Blistering Cheetah was the first to get there. He avoided the assault of two Mythic Classes and lashed at the Shadow Leopard with a powerful kick. He knew he wasn’t strong enough to deal with the creature alone. So all he wanted to do was to hold it off until support arrived.
*Whoosh*
The Shadow Leopard danced midair and avoided Blistering Cheetah’s kick. Although the speed of that kick was inhumane, the Shadow Leopard had very little problem evading it. It dived beyond Blistering Cheetah and pulled the head off another Mythic Class. The creature turned to dust immediately and was inhaled into the belly of the Shadow Leopard.
Blistering Cheetah’s eyes flashed with a cruel light, and the Predator turned and slashed at the Shadow Leopard with deadly precision. This time, the beast didn’t dare to be careless. It jumped away from Blistering Cheetah with some weariness, abandoning the other Mythic Class it was going for.
Suddenly, an in
*Boom**Clank**Bang*Several stomping and clanking sounds filled the battlefield. Since there were only experts and powerful Magical Beasts left fighting, even a second was enough to determine the outcome of a fight. Almost all the High Class Magical Beasts had been slain, and of the Predators, only Arthur, Frowning Tiger, Rash Tiger, Domineering Tiger and Beast Tiger were left standing. The rest were either injured and had retreated, or dead with the ability to raise a weapon no more.The dual wielding swordsman, Frowning Tiger, crossed his swords before him to block the strike of a large Mythic Class Magical Beast.*Boom*The powerful blow sent him skidding across the battlefield, and he only came to a stop after travelling for over 50 meters. Once he could control himself again, he jumped out of the way like he was avoiding a plague.*Boom*A powerful paw descended on the ground where Frowning Tiger stood previously, and it
“Of course. When it comes to foresight and intelligence, none of you can compare to Frowning Tiger,” Rash Tiger smiled triumphantly and gloated. His expression was akin to one who was directly praised for doing some incredible deed, and Beastly Tiger who saw this was annoyed.“Why are you boasting like that praise was directed towards you? Is he your student? Are you the one who trained him?”Beastly Tiger growled in his menacing voice.“No,” Rash Tiger shook his head in reply. “But I wonder who it was that said that me and Frowning Tiger do everything together,” Rash Tiger smacked his lips and remarked shamelessly. Beastly Tiger almost spat a mouthful of blood in anger. He didn’t think that Rash Tiger would return his words to him and use it as a means to defend his behavior.Unlike Beastly Tiger, Domineering Tiger smiled slightly as he listened to the two bicker with each other. This had always been
The mighty figure that induced dread in them all was a cat-like creature. It was the largest creature that had shown itself yet, towering over 30 feet with jet black fur – or rather it was fair to call its fur scales. For its ‘fur’ wasn’t fur anymore. They had mutated into large black scales that covered its entire body. Three large claws extended from each of its huge paws, and its large mouth served as the host to several large and powerful teeth. Although it was so massive, its movement was fluid and wasn’t cumbersome. Sure the earth shook because of its massive weight, but the actual creature wasn’t slow and sluggish like one would expect from such a behemoth. Its confident stride, added to its wicked ‘grin’, struck fear into the hearts of the humans left alive to witness its entry.“So this is a Pseudo Legendary Class Magical Beast,” Samoa gritted his teeth as sweat run down his back and face profusely. His body
“Now do you have any qualms about us teaming up,” Rash Tiger turned to Beastly Tiger and said. The man tried to smile, but all that could be seen was an ugly grin etched across his face. It was clear that the pressure that the Pseudo Legendary Class Magical Beast was radiating affected him greatly. Although he wasn’t shaking in fear, his cells screamed in frustration as they were subjected to power they had never felt before.“Wanna fight,” Beastly Tiger was drenched in sweat from the aura that was locked onto him. The scariest thing was that he wasn’t the one the beast was paying attention to. But just standing before the dastardly creature was stressful. It was no walk in the park to keep his cool whilst looking at its magnificent frame.“I don’t think this is the time for petty squabbles,” Domineering Tiger had a look of pure concentration on his face as he tried to push down the feeling of unease that had never
The large cat kicked back viciously with its wounded paw. The former laziness in its eyes was wiped away by the piercing pain it felt. Since it transcended its form and became a Pseudo Legendary Class Magical Beast, this was the first time it had been injured. And it lost an entire toe too.The speed of the kick was unlike any of its attacks so far, consolidating Domineering Tiger’s claims that the beast was toying with Arthur. Now that it was angry, it struck with full force, at full speed.Arthur didn’t waver seeing the large paw hurtling towards him like a lock-on torpedo. If it was before, he wouldn’t have dared take this strike, even if he had an extra life. But his fury had granted him unprecedented power, and he wasn’t going to put it to waste. Readjusting his stance from attack to defense, he used the large sword as a shield and placed it before himself.*Boom*A deafening sound was produced when the beast’s paw struc
“Thank you Sir. You saved my life.” Arthur quickly expressed his thanks to Wandering Cheetah for his help. Although he had never really seen Wandering Cheetah or interacted with him before, he had heard the famous story of the genius who fell.“It’s nothing,” Wandering Cheetah replied with a wry smile on his handsome face. Although Arthur tried to hide it, Wandering Cheetah still saw the strange gaze the boy directed at him before he quickly regained his composure. After being stared at in the particular way for so many years, he was used to it. It was a look of curiosity, pity and a bit of disappointment. Curiosity concerning the one who was called a genius years ago and whether he truly was what they said he was. Pity upon realizing that he had truly not lived up to expectations, and disappointment because a talent had missed the chance to shine.Now he could even tell when someone looked at him with that gaze. No matter where it came fr
Frowning Tiger crossed his swords to serve as a guard, as the gigantic paw of the excited Pseudo Legendary Class Magical Beast descended upon him. He didn’t have the speed of a Cheetah to evade the blow, and he didn’t have the flexibility of a Mongoose to narrowly avoid it either. He couldn’t conceal himself like a Snake so that the damned beast wouldn’t be able to find him. He was a Tiger. He wasn’t the strongest of the bunch, but his control was so great that he always knew just how much he needed to attack, and defend.*Bang*The power behind the beasts paw wasn’t trivial, and Frowning Tiger could finally experience for himself what Arthur had endured for several minutes before he lost Durandal. He was sent flying several metres back, but his exceptional control of his body allowed him to stabilize himself midair, and land on his feet, potentially avoiding a nasty fall.*Cough*Although he blocked the attack, it wasn
*Bang*The large head of the beast fell down with a thud. There was silence for a while as everyone spectating, from Samoa and the fighters on the sidelines to the Predators on the battlefield, all took a while to understand what had just happened. They were quiet for several seconds, their brains processing what had just occurred, and then they exploded into cheers.“YEAH!!!”The thunderous shouts of the people shook the ground. Men who had never been touchy jumped up in joy and hugged each other. Soldiers who boasted of never shedding tears couldn’t stop the waterfall that fell down their eyes. Ecstasy filled the hearts of all who were on the battlefield. Spectators and warriors alike were all happy with the results. And soon the names of the warriors who took down the beast were screamed out by the spectating fighters.“Durandal!”“Durandal!”“Durandal!”“Head Fan!”
“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
