“Where is she? Where is she? Where is she?” Elijah paced around Shadow’s office while biting her nail.
“Sweetie…” Samuel tried to stop Elijah from biting it but he had nothing to offer.
“It’s been two weeks. Two freaking weeks!” Elijah’s voice erupted as a silent volcano erupted.
“Chill- gasp!”
Amel learned to shut up when Elijah sent a fierce glare at him and instantly looked away. His eyes desperately pleaded for Samuel to intervene.
Samuel just shook his head, his face told him that there was nothing they could do but to stay quiet.
“Chill? Chill?! Huh?” Elijah shouted at Amel.
The atmosphere inside Shadow’s chamber was chaotic. Everyone was busy doing something in every part of her room. Shadow couldn’t understand why they were inside there.“Why…”She was forcefully shut her eyes by Elijah and Samuel that laid at each of her sides in the bed. They were hindering the doctor's and healers' work at one point. Still, they were still stubborn enough to be next to her like donkeys.“Her wounds have completely healed.” One of them expressed her astonishment a few moments later. “It was a shocker considering the trace of heavy wounds were still existing.”Elijah sat on the bed, right next to Shadow and frowning. “Elaborate.”“Ye- yes
“Huh~ huh~ huh~” Anubis fell on the ground, sweating profusely.Apis stared silently at the closed room.“Huh~ huh~ What are you looking at, Apis?” Anubis questioned the quiet man. Apis had long stopped his training and just stared longingly at the biggest chamber inside the cave.Currently, they went into hiding and training. Exactly what Ryuzaki had told her. They went into the Cave of Death. Busaba had obtained a lot of experiences while battling with the dead and strengthened her usage of the Dead Artifact.Truthfully, Busaba was a normal human with the Dead Artifact. Despite how loose the novel creator created this novel, she still chose to become a human. She had one reason to do so.
“How are you?” Shadow strode inside Cole’s house with her famous straight face.“Still the same.” Cole raised his head from his desk. “Ah, you look healthy, My Lord.” The small smile intact weirdly on his face.“Don’t you ever dare to be cynical to me.” Shadow rolled her eyes once she realized Cole’s intention.Cole’s weird smile carried a more cynical expression than his eyes. The man used to rile her up with a mere crooked smile. She had learned ever since. A weird smiley Cole was his attempt to mock her.Shamelessly, she went straight into the kitchen, where the refrigerator was. “Sabrina?” She asked while pulling the door and ransack rummaging through inside it.
“My Lord,” Sabrina shouted happily as soon as she spotted Shadow at the corner.Shadow was sitting at the corner with her back leaned against the wall and laptop on her lap. She raised her head and smiled gracefully at the archangel.“How is your work?”“I have blessed a lot of people and met a higher rank.” Sabrina trudged towards Shadow like a ghost. Fast and creepy.As soon as her hand reached Shadow’s neck, she found herself pushing the laptop away and sitting on Shadow’s lap. She blinked cutely, acting like she was a loveable pet. Her beautiful hair fluttered, it looked gorgeous.Sabrina felt like there were only two people in that very space. Just Shadow and her, coe
Shadow met with Edmund secretly after two days passed.Next to her was Conan, as the organizer, and Cole who was stubborn enough to cling to her like a leech.Elijah had an urgent matter she wanted to do while Sabrina had to meet the high-ranking for some development purpose. Shadow didn’t care enough to know what happened around the archangel temple.Hence, leaving Cole and Conan to guard her. They accepted the job gratefully.Edmund was sitting in front of Shadow in a wooden chair. The chair was so basic and practically screamed cheap, he didn’t care though. He had one goal in mind and today he would grab it, by hook or by crook.The atmosphere between them was clearly different from before.
Cole had to listen to his superior and leaned over to Conan.Shadow was wondering how he knew all of it. According to Cole, Edmund didn’t reach out to his information guild but the information that he had was out of the world. There’s someone who was selling the information with a deep understanding of the issue and had deep connections everywhere.“How…” Cole couldn’t believe his eyes. He rubbed it a few more times, in case he was hallucinating, but he was still reading the same thing. “My Lord…”The second folder she had held more value than the first one. Truthfully, she was screwing with Edmund. She already knew everything about Amino and Ryuzaki and the information was given by Edmund proved that he was compet
Amino was sitting on top of the tallest building in his country. It was his own building. It was a tourist attraction kind of building. The tourists gathered there to see the beautiful view from the highest point and also to capture their memories around it. It was early midnight when the beautiful scenery painted the whole city. The neon light and the sound of the honking cars echoed through the sky. He was admiring the whole city. He felt like he was on cloud nine. The air, atmosphere, and the cold sensation that brushed his skin. He felt alive at the moment. “I miss you more than life.” He mumbled, his thumb pressed his lips. Zup! Someone else landed next to him. His magical wings disappeared with a snap of his
Ryuzaki wanted to nod his head, he wanted to agree. He couldn’t. Amino was laughing and it wasn't a kind of proud smile. It was a self-loathing smile that Ryuzaki was aware of. He raised his hand to stop Amino from dumping more pieces of information too suddenly. His heart wasn’t ready at all. He needed a full backstory to understand. “Can you start from the start?” Ryuzaki had to ask him. “Please, I don’t even know you have a brother. So please, from the start.” Amino chuckled and stroked his clean chin. Ryuzaki's face was so lost. His eyes were faltering and didn't know what to do with the sudden information. “Alright, I’ll slow down.” Amino gave a curt nod. Ryuzaki took a deep breath, holding it for a moment, be
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
