can talk about their vajayjay if they want to.”“Damn it, Daddy! Stop it!” Captain clasped his mouth and dragged him away.The rest of the Mandrill Monkeys were cackling as if there was no tomorrow. “After analyzing the movement of the
“Sniff… really?” Phantom rubbed his nose against Shadow’s neck.“Yes. I can’t live without you. I swear.” She tried to appear convincing.“But will you die?” He was adamant about Shadow’s life.Why wouldn’t he? He was there when Shadow was at the bottom. He was there when she was suffering. He was there when she died hundreds of times. He could do nothing but watch her from afar. He had no physical body nor the capability to protect her. He was a mere artificial intelligence living in the system. “Phantom… I will cease to exist following the promise of the previous lord. Abah. I can’t die before that. My body has been programmed to do so.”It was her sad life. Cease to exist. She would never experience death like others. She would cease to exist when the time was calling. Her death would be a mysterious death. A sudden death. Abah had promised her up to 1000 years old. She knew her body couldn’t hold that long. According to her calculation, she had 800 years more to go. Plus and min
“Have you improvised their ID card or something?”Shadow turned her head at her desk. Phantom was seen sitting on top of his folders, crossed legs, and caned his chin with his hand. He was grinning wide.“You’re here?” Shadow rested her head on the visitor chair in front of her desk.Phantom’s foot was wagging back and forth, right in front of Shadow. Yet, the girl said nothing to reprimand him. She was just extremely.Phantom waved his hand, some sort of greeting or whatever.“No, the upgraded version. As soon as the card seeped into him, his whole existence was inside the system.” She answered.“When did you develop the new version?” It piqued Phantom’s interest.Shadow merely scoffed and shut her eyes. “Mind checking how well the information settles in?” She meant all the information regarding Amari’s body.It felt like time stopped momentarily. Phantom lost his smile. The usual playful vibe was killed. Phantom killed it. Anger gradually flamed inside his eyes.“Whatever you mean
