Hart, Cynthia and Koran made their way through the thick forest finally stopping as they reached a large creepy cave oozing out with strange Aura.
This was the site of the mission and they were all excited about their own thing. Hart was excited about the mission, Koran was excited about him and Cynthia just wanted to be closer to Koran.A triple win although for different reasons."Is that where the third grade night terror beast is?" Cynthia asked Koran trying to engage him in a conversation and in reply Koran only nodded."What the heck is a night terror beast?" Hart spoilt the moment instantly getting a frown from Cynthia, it wasn't his fault was it? "The school I went to was a bit not up to date."'From the looks of things I am not even sure this idiot graduated from kindergarten!' Cynthia cursed in her mind.While this happened Koran took his time before explaining, "a night terror beast is a supreme beast that destroys everything, it's basically the apex creature and could come in any form, the way we discern it is by a weird throat feeling from it's Mana so anytime it comes know a night terror beast could be close.""Yes, and your range is really important, I am about twelve meters to sense them," Cynthia said as if bragging to get Koran's attention which was far lost."Oh cool, mine is twenty two meters," Koran's word placed a sharp knife into Cynthia's heart as she knew she got no where close to him.Hart itched his throat before speaking lastly, 'so that explains the feeling I have been getting all this while, I guess I have the largest range then.'But deep within the darkness in the cave Hart could sense a great Aura and knew the creature within was powerful.Soon they proceeded in walking quickly through the gloomy dry tunnel, it was quite silent and surreal but Hart had also noticed another thing here.He could see colourful lines linking up in the cave, like smells or somewhat Aura all over, from the looks of it only he could sense this.'This should be the mana output of the creatures here?'[Yes as the Phoenix Warlock you can see this lines and discern them, it's a special skill though it does not work for every beast]Wise words of wisdom at a needed moment."There are grades of night terror beast, and the higher the grade the more the strength and intelligence," Koran began to explain once again to Hart knowing he was short on this information. "There are five grades that can be encountered in this forest and we are going up against the third grade.""That means it would be intelligent and also powerful beyond anything you have ever faced," Cynthia added.And this brought Hart's look to a frozen display, 'This bastards! If they talk about brutal I should be holding a huge golden cup with my name on it saying world's most brutal!'Said the guy that jumped off a cliff.Hart sudden came to a stop grasping his nose tightly as a vile smell came across, "what the hell is this smell?""Smell!" Cynthia's face broke into a cold shiver knowing what that meant.Koran barely flinched glaring at the darker end of the cave where it had suddenly gotten darker that they couldn't see past it."Anytime the smell of a night terror beast posses a smell to powerful Mage it means it's breaking through to the next grade," Cynthia managed to explain with her very agitated voice.Hart gulped at the fact now they were about to go against a much treacherous beast than expected.Roar!They heard this noise from deep within the cave drawing near like the beast was running towards them."What do we do now Koran?" Cynthia panicked a bit backing off a bit in fear."Just leave it to us, we'll handle it right?" Koran directed to Hart who nodded happy to be of help."Don't just slow me down Koran," Hart tightened his fist and scowled at the darkness up front and the echoing if footsteps drawing close fast.Boom! The beast finally came into view charging on all fours resembling a gorilla with the tusks of an elephant and a body filled with tentacle like hair. It had a mean demeanor and a yellow energy fuming from it's body.'Should I use the extracted power or my own strength?' Hart asked himself considering what his tean would say if they saw him with the Phoenix Warlock's ability.After a short prospection he chose not to use it.Hart pointed out his left hand and formed two large shards of ice from it shooting them at the large night terror beast.It simply smashe
"Ouch, they didn't even come to assist me!" Hart complained itching his head and walking to the opening of the cave.To his own surprise all his wounds had healed, however it occurred after an hours of strain and patient waiting.'Even after an hour they did not show up to find me? Is something wrong or have they abandoned me?'Hart could not tell, all he did was walk into the tunnel once more with this thoughts in his mind.[Something is wrong Hart be careful]"Whatever I just beat a grade nine terror beast, I am kinda too strong though," he said a bit proud of himself.[It's a fourth grade beast, do not get too cocky or you will get severely injured]"Ok boss man, thank you for the words of advice," Hart increased in pace and soon reached the point of battle where he had left Koran and Cynthia they were no longer there.'Looks like they left me thinking I would die and ran for help,' When Hart processed this thought he almost cried but held his eyes from it. It was normal, he always
"Ahhhhh!" The force of the attack flinged Hart into the air as it met with his cheeks so hard that his entire face shuddered.He landed on his side and quickly got to his feet to see the man that hit him at first was already gone. 'I can not predict his moves,' Hart narrowed his eyes again to find the man, getting surprised twice could mean death for him.[I thought you were being confident]'Shaddup stupid spirit you are not helping.'FWOOOSH!Hart heard the sound this time sharply turning however moving too slow to counteract the coming attack as a knee collided with his gut."GAAAHAAKK!" He coughed out saliva from his mouth his world shaking and his legs almost giving way. Surely he had taken knees to his gut before but none as this.It was like a thousand weight shot at him.Before Hart could even get himself the large hefty man grabbed him by the shirt raised him above the ground and brought him down hard to his side."KUEEEKKKK!" Hart's eyes turned white as he lost view of his s
A lot of body bags followed today's line up. All the wounded Mages and their painfully broken bodies to tend to somehow made it back to the Magus academy.No two ways, it would be the deed of the Sabogo guy.Hart who was the confused one placed a hand on his chin while laying on the sickbed covered with a lot of bandages sat wondering how he got there.He remembered the Sabogo guy placing a hand on his head and him falling asleep before he knew it he was here in the Magus Academy hospital.Not just him but all the remaining recruits all bandaged in the specialized ways to be.Koran was on his left deep in thought on what happened bin the tunnels.Hart felt bad for him and the amount of beating he acquired from this single mission so he attempted a conversation, "what's up? Sorry for the glorious defeat."Koran spat a sigh, "I wasn't even of any help, I did was take beatings from left to right." He smiled bitterly.Hart knew what it felt like to be weak and have people look up to you n
Life equals death..... And so does death affect all life.The world has been burnt and many have died, what else s there to live for. A glorious future or a bitter end.His eyed gazed up to the clouds and his thought settled on, the bitter end.Oh did I fall asleep again? At this time who would be stupid enough to fall asleep? That was a stupid presumption, however I am the last am I not?Hart Margata wielded open his eyes to glance at what was left of the world he knew and hated. The once beautiful healthy green grass fields were now layers of resentful ashes from top to bottom, not to mention the amount of corpses present in it.There were also metal chunks sticking out probably from the kingdom that layed there before now transformed into a debris.Only he had survived. And worse of all he could still recall their screams.... The scream of every one of his loyal friends at the top of their lungs as they got either pummeled, torn apart or eaten alive.His life was primarily a cursed
In the great hall of Magus academy were the many students who came to apply and the officials to watch.This was the moment life's were being decided, either you die a poor broke weakling or get the opportunity to become rich and powerful.This world was all about magic and at a certain age, you would go to Magus academy to test your level of magic alongside your future occupation.If you were lucky enough, you would get a great occupation and become noticed by the entire world and this were the prayers of all students.****The history of magic originated thousands of years ago, when the gods had a glorious battle with demons and hell beast alongside humans.They had decided to cleanse the earth and that led to an all out war between all. In the latter humans invented magic and gained an upper hand, that was when the first of him was born....The Phoenix Warlock.The Phoenix warlock was a man that mastered all forms of magic, he was unstoppable and became the breach to all worlds.Af
With no light of hope left in Hart's heart he began to take a sorrowful leave from the environment. Clearly he wasn't wanted here and there was nothing a scum like him could become, a great Magus was a farther cry.'I hate it, my life and everything around me,' Hart almost broke into tears bitting hard on his lips and increasing his pace as he noticed the eyes of many on him. He was the talk of the second and all made fun of his condition clearly."Poor kid, he didn't even get a good power," One girl with long red hair and blue eyes spoke so poorly of Hart shaking her head in disappointment. This was culture so everyone understood, this had nothing left for him left in life."He is a weak scum and won't last a second in this world," another male with short white hair folding his hands hissed at Hart from afar as he finally went out of sight, "you shouldn't feel a slight pity Cynthia.""How could you be constantly heartless jack?" She hissed at him. He was always this way having been b
In the academy stadium used to house the occupation crystal was everyone gathered there once more, the headmaster made a last minute announcement for everyone to come there at the last moment for the last applicant who had shown up late.The glorified student that had already great occupations watched with low expectations at the character in the ark cloak before the crystal."Put your hand at the crystal young magus," the headmaster encouraged the student in the black cloak who follows the order touching the crystal.WHOOOSH!Crack!The crystal immediately split into two a vast mighty wind blowing everywhere and shaking the audience, even those that already had occupation found their mouth falling wide open one after the other at the mighty ability of this character.A golden beam afterwards sprang into the air colouring the sky in purple and red embers of light. This was truly amazing and no one had consented to such an ability and show of majesty since the headmaster of the school.
