Marquis Zainal, Duke Kamarul, Baron Sabir, Marquis Idham, Countess Syaza, Count Adzam, and Baron Ilham were in a daze after Lionhart dropped them right in front of a fort, just in front of the peaceful forest where the monsters used to invade. The soldiers accompanied them, with full equipment and body armor. No one seemed to know the current situation. Therefore, they waited patiently for their leaders’ command which was far more important than their own worry.Meanwhile, Kamarul fisted the crumbled unopened paper. His heart was thumping loud as he looked upward.‘What a beautiful evening.’The evening was indeed beautiful. It was a good day to have an evening tea. Instead, they were forced to be standing in front of the peaceful forest, staring into nothingness. Unless…He snapped his head to the south, where the monsters used to appear centuries ago.“Nah, she won’t stoop that low.” He relaxed. Except what if she did? He snapped back, watching intently at that place. “Ey…” He snor
“Kuhahahahaha. Amazing. Marvelous.” She choked on her own laughter.Clap, clap, clap.A series of claps accompanied the evil laughter. The atmosphere at the highest ground was as dreadful as the lowest ground, for a different reason, of course. Above, it became like a haunted house instead of a serene shriek like below them.“Tone it down, my love,” yet, Malikul didn’t hide his wide grin.“We can’t laugh at their downfall, Your Holiness.” Lionhart coughed, covering his suppressed chuckle. Their faces were so delighted after putting the northerners in a pinch situation. Had zero guilt in their voices or body language. Like at all.Count Mior who was somehow standing behind them hid behind King and Double with a trembling body.‘They are crazy. So crazy.’SHRRRIIIIEK!The monsters excellently created chaos everywhere they went. The soldiers were having trouble subjugating them. There was nothing better than to see their struggle till the end. She was slightly satisfied.Currently, the
“What is she trying to do?” Kamarul couldn’t fathom her peculiar behavior.Grrrr~The drakes and the three-headed snakes were rushing toward him in such a hurry. He had no luxury to look at her.“Kegh!” He unclenched his claws and set his jaw.“Now, focus, Kamarul!” Did he drop the formality? Her words jolted his whole body. Even though her position was higher than his, formality exists to respect a certain boundary. By not calling his title, she just demolished the little pride that he had.“Look carefully.” Her body unwavered.“Your Ho–”“Let me show you how Lion Fear worked.”Did she cut me off yet again? Kamarul’s eyes sparked with anger but said nothing they warranted Shadow’s smirk. For all he knew, Shadow loved to taunt people with her innocent smile.Best believe that he was the regular victim.Grumble~A subtle vibration was sensed on the ground. Kamarul instinctively looked at his feet before looking above him, where Shadow was.The temperature suddenly dropped and the mons
“Now, are we ready for negotiation?”“Yes, Your Holiness.”Shadow asked and Kamarul answered her politely.After the subjugation of the monsters and capturing a considerable number of monsters under the guidance of Shadow, Kamarul’s eyes didn’t cease from Shadow’s shadow. His eyes showed the greatest respect and his lips showered unending praise.He had looked at Shadow in an entirely different light and waddled behind her like a chick. He also ordered Marquis Zainal and Count Adzam to bring the teachers in advance. Now, they were sitting inside the royal room and placed Lionhart, Shadow, and Malikul as his top priority. He also assigned trusted servants around them. “Yes, please speak comfortably, Your Holiness.” His voice was full of giddiness.“Before anything else, how are you doing, Duke Kamarul?” A smug colored her face.“I’m doing better than I’d expected, Your Holiness.”“I see.”“This is all thanks to your guidance.” He praised her yet again.Shadow hummed. Frankly, she di
Shadow snorted in amusement.“This is interesting.” Malikul folded his arms over his chest.Kamarul squeezed his eyes, realizing his mistake.“This 120 old lady is much older than my 28 old ass, Your Grace.” She said in disdain.Right, how could he have forgotten? Syaza had outlived Shadow more than ten times her age. Syaza should know better and stay silent. Not only was she older than Shadow, but her noble status was also lower than Shadow. He glanced at pitiful Syaza.“Your Holiness, please forgive us.”Shadow showed her triumphant smile while Malikul didn’t even attempt to mend the situation. In this sense, they were like two peas in a pod. This genius couple seemed to enjoy their mishap. “I–”Knock, knock, knock.A knock stopped her from speaking her mind.“Enter.” She called.Marquis Adzam or Adzam bent his knees and bowed his head to Shadow. “Your Holiness, we have captured the teachers.”“Gasp!!” Syaza’s body was free from invisible restrictions and fell to the ground while
The moment she pinned her gaze onto the man, her sincere smile didn’t even cease. If anything, it stretched wider than previously. Her small finger moved back and forth, beckoning the man to come closer.“As you wish…” He scrambled on his knees and hands and brisk quickly toward Shadow. He stopped merely a few inches from her.The man sat on the floor, hands on the ground, legs folded cleanly as he sat weirdly. Watching the trembling man, Shadow’s sadistic side resurrected.“Ehem!” A warning cough alerted Shadow’s mind from thinking something bizarre yet fun. That cough was warning her from doing something that ruined the bigger picture.Right, the bigger picture. “Arman.” Shadow raised her right foot.“Yes, My Lord– eukh.” He clamped his mouth as the foot landed on his shoulder, holding him in his own place. “Please– please forgive me.”“Why do you ask for forgiveness?” Shadow chuckled in amusement.“Dare I say that I ruined your fun, My Lord?” He clenched his fingers and watched t
“Sweetheart. Honey. Af…” Yet, no voice answered her.“He he he. He’s so cute acting like this.” Shadow couldn’t fathom her giddiness.Right now, she is chasing after salty Malikul with so much giddiness. She acknowledged that Malikul was both easy and hard to handle. He was so bearable when he pampered her to the fullest but became so difficult when the jealousy hit the roof.“Baby, I’m sorry. Don’t run away. Come back.”A snort came from Malikul as he brisked faster than usual. His long legs contributed to the distance between them as well. He was just so fast.“Ish, why is he so fast?” She whined under her breath.The wolves and the lions also whined behind her, beckoning her to be faster than she already was. “Sorry for having a pair of short legs, duh.” She sneered at them and gave them side-eyed. “I wish I’m faster, yeah.”Double pushed her back with his snout, and nearly stumbled her to the ground.“Good grief. I almost trip, you fucker.” She elbowed Double, smiling sharply at
This was mind torture. Perfect to obtain any sort of secrets that were restricted by someone. Not many had the compatibility to learn such a technique and Shadow wasn’t kind enough to find any candidate to teach. Albert happened to be compatible hence, she taught him under the pretext of bullying.“Please forgive me. I fail to execute the torture flawlessly like you, master.” He kneeled one knee and propped his elbow on it and bowed his head. He had nothing to say, much less to defend himself.He failed in execution. The result was apparent. Shadow seldom criticized his method when it came to learning, however, she judged the apparent result.Shadow waved her hand. “Let me show you how it's done.”He shut his eyes, bowing to her. “Please enlighten me with your power, Your Holiness. This peasant student of yours will learn a lot.”Shadow arched her head to the back, resting her head on the edge of the chair in the process. She was observing Arman’s body language with her straight face
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
