Escanor's Power Novels & Stories

I saw Zen adjusted his posture and became more focused. “One of them is an inscribed steel sword. It was chopped by the Church of the Eternal Scorching Sun. It comes with purifying and effects. It is the enemy of Ghosts, Wraiths, Zombies, and other undead creatures. It can even also use it for three years. Of course, its sharpness is enough to kill." The woman's voice varied in volume, an obvious attempt to hide her gender. Ah its very effective against necromancers.

I'll let everyone know that the 'Victory Queen' is a monster who abandoned her own father! Alexander tried to step in again, but I held up my hand to stop him. I looked at the man in front of me, his face twisted and sweaty, and I could not help but smile a little. "You're on drugs." I was not asking him. I knew it was true. His smug look turned to pure fear. Having been a lawyer for so long, I had learned to notice every little thing, even when I was mad. He was all over the place, talking nonsense, shaking and sweating like crazy, and skinny as a stick.

"He thinks if he looks at me long enough, I'll stand up and apologize for everything." "He's an empty suit, Scar," Roman growled, his body shifting under the bench, his shoulder pressing hard against mine to block Marcus's view. "He’s trying to use the ghost of his power because he knows the real thing is gone. Let him look. Let him see what he can't have anymore."

Marcus deployed the scanner low and slow. "The fusing mechanism reads thermal and electronic mass signatures simultaneously," he said, pulling the data. "The threshold for detonation is set to catch anything large enough to be useful — vehicles, large groups, anything above individual wolf mass." He watched the readings. "A single wolf moving carefully might get through. A supply transport won't." "And if one goes," Xander said.

He's coming for his results. A deep rumble shook the floor. Roric, still frantically working at the silver altar, yelled over the growing hum. Alpha! The energy is maxing out! The armor you're wearing is pulling too much from the energy lines. If Elara doesn't stop the connection, she'll be vaporized! Kael looked from Torvin to Elara. She was shaking, her eyes rolled back as she tried to keep the power flowing. She was the only thing protecting them from the remaining enhanced scouts outside.

“Not enough?” I scoff, then take it from him, the weight of it absurd. Dangerous. “You can’t be serious.” “You can use that tonight,” he says calmly, nodding toward the scanner built into the armrest beside my seat. “See something you want, just scan it.” I stare at him. “Nothing here will be able to max it out,” he adds, voice low and indulgent. “But if you need another…” His gaze flicks to my mouth, then back to my eyes. “All you have to do is ask, Dot.”

I said, smiling. “So I need to scan your eye, Isabella,” Bryce declared. “Which eye do you want to scan?” “I guess it doesn’t really matter, but let’s do the left one,” I replied. “Can Zander be added on as well?” “We sure can,” Bryce responded. “I’ll use the same scans for Zander’s apartment as well.” Bryce quickly scanned both of our eyes. “I’ll go over all the details on the security features tomorrow. We’re not hooking everything up until then.”

He checked the tension of a powerful, compact crossbow, its bolts tipped with a paralytic toxin derived from a desert scorpion. Kael worked on his tablet, now encased in a rugged shell of woven fiber and resin. He synced it with a handful of small, crystal-based devices the Rememberer tinkerers had made. "Resonance dampeners," one of the tinkerers explained. "They won't make you invisible to scanners, but they will make you look like background noise. Like a glitch."

"Could you let me take a look at the product?" Even Timothy frowned this time. "Ms. Jessie, this isn't the time for games. Please step aside." Jessie clicked her tongue, but still said politely, "The ocular scan tech works by scanning a patient's body and providing basic data. It then cross-references with the medical database to instantly give a read on their condition, easing the workload for doctors. Is that right?" Timothy blinked in surprise. He subconsciously glanced at Jack. Jack didn't so much as glance back at him, but his presence was enough to make the air tense.

Heira paced angrily within me, and I knew any moment now, he would push out. The air suddenly went still, and an ominous silence fell among the ruins of the pack. Cold air rushed in from all sides, and strange shadows began to take shape around me. Scythe's power had increased since the last time. More larger and thicker lumps of shadow penetrated the air now, cloning themselves... more than one Scythe stood before me, ready to attack. "You called me." His voice was unusually deep and menacing, resonating like thunder in the environment. But I cared less; he could display an array of powers as much as he wanted, but he was going down today.
