“That’s the last one,” Mane stated as he tossed a humanoid creature onto the ground. This creature was shaped like a human. It had arms and legs and even a face. However its arms were longer than the average human’s, and its fingers held sharp and pointy claws. The ugly beast was stockier than an average human but shorter. The creature was green with very thick skin, and had pointy ears. Its eyes were the same color as its skin, green, and its teeth that were exposed from its open mouth were sharp and pointy. This creature was called a Green Goblin.
Once the dead goblin fell onto the ground its body was engulfed in crimson flames that swallowed it whole. The flames lit up the dark environment, and several other burnt up corpses could be seen littered all around the place. The corpse of the beast was quite tough, for it took more than three seconds for it to burn up completely. And this was a magnificent feat considering that Mane’s flames couldn&
Mane and Lily rode their Red Maned Horses side by side. Naturally because of Mane’s ability to sense everything around him once they were within 500 meters, he was able to engage in casual conversation with Lily without worrying too much about being caught unaware by a sneaky beast. The light from their second Light Grass illuminated their surroundings and allowed them to see what was ahead of them and around them. They came across a lot of goblins, and so far they had been able to handle them fairly easily. Mane mostly burned the goblins they came across with his father’s technique, Fire Phoenix Flames. He was basically using them to train his fire proficiency. Of all his elements, Earth was the one with which he had the highest understanding, and although the elements weren’t skills, one’s level of elemental mastery was measured like one measured skills: Beginner Level, Intermediate Level, Mastery Level and Full Mastery Level. Earth and Water were the only
“To think that we would meet a Crystal Monkey here,” Mane smiled bitterly and said. Unlike Lily he still had his blades sheathed. Which meant that he didn’t feel that the Crystal Monkey was life threatening.“I have never seen one before. And I have been to several worlds.” Hildegarde stated as she admired the beautiful beast. Although the Crystal Monkey definitely wasn’t here to make friends with them or invite them over for tea, Hildegarde was gazing at the creature with a slightly infatuated look on her face.“Wish you could take it with you?” Mane smiled and teased.“Actually, yes,” Hildegarde smirked and replied. Her reply almost had Mane laughing, but ultimately the presence of Lily was enough of a reminder that he was not alone here. He didn’t want to explain why he was laughing all of a sudden like a crazy person. It wasn’t like he could use Lock-On for that.Crystal Monkeys w
*Bang**Bang**Bang*“I can’t believe it,” Lily still had her sword in her hand, but she wasn’t using it. And it didn’t look like she would have to. She was stroking the mane of her mount, Skimpy. Her eyes were glued to the figures charging at each other from within the darkness. The two were like bright flickering lights, bringing warmth to this otherwise dark space. They clashed over and over again, neither really gaining an advantage over the other.Lily wasn’t fond of fights but what was happening before her was unbelievable to the Elemental Princess. And it was because she could feel Mane’s aura as he fought with the Crystal Monkey – barehanded!“How is he able to face that beast with his strength only at the 1st Stage of the Profound Realm?” Lily wondered. That was what she found unbelievable. She couldn’t accurately judge the strength of the Crystal Monkey because s
The large pearl-like eyes of the Crystal Monkey were slightly dazed. However, once it felt its newfound strength coursing through its veins it was excitement that filled its being.*Roar*It gave a loud roar filled with elation as the power of an 8th Stage Earth Realmer was fully unveiled. Its body trembled slightly with excitement and the cracks that Mane had inflicted on its chest began to heal. It still lay on the ground, but its large eyes were now glued to the human who stood on its chest. This usually demeaning action didn’t seem to annoy the Crystal Monkey. For it only looked at Mane with gratitude and with a bit of curiosity.“What an interesting fellow,” Mane was astonished by what had just occurred. He used Devour to suck out the Edict from the earth around them and transferred it to the Crystal Monkey, hoping that it would aid in its recoveries. After all, it was a Pseudo Legendary Class Magical Beast. A beast of that leve
“We are here,” a group of 15 men and women were at the entrance to the Dark Valley. Most of them wore nothing but trunks and small top with weapons of varying sizes and types hanging on their backs or strapped to their waists. Some had swords strapped to their waists. There were light sword users and heavy sword users. There was even a woman with a zweihander strapped to her back. There were also people with axes and hammers. There were also about two of them who had spears clinging to their backs, and two more with clubs made from pure metal. Yet the one thing they shared in common was their auras. Each of them had the aura of a powerhouse. Some had auras denser than the others, but of all of those here none was weaker than a Pseudo Nightmare!Of the fifteen, 5 were at the High Level of the Pseudo Nightmare Realm. Another 5 were at the Peak of the Pseudo Nightmare Realm. And the last five people were at the Nightmare Realm! Of the five who were at the Nightmare R
“Are you sure it was okay to let them go?” a man clad from head to toe in a large black cloak spoke in a raspy voice that showed signs of ‘un-use’. As if he wasn’t pleased with the way his voice sounded, he cleared his throat several times. The man was tall and had a sword strapped to his waist. He wasn’t alone, and his words weren’t meant for himself. Next to him was another person also fully covered in a black cloak. He was referring to an ambush that they had set up. They ordered some of their top class teams to tail and intercept a group of Barbarians and whittle down their numbers. And the mission had gone off without a hitch. However, now he wondered if it was the right thing to do when they could have just killed off the entire group.“Yes,” the person next to the tall man replied. This person was different from the man. For not only was she a woman, she was an old woman. Her back was slightly bent and her hunched f
Two races had their eyes on one person. In fact, three races did, if one counted the race Ivor the Tattler belonged to. But of the three only one had good intentions towards this person. The others either wanted to kill or capture him. For both the first option was more welcoming. The second will only be chosen if there was no choice. But the person who was on the radar of the Three Great Races had no idea that he was in their line of sight. Neither did he know that there were members of one of these races waiting for him outside the Dark Valley. Right now he had one mission and one mission alone: to find the Revival Grass.Normally a search like that would have taken him quite a while. And Mane had already prepared himself to actively search for the plant even if it took him months to find it. But his task had been made much easier. And the reason for this was the giant Ape that travelled with them now.The ape was about 11 meters tall at the very least when it stood
The cave was much larger than it looked on the outside. Mane and Lily had been walking for a good part of half an hour, yet there were still no signs of the beast or the Revival Grass stalks. Not only was the cave long, it was wide and tall. For even the Crystal Monkey that was as several times bigger than the biggest human being in the world and stood at a height of over 10 feet tall when stooped was able to comfortably walk upright in the cave.“This is no cave. It’s like a tunnel.” Hildegarde who was seated on Mane’s shoulder grumbled as though she was the one doing the walking. Mane smiled wryly when he heard her words. Tunnels were artificial. They were either made by large creatures with the capability to dig so well and so deep that the end products were nothing short of incredible, or they were made by man. But this wasn’t made by either. It was a natural landmark, and so it was a cave. But it was so abnormally large that anyone who used
“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
