Both parties were not in good condition. Labored breath, tight chest, and hunched upper body while their weapons were facing down. Their eyes were looking at each other as if examining each other.
The dust flew around, the fog and the ice were already mixed around. Two different powers had fused in the surrounding, giving them both disadvantages and advantages. Each of them had their own superiority with years of experience.
Dionysus blinked quickly as the creepy smile triumphant on his face.
“What are you thinking, Dio?” Amino said during their short break to gather their breath.
“Nothing much,” he shrugged while looking at flustered Ryuzaki on the floor. “You guys are so interesting.”
Ami
It pained Shadow to see Dionysus was on the brink of passing out. She watched the battle between Dionysus and Amino in between the trees, sitting on a massive branch while chewing a popcorn that she took from someone who was carrying it.Of course, it was with consent. The poor pregnant lady was stuck in between the ruined building with her leg toppled by a piece of gigantic wall. Her hand desperately clenched the bag of popcorn as if the popcorn was her savior.Came Shadow into the scene with half-moon eyes and offered to help her out only if she exchanged the popcorn with her labor. The poor pregnant lady contemplated, for a little while. It took the lady two minutes to agree before Shadow snatched the popcorn away from that lady and lifted the excessive weight
Shadow marched toward the bed, at Sabrina’s side. The straight line on her lips quivered when she saw Sabrina twitch her closed eyelids. The straight-line soon curved upward and a small crack appeared in between those lines.Slowly, she extended her hand and put her palm on Sabrina’s forehead, feeling the warmth of her skin.“She has no fever and has a clear breath.” She raised her hand but then stopped a mere centimeter above.Then, she saw Sabrina’s lips twitch too.“Here is your drink.” Hades was already busy helping Dionysus out.“Than- thank-” The hoarse voice tried to express his gratitude. Unluckily, his throat was too dry to even make out a decent sente
Cole and Conan knocked on the door of the chamber nervously. They had returned after completing the job that was assigned to them with flying colors. “Why are we here again?” Cole wondered why they had been in and out of the same chamber numerous times in a span of a week. “Because this room is her entire personality.” Conan tried to be playful and planted a benign smile right in front of the door outside the chamber. Tok! Tok! Tok! “Enter.” The voice answered not long after. Cautiously, they entered the chamber with wary smiles planted. Their eyes scanned the whole clean chamber that smelled like a fresh chicken chop. It’s already late evening when they met the lord and she was in the middle of eating.
“What… What is this? What is going on right now?” Ryuzaki pulled out his hair in shock. The reports came in right after he woke up from his deep sleep after being traumatized by Dionysus. And the first thing he had learned was everything that he owned was destroyed and his executives had completely disappeared under the radar. “What is this?!!!” He shouted yet again. Amino rubbed the nape of his neck in stress. Shadow had always told him that life was about choices; some that were impossible to make, whole others we lived to regret. But, we’re human after all, prone to make mistakes. Humans were faulty, were both good and bad - the perfect balance of two sides. And she surely had never forgotten to tell him that… s
Drugs, guns, whores. Amino had a hand in all of it. He was the lord of Country A and the ultimate villain that Shadow needed to get rid of. He was the vicious and ruthless man to be alive.Back on earth, if there was a dead body floating in the river, most of the time, he could be traced back to it within six degrees of separation. He used to be feared by everyone.However, he had miscalculated everything. He wasn’t the ultimate person to receive the utmost respect.It was Shadow.If anything, she was what one would call a beautiful monster.Amino has always been compared to that girl and he took it very personally. Suck to be him though, he had fallen to that lady, real hard.
Elijah stood right before the window, eyes were gazing down the third floor. She was in the middle of shopping inside the shopping mall with Edmund to protect their mental health. Due to the recent invasion, both of them couldn’t take even a single break. It has already been a week since both Amino and Ryuzaki were seen. They went under the radar and left the country unsupervised. Elijah was seen as the traitor and Edmund was regarded as a rebellious teenage boy. Not only that, the executives had long disappeared as well. Right now, the elders had to take over administering the country. And suddenly, the country faced economic difficulty. All because the suppli
Edmund rushed into the place that he knew the best that could provide everything he ever wanted.“Elijah, Elijah! Wake up.” He tried to shake her body, a futile attempt nonetheless.For the first time in his life, his inner emotion howled creepily, telling him that he was a loser for not protecting the one he should be protecting. For someone who only lived for himself, it's something he’s never felt, not even when he found that he was kidnapped by the lords that he served.Edmund considered leaving the maid to die, but the ache inside only intensified. It would be catastrophically wrong. So, Edmund gently picked the maid up bridal style, and carried her to th
Dionysus, Hades, and Persephone returned to their promised day for the very next day. After the shopping mall attack, the trio arrived after half a day of hitting the road. On the way, they asked for Amel’s help to block all the communication from entering their target destination, which was the main city of Country A. And they did. As a result, no one inside the main city knew anything regarding any news. In a way, the city was similar to the well. The citizens were like a frog living inside the well. And sometimes, ignorance is bliss. Well, the second proverb was heavy to their advantage. And now, they were discussing the final setup for the last time. They had recei
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
