“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
“Thank you.” He proceeded almost instantly. “We are ready.”His power coated their bodies quickly.“Wow…” The purple-eyed lady blinked in astonishment while the brother next to her held both her and the other sister’s hands tightly.“We are ready.”“You know the drill, guys.” Mad revealed his body to Hadi. “Hadi!”In awe, he nodded his head. This wasn’t the time to be impressed. “I’m ready.”The brother proceeded to hug the two sisters tightly and protected their faces from any possible impact.He looked around and knocked on the wall. “This is the perfect place. Say, is this the center of the building?”“We’re not. But we are in the middle of the lower building, yes. If you want the center, we must rush two levels above.”Mad scoffed. “Doesn’t matter. As long as we are in the middle of the building. The impact will be covered at least a one-kilometer radius away.”“Yes, what?”He took outside the lighter that he brought along. “Now!” He commanded instead of answering him.Sweeping al
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
