"Say, old man—" Jeremy began, but he was quickly cut off.

"Don't call me an old man!" Owen retorted, his voice a mix of irritation and mock indignation.

"Fine, Prince Owen," Jeremy teased, a playful grin spreading across his face. "Have you ever fought a werewolf before?"

"Dumbass... of course! We were literally at war in times past," Owen replied, rolling his eyes at the question.

"Okay then, during those times, have you ever encountered an individual who possessed an athletic physique and fi

    The swing came up toward his chest. Toward his heart. McCoy had nothing left to throw. No card, no maneuver, no distance between himself and what was coming. All he could manage, in that fraction of a second before impact, was a look. Just a look, directed at Typhon's eyes. The expression was quiet, and heavy, and said everything words couldn't. *You said you'd keep your promise.* Typhon's eyes flickered. Something passed through them—regret, maybe. Quick and honest. But it was already too late. His arm was in motion, and he was not the kind of being who stopped things mid-course. Except — McCoy's world inverted. He was airborne, flipped sideways in an instant, landing hard but intact several meters to the left. He lay there a moment, chest heaving, trying to make sense of what had just happened. Then he turned his head, scanning the space around him, searching for whatever, whoever, had just pulled him out of death's path. A voice arrived before the figure did. "You still can

    Soren noticed this shift in an instant.There was a moment when his movements slowed, not physically slowing down but instinctively; for the first time since the fight had begun, he paused.Ray had moved in front of him. He placed a hand on Soren's chest."Enough." It was quiet but held an unmistakable finality to it. He pushed; actually released, a concentrated explosion of golden fire which detonated at point-blank range. There was no beam or flash—only a violent impact.Soren's body bent at an awkward angle, then was propelled downward by the force of that explosion like a comet streaking across the sky, before crashing onto the planet's surface. Upon impact, the entire state shifted, causing a shockwave to radiate outwards creating a perfect circle and leveling anything in its path.Dust, flames, silence.For a moment.Then, a cough escaped from Soren as he slowly forced himself back to his feet; he supported himself on one knee while using one arm for support; his other arm held

    Ray remained motionless for a moment until he held one hand up to create gold, blinding fire from nothing to smash the two rods together. Rather than anything being reflected or destroyed by this act, they simply ceased to exist.After Ray created fire, the shockwave created by that event shattered the city for as far away as you could see. Four multi-colour chains of fire blasted from the centre of the city to everywhere trees burned.When Soren appeared behind ray, he was compressed red energy; he whipped his arm around and swung.Ray barely turned his head to look at Soren's fist, but it didn’t really matter since when Soren's fist hit the ground, the ground fell apart as if a meteorite hit it, leaving it as a crater.Ray didn’t move from where he was standing, he couldn't; Soren punched him in the chest with no movement relative to Ray."Is this what you have to offer," remarked Ray.Soren's eyes bulged.Then Soren brought more red compressed energy towards himself until he create

    A giant crystal box made up of ice exploded into existence around them, creating a perfect dome structure. Its walls were made of very thick glass-like crystal that perfectly reflected the entire length of a single wall so many times that all of the iterations of itself were stretched out into nothingness. Although the box appeared very fragile in appearance, the immense pressure created from this ice box was anything but fragile or weak!As Noctis exhaled, he could see his breath in a fog."What the f—?" he said under his breath.Frost then said quietly, "It is about your ability to endure…and your willingness to learn."Then—He exhaled.One breath.Not air.The breath was death.Suddenly, an enormous, forceful gust of icy wind raced toward and hit Noctis before he could even process what was happening, creating an overwhelming force that knocked him down.His eyes went wide.His body screamed.Instantly, Noctis focused on moving his magical aura through his body; he attempted to cr

  • Chapter 163 (A special gift?)

    "I'll be with you," Mundan quickly added, as if he sensed Jeremy's resistance, "to help ease any tension between you and the Goddesses." Jeremy did not voice his disapproval. He didn't feel anything positive toward them; no curiosity, no longing, nothing — just distance and some kind of darkness underneath it. "I don't need them. I've got the system. I've got me. I don't need anybody else." He thought. Mundan scrutinized him closely. Then he spoke again. "The darkness in your heart has increased, and it will have a negative effect on your power." He stopped for a moment, "For example, I detect trace amounts of celestial energy within you." Jeremy stared blankly and said nothing; yet, he knew. Mundan continued, "This energy of course was taken from the bodies of celestial beings." The air around them appeared to have gotten colder. "The method by which you take this energy is destructive," said Mundan. Jeremy winced as he felt the tension in his jaw. "But, it works," was al

    We need to keep going—we don't have as much time as you might think". There wasn't a sense of urgency in Mundan's tone but the passage of time seemed to shift after he spoke. Jeremy stayed silent. He stepped forward. That was enough of an answer. A soft light formed around their feet. It wasn't blinding; however, it was warm - almost as if it were alive. The light encase Jeremy and Mundan creating a cocoon-like effect that took them above the unending white. They were gone. When the light disappeared, Jeremy was instantly aware of his surrounding location. He knew that this wasn't where he had discovered earlier. The Celestial Realm from earlier was empty and enormous; the Celestial Realm from earlier was pure but cold (and large). The Celestial Realm he was now standing in---was alive. They stood on an enormous expanse of comforting ground that was shaped from light. The shimmering ground felt different than how earth does, but the ground was very solid (in a safe manner), g
