Aidan and Firash blatantly showed hostility to people around them. They were guarding the room that was occupied by the king and the queen, the palace healers, and doctors. Both of them growled when someone other than their family members approached them.Thanks to that, the vassals couldn’t carelessly approach them. Witnessing the rare wrath of the imperial family, the vassals had long accepted their fate. For today, the kingdom came to a standstill. All because of two people that were closely related to Shadow. “Huff, huff~ guys!” Both of them collectively turned their heads to the familiar voice. Immediately, the facial expressions softened.“Dhia!”“Sister!”Aidan and Firash called her.“How is it?” Dhia asked in a breathless voice.Firash shook his head, solemnly.“They are still undergoing the treatment,” Aidan replied stoically.Dhia pressed her fingers on her temple. “Things have escalated.” Aidan felt ominous about this. “What do you mean?”Dhia gave the report on a small
According to Albert, Zombie lost her way and accidentally entered the enemy den. There, a fierce fight occurred. Vampire that was closer to her helped her. This led to injuries they sustained. M and the two falcons interfered after some time and successfully brought back the heavily injured Zombie. Vampire’s injury occurred in the middle of the escape.M deployed his own subordinates for distraction and escaped with Vampire. Unlike the animals in the other two worlds, the animals residing in The Unknown could grow to a certain extent according to their own will. In M's case, he could grow as massive as a normal wolf in the upperworld. Therefore, taking her back was possible.And along the process, M also sustained a few injuries albeit lighter than these two.Currently, M is at Albert’s abode, recuperating. However, her rage at Albert was just her petty ass acting. Therefore, King and Double’s intervention was justified.“Move, move.” She kicked the air, screaming at King.“Grow!
“This is a conspiracy.” Luca flickered Vampire’s forehead, a frown marred on his face.“I agree.” Ignat was already at Zombie’s side and examined her body.“Do you know what you are doing, Ignat?” Jenny’s triumphant smile colored her face as she sat next to knock out Vampire. “Stop flickering her forehead. Let the poor girl sleep.” Slapping Luca’s hand.Luca whined once and jumped next to Shadow. His arms wrapped around Shadow’s shoulder before he propped his chin on top of her head. “What is your plan, Shadow?”All eyes were collectively pinned on her. Even Maxim and Farizad stayed idle opposite each other. Both of them didn’t even bother to check on those ladies. Their minds had already made up to follow Shadow’s decree.Shadow paid attention to both of them. “What is your deduction?” Instead, she asked the quiet people in the room.Farizad took charge almost immediately. “Judging by the wound they are sustaining, Zombie, indeed, kicked the hornet nest painfully aware of it, that c
It was already late evening when shit hit the fan. The two ladies that served Shadow were heavily injured. In the same evening, she summoned the other five as if the force before these weren’t enough.At the same time, she paid no heed to the royal family. Ibrahim understood. These people were heavily involved in her childhood. In some likelihood, they raised her to a certain extent. Like it or not, he could only stare, waiting at the sidelines, and be patient about it.After summoning, the smell of flowers brushed their sensory smell. The smell was so potent and similar, their heads instantly connected to the first meeting.“I know this smell,” Aidan said strongly.After the words, a strong gush of flower petals swirled and twirled in one place, just behind Shadow. The petals swirled and twirled at one time like it was dancing and they were increasing in number as well.“Of course, she is a flashy girl.” Jenny groaned semi-loud.Soon, a few bodies appeared inside the group of petals
“Is everyone here?” All eyes turned in the direction of the raspy voice.Seven Mandrill Monkey and their five disciples ambled toward them as if they were having a walk in the park. “Hurry up.” Black casting a dirty look at the leader of Mandrill Monkey.“The Duke of Waddles hurries for no man. No apologies are owed nor forgiveness shall be begged.” Captain waved his hand like a damn celebrity.Behind, a few snickers echoed. “We’re not in a meet-and-greet event. Make haste.” She clicked her tongue.“Understood.” Yet, he waddled like a model, one hand delved inside the pocket, another brushing the bang to the back.Tap!Yet, someone else arrived first. The root of the problem. Mad Hyena.Teal pushed past everyone and waved her hand at Mad. “Well, hello there, Mad.” She was smiling, adopting Shadow’s favorite emotion.“Uh~” Mad who didn’t know anything still could sense the nasty situation he was in. “What is going on?”Crazy laughed at him and pointed his finger. “You just commence
“Ah~ I want to know you better, brother.” “Same here.”Farizad was the newest recruit. He was Shadow’s student but only recently registered as Shepherd and Outcast. Aside from the Shepherd community, no one seemed to know about him. “Words in the air that you were Shadow’s student.”“Still am. Our lesson has never ceased, Lord Captain.”Captain snorted and snickered. “I love him.” This was his first time being referred to as lord. It felt nice.“He also has a silver tongue,” Shadow whispered low.“Apparently.” Farizad was also proud of that.All things considered, Captain’s plan seemed good enough for now. If he had to make an adjustment, he would do it later.“By the way, Shadow.” Captain rubbed his forehead as if he was using his brain for something.“Speak.”“Please spare me some time.” Shadow was ready to jump in. “How long?”“15 minutes will do.”“When?”“Any time that benefits you. However, I suggest we go as soon as possible.”“To where?” Shadow seemed to know where the litt
The sound of giggling echoed into the space. Two bodies were playfully running around in the dark area.“Hahaha. Run, Phantom, run.”“Chase me, chase me, brother.”“I’ll capture you if you don’t run.”“Hahahaahahaa.”“Don’t get caught. You’ll die.”The young teenage boy made a rough voice, emitting a ghostly voice to scare the little sister that was not more than five years old. The girl who was wearing a white loose gown dashed faster than any normal eyes could catch.However, the young man had no problem following her body with his vision. “Buahahahaha. I’ll catch you!” The man stretched his hand as the distance between them shortened.“No, kyaaaa, ahahahaah.”The little sister twisted her body, skillfully evading those grabby hands, but the young man was faster. His body was bigger, his hands and legs were longer and his strides were enormous.In a leap, the young man successfully captured the little sister before both of them delved into the hard, cold floor together.Bam!The s
Shadow and Malikul escaped to the Underworld at dawn. Being a supportive lover, Malikul accompanied her even though he understood nothing of her action. Still, he wanted to be involved in everything she did.Malikul put the coordinate precisely at the cemetery where all of her siblings perished. The walk was somber and sad. Shadow’s body stiffed like wood. Wearing appropriate clothes and a shawl wrapped around her head.It was still much dark and the cemetery looked no less than a haunted house with massive space. From afar, a few volunteered religious people huddled together and smiled peacefully at both of them.All of them were wearing something called ‘turban’ and ‘kopiah’ on their heads with yassin and a thin prayer book secured in their hands. At a glance, it seemed that these people were just from the mosque, after fajr prayer.Shadow was honestly impressed by these people. Their faces looked so peaceful and the majority was filled with young men, destroying the stereotype tha
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
