All Chapters of Apaurushya - The Continuum: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Colt and Nakiya once again try to suppress their giggles as they look at each other. Agenor cleared his throat just to stop the verbal bullying."Maira…just leave the poor guy alone!" Agenor cut her off, "But you guys do understand that I'm only allowing these kinds of jokes until the kid comes, right?""...the bloody audacity of optimism!" Falco snorted with a disdainful laugh, "If he was willing to join today he would have been here already. I'm telling you, he ain't coming… so let's just fill the form and get it over with!""Come on! You don't know that." Agenor replied, "besides, it's not like we'd be getting a prize for submitting the form so early, so let's just wait until we can!"At this, Colt mustered his courage to interrupt Agenor."Agenor! I kinda agree with Falco on this one… I mean, he was pretty spooked when the Master announced her intentions."Nakiya chipped in as well, adding to Colt's concern. "Yeah. Our goal is just too daunting, almost to the point of lunacy. All

While Agenor took care of form and document, Maira and Creed were fidgeting with their own rucksacks next to each other. The thing about archers is that their equipment needs more attention and preparation than anyone else in the team.Their gears are consumables so they had to keep a check on how much they can carry on a single mission. Maira knew that Creed had packed a huge set of arrows inside his rucksack, but when she peeked at his bag, it was thrice as big as her own. "Just out of curiosity...how many arrows did you bring?" She asked,"216" Creed replied, "Why? Running low on supplies? I can spare some if you need?""Nah! I'm good… but you know bringing so many would slow you down! I understand that you like to plan things beforehand but this is just too much…""I hope you're right…" Creed's fingers trembled slightly, "coz for some I feel that even this much won't be enough."Maira asked, "What about soul armas? How many arrow-type soul armas do you have?""One!" Creed replied

Falco and Colt looked brutally flustered. Nakiya and Maira held their thumping chests. While Agenor scratched his forehead with dreadful mortification. However, their reactions were not over-exaggerated at all. Now that they had a closer look at the beast jogging next to them, the threat they felt was undeniably real. Last time he didn't have a mount on the hunt, but this time he does. Creed unintentionally caught them off guard and scared them with a sudden chase.Technically, Cursed Stallion should belong to 'Phantom' for killing the Malaka Chieftain, haunted along with everyone else. Fortunately, None of them knew Phantom's real identity, so it all worked out in Creed's favor.He had decided to reveal the Cursed Stallion as his mount on the hunt, whereas whenever he would mount the identity of a Phantom, he would just stick to his Inca Wings. Both of his personas now had their own separate and unique trademark modes of commute, which is exactly what he wanted others to see."Is th

While the people on the ground were wrapped in the aura of panic and mayhem, 6 people were latching on to a giant vine dangling in the sky. The Rha members were only half way through and yet, their arms were trembling violently from exhaustion.Despite their dedication and zeal, all the members were panting like crazy. They were trying to climb as fast as they could. But they were at a height where it was impossible for anyone to see them from the naked eye.Even if someone on the ground would turn his head up, all they would see are unrecognizable worms wriggling over the vines. However, despite such a huge distance Agenor still didn't let anyone open their chakras. That's because anyone with open chakra or the ground would be able to echo-locate their presence even from miles away. He wasn't planning on blowing their covers yet.Colt was having the most hard time, while climbing. He was trying his best to not look down. His expression was so sharp and disturbing that it almost seemed

On the other edge of the Pandemonium, Creed sat on top of a rocky cliff with his rucksack next to him. His eyes lingered around his IOT compass attached to his belt. A gaze of solemnity hovered over his eyes. It was pretty obvious that something was going on inside his head."Hmm… looks like compasses don't work here! I can't sense anyone's rhythm on the ground… that's weird!"He chewed on his energy bar. "This Pandemonium... it's like a whole separate dimension…"Though it seemed as if Agenor and others had reached the Pandemonium first, what they didn't know was that Creed had been sitting on this random cliff for quite a while now. In fact, he had reached the Pandemonium long before other Rha members stepped foot on the surface. The only difference was Creed took a shortcut and climbed it by using his Inca Wings.However, since the Inca Wings were part of Phantom's identity he had to fly and reach the other edge of Pandemonium without being seen by anyone, not even his party member
