Karima stiffened and kept peering at the boy in the hospital building as though she hadn’t heard a word I said.I stepped closer to her, and she timidly stepped away from me.“Don’t waste your time on them. Most here won’t even dare look in your direction,” Lana said, standing beside me. “As for tha
[Xanthea]It took me about five minutes to reach Azum’s library.As I jogged closer to the library, I heard the crackling noises of the lightning coming from within.Oh no!“Zosha—”I was about to open the double door of the library, but I stopped, panting slowly.The pressure of the power that came
My eyes widened as I realized Lana could control and manipulate the plants and their growth. In some intricately complex way, her powers complemented Zosha’s, almost as if…I placed my hand over my thundering heart.It was as if Raven foresaw this event and he chose Lana as my healing partner becaus
He squatted near Lana. His expressions grew bluer as he examined her wings.“I’m sorry, princess. I wish I had time to get your permission, but they’ll be here any time,” Azum nervously glanced towards the door and then gave Lana an apologetic smile. “But your wings. They’ll need special care to hea
“Certainly not, officer. The cat was here,” Azum said calmly, gesturing to the destruction around them. “She had a power outburst, then vanished. I don’t know where she is now, but I’ll inform you if she returns.”I couldn’t understand how Azum was so calm, when I was literally trembling just thinki
[Xanthea]Luckily, my first lecture was an introductory session on botanical alchemy, which put me at ease since I already had some knowledge of the subject.The professor taught us about the primary plants used in potion-making and ended the lecture by telling us to prepare for a field trip, becaus
Vish looked at Vincent.“And you!? You used her when you needed an extra hand to complete your assignments faster. But now when she needs your help the most, all you can think about is saving your fucking ass. Go for it! You men are all the same, anyway!”“No baby. I am not like the other men. I lov
[Xanthea]I sat in the extreme corner of the cafeteria to avoid unwanted attention.Lana disappeared somewhere while I ordered my lunch. I was about to go look for her once I had fed Zosha and the kid.I put the fit-it-all on my lap and was about to whisper to Boredbones when I almost jumped at Lana
But Asher—Every inch of him was covered in them. Dense. Spreading. There wasn’t an inch of his body that hadn’t been wounded critically.How is this even possible?What the hell has he been through to end up like this?No… who did this to him?For a second, I thought it was the holy rain. Or maybe
“What’s there to understand about a grown-ass man who can’t even control his emotions? He looks like he’s a high rank celestial. Still, he lacks basic manners, etiquettes, even the rationality to fathom the consequences of his actions? He attacked the Alpha of the Infernal Pack. Do you think the Pri
[Xanthea]A sharp pulse of pain zapped through my head, every nerve and blood vessel screaming in agony. My muscles spasmed, my bones felt as if they were melting as the life force was yanked from my body and poured into my tongue — fueling the spell with raw energy.My vision blurred for a moment,
Mother had performed the spells and drawn the magic circles and symbols so many times that they became an instinct ingrained in her. And that instinct was passed down to me.I bit the tip of my finger. Ignoring Asher’s protests, I drew the recovery symbol, a symbol that accelerated healing, on his c
But I stayed calm, drawing in a deep breath while all my mother’s knowledge, experience and abilities manifested in their full force within me.I had naturally inherited 5% of my mother’s basic healer skills, which included things like instant diagnostic sight, blood analysis and manipulation, mana
[Xanthea]Blood streamed down my broken hand, merging with the holy rain as it dripped from my fingertips, pooling around my bare feet as I stood against Yandor, the masked celestial prince, and Nikolai.The celestial prince panted, his bated breaths cautious as he stared at me, a glowing white swor
‘Damage level?’ Icifer asked.‘Low,’ I said.Icifer allowed the mouse prince to pass through, who was shortly followed by Nikolai, who tried to sneak behind him, thinking it would be safe to get near my shadows now that two high rank celestials had entered.But only the two made it through.The mort
The relentless frequency of those attempts reflected his desperation. And the fact that he was here today himself could only mean one thing — he was here to rescue his granddaughter from demon lords, by any means necessary.I had a feeling he’d risk war for it if necessary, but no one understood the
[Asher]Crepuscular rays of the sun split through the sky like blades of light as dawn bled across the horizon.A pillar of light, streaked with golden scintillation, crashed down from the heavens near the mouse prince — bridging the Celestial realm to the Earthly realm. And one by one, higher celes
