Chapter 21: Responsibility
Duke stepped forward.The golden flame around his body blurred into motion as he rushed the bear. The moment he entered range, his right arm swung in a brutal horizontal arc.The saber flared gold. And Kitakuma answered instantly.Its massive right arm swept inward in a wide counter — claws wrapped in burning crimson flame.CLANG!Steel kissed the claw. Golden sparks exploded against crimson ones at the point of impact.Grrraaaalll!Duke’s biceps flared, veins rising beneath torn cloth as he forced the saber forward inch by inch.“Your skill is to nullify mana, Kitakuma…” Duke snarled through clenched teeth.His back muscles flexed violently — lats, trapezius, rhomboids tightening as the strain snapped the fabric across his torso.The blade cut deeper. Then—SHHHK!The saber tore clean through the bear’s arm. Kitakuma’s
Chapter 22: The weight of a Miracle
Snarlll…With a tremor in its massive frame, the bear lowered itself. And then—It knelt, like a soldier before a commander.“You’ve never met me…” I narrowed my eyes slightly.“…And yet you kneel?”I didn’t understand the mechanism behind it. What system bound it? What instinct commanded it? But that could wait.The human was dying. Half his torso was torn open. His breaths were shallow and irregular. I stepped toward him. The scorched scent of burned earth curled into my nose as the smoke slowly thinned.He was gasping… hanging on the edge of life and eternal sleep.I crouched beside him. His eyes never left mine. They were heavy…not with fear…with grief; as if he carried a mountain inside his chest beneath those hardened muscles.I had neve
Chapter 23: The Persistent walls
When the report shattered a heart, Bearda responded with movement.The capital trembled under the sound of rattling hooves.Hunters from across the continent of Regilios arrived, answering the royal decree sent to their respective nations.By midday, the palace courtyard was crowded.The iron gates swayed open. Two guards bearing the emblem of Bearda stood at attention, backs straight, spears planted firmly against the ground.Beyond the gates, carefully maintained gardens stretched along both sides of the stone path. Horses moved slowly across the loose gravel, carrying their riders toward the tall white palace ahead.Four towers rose from the corners of the rectangular structure, banners of Bearda fluttering in the warm breeze.The path widened near the entrance. Four thick pillars of cracked stone supported the terrace of the first floor as golden light shimmered from the cracks.Soldiers stood stationed at every corner of the front yard.From beneath the terrace shade, a broad-sho
Chapter 24: Recoil of the Souls
Duke halted his punch mid-motion. His footing slipped slightly as the momentum threw him forward, but he steadied himself.“What now…?”His eyes narrowed in irritation. One of the emoji builders stepped forward. On its screen, an expression formed…one brow lowered, the other slightly raised.Then its free arm curled… and slowly pushed into its own screen.Duke’s eyes widened.The surface of the screen rippled like disturbed water. Half of the arm disappeared inside the flickering distortion.“What the hell…?”The arm reached deeper into the ripple, then began pulling back. Something round emerged first, a small metallic head. Then…a hilt came out, a very familiar one. The ripple collapsed as the blade slid fully out of the screen.Duke inhaled sharply.“…My saber.”The builder held it toward him without hesitation. Duke stared at i
Chapter 25: The Edge of Reconciliation
Helis particles drifted faintly behind me as I reappeared atop one of the towers attached to the habitat wall.The moment I looked down, my jaw dropped.“…What…”I swallowed.“…What happened here?”Behind the throne, a crater scarred the ground. Multiple tree trunks stood headless, their severed tops missing. Columns of Helis oozed upward from the wounds like blue smoke.With another Helis Step, my feet touched the grass.I turned slowly, scanning the habitat again, trying to process what I was seeing.Bonk! Bonk! Bonk! Bonk!One of the builders was hammering the ground near the crater with rapid, precise swings. Its arms moved so fast they were almost invisible. Another was doing the same to one of the sliced tree trunks.With every strike, Helis flickered. The soil slowly knitted back together. They were so focused that they didn’t even notice me.“Oh…”I exhaled softly.“They’re already doing recovery tasks.”But the human…and the other two builders…they weren’t here.I searched th
Chapter 26: A King’s Apology
“Oh—he’s waking up…”Duke’s eyes snapped open. They fluttered once…twice…then a pair of luminous blue eyes hovered above him.Without hesitation, his muscles coiled. He kiped up from the ground and twisted backwards, landing in a guarded stance.The small blue monster stood before him. Its blue fur and blue tail swayed in the air. The white paws hung beside its body and those eyes…very familiar…Recognition struck instantly.“The one from the meteors…”His gaze darted to the side. His saber lay on the grass near the creature. Duke’s posture tightened, and he tightened his fists as his arms rose upward; he prepared himself mentally to take on any sudden attacks.Krrhaaa!The monster let out a sharp cry. And a human voice echoed inside Duke’s head.“Are you alright?”Duke’s head snapped to the side, eyes searching for a second human. But there was no one else.“Who’s talking?” he shouted.The monster also turned its head, glancing around as if searching.Krrrhaaa?Duke stepped back unco
Chapter 27: The Jingle of Bloodlust
I sprang to my feet as the roars in my ears grew louder. The ground itself felt restless. I was about to leap toward the wall when Duke’s voice stopped me mid-motion.“What is it?”I glanced back at him.“A tribal war. Among the monsters.”He stood instantly. Through shared perception, I could feel it…he was ready to move with me. But there was no visible exit from the habitat, no stairs, no gates.I extended my paw toward him.“Grab on. Fast!!”He slid his sword into the sheath at his back and latched onto my paw without hesitation.“Helis Step.”The world snapped as blue Helis flared beneath my feet.Blink!We reappeared atop one of the towers attached to the habitat wall. For me, it was natural. But for him, his knees buckled the moment we landed.He dropped to one hand, breathing hard. And I felt it…the nausea, the disorientation in his body. His stomach felt twisted inside as if he would vomit at any time. But he managed.“What the hell was that?” he growled as he lifted his head
Chapter 28: Borrowed Strength
The center of the training grounds hummed with the cries of steel. The gallery stood empty, guarded by capital soldiers at the gates. Commander Gabriel observed from the edge of the stage, measuring the strength of the hunters summoned from across Bearda.Clank! Clank!A red-haired female warrior dashed forward, her daggers blazing with purple flames. She stepped in sharply, torso low, right hand carving a horizontal slash in reverse grip.The blade hissed toward the armored tank.Clank!He braced it with his forearm shield. Purple fire collided against green energy.Without pause, the tank’s longsword descended in a vertical arc toward her face.She pivoted on her lead foot, spinning beneath the blade. Her second dagger flipped in her wrist and thrust toward his torso.“Shock Absorption!”A green outline flared around the tank’s body.Purple and green sparks erupted at the center stage like grounded fireworks.From the shaded benches, the gathered hunters watched carefully.“Her foot
Chapter 29: The Emergency Hunting Unit
The sun leaned westward as Emilia approached the Palace of Bearda.The courtyard was alive with disciplined motion. Soldiers stood in formation beneath the fading gold light. Steel shimmered. Boots struck stone.Among them stood two familiar figures.The red-haired warrior.And the armored tank from earlier.The moment Emilia stepped within reach, the redhead rushed forward.“Are you alright?”She grabbed Emilia’s forearms, fingers warm and firm.Up close, Emilia noticed what she hadn’t earlier in the training yard.Ruria’s outfit was far from standard regulation armor.A tight leather bodice hugged her curves. The leather cinched high at the waist as a tight black trouser ran into the laced leather boots till her knee. Her red hair complemented the whole combination as she looked like a cherry coated in dark chocolate.Emilia blinked. “I’m fine…”Van stepped in next, heavy boots scraping stone. His thick arm landed over her shoulder with a confident thud.“You were insane in front o
Chapter 30: The King’s Forest –– I
The hunting unit advanced deeper into Naturia. Blades parted tall grass. Boots crushed fallen leaves. Armor brushed against bark.And above them—The floating land hovered in silent defiance of reason.A vast chunk of earth suspended in mid-air, glowing faintly blue, Helis veins flickering across its underside like lightning trapped beneath stone while the Helis layer above made it look like a glowing bulb.Even seasoned soldiers stole glances upward.“…So that’s the dungeon?” Van muttered under his breath.Their steps slowed unconsciously as they crossed an open stretch of grassland beneath the shadow of the hovering domain.Wssshh… Wssshh…Kiria’s
