Edmund rushed into the place that he knew the best that could provide everything he ever wanted.
“Elijah, Elijah! Wake up.” He tried to shake her body, a futile attempt nonetheless.
For the first time in his life, his inner emotion howled creepily, telling him that he was a loser for not protecting the one he should be protecting.
For someone who only lived for himself, it's something he’s never felt, not even when he found that he was kidnapped by the lords that he served.
Edmund considered leaving the maid to die, but the ache inside only intensified.
It would be catastrophically wrong.
So, Edmund gently picked the maid up bridal style, and carried her to th
Dionysus, Hades, and Persephone returned to their promised day for the very next day. After the shopping mall attack, the trio arrived after half a day of hitting the road. On the way, they asked for Amel’s help to block all the communication from entering their target destination, which was the main city of Country A. And they did. As a result, no one inside the main city knew anything regarding any news. In a way, the city was similar to the well. The citizens were like a frog living inside the well. And sometimes, ignorance is bliss. Well, the second proverb was heavy to their advantage. And now, they were discussing the final setup for the last time. They had recei
Right before Hades took charge at the center, a few workers were seen running toward the exit and the entrance in much hurry. The security became tight and the camera surveillance moved frantically to search for the intruder.Dionysus was already perched tall on top of one of the massive cameras, at the highest point, looking down at those people.The human security leaped toward them, with weapons in their hands and stopping the workers from bluntly escaping this place without any proper reason. Still, they interrogated those workers in great hostility.And Dionysus saw the bubble had landed on top of the singled-out HQ. From now on, the HQ would be cut off from the outside world. No one could enter nor escape.
“Are you sure we will be okay?” “Yes, we will be okay, lords. This is the secret underground passage that only the owner knew.” “Oh really? I will believe you if you say so.” “Please believe me. During the absence of the owner, I will be in charge of this building including the secret passage. My words are the law.” “Ho ho ho. Good, good. I love it.” “Where does the secret passage lead us to?” “It will lead us to the abandoned mine that is at the corner of the outskirts area.” “... will our clothes be dirty?” “It will?” “This is an expe
“What an unpleasant sight.” Hades clicked his tongue, and his cold eyes pierced through the injured soldiers. “Should have died at the first attack.” “We- we will not perish. We will persist.” Hades scoffed.“I can see that.” “You… you… HADES!!!!” One of the great soldiers screamed his name. “Hm?” His long hair fluttered under the darkness, his eyes clearly saw the struggle of a great soldier that tried to intimidate him. The night was his domain. In the dark, he could do anything discreetly. He was the strongest at night. Hades looked down from the highest ground, his cold eyes gazed at the great soldier with pity. Should he kill him to end his misery? He wondered. “You should never betray the lord!” Hades twirled his own long hair and locked his lips. “Lord Amino is our master and only. He is the greatest. He is all-knowing. Return! Return to him. I will put a good word for you.” Again, Hades was impressed with his audacity. Who the fuck was he to speak for him? He was
SHIIING!Another clash echoed yet illuminated in the dark.They retreated to their respective place, eyes glimmered with excitement. Inwardly, Hades was so impressed with that soldier's strength. But in terms of strength, power, and ability, Hades wasn’t inferior to Ryuzaki.That soldier should have known of the fact. Misjudging the strength of the opponent would lead to catastrophe. It was also the basic teaching of the warrior or soldier. “Hah~ I’d see what I needed to see… I can’t tell whether I should applaud or be content with it.” There’s no way they were par. In terms of everything, Hades was clearly superior. He was just playing with the so-called leader of the great soldier. However, Bennett seemed to think otherwise. He needed to straighten up this misunderstanding or else the lord would throw a fit at him.“I can sense your cold gaze, Lord.” His body shivered.His back had smeared with a cold sensation and chill. He wasn’t sure whether it was because it was indeed cold or
‘If you feel like everything was such a pain, how about you curse them out?’He recalled that he coughed as the tips of his ears reddened at that absorb order.‘Why? Cursing is not your thing? Ey… you should try. Just try it once. It is fun. Trust me.’Hades shook his head and laughed again.“How about you unhand my precious people?” One voice greeted him.Zutup!At the same time, a short knife cut through the wind, straight to Hades’s neck.Yet, it hit the tree instead as Hades had excellent reflexes.Looking at those figures while standing with both hands at his back, his cold gaze smeared at them.“Can’t you see that I’m standing here? Quite far from them, I might say.” He said in a mocking tone. Those figures clenched their teeth and cleared their throats to cover their embarrassment. The tint of blush painted their cheeks while shifting their eyes away.“I don’t mean… ehem… like that.” Amino coughed, shyly.Hades’s heart skipped annoyingly at him. Covering his disgust with a col
Malikul threw the book on the table, gritting his teeth in anger. His veiny hands brushed his hair to the back, eyes pierced through all his subordinates. The atmosphere inside the small room was tense. Four other people that were inside quickly looked away, afraid their mere gaze would get on his nerves. They wanted to prevent such.“Psst, Wan.” A buff male with average size leaned toward some other male.“What?” Wan turned his head and leaned in.“What is wrong with him?” That raspy voice inquired.“Shadow.”One word is all it takes to make them understand.Everyone was clear on why Malikul was moody.“But why?” The only girl in the room crouched down near Wan, leaning her head on the table.“I don’t know myself.”“He has been reading the book quite diligently. Don’t tell me…” The third male, one with curly hair pointed his chin at the book on the table.Wan nodded and affirmed it. “She is inside the book.”The raspy man gagged, unintentionally loud, and almost made Malikul turn hi
BANG! BANG! BANG!“My Lord! My Lord!”“Open the door, My Lord!”“Please!”“We have urgent news.”“Not urgent, it was urgent news!!!”“Please, we have more news!”BANG! BANG! BANG!“MY LORD!!!!”Both Amino and Ryuzaki stared at the locked door with mystified expressions on their faces.BANG! BANG! BANG!“MY LORD!!! WE NEED TO CONSULT OUR NEXT MOVE!”“LORD AMINO! OUR FORTE HAS BEEN ATTACKED!”“LORD RYUZAKI! WE NEED YOU TO MOVE OUR SOLDIERS TO THE FRONTLINE!!!”BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!“Huh~” Both of them blew a tired blow while leaning their back on their respective chairs.BANG! BANG! BANG!“My Lord!!!” All the vassals slammed their fists against the door or knocked mercilessly with their desperate voices calling them out. Yet, both Ryuzaki and Amino collectively ignored their desperate call.“What should we do, Lord Amino?”Amino just placed his elbows on his working table with a blank expression.Ryuzaki sat on the settee, leaning his back and propped his elbow on the edge of the hea
