Accompanying the roar of the Monkey Queen was a huge change in her aura. The intimidation her aura carried grew much greater, and the earth armor she wore became shinier. The cannons on her shoulder were engulfed by a golden yellow light, and when the light receded they had grown bigger and a tad longer.
The earth drones also underwent a change. Two more wings grew on each drone, and they became at least three times faster than before. A golden light appeared in her palms, and a long beautiful golden rod was formed. The weapon looked dense and highly destructive. It had a different feel to it – the rod. It didn’t feel like something that had been fashioned right this minute, but a weapon that could be summoned at any time. After all, both Mane and the Monkey Queen had the same level of proficiency with earth, and Mane knew that to do something like this was highly improbable. To create a weapon that could give off such an aura comparable to a high grade weapon was
As if a trigger had been pulled or a wheel cap turned, countless light fragments flew to Mane and drowned his entire figure in light. Several small explosions rang out as Mane was baptized in the light of the tree that never went out. Along with his baptism came the dimming of the light in the cave as the Light Tree slowly gave up its essence, much to the alarm and dismay of the Emerald Crystal Monkey Queen.*Roar!*Unleashing a loud roar filled with fear and anxiety, she rushed towards Mane, the two drones that surrounded her moving even faster than she was. She disregarded her huge size and darted towards the Supreme, not worrying about the fact that her actions were causing the cave to become more unstable or that she was bumping into the ceiling so many times. Her goal was to get to the one who wanted to rob them off their means of growth.“Prideful Sword: Dance of the Half-Moon”A calm voice contrary to the anxious state of the Monkey Que
There were three people on their way out of Dark Valley. Of the three, only two rode mounts. The other followed on foot. Yet it effortlessly kept up with them. The three were a dashing teenage boy, a beautiful teenage girl, and a giant Crystal Monkey. In front of the group of three was a floating flower that lit up their way and gave them an idea of where to go.“We are almost out,” Mane exhaled a small breath of air as he spoke.“Yes,” Lily smiled gracefully and nodded her head.*Roar*Silver who was walking right behind them roared in excitement. He had been trying to leave Dark Valley for a very long time. However, he had no idea where the entrance of the valley was since he was born here. So he had never been able to leave. Now he could so it was natural that he was so excited.As they neared the entrance of the Dark Valley Mane was filled with a bit of relief – relief born from knowing that they had accomplished t
Camila struggled to shake her mind awake. She was a veteran warrior of the Barbarian race and a lover of battles. She had been through many difficult situations, and had come out of all of them a survivor. This situation was no different. Her experience proved a vital resource as she quickly made the wisest decision.“Attack now! Forget capturing him. Kill him!” Camila ordered, and the eyes of the Barbarians somehow became even redder. They were already harboring hatred for this human boy who had not only kept them waiting, but had indirectly caused the death of several members of their race. Twelve of them rushed towards Mane with a recklessness that was born from their pent up frustrations. All of a sudden the boy who had felled their colleague with nothing but a two word command was not so threatening. Mane looked expressionlessly at the group of barbarians jumping at him; all manner of weapons held in their hands. Of the 12, only two were Nightma
Mane’s gentle whisper was an edict to Edict; an order to the energy that embodied order. Streams of Edict rushed into his body at his command. Outer energy that was escaping from the dead Barbarians merged into the energy of the surroundings and filled Mane’s body speedily. Mane allowed himself to be filled with Edict. Like a withered branch soaking in the pleasant waters of the river of life, Mane basked in the glow of power that dominated the world. Every fiber of his being – from his bones to his muscles; from his heart and blood vessels to his organs and every single tissue; from his every single one of his tendons to his ligaments – was filled with power. His eyes flashed brightly as he basked in the glow of being filled once again and he finally, for the first time since the fight had begun, unsheathed his twin blades.“Camila,” the three leaders of the now obliterated party of 15 were together once again. They made the decision to se
“Are you alright, Camila?” Nasir was quick to move to the side of his leader. Seeing her figure covered entirely in dust and dust alone, and not wounds, made him a much more relieved man. But he still asked of her wellbeing out of courtesy.“I’m fine,” Camila smirked and replied. She gently patted the dust off her alluring figure. Although she was covered in dirt and grime, she didn’t lose her appeal in any way. The short shorts she wore had been scrapped during her floor roll, and it had become even shorter with a few small holes displaying her fair thighs. Her skimpy top wasn’t spared either. The lower bottom of the shirt and a bit off its top had been torn, revealing a bit of the two fair mounds that were meant to be hidden. Nasir couldn’t help but be distracted by the beautiful Barbarian woman before him, even though he knew that it wasn’t the time to lose his concentration.Camila gently tugged at her axe, and
*Bang*The large head that was covered all over in shaggy hair rolled on the ground a few times.Camila was right in her analysis of Absolute Darkness. Her timing and everything else was spot on. The only thing she couldn’t quite figure out was its cooldown, but as Nasir had put it so succinctly before his head was forced to part ways with his body and tasked to fend for itself – a task which the copious amount of blood that was streaming out of the decapitated head would suggest it failed at – the cooldown didn’t matter if they got their timing right. In truth, if Mane didn’t have other elements he could use and was only a Darkness User, he may have been in some trouble from her analysis. Some trouble, but not enough to see him join the souls of the departed.And that was because Camila and Nasir had no idea about Breaths. They didn’t know that Mane didn’t only have Absolute Darkness, but a Darkness Element Breath as we
“I’ve seen something like this before,” Hildegarde who was right next to Mane had a struggling expression on her face as she tried to recall where she had seen this. Luckily her struggles didn’t go on for long. For Mane came to her aid immediately.“You saw them in my memories,” Mane had an unsightly expression on his face as he spoke. When he and Hildegarde had been bonded together during their transfer, she got to see his memories. There were some he hid from her, and some he showed to her. His first fight with the Possessed, when he and Abe had to deal with it after Abe’s breakthrough, was amongst those memories that she had been allowed to see.“Ah yes,” Hildegarde exclaimed in remembrance. However, a huge frown framed her face when she remembered the actual details of that memory. She remembered that Mane and his friend had only been able to kill that undead creature by destroying its core. And that core had be
*Bang**Bang**Bang**Bang*In less than a second both had exchanged a flurry of blows. Camila’s giant axe had crashed into Mane’s twin heavy swords so many times that both set of weapons had developed feelings of rivalry and comradery at the same time.Mane’s red eyes flashed strongly like the blazing coals of a fiery smelt. Along with the bellow of thunder he pierced Night’s Kiss towards Camila. As he did he didn’t forget to utilise Night Mare. The other heavy sword gathered lightning upon its blade and concentrated the destructive element wielded by Zeus and Thor onto its tip.*Bang*Unsurprisingly, Camila was able to deflect Night’s Kiss blade without any issue. Her huge axe span around her like an ever present shield. Like the shield of Aegis no matter which part Mane struck, she was protected. Her eyes were still lifeless, yet there was a fire that burned within its depths that tried to bore i
