Mane's strength lay not only in his impressive abilities as an Energy and Body Wielder, but as Spiritualist and Scholar as well. As a Tetra Wielder, being able to pursue many paths was his greatest strength. Mane wasn't capable of blending all of his abilities together though, and had been trying his best to reach such a realm. But it wasn't far fetched to say that when he finally did, his true power would be far greater than what he was displaying now.It was said that for a Heaven Realmer to become a Noble, he or she had to comprehend a law to some extent. But that wasn't the true case. Actually, the goal of Nobility was indeed to comprehend a Law. It was only by doing so would one have the chance of becoming an Ascender. But it was a bit more complicated than that. The Realm of Nobles was a tiring one, and this was because it was at this stage that one had to start converting their Breaths to Glows. One had to integrate their Breaths into their bloodline so they can be passed on.
"Together?" Mane was stunned when he heard Alucard's plea. This was the first time he had been this surprised in a while."Yes Master Mane. You may not know it, but I am at the peak of the 7th Stage of Ascension. Tucker should be at the 6th Stage; yet even with our power, neither of us is comfortable when scrutinized by you, and this can only mean that we are weaker than you!" Alucard stated calmly.The more he spoke, the calmer his voice got and the faster the suppression from Mane's aura was slowly lost. He was Alucard after all. This wasn't the first time he had faced such suppression. He had faced gods and shaken off their dominance many years ago. Although the current Mane was frightful, he wasn't indomitable."I know the levels of your strength," Mane thought to himself, but didn't say this out loud. Although they knew he was a Scholar, they has no idea that he was a Spiritualist. And he would like it to remain that way."Alright. If that's the case then let it be so." Mane nodd
A furious wind swiftly approached the young Supreme, yet Mane's steps remained steady and firm. He could feel the torturous power of a High Class Vampire and the destructive force of one of the successors of Shiva. The two energies were distinct yet united; opposite yet similar. Mane couldn't explain it, but it was almost like the blood energy of Alucard and the destructive husk of Tucker had come to a tacit understanding; and now they were seeking his head."This is..." within Lilith's tent, the Blood Succubus had a stunned expression on her face as she witnessed the fight. Even she had no idea when she had vacated her sleeping bag and pulled open the flap to her tent to spectate the fight. But there was one thing she was certain of; and that was..."It's impossible for Blood Energy to coexist peacefully with other types of energy!"Blood Energy was the strength of every Noble Vampire. Every vampire of ancient and majestic origins was capable of using Blood Energy. In the past there
The deafening clash carried great momentum, and the grass of the field where they lay was forcefully flattened. The formerly steady tents were blown away by the sheer force the clash. The barrier Mane had built up fractured like a weak glass pane and soon it broke apart; for Mane was too preoccupied to be constantly refueling the barrier's energy reserves."I knew this would happen," Lilith gnashed her teeth furiously and distanced herself from the fight. It was one thing to blow her tent away, but the forceful wind didn't just rest at taking away the only shelter she had here; her clothes had been blown away as well! Apart from the clothes she had on right now, every other article of clothing she had brought with her was gone! To be fair she should have kept her clothes within her storage bag, but it didn't change the fact that the careless brawl of the three had caused her to add shopping to her list of things to do on this planet. She couldn't help but want to pummel the heads of
*Boom*"Geez. Do they plan to destroy the land?" Several kilometers away, Dracula sighed pretentiously and said. Although he spoke as one who cares for the environment, his slightly ecstatic expression suggested that that was not the case. The eyes of the King of Blood were glowing in the dark, allowing him to perceive the fight although the battle was so far away from him. The King of Vampires had to admit that even he had to struggle to calm his excited blood as he watched the fight. The battle was a monstrous one, and though Mane, Tucker and Alucard were several hundreds of metres away from him, the ground beneath him groaned in dissatisfaction at the carelessness of the three powerhouses."Tucker is not weak at all. And he seems to be getting stronger as the battle progresses. That means his power isn't fully consolidated yet. Hmm. How far would he be able to go when it is?"Dracula's eyesight was as sharp as a night owl. He was able to easily deduce that Tucker was now getting
Mane was forced to retreat after the attack. Although he had successfully warded of Tucker's saber, the force of the strike had knocked him backwards. Mane couldn't begin to relax; for he saw Tucker and Alucard approaching. No warrior worth his or her salt would allow a retreating opponent some peace. Once the initiative was taken, there was every chance to deal with that opponent! This time Tucker didn't retreat to recover his energy. The servant of the Supreme's eyes flashed with understanding as more and more of the Imperial Techniques started to make sense to him. "Imperial Feet"Tucker wasted no time in resorting to the Imperial Movement Technique. His feet barely touched the ground; his movements were fleeting like time.Mane's eyeballs swirled within his sockets. While he was able to keep up with Alucard speed, Tucker's speed was something he still couldn't cope with. Just like Dracula suspected, the more Tucker was enlightened, the stronger he got. Mane had struggled to keep
Mane’s role as a spectator ended the moment Alucard lifted his head and stared into his eyes. An eerie feeling gripped his chest as his eyes flashed with a great deal of caution. Alucard’s eyes were devoid of the wisdom they contained at the beginning. Fangs overarched his lips as drool with some blood mixed with it, dropped from his mouth. His gaze was like that of an animal staking it’ prey. And Mane knew exactly why.“Augendae: Spirit Scan; Target: Bloodlust’Bloodlust: A skill possessed by Vampire Royalty. This skill requires that a Vampire Royal consumes the blood of a pure member of another species. It gives the user power comparable to the strength contained in the blood consumed. However, it comes at a cost. Bloodlust robs the user of his or her sanity, making it a difficult skill to control. It should be noted this ability only works with those who have never been tainted by the fangs of a Dark Creature.Dracula and Alucard thought Bloodlust was restricted to humans, but t
The first thing Alucard did when he was overwhelmed with Bloodlust was to shoot a large fireball at Mane. However, flames of such caliber had no effect on Mane. His flames were much stronger, and his blood easily absorbed the fire energy, using it to refuel what had been lost. Mane absorbed the fire as quickly as it appeared, and that was why Alucard transitioned to using his aura blades. Although his mind had been overrun by animal-like instincts, he knew when to call an ineffective strategy quits. But Alucard didn't expect that Mane would be able to absorb the power of his aura blades and even worse, return that disastrous power to him. A bright blue sword liight that was as thick as the arm of an infant speedily approached Alucard, seeking his life. This wasn't the blue of water - ocean blue - but the brilliant blue of lightning. A disastrous power flooded the battlefield as the sword light flew towards Alucard. The sword light was brilliantly swift, and Alucard was given no time
“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
“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
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
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
