"What are those, master?" Chief Sakar asked towards the masked expert. He saw metallic braces same as what he noted on the silent companion of the boy. They were inside a magical sack that materialized with only a wave of a hand. This most probably came from a storage ring, he thought.
"As I said, it is a gift from the master. You may address me as Mistress Ais. Get one and put it on your neck, mortals." The masked boy replied to the enquiry of Chief Sakar.
"You heard Mistress Ais. Do it!" Chief Sakar shouted and a line formed to enact the command of their new superior. The fatal deterrence of the powerful assured a silent assent to the collection, both bandits and slaves. A total of 321 people.
"Yo
"Build a teleportation matrix at this position." Madame Ais instructed a newly purchased Builder Bot."Affirmative. Estimated time of completion 30 minutes." the Builder Bot replied in its mechanical voice. Madame Ais spoke no further and went out into the cold evening. Two familiar bandits stood guard outside the property. They neither made a sound or took even the slightest of movements. Both just looked alert and gazed unblinkingly into every direction. Like timeless sentinels on an immortal's castle. And when they saw Madame Ais step on air and receded from their vision, their countenance never changed. Even a bit of stimulus was not shown."How much world energy can this construct gather, Builder Bot 1?" Madame Ais asked when she arrived at an artificial underground
"Yeyyyyy! Wohhhooooo!" Uwyn yelled in an excited voice. She rode a mystical beast the resembled a horse with no wings but flew high above the clouds."Be careful, Uwyn! Don't move around that much!" Maru quickly chastised his sister. His magical beast took the form of a dragon but only reflected the size of Uwyn's summoned being. These amazing creatures were from the Automaton Factory that Madame Ais constructed five days earlier."Let's go down." Maru said after only 30 seconds of flying. They could have arrived earlier but his sister requested that they fly more as she enjoyed the feeling of touching the clouds freely."Welcome young master and young miss! I am Mirthal, a loose cultivator. How can
"Okay, Uwyn. But let me just get these boxes first." Maru said and was planning on doing something but was cut off by Uwyn's voice."Let me! Let me! I'll do it, brother!" were the enthusiastic words of Uwyn. She touched a ring on one of her fingers and the boxes suddenly vanished from their static placements."An interspatial ring!" Mirthal gasped inaudibly as he witnessed the abrupt disappearance of the boxes. These two were definitely from the major sects or the ancient families in this continent. Either of those was not one to be offended. They were the top influences that held supreme power in these lands, the true rulers on this piece of earth. He stood even more respectful towards Maru and Uwyn.
"Do you remember that other magic I taught you, Uwyn?" Maru said as he tightened his embrace unto Uwyn when she was about to turn her head to take a look at the commotion behind her."You mean that forbidden magic, brother? Yes, yes. I remember. But you said to only use it if my life was in danger. Are there bad people right now?" Uwyn asked her brother as her eyes grew bigger in alarm. She looked to her left and right as she tried to find the location of the bad guys."They're going to be here soon, Uwyn. I want you to use your magic and go to mom, okay? I won't be there to protect her so you should take my place. Don't let the bad people hurt mom." Maru instructed his sister."You can count on me,
Massive explosions raged all over the place that seemed to rock the foundation of the world. Unsuspecting people were caught out in the conflagrations of magic which did not show any signs of abating. Their remains will never be seen again as even their ashes were purged out of existence. The citizens of the nearby city felt the vibrations of the ground and fear crept into their hearts as the peculiar phenomena could be gazed from afar. The distant sky was thrown into a chaotic mix of colors. Calming lights strewn across the cindering flames of fury and on its embrace were the howling swirls of winds in combination with the muddy particles of rocks."SLOOSH!" beams of light were mercilessly flying in all directions. When the barrage neared the city, smoke arose in the dilapidated land masses in reaction to the destruction it caused. The flatnes
"Master, an urgent message has come from the City of Antavale." A body formed of hazy shadows lent a jade slip to a person who was sitting on a lotus position under a colossal olden tree. The person opened his eyes and the world suddenly turned quiet. The wind stopped its gales and the weaving leaves calmed. This person was a white robed youth who seemed to not be over the age of 20 at first glance. But when one looks into his eyes, they could see the vicissitudes of time revolving around that pair of enigmatic globes.The white robed youth looked unto the jade slip on his hands and seeped his spiritual consciousness unto the object. When he was done, an obvious frown marred his handsome face."Send Lukas to the City of Antavale." The white robed youth instructed the lone
The future of Lukas was simply limitless. That was why she had grabbed at the earliest opportunity to capture the heart of the young man. Others may have scorned at her actions but she knew full well of her limitations. She was stranded at the Peak of Essence Gathering Realm for a long time now and hadn't made the littlest of progress. The two had been together for almost 10 years and were madly in love with each other. At least that was what she showed on the outside. She had hidden her genuine feelings very well."I love you, Ethel!" Lukas pronounced and gave the love of his life one last kiss before he stood up. He picked the fallen jade slip and was gone with the wind after another breath passed."I love you too, Lukas." Ether muttered inaudibly as she too vanished fr
The two looked at each other's eyes and silence reigned between them. There was no need for words to be spoken after they exchanged their innermost thoughts. Fade, who was a bystander to this dialogue, stayed quiet through it all. She was wise enough to know that any interruption would not be taken that mildly by her two seniors."How long had they been fighting, Master Zeke?" Lukas asked after a full minute had gone by. He watched unto the distant battle and regarded the energy signatures each combatant was releasing. They were alien to him and found that every single entity was using the elements with a hundred percent efficiency. The finesse that they commanded unto each summons as they bend the forces of nature onto their will was signifying war veterans who had faced innumerable wars. Lukas could not even say that he could match their skil
