“... alright.” Shadow rose. “The outer layer matches up with what the little birds showed me.” She beckoned the two birds that escaped her shoulders at the same time the King brought her closer.The birds were flying in the sky, in a circle, waiting for Shadow to take notice of them.King, Fast, and Ambush were staring at them as if they were worthless.“Introducing your new companions. Please make them your acquaintance.”In other words, any toxic thoughts either verbal, physical, or mental wouldn’t be tolerated. They’d to be protected until the end of their life span. Facing a natural death.{What about their offspring?}{Can we eat them?}Ambush and Fast saw the loopholes somehow. Their long-forgotten fear came yet again. The two birds hid behind Shadow. {What did I say? They are evil.}{True. We shouldn’t agree.}They started to complain.{We ain’t procreate.}{Enough fear for both of us. It ends with us.}They were terrified.Shadow sighed and suddenly had a headache.“Stop fig
All of them were looking in the same direction. They were looking toward the stove of legends or the so-called fire of legends. They couldn’t get closer due to the safety restriction given by the soldiers and knights, but they could feel the heat miles away and the tall pillar of fire shot up toward the sky.“The fire… the fire has magically appeared.”“Ho– how…?”“The legend… the legend…”The murmurs rose in the sky, eyes fixated on the magical fire. It looked beautiful yet dreadful. Furthermore, it had only one symbol.“Chaos…”“The symbol of chaos!!!”“Our queen. Our queen…”As if being hit at the back, the citizens snapped their necks at the confused soldiers and knights who were working their hardest to control the chaotic situation.One of the citizens grabbed the soldier’s collar and shouted angrily.“The Queen. Find the queen!”“We need to see the queen.”“The legend!”“We need her help!!!”Miley unintentionally gasped, and her jaw dropped.Shadow scoffed. “You’re welcome.”Mi
Nathan and Ibrahim along with two birds, two bees went to the assigned place where they could create another chaos for diversion. Leaving Shadow Ali, Juviana and Miley.She had two destroyers and a lookout. Amongst all, Ali had the utmost important job. His single reaction could change the entire game at once. A lookout seemed trivial, many overlooked their merit. Shadow called that post as Hawk to emphasize the importance of the task.“I trust you.” Shadow cracked her neck.Ali pointed at the rest of the bees that he had. Shadow glanced at them. “One for me?”“Sure.” Ali gestured the chosen bee to Shadow and the rest of them to two elves. “Any communication can be through my babies.”“So practical.” Shadow snickered. She tapped her shoulder at the bee. “Hope you stick next to me always.”The bee obediently landed on her shoulder.The other bees proceeded to hide around Juviana and Miley. After every bee had settled comfortably, the elves glimpsed at Shadow.“You may go. Remember.
Juviana and Miley stood in front of the gate while camouflaging. Their natural power made it possible for them to be one with nature. It was the specialty of the elves. The only difference was the level of their power. Juviana was in her eighth circle while Miley was in her seventh circle. Their affinity with nature was exceedingly high. Therefore, it shouldn’t be a problem to camouflage their bodies with nature. The two of them stood in front of the main gate of the Abandoned Estate, watching the mansion blankly. Miley was the one who broke the silence. “Truce.” “... truce.” Juviana had to agree. The job was more important than their fiasco. The job was directly ordered by Shadow, and she didn’t want to disappoint her benefactor. So, she must do anything to make sure that Shadow’s plan moves smoothly. Clap! “Let’s get started.” Miley clapped her hands and cracked her neck a few times. Juviana extended both of her hands to the front while Miley created a massive axe. The str
“... Let's see how strong you are.”Ibrahim said nothing. He gawked at the bear, silently judging the bear under his hoodie.The bear’s anger rose simultaneously when the mysterious man in front of him said nothing. “Enough talking. Come at me!”Although he said that, the bear started to charge forward instead of waiting. With the spear that he took from somewhere else, he was aiming directly for Ibrahim. With an obscure smile, Ibrahim waited for the spear to come at him.As soon as the edge of the spear was within his perimeter, he easily shook it off by redirecting the tip of the spear to the other side.As the bear tilted to his side, Ibrahim went forward in one strike before he was in front of the bear in only a millisecond.Whoosh!He swung his dagger at the bear’s spear, slamming it down, and used his free fist to knock his jaw.Zzup! Tap!The bear was already dodging the fist and ran to the other side. His face was colored with shock.‘This mysterious man is strong. If I don’t
Ali chewed his chewing gum silently. He had blocked the entire estate with the invisible barrier. Hence, the noise inside the mansion wouldn’t be heard by anyone outside the estate.Nonetheless, it took a toll on him to maintain such a high level of magic. His mana wasn’t as limited as a normal person but it was still hard for him to retain it for a long time while dismantling all the magic devices outside the wall.At the same time, he was eyeing the soldiers and knights that were still trying to extinguish the fire created by Nathan.“Juvi and Miley. Both of them are strong. If I have to judge their strength side by side, Juvi looks stronger… but who am I to judge, yeah?” He dangled his leg in the air, humming low.Bzzt!But suddenly, he felt the chill.He rose and looked at the mansion where Ibrahim was, narrowing his eyes, stupidly he tried to see what was inside.After realizing that he looked stupid for doing so, he summoned another bee and swung his finger at Ibrahim’s window.
“Should I buy this for my wife?”“Why not?”“I should?”“Yes, you should– who’s that?”Tap, tap, tap.The fierce eyes opened themselves when he heard the halted conversation and deliberate steps which echoed through the dim passage. The two guards obviously encountered the anonymous visitor. They were speaking in a high voice.“Who are you? Why are you here?”“That height. Rat?”“Rat? What rat is doing here?”“Hahaha. Today is your unlucky day.”The man in the cell collected all the information silently, waiting. His heart was pounding hard. ‘Rat?’He became even more restless. Not many knew the real traits of rats, apparently.The steps were appearing out of nowhere and disappeared in the same manner. It piqued his curiosity.‘Who? Who? Who is it?’The aura was thoroughly concealed, however, the man was still betting on that person. If they weren’t strong, this place wouldn’t be discovered easily by them.A few commotions occurred afterward. Sadly, the man couldn’t witness it, so h
“Understood.”No questions asked. No more further inquiries. If he wanted to preserve his sanity, that’s it.The Hamster clan was famous for their vicious view of the world. They used to be oppressed by everyone including the rat tribe even though they were from the same species. Later, they learned to retaliate, giving birth to the current assassin skill.Some of the powerful species were quite afraid of them for their boldness. Therefore, once again, he emphasized that he wouldn’t fuck with a hamster. The teeth were so sharp, the cuteness was so deadly.Julian truthfully kneeled in front of Shadow and swore. “I am, Count Julian The Greatest will work with you, oh the lord–”Shadow hastily raised her hand. “Wait.”“Yes?”“I wish you to keep the oath before you escape this place.”“Yes? What if I lie–” Julian heard the amused snort and shut his mouth.Shadow rummaged inside her spatial pocket and pulled out the contract. “You can sign this contract.”Julian was speechless. The man in
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
