  • by David Harris  Time seemed to stand still as the blade connected with its target. The serpent writhed in pain, its mighty form trembling under the force of the blow. A resounding roar echoed through the mountains, a mix of agony and defeat. The serpent weakened and overcome by the collective might of Lyrian and the others, succumbed to its wounds. Its massive body collapsed to the floor in a loud thud, as Lyrian's enhanced form began to dwindle as well. Before allowing himself to fully rest, however, he made sure…
  • by David Harris  *Clang!* The sound of hard materials clashing against each other suddenly sounded from closeby, as Lyrian turned his head toward the direction of the Hydro Serpent. "Lyrian! You're awake!" Leon said in mid-air as he sheathed his sword, having pushed the serpent back into the water temporarily. As he landed on the ground, he quickly ran over to where Lyrian was, "How in the world did you overcome the hallucinations on your own?" He said as he neared him. "It wasn't that hard to come back, just wake…
  • by David Harris  Staring at the lifeless being, Zero tried to control his emotions, but his surroundings felt too surreal to be reasonable. In fact, it was more than that. It was almost as if his ability to think properly had been weakened. Inside of the Hydro Serpent's illusionary spell, a logical method of thinking via problem-solving was useless. As he continued to stare at his damaged past self, his eyes widened in fear and shock. Feelings that had long since been forgotten began rushing back to him, pouring…
  • by David Harris  The boy was shocked for a moment, but after looking at Silong's face, he realized that this was a serious request and took a deep breath before diving into the water head first. Everyone waited in suspense as silence spread through the crowd, anticipating the boy's return to the top. After over thirty seconds of waiting, a head suddenly popped up from under the water. "I don't think there's anything in her—" The boy nearly finished his sentence, before a giant set of teeth suddenly emerged from the…
  • by David Harris  Making his way down from the hill to the side of the river, Lyrian realized that there weren't just a few, but over 20 kids that were gathered there. The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm golden glow over the scene. As he walked closer, Lyrian saw that they all looked to be standing over the river, staring at it contently with most of them having somewhat serious expressions plastered on their faces. Out of the 20 kids, most looked to be from different smaller factions looking at their clothes…
  • by David Harris "Lyrian!" Alten yelled from the floor, his voice mixed with a tone of shock and bewilderment. "You're alive," Leon said after sheathing his sword, relieved that Lyrian made it out safe. "Oh course I'm alive," Lyrian immediately replied, "I wouldn't allow myself to die here to such a stupid thing, I have many things to do in this life," He smiled before showing a core that he held in his hand. "We got the core, let's get out of here." He said jumping down from the corpse of the Diamond Lizard as the…
  • by David Harris  'So Rock Lizards don't like direct confrontation? What did he want us to do with that information,' Lyrian thought to himself on hearing what Alten said, 'It's not like we could pose a threat to the lizards...' He continued to think as hard as possible, trying to figure out what Alten was trying to say before he got slammed. 'Wait! That's right! When coming here, Alten said that the Diamond Lizard's eyesight was terrible. It only relies on vibration and sound to tell whether something is a threat…
  • by David Harris  ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm During the six days, Lyrian and the crew spent time taming the ostriches even more, well more so Alten and Leon, since Lyrian's ostrich was already very obedient to him. While giving themselves time to hunt for cores at least a few hours each day, they also used the time to allow the birds to train to get better to climb the mountain, as doing it with an added load came to be far more difficult. The group realized they needed to train the ostriches to do this when they tried…
  • by David Harris  Lyrian appeared in front of the three ostriches, immediately causing them to all suddenly perk up and be on guard. As he approached them, only about 50 feet away, Leon and Alten stayed behind slightly. They closed their eyes, focusing on coating their own souls with mana. The ostriches stayed stagnant, not moving at all at the imminent threat approaching them. Seeing as only one human with a power level that seemed defeatable was coming after them, they didn't see it necessary to escape, so they…
  • by David Harris  "Tame!?" Alten quietly exclaimed, surprised, "What do you mean, tame?" "Look at their claws, they looked to have evolved for the specific purpose of climbing up and down these mountains. If we could tame them, it would be a perfect way to reach the top." Lyrian said, fully determined on taming the birds. Alten was fully taken aback by shock, never having even thought of such a thing. "That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard," He said. "But, it might just work," Leon chimed in, seeing the…
