If it was anyone else, they might not have noticed this. But this was Zephyr, a powerful, up and coming fighter with senses that extended beyond the norm. No matter how well the others had hid themselves, none may hide for long. ‘He’s roughly 150 feet away from me… with friends all around,’ Zephyr’s heart raced with this thought. With such preparation on their end, Zephyr knew he was in for a long night. “Have you finally cracked, Sun?!” he demanded.With this, a barrage of movements closed in on Zephyr, and in the blink of an eye, about ten or so men surrounded him. Among them was a middle-aged man, with a striking aura. He had made no effort to hide his power. Some of them, Zephyr recognized from his first meeting with the Sun. Most of them were Strengths of level eight, the other two were level nine. ‘The Sun are powerful indeed, sending such strong fighters against me,’ Zephyr thought, excited at the prospect. He made an effort to remember their faces.“Zephyr, our lord invites y
“Who knew that the b*stard of Starlight city, was actually such a terrifying character!”“The Khan has many secrets!”Some of the men sighed. “He’s too powerful to be left alive! We must take him head-on, at our full power! Change of plans, he is to be taken in, dead!”If they were just toying with Zephyr earlier, they were serious now. Unfortunately, they underestimated Zephyr’s power which was far greater than they expected. If they had known, they would have run by now.Suddenly, a surge of sword-skill came. Before they knew it, the shimmer of a sword flashed before them, followed by Zephyr’s sudden appearance. “Fourth Slash!” he said quietly. Blade after blade appeared around them, powered by Zephyr’s Lightfoot. With a disgusting, loud crack, and a spray of fresh blood, two of the Sun fighters were cut limb from limb. “Die!” One of them yelled, angered by the death of their comrade. “Fifth Slash!” Zephyr cried, he vanished and reappeared out of thin air in front of the man. “
“Impossible!”The remaining fighters cried out in fear and disbelief. Their eyes were full of hateful remorse. Zephyr’s frightening powers were on par with an Agile’s. They expressed great remorse for crossing such a foe. With an adversary like Zephyr, the Sun assailants were now in a dangerous spot.Zephyr sent forth another array of swords, a charge which swallowed his attackers whole. When Zephyr was done, he took a deep sigh, and wiped the sweat off his brow. He was exhausted. He had never had such an intense fight before, one in which many skilled fighters ambushed him. Although he was extremely powerful, he could not be careless. After all, these men were at least Strengths of level eight. The only reason Zephyr could quickly finish these guys off — other than their bad defenses — was that they underestimated him. Had they not done so, Zephyr would have had a hard time. Even if he had won, he would no doubt have suffered a grave injury.Zephyr stood there as he slowly regained
“You’re right Zephyr, the Khan now do not have much power left, much less if put up against the Sun,” Typhoon sighed, reluctant to admit the fact. Beside him, Spout bore the same expression. “However…” Zephyr suddenly interjected, a smile crept onto his lips. “They do not know that I can make pills, besides, the balance pills can be used by the clansmen!” He continued, “As long as the Khan are allowed time to grow, we will have strong fighters for sure! By then, no matter how strong the Sun become, we would definitely match them!”Hearing this, Typhoon and Spout’s expressions changed, “You’re right!” They had only considered the power the Sun held, but not the power the Khan had. “For the clan to be strong, the clansmen must be stronger. I propose every capable man start training now, and they should put their all into it!” Zephyr exclaimed.“Training? Zephyr boy, are you suggesting that the Khan go through intense training?” Spout asked. “Indeed! How else would we get stronger? We
“Please do not be afraid. We are Khan from Starlight, we’re here to wipe out the bandits,” Zephyr said comfortingly. “You… you’re Khan from Starlight?” one of them asked, her tone carried traces of sobs. “That’s right, do you know anything that could help us defeat the Wolves?” Zephyr asked. “We were all captured this morning. In fact, this mountain is but an outpost, nothing more,” she replied. “About every hour, they would change shifts… Thank you, thank you so much for saving us! The bandits have taken our purity...they have violated us… please… please avenge us!” she continued, her voice full of hatred. She had attractive features, what a shame they were stolen by such hooligans.What Zephyr did not expect was her reaction to what had happened to her. She immediately cracked her skull on a nearby boulder after she finished her wish. Blood flowed vigorously out of her head, she had died from the impact. Zephyr clenched his fists tightly, she had acted too quickly, by the time Zephy
“Who we are does not matter, what matters is that the Wolves will die tonight!” Zephyr huffed, produced out his sword, and quickly sprinted towards him. “Ha! Do you not know where you are? I am Ghost! You will not be spared tonight!” he replied. Seeing Zephyr rush over, Ghost steadied himself. “Wolf’s Howl!” Ghost howled, with that the attack started. Even though he looked barbaric and unruly, he was very careful. Seeing how many of his men had been slaughtered, even if he did not know who Zephyr was, he knew he was formidable. The Wolf’s Howl was his ultimate attack, he had killed many an equal with just three swipes. Ghost howled into the night, sending his axe along with it. He followed with great shockwaves of destruction, and it crushed everything within 30 feet. Ghost did not consider the few men he had caught within his tempest. “Everyone back off! Leave him to me!” Zephyr ordered, displaying his sword skill while he blocked the blow. This man’s power was too strong for the ot
With a sickening crunch that echoed the place, Zephyr had shattered Ghost’s body. Zephyr’s strength was undeniably strong after training under the Way, a level of strength Ghost could never comprehend. “Kill the bandits! Leave none alive!” Zephyr commanded while he scanned the surrounding area. The bandits around could only quake in place, unknowing of what to do next. “Die!”The Khan men rushed forward, having been bolstered by Zephyr’s display of power. Tonight, they will sprout from the blood of their enemies!It was a massacre, All the bandits within the mountain range were gruesomely killed that night. The decades of terror under the Hungry Wolves came to an abrupt stop that night, the Khan being their reapers. For days, the mountain range will run red with blood. “My Lord, there are none left! Only a few of us were hurt, none killed!” someone reported to Zephyr the next morning. Every Khan who came was now filled with a threatening, deadly aura. All they could think of was to
While the Sun were busy clucking like chickens, the Khan had prepared for their next massacre. The Khan, now under Zephyr’s leadership, hid themselves, like ghosts within the forest. They went on a rampage throughout the mountain ranges around Starlight. Their killing seemed to have no end in sight. With the help of the balance pills, the Khan clansmen had received many boons, their powers skyrocketed with each session. Before they knew it, two weeks of genocide had passed. The Khan had successfully improved themselves without anyone in Starlight finding out. With each training session, the Khan’s strength improved massively. Every clansman would take 3 balance pills every day. No clan in Starlight could do the same. With the help of the pills, and participating in the heat of battle, how could the Khan not get stronger?“Wonderful! This is just wonderful…” Typhoon Khan uttered, when he saw the growth of his men. In just half a month, the Khan had improved so much. This was something
