We thought we had killed them all. Rivers of blood soaked the ground and flowed between the trees in the forest south of Scarlet Moon. Torn and broken bodies littered our path as we retreated to the safety of the only pack Sebastian trusted with those most precious to him. We limped through the gates, bloody and battle weary after taking on at least five men a piece. Unbeknownst to us at the time, one man survived, Blue Blade, named for the unique and deadly weapon he wields. He is the one who sends rogues to the border, taunting me, letting me know he is still out there, waiting for me to blink so he can strike.

I stared at them coldly then said each word with finality. "Death be upon those who point their swords to my face in exchange for my people. I, Dante Montenegro from the Blood Moon pack, I build my throne with the skeletons of my enemies,"

It was sent by the Junior Architects, the radical faction of the Father’s company that refused to accept the Council’s verdict. The blade was made of Anti-Data, designed to sever the connection between a biological brain and its "Glitched" soul. The Counter-Strike: The United Frequency The Assassin moved with the speed of a computer processor ($3.0 \text{ GHz}$), far faster than any biological reflex. But Elara wasn't just biological. She reached for the link she shared with her pack. In the "Embassy of the Void," the Feral Six acted as a Distributed Processor. Zane provided the "Grounding," absorbing the shock of the Assassin's strike.

She wanted more, but her body couldn't handle it anymore. The woman is Blade, a promising female warrior in the Greenstone and captain of a squad. She's an omega, but she managed to rise through the ranks with her exceptional talent. However, being one of the strongest still couldn't satisfy her. She's only a big fish in the well, and many are stronger than her outside.

"You were built to fight a human. You were not built to fight a firewall." The Mirror didn't lunge; it flowed. Its arm elongated, the liquid metal hardening into a serrated obsidian blade in mid-air. Alexander parried, the collision of high-frequency steel and programmable matter sending a shower of violet sparks across the lift’s interior. The battle was a masterclass in efficiency because they shared the same tactical foundation. Every strike was anticipated, and every feint countered before it could begin, as they moved in a blur of silver and blue with their bodies clashing in the rhythmic precision of a ticking clock.

"Don't look here, and it will be a swift death. I promise!" He wanted to end the bug as fast as possible because they can call their horde with a screech. They mostly traveled in groups, but this one seemed to be an exception. After coming close, Creed stabbed the dagger in its neck with full force. The mantis' head got decapitated before the mantis could even scream. [Purple-Mantis Killed] [Gained Saturation Point +0.1] [Gained Soul Crystal +1 ] A red glow enveloped his body and then disappeared the next moment, which made him refreshed.

Serpent grunts and tries stabbing Megan again, but Megan ducked, kicking her ass. Megan brushed serpent's feet and her feet separated from the floor, and landed back on the floor. Megan took the knife from her and stabbed it on her thigh, Serpent groaned in pain. "I? Tiny little Ant?" Megan Scoffs. "I may look tiny and small, but if you have watched or played the game mortal Kombat, then you must know I am Sonya blade, the roster female fighter" Megan said and gave Serpent an axe kick, landing her boot directly on the serpent's head.

Readying his Mantis Punch, Mantis easily smashed the Land Rover’s windshield before extending his hand into the car, reaching for Sachin. Mantis was considered to be a one of a kind expert in the martial arts community. Sachin had just left the Golden Pagoda and pulled out two metal hooks from his shoulder blades, so he was quite heavily injured. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Sachin to have any strength left, hence Mantis was confident in his ability to kill him during this time. However, the instant Mantis reached a hand inside, Sachin, who had been resting, abruptly opened his eyes. He could be seen casually lifting his hand to grab Mantis’ fingers.

"I won't let go." Rhydian smiled through the blood on his lips. "You never have to." The Twin Blades merged into one brilliant white sword. Its light pierced the heavens. The King of the Void looked at the weapon. For the first time... It took a single step backward. "You forged..." Its voice carried something unfamiliar. "...the Blade of Beginning." The Creator smiled. "No. They did." The white blade released a pulse of light that spread across the collapsing world. Dead trees bloomed. Broken stone became green with life. The frightened Gatekeepers felt hope returning to their hearts. Even the widening crack in the sky stopped growing.

Their optical sensors shattered instantly, their synthetic bodies flying across the room and crashing into the digital-jukebox in a shower of sparks and synthetic coolant. "He's not using a data-port!" a terrified patron screamed from under a table. "He's fighting offline!" The remaining two Disciples activated their Mantis-Blades—glowing, high-frequency energy swords that extended from their forearms. They lunged at Caleb in perfect, synchronized mechanical synchronization.
