“Let’s follow them.” Shadow grabbed Sabrina’s hand that night.Sabrina who was already curling her body into a small ball on the bed looked up at Shadow who was already jumping down the bed with a perverted smile planted on her face.I smell trouble; Sabrina couldn’t help but whisper the sentence upon looking at the smirk. “What are you planning to do?”Shadow had already discarded her pajamas and ripped open the luggage to search for her working attire. “Something fun.” She said after a beat of silence.“Fun?” Sabrina alarmedly rose from the bed and instantly hopped next to Shadow with a face full of concern. “What kind of fun are you seeking, sister?”Shadow stopped halfway, body turned stiff. The air around suddenly became awfully heavy with a rigid breath escaping her mouth.The goosebumps crawled all over Sabrina’s body and she readily looked at Shadow to understand her better. “Sister…”Shadow raised her head, the mischievous smirk maintained on those beautiful lips. “Fun. Let'
Amino squeezed his chest, feeling miserable by an unknown threat. His eyes hastily looked around and the sudden loud sound was ringing inside his head creating chaos all over his body. He had responded to it poorly.“Hey, hey!” Ryuzaki snapped his fingers to garner Amino’s focus once again. “Follow the sound of my fingers. Follow it.” He raised another unoccupied hand.Amino squeezed shut his eyes, refocusing his vision once again.“Hey! Follow my finger, listen to the sound.”Gradually, Amino’s breathing became labored and hitched. He fell to the floor, blinking rapidly and squeezing tight his tightened chest.Ignoring Ryuzaki’s attempt to soothe his chaotic mind.“Amino! Amino! Focus!” Ryuzaki shouted, calling the medic and anything that could heal at this point. “This is bad, this is bad, this is ba- hey! Him! Him!” Ryuzaki shot up and pulled the healer that had just entered the tent upon hearing the shout from Ryuzaki.“What happened?” The green glow soon emitted from his palms an
Looking at the shabby bomb pit trap just near Amino’s tent, Jose couldn’t believe his own eyes. He wondered whether Naomi was currently playing with him or she, indeed, was shit on making a trap. Whatever it was, the trap was looking messy and obvious. He doubted that she was joking around. Her eyes were so sincere and now, making him bad for shading the trap in the first place. “Ah, be careful, we have also dug some spike pit traps… everywhere.” Jose was so unsure whether he should listen to the command or not but he was certain that Naomi had no talent in this. “Okay.” He just solemnly nodded his head. Then, they heard the incoherent murmurs of the patrolled soldiers beyond the tent. It seemed like they intended to walk past this place. Jose slapped Naomi’s elbow to alert her. “Let’s go back.” Naomi simply changed into a bat and flapped her tiny wings. Jose and the rest of the ambush squad followed suit and flew up to the sky. “We will watch it from above.” Naomi searched
“What is going on?” Ryuzaki sounded devastated while crouching down and hanging his head low.“This is not hard to think about.” Alberu glanced at the chaos that was happening in between the two camps. “Shadow seems to have expected our movement.”Ryuzaki grunted with his dilated eyes, muttering an incoherent sentence all alone.Alberu scoffed at the sight of both the current situation and also Ryuzaki’s reaction. He is so green. He shook his head.“What do you know about war?”“Where all tactics can be considered life-saving.”“You know what it means. I thought you were just riding on Lord Amino’s cocktail."“Amino and I are practically partners for life. We know what you don’t and we teach each other what we know. There’s no secret.”“Have you considered that our reaction last night might affect our judgment for today?”“I have.”“I see…” Alberu massaged his head, having a mild headache so suddenly.Even if they do, nothing can stop Shadow at this point. She had foreseen everything.
“Make way, make way, make way.” Thanks to those soldiers, the chaotic ground seemed a bit organized with the soldiers lined up, creating the path for him. At the end of the line, a few injured soldiers and a huge hunched down body stared at them with a fierce gaze. “Ryuzaki…” Alberu glid through the air using his flight magic. “What are you doing over there?” Ryuzaki looked up, his nose scrunched with mixed emotion. “Lord Alberu.” “It seems we have bestowed tragedy upon tragedy.” Ryuzaki just skimmed through the situation at once before he shot up. “They have protected me like the real soldiers.” Understanding the meaning of his sentence, Alberu easily interpreted it the way he liked it. “We will heal them to the best of our ability.” “Thank you so much.” Ryuzaki bowed at him once after gesturing to the healers and the magicians to transfer the soldiers inside the tent. “Please watch out for your step. In case we have the leftover bombs.” The rest of them gave a brief no
The message continued to deliver along with the rising of the sun.(Country A will officially announce that we will take the land from the greedy hand and free them. Openly and fairly.)“Hah~ This is stupid.”‘Ridiculous even. They still want to take credit. The Bear tribe was on an entirely different continent, the Lion tribe used to reside inside Country B. Only Griffin riders were from their country.’Country A, Bear tribe, Lion tribe, and Griffin riders. Despite that, the name was still Country A. This information made Shadow nearly punch the air. The cold morning became hotter thanks to this useless decree.Beeeeeep~The calls kept coming in as information was delivered straight into Shadow’s ears. (The lord of Country expresses their disappointment and states that they will restore the peace that has been taken away by the current lord of Country B, Lord Samuel.)The expressions inside the rent didn’t look good but Samuel had the biggest expression amongst them.“Me? Me??”“Wha
Shadow took her sleeping time very seriously. She only woke up at midnight after the crickets made numerous sounds.She stretched her body while climbing down the bed, leaving Sabrina that was fast asleep alone in the bed. Silently, she wiped all over her body with a wet towel and cleaned it with a clean towel.Putting on her working suit, she grabbed her mask and left the tent that was occupied by Sabrina and Earthy.“Take good care of Sabrina.” She left a mission to Earthy right before she escaped the tent.Earthy proceeded with moving closer to Sabrina and wrapped his tail around Sabrina.“My Lord…” Conan who was waiting for her outside the tent gave the most radiant smile. “Conan. Where are they?”“All of them are already inside the map’s tent.”“Again?” “They want to organize their attack according to phase.”“Ah! Alright. First of all, let me check the pawns.”Conan led Shadow to the opposite of the map’s tent. “This way.”“I’ll trust you.”“I’d be happy if you said so,” Cona
The war is approaching. The war would break at the early dawn. It’s already near dawn. People were already busy walking around, preparing for the upcoming war with utmost urgency with eyebags hanging under their eyes.For three nights, they were disturbed by ambushed tactics. As a result, they had little to no sleep.The attack was not necessarily fatal but it did consume their mental health. Not many could take a wink of sleep. Aside from Amino who needed the utmost rest, Alberu and Ryuzaki were busy dealing with the blows created by the enemies. It didn’t mean their defense was weak but Shadow’s soldiers were talented and well-versed with stealth. Vampires were known as stealth creatures. They were powerful magicians and famous for their assassin work.No other race could match their specialty. However, Naomi and her clan shone the brightest under the command of Shadow. Shadow was known to be the strictest teacher and infamous for brutal teaching. In Ryuzaki’s understanding, it
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
