The strapping massive arrows banged against the shield and everything around them.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
The arrows mercilessly banged against the sturdy shield. Samuel was quite relaxed not until he saw the trembled body and arms of the normal soldier that was protecting him. He clicked his tongue out of his self-contempt.
He asked for two assistants, however, he only had one. The magician was busy enough to keep up with the uninvited arrows while the elf was focusing on healing his body. And most ironically, he couldn’t wield his power while healing.
“Shit, shit, shit.” Samuel cursed at himself. “Hurry.” He slapped Eva’s forearm, urging the lady to make haste.
“This is fast enough, Lo
“Lord, as far as I can see, Samuel didn’t do well without you.”“Yeah?”Sabrina peeked at the battleground at the highest ground. They were already lingering around the battleground and hanging out around there as if they were on a picnic.Shadow was sipping her watermelon juice with dangling legs while sitting at the edge of the boulder. Sabrina was standing next to her as her eyes trained on the battleground. Thanks to her power, she could cover up the whole battleground and watch the battle at any angle.“Anubis is having a feast with Lilo,” Sabrina reported her finding to Shadow voluntarily. “Samuel is struggling with a lich.”“Ah, really?” Shadow did
Shadow hopped like a rabbit in one place while stretching her fingers. Her mask was still on point despite how messy she was landed. It was on good material. She was so happy about it. That’s because her mask was everything.In the Underworld, inside her organization and empire, all of her subordinates must wear a mask during work to prevent any unnecessary recognition from the enemy which led to ruin one life.Her motto was to never mix work life and personal life and if the enemy knew their faces outside their working hours, it would defeat the whole purpose.However, only Shadow was allowed to pull off her mask both during working hours and in private. Why? Because she was the strongest.
Busaba cautiously peeked at the unmoving Shadow. She bent her waist and searched for any movement like moving chest to indicate breathing or muscle twitching. Her eyes couldn’t feel more lively when Shadow didn’t even respond.She raised her finger and tugged Shadow’s hair behind her ear while watching her with a fascinating gaze.“Am I the real winner?”Gruuuuu~Shadow’s stomach made a sound.“The poison is reacting.” Busaba broadcast everything that she heard,Well, it was supposed to start at her heart instead of the stomach where it hit her. Only she could pay attention to those small details, she could link all the dots.
At that moment… The purple liquid rose from the crack of the ground and created a weapon akin to a scythe. No, it was too similar to the grim reaper scythe that she knew. ‘Don’t tell me…’ The purple scythe emerged from Anubis’s back. The shadow rose from Anubis’s back yet he was too focused on the targets in front of him. “No, NO!” Busaba screamed when she knew what would happen next. “ANUBIS!!!!” “Huh?” Anubis turned his head toward the voice. And then… Slice! The scythe sliced Anubis’s neck before it collapsed and
The next morning, Shadow woke up with the loudest grunt and the sudden rise from the comfortable lie. On top of that, she was woken up by her itching and aching body, that horrible sensation that demanded attention.Her throat also felt so dry like she swallowed sand. But then, she saw the doorknob slowly twisting open from outside before Samuel’s sleepy head appeared in between the crack of the door.“My Lord, have you woken up?”Shadow waved her hand lazily as she went, “as you can see.”“I can see that.” Samuel then disappeared before the sound of a door clicked shut.Shadow ignored his rude action as she was aware that Samuel had probably notified the maids to help her get ready.
“I am glad that you’re happy.” Shadow sat back, leaning her back against the chair. “That’s not a half-bad idea.” He diligently wiped off all the waste he snarfed and accurately threw it inside the dustbin. “I guess I can give it a shot.” Shadow smiled sweetly. “There ya go. Happy Samuel, Happy Shadow. We need it.” Sabrina only shook her head in disbelief, didn’t even waste her word to offer any kind of condolence. “How about you, My Lord?” Samuel asked the real question as his intonation drastically declined sharply. “Me? What about me?” “You and Elijah?” Shadow rotated her neck toward Sabrina, silently asking her to inte
20 minutes before. “Is that all?” Cole curled his lips in disgust. He tipped his chin at Conan. That’s all, he mouthed at the head butler. Conan huffed tiredly as he massaged his head. At the moment, they oppressed all the corrupted nobles in one place and were now doing a judgment according to the authority given by Shadow. Samuel had sent the issue to Shadow, which Shadow approved in the blink of an eye. Thus, taking advantage of the chaotic situation this country was in, he executed the plan according to Shadow’s will. During the raid, he found something amusing. Apparently, all nobles had a long history with the demon. Furthermore,
“Uwaaaaaa~ Uwaaaaa~ it hurts. It hurts. Everything is hurting. Uwaaaaaaa~” Shadow couldn’t stop the flow of her tears. “Oh my, oh my, oh my…” the 17-years-old young man quickly scooped her into a massive hug and carefully patted her head. “Brother… brother… help me. It’s painful.” “I know, I know, brother is sorry, sweetheart. He can’t do anything for you.” The young man buried his face inside Shadow’s tiny neck. “I am so sorry. For a mere five-yers-old to experience this…” His body was trembling vigorously, sobbing together with her. The five-year-old Shadow was wailing loudly with her body already smeared with a lot of ugly dark patches all over her body. Wearing a thin white loose gown, she clung onto her brother and fumbled
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
