“Yeah, she did. She loved him.”“So what? The feeling changes just like that?” He roared, getting impatient when Eagle deliberately acted obliviously. “He’s gone for more than five years. Feeling changes, Amino.” “Humans are not fond of changes.”“Humans are prone to change after went into such a traumatized ordeal. We will not stay being a child after growing up, will we?” “So… why can’t you love me?” Amino questioned Shadow’s heart, clenching through the sentence.Well, Eagle understood his frustration too well. He might not be in that position, but he knew enough to know what love was. He didn’t have that. His existence was sole to protect the precious body of Shadow. He had no time to fall in love nor had time to find the meaning of life.And he was merely tolerating Malikul because he helped them plenty enough without asking for more but a penny love from this stupid body. If he had to choose between the two, surely, he would be behind Malikul anytime any day. The man was t
Little was an overstatement. Human blood was red in nature. It could be light or dark red, but purple was never the case. So, little was indeed an overstatement. The blood leaked more and more and his eyes fascinatedly pinned on the wound on the wrist.However, Amino was so green in terms of an underworld fight.“You shouldn’t take your eyes off the enemy. You’ll die the moment you do.” Eagle warned him as he snapped his fingers.SNAP!The blood that oozes from his wound gathered around, slipping inside the hole. But, instead of falling to the ground, it squirmed along the line of concrete and slipped past through the barrier that covered one percent of the hole.He was aiming at that small percentage in his mind while pushing Amino to the back. Again, Eagle wasn’t as stupid as others deemed. It is just the strong love of blood pushing him into the second most undesirable persona, right below Black Shadow.The moment Amino realized what happened, the blood was inside the shield and
Amino’s breath shortened. His hand was clenching hard at the big wound in his stomach.“Heal! Heal! Heal! Heal the fuck!!!” He gnashed his teeth, feeling complicated and annoyed. He might have killed Eagle, but his injury was deep and troubling. “Heal shit!!!” He smacked the ground.Mirror relic. He was the owner of such an overpowered relic. He could mirror all the abilities he had ever encountered - well… almost all of it - as long as he understood the principle of the copier. He had also mirrored, copied, and stored the healing ability. It supposedly could heal any injury that the body sustained.“Heal! Heal!” The cold healing power emitted from his palm, it sipped through the crack of the skin and flesh.“Why…” He was dumbfounded.The cold sensation and the blue-ish healing power died soon after without healing the injuries that he sustained. “Why? Why!!!!” He punched the ground repetitively.The dark blood was leaking at a dangerous speed. His bloodshot eyes quivered in unex
“Tornado strike!” He called forth another power that he mirrored from his subordinate.Zwuuush~ tup!The semi-tornado above instantly dissolved into the thin air never to be seen.“Fire arrows!”Pssssst~ zup!The fire died and the arrows dissolved.Eagle, of course, took another step forward.“SHIELD WIND!” He had to defend when he couldn’t attack Eagle.Zwush~Yet again, the shield dissolved as well. “You… you…”Clap!Eagle clasped his hands once and took a big single strike. “It’s getting boring, don’t you think?” He yawned, his lips parted and his mouth gaped wider than the ocean and inhaled as much oxygen as possible. “How… how… Don’t- don’t come closer.” He stated in panic.“Hey, let’s do the math here.” Eagle breathed lethargically.Amino could only stare dumbfoundedly at him and had nothing to utter.Eagle stopped his step, stood still, curled, and uncurled his fingers inside the pocket. “Mind me if I asked you when the fuck did he meet her? I mean Shadow?”Amino fluttered hi
“You are treading on the thin ice, Eagle.” He rubbed Eagle’s head with affection.“Listen…” Eagle drew out a devastating sigh. “I tolerate you just because Shadow adores you.”“I know.”“So… take your hand off my head.”The gentle strokes halted, and Malikul’s face stiffened. A beat later, a smile appeared.“I hate that silly smile. Snap it out.”Malikul pouted, and at the same time, his masculine energy disappeared. “But baby…” he used a baby talk despite knowing he wasn't the Shadow who he was talking at. Eagle waved his hand. It was the utmost ridiculous behavior in the world.Amino’s face soured, feeling that he was intruded into this lovely atmosphere. For the last two decades, as he had seen, he and Shadow didn’t behave like a couple in love. It was fully on his side. He was obsessing over her, kissing her, taking advantage of her past love.For the first time in his life, he understood the weight of being in love. Eagle was so bashful, and Malikul looked so euphoric, while Am
The wings behind Malikul disappeared, he stood a few meters away from Amino, looked at him with his stoic expression and his eyes had zero expectation of him.“Who… who are you?” He gnashed his teeth. Fire rain! He shouted inwardly.“Hah~” Malikul had nothing to say as usual. His eyes fluttered lazily, watching everything come down.GRUUUUUU~The dark sky suddenly turned yellowish with a heavy storm laced together.Yet, there was no sign of panic on that apathetic face.BOOOM!Slowly, the hot air caressed the surrounding, and sweat formed at the back of their heads.GROOOOWL!The storm came down together with the fire rain. Hitting the ground, the trees, the stones, and eating up everything. The atmosphere turned hotter as it went by and the hot air grazed Malikul’s cheeks.“Pathetic,” Malikul mumbled low, only for himself.The surrounding was already covered with ashes and burning fire. The sound of the crackling fire, the snapped trees, and the scorching air. “You, my friend…” Mali
It took only 10 seconds for the wheels inside Eagle’s head to roll and decide the answer that was given. He munched the air and snapped his fingers. It took another five seconds for him to figure out who the culprit was.“It was your superior, wasn't it?” He leaned forward, hand propped on the ground with smugness on his face. “The three discrepancies all happened around the time they disappeared, so they couldn’t keep up with the fraud.”“How…” “Don’t take me for a fool.” He snorted arrogantly.“You don’t have any evidence to-”“Again, are you taking me for a fool?” He scrunched his nose, narrowed his eyes, and wrinkled his forehead. “I know all The Unknown movement if not better than you.”“So… you really do know about them?” Amino’s shoulder was subconsciously locked.“Who the fuck do you think I am? The way they moved... I can be certain about something.” He mumbled alone as his eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement. “Those months were so important to them.”Amino clenched
BANG! The sound of the trigger resonated.Amino died under his mercy. The source of his problem and the leader of his enemy. As a sign of respect, he showed mercy to that undeserved man. Eagle was neither good nor kind. He was also far from benevolent. Merciless. Savage. Ruthless.His name was synonymized with those titles. And, he was proud of it. He liked those names and he loved those fearful gazes.Eagle.He was that ever merciless mad dog who swept everything under his foot. He was the twisted man that lived for battle. He loved blood and he was excited about it.“You look lenient.” A familiar voice interrupted his thoughts and halted his steps. He stood there, amongst the trees, slowly, looking up at the voice.Leaning against one of the tree trunks, Malikul folded his arms over his chest and offered a mischievous smirk.He blew a heavy sigh while rubbing his head before twisting his long hair. “This is the last mercy I can offer to him.”His eyes fell on Eagle’s clean hand.
