Jericho spat out the cloth and leaped towards the tyrant, its mouth wide open showcasing razor-sharp teeth. As he neared the Tyrant, a hard circular object stuck into its mouth, its teeth tore deep into the object’s metallic surface and got stuck. As Jericho looked down he noticed a shield sticking out of its mouth. Tyndale had managed to pick up one lying close to him and pushed it into its mouth. Unaware, Jericho was caught off guard with a boot to the face. The kick was aimed at the shield. Tyndale pushed out the shield with his kick so violently that it broke the teeth submerged into the metal. As the shield rolled on the mud with the teeth sticking out of it, Jericho shrieked in pain. Daito finally came to, getting to his feet just in time before the blast shot the Vurhan's entire face off. He charged forward with a blast of his own. Tyndale reverted his attention towards him which left him exposed to the mercy of the beast. Another swipe of the claws ripped up a shred of his s
Their furious stomps echoed throughout the forest, sounding like a huge landslide. Their shrieks shook leaves off their branches and their feet dug out the solid underneath them as they ran. Further south a blaring yell of a battle horn sounded. The three turned their attention towards the sound and saw the army of undead knights trampling over the miniature hill, from afar they looked like dolls, but their torches flickered like fireflies and the fumes of burning oil reached the three from the other side. “Sisters, be by my side as we walk into battle!” lady Melo addressed the eight warriors next to her. They all chanted back in unison, all in agreement to follow their mistress to the gates of death. As the last of the vurhans left behind their trail of puke and dust the vurhanil king, Dakario, Lady Melo and her band of female assassins made their way down the hill. To the south Kanchi Asobi, Ladzgery Tyndale and Jrue Deryleen also begun their descent, all heading for the gates of R
Tyndale felt a severe force push his right shoulder, blue blinding light whisked past his ear, after a while, a sharp pain accompanied the disturbance. He looked to his right and noticed the burning flesh searing off his shoulder. Daito stood behind him pointing his palm towards his direction. He promptly fired another shot when he saw the tyrant charge towards him. Skillfully evading the attempt, Tyndale slid across the mud, taking out Daito’s feet. On his descent, Daito was met with a stiffing blast of heat that choked the air out of his lungs. The blast shot him up the air. Tyndale aimed another blast at him, but before he could gather his stance he was tackled to the ground and both their bodies glided across the mud turning them brown. “Why you annoying piece of…” Its broken teeth sunk deep into Tyndale's torso, puncturing his stomach that triggered gushes of blood shooting out of the fresh wounds. Daito tried to gracefully land on his feet like a feline, but the slippery mud
Still time for what? What are you talking about?” “I need to talk to whoever is in charge! This is urgent.” The rest of the room looked at him like he had lost his mind. “What are you looking at? I said I want to talk to whoever is in charge!” “You are looking at them. We are the ones in charge here.” Albert scanned the room. He looked down as if he was disappointed as if he expected something more. He fell back to his bed and wiped the droplets of sweat on his forehead. “Listen carefully. In two days' time, you have to assemble an army and head over to Defectors State near the border of Free State. The rest of the people who were held captive by the tyrant will be there, you have to go and save them.” “Hold it right there. Where did you get this information from?” “It doesn’t matter now. What matters is that you should go there and evacuate the rest of the captives. You people are the army, you were supposed to lay down your lives to support the citizens you serve and yet whe
Alicia charged a shot and pointed her hands towards her but she used Martha as a shield. The rest of the state guards pulled out their weapons. She pulled her off the wheelchair and walked with her towards the door. “This entire house is surrounded Tulip. If you do anything foolish you won’t make it out of here alive!” “Don’t worry Alicia. I'm not going to hurt your mother. This is just a precautionary measure to ensure my escape. I have one last thing I was told to tell you Alicia. The person who was sent to extract the spies. He told me the eight Heads have chosen you to be worthy of seeing the truth! You must follow the path to find the great link. He has all the answers!” “Let my mother go and we can have a civil discussion!” Oddly enough Martha remained as calm as ever, as if she knew she was not going to get harmed. DISTRICT DARK Alicia locked herself up inside her house. She felt the entire weight of the world on her shoulders and she wasn’t strong enough to bear that bur
Tyndale aimed another blast at him, but before he could gather his stance he was tackled to the ground and both their bodies glided across the mud turning them brown. “Why you annoying piece of…” Its broken teeth sunk deep into Tyndale's torso, puncturing his stomach that triggered gushes of blood shooting out of the fresh wounds. Daito tried to gracefully land on his feet like a feline, but the slippery mud on the ground forced an awkward landing out of him. Jericho tried to hold him in place in order to give Daito enough time to gather his steps. Tyndale kept hammering at the creature’s head, trying to force it to loosen its grip. No matter how hard he tried he was getting nowhere. Daito charged with a flaunting kick that sent Tyndale flying and crashing onto a group of soldiers who were fighting each other. Before he landed on the ground he saw the bright flash of blue light follow him at the corner of his eye. He instinctively raised his soul sleeve to serve as a shield. The b
Slejj leaned back in his chair and burst out laughing, as if Alicia had said a terrible joke and he was teasing her. It lasted about as long as uncomfortable laughs could last. He went on to say, "You call me a liar all the time, but do you really know what I did, or were you just told?" The skepticism that began to crawl into her mind grew exponentially, mocking her convictions and what she had grown up believing. In the one hand, she was persuading herself that Slejj was nothing more than a traitor who was lying to her, but she still felt she needed to know his side of the story. She could tell which side was going to win. Slejj undid the buttons on his shirt, revealing a deep scar on his chest. A network of black veins sprouted from the mutation at the middle of the dark scar, stretching through his whole chest. The veins weren't normal; they were totally dark, and they swallowed any ray of light that came close to them, making it seem as though there was none there at all. "Th
The entire audience roared in awe. Alicia took her bag and went right into the hovel, where she noticed a middle-aged guy seated at the far end. A stacked stack of papers sat on the table in front of him. He inhaled deeply and placed his pipe on a tray on the table. "Was it Alvatrone or one of the Herman bald bastards who taught you those moves?" He then burst out laughing incessantly. "Are you the one in charge of this undertaking?" "I like to think I am... who's asking?" "My name is Alicia Iko, and I'm a state guard..." "Yes, I can obviously tell; it's plainly written all over your dazzling costume. So, what are you doing in this landfill wasteland as a high-ranking North Angus officer?" "I'm here at the king's request. This is a critical task, and I need immediate entry into the state!" "What school did you attend as a child? You're a state guard. Isn't it true that a passage ticket isn't required? You are free to come and go as you want!" He took up the pipe and lit it a
