“Calling for Caramel. I think they are doing something.” Macchiato instantly alerted his people.
The sudden silence at the enemy's side after the deafening roar worried him the most. He wasn’t a paranoid person and was far from being meticulous or cautious. However, the one they were facing was none other than Lord Shadow’s people.
More than anything, Lord’s eccentricity would rub off on them whether they liked it or not. It led to one conclusion.
The unknown variable.
The unpredicted behavior.
He was worried specifically when one of Lord Shadow’s subjects had a similar personality as her. It was uncanny, to the point it was terrifying. Although he seemed to be enjoying pain more than anyth
“What makes you believe so?”Honestly, Naomi was quite skeptical. To her, all vampires had their fair share of destroying humanity. Allying themselves with humans wasn't as great as they thought. It was part of their atonement of humans.Still, they still had to drink human blood to survive. Animal blood was quite good but it wasn’t as great as human blood. In a way, they were worse than what they’d initially believed.And Naomi thought the same. She was the worst. As the chosen one, the beloved daughter of nature, her need was greater and her blood consumption increased to keep up with her title. The bigger the title, the bigger responsibility she had, and the bigger blood she needed.
GRRRRUUUUU~ The earth was vibrating, answering the call of the vampire lord. The beads of blood dropped like a freaking bullet hitting the target, penetrating at a high speed. ZZUP! ZZUPZZZUPZZUPZZUPZZUPZZUP! Some were hitting the ground, trees, boulders and some even hit the dragons and the owners. There were 20 trapped dragons and owners. And the crazy situation was, every one of them was hit by the blood rain. The blood didnโt necessarily kill their targets, it was enough to injure them. โBloodโฆ smell of bloodโฆโ Macchiato was beyond panic. Even his solid armor couldnโt save him from being injured by the sudden rain. โUrgh! Ex
“Hiccup!” Latte hiccupped. It was obvious, the sound resonated between them.She didn’t know why but she hiccupped while dashed toward the enemy while her eyes were searching for that familiar gaze. And at the same time, she felt a foreboding feeling.KLANG! KLANG! BOM! BOM! BOM! BOM!Two werewolves were confronting one dragon and its owner. The collided bodies resonated inside the forest. The blood painted the forest and the nasty sounds were singing in the back.Rooooar!One of the dragons suddenly screeched and started to ram their bodies to one of the werewolves. Fortunately, the partner saved them in the nick of time.Mina's sharp eye sockets lit up even red
Latte failed to form any sentence as the loud panting escaped her mouth. Her hands felt heavy, her fingers were trembling and her legs nearly lost their strength. Not to mention, one of her legs was throbbing.“Let me tell you something.” Mina kept on taunting her while launching the deathly attack on her.Latte gritted her teeth as she defended herself but, this crazy werewolf seemed aimed at something. Her eyes were looking at something else, behind her back.So, Latte followed the gaze through her peripheral vision and her body jerked and her heartbeat rose once again. The fear that seemed to be under control was now out of control for the second time. This werewolf was an unpredictable foe that was unreadable.“Don’t you dare!” Latte bra
CAWWWWWWW!“Ah, my beloved King.” Shadow looked up.CAAAAAAAAWWWWW!Shadow grinned yet again, looking at the crow that was flying in a circle one meter on top of her head.“Lord Shadow…”“You may go, Cole.”“I understand.” Cole quickly bid farewell to fulfill his work demand.“Sabrina… you too.”“Me too?” Sabrina was pouting, this time.Shadow waved her hand to Sabrina as her eyes fixated on King, still.“I wi
It was a funny sight when the roar of the dragons quieted down almost instantly. And Caramel who knew exactly who the culprit was stared blankly at that.The dragons that came rushing had stayed stagnant at one place regardless of their position. It was because of the real power that Shadow wielded. Although Caramel couldn’t understand the origin of her power and how it worked, she knew that this overlord was the cause of everything.“You had overruled me.” Caramel ground her teeth, trembling in anger.“You seem to know some stuff.” She gestured at her people afterward. “Return to our respected place. Samuel, come with me.”The rest of her people bowed their heads and obeyed with no word offered.
ROOOOOOAAAAARRRRR!A full assault took place everywhere in the sky, on the air. A couple of brave warriors dared to run her up and sneakily implanted an attack. None ever succeeded. If they ever did, it was the succession of death.The moment they chased after Shadow without a plan, it was the same as planning the quickest funeral. That’s because, at this moment, the roar of the angry dragons was like background music at a funeral and the brave warriors were the ready-made corpses.BOM! BOM! BOM!The shield sands created by magic protected both Shadow and the earth dragon. The attacks only crumbled the sturdy shield which was easily replaced with a new spell.Shadow enjoyed every situation she was in. She had never ridden the dragon before and certainly tau
“NOW!”The decree of the chieftain pulsated through the air, carried by the wind in the sky. The dragons were lined up straight while gritting their own breath attribute.Shadow was under the impression that such individual creatures could be so organized. Her senses were beeping simultaneously. Both warned her to escape or to fight seriously. She knew how dreadful the situation she was in.Nevertheless, she could not stop. No matter how many alarms were beeping, sirened her to move, she couldn’t. That’s because this thrilling feeling had clouded her mind. The figures of desperate opponents made her so alive.That was her salvation.The desperation, the anguish, the despair, the hopelessness&hell
Black and Teal landed at the training ground where Shadow was. Their clean attire fluttered around, eyes focused on Shadoe who was harassing her sparring partners which consisted of Albert, Firash, Aidan, Dhia, and also Musa. Watching those people's haggard faces and tattered clothes, Teal covered her mouth as a nostalgic feeling crept under her skin. It was not a great experience. Although, it increased her prowess, power, ability to wield her GIFT, and strength. Still, it wasnโt a pleasant experience knowing how brutal Shadow could be. โI think we need to rescue them.โ โShould we?โBlack mumbled while stroking her chin while Teal shivered at the thought alone. Then, both of them wavered their hands as those people took notice of them and pleaded with their eyes.โShould we?โโ... we should, should we?โBlack asked cunningly and Teal sighed in resignation. If they don't save them, they might hit their limit soon. In normal circumstances, it would be ideal, however, not right now.
โHmmmโฆ are those the ships that we need to destroy?โ โApparently so, Blue.โโSeriously?โโYup, yup.โโ... that thing is gigantic. What theโฆโ โFu fu fu. Believe me, I thought so too, Blue.โBlue and Pink were standing right in front of the naval ship. Blue was standing on top of the ice he created while Pink was flying, fluttering her flowerโs wings behind her back.They were in the middle of the sea with nothing in it. They were sure that the mermen would be ambushing. They expected it to a certain extent, howeverโฆ what they didnโt expect was the oblivious approach.The naval ships filled with countless beastmen, no. hundreds of confused beastmen. Both Pink and Blue didnโt smell particularly strong.Blue seemed delighted but Pink was quite vexed. โDid we get the weakest link?โ She flipped open her paper fan and fanned it harder.โI donโt know. Feels like I am in heaven.โPink gnashed her teeth and glared at her partner.โWhat?โ Blue acted innocent.โYou and your stupid attitude.โ S
โLook. thereโs an ass picture of the supposed dragon lord.โ Green mumbled next to White.โI can see that, Green.โ White tried to control her lips from vomiting.โJust alerting you.โโThank you.โGreen and White were disguising themselves as a wizard and a witch. Wands at each hand.โYoung man,โ a soft touch was placed on Green.Green reflexly turned his head at the old lady next to him. His green eyes dilated a mere second before a sweet smile emerged. โYes, beautiful lady?โ โHo ho ho,โ the old lady that looked not more than 70 years old radiantly chuckled. โHow sweet you are.โ White looked away, acting like Green and she wasnโt related. The old lady might appear 70, but she knew better, that the old lady was centuries old.โDo you know what is the meaning behind this painting?โGreen stroked his chin, pondering at the ass painting โ again, the supposed dragon lord. He wasnโt sure what to say. It was literally the buttcrack of Ferdinand. Howโd he know? The description was literall
Bzzzzzzt~The sharp sound of electricity traveled across the metal factory.Unlike Grey and Brown, their destination was a metal factory. Thanks to kind-hearted Grey, they changed their destination. It was the closest and it was on the ground.Everyone knew Orange didnโt do well underground due to old trauma. Hence why Grey decided to give in. As always. Also, they all knew that Orange was Greyโs favorite. Of course, Grey denied the claim and the issue died there. As usual.They strolled inside as if they were visiting the factory, not invading. Meanwhile, the enemies were panicking.โAbadโs been hit. Thereโs someone out hereโโ The voice that was shouting through the radio before cutting out. Huh? The fuck? Abadโs hurt?โCaptain Ayham, the left side is clear,โ Barqi said right after that. โWeโre moving, heading to the main pathway.โ Ayham gritted his teeth.He was in the controller room. CCTV captured the activities inside the factory. However, the place where the enemies were situ
Tap! Both of them landed right in the middle of the nothingness. It was barren. Sand, rock, and cactus. Thatโs all.It was a freaking desert.โThis is the right place.โ Brown adjusted his mask.Grey raised his arm into the air and pulled out his middle finger and felt the air.โWhy must that one?โ Brown was tired of his antics.โAs long as I can do my work,โ retorted Grey nonchalantly. โWhat about your situation?โ Slightly turned his head at Brown.โI have a clear vision.โ Brown closed his eyes, feeling the movement underneath. โHow many?โ He tilted his head. Something was wrong. The weather felt wrong for some reason. The density of air was different than usual.โApproximately 50 beastmen on each floor. I could be wrong.โโAnd how many floors do they have?โ He opened his eyes and stared at the sky.โApproximatelyโฆ three.โ Grey counted the clouds in the air. โThree? Are you sure?โ Brown tilted his head and set his jaw, feeling the vibration even the smallest one. โWait a minute!
โWild Bunny, gather!โ Black clapped her hands, calling the rest of the restless members.โWhat are we? Fucking school kids?โ Orange murmured silently, his steps still trudging toward Black.โShut your stinky mouth.โ Brown clicked his tongue.โWhat a fool.โ White shook her head.โYouโre the last thing I want to hear.โ Teal groaned.โWe ainโt fighting.โ Pink pushed both their heads at once while walking past them.The rest of them were laughing inwardly.Once they gathered, Black placed a transparent bowl with numerous folded papers in it. Her black eyes latched on each one of them, wriggled her brows petulantly.โAs usual, weโll choose our area the Old Way.โโUgh! I hate it.โ Blue murmured amongst them. The voice filled with annoyance.โWe must use this method to ensure fairness, Blue Bunny.โ Blue rolled his eyes shut and slumped his head on Pinkโs shoulder.โIโll pick the paper for us.โ Pink raised her hand.โMeโฆ will do.โ White raised her hand as well.Gold nodded at Black.โAlright
Flashback! โHey! Do you want to hear a secret?โ Shadow asked right after her wedding took place.All the Underworld family gathered around. A secret? Just you, and the rest of us? Ehe., hehehe. Oops. sorry that had to come out. Go on.โ Brown and Orange clasped their hands in full happiness.โWhat is it?โ Black swallowed hard. โDonโt tell meโฆโโSomething is wrong.โ Captain from Mandrill Monkey arched his brow in anticipation.โI also can feel it in my dick.โ Daddy from Mandrill Monkey stroked his chin.โGod damn it, Daddy.โ โI am only telling the truth. My dick can feel it.โ He had no remorse, no shame.โPlease donโt talk about that in the open, I guess?โโAbout what? Dick? Why? Because we have ladies here?โโYes, and it is inappropriate.โโWhy? They can talk about their vajayjay if they want to.โโDamn it, Daddy! Stop it!โ Captain clasped his mouth and dragged him away.The rest of the Mandrill Monkeys were cackling as if there was no tomorrow. โAfter analyzing the movement of the
โSniffโฆ really?โ Phantom rubbed his nose against Shadowโs neck.โYes. I canโt live without you. I swear.โ She tried to appear convincing.โBut will you die?โ He was adamant about Shadowโs life.Why wouldnโt he? He was there when Shadow was at the bottom. He was there when she was suffering. He was there when she died hundreds of times. He could do nothing but watch her from afar. He had no physical body nor the capability to protect her. He was a mere artificial intelligence living in the system. โPhantomโฆ I will cease to exist following the promise of the previous lord. Abah. I canโt die before that. My body has been programmed to do so.โIt was her sad life. Cease to exist. She would never experience death like others. She would cease to exist when the time was calling. Her death would be a mysterious death. A sudden death. Abah had promised her up to 1000 years old. She knew her body couldnโt hold that long. According to her calculation, she had 800 years more to go. Plus and min
โHave you improvised their ID card or something?โShadow turned her head at her desk. Phantom was seen sitting on top of his folders, crossed legs, and caned his chin with his hand. He was grinning wide.โYouโre here?โ Shadow rested her head on the visitor chair in front of her desk.Phantomโs foot was wagging back and forth, right in front of Shadow. Yet, the girl said nothing to reprimand him. She was just extremely.Phantom waved his hand, some sort of greeting or whatever.โNo, the upgraded version. As soon as the card seeped into him, his whole existence was inside the system.โ She answered.โWhen did you develop the new version?โ It piqued Phantomโs interest.Shadow merely scoffed and shut her eyes. โMind checking how well the information settles in?โ She meant all the information regarding Amariโs body.It felt like time stopped momentarily. Phantom lost his smile. The usual playful vibe was killed. Phantom killed it. Anger gradually flamed inside his eyes.โWhatever you mean
