In a fight, the person who struck first was always the person at a risk. Although striking first handed you the momentum, it was still risky for it could so easily be used against you – your enthusiasm. But when a person was hit first and countered spectacularly, all the momentum swung back in his or her favor. And when such a person struck, there was a mental shackle that prevented the others that remained from fully accessing their power. This scenario perfectly embodied such a situation. The Mini Giant struck first and failed. And not only had he failed, he had failed so spectacularly that the others were unsure of what to do. And Mane wasn’t going to give them time to. He had the momentum now, and his blood that boiled in rage and chaos was eager to see the blood of others spilled.
Mane made the first move. Bending his knees, he gathered power into his legs and pushed forwards, leaving a huge hole on the floor of the platform.
*Boom*
Mane streake
“I am leaving,” the Heavenly Pistol Shrimp suddenly stated and turned to walk towards the edge of the platform, to the place where the light had delivered him when he first arrived. Although there was a vast distance between the two points – the centre where they fought and the edge he sought to reach – it wouldn’t be difficult for an Ascender like him to reach it in mere seconds.“And how do you plan on doing that?” the White Fox had a scowl on her face as she spoke. Not only did they not know what this place was, they had no idea how they got here, what that strange light that had brought them here was, or how to leave. They had no information whatsoever.“I don’t know. But I will figure something out soon enough.” The Heavenly Pistol Shrimp replied as he left. He looked like he wasn’t going to change his decision. This place was surrounded by several planets and countless stars. It was surely within t
Out of the rapturous energy, a figure came flying out, unable to handle the power of the one he struck. This person was sent flying into the barrier above. And crushed into the powerful dome with a deafening boom.“Did he just push back a Mini Giant?” the Human Spiritualist asked in surprise. For the one who had been pushed back was indeed the Mini Giant!“He smartly deflected the attack of the brute by focusing on hitting the handle of his axe. That way he was able to use the power of the idiot to his advantage. The Young Supreme basically used the Mini Giant’s strength against him.” The Slender Cat was no Scholar, but his superior eyesight as a member of his race came into play here. For he saw everything that happened. At the last moment before the clash, Mane had employed a technique.“He isn’t just strong, but smart as well,” The White Fox stated, and the others nodded their heads.“Truly a brute
*Vroom*Along with the sound of a premium grade engine came a change that stunned the three who were left alive – the Slender Cat, the White Fox, and the Human Scholar. For what they were seeing was beyond anything they had ever seen before.“Yes. Tap into your true power.” Back in Mane’s mindscape Cronos had a huge smirk on as he observed the happenings of Mane’s body. He didn’t know how Mane had awakened this Glow, for it was so obsolete that from Zeus’s generation that none had awakened it. And that was because they had abandoned the way of Titans. In fact it was more repulsive to them than it was shunned. And the fact that Mane had awakened it meant that he was so clueless about his heritage that he felt no repulsion to the power of the Titans. For no Glow would awaken when it felt rejected.“What is that?” the Human Scholar thought to herself. Although she was stunned, she was still chanting her Lease. S
The White Fox was swift. Although it was larger than both Mane and the Slender Cat, its movement speed wasn’t at all inferior to Mane’s. Once it had made up its mind to attack and moved, it didn’t take it even a second to reach Mane. Her eyes gleamed coldly as the armor around her paws shifted slightly and coated her powerful claws, sharpening them even further. Once her preparations were completed, she slapped her paw towards Mane with a mighty strike.Mane could feel the powerful wind hitting his face even before the strike landed. The White Fox was terrifyingly fast. And in no time her paw was right before his face. Those claws were as large as the width of his neck, and he knew that although his titan skin was difficult to breach, the pain from the impact could be disastrous. Besides, he could be sent flying into the barrier from the impact, and just like he had done with the others, he could be on the receiving end of the barrier’s punishment. So
A thin transparent veil of light appeared before Mane’s towering figure to intercept the Triple Element Breath Attack. The powerful energy of the White Fox struggled for a while, trying its best to break the veil apart and reach its intended target, but it was to no avail. The thin veil looked weak, but its tenacity was not to be underestimated. The two battled for a couple of seconds, before the Triple Element Breath Attack was absorbed into the veil under the dumbfounded expressions of the Slender Cat and the White Fox.Mane grinned fiendishly as the Triple Element Breath Attack was rapidly reproduced in the veil and returned to its owner with the same blinding speed with which it arrived.“He can actually use that?” the Human Spiritualist was slightly surprised by the events that were unfolding before her very eyes. As a Spiritualist she understood better than the two battle beasts what had happened, and the difficulty of the skill Mane had exploit
“HAHAHAHA!”“What a kid!”“Oh Gaia, you would have loved to see what is happening now! HAHAHAHA!”Within Mane’s mindscape, the trembling with joy figure of Cronos could be seen upon his dark throne. While it was strange to see him so excited, it was even weirder when one considered that the person happier to see Mane’s changes wasn’t Mane himself but Cronos. The exuberant laughter of the Selfish Titan King was quite infectious, and if there was anyone here to witness it, they would have found themselves swept up in joy as well.Yes, Cronos was joyful. And from whence came his joy? His joy came from the Lease Mane had cast. For it reminded him a Titan who, just like him, had lost her life so many eons ago. Her name was Gaia, and for a time she was his wife. Although Titans were known mainly for their physical abilities, those weren’t their only talents. Cronos for instance, was a talented Time Ene
“Is that really your name?” Mane asked. His eyes were squinted, and the hand retreating from Night’s Kiss’s handle swiftly returned to its place of readiness. He wasn’t naïve enough to put his life in Crystal’s life just a few minutes ago because he had received a message from her. Men were crafty and women were just as nasty. Mane wasn’t going to cooperate with her just because of that. So why had he? Because he had an extra layer of assurance – a Soul Contract.A Soul Contract was a document born from the willingness of two souls – one to serve; the other to Lord. A Soul Contract was no trifling matter. The Lord of the Contract could track the movement of the Servant and also feel their every emotions. The Lord couldn’t be lied to, deceived or betrayed. And the life of the Servant was within the hands of the Lord! That meant the Servant could lose his or her life at any second if the Lord was displeased with h
“She is My Lord,” Crystal stretched out her hand, and a chain made out of Chaos was conjured from her hands and latched onto the chains binding the Wraith. The eyes of the Wraith were filled with hatred, and she stared at Crystal intently, as though she could kill her with nothing but her gaze. And why wouldn’t she hate the one who trapped her; especially when she was so close to getting away.“Is it because of her Breath?” Mane thought out loud. It was only now that he remembered seeing something like Revival listed as the Wraith’s only Breath. He hadn’t bothered much about it because he was planning to kill her first. And when he did that, he threw everything about the Wraith to the back of his mind. But how wrong he was.“It is indeed. That skill is a rare one. And the fact that she was able to gain enlightenment concerning such a Breath shows her exceptional talent as a Spiritual Being. If my Lord and Sky wishes to se
