The ground shook, and the wind howled as Abe moved with great ferocity towards Breaker. The mighty roar of the Wyvern carried great spiritual pressure, and Breaker who was faced with its assault was shaken for a brief period. For the Wyvern’s scream bored directly into his mind and invaded his soul. For that brief moment, Breaker felt himself shackled, trapped and alone. A great anxiety gripped his soul, and his mind travelled to a time he didn’t want to remember.
“You did all that for power, not for me” A beautiful woman in a white gown appeared before Breaker in his mindscape. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her nose reddened in sorrow. Her feet and hands were stained with blood. And there was a huge, gaping hole in her chest. When Breaker saw her his face was filled with terror and grief. And he instinctively moved back.
“Stay back! Don’t come any closer!” he screamed. He constantly backtracked as he spoke. His eagernes
“Return,” Abe stated, and the Wyvern that moved with him became a midst that filled his right arm. On his scaled right arm appeared the marking of a Wyvern with its mouth wide open. The drawing light up, and Abe’s right hand was engulfed by a great red light much deeper than the scales that concealed his human frame. Abe pulled his arm back with great force like a bowstring. Great power was gathered into his curled up fist as his speed greatly increased. And like a flash of light he disappeared, leaving behind nothing but an afterimage.“You did this!” Breaker returned to the real world with the anger he had racked up in his mindscape. He may be deranged, but he knew that he didn’t enter his mindscape willingly. This was because since his power up he had been fighting himself to prevent his mind from returning to that particular place. But his defenses had been broken by the Wyvern’s roar. He understood that the spiritual pressure beh
Abe stared expressionlessly at the fallen Breaker. The dark aura that surrounded the Dark God’s Divine Servant was no more. The little assassin was severely battered. His chest was a mess, and several of his ribs were broken. His heart had been completely obliterated, and if it wasn’t because of his special constitution, he would have long given up the ghost.“I assume we will meet again?” Abe looked into Breaker’s rapidly dimming eyes and said. Breaker couldn’t say anything, but he could still hear what Abe was saying – faintly. Abe’s words alarmed him somewhat. For he spoke as one who knew that Breaker and the others had extra lives.“Well, you cannot answer anyway. I want you to send a message to your master for me. Tell the Dark God that the Silver Wolves will not forget this. When our pack is complete and our power mature, he will feel the ferocity of our roar.” Abe stated with a stern expression before d
Ray stood calmly amidst the dark storm that threatened to swallow Zandor. His eyes were without a trace of fear and his aura was still calm. He slightly squinted his eyes at Seth’s crazed remark, but he didn’t dwell on it for long. For Seth to be this confident meant that there was something that the Dark God was relying on. But he couldn’t find anything out of the ordinary. So he might as well focus on the task at hand.“I will serve no one,” Ray stated defiantly as his aura was unveiled. Without any reservations he activated his Fire Domain, reminding the universe of what he was – a Fire King. The beast that lay hidden was revealed. The chains that kept the monster within tamed were shaken off, and the power that was usually confined reminded Zandor that although the Brute King belonged here, he still was a massive threat.A power so vast that what was revealed during the slaughter of the Assassins Organisation looked mediocre quic
Ray’s expression was extremely unpleasant. As an Olympian, his power was tied to himself. No matter how good a weapon was, it wouldn’t help him much. Even though he was an expert with the sword due to his ancestry, it wouldn’t improve his power much. The same went for many other gods. The situation changes when a god is paired with an Attribute Artefact that shared in his attribute. But Attribute Weapons were rare. Only a few had appeared in the True Universe, and each of them was created due to luck. Cronos’s Clock of Eternity for instance was created not based on skill, but on luck. For though the creators were talented, never in their wildest dreams had they envisioned a Time Attribute Weapon would be born from their hands. Ray had searched the True Universe for such a weapon after realizing that his growth was slowing down. And though he stopped his search after Alexis got pregnant, he had searched pretty much every great ruin he could find but to no avai
“Get out of my way,” Seth gritted his teeth in anger as he swung the Dark Sword. The powerful artefact hummed dully as its figure blurred in the darkness that engulfed it. With great power it sent a thin but very sharp sword light flying at Ray.“You’re not the only one who can use a weapon” Ray said in disdain. The avatar he summoned seemed to share in his disdain, for it swung the large claymore it held towards Seth with great precision. And a burning sword light intercepted the dark sword light.*Bang*Both sword lights were strong, and neither could gain the upper hand, leading to each cancelling the other out. Seth’s expression was very ugly upon seeing this. The dark sword light was a manifestation of both his and the Dark Sword’s power. Yet together they couldn’t overwhelm Ray.“You are not going anywhere,” Ray declared before launching several attacks, intent on keeping Seth grounded.
“What if all this while we have been wrong? What if Seth isn’t the most eccentric person in the Universe, but the most logical?” Alexis asked Ray and Butler Fin once. What if the Dark God did the things he did because he had to do them, not because he wanted to?“What if the reason why Seth is so strong is because the mortals do not know him, neither do they understand him?”Alexis’s words had remained with Ray long after she left. He was left pondering this exact issue. Every god had a weakness, and when that weakness was worked upon, their godhead could be temporarily weakened, allowing a Scholar to identify and destroy it. For Fire Gods like himself, water was a great weakness. For Earth Gods, fire was their bane and for Lightning Gods like Zeus, earth was a great suppressor. Every element had its weakness. Seth was the only Dark God, but many believed that his weakness was light. It wasn’t that hard to figure out, for that
As the two warred, Alexis spoke.“The Brute King may be able to hold the Dark God back, but he isn’t the permanent solution to Zandor’s woes. He cannot stop the Dark God from coming over and over again.”“But you can help. If you’re wondering how, you already completed the first part by listening to me. The Dark God draws his power from fear. And he does this best by hiding in the shadows. But now you know his name, so the shadows of Zandor are no longer under his control.”“The second part is a bit harder. I need you to denounce the Dark God”“Absolute Queen!” Seth’s raging voice resounded from within the dark domain, followed by loud explosions and flashing lights. His voice brought fear into the hearts of many. For the power that was commanded by his voice alone was no joke.“If any of you dares denounce me, I will…” Seth angrily exclaimed. But he was cut
*Bang*Ray was still giving Seth a hard time, and the Dark God was mainly relying on the Dark Sword to fend off the Brute Kings volley of attacks. Seth’s greatest weapon was his mind, but with him shaken and disoriented, he couldn’t even rely on his brain for comfort. A Scholar was useless without his or her ability to think. And Seth was pretty useless right now. With his mind feeding off the distraction the Absolute Queen had fed him, Seth found it hard to focus on the immediate threat before him.The furiously attacking Ray suddenly took a huge step back, and his avatar stepped back with him. He pulled back his forearm and gathered power into it, with his avatar mirroring his actions. For the avatar threw its arm – the arm wielding the fire pitchfork – back with the same kind of eagerness Ray was displaying. With a defiant roar Ray threw out his favorite technique and showed why he was called one of the youngest genius gods alive. For h
