Frederick made his way underground quickly. He descended into a room with walls made entirely of strange metals that were as strong as Mid-Level Artefacts. The underground bunker was largely empty. For the only things in the room were a set of pitch black armor coupled with a slender sword and large screen that was embedded in a section of the wall. Before the screen was a comfortable looking chair and some wires.
Frederick glanced briefly at the armor and mumbled, “let us hope it doesn’t come to that,” before setting in the chair he had made for himself only a few weeks ago – which was also a Mid-Level Artefact. Once he was settled he collected the wires and connected them to a few ports on the chair to establish a connection with it. For this simple looking chair was the only thing that could link Frederick to the screen before him. It was the control centre for the screen and everything displayed on the screen was born from the ‘brain’ o
“They aren’t weak,” Breaker slowly stated, and Rage nodded his head in reply.“Even we may lose our lives here if we fail,” Rage admitted, and although Breaker didn’t want to agree, the current circumstances showed that Rage was right.They were High Level Divine Servants so they didn’t fear death. The issue was that their master had informed them that this mission was a very important one. And that it was one that they had to finish successfully. But now not only was Breaker injured, Lina was also dead. Granted she was a High Level Servant just like them. But she was one of Seth’s favorites. She will certainly live, for her lives hadn’t been exhausted yet. But they would be punished for their carelessness in causing her to die. If they had returned to their master first, they may have been pardoned since the Dark God would have assumed that they protected her until their deaths. But Lina went first, so they were in
Abe’s brown eyes were engulfed by a golden light and an added grace found him. Although his eyes didn’t actually change color, the golden film of light that acted as a lens over them was beautiful. With that lens Abe could see so much more. And he was able to see past the barrier of flesh and peer into bones, sinew and veins.“It didn’t heal,” Abe smirked silently to himself. For his eyes saw that though Breaker said he was fine, he wasn’t completely fine. The pill was an effective one. For it dulled Breaker’s pain greatly and provided something like a graft over the broken ribs to hold them together. Although the bones were being mended, the process wasn’t as fast as Breaker made Rage believe. The muscles around the area weren’t in the best shape either. They were torn and punctured in many areas, and though they were healing faster than the bones were, it was going to take several hours before any major progress would be
“Tear it down now!” Rage screamed as his face contorted into something much more unpleasant than it usually was. His eyes grew redder in anxiety and anger as his strength went past his previous limits. His power was like a massive flood, and it washed over the two who were facing him, trapped within a construct of their own making.“We would struggle now,” Aegeus observed Rage’s changes and understood that things were going to get much harder.The burn on Rage’s chest, which he had sustained from Selina and Aegeus’s combination strike was still there. And the smell of burnt flesh did fill the nostrils of him and Selina. There was a large gush on Rage’s back from Abe’s strike as well. Although both attacks were powerful enough to obliterate any average 8th Stage Noble, Rage had only sustained superficial damage. This was testament to how strong he was. However, the fact that his injuries were still the sam
Abe’s leg crashed into the large hammer with great power. A loud sound, not too dissimilar to the rumbling engine of a freight train, rang across the field, and a loud snap accompanied Abe’s strike.*Crack*Abe’s first reaction was to look at the hammer he had smashed into, thinking that he may have introduced a new crack into the High Grade Weapon. He found it a bit unbelievable that his leg would possess such power, but what could it possibly be? However upon giving the hammer a simple glance Abe realised that it was just as strong as it was before the fight started. It couldn’t be the hammer he concluded. And then he didn’t know why, maybe it was due to his strong instincts, but Abe’s eyes travelled to Breaker’s foot which was trapped in the hole, and his eyes automatically lit up. For Breaker’s foot was twisted unnaturally. Abe’s golden eyes flashed brightly as his vision travelled past Breaker’s skin to o
Abe was still keeping an eye Breaker with great intensity. There had been no major changes. However, the black aura around him was growing stronger. The man had been too quiet for a while. Suddenly Breaker disappeared from his position. Abe’s danger senses immediately went crazy, and he heard a loud ringing in his head. Although he had been watching Breaker, the assassin’s speed took him by great surprise.Before he knew what was happening, Breaker had appeared to his side. And the little assassin’s hammer was heading straight for Abe’s ribs. The dark energy that coated the hammer was so menacing that Abe’s earth armor was being corroded even before the weapon got to him.Abe instinctively placed his sword to his left in a guarded position. A bright golden light engulfed his blade as the earth elements came to the young prince’s aid. He reflexively resorted to a technique he didn’t like to rely on, much like the one who passed
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
