“Are you satisfied now?” Heimdall asked.The god whose eyes saw through untruths did not carry the grace that he usually walked with. His clothes were tattered and much of his armour had been shattered. His chest was bruised and his arms were bloodied. His great sword was several feet away from him, embedded deeply into the ground in defeat. The god of the Bifrost looked helplessly at the god who towered over him.“Why didn’t you use the Bifrost?” Poseidon wondered, asking a question of his own instead of answering what he was asked.“For one so wise, you ask a foolish question,” Heimdall replied, berating the god of the sea.“Even in this situation, you are thinking about saving time,” Poseidon muttered, his eyes radiating with praise.While Heimdall and Loki were still gods he will not hesitate to kill, he acknowledged them. They were willing to do anything to achieve their goals, even if it meant going against their own. Even now, Heimdall had not hesitated to deliver himself as a
“Are you okay kid? You seem out of sorts.”1st asked Mane who was lying in a small bed. The young Supreme was in a room that was too small to contain anything else but his bed and a study table. It had no fancy decorations, and its greatest piece of art was the lamp fixed to the wall right above his bed. Mane was currently in a battleship headed to Godking Academy. While the Academy had a direct connection to Planet Celestial and could arrive in Godking immediately, they first had to retrieve a few things from a planet close by and then return to Planet Celestial. It was a mission they had to accomplish before they return for the students. Since Mane was going to be a professor, he was qualified to tag along. Of course, his departure had only been approved because he had whined for days about it, forcing the helpless professors to yield and take him along. “I guess I still cannot believe that I am going to another academy. It seems like it was only yesterday that I was at the Wieldin
“Hahaha! What an arrogant brat!” Tunde laughed uproariously upon hearing Mane’s words.With great ease he pulled out of harm’s way, causing Mane’s attack to smash into the earth below and distort the already barren environment. Chuckles could be heard from the cloaked assassins as well. Clearly, none of them regarded Mane’s words as anything serious.“We saw the video of your fight, yet we dared do what we have done. Did you think that we will have no countermeasures for you?”“Kid. There’s something off about your movements.” 1st commented.“Indeed. You seem disoriented.” 3rd chimed in.“I see. That thing didn’t merely teleport me here. It also messed with my senses. It would have been fine if I wasn’t a Scholar, but since I am, my heightened senses ended up becoming a weakness for me.” Mane analysed calmly.It had been his misconception to believe that these assassins had come for his head so carelessly. Firstly, they had infiltrated the spacecraft he was on, something that could no
The first assassin was sent flying by the powerful attack, but he did not fall. Gently swaying and flipping mid-air, he landed quite stably and dashed forward again. His colleagues cared not for his well doing either, for they dove at Mane without a care for him.“That armour…” Mane’s eyes flashed brightly.Even without True Eyes, he could still see. When he struck the assassin, the breastplate on the latter’s chest had absorbed his attack entirely. While it had dimmed in response to this, proving that it would not be capable of taking such an attack for an unlimited number of times, it seemed sturdy enough to accept a few more. They had really come prepared.*Whoosh*Mane ducked as the dagger of one of the assassin’s flew above his head and headed into the distance; however, as though to show off their chemistry, there was another assassin within that path who caught hold of the dagger and savagely stabbed it towards the Supreme.Mane took a deep breath and pulled his arm behind him.
“That was…the Universe Will?” Tunde’s eyes were opened wide in surprise when he understood who it was that had interfered. To think that the Supreme could summon the Universe Will! It had appeared suddenly and disappeared swiftly, but the staff that was embedded in the ground was proof that it had indeed been here!Mane smiled grimly as he slowly rose to his feet. His skin was becoming more purple, and blood was flowing freely out of his wounds and his orifices. He could hear his masters and Hildegarde screaming his name, but he could hear none of them now. His mind was filled with a sentence he had kept with him since the Dreamscape.“Beware of the Universe Will for it is not your ally.”Mane understood this, and that was why he had chosen to break into the Nobility Realm in a place where the eyes of the True Universe’s Will never reached. Well, that hadn’t exactly worked out as he planned it to, for the Universe Will had found out anyway and had announced his presence to the world a
"Grab that bastard!" There was commotion in the market square as a hooded figure jumped over a table filled with apples and sprinted towards the exit of the market square. The shout came from one of the guards who immediately proceeded to chase the figure. The running figure was seemed calm and composed as he continued to run towards the exit that had been blockaded and was chock-full of guards. The guard who shouted for his arrest was the captain of the royal guards. An elite wielder with mastery over the earth element and with a strength 'glow'.Wielders were individuals who had awakened their bloodlines and had gained a certain amount of control over an element. The captain had awakened a rank nine bloodline, a superior rank bloodline. The bloodline he awakened was that of the dark lion, a legendary creature that caused earthquakes on a whim. The glow he inherited was a strengthening glow. A glow is an ability that is obtained upon awakening one's bloodline
Mane was currently on the second level of the school library. It had been a week since he was admitted. Classes were great and studies were fine. Since all the first years were mostly six year olds, the first three years of school was aimed at increasing their intelligence. Actual combat training and fieldwork would begin in their 4th year.Mane was reading a book on Basic Strategies for Beginners. However he was not alone. Two 6 year olds sat across Mane's table. These six year olds were Mane's roommates. They shared the same looks and were identical twins. They were talking about the hottest topic in the kingdom- the death of Baron Coal. "It's a surprise that the Baron was killed. I mean with his intelligence and protection from the king, how could this happen", one of the six year olds stated while brushing his brown hair away from his face.Mane looked at the boy who asked the question- John- as one would a dim-witted person.
Mane looked at the towering mountains before him and felt strangely at peace. He walked forward and sat upon a chair-shaped rock which oddly enough, was placed before the 5th mountain. He sat there for about 5 minutes listening to their whispers. He did not understand the language they spoke but he could make out some common words- Sam, hunter, gods, emperor, the eternal, asteroth and ushaki. He had no idea how he could understand those words so he reckoned that they wanted him to hear just that. Mane was a patient boy. He waited until the voices died down before he spoke. "I want to ask a question". For about 30 seconds there was no reply but Mane knew they heard and understood him so he did not speak out again. "Hehe, he wants to ask a question", spoke the voice from the 6th mountain. "Should we allow him", spoke the voice from the 9th mountain. "He should be allowed. For he is us and we are him", this time it was the voice from the 3rd mountain that spoke. Mane looked at the moun
