Defiant Chapter 32
Clifford heaves a deep sigh, sitting atop a tall tree within the mansion, he gaze at the number of people gathered at the place in search of safety. It reminded him of those news he’d watch about events unfolding in some warring countries. Except this time, he was a part of it, though in another world.“How sad. It’s almost no different from where I came from.”The words tasted bitter in his tongue, having compared his old home to a place that he still considers a land of fantasy and dreams. But it was getting harder to think that way, considering all the things that had happened to him.Helpless babes clinging to their mothers, crying children in search or their family, held by some stranger trying to help. All of them, covered in dirt and disheveled.He winced at the familiar scenery of despair that she only saw on television. Experiencing it first hand brought a heavier weight in his chest, making it hard to breathe because of that twisting and squeezing inside of it.“But I heard
Defiant Chapter 33
Arty released every binding spell he had in his arsenal.Blue encasing force fields, golden chains, and cages of pure white light sealed any being who move close enough to their group, not wanting to harm any of them as they’re certain those possessed enemies were innocent.Pedro followed the lead, using a similar method of his magic.An ice prison, a muddy earth, and a stone box were the ones he used to keep their opponents at bay.All the while, Jack, Marco, and Malver knocked out as many as they can.But no matter how many they took down or hold, more came, almost overwhelming them if not for their well-coordinated attacks. But this still prompted them to retreat to avoid getting surrounded.“I don’t think we can take this mission on our own.”Arty could see his mana bar already in half, and yet they were far off from winning, and there was also the case of the monstrous creature that appeared in front of them.They barely survived its first attack, but their three fighters took qu

Seeing the continues glitching in front of him, he can’t help but frown, having that sense of uncertainty and dread creeping into him.The message box showing error continued popping atop of every single refugee there. Also, the familiar purple aura fully engulfed each of them now.Then there’s the hooded person who released a sort of pulse, which seems to be the reason for it all. But what truly got to him was the exclamation point hovering above the person’s head.“Sir Clifford, aren’t we going to help the young heroes?”Hallor says, while keeping his gaze low in embarrassment and shame, since he understood they had already been told to wait.It amazed him how the two other men could stay calm and keep watch while all of that was happening.But seeing how the esteemed young heroes they look up to were having a hard time, along with the unknown creature wrecking havoc in the midst of all those innocent were making him itch for a fight.The lad stops when he did not get an answer from
Defiant Chapter 35
All ten additional heroes were useless against the mob of grotesque humanoids. No matter how many times they took them down, they just keep getting up. What’s worst, they were moving farther from the boss, because the number of enemies kept increasing.Both Sander and Arnold’s team were down and on their last leg and could barely hold on, and the first group consisting of Jack, Arty, Marco, Pedro, and the knight Malver still haven’t recovered yet.“This can’t be happening!”Sander now trembled before the face of the enemy.Not even with their combined strength of all their teams, added with their magical weapons, which doubled their power, were enough to win.They have never encountered a battle like this before, sure there were times they had trouble with some giant monsters, but nothing as hard as this.No matter how many they take down, all of them just keep coming back up, even stronger and more resilient than before.“Shit, this is unfair!”A beaten up Arnold groaned, having nea

The full moon was high above the sky, yet the rain continued to pour.Water streamed down the roads, making it harder to move, let alone run from one place to another.This was the reason the forty-year-old Clifford Ortis stayed standing in front of the thirty-two story building he was working at.It had been hours since he left the office, but he remained stuck there. He heaves a deep sigh, looking once more at his beat up watch his father gave him.Its small hands pointed at the eight, while the long one was on the six.“Thirty minutes before nine,” he mumbles, once again letting out a huff of disappointment. It had a been a tiring day, and he really wanted to take a good rest, especially since it was a Friday. Yet he still could not go home because of the weather. Eyes wandering around, he takes one more look at the large glass window of the nearby electronics store.He can see a woman on the screen of several televisions, all reporting about the recent disappearance of another stu

“Why does it feel so cold?”This is the first thing which came into Clifford’s mind. It did not bother him that his entire body remained lightweight. He could not distinguish up from down, turning each time he tried to move, which became his primary concern.From his own perspective, they’d been traversing the swirling vortex for almost an hour. Of course, he wasn’t sure of that, having no way of telling.He couldn’t see much, despite being surrounded by those different colored lights. Neither can he glimpse at the teen he held, as they kept turning. All he knew was that the lad had lost consciousness a while ago.Only when a sudden gust of wind, followed by a freezing chill, that he had to wince from the sensation. He hadn’t even blinked twice, but that certain moment was enough for him to lose sight of things.When he opened his eyes, they were no longer inside the whirlpool of color, instead they now floated in a never ending void of those mixed lights. White and black like curtain
Defiant Chapter 3
The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm golden glow over the landscape as the knight stood before the marching caravan, watching from the cliff of the hill.Sir Malver, a decorated and veteran warrior, headed this group. A man well into his thirties, he was a living testament to the countless battles and skirmishes of the hardships of the land. His once-youthful face now bore the marks of time, with lines etched across his brow and an expression that spoke of wisdom and experience. His beard, a lustrous gray, gave an air of gravity to his already commanding presence.His eyes, a deep-set pair of steely blue orbs, seemed to hold the weight of decades of hard-won knowledge through the years.Though aged, his athletic frame remained, broad shoulders and muscular build still hinted at the formidable warrior. His gait was determined, a reflection of the unwavering spirit that burned within him.Clad in battle-scarred armor that had seen its fair share of combat, the man’s imposing figu

Clifford groaned, stirring himself when he felt his back hit a bump from the sudden jolt on which he laid. He slowly opened his eyes, blinking a few times to adjust to the dim light seeping through a window. The sound of horses’ hooves and wheels rattling against the dirt.As he looked around, he realized that he had fallen asleep. He shivered, having those inkling sensations of teeth on him, remembering the relentless pain and agony he’d experience from the beasts, being continuously gnawed at and teared his body, feeding upon him.It took him sometime to recover from the traumatic event, gathering his thoughts to process his current situation. While staring at his hands, he examined himself, along with the life bar on his side. Thankfully, it was slowly regenerating. His points were now about one-fourth. The wounds he sustained had completely healed. Of course, the pain continued to harbor in his mind.Even if it was traumatizing, a good thing came out of that encounter. He confirme
