The skull of the Titania got completely crushed by the arrow's unsettling impact.Creed fell to the ground head first and skidded through the muddy ground. Maira and Nakiya turned around. The blinding light of her flame sword diffused into nullity, and her headless body fell on her knees. An outline of black thunder bolt stretched in their vision that cut through the bright light. Their pupils dilated from the blinding glimmer that vanished before it reached its peak intensity. They caught the glimpse of black tear in the space that vanished faster than they could blink. "Shit! They really… killed her!""What the hell was the black streak? Did you see that?""Yeah, I saw that… but that's an absurd amount of power, even for a Soul-Armas!!""I know… that rhythm almost tore my guts from the inside… I can't believe they really took her down!""Alright! Celebrations later… "Agenor smirke, "First we need to get outta here…"Maira and Nakiya had been using tactical weaponry such as smoke b
A loud burst of anguish echoed in the area. Holt rolled on the muddy ground like a writhing snake trying to cover up the hole in the leg with his hands. Grisha, Alia and Varun turned their necks at Creed in fury. Justin pulled out his sword. Alia clenched her teeth and took a merciless shot at Creed's shoulder. Creed—however—had no interest in her threat and just ignored her without even making an effort to dodge her arrow.Her arrow left the bow at a breakneck pace. However, before it could reach him, it crashed Rain's rapier and impaled the ground 5 meters away. Rain's eyes turned blood red this time. She vanished from her position. Her figure flared in front of them while she closed the gap. Rain scurried forward like a slippery eel as Varun and Grisha rushed forward to stop her. Before they could stop her she appeared right next to Alia at a breakneck pace.In a blink of an eye, she dug her boot inside Alia's gut and kicked her in the air. The molecules of oxygen escaped her lu
Creed and others rushed towards the exit as fast as they could. Everyone was injured and exhausted thoroughly. The entire ground was still infested with ghouls. Staying on Pandemonium in this weakened state was no better than sitting in the middle of a busy road. TThey had achieved their end goal and the hunt was practically over for them. Unfortunately, Colt turned around and noticed the several footsteps trailing behind them. "Man! They are still at it?" He sighed as he ran past the ground, "Sore losers"'Agenor peaked behind and saw several people following them. He too felt his breath escaping his lungs."Can't blame them… since most of us are too exhausted!""I have a two more stun grenade and 3 smoke bombs… " Nakiya replied, "Let's just run for now!" Maira replied with a smirk, "They'll soon regret coming after us…" "And here I thought we were going to take a different route…" Colt show his disagreement"I know you don't like this plan… but we have no choice. Everyone is too
With the rope untied, Rain fell nonchalantly into the abysmal pit of inescapable demise. Every Rha member's heart sank into crippling anguish. The taste of victory was stained by regret and misery.When Creed saw her tumble into the Valley of Ghouls, his tears turned crimson. The jaws of Agenor and Falco were so tightened that multiple veins on their forehead were apparent. Colt, Nakiya, and Maira all gazed at Wolf with unfathomable rage.Just glancing at Rain's eyes as she fell to her own demise caused their lips to foam. There is no agony or anguish that can compare to the death of a comrade. This was a devastating loss for the entire team.Rain fell directly in the middle of a terrifying swarm. The collision not only killed some of the ghouls that were protecting her, but it also fractured the bones in her legs as soon as her feet hit the ground.They expected her to die swiftly and painlessly, but Rain was still alive despite her fragile bones. This turned out to be much scarier,
"So what if I did? My life is worthless already!""I'm starting to think you are right!" Creed nodded while killing the horde"Just...get out of here! Please, let me be… " "Not happening. Coz some asshole leader told me that if you die… I'm off the team!""...He didn't mean it that way! Just leave me here… save yourself at least!" "..." Creed replied with ignorance.~tch"What is wrong with you?" Rain yelled as gritted her teeth. "Why are you so stubborn?""I'm not stubborn. I'm a soldier.""You idiot…" Rain muttered as she saw more and more ghouls coming from all sides, "Now we are both going to die…" ".... Maybe!!" Creed paused for a second and replied, "…isn't that what you wanted?""Wait!" Rain felt a jitter in her heart, "What do you mean 'maybe'? You still think we can get out of here?""Yeah! Unlike you, I still have some hope. I still believe that one of us might survive… unfortunately, the chances of my survival are much lower than yours!"Rain pupils shrink when she reali
A cataclysmic burst of aura dawned in the center of the horde. Rain's spine clench in terror. The hair on her body stood straight when she noticed the abrupt spike in temperature. Her forehead drenched in sweat when she bathed in the thick miasma oozing out of Creed's skin. The corrosive aura of chaos, fanned giant ripples in her circadian rhythms.The sword in the Creed's arms rolled faster than eyes could see. Uncountable streaks of lightning stretched across the field. The hell-flame blade ran horde like a knife through butter. Creed tore through and started cutting off ghouls as if he was mowing his grassy backyard. After a few seconds, both of their bodies got covered in sticky blood and flesh.The havoc Creed caused in the field was immeasurable, as a result, the blood and gore rained from the sky down like a heavy downpour.The fact that Creed's body adapted to the new longsword so fast made the entire scene even more terrifying. Despite such a bone deep exhaustion, he zapp
Soon, All six lanterns died, casting a pitch black darkness over the entire glassy sky road. He had exerted way too much of the effort. His vision turned blurry and his kneed finally froze. Everything abstract concept that he latched onto dissolved in a split second. Rain also felt his heart stopping in the middle of combat and closed her own eyes as well, accepting her fate. His eyes dulled until there was no light left in them. Exhaustion finally caught up to him and his heart stopped. His arm twitched and blood flow stagnated. However just when the glassy sky road lost its glimmer, the imprint of two feet manifested. The footprints shone cutting through the darkness like the last glimmer of hope.The ghostly footprints inched closer and stood right in front of him. Creed's eyes still showed no sign of movement. Regardless, a friendly husky voice echoed through the entire path."I see you're in a clutch again… "Hearing the voice, Creed pupils jittered a bit. "Dad!""… What an im
A faint ray of sunshine passed through the glassy window pane and touched a face covered in white bandages. The bandages mainly covered the forehead and the right eye. The brief dance of warm sunshine caused his eyelid to flutter and his pulses to quicken.The patient's whole neurological system, including his throat, was startled by the abrupt increase in blood flow.~cough ~cough ~huff ~cough ~cough ~cough ~huff His chest began to bounce wildly. Shoving his spine forward, forcing him to rise while firmly pushing away the white bed cover that was concealing his waist.Creed sprang from his bed, gasping for air. He was coughing quite terribly. Fortunately, a hand descended on his back and began to thoroughly rub it. Creed also noticed a glass of fresh water in front of his eyes and grabbed it without thinking, drank as quickly as he could."Easy!" A familiar voice bloomed in his ears, "Take light sips… "Creed was startled by the voice and had to turn right thanks to a bandage c
