993. In Which A Star Resides

[The Bite of the Wolf Who Could], the Third State Absolution version of [Wolf Bite], was used when she needed to recover Defibrilation Stacks.

Her maw was stronger than adamantium, and she used it to snap at the air. The shockwave alone tore the spires apart and ripped through the body of t...

992. Cer VS The Avatar of Kratt

A Heart of the City was never supposed to be the final manifestation of an Impuritas.

It, if anything, was no more than the festering of an isolated event. If Qliphoth was a byproduct of cognition, then where did it go? Things with weight were bound to sink. When enough impurities collected...

991. An Impurity of The World

Glimmers of light appeared above her. They were so densely packed that they gave the illusions of wings of light. She swung her blade forward, and thousands of pale swords saturated the battlefield.

It did not matter to her who was caught in the onslaught. Nor did Cer imagine that it matter...

990. The White Horseman - Conquest

Cer had faced many nightmares beyond comprehension for over thirty years. Creatures whose stats put the soldiers of the Nexus (the Moons) to shame, and whose terror would wipe the minds of the most hardened Adventurers clean.

She knew she hadn’t seen everything.

The sky was no longe...

989. Alisa, The Aberration of Despair

The Nexus failed to suffer a single loss.

Between Frost’s turnaround, the superiority of the Vermilion Moons and Cer’s appearance, it seemed like they were in control now.

MA: 96. Justicia's Crossing

The geography around the Central Forests of Justica was atypical of a normal forest. It existed within the bottom of multiple layers of escarpments, meaning its elevation was much lower compared to the rest of the Region.

This allowed rivers to flourish, and the massive landmasses provided ...

987. Did Someone Call An Electrician?

Moments earlier…

“… I’m…” A Rogue Moon uttered mid clash with a Vermilion Moon.

She had recognized what they were doing. But she couldn’t fathom why they’d allow themselves to take so much punishment for their sake. Not only that, but they weren’t even finishing them...

They had reached the outside world.

MA: 95. The End of The Second Night

In the world of Elysia, in the year 351 PA, there was a phenomenon called The Second Night.

Every day, at a specific time that varied from Region to Region, the shadow of the Nexus would sweep across the lands and plunged the world into a second night.

It was a testament to the absurd...

980. Frost VS The Aberration of Lament

A vapor barrier formed around Frost as she closed in. The festival of Sins burst into shards of blood. Most exploded by mere proximity, beginning a chain reaction that spread up till the portal.

MA: 93. Bandit Rats

Bandits. Scum of the world thrived in the least likely places where life could thrive. This was due to the lack of security such as knights belonging to a Kingdom, guards, Atelier presence, or high-level Adventurers.
