The helpless Possessed landed with a thud after the merciless assault from the two young wielders. Mane was still on fire, and Abelard’s entire body was covered with his combat armor. Two large earth gauntlets were on Abe’s hands. One didn’t need to be hit by that to know that it would be a painful experience.
“It is strong” Abe remarked. “It is” Mane assented. Abelard had been trying to break through the Possessed jaw to reach the device, but its bones were unusually hard in that particular area.
“It isn’t easy to destroy the core of a Possessed. The areas that house the core are usually so well protected that it takes something special to break through them” 6th chimed in. Unfortunately Mane was the only one who could hear him. 6th was right. Mane was able to easily destroy the leader’s core because of Absolute
Deep within the Eastern Empire in a small kingdom whose name was unknown to most, a small group of soldiers were investigating what looked like a natural disaster. The place they currently found themselves in used to be the biggest forest in the kingdom. However everything changed a few hours ago. A few hours ago loud bangs and strange sounds were heard coming from within the forest. Strange lights that towered into the sky were also spotted during that time. The people were scared and rightly so. For who didn’t fear the unknown. Many speculated that nature was furious with the kingdom and wished that it be wiped out, but the upper management knew better. The king and the nobles weren’t as gullible as their people. The recent happenings in the Eastern Kingdom suggested that the world was going to be tossed into chaos soon. Although they wanted no part in the war that had already arrived, they had no choice. The Master had taken over the entire empire and he didn’t
“They never returned?” a man dressed in luxurious clothes had his hand under his chin in contemplation.“No my liege. We sent some men to their last known location but we didn’t find anything.” A man wearing military apparel decorated with medals was kneeling before the throne as he addressed the king.“That isn’t enough to seek an audience with me” the king furrowed his brows and stated plainly. He had known this soldier for a long time. In fact he had known him all his life. The man kneeling before him was the captain of the Kingdom’s Royal Guards and he was very loyal. He would never come to see him for something so trivial.“We didn’t find their bodies; however, we did find something else” once he was done speaking he unfurled the cloth he was holding to reveal a piece of armor in it. The armor had a crest and some strange markings on it. He ordered one of the guards to send it closer to
“So are you going to start or what” Mane was alone in his room. He had returned from his ‘field trip’ a few hours ago. He sat atop his bed in a meditative state and faced his masters in his mindscape. He wanted an explanation and he thought it would be better for him to be there in person to hear them out.“Please don’t tell me it was for my own good” Mane sat atop the rock placed right before the 5th mountain and said. “We weren’t going to” 1st replied. “We did it to protect ourselves, not you” 1st continued.“What do you mean?” Mane questioned with his expression displaying his confusion.“You know what we mean kid. You figured it out long ago didn’t you?” 6th sighedMane’s expression was different from the indifferent one he had on when he first entered the mindscape. His face was twisted in worry
“You sure are stubborn” Ray calmly cleaned his bloody hands as he addressed the man hanging in the cell by a couple of chains. This man was the assassin Mane and Abelard had captured. He was hanging in a makeshift jail cell in the basement. His face was so bloody that he could hardly be recognised. His entire body was in a similar state with a huge hole on the right side of his chest stealing the limelight.“But even the densest of metals can be melted with the right technique and a powerful flame” the only other person in the room with the exception of Ray and the assassin stated coldly. He had his arms folded as he leaned on the wall and observed the entire interrogation process. His green eyes gleamed brightly as if he wanted to see through the assassin.“You have to do more. You are a powerful spiritualist. Surely there must be a way to get the information without having to work this hard” Indra said. Ray wasn’t a Spiritual
“You really destroyed the Assassins Association?” Mane asked with his eyebrows raised in surprise. He turned to Indra for confirmation but all the god did was to shrug his shoulders. Mane returned his gaze to his father. The battle god was scratching his head in embarrassment. He was a protective father. He had to admit that he had gone overboard. Maybe it was because he hadn’t been in his son’s life all this while; or because he was pissed that his son almost died; or it was both, but it didn’t change the fact that he had killed off an entire organization. But the Brute King was a battle god stained with the blood of several thousands and millions. Included in this number were gods and goddesses and Ray didn’t regret a thing. Although he felt that he went overboard by exterminating mortals, if he was given a second chance he would make the same decision.“Well that saves me the trouble” when Ray was thinking that his son will d
“When I grow up I want to be a powerful wielder! I will attend the Wielders Academy and become an S-Grade Wielder so I can protect Mom!” a little boy jumped up and down excitedly as he announced his grand ambitions. He had beautiful black eyes and gorgeous black hair. He looked to be only a few months away from his 6th birthday.“And me too brother! And me! Protect me too!” a little girl who looked similar to the young boy shouted in protest. She puffed her cheeks in annoyance at being ignored.“How many times have I told you that girls are strong enough to fend for themselves? You should also hope to become a strong wielder so you can protect your brother” a beautiful woman in red rebuked the little girl for her words. Just like the two children she also had long black hair and eyes as dark as the night sky.“I will protect sister!” the little boy ignored his mother and proclaimed with determination tha
Mane looked at his father with a bemused expression and watched as the older man carefully folded the large cloak and placed it on the chair.“So how was it?” Mane asked with a smile. He asked his father to take on the role of the beloved hero of the Western Empire and bane to the Dark Kingdom – Hidden Cloak.The Dark God Seth was working alongside the Dark Sword. Since Seth had already revealed that he had warriors who had escaped the confines of this world’s strength system, the Dark Kingdom wouldn’t hide their power any longer. And since the Eastern Empire was yet to declare a full blown war, it was possible that they didn’t have enough personnel. They would need an awful lot of soldiers to start a war with the three other empires. That’s where the Dark Kingdom comes in. The Dark Kingdom was specialized in kidnapping and brainwashing young talents into the Dark Sword’s puppet. Alexis and Mane had anticipated that the a
“You assembled us here just for a baseless rumor?” In a large and gorgeous hall, ten people were seated in a circle. All the chairs were equal with the exception of one. This chair was taller than the others by a few feet and was the seat of the Northern Empire’s Emperor. The one who spoke was a middle aged man with black hair and a neatly trimmed beard. He sat right next to the Emperor – he was seated left of the Emperor.“Do you think the Dark Kingdom’s recent attacks have been for naught?” another middle aged man answered the question with a question. He was a handsome man with a noble air. He resembled the twins Jake and John. This was their father and Grand Marshall of the Northern Empire – Sir Blunt. Few people in the empire knew his first name and those who did didn’t dare to speak it out loud. But it wasn’t out of fear, but respect. Although he was only a Grand Marshall, his words carried weight and his power
