Back on the battlefield, Mane was looking at the two warriors of the Citadel left - Dragon King Bast and Elder Hanuman. Although there were only two remaining, Mane could not feel any relief. Rather, now that the others were not here, a strong sense of unease washed over his heart; it was especially so with the one called Hanuman. The sense of crisis the man gave him was so strong that Mane didn’t even bother to admire the large chasm he had created; neither did he pay attention to Elder Wind who had been buried several meters within that chasm. All that was on his mind were his two opponents.“Are you finally awake?” Dragon King Bast turned to Elder Hanuman and asked. His question was a bit startling since Elder Hanuman had been with him all this while. The man had been awake since the moment he tried to rope Mane into his plot till now. So why was the Dragon Lord asking such a strange question?“Hehe. I am. The Dragon Blade made sure of that.” Elder Hanuman smiled bitterly and said.
The previously beaten elders landed in front of Mane with their killing intent focused on the young Supreme. Each of them looked different, suggesting that they had indeed resorted to using their trump cards, not that Mane was complaining. Elder Cafu had transformed into a humanoid creature covered all over in white scales that gleamed brightly under the baptism of the sun. His head was covered by a helmet that was as white as wool but harder than steel. In his hands was a large cleaver that was made out of the very same scales that covered his body, and strapped to his waist was a gourd that Mane sensed was filled with water, not wine. “Does it have to do with his ability, Child of Water?” Mane wondered before taking in the changes of the others. Elder Wind’s transformation was different from Elder Cafu’s, but both shared some similarities. For starters, Elder Wind had also transformed into a humanoid creature. However, unlike Elder Cafu he gave off the aura of a demon, proving tha
“He took care of him in just an attack?” Dragon King Bast frowned and said. Elder Hanuman who was floating above the battlefield also had a frown on his face. “Was that the Time Attribute?” he wondered. He who was an expert of unknown origins was able to recognize the power that Mane employed right before he struck Elder Minas. After all, Elder Minas in his Minotaur form was a great threat. It shouldn’t have been that easy to deal with him. Besides, Elder Hanuman was able to see Elder Minas’s momentary loss in strength. It was almost as if Edict had abandoned him; as though time had been disrupted.“Indeed, he has more cards in the deck than his strength suggests,” Elder Hanuman mumbled. Turning his eyes away from the battle, he flew over to Elder Sydney and Elder Crane, landing right before the former.“Elder Hanuman,” Elder Sydney’s eyes flashed open. “What are my orders,” she asked swiftly.“Focus on sealing the God Slayer,” Elder Hanuman ordered Sydney while secretly praising her
Since his days at the Wielder Academy in Zandor, Mane had been good at manipulating water and earth. However, his understanding of fire was just below those two. When it came to using fire as the destructive element that it was, Mane was a pro. In that regard, there were few that could contend with him; however when it came to applying the laws of fire in a more docile way, Mane could not find much to boast in. So during those two weeks that Night Mare and Night’s Kiss were getting their upgrade, Mane had put himself to work. He focused solely on the Law of Fire, trying to understand how he could apply the destructive element in more peaceful ways; and he did that by trying his hands on Fire Golems.During the first week, he failed to control the power of the flames and almost caused the motel he was staying at to be engulfed in flames multiple times. However, after listening to Hildegarde’s advice and trying his hands at creating smaller fire cloaks around small figurines first, he w
Elder Wind coughed up some blood from the impact of the strikes; however, he didn’t fall nor did he lose his fighting spirit. His eyes shone brightly as the murderous intent in them ballooned into a powerful force. Without paying attention to the Fire Golem behind him, he gathered all his strength and formed a wind gauntlet around his arm. With his senses Mane could tell that the wind gauntlet was made of volatile wind elements and could disperse at any moment. This attack was one meant to explode upon contact!“He wants to take one down before even if he is to fall!” Mane realized. The Fire Golem behind Elder Wind was already in the process of attacking him again. In the next second a powerful punch was sure to crash into the elder’s back and leave him incapacitated. However, Elder Wind ignored that attack and focused on the one before him. It seemed that the blow he had taken was more serious than he made it out to be. This was because although it looked like Elder Wind was not affe
“This isn’t good,” Dragon King Bast watched the fight with furrowed brows. Mane dealing with so many of the elders in this short amount of time was extraordinary enough, but the fact that he had done so without putting his hands on them directly stunned Dragon King Bast. As if that wasn’t enough, there was no way he could help out due to his restrictions.“There is nothing more painful than watching your subordinates getting owned without being able to do anything about it,” Dragon King Bast sighed bitterly. He wished that he could go out and take Mane on; he really did. Unfortunately the energy of the Dragon Blade was still unstable. Although it was slowly reaching the level that he could control, it still wasn’t good enough for him to make a move. All this wouldn’t have been a problem if one person was around.“Where is that old man by the way? It has been ages since he disappeared and seeing that the barriers have been removed, it is safe to say that he has already completed his as
Seals were difficult to place and even more difficult to remove. Unlike other abilities that could be dealt with by taking care of the source of the problem - which in most cases is the wielder dishing the attack - a seal could only be broken when some specific conditions were met. There were some seals that could only be removed by the one who placed them. Such seals would remain forever if the one responsible died! Only if the victim found the hidden locks to the seal, could the seal be undone. Unfortunately, it was difficult to find those locks. They were mysteries that could not easily be seen through, even by great Scholars.The other type of seals was the immortal type. An immortal seal was just as the name implied - it lasted forever. The caster had no right or the ability to remove the seal, neither were they any hidden locks - conditions for removal - that had to be met. Immortal seals were the most brutal of seals since it took the life of the caster and/or a number of other
The seal had placed a ban on Mane’s use of Edict. That meant that his both his Glows and Breaths were inaccessible to him; all but one.BasileusThat power was an inheritance that Mane received as a scion of Weapon Masters. It was the Glow that his Granduncle came to be known by. It was the power that depended on Edict for activation and not Edict; and the young Supreme was eager to remind the Citadel men of who had locked them up in this barrier in the first place. This world didn’t have much Chaos and Mane could only use what he had saved up from before. But that was enough; that would do.“Glow: Basileus.”“What is that feeling?” Elder Hanuman suddenly stopped moving and stretched out his stop Dragon King Bast from making a move as well. His eyes narrowed into slits as he observed Mane keenly.“What are you doing?” Dragon King Bast asked. He frowned in annoyance at the fact that someone had stopped his fun. It didn’t matter that that someone was Elder Hanuman. All he knew was that
