Seth backed up, reaching towards Kirin, and hefted him up on his back.

"Hey bud, I don't mean to disturb your nap but now's a really good time to wake up," Seth said under the strain and exhaustion.

Seth looked around him but it didn't matter, every tree, plant, bushel, or gathering of leaves seemed to wave and move as though responding to the Blood Vine.

Seth was unsure of where to place his foot, how to move, where to go, he doubted himself to survive, he wasn't even sure who he was anymore, he sighed inwardly deeply.

"If I'm going to die with a grown man napping on my back, I might as well make it as fun as when I visited the brothel for the first time," he said to himself, smiling sheepishly, he felt a new vigor course through him, that if he could survive just one more time, just once, then maybe he would pay the whore he visited last, in his defense she was done her job a little too well that Seth had forgotten where he had left his purse.

"This is going to hurt a bit" he whispe

    "Are you sure we're in the Central Alliance?" Kirin asked with a low tone as they both walked the streets, Kirin's expectations were crushed, he expected to see the beauty and art he saw in The Water Clan but instead, he was here looking at the slums and beggars that filled the streets, he wasn't sure what to make of them so he ignored them, even when they tried coming to beg him."Look ahead" Seth pointed out, just beyond the houses and the shacks of houses where people lived was another wall, this one didn't seem as big as the one outside had been but it was impressive nonetheless."Is that...the end? Is this it? The entire famed city?" Kirin turned to Seth demanding an explanation but Seth simply laughed as he smacked Kirin on the head."No you fool, the wall has a certain curvature, that's the second wall leading into the center of the City."So... We'll have to go through another gate then?" Kirin asked tiredly, he was already feeling demotivated after going through the ordeal of

  • Chapter 42. Departure.

    "We're gonna be late, hurry up" Kirin shouted as he lifted his bag across his shoulders, in the past two weeks he had been here, he had trained over and over again with Seth, they had significantly gotten stronger not because they fought themselves, but because they both went against Wistoria and had their asses handed to them every single time.Although it pained Kirin that he had never won a single fight against that mad woman, he was also happy that he could learn some skills from her.She wasn't here to see them off, but that didn't matter, they had been given admission into The Academy.The Academy was a renowned warrior school, funded by the Emperor himself, it was filled with nothing more than Nobles and the likes, children from high families gathered there to train and become fully-fledged warriors after three years.Some have the opportunity of joining the government ranks while others prefer to join the military, or go back to their families and start a business or lead the

    Footsteps sounded behind Kirin, he turned around and looked at Wistoria walking towards him, she unfolded her arms and clapped thrice."Good, very good" she smiled at Kirin who looked away from her. To him this didn't feel like a victory, just a win, a mere win, he felt no pleasure in it, nor did looking at Seth's unconscious body bring him any sense of relief, he simply just felt empty."Why the long face, you won," Wistoria said as she stood by his side."It doesn't feel... right" Kirin whispered, he was right of course, this was the first time he and Seth had ever fought and what made it so painfully mundane was the reason for the fight, he wasn't even sure what it was.Wistoria watched him for a bit before she walked away from him towards Seth who was still unconscious, she summoned water from thin air and surrounded Seth.He looked like he was in a blue bubble, suspended from within, the blue bubble of water shone brighter as it mended the injuries and stitches around Seth's body

  • Chapter 40. Reconciled.

    "I don't need to explain why I called both of you here," Wistoria said calmly as she raised her hand, the reason she was doing this was really simple, she wanted to see the prowess of Kirin against someone of his own rank and also to see that Seth was made off, if he was good enough, she would take interest in him.The two of them faced each other, Bokken in hand, in truth, this was the first time that Kirin would ever face off against Seth, it had never occurred to battle against each other, because it always made sense for them to get enough rest as possible to kill the next monster that came their way.Kirin's eyes darted between Wistoria's raised hand and Seth, Seth knew of his flaws and skills, he also knew that Kirin could only use one element, that one element he was very proficient in."Start" Wistoria's hand swung downwards as if slicing the air.Seth acted first, unlike Kirin who could use only one element, he could use all as many as he had mastered, including lightning.He

  • Chapter 39. Carnage.

    Seth felt the lightning coursing through his body, leaving him shaken and immobile. It was the first time he had ever been struck with lightning of this lethality. His mind and body were numb, unable to evade it. He didn't think Kirin would go this far to do something like this to him.He gritted his teeth in anger, trying to move the limbs in his body but to no avail, he couldn't even lift a single muscle, it's like he had been transfixed by lightning, the odd thing was that he wasn't being severely damaged, sure it hurt like hell, hurt more than anything he could currently think of but it wasn't causing damage to his Internal organs.But that just made Seth even more upset, solely because this level of lightning control was unknown to him. Sure, the masters at peak level cultivation or higher could manage something like this, but he wouldn't even dare, not until he had reached that level. But Kirin was different. Inherently, he was just better than the rest, better than him, and wha

  • Chapter 38. Conflict Between Brothers.

    The walk back to their rooms was as cold and quiet as the night sky above them, neither of them felt like talking, especially Seth who felt deeply betrayed, the cold winds lashed at them sending parts of their garments flapping, but even that left them unfazed.Torches and mystic lights lit the path which they walked, Kirin wasn't sure what kind of essence manipulation had been used but he was too tired to bother about how it worked."Aren't you going to say anything?" Seth spoke up suddenly, Kirin had been expecting it but had also dreaded it, this moment of questioning."Seth it was an order" Kirin tried defending himself, but in truth, his double core was something he was too scared to even talk about, not even with Grand Zenin when he had been at the clan."Order my foot, I'm your friend you bastard" Seth seethed through his teeth as he took Kirin by the collar of his vest and slammed him against the wall."I walked with you, fought with you, ate with you, protected you" he shoute
