Onia accepted and began casting, palms clasped together in a praying manner. Under her command, sparkling blue light flashed in front of her, and soon molecules of water began to form, condensing together to create a ball of water. "Shoot!" Warden urged her. Prepared, Onia fired the swirling mass of water forward, unaware in her concentration that Warden came forward to stand in front of her. Warden drew his cloak forward as the cannon of water plunged into him. He didn't even have to take a step…

The spear moved on its own in his arms as his legs started to move. His movements were surreal, ethereal, yet swift, dancing with the spear as if it were his beloved woman. Each of his movements felt choreographed to be the finest. There was no flaw, no unwanted movement, only the spear and Warden against the world. Warden didn't know how long it lasted, but by the time he finished, he was already breathless. The familiar depravity clawed at his heart, yet his lips curved in a delighted smile. "Wow,"…

Warden could sense the binding placed on his soul and how terribly it restricted Xiv, who had taken the oath without even a stutter. Even if Xiv mistakenly let out his secret, he would suffer a terrible curse. All his awakened power would be stripped away from him, and he might as well die if Warden didn't unbind the other end of the binding. The boy had played it heavy-handedly, though this could be how the world worked. The weaker ones follow the whims of the strong. Still, it gave some ideas on…
-
Warden already knew Xiv didn't have answers to all of his questions, but even getting answers to a few of his questions left much for him to think about. He didn't ask anything related to the world yet. For one reason, Xiv was only a village boy. The farthest he went was to the nearest town. Although he might know more than Warden was giving credit for, the world was not his most imminent concern. Magic was the biggest thing Warden was curious about. How the system works, why killing monsters makes…

Xiv was scared shitless at the beginning of the fight, but finding Warden blocking the way for most of the wolves, his confidence rose exponentially. Only one wolf, as high as his waist, obstructed his path, the rest of the pack being held by Warden. Xiv fended it off, swinging his spear at its pouncing claws. Keeping a safe distance away, he flashed his spear to pierce it towards its neck. He missed by some margin, barely grazing its skin. "Hurry up, kid," Warden urged him. "If it's one versus more,…

Warden's lodging was in the middle of the village—the village head's house, to be specific. Unfortunately, the village head had died in the attack, leaving his young son, who always seemed to be busy with one thing or another. Currently, the lad was sharpening his many tools, from daggers, machetes, swords to arrowheads, stroking them on a whetstone. Warden didn't alert him and went into the house. A few minutes later, he was back in his attire, the sword strapped to his back, the undamaged light…

"I think I owe you an apology?" Warden looked up at the ravishing blonde girl, unsure how she made it sound like a question. He couldn't help but rub his chin and brood, but unfortunately, he couldn't make any sense of it, so he played the oblivious role. "You do?" The girl gave Liam a quick glance and turned to him again. "Yes," she said with great distress, as if she couldn't believe herself. "I'm sorry. I acted harshly when you just wanted to help. I also thank you for saving our lives. If you…

Warden indeed left everything to the villagers and went for a swim in the river in the middle of the night. "Really? Who leaves their loot to take a dip in the river?" Kiara mumbled after the man left. "A good-natured man," Liam answered her. Kiara snorted, sitting down with the sleeping bunny in her lap. "Miss Kiara," Liam addressed her, unsure of how to be polite in what he was about to say. "I know you're on edge with the fight and everything else, but I must advise you to think carefully…

Liam observed the small bunny that appeared to be guarding the massive corpse of the cursed wolf. The rabbit's size hadn't changed much since the last time he saw it; however, the aura it radiated seemed to have transformed. It was much more concentrated than changed, to be fair. Previously, it seemed like a normal rabbit, but there was no mistaking it now—it exuded the presence of a spirit beast. More importantly, it possessed healing powers, an uncommon trait among spirit beasts. The fire took…

The increase in numbers hardly itched the fire burned within him. He needed more. He wanted more. Warden didn't avoid the scratches the claw got in him. His light armour saved him from any sinister wounds, as he kept on killing the beasts efficiently. However, after he was done with his fifth prey, the huge dire wolf seemed to run out of its patience and howled at the top of its lunges. Its howl seemed to have some psychological effect on others' minds as every one of the villagers as well as the…
