Absolute Darkness; It's Weakness?
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Mane’s gentle whisper was an edict to Edict; an order to the energy that embodied order. Streams of Edict rushed into his body at his command. Outer energy that was escaping from the dead Barbarians merged into the energy of the surroundings and filled Mane’s body speedily. Mane allowed himself to be filled with Edict. Like a withered branch soaking in the pleasant waters of the river of life, Mane basked in the glow of power that dominated the world. Every fiber of his being – from his bones to his muscles; from his heart and blood vessels to his organs and every single tissue; from his every single one of his tendons to his ligaments – was filled with power. His eyes flashed brightly as he basked in the glow of being filled once again and he finally, for the first time since the fight had begun, unsheathed his twin blades.
“Camila,” the three leaders of the now obliterated party of 15 were together once again. They made the decision to se

“Are you alright, Camila?” Nasir was quick to move to the side of his leader. Seeing her figure covered entirely in dust and dust alone, and not wounds, made him a much more relieved man. But he still asked of her wellbeing out of courtesy.“I’m fine,” Camila smirked and replied. She gently patted the dust off her alluring figure. Although she was covered in dirt and grime, she didn’t lose her appeal in any way. The short shorts she wore had been scrapped during her floor roll, and it had become even shorter with a few small holes displaying her fair thighs. Her skimpy top wasn’t spared either. The lower bottom of the shirt and a bit off its top had been torn, revealing a bit of the two fair mounds that were meant to be hidden. Nasir couldn’t help but be distracted by the beautiful Barbarian woman before him, even though he knew that it wasn’t the time to lose his concentration.Camila gently tugged at her axe, and

*Bang*The large head that was covered all over in shaggy hair rolled on the ground a few times.Camila was right in her analysis of Absolute Darkness. Her timing and everything else was spot on. The only thing she couldn’t quite figure out was its cooldown, but as Nasir had put it so succinctly before his head was forced to part ways with his body and tasked to fend for itself – a task which the copious amount of blood that was streaming out of the decapitated head would suggest it failed at – the cooldown didn’t matter if they got their timing right. In truth, if Mane didn’t have other elements he could use and was only a Darkness User, he may have been in some trouble from her analysis. Some trouble, but not enough to see him join the souls of the departed.And that was because Camila and Nasir had no idea about Breaths. They didn’t know that Mane didn’t only have Absolute Darkness, but a Darkness Element Breath as we
Hunters: The Prequel Something Else
“I’ve seen something like this before,” Hildegarde who was right next to Mane had a struggling expression on her face as she tried to recall where she had seen this. Luckily her struggles didn’t go on for long. For Mane came to her aid immediately.“You saw them in my memories,” Mane had an unsightly expression on his face as he spoke. When he and Hildegarde had been bonded together during their transfer, she got to see his memories. There were some he hid from her, and some he showed to her. His first fight with the Possessed, when he and Abe had to deal with it after Abe’s breakthrough, was amongst those memories that she had been allowed to see.“Ah yes,” Hildegarde exclaimed in remembrance. However, a huge frown framed her face when she remembered the actual details of that memory. She remembered that Mane and his friend had only been able to kill that undead creature by destroying its core. And that core had be

*Bang**Bang**Bang**Bang*In less than a second both had exchanged a flurry of blows. Camila’s giant axe had crashed into Mane’s twin heavy swords so many times that both set of weapons had developed feelings of rivalry and comradery at the same time.Mane’s red eyes flashed strongly like the blazing coals of a fiery smelt. Along with the bellow of thunder he pierced Night’s Kiss towards Camila. As he did he didn’t forget to utilise Night Mare. The other heavy sword gathered lightning upon its blade and concentrated the destructive element wielded by Zeus and Thor onto its tip.*Bang*Unsurprisingly, Camila was able to deflect Night’s Kiss blade without any issue. Her huge axe span around her like an ever present shield. Like the shield of Aegis no matter which part Mane struck, she was protected. Her eyes were still lifeless, yet there was a fire that burned within its depths that tried to bore i
Hunters: The Prequel Mane Versus Camila: Part II
Once again Camila found herself below Mane’s towering figure. The red in his eyes were not at all inferior to her own, but the deep contradiction between the red of his eyes and the white of his lightning wasn’t lost on her. Several loud screeches were heard as Mane gathered lightning into his twin blades, their edges sharpening rapidly under the tempering of the destructive element.“Bloodied Blade: Crazed Cut of the Blade King!”With a furious bellow Mane announced the name of his technique. It wasn’t to anyone in particular. It was more like a declaration of what he was going to do. He intended to crash the foe before him with absolute force. The lightning around his blades screamed even louder as they became more destructive. The Bloodied Blade Series was so much more destructive than the Prideful Sword Series. So much so that Mane had been able to pick up just one technique from it so far. And when used in conjunction with an element

“You won,” Hildegarde landed on his head and said. Although Mane was hurt, she had a small smile on her face knowing that it was all over.“Yeah. This is one of the most difficult fights I’ve had to endure. And I was largely lucky.” Mane smiled wryly and said. If the other Barbarian lady had stayed behind and Nasir was also included in this fight, Mane wouldn’t have stood a chance being besieged on all sides since the transformed Camila was more than enough for him. The only thing he didn’t quite understand was why Camila didn’t use this form sooner. After all, although its aftereffects weren’t pleasant, it was better than dying. And that was why Mane attributed the victory to luck. So many elements had gone in his favor in this battle.“Something feels off,” Hildegarde suddenly stated, her expression tense.“Mane! Watch out!” she screamed.But it was too late*Puchi*
Hunters: The Prequel Ivor's Master
In another of the desolate parts of the wilderness, a black hole stood. The hole was a few feet off the ground and looked like a mirage to anyone who was within 50 meters of it. Yet no creature dared to get close to it. For the few that did were sucked into the black hole – well, parts of them. Some had only their heads sucked in, effectively beheading them and costing them their lives. Others had half of their bodies taken, and some were totally minced even before they could step foot into the black hole. The creatures that remained had learned from the deaths of the first few. No one dared try again.Suddenly the black hole that had been quiet all this while showed signs of activity. It moved and churned into a spiraling vacuum as it slowly grinded into motion. The few creatures around watched in curiosity as the black hole which had only been taking, spat something out for the first time. What it spat out was a large man who had a slightly panicked expression on his
Hunters: The Prequel Ivor's Master: Part II
Ivor’s destination was the entrance of the Dark Valley. He had placed a Space Mark there so that was the only place he could travel to. Besides, it was the only place he would need to go to since Mane’s appearance meant that the Princess wasn’t that far behind.The first thing that greeted Ivor was the dim lighting of a Light Grass. When he looked across the space to locate the source of the grass he was met with the surprised expression of the one whom he was meant to protect – the Princess he had come for.“Ivor?” Lily had a surprised expression on her face when she saw the newcomer. A black hole suddenly appeared before herself and Silver. It was within the range of the light grass that floated right before them so they saw it pretty easily. And both were pretty anxious when the gaping hole they couldn’t see through suddenly appeared before them. Their anxiety from waiting for Mane was heightened, and Silver had even summone

“This…is amazing,” Mane’s eyes widened as he took in the sight before him.The young Supreme was seated on Roxanne. The beautiful dark horse had been granted the power of flight by Crystal who had no trouble casting a flight Lease on the lovely beast. While this was not a permanent condition, it would last hours, and that was thanks to Crystal’s expert command over Chaos. Any other person would have been able to cast this Lease for just under a few minutes. Mane was no exception to this. Even if his power was not sealed, he would not be able to use this Lease to liberally. If this Lease was that practical, it would have been popularized.Next to him, Professors Stern and Stanley, and Dean Desmond had smile plastered on their faces as they watched the Supreme’s gobsmacked reaction to the impressive sight before him. Behind the professors were the students, both old and new. While the older students, Kahn, Frost, Bel, and Maia were floating on their own, the new students had to be envel
Hunters: The Prequel Brothers Reunited
“What a brilliant welcome,” Poseidon slowly moved towards the teenage looking Zeus and Atlas with a broad smile on his face.The god of the waves floated elegantly upon a bident, his eyes briefly scanning Atlas before finding his brother’s immature figure.“You have grown weak, brother,” Poseidon chuckled as he slowly flew towards his brother.Atlas, who had been on guard since Poseidon’s appearance, frowned upon seeing the god of the waves getting closer to a much weaker Zeus. His figure flashed as he appeared before Zeus, shielding him from the gaze of his own blood brother. “You have fallen low brother. Now, you require the protection of a titan? Hilarious.” Poseidon mocked as he locked eyes with the delicate looking Atlas. “Of course I have fallen. Not only was I betrayed by my own son, but I also almost died. What did you expect will happen when one who is considered as part of the big three of Olympus approaches a fallen god?” Zeus did not mind his brother’s comments.Instead

Days passed and soon it was time for Mane to leave the planet of the Celestial Emperor. Well, he wasn’t the only one leaving. It was time for the professors to return to their academies with their students – both old and new. In front of the portal that could transport them back to their academies, Mane stood with his friends as they bid each other goodbye. Well, something close to that at least. To give them some privacy, the other professors had gone on ahead with the students, standing a few tens of meters away from the Silver Wolves.“Our great Supreme, our captain and leader, the Unbended is finally leaving us. Whatever are we to do?” Abe waved his hands theatrically as he feigned sadness and pain.His words caused Selina and the twins to snicker. Only Aegeus snorted before shooting Abe a deathly stare. As for Mane, he could only smile wryly at Abe’s comments. He didn’t know when it had started since he had been away for so long in the Dreamscape, but Abe had become more easy goi
Hunters: The Prequel Way Forward
It took a week for Godking to complete its assignment and soon, Mane was back on Planet Celestial. Walking through the streets of the capital, he noticed that he was receiving a lot of stares. While it wasn’t unusual for people to stare at him given his appearance and his ethereal aura, that was only on Zandor. One could argue that it was because he didn’t look like a Celestial, but that was not accurate either. Since Celestials opened their homes to others who craved entry into the God Academies, they had welcomed several different species into their home world. Mane wasn’t not out of place in this new era, meaning there were definitely staring for another reason.“You have become very popular, young Supreme,” Professor Stern who was walking next to Mane chuckled and said.“Hahaha! The recordings that were taken of you should have spread everywhere by now. Even those who were unable to attend the event know who you are!” Professor Stanley laughed heartily while striking the young Sup

“You are still eating, even after all that happened?” Hildegarde frowned and said.She was looking at the boy who had forcefully taken her with him when he was returning to his realm with a disapproving gaze. They had escaped that world that had been prepared as his burial place. As though it had never happened, they had returned to the exact spot he had been teleported from – the kitchen. Hildegarde was confused about his current reaction.Seeing him biting onto his tuna sandwich caused her eyebrows to lift in frustration. It was the very same meal that Mane had made and had barely taken a bite of when he was transported to another world. And yes, that was not a dream; it had really happened. She couldn’t understand how the Supreme could be so calm after coming out of a life-or-death situation.“What would you have me do then? Toss it into the trashcan? That would be a waste of food.” Mane answered nonchalantly as he wiped some fish from his cheek.“That…” Hildegarde searched for wor

There were many things that could not be understood in this world, regardless of the amount of logic that one’s mind could process at any given moment, there were things that befuddled even the most brilliant minds. One of such brilliant minds – no, two of these – was staring into the sky full of stars with a torn expression on his face. This man – nay, this god – was the trickster and master shapeshifter, Loki. But he wasn’t alone.“What are you thinking about?”“Many things.”“The great Loki has more than one troubling issue? This is interesting. Odin would have laughed at the absurdity of such a statement; but looking at your expression, it seems to be true.”“It is arrogance to assume that one can solve all one’s problems with one’s mind alone. Why do you think I sought you?”“Isn’t it greater arrogance to presume that two would be enough?”“But its not just two is it? One is the mind of Odin and the other is the mind that Odin sought.”“You say you aren’t arrogant, but you do not

He moved quickly, his feet gliding across the floor soundlessly as he reached the Earth Realmer’s unguarded back. He opened his mouth and spat out a dagger, sending it flying towards the neck of his enemy. Before he was spotted by one of the Profound Realmers, his dagger had already pierced the Earth Realmer’s neck, and the latter was grasping at his neck furiously, almost like he could seal the hole and return his blood to his body by doing so.“Intru-“*Puchi*Dan swiftly waved his hands, changing the direction of his dagger and sending it flying into the neck of the Profound Realmer who had tried to sell him out. As he did so he was already sweeping his foot towards the abdomen of another enemy.*Boom*The stunned guard was sent flying into the wall and coughing up blood before he could fully understand what was going on. By this time, the last guard had finally caught up. He dashed towards Dan quickly, drawing his sword in the process. Without any hesitation he swung his blade at

“There really is no one impressive here,” Dragon King Bast stated as his sword sliced through a Noble as easily as cutting through tofu.“I knew he said he will make sure this place is left almost unguarded, but this is incredible,” Captain Hafiz muttered as he watched the disciplined legion of warriors beelining into their path.While he spoke calmly, his rioting aura and the violence being radiated in his eyes showed his eagerness for war. He was not the only one expressing such deathly intent. Every member of the Sun Squad was ready to go wild, their eyes gleaming just as dangerously as their captain.“Why are you people talking so much. Let’s fight!” Monkey King Hanuman roared out and jumped towards the approaching legion.While the others were a bit taken aback that there were none of the Skies here to face them, Monkey King Hanuman didn’t care about that. Last he remembered, several of the Skies had died on his planet, leaving only the strongest behind. Since Loki said he would
Hunters: The Prequel Breakout!
Back in the Dreamscape Universe, there was a war raging. While it wasn’t overt, citizens in every world could feel that the drums of war had been brought out. They had not been embroiled in chaos yet, but they knew that soon the drum beaters will strike down, announcing the start of another war, and this world would fall into disorder again.The one who stood at the centre of this war were preparing in their own right. Within the camp of ‘good’, Loki, Ananse, and Zica, gathered allies. So far they had attracted the likes of the Barbarian Primogenitor, Red Rose, and some of the Barbarian Ancestors. Destiny and Pathfinder were here along with a few other unknown ancestors. As if that wasn’t enough, the Barbarian Lord, Magma, and his Flames, had also escaped the confines of their home to join this war. They weren’t the only ones that had stepped up though. The Elementals had not hesitated to send their best as well. Ancestor Spector had arrived with a few other ancestors from Amalgamatio
