“Curses! You disgusting filth! How could you!” the Serpent roared. It emanated stream after stream of powerful spirit energy, trying to destroy the rune. The rune Zephyr contended with, carried an aura of mystery and intrigue. It was as though it held a powerful secret. It was both good and evil. The more Zephyr observed it, the more it looked to be more powerful than the Dragon Lizard’s own rune.A loud boom shook the realm as the Winged Serpent’s energy touched the rune. A great shockwave of power burst out from it, sending out a stream of electricity towards the Serpent. “Electricity? How did you achieve this?!” the Serpent said, staring warily at the electricity. As a spirit, such attacks would be decimating.The Dragon Lizard had helped Zephyr a great deal. It knew it could not defeat the Serpent on its own, it also knew Zephyr was much on the same boat as it. Had they continued on, the Serpent would have won the both of them either way. Dragon Lizards are not fond of humans, bu
Zephyr’s third scale was not as strong as the others, due to it being a gift of sorts. Zephyr slowly closed his eyes, and assessed his well-being. He realized he had been severely injured. He was suffering from great internal bleeding, and many of his veins had been ruptured. If it were not for The Way of the Dragon, his body would have given up earlier.Without the threat of either the Dragon Lizard or Winged Serpent, it was the best time for Zephyr to train himself. As he controlled his Might, Zephyr’s body lit up once more. His body was like a black hole as it swallowed the energy from the Dragon Lizard. With this boon, Zephyr’s rune improved drastically. Finally, the rune fully manifested itself upon Zephyr. It glowed a mystical, faint blue color. On top of it, electrical sparks could be felt. It rested upon Zephyr’s forehead, signifying his increase in power. Zephyr’s Might itself improved by manifolds too. After the training, the third scale also looked to be more materialized.
Once Zephyr finished his sentence, his eyes glowed bright blue, and sparks appeared beside him. He then reached for his pack and retrieved an aromatic fruit. He then ate it in one go, feeling a sudden force of heat wash over him. It was the fire fruit he had obtained earlier!In the past three days, Zephyr had ingested a total of six fire fruits while he trained himself. Its effects had helped a lot in the process. “This is the last one, means it’s time to leave!” Zephyr said to himself. He commanded the heat within, letting it flow throughout his body to replenish it. As of right now, Zephyr felt no pressure to collect more points. After all, the Dragon Lizard saw to that, providing an ample amount. Even the Ninth Prince and his team could never achieve Zephyr’s score.Zephyr stayed a bit more to train his Focus, Seven Slashes, and Lightfoot… all his greatest techniques. He had achieved a greater mastery over himself and his moves than anyone could ever anticipate for.…‘The next
Suddenly, right as Samson finished, a sharp burst of energy rushed forward. Its aura was palpable. “Watch it! We’re under attack!” Samson reacted quickly, immediately gathering his energies for a counterattack. A round of agonizing screams rang out. Not long after, the sound of four bodies had hit the floor. All four of them were bloodied and filled with holes, it was truly a horrible sight to see. However, the holes themselves were an even more of a strange sight. This was because it had burn marks on it. Within, the pop and sparkle of electricity could be heard. Even the blood on the surface looked to be evaporating from the heat.“Who are you!!” Samson demanded, screaming to the heavens. The men who were just killed were Strengths of level nine. They were even the prized members of his team. Any loss of one would have angered Samson, much less four. After all, they were his greatest help. “Who are you?! Show yourself!” Samson screamed once more.Suddenly, a streak of light rushed
“Hmph, we’ll see about that!” Zephyr said, unfazed. “Away with you!” Zephyr shouted, as the apparition drew closer. A flash of blue light burst forth from his forehead. A sharp screech could be heard. At the same time, the apparition started to shiver violently. Samson stared in disbelief as the apparition began to retreat, as though it had met a greater rival. “Mine!” Zephyr commanded. Almost instantly, the apparition turned into a flash of light, and was promptly absorbed into his forehead. “Hmm, weak!” Zephyr sighed. The mysterious rune on Zephyr was not only capable of commanding lightning, but also able to deal deadly blows to spirits.If the enemy apparition was strong enough, Zephyr would still have no effect. After all, he had just gotten the rune. However, the apparition that Samson sent forth was rather weak, and it was easily absorbed by Zephyr. He had even absorbed someone else’s spirit to boost his own. A truly frightening move to behold. Had others known his ability to m
“Pathetic!” Zephyr laughed as he watched Samson Leed look back at him with a wide-eyed stare. Zephyr was way stronger than Samson ever could be, he had made sure of that. He proceeded to loot the bodies, thus gaining a total amount of 80,000 points thereafter. Zephyr was shocked. “Samson was good, I guess. Most could only get 10,000, yet here he was with eighty!” Although Zephyr had way more points, he still kept Samson’s. Apart from points, Zephyr also kept some tools and skills from them.Suddenly, Zephyr noticed a black bottle. The bottle looked to be carved from stone, and on its surface were strange engravings. As he reached for the bottle, he was shocked to find it to be extremely heavy. He figured it was about a couple hundred pounds worth of weight. This led Zephyr’s curiosity to grow. He opened the bottle cap, allowing a stream of energy to flow out. Its properties were almost dream-like. Zephyr took one whiff, and felt his body’s energies churn.“Rejuvenating Springwater?”
This girl’s battle power was far superior than most, though Zephyr had little information on her. The reason she was called the ‘Meteor Queen’ stemmed from a battle she once had where she summoned a great meteor down upon another older, legendary fighter. After that, she was henceforth referred to as the Meteor Queen. It was said her battle prowess could be compared to that of a Goddess, capable of communicating with meteors. Of course, the ‘Queen’ part of her name stemmed from her impeccable beauty and elegance, on par with the images of how queens looked like. Though, the odd characteristic was that she often went barefoot, this left many men in manic envy.‘Is this the future Meteor Queen?’ Zephyr thought as he looked her up and down, taking great notice of her feet. “You’re strong, but that Springwater belongs to me!” the girl said once more. “Well then, give me some evidence!” Zephyr demanded. “Unless you can, this belongs to me now! The spoils of battle!” he continued. “It’s min
Filthy rich! Filthy, stinking rich! A Loot ring was an uncommon item. Its pocket dimension was crafted from powerful fighters and smiths. It was extremely capable of storing many items. Most would never have the chance to touch a Loot ring in their lives, not many in the Ahi Dynasty would even have one. Only the space shifters of the academies could forge these. What left Zephyr speechless was the nonchalant way the girl threw the ring onto the ground, as if it was a piece of trash. She was definitely filthy, stinking, bloody, rich!“May I have this Loot ring?” Zephyr asked. “Of course!” the girl said as she nodded. The Loot ring seemed like nothing to her. “Alright, deal!” Zephyr said. He felt as though he had gotten a great deal out of this. Although Springwater was hard to come by, it was nothing compared to a Loot ring. Zephyr tossed the bottle of Springwater over, to which the girl caught happily. Her pained expression quickly dissipated upon receiving it.He looked at the ring
