Thousands of shadows moved soundlessly amongst the black trunks, across tree limbs and through the yellow leaves of the Yellow Leaf forest. no sounds were made or a single yellow leaf was disturbed on the ground, although several thousand mages in full armor were trotting through at full speed. Leaving not even a footprint was left behind.
The forest became thinner as the army came to the forest edge. An outline of a giant stone wall that seemed to touch the sky could be seen through the clearing. A small army of shirtle
"I can't believe that Elves are still alive, we have to find and kill every single one of them before they start causing trouble. If they regain their strength, then they will be coming after us for revenge. Ash, are you sure you don't want to tell King Fitzroy?""No, we have been here for four months and we've only seen the first scout, the rest we picked up from sensors we placed in the forest. If they had the strength, they would have attacked us already instead of simply scouting us out for half a year. No point in calling him here, though I would love to see the legendary Earthquake Fitzroy in action," Xasha s
Track marks were left in the fresh snow as evidence of Xasha, Verra and Cecile taking their leave of the winter wonderland. They were riding the new models of the bike designed by Xasha. He chose a much sleeker design with smooth curves and soft lines, the previous model was designed to travel solely on land. However, this new model was designed with both land and air travel in mind. He also made it faster, more comfortable, and more aerodynamic.These new bikes were shaped more like spiders and had three wheels, two in the fr
A chubby youngster around 14 years old with black hair sitting at the front of the class raised his hand and called out, "Sir, may I ask a question?""Of course Lukan, ask away.""If the Thorium Realm is the highest a mage can achieve and Flame Emperor Saxon is far from reaching that Realm, how can he be considered the strongest in Semeria?"
A purple killer whale about 400 meters long appeared in the air above Xasha's enchantment tower. Xasha was sure that the commotion garnered a lot of attention. The whale grunted and growled at Melody for several minutes, inspecting her with its gigantic eyes. It roared in anger towards the sky and fired off a sound wave that hit the sphere she was in with full force; it was pushed back several minutes. When the sphere came to a stop, it blinked out of existence and reappeared at its original spot without a scratch.The Killer whale roared once again, releasing an even more powerful shock wave. Like before, a purple
The Carbonemys lowered its altitude. The pressure Xasha felt seemed to multiply with every inch the Carbonemys lowered its altitude by. He released his mana to the fullest and created a forcefield to ward off the pressure. He felt a sense of relief once the pressure was lifted. The Carbonemys stopped a few feet above the arena and looked at Xasha with its green eyes that were all big as a house.He had the mana inside his body circulating at full speed as he was in fight-or-flight mode ready for anything. It surprised Xasha by acknowledging him and going back into the energy core. Xasha stood there in a daze as he
"Are you alright?""Yes, I'm alright." Xasha struggled for a bit until Tulip helped him to stand to his feet. He looked around the arena in a daze, "What time is it?""It's 8:00 AM," Tulip stood while she dusted off her white dress, "but you were supposed to head out with Verra yesterday. She sent me here to get you, but I saw you here meditating and based on the pressure I felt from you. I thought you were trying to advance in
"Ash told me that before attempting mana manipulation we need to understand what mana manipulation is and before that, we need to understand mana control," Ryan said in a formal tone as if he was a teacher addressing a class full of students."I know this, everyone knows this. Is this how Ash trains you? By teaching you guys magic theory?" Tanasha said disapprovingly."You would think, but tell me this, what is mana contr
"Who?" Xasha was already in his defensive stance and his senses on high alert but even after learning that someone was nearby he couldn't sense their presence. Not even a trace of an aura could be found in the darkness. This uncertainty of what he would be facing made him feel uncomfortable to no end. He took an even more steady defensive stance and had several defensive spells ready.The disembodied voice chuckled, "You sure are a cautious one, I have been observing you for a while now and you have proven yourself to be quite unpredictable. You remain calm, undaunted, yet alert as if waiting for something to happe
"Lili oh my little how beautiful you are, my Lili oh my Lili you are shining like a star..." the sounds of laughter bouncing off the walls filled the room. "Hey, you've never sung to me before," Ari complained as she walked into the room. Xasha looked at her and froze. She was wearing a golden gown with pearls and frills all over, her hair was beautifully done, by Lisa no doubt and her face painted.
Footsteps, murmurs, and the occasional rumble of thunder were the only sounds on a once chaotic battlefield. Every member of the Stardust Army under the peak of the platinum realm joined the beastmen in retreating behind the forcefield. The shockwaves alone from mages that powerful could kill them in a second. "Oh?" Verra said with an intricate expression. "Come then, let's see if you are any better than that lady elf I killed a few days ago."
The air particles whipped around in a circle, culminating and concentrating above the head of the long green hair of a young man. Quietly seated on the hard, heavily scarred ground in a meditative state.A dozen pair of tearful eyes stared at the man from the gallery of the training arena. Verra wiped the tears from her brown cheeks, "I can only imagine. Creating an energy beast spirit with the mana he attracts while he's meditating, that boy truly is extraordinary," she smiled through her sadness.
No less than 30 tribes were ambushed and annihilated using this tactic. The beastmen horde, as predicted, no longer took the bait and avoided the forcefield like the plague. Regardless of the obvious openings or how ruthless the taunts became.Ari looked on from her position in the control room, "I want to know how they are communicating.""Maybe they're not communicating, our little trick was very simple. Those who aren't as overconfident and emotionally unstable will never fall for such a thing," Dana pointed out.Ari gnashed her teeth, "tell raid team A to C to prepare for guerilla tactics. I will see if this was coordinated or coincidence."Boman heard the order and gave a shrewd smile. He gave the signal to his team and as soon as he did, his team who were fighting hard while defending gradually showed signs of losing out. The beastmen gained more confidence and increased their pace of attacks. However, as the raid team pulled back, they did not seem as eager to pursue them.Boman
Cherry woke up in a room with pink walls. Through the glass, she could see men and women in pink lab coats running back and forth. The uniform helped her understand exactly where she was. A tall, heavyset lady with short pink hair walked into the room with a clipboard in her hand. Cherry knew this woman and felt relieved that it was a friend taking care of her. She tried to sit upon the pink stone table she was on, her body was exposed as the pink sheep rolled down from her body. Her bodysuit was cut open and pink bandages were on her legs, arms, and abdomen.The moment she moved, all those places lit up with pain,
The night sky lit up in a myriad of colors, children in their homes were looking at the pretty lights from their windows with amused faces. Not much had changed in Stardust City, nobody even considered for a second that Stardust City would ever be destroyed by an enemy. The streets were full and the nightlife bustling as young people frequented bars, restaurants, and other entertainment venues. In contrast, outside the Six Star Mountain was pure chaos as blood and fire rained down from the sky.It was absolute pandemonium as mages and energy beast fell like autumn leaves, "Burn... Burn, Liu, Burn is down, cover me,
Xasha stood on the water's surface inside the oasis. He waved his hands, moved his body, and changed his stance as he flowed with the wind. His eyes were blindfolded the entire time, but he moved as if he could see. His movements were not random, instead, he was dodging a barrage of air needles being fired off by a naked lady beside the lake.He had been at it for days at a time, relying on his breathing technique and mana control to sense the attacks coming at him. The fact that he was covered in blood and his clothes could b
Over the past 6 months, Verra Green had become one of the most famous mages in history. Everyone knew her name and likeness because In every square of every city was a statue of her In her defensive pose with her gauntlets up ready to protect those she loved. Beside her statue was an obelisk detailing who she was and all her achievements. At the bottom of the obelisk, it stated, "It is unknown whether Verra Green is dead or Alive, but anyone with information that leads to the recovery of her corpse or her returning alive and well to her family will receive 500 billion Libra."
Electric blue hair flowed with the wind as an airship sped through the sky on its way to Stardust City. At Xasha's usual spot stood Xander and his wife, Davene, looking out at the passing sky. Being this high above the clouds, being this far from home was a first for them, "Xasha really has changed this continent, hasn't he?""What do you mean?" Davene asked."Look at us, thousands of miles high in the sky, traveling millions o
