Chapter 71~~ Demon Unleashed ~~Prime City, Dhemistaria…Clop! Clop! Clop!The sound of dense bone striking stones filled the cobblestone bridge that led to Prime City proper. Lone horses and carriages moved in to and fro on the bridge, likewise pedestrians.Several Myriad 4 Imperial guards patrolled the large open gate that led into the city from the bridge. Their job was to thoroughly inspect the individuals, including the carriages and goods, going in and out of the city.Some of those that were just coming into Prime city for the first time, were momentarily startled by appearance of the Imperial guards. The guards possessed the same facial features, down to the color of their irises and shape of their nose. Every Imperial guard by the gate were literally the same. It was only one Imperial guard assigned to the gate, specifically because of his blessing. He could make multiple clones of himself and they all had the same stamina, agility, strength and mind as him. No trait was di

Chapter 73~~ Chaos ~~Prime City, Dhemistaria…The portals that led to Purgatory, the land of bones, realm of the undead, closed up at once. The dark skeletal beings of the undead that had crawled out of them, followed Ulak from behind, their joints tweaking and cracking every now and then.As Ulak soared further into the city with nothing blocking his path, the undead had to climb over buildings or crawl through thin alleys. They didn’t let the blockades go to waste though. They burst into houses to hunt the inhabitants. But as they went from house to house, they couldn’t find a single soul; pet animals weren’t excluded. If the skeletal beings were alive, they’d have reacted rashly in frustration, but no, they were damned creatures of the undead. They felt no emotion, no pain; nothing. Their only purpose was to follow Ulak and eliminate anyone or anything that stood in his way.“I take my words back, the Dhemistarians are but smart, they are nothing but beings of cowardice,” Ul

Chapter 75~~ Farewell ~~5!4!3!2!……1!They were all reluctant to call the last number. They all felt like they were in a trance or a dream. What they were experiencing was deemed impossible and somewhat frightening.The countdown should have begun over two minutes ago, but the Commentator stalled by commenting on how long the fight had been and how surprised he was with the turn of events. Not that he didn’t want to be just and end the match there, but the piercings glares from the Walker family in the audience made him reconsider. The Elite Curse users could do something terrible to his family and they wouldn’t be judged for it. That was why he inconspicuously stalled for time, in hopes that Derek would rise to his feet. But no, the demon wolf was as dormant as a lifeless person.However, he felt bad for Ian, who stared at him with a perplexed look. And the authorities could also suspect that something cunny was going on. That was when he decided to begin the countd

Chapter 77~~ The Chase ~~Huessen, Dhemistaria…It was two quarter past seven in the evening, the two suns formed semicircles behind the horizon with a continuous spew of their warm orange glow, filling the town with serenity and warmth.Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!A pair of footprints were left imprinted on the sandy ground as a figure dashed across the just-ploughed farm field. The farm was only a square of thirty by thirty meters, and by the speed at which the figure moved, it was only a short matter of seconds for them to scale through.Their long black leather coat fluttered noisily and relentlessly behind them as they ran across the interlocked street, towards an alley. A large hood was draped over the figure’s head, obscuring one from seeing their face to make out their gender. But aside the normal shadow casted over their face from the hood, their face was so dark, it was as though they had no head at all.In a swift crisscross of legs, the figure tilted to the right, but

Chapter 79~~ What a night ~~Knoxville, Dhemistaria…Ian ran his fingers back across his silver-white hair with a sigh. He was walking down the street when he passed by a local shop at his right arm side. The shop was constructed with long sticks and tarps; it was like a makeshift tent. And since the front side wasn’t covered, Ian could clearly see what the vendor was selling. Mirrors of different sizes were arranged in rows and columns, reflecting the twilight hue of the clear moonlit sky.What caught Ian's attention was the odd fact that he could see his reflection clearly on all the mirrors as though it was daytime. Fancied, he stopped his stroll and turned to look at the mirrors with squinted eyes. He felt it to be such a weird but yet amusing phenomenon.He noticed his new faux hawk hairstyle with side undercuts and he smiled. It took him back to a year ago when he applied for the position of a librarian after graduation. He had to cut his hair so as to look neat before the gru
