EEEEEEEUUUUUUUU!!!
EEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!
"This is..." Krey said in a shock, whilst a drip of sweat ran through his head.
"Krey, get Mr Woodland to the safe zone !" Said a man in his twenties.
"All right," said Krey with a shaking voice.
As he walks a few steps, he stops and turns to face the man again. "What about you, Hero?". As he turned, the man was nowhere to be found.
"Please be safe, Hero. Mr Woodland, let's go to the safe zone!"
"Yes. Krey-boy.."
Krey and Woodland walk together while trying to be as fast as possible toward their safe zone destination. They both walk through the Priscote town that is in chaos. People from all directions were running frantically. Many were screaming hysterically.
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!!"
"HELPP US!! KING KYMA !!! HELP US!!"
Finally, after walking for quite a while, Krey and Woodland reached the safe zone. The safe zone is an area that is around 1 hectare. The main feature of this area is that every side of the zone is covered by a wall. Then the wall was also surrounded by another wall guaranteeing their sturdiness against explosive attacks. The location also consists of the main building filled with barracks and bunkers to survive natural disasters. Because the whole town is in an emergency, the safe zone is cramped.
Krey and Woodland were one of the first people to enter the safe zone. Therefore, unlike the people outside, they managed to confine themselves in the main building away from harm.
"..huff…huff", Woodland pants as he caresses his own back.
"Are you alright, Mr Woodland?" Krey said as he patted Woodland's back.
"Yes… I guess Krey-boy, I am just too old," Woodland said with a smile. "If I was at my prime, I could probably be suited for this kind of 'sporting' event. Kekeke."
Krey lets out a giggle. "I bet you do, Mr Woodland. You're a war veteran. I don't doubt your capabilities."
GRUMBLEE~~~
For a second, the ground appeared to be shaking. The phenomenon caused the people outside of the main building to panic. Some began forcing their way in by repeatedly kicking and punching the door, hoping to break in."LET US IN!!!"
"LET US THE FUCK IN!!!"
Overhearing the situation, Krey took Mr Woodland's hand and said, "I think we should evacuate deeper, preferably to the basement area Mr Woodland, sir."
"Huh… Why is that Krey-boy"
"People are beginning to break in here. If they cause a riot, I am worried about your safety."
"Well, if it would make you feel better. I'll go wherever you suggest me to go, Krey-boy."
"Alright, let's carefully walk down the stairs and---"
GRUMBLE~~
GRUMBLE~~~~"What... What is that sound?"
Soon after, another alarm sounds again. This time from inside the building's speaker. Someone on the audio spoke in a very serious tone.
"ATTENTION, EVERYONE, PLEASE STEP OUT OF THE MAIN BUILDING. THE BUILDING HAD BEEN DIRECTLY HIT!!! PLEASE CLEAR OUT!! IT MAY CRUMBLE AT ANY SECOND!!!"
"SHIT!!!" Krey said as he grabbed hold of Mr Woodland's hand and proceeded to find a way out."
As Krey and Woodland ran to the nearest exit, it was already filled with many people also desperate to get out. Like a cog in a sink.
"WATCH OUT FOR THAT FALLING DEBRIS!!!" Someone said in the confusion as a supporting beam of the building fell down from its original position.
"ARGGHHHHh!!!!" Some of them scream in terror as they're body crushed in the debris. As a result, the object blocked the exit Krey was originally planning to enter.
Krey panicked at that time, but he still tries to remain calm, grabbed Woodland, and ran to another exit. The other entrance was on the other side of the building, meaning they must travel approximately 50 meters.
Nearing the destination, Krey found a similar scene. Mountains of men and women cog the exit as the building crumbles. Already traumatized by the previous scene he had seen, Krey began to tremble. He desperately works his brain to find another solution but can't.
He saw people.. crushed to their death before his very eyes. His mental state began to crumble as he saw a similar scene. His mind wonders what kind of solution is there for him to assess the situation? He doesn't want to see people die. He doesn't want to die. He wants to escape. He wants to…
"HEYYYY YOU!!! NEAR THE BASEMENT STAIR, WATCH OUT! IT'S GONNA FALL!!!!" A man screams to Krey, who is just standing next to the basement stairs trembling in fear. His pupil widened, seemingly gazing into nothing.
"HEYYYY !!! YOU!! WATCH OUT!!
"YEAH, YOU WATCH OUT!!""OYYY!!! WATCH OUT!!! "People who noticed that Krey and Woodland were in danger of getting squashed by falling debris started repeatedly screaming at them.
Krey held Woodland's hand, trembling in fear, and his mind went blank. As the people screamed, he began to breathe heavily and fell to his knees. Stating, "I… can't.. huff… breathe…."
CRACK~~
CRACKS~~~FYUHH!!!Woodland grabs Krey's hand, managing to get his attention. As Krey, who was slowly calming down, looked at him. He whispered, "Don't be afraid to survive…". Without anything more than that to say, Woodland pushed his hand, holding Krey to his body, causing Krey to fall back centimetres away from him.
DUARGKKK!!!
Woodland had pushed Krey away from him. Saving Krey's life from the debris that had fallen straight onto them. Woodland's right hand is the only remaining visible body part that Krey managed to see. As it enters the basement's stair area. Woodland's entire body was crushed by a huge stone blocking the basement stair entrance.
Krey yet again stood there trembling. But now, he lets out a sharp cry
***
“HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Xaviel cries.
BUK!!!!!
Xaviel hits Krey's jaw with a mighty punch, sending him backwards. Then, Krey falls onto the ground with his entire body on the floor"usyha!" Xaviel said as he pointed to Krey. "Huf.. huff…You sure.. are a tricky one to beat." He swept his pants and torso off any dust and turned his attention towards The Beast. He takes out his knife and walks toward it.
"ALTER BRIDGE!!!"
Yet again, a blue panel appears at the head area of The Beast. It slides through its body slowly but surely.
"I WON'T LET YOU!!!" Xaviel, who had predicted Krey's move, threw a knife directly at its brain.
SHRUST!!!!
A Direct Hit!Hearing the sound of impact, Xaviel smirks and looks back to Krey. Same as before, he was in some kind of weird pose. Krey, however, doesn't even squint an eye. He looks fiercely toward Xaviel as if he still had the upper hand.
Krey's face made Xaviel wonder just how confident he was in his own capabilities. Unknown to Xaviel, The Beast had already risen behind him. Its eyes glow red, looking down onto Xaviel.
The feeling of glare sent chills down Xaviel's spine. He looked behind him and saw that The Beast was standing tall behind him, already in an attacking motion. As the Beast swings its enormous hand towards Xaviel. He no longer has a choice to evade. He can only block the impact with the tiny little hand he has.
The Beast's hand sweeps, causing some of the ground's floor to erupt in pebbles as it hits Xaviel. Some of his bones cracked whilst his body was sent flying more than 5 meters away from The Beast.

Chapter 68: Everlasting Legacy
BUK BUK BUK! Duke delivered a series of punches towards Mr. Jones.The training facility was once again filled with sweat and blood. The two fought with utmost seriousness, and no trace of familyhood remained.Perhaps Mr. Jones also wanted Duke to develop much faster. Or maybe it’s because Mr. Jones sees Duke as his future successor, so he is so hard on him today.Since my last fight with Mr. Jones two weeks ago, I have learned more by practicing alone. Though… I still haven’t gotten the hang of it.[Spectral Armament] applied to air particles was hard enough to do. Yet I managed to gather those imbued air particles into creating my weapon.Because I made a dagger, I suppose I can call it my [Spectral Dagger]By logic, my weapon is just made out of air particles that are stuck inside some sort of frame. So, I had to maintain the frame of my weapon, which was a dagger. The only real damage that can be dealt is when I set the particle to hit the enemy. Yet using complex com

Not yet, Ankara… Remember why you are here… Finish your mission…That’s right. I will complete the mission assigned to me.***The sound of clashing echoes through the underground room. Two figures fighting each other with utmost seriousness. From the looks of it, it was as if they had been at it for a few hours.Yes, for the past 2 weeks according to schedule, I have been training with Mr. Jones."As expected from you Mr. Jones, not a single opening."He released air bullets which grazed my body."It’s been 2 weeks; when are you gonna master it, Ankara?"The reason behind our training is the fact our opponents, Goliadth and Jack Nelson, will no doubt be hard."You still have a far way to go if you wanted to at least stand a chance." Mr. Jones scolded.I rose as I focused my Foen. Spectral Armament, the ability to make anything I touch intangible towards anything. About 4 months ago I found out that I am able to manipulate anything that my body touches. Then 2 months later I got th

“Joy Soda with three glasses,” Mikaila said as she served the beverage.“So this is your esteemed Joy Soda Ankara. It’s a shame I didn’t taste the one you made at the party.” Mr. Jones said.“Joy Soda, huh?” The green-eyed man said before pouring a glass for himself. GULPAs the liquid entered his system, he formed a smile. “This is good.” He said.“Thank you. Even though I didn’t make this batch, the server here learned it from me. So it’s a pleasure to know the drink is a delight,” I said.A few moments of silence passed by as I ate the Fried Rice.“Codename?” Mr. Jones asked towards the green-eyed man.“It’s Shielder, Mr. Hebsly.”Shielder huh? No wonder he seemed familiar; we fought before. His hair wasn’t white the first time we met, though.“Nice to meet you, Shielder. I am Varenza Shankara.” I offered a handshake.Shielder didn’t seem to form any expression and grabbed my hand. “Nice to meet you, General Ankara.”As we shook hands, the air of awkwardness spread.“By the tense
Chapter 65: Unwanted Exposure
A blade was thrusting from the back of Mr. Jones’s body. It had struck somewhere around his left chest. Most probably, his opponent was targeting his heart. Suddenly, another figure appeared and grabbed the stabber’s arm. With a powerful punch aimed at the stabber’s hip, the new figure launched the stabber away from Mr. Jones.Mr. Jones didn’t seem too bothered as he carefully assessed the situation. He lifted his red right hand towards the stabber and asked, “Did Jack send you?” The stabber stayed quiet, keeping his mouth shut.“Step aside,” He said as the new figure was hushed to step away.Mr. Jones released the trigger on his imaginary gun.BANG!A red light appeared from the chest area of the stabber. Blood spilled from the stabber’s mouth. As he was coughing up blood, Mr. Jones’ chest was filled with blue light. This blue light is a part of his Forte. This Forte is known as Red Right Hand: 2nd Barrel. It works as a means to counter damage. Any damage to Mr. Jones can be transferr
Chapter 64: Thomas Hebsly of The Razor Peaks
The Fisherman and I follow Jack Nelson as the party ends instead of using a horse carriage or chariot like the other guests. They used a rather peculiar cart that used petrol and ran on wheels. I am familiar with that kind of cart. It's called a 'car' rather than a cart. People in Estovania used it quite a lot, yet they didn't first develop it. Most state-of-the-art stuff originated in Willhelmia or the 'Prince' region."That cart is very fast; how are we supposed to follow it?" I said."WOA-!" Fish shouted a little before I instinctively shut his mouth with my hands. "Shut the hell up, dumbass. We'll get caught!" I whispered as I slightly tightened my grip on his mouth. He reacted by nodding up and down. Only then did I release his mouth from my grasp."But why are you here, Vice-Boss Duke Hebsly?" He blatantly said."Don't say my name so casually. Dammit! And What else do you think I am here for? I am here to help you spy on Jack Nelson!" I replied."But the boss didn't say a thing a
Chapter 63: Idealist versus Realist
“Excuse me sirs and madam. I am here to serve wine.” A male servant went inside the table where the conspirators of Seraphinania is sitting. He placed the glass one by one, as another servant poured it down.“A perfect time for a drink isn’t it?” Oswald Leysom said enticing everyone to touch their respective glasses.“There might be some rough sides to this plan of ours. Yet, with all the people here, I am pretty sure we can pull it through quite nicely.” Ms. Eye said with confidence before glancing at Mr. Jones. “By the by, is Jones here the one who used to sell opium to the Molosno family?”Mr. Jones looks around as the attention turns towards him. “Yes. As a matter of fact, I am. Yet ever since one year ago, the distributor position for my opium is vacant.”“I see.” Ms. Eye drinks her wine before speaking again, “Then you indeed are Thomas Hebsly.”“Wonderful guess, Madam. How could you ever guess who he was?” Oswald said, making everyone else except Mr. Jones giggle. “I see. Then
