We charged at eachother with great speed, and as if we had read eachothers mind, we performed the same attack in unison. Both our fist met eachothers cheeks with incredible force, his punch sending ripples through the muscles and flesh of my face. Blood trickled down my nostrils and I glanced up to see that Sherman had the same bleeding nose. After that violent exchange, the boss room has fallen silent. Sherman's bioengineered form still stood strong and firm as we both descended gently to the ground, sizing eachother. Thud, thud, thud, thud. I could feel my heart pounding heavily in my chest, blood rushing with adrenaline as every fiber of my anticipated for the next strike. He jogged from side to side, each bounce heavy as it shook the ground just a tee-bit. My eyes never left him— Sherman, could very well be the strongest fore I have ever faced till date. He wasn't just strong and daring with all his bio enhancements, he had a strong sense of confidence and arrogance even a

"Shall we go?" Thanks to The Apostles hardend and sigmalike attitude, the members of the strike team didn't have any other choice than to seeth in their questions and stay silent. While being escorted, a dying and desperate voice called out my name which stopped me dead in my tracks. "R-R-Reno Renly... E-Class". I spun around on my heels to see who it was— Trooper. He had finally waken up from his unconscious state, his body still roughed up and battered but this time it was covered in all soughts of bandages and cast. He was craddled up in Tanks arm like a helpless baby. He was helpless and without strength to perform any task of any kind. "You... You have my respect... Huh..." He said with one last breath and passed out again. The room fell silent for a couple seconds, that is until I turned around and encouraged The Apostle and his agents to continue walking. I didn't say anything back. Why? Because its crass to give respect only to the strong just because they are stron

Chaos reigned at the port. The creature— a hulking, monstrous figure with jagged claws and glowing red eyes that contrasted with its pale blueish skin which formed a purple lining around its eyes. It tore through the docks, slaughtering anything with a breath of life. The death toll skyrocketed drastically in a matter of minutes and the survivors could only pray for a miracle. Someone, anyone to intervene. A port worker stumbled and fell to his knees, his body trembling as the creature loomed over him. Its arm raised, ready to strike when suddenly a metal wrench flew through the air, hitting the creature square on its head. The creature paused, its head slowly turning to face the man who had thrown the wrench. The worker stood his ground with a gritted teeth, though his hands shook violently. "Run, son! Now's your chance!" The man shouted, his voice cracking with desperation. But the worker on the ground was paralyzed, his body refusing to move. Fear rooting him to the spot as t

Step. Step. Step. Aside from the sound of my feet crushing the gravel beneath me, the seaport was silent. It wasn't the peaceful kind of silence, but the thick, choking kind that settles after a brutal storm. The creature stood over me, it's chest heaving up and down like a deadly drumbeat. Blood — if one could even call the thick, purple liquid pumping through the veins visible around the reddened damaged areas of its body. My gaze remained fixed on it as I approached. The Calamity Creature had broken all expectations I had for it. Being not just strong, but fast and the crazy part of it all was its ability to pick out weak points like a skilled fighter — a brutal one. But in that moment, I wasn't thinking about any of that. I exhaled slowly while raising my palm with just about the same speed. Faint golden lines curled lazily into my outstretched from the Forever Core and then into my gauntlet. "Alright, you're finished..." I muttered under my breath, my voice calm and st

Tti-ring. [Compass Needle Activated][Target Name: Golden Guardian][Alias: Jordan Smith][Class: Estimated S-CLASS][Category: Cosmic Type][Enemies Defeated: 0/1]"Huh...!" I looked at him, his eyes were still peeled on me like he was planning on staring a whole through me. [Ongoing Call: Boomerang Man] ["What? Whats going on?! Talk to me Reno!"]I cleared my throat as I stared at back a him, his face slowly transitioning into a grim stare of death. Thud, thud, thud, thud. My pulse pounded aggressively against the walls of their vessels as fear began to creep in from the back of my neck. Golden Guardian wants to kill me!. "Jake, Jake... What do I do?", I whispered with panic. ["Do about what?"]"Golden Guardian, he wants to attack me..." ["He what!?? Why would he do that!"]"Jake I'm telling you he wants to attack me, what the fuck do I do...
