Catherine patiently waited for the two teenage guards to lower their guard.One of them dragged the reptilian’s aside while the other was boiling tea on an electric stove.Once they poured tea in cups and started drinking, Catherine suddenly rushed into their view.“Twin Gravitas Punch!”Her fists were upon them fast.They still managed to unsheathe their swords and block her punches.The tea cups fell and broke.The swords shattered to pieces as they couldn’t use aura in time, and both the girls felt oppressed by immense strength, but they were able to release aura.Both their auras combined and pushed Catherine back.“Tsk,” She was forced to jump back.“Who the hell are you?” the teenagers felt pain in their joints and muscles as though their bodies had grown heavier.“You both are sisters, aren’t you?” Catherine asked.“Yeah, so?”“And you don’t recognize your long-lost elder sister?” Catherine’s words made them look at each other. “I’m drowning in disappointment right now.”“We do

The ground rose and fell in a meter tall waves as Minerva tried to close in on Sheryl and Serena.Her feet kept sinking, despite her using aura to run fast.Even though she sank waist-deep into the ground, she pushed herself through the liquid ground and reached the solid surface where the battle was taking place.The shockwaves, sound and energy bursts made it very hard to keep her eyes and ears open.She was forced to release all of her aura to shield herself.“STOP IT!” she shouted, but her voice wasn’t heard.Frustrated, she used an attack that her mother had taught her. She punched the air with a half-closed fist. “Snake Shot!”A giant snake-like energy manifested and tried to devour both Sheryl and Serena.“Ah?” Serena momentarily looked toward the incoming attack.Sheryl used the opportunity to grab her with a vine and threw her into the snake attack.Serena was devoured by the energy snake, which then exploded from within.Minerva was surprised by her own attack. “T-That was c

After Lily left, Mickey asked Ingrid, “If you know who my mother is, then tell me.”“I can’t,” Ingrid was quick to reply. “You should stop asking about your mother. His Majesty does not like it when his children ask for their mothers.”Mickey smiled a bit angrily. “I became the crown prince, and I still am not eligible to learn my mother’s identity. Personally, I don’t really care who my mom is, but I don’t like that I’m being kept in the dark when even Lily knows her identity.”“Then why don’t you go and ask Lily yourself?” Ingrid said, slightly unsheathing his sword with the tip of his thumb.The royal knight Novick arrived there, and he was giving a challenging look at Ingrid. “The king isn’t here. This is the perfect time to conquer Hawkers and make it yours, Crown Prince Mickey. Let’s deal with the Knight Captain together.”Mickey, however, got up and walked away.“Do you not like what I said?” Novick asked.“I’m not foolish enough to not see through your act,” Mickey replied bef

There were a thousand versions of Sanctus fighting Elissa and Casil.Denver unleashed more than a thousand streaks of lightning which burst out of his body and sought Sanctus like they were ordered to.Denver hoped that his attacks would do something.At least distract Sanctus for a second and thus give Casil and Elissa an opening they could exploit.But all of the lightning streaks did not even reach Sanctus.Just the shockwaves coming from the exchanges between Sanctus and the royal siblings were so destructive that even Denver’s lightning streaks could not penetrate their way through.“Tch,” Denver frowned. Instead of sending so many streaks, he sent just a few thick lightning streaks this time.Even so, none of the lightning streaks reached Sanctus but simply disintegrated into thin air.“Even after I put spiritual energy, the attacks are still getting dispersed. What am I missing? Why are my attacks not potent enough to get through to them?”Denver kept watching them fight for th

The real Sanctus showed up before Denver.“The full red mask with thick black horns,” Denver uttered. “Are you the real one?”“I’m real if you think I’m real. I trained those four for almost two years,” Sanctus said, “just for this day. I don’t want you disturbing their fight. In fact you should get along with them since they are going to be part of the thirteen kings and will rule the world under me.”Sanctus noticed that Denver wasn’t even looking at him but was staring at the ongoing battle. He frowned as Elissa and Casil kept getting more cuts.“They did not help you when you were young,” Sanctus said. “They put you through tough times at the excuse of making you stronger. If you had died, they wouldn’t have shed a single tear for you. So, why are you feeling bad watching them get hurt?”Denver shouted, “We still have unfinished business! So you better not die!”His voice reached Casil.A past moment came to his mind.Both he and Alita were on top of the light house in the night.
