Everyone sat on a piece of ruin within the arena. It’s clear as day that all of them are annoyed about what just happened. Anyone would be if they lose to the same person over and over without any sign of getting close to victory at all. That’s the effect that Octavia has on them and, that’s why they all share the same brooding look. As if thinking how they’d win the next time around.Meanwhile, Octavia sat at the far end where everyone else are. She gazed at the fake sky created by Merlin’s skill. A cloudy one that didn’t allow a single ray of sunshine to penetrate through.“I’d say that all of you did well in the training but, that would be lying on my part.” Merlin began as he got close to his allies.“Right off the bat huh.” Sylvie said as she laid back on a piece of concrete. “Shouldn’t you have buttered us up with affirmations before moving on to something like that?”“That won’t do any of us any good.” Amused, Merlin said. “Anyway, you guys don’t have to worry about the next pa
A loud silence separated Octavia and Merlin. There are no words left to be exchanged between the two. The only thing that’s left is the fight that cannot be avoided. A way for Merlin to gauge the actual strength of the kraken who, in that same second of decision making, finally made her move.The air seemingly ripped from the attack as Octavia blasted towards the demon lord. With this is the activation of all the tentacles nearby, slamming towards the same direction that the demon is on. Forcing Merlin to use flicker right off the bat to place himself out of the range of all the attacks. A gigantic wave is created on the point of impact of Octavia’s blow. Followed by the slamming tentacles that recreated the same effect. Each of which increasing the size of the wave that spread across all direction. The speed f the attack forced Merlin’s hand once again as he has to activate the first stage of his transformation – casting:
“That was really impressive.”Merlin at the corner of the [Hollow Arena], his back resting on a ruined wall from a makeshift city that’s been destroyed. Right in front of him is the Kraken who, began to wake up slowly – her eyes twitching and opening at the same rate. After a couple more seconds, she’s finally able to sit back up. Her body seemingly weighing a lot heavier than it should be with how sluggish this action is. Though Merlin understands that this is caused by the overexertion of the Kraken. The fact that she unleashed all of those attacks on him in a short interval means that she really has every intention to take him down.“You were really trying to kill me back there weren’t you?” Merlin asked though he already knows the answer to this question.“I have always been of service master. I have been under a lot of humans during the ages but, this is the first time that I serve under a demon.” Octavia stared into Merlin’s eyes. “I just wanted to see how different you are for
There is someone stronger than Merlin.There are ten of them to be exact. The saints of Adamus are all much stronger than he to the point that, no matter what tactic he use, he won’t be able to win against them. Other than their innate talent for combat and their high battle IQ, what makes these saints formidable is the fact that, each of them has been blessed by the heavens. Every single saint has a unique and overpowered blessing granted to them. Making them the epitome of strength that even the other continents fear.Proving this is the fact that, the reason why the other continents never bother waging wars against Adamus is because of the existence of the saints. That is how strong they are. The rulers of the other continents know that, should they lift a finger against this continent, then they will surely lose. All because of the combined strength of these saints.Though fear has driven them to this point, it is also fear that would make them gather up arms and work together in
[Neutral City of Palladium – Present Day]Right after the incident within Ptolemy, a lot of things happened. There is the rift created between the five kingdoms. There is also the preparations for the war that’s being hastily done more than ever before – caused by the fear of the demon lord whom they wish not to get any stronger than he already is.Wanting to eliminate this threat and rid themselves of the face of the mistake and blunder they made, the monarchs did all they could so the soldiers can finally march. With this comes a very busy schedule where they’re not even given the time to look at the progress of their sons and daughters anymore. Enough to make them disregard a lot of details and, enough to allow three individuals to get out of their respective kingdoms.Within a dark pub, three cloaked figures entered. Normally, this would not attract any attention but, because they’re wearing expensive cloaks, with lines of gold on them, the drunkards of the bar can’t help but take
The darkness that swallowed the three, for some reason, felt familiar. This reminded their bodies of something, though they can’t pin point what this is exactly. They don’t have time to think about this though. After all, in that moment, all of the darkness finally disappeared.The group found himself inside a seeming living room. The walls, the tables, the chairs and everything else within that room is made of wood. There are also plants sitting at the corners and in front of the door, the latter being the target of the three who looked at it with all the desire to take it and leave. Though that’s not going to help because, the one that summoned them there finally appeared.“Welcome.”The voice directed the eyes of the three towards the one behind all this. None other than Philein. The right-hand man of the creature lurking in the shadows. A man who’s also completely healed now. There’s no trace of the damage that’s done to him anymore.“Who are you and what are you planning to do wi
Three of the five kingdoms refused to cooperate with one another. Ten days have passed since the incident between the former members of Avalon and Philein and, during this time, the five kingdoms have steadily deteriorated in their relationship. That is, except for Luminium and Avarreh – kingdoms of the north that have always been closely knit that they won’t be unbound by such events.That is probably why, among the kingdoms, it is these two that are making the most progress in their advance. That’s right, they have already marched out of their kingdoms and have deployed a total of ten battalions. Scattered across the northern parts of the kingdom. Each having a reliable knight as the leader of the march with a level of at least [400].These noble fighters along with most of the knights and soldiers, all hail from Avarreh. Just like Helios, this kingdom prides itself in the production of top-quality knights. The only difference is that, the knights from Avarreh are also known for the
General Khanza stood on top of a tall mound of monsters that he himself created.The look of horror can be seen, painted on the faces of these creatures. These aren’t any ordinary monsters as well. They are [High Frost Ogres]. Monsters that share the same bloodline as regular ogres, with the difference being that, they are much more durable and has a higher defensive and offensive capability – owing to the [Glacial Shards] that are spread across their bodies.“That makes a hundred.” The general made a deep breath after swinging his cursed demonic sword over and over again.Just as he told the soldier who came to make a report to him, the general spent his time within the forest looking for worthy adversaries. This is easy enough for him to do because of his cursed weapon, a blade that reacts to strong condensation of mana within an area. The same tool that allowed him to navigate through the forest and find these current preys.Before reaching these monsters, he’s able to find a coupl
