The clouds of war covered the battleground. Country C was quiet on the outside ever since Country A’s proclamation. But, it was the kind of ‘the calm before the storm’ kind of quiet. The unaffected place such as the other part of Country C became tense. The shoulders of all the citizens inside the country were curled up in fear. The former main city of the country was located exactly in the middle of the country. Therefore, every part of the country shared a similar amount of fear. The impact might be distributed fairly by the city around them. As the heat of war heightening, the citizens had odd expressions on their faces. Fear, worry, terrified, and other emotions were all visible on their faces. Some didn’t even leave their houses while some others filled the restaurants that had better coverage. All eyes were focusing on the television screen. That was because the war that would begin soon enough had been fully covered by invisible reporters, journalists live all over the ch
WIIIIIIIING~ WIIIIIING~The bombardment alarm continued to echo throughout the whole country. People started to be tense and sweat profusely. The loud alarm blazing out for the entire continent to hear was the sign of the beginning of the war. The casual morning would be the start of the war.“Clear out the street. Out of the street. Moving according to the guide knight’s instructions!”All the soldiers shouted out loud as they directed some scared citizens away from the danger zone. They escorted the citizens to a safe place, just as they had practiced in advance since a couple of days ago.Prap. Prap. Prap. The highly disciplined soldiers guarded and walked around dignifiedly, using all of their strengths to steer citizens away from the affected ground to minimize any possible damage that they might come across.But, first of all, their initial job scope was to protect the citizens and all remained untouched states. All the proxies also were working hard to strengthen their securi
Maxim deemed him to be one of the strongest beings among the strong tribes such as the lion tribe, bear tribe, dragon’s tamer, magicians, and so on. During the conflict between four countries, he’d rather stay neutral instead of taking sides with anyone. Because, to him, he was the strongest and would be the apex predator in the jungle. He had griffins. Griffins could fight a dragon head-on. During the reign of Amino, he stayed clear and remained stagnant. That was because Amino offered a bunch of benefits to him and he had lived a good life ever since. And so, when the new power came into the play and emerged into the world, he couldn't take it. His leisure life would come to an end if the power changed hands. Phweeeeeeet~ He whistled, calling for reinforcement. Five griffins with riders, full of diamond shields on their heads, flew toward him from a distance. Conan placed both of his hands behind his back and just enjoyed the show. The citizens that watched everything cle
“Dominate the sky.”Shadow’s command rang inside his ears. “As you wish, Lord Shadow.” Samuel giggled like a crazy while unsheathing his fire sword.“Dominate the ground.”Similar sentences rang inside Conan’s ear as well.“Your wish is my command, My Lord.”ROOOOOOAR!Above, the dragons roared intimidatingly, and the hot breeze vibrated responding to the massive echo. The roars were so loud it felt as if they could shatter their eardrums.“They are intimidating.” Maxim gestured at his people.The griffin riders that were dazed instantly snapped back. Watching the signal command, the scattered griffins soon gathered in the formation. 30 griffins in one group while the rest were on standby.They had learned one trick to face the dragon.To fight a dragon, the griffins would have to take turns, nimbly poking at a certain area continuously, giving no rest to the dragon.Or, another ideal fight was, attacking a dragon in a group of more than 20 at the same time. The first target would b
On the ground, the bear tribe stomped off toward the enemies. The second-in-command bear with reddish-browned fur started to shout as soon as they were springing across the ground with their bat.“Attack the enemy. Never let them escape!!!!”Boom! Boom!The massive feet and heavy bodies of the bears curved the land, creating a sort of signature. The ground left the evidence that the bears were here fighting every inch of their lives.Oldie who was protecting Conan who was just standing while slurping the lollipop inside his mouth looked ahead, grinding his teeth.“Commence defensive formation!” All the pawns got into the defensive formation, which was the strongest at the front.“Hey!” Conan called him.Oldie looked below him, where Conan had already stood like a butler serving the master. It was his natural posture - most of it because of work hazards. His professionalism overthrew everything. “You can run wild.”Oldie was quite unsure about that standard. His ears twitched a few t
“How vicious.” He gazed out of the tent’s window only to see the dragon’s claws try to tear off the magic shield that covered the whole camp.“Lord Amino, please get a rest.”“Yes, Lord, please get a rest.”Amino turned to Alberu and Asumu who were sitting languidly on the available chairs while sipping their tea.“Do you think we can win this?” He trudged next to the bed. “We have a potential to win…” Alberu placed the empty cup on the coffee table.GRRRRRRRROARRRRRR!“Unless they have more secrets up to their sleeves.” Asumu sipped the tea calmly.“I see.” Amino pulled the chair and sat on it.The three of them collectively ignored the growl of the dragon that echoed in the sky.“We can still win.” Alberu intertwined his fingers together and placed them on his lap. “We will win.” Or we will die. I don’t want to die.“We have her.” Asumu gave an eerie smirk with a hint of secret.“Her? That girl?” Alberu blinked at him.Asumu bobbed his head once as he placed his cup on the table as
Oldie pulled Conan by his waist and skillfully dodged the incoming arrows that Samuel bestowed on the sky. He was a crazy maniac who even launched his arrow attack mindlessly despite having his subordinate on the battleground.‘Crazy!’Both Conan and Oldie spoke the same thing while dodging any arrows that cut the wind and stomped straight to the innocent ground.“Fucking hell! What is wrong with him?” Conan shielded his head with his arm while being hugged through the waist by Oldie who did most of the job.“I don’t know myself.” Oldie groaned. His eyes filled with Mina’s face as if he was facing an early death.But then, he saw a few teammates who were lagging behind.“HEY! FIND A SHELTER OR DODGE THE ARROW PROPERLY!”Conan could only flash his benign smile. Looking at the mess created by the man above, he sensed some ominous feeling at the back. He turned his head to see the werebear that still lined up a few meters from the camp base were looking at Samuel with fire in their eyes.
Maxim could not believe it. After the explosion, as the dust flew around and yet other members died due to his carelessness, he saw Samuel flapping his fire wings and leaping towards them, riding the wind.‘What the… he can even fly!!! How could there be such a crazy human here?’He thought he had the upper hand. Griffin might be smaller than a dragon, but they had the best agility. He wasn’t really worried but now, with Samuel flying fast toward them, changing the trajectory of his movement. The fact that Samuel was wearing an identical mask as Lord Shadow made it seems as if all of these forces belonged to Lord Shadow instead of Country B. Those masks were Shadow's signature.Maxim’s expression stiffened up.“Commander.”One of his subordinates called for him just below him.It was the same one that had survived numerous attacks from Samuel and persisted until the end. He was the only one who was allowed to come to talk to Maxim in his heated moment.“Speak!” Maxim kept his gaze lo
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
