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 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 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

Chapter 56: Pre-Historic "What happens in the room, stays in the room." Pinaningkitan ko ng mga mata ang lalake nang hindi ito tumugon. He was still eyeing me like what I did was some kind of an important thing. Sinisikap ko pa ring takpan ang bandang dibdib ko dahil hindi malabong tumuon ulit doon ang atensiyon ng lalake. I rolled my eyes. "Please, Tross. This isn't a big deal." A groan escaped from my lips when he only replied with a stare. Tinalikuran ko ito at naisipang mag-ensayong lumipad muli, pero natigilan din kaagad nang magsalita ito. "Strip that costume off." Halos mabulunan ako ng sariling laway sa narinig. Hindi makapaniwalang bumaling ako rito na nag-iinit ang mukha. What the hell was he saying?! "A-Alam mo naman s-siguro kung ano ang p-pinagsasasabi mo, 'di b-ba?" Napalunok ako habang mataman itong tiningnan. Sabihin niya lang talagang seryoso ang kaniyang sinabi at ipatatapon ko

Chapter 58: Mutual ConcessionWe were currently walking amidst a wide tundra under an extremely hot temperature. Kung kanina sa dagat ay malamig-lamig ang temperatura, dito naman ay halos lutuin na kami sa sobrang init!Hindi ko alam kung paano nangyaring mataas ang temperatura sa islang ito gayong napaliligiran naman ito ng tubig. Pakiramdam ko nga'y napunta kami sa ibang dimensiyon dahil sa nakamamatay na init na sumasakop sa paligid!If it wasn't for Gust's cooled wind and Tross' thin layer of dark mist, we would have been burnt by the sun's rays and rdiation.While walking, I frowned as another bead of sweat formed on my forehead. Kahit na may pananggala kami ay hindi pa rin maiwasang mamawis dahil sa kakaibang init na sinusubukang pumasok sa aming harang. Kanina nang pumasok ang aming sinasakyang barko sa ginawang lagusan ni Kye sa tubig, naramdaman muna naming nasa bingit kami ng kamatayan bago kami nito iniluwa rito sa mala-disyertong lugar
