“... generally speaking, the oracle exists when the current fire user is corrupt.”
“Corrupt?” Samuel almost shouted.
“A complete idiot.”
Amel understood Shadow for the first time. Her words did make sense.
“But if we utilize him to the fullest, we can have a better result.” She uttered nonchalantly albeit her eyes were serious. Asking the real question.
All the eyes turned to him. It was indeed an ideal scenario. Whereas, Samuel felt the foreboding feeling at the back of his head. Clearly, everyone was considering the option and it was against his value. He was born to lead not being led.
“Get it into your thick skull, dude. Yo
Samuel shuddered when he felt the intense pressure behind his back. Last night was the scariest night he ever had in his life. The small lord not only bound him, but he also shattered him into pieces. In a small storeroom, he picked himself up after the nightmare he experienced.The nightmare he had was mostly about the new lord. As he experienced before, she was stealing his air, torturing him with a metal rod, and water boat him. It was terrible.He had learned the hard way. In their first meeting. Which never pissed off the lord chosen by the oracle. The craziness was out of the loop. The demon was dangerous but the lord was just straight-up crazy and vicious.Now, at early dawn, they were stalking the werewolves who res
Conan and Amel came back with a large group of werewolves towing behind them, running after them with their angry growls befitting their status as beastmen. The intruders dared to bare their fangs to them.Conan had been chased before by those stronger and in numbers. He ran fast, then either hid or found refuge. It was all he could do. He escaped every time without unnecessarily putting up a fight just because he had no confidence to do so.He had training, for sure. But those moments the enemy chased after his brain on speed-mode, ultra-focused on the escape rather than to fight for his life.But right now, she was behind him, watching him like a hawk. Giving her undivided trust to him, sending from behind. So he stopped running away as usual.He was so use
Her heart was pounding hard as her body was agile enough to duck any attack. Albeit the voice inside her head, her eyes were slowly accustomed to the speed of this werewolf. The fast speed of his body nearly could be followed by her eyes. Putting her energy to the eyes and her body was quite exhausted yet adequate. Her chest rose and dropped brutally. “You just don’t die, don’t you?” The werewolf looked at her in trepidation, but his long nails swung dangerously near her face. Thankfully, Elijah stopped midway and bent backward at the neck of the time, barely spared her flawless cheek. But her toe-sole shoe dug deeper to the ground before she launched another swing. She practically flew and used his shoulder to duck the attack from another werewolf and he
“Listen up!” Shadow turned on her heel and glared at the people behind her. While adjusting the mask, she said, “we will pursue them, whether you like it or not.” She raised her finger when someone dared to make a noise of her decision.“But My Lord…” Conan felt something foreboding. Whatever happened inside the werewolf territory, there would be no guarantee they could escape and the new lord was bold enough to try. “We can’t lose our new lord too soon.”Elijah put both her hands on her navel and smiled. His sentence triggered her fight-and-fly mood. It’s an insult to the lord.“Conan. I beg your pardon?” The lovely maid’s brow twitched a few times.Conan looked at Elijah at a glance to
“Next,” she sponged off the smeared blood on her cheek. The color of her pupils’ rivalry with the blood on her forehead although the color of her pupils was quite darker than the blood.The once hundreds of werewolves around her were now reduced into a few dozens. A few corpses landed here and there on the ground, some were split into two or more bodies.It was the most bloody fight they had ever encountered. Even more than when they slaughtered the humans from another territory.“Yes, it’s your karma for coveting what is not yours. Should have kept those damn paws alone. You are being punished by the karma, karma is me and karma is a little bitch wearing a coat, a creepy smiling mask, and a wavy hair girl.” Her black gloves wer
“I’m coming here searching for no smoke from you. We just want to declare our status to werewolves.” The man’s smile deepened when he felt a deep power inside the girl.“Hoh!” Shadow released herself from the gravity attack. The gravity faltered and released her from the torture, she escaped it and sat on the floor like it was nothing. “Interesting.”The young man’s lips subtly twitched, astonished and scared at the same time. “You are the first person to break free from my gravity.”“Sounds like it is not my problem.” Shadow retorted. Her finger pointed at the hitched breath mayor. “Do your job. I still need to settle my score with the oldi
“The arrival of the lord of the mansion, the conqueror, Lord Shadow,” Samuel announced Shadow’s arrival as soon as the door of the massive hall was opened from the outside.All the subjects presented in the hall bent their bodies and gave a deep bow to the lord. The subjects included ministers that she’d never seen before even after four days in power. Seemed the ministers were not so keen to meet until they’d learned of her achievements.Her sinister eyes glowered at them. Under the mask of the creepy smile, she pressed her lips thin straight. Her eyes examined the subjects on both sides while passing by them. Most of them were trembling like a rabbit in the presence of the lion. Dare her to say it was out of guilt.
“So? What do we get here?” Shadow yawned under the mask.The full hall was now half empty due to the arrest of all ministers in the hall. And for the first time in history, the judgment was made without ministers’ presence, which she took kindly.The interference of the lives of corrupt ministers would be at risk. She might kill them on the spot, which was not ideal because that’s not what she wanted.In front of her was the mayor of the werewolf territory, Mina, and the butcher; the father of Samuel.Samuel also lowered his gaze and lined up with the sinners out of his volition. This was his mistake. He would not make an excuse to escape. He was ready to bear the consequences of his own action.
