Chapter 24: The Butcher of Life Nine ​The rain didn't just fall on Julian; it seemed to avoid him, parting around his frame as if afraid to touch the darkness radiating from his skin. The "Cleanup Team"—six men in tactical grey ceramic armor, wielding high-frequency pulse rifles—halted ten yards from the wreckage. They were professionals, trained to bag supernatural anomalies, but they weren't prepared for the ancient pressure now flattening the grass around the car. ​"Target identified," the lead mercenary barked into his comms. "Dr. Valerius is non-compliant. Engaging with stasis rounds."

Hunter: The road in was long and dumb quiet, the kind of quiet that tells you everything worth knowing has gone to ground. I kept the bike under the trees and moved on foot, boots chewing at the moss. Xavier’s words looped in my head: Find her before he does. Short, sharp, no room for mistakes. “Beta, are you sure that coming here is the right option?” One of the gammas, Brian, asked. “Are you going to question the Alpha, Brian?” I asked, and he shook his head.

We’re not sure if it’s because I’m only half a god or if I just don’t know what to look for, but I’ve been practicing when I can. It’s been a few weeks and nothing has changed with Jax, at least nothing too noticeable. His healing is equal to an alpha’s but not as quick as mine. And even though his hearing and sense of smell seems to be about equal to mine, that’s about it. I’m on my way to the training grounds to meet up with Jax and walk home with him. I’ve been training with Edward and the members of delta team and today we did some one-on-one fighting. Including Edward, there’s twelve people on our team and only a third are women.

I'm at peace with our decision but I hate seeing my friends suffer. "Damn you, take me!" I yell to the sky. Magic bursts behind me but I don't look back. Lightning strikes again and hits Ashrac. His body is tossed high and I have hope that the Goddess has taken our offer and will save him. His dragon explodes from his human body with a burst of light that's impossible to look at. "Ahhhh, hell," screams Sarn and the magic behind me bursts again. I dare to glance back. Sierra and Sarn are the most incredibly brilliant purple dragons. "What the hell," I mutter.

“So you the brains behind Joshua. It’s fine. I will do it, but under one condition: if you give me the name of the hacker Joshua is using.” “Fine, his name is Ghost. He will call you,” she smiles as he attempts to grab her hand and kiss her; she pushes him away. “Do that with Winter, not me.” She turns around and walks out the door. “Hey, Mr. X, give me information on the guys who attempted to kill Winter.” “Sir, they are known as the Killers. They are contractors; they were not shooting at her. They were shooting at you.” “Why me?”

It’s a full crew: me, both my mates, Alexander, Rowen, Summer, Jared, Evanora, Edward, Jareth, Citra, Michael, Hawk, Jaiden, Meredith, Gael, Hakeem, Charlie, Isaac, and Lacy. “You ready for this?” Hermes asks. The bravado is gone. There are dark circles under his eyes—something I didn’t think gods even had. He looks… worried. That’s not a good sign. “As we’ll ever be,” Xander says. Hermes nods. “Everyone link hands. Two of you need to touch me directly.” We all form the chain. When he’s sure we’re connected, Hermes grabs Arya’s hand on one side and Jaiden’s on the other.

After finishing a bottle of liquor, Hector, clearly busy with other matters, was about to leave when something crossed his mind. "Oh, right. Since you'll be staying in Avesburgh for a while, let me give you a number. She's like a student of mine, and you might've heard of her. She's Xena Summers, the goddess of war. If you need anything while I'm traveling around, you can reach out to her." Xena Summers. Felix's expression turned odd. He hadn't expected that the person supporting Xena was none other than Hector himself. What a small world.

The second, Honey entered the battle, and all the rogues charged on her. They left everyone else but targeted only Honey, Neo (Ruben’s wolf), and Tank (Ethan’s wolf). I could say that Neo and Tank were targeted because they were trying to protect Honey. So, everything….. Everything that happened here…. Poisoning…. Dark magic…. Dark potions given to everyone…. Everything was to kill Xyla from the beginning till now. My hands trembled hard when suddenly an explosion happened on the screen. The screen vibrated harshly, showing the signal distraction.

They were the most powerful unit on the planet, a bridge built of blood and magic. "Then we make sure that handshake never happens in the dark," Xander said. "Emma, expand the campaign. We need the world to be so familiar with our faces that Haxon’s 'monsters' look like the frauds they are. We don't just fight the Blight. We drown it out."

The second phase was a war between 4 teams, each teams have a color and consist of 40 person, AHMET ROSILIA and ANGY were in the same team the bleu team the game was each team should defend her flag and in the same time destroying the other teams flag, it was very quick ANGY attacked the red team and managed to steal the flag without they noticed , ROSILIA sent an arrow and destroyed the yellow flag, and AHMET took down the army of the green flag by his own, a berserk defended the bleu flag from the attackers and he managed to take down 20 attackers by his own power without any help. The last phase was a one versus one combat all our heroes managed to win until the last 8. AHMET versus the D
