Chapter 46: Into The Darkness
Sometimes, the best way to escape danger and save your ass from a swift moving and fifty-eyed creature must not be settled to a one-on-one fight—but running.
A petite girl, like me, have an advantage on this part. My body's weight wasn't too heavy for me to carry it on my evading and these thin, yet long lower limbs of mine was of great help with leaping and jumping over thick boulders.
Kagat-kagat ang sariling labi, tumalon ako mula sa isang malaking bato tungo sa parteng mas mababa ang lupa. I rolled on the floor as I landed and instantly got up before proceeding to run again on a steeper terrain.
Dumausdos muna ako sa ilalim ng isang may katamtamang laking butas na aking nahagilap sa kalagitnaan ng pagtatakbo. Nang makarating ako sa loob no’n ay inihinanda ko ang sarili at inabangan ang pagdating ng mga halimaw na walang tigil sa pagsunod hangga't tuluyan nila akong mapapatay.
I touched
Chapter 47: ObsidianTHIRD PERSONBy the time Tross took a step towards the clusters of dark mists that served as a portal that will take him to the place where his amulet was hidden, he felt his body oddly floating amidst darkness.His forehead creased upon discovering nothing, but eternal darkness.Normal Deanders couldn't see through the dark, yet he had this special ability to clearly see anything even with the absence of light. This was what he thought that qualified him to be chosen as Deandrelle's sentinel—his ability to see through darkness.Apparently, in the dimension where the amulet was hidden, his ability was quite nullified, or there was actually nothing to see because he was floating over nothingness. Perhaps, a void that resembled an umbra.Tross was definitely puzzled. With that, he attempted to both his upper and lower limbs. There, he proved that he was indeed floating on air.
Chapter 48: Glimpse Of Tomorrow I deeply groaned when I felt my body colliding with a tree trunk. The impact was strong, enough to make me taste iron in my mouth. I hissed and expectorated it out. Masama kong tiningnan ang malaking nilalang na nakatayo sa aking harapan. I didn't know what kind of creatures it was. One eye and six arms, with a green and bulky body. That's how bizarre it looked like. Taglay rin nito ang kakaibang lakas kaya ilang ulit na akong naibalibag nito sa kung saan. Kanina nga'y halos mahulog na ako sa bangin dahil doon ako inihagis ng nilalang. Fortunately, a lone rock attached by the corner of the cliff was extended to where I was thrown off. I was able to grab it before I could even see myself falling towards the raging waves. Nauubos na ang aking pasensiya sa tuwing paulit-ulit na lamang ako nitong naihahagis. It already destroyed my leisure time a while ago. I didn't know that it still had the audaci
Chapter 49: Once In A LifetimeBRYLEPabagsak akong umupo sa upuang nakapuwesto sa malawak na bulwagan ng palasiyo ng Kaharian ng El Wendor.Napasabunot ako sa sariling buhok at wala sa sariling napasuntok sa mesang nasa gitna. I let out a scream of frustration before leaning my back against the cushioned chair.Tumitig ako sa kawalan habang inaalala ang nangyaring labanan—labanang nagawa naming talunin ang hukbo ng kalaban, ngunit hindi nagtagumpay na bawiin ang aking pinakamamahal na kapatid.Nakita ko pa kung paano nito marahas na walang awang pinatay ang ibang mga sundalong kasapi ng kaniyang kaharian.Brielle . . . the once lively and enthusiastic girl, my lovely sister, have now turned into evil darkness.Mom and dad already knew about this and they were desperately worried about my sister's condition. They were both residing in El Wendor's capital, and I've told them to never initiate an
Chapter 50: Farewell, AdaleaIt took us more than three days to successfully bring the creatures of Mythical Realm to safety.Tross was right when he said that there were more than hundreds of untamed creatures residing in the island. Apparently, even when they were all wild and feral, they still make up more than a half of Aerydone's brave and mythical creatures.We can't risk them to be controlled by evil darkness, especially when they were predators and that killing was their main intent. Aside from the fact that we would just burden ourselves more with fighting against them if they get controlled, we also don't want them to die in vain.They may be considered as apex predators of this world, we still didn't want their races to be erased. If we could isolate them from the war that's coming, then we'll have to do it for the sake of their safety.And so, on the first day of our self-proclaimed mission to save the creatures, we wer
Chapter 51: Mordor Kingdom"You saw them?"I nodded at the guy who was shotting me a curious look. Habang nakatingin din sa kaniya ay hindi ko maiwasang itagilid ang ulo nang may maalala.Somehow, he duplicated King Dreiche. His expression, personality, and the aura that they were both emitting were deeply alike.He is, with no doubt, a total resemblance to the king. No wonder he was chosen to be his sentinel. Halos magkapareho na ang pag-uugali ng mga ito. Kulang na lang ay ipagdikit ang kanilang mukha upang magmistula rin silang magkamukha."Staring is rude."Those words instantly caught me off guard! Inilihis ko kaagad ang aking paningin sa ibang bagay na para bang nakuha nito ang aking interes at atensiyon. I heard how the guy released a soft sigh, which made me bit my lip to suppress the smile that I was keeping."What else happened in the garden?" tanong pa nito na siyang ikinibit-balikat ko. "Well, I just talked
Chapter 52: Dilapidated Reunion"How?"Nanatiling nakayuko ang aking ulo habang pinakikinggan ang pag-uusap ni Tross sa dalawang lalake. With eyes blurry, I glared on the floor with a ragged breath. I was gripping hard on the table's edge while striving to control my emotions that was slowly overpowering me. Kailanma'y hindi sumagi sa aking isipan na kokontrolin at gagawin nilang isa sa kanila ang aming butihing kaibigan. Ang inaakala ko'y itatago lang nila si Brielle sa kanilang lungga at gagamitin ito upang makuha kami. My jaws clenched in anger and frustration. Sumusobra na ang Voltur na 'yan. Hindi na 'ata siya nagsawang halos makontrol na niya ang kabuuan ng mga nilalang sa Aerdyone. This wasn't an ordinary war. It's madness! Ganiyan na ba talaga siya kahayok sa kapangyarihan? "When we travelled towards the chasm, we were greeted by an army of controlled creatures, along with three of the El
Chapter 53: ForewarningI darted a glare on the Elites who were grinning while looking at our situation. Kanina pa kami inaatake ni Brielle at masasabi kong habang tumatagal ay mas lumalakas ang mga pinapakawalang atake ng babae.None of us countered her attacks and instead chose to dodge or shield ourselves. Shahne attempted to restrain the girl fivefold, yet he couldn't even hold her for five seconds. Masiyadong agresibo ang babae at hanggang ngayo'y hindi pa rin tumitigil. We can clearly see in her face that she was exhausted, but her actions said that she would never stop—not until we're all dead."Bri!" Natigilan kaming lahat nang masilayan ang pagbalot ng dugo sa buong palad ng babae at ang pagtulo pa ng marami sa kaniyang ilong. Akmang tatawirin ni Shahne ang distansiyang naghihiwalay sa kanila ng babae nang biglang sumulpot si Travis sa tabi ni Brielle sa isang kisapmata. Mabilis nitong nasalo ang babae sa kaniyang mga
Chapter 54: Persona Of Death"You what?"I caught the bottle of water that Shahne threw at me and placed it inside my duffel bag. Inayos ko muna ang aking mga kagamitan bago hinarap si Bryle na nagtataka."Crane stopped the time in the middle of the fight. Every one of you halted along with it—except me."No one dared to speak after hearing what I've said. Ramdam ko ang titig ng mga lalake sa 'kin, pero hindi ko naman sila masisisi. Pati ako'y naguguluhan kung paano iyon nangyari."Teka, naalala kong may nasabi si Bri tungkol sa pagtigil ng oras noon. Siya lang iyong hindi naapektuhan noon sa abilidad ni Crane dahil nasa kaniya ang amulet ng kaniyang kaharian. Pero ba't tinablan kami gayong nasa amin na ang ibang kuwintas?" Isa-isa kaming binalingan ni Shahne na parang humihingi ng paliwanag.Nanatili akong nakatingin sa aking mga kamay na nakapatong sa mesa. Isa lang naman kasi ang pumapasok na rason sa aking isipan kaya hindi r
