Shadow clutched her fingers tightly at King’s man, laying on her stomach atop that lion. Both of her legs hugged King’s back and clung to him like a koala. By now, the assaults from Team B had begun. The convened slurred into her eardrums and went straight to her head. Even if she believed them, her heart wouldn’t stop worrying unless she examined the situation directly.“Stupid Shadow. Your brothers and sisters are doing fine.” A deep voice created by Shadow scolded herself.“But I’m worried, bohoo!” This time, her tiny voice responded.“Stupid, they can handle themselves just fine.”“I know, I know. I still want to oversee the situation.““Can you please trust them? They are grown-ups. Obviously, they can handle themselves.”“But, I’m worried.”“Stupid Shadow.”“Hey! I’m not stupid. You are!”“Hahaha. Stupid Shadow, talking to herself.”“Hey, that’s not nice.”The two different frequencies of voice which came from the same person echoed alone. It weirded even King and Double to the
“Stay close to me.”Lily nodded behind him.They both ran toward their targets led by their noses. In beast form, their hind legs kicked the ground, and with guns in their hands, they shot every enemy that dared to block their way. Refused to engage in any meaningless fight.“Six above.”“Five behind.”Lily and Albert communicated easily as they lodged the bullet inside the gun. Without stopping, they looked at each other and at the same time, finished reloading their guns. “You take the above.”“You… behind.”They spoke at the same time. A deep understanding penetrated each other’s eyes. With a single nod, Lily slid down to the floor while Albert hopped from the ground and climbed the trees.While sliding, Lily protected Albert’s back. Easily, she aimed at the nearest enemy’s head and shot.Puk!One down.Using her strong arm, she pushed her body off the ground while aiming at the next enemy.Two down.Another at her back.Not a problem.Three down.Another lunged toward her while t
The enemy continued to fall down – dead. Marching forward, he had wasted more than a few dozen bullets provided by Smart Hyena. These people had not expected the submachine gun that could kill them. No normal guns, rifles, or submachine guns could do anything or even grace their tough skin for very the least. So, when they saw their friend die in the front row, the panic was bound to rise. That’s where Albert’s people were coming strong.Taking advantage of the chaotic atmosphere, they safely bestowed them with death. It’s either they or the enemy. And as Albert’s said, they couldn’t afford to sustain any heavy injury. They were in the middle of the enemy’s forte. Hence, even if they were viewed as cowardly mercenaries, the tale was told by the winner, not the truth.However, it consumed a bit of time to march forward to the uncertainty. It’s been more than years since he was here. His hazy mind couldn’t refresh the whole garden even though he had studied previously.(Psst… psst… Li
Inside the palace, Albert lowered his body and enhanced his senses. Vision, hearing, smell, and touch. Everything was activated to the max. His chaotic mind calmed down after exercising his breathing technique taught by Shadow. A deep breath, held for two seconds, and released it. Repetitively. A beastman like a wolf or any feline and a dragon had exceptional senses. However, his senses were honed by Shadow. It wouldn’t be arrogant to say that his senses were superior to any of them. Not only that, but his speed was also great.They lined up along the wall, hugging their submachine gun tightly. His heart was pounding more than usual. While eyes trained on Albert, their eyes twitched and moved around. The castle was eerily quiet as if it was abandoned but the clean furniture insinuated that this place was potentially occupied.For Albert, this place was like torture. This castle was exactly as he remembered. The abandoned castle at the north. No one should know about the arrangemen
The hall was silent, still and dark. For a wolf like him, however, easily, the movement inside it could be detected. He was lucky to see it firsthand and pushed the rest of them outside of the door.The current situation is so dreadful. “You know it’s no use to use blackout tactics on people like me, right?” He delved his hand into the back pocket and tightened the grip on the dagger’s handler.Even after willingly exposing his position, the people inside stayed stagnant.He snorted at the ridiculous situation. “I can smell y’all and more importantly…” His nose raised in the air. “... my wife…” The glint of his eyes changed. If he was alone, the possibility of him staying alive was close to zero but if his wife was here… if Lily was here… it would be a game changer. If his calculation was correct, that’s it.He sniffed the air. Something was wrong. It was potent in the air. He hated it. Something dear to him. As to torment him, to torture him.Someone switched on the biggest lamp
“Indeed.” That friendly voice responded.“You… you…” Finn recognized him while gasping for air, head tremblingly raised to look closely at the snake. “I recognize… you.”The snake tilted his head. “Oh, you do? Interesting.” It stood on its tail before the snake-magma expanded and transformed into a fine man in his early 30s – wearing his formal attire and a beret on his head. “You…” Finn was lost for words, and the bulb inside his brain started to blink rapidly.The color of the snake was similar to the engraved statue on the gateway. His head snapped at the gateway 30 steps away from him. The craft-long snake that used to have been there ever since a couple of weeks ago disappeared.The only thing left was the burn area around it. “Mother… the snake craft…” A bucket of sweat trickled down his back body. “The engraving snake!!”The queen felt the dreadful lump inside her throat, blocking her airway, and choking her. She shook his head vehemently in denial.“This… this is not… I don’
The lightless building was filled with metal and blood smell everywhere. The silent killers marched forward, eyeing the prey everywhere they went, guns pointed to the front.(Mad, where art thou?)Captain’s voice penetrated his ears as soon as the gunfire ceased. He was still outside the building, waiting for any say from Mad who was already inside with the rebels.‘Still in the middle of the building. I’ve already marked my path. Can just find it once you enter. Oh, where are my babies? It’s been more than 15 minutes. Still can't find their beautiful eyes anywhere.’Mad, however, monologue and let Captain read his thoughts because it was easier that way. He couldn’t risk exposing his ass if he was talking into the intercom.(Ugh. They are in. A few minutes ago.) Mad literally heard the rolling eyes from Captain. The man was done with his demanding ass.‘Well, sorry to annoy you, ha ha ha. But, if you want to end this on a good note, better listen to my request, Captain.’(And, I did
“Oh, I will, my dear.” Hadi winked at him.Truth speaking, Mad was kind of blushing. Aside from Shadow, Hadi was the second one to call him dear. His wife called him my love. It was a little bit intimate and he liked it. Or, at least that was what he thought,“My retina’s color is Atomic Tangerine. Do you know what the eye color indicated it as?” He summoned his restored mana inside his heart.His heart started to glow, the eye soon followed before the entire body glowing beautifully following the color of his eyes.Mad, however, shook his head. “In my world, the unusual eye or hair color was due to the experiments. Like me. My red hair. I love blood.”Hadi visibly gasped, not because he witnessed the red hair – Mad still remained camouflage form – but because he was shocked at his tendency.“I’ll show you my hair later.” Mad coughed.“I’m not shocked about that but the other– anyway, my eye color indicates my cleverness.” He smirked at his own sentence and continued. “And my ability
