Athanor Online: Monarch of War

Cerberus's Barn

A flash of red light hit the body full of ice armour belonging to the Cerberus. Punch after punch Zephys launched, but the thick ice easily dampened every attack that Zephys launched. Indeed Zephys knew this would happen, but he did not expect it to be this bad

Zephys jumped back to understand that his attack was futile.

"The ice is really troublesome!"

Zephys was unceasingly complaining about this. Every attack, be it a dagger or his punch, was completely useless. In addition to the level difference between them being high, the endurance between the two of them was also unbalanced. The Zephys had to expend its full power to at least reduce the Cerberus HP by about 10%

Zephys took a deep breath, Zephys eyes staring blankly at Cerberus. But not a blank stare as usual, but a blank stare full of strategy. Zephys has focused on more extreme conditions, he has thought about things and he has done his best. Win or lose, it is a pure result

Blue who saw the sudden change in Zephys aura, he took a few steps back. I don't know what happened, but surely his pure instincts say the human figure in front of him is a dangerous figure

'Excellent focus'

His sharp eyes stared quite deeply at the human figure in front of him. Hate the taste, but the fact of his extreme focus was enough to make him tremble.

Focusing on the tip of the foot, the Zephys darted far more than usual. Making Blue a little surprised by the sudden addition of speed. Not wanting to be silent. With a blue command, dozens of ice spears appeared from within the ground trying to tear apart Zephys' body

But with the speed of motion that is now not a big problem for the Zephys. He darted towards Blue with a heavy fist, but before that happened. A long spear came from under Zephys feet and struck Zephys' stomach

The spear pierced the Zephys deeply. The Cerberus who saw that smiled with satisfaction. But it completely disappeared when he looked in more detail, his ice spear eyes were not piercing Zephys stomach but rather piercing his blue blade

"Almost just.." Said Zephys while panting

With his blue blade the Zephys jumped into the air. Zephys aimed at Blue's eyes, and with a precise shot Zephys threw his blue blade. It sped so fast and pierced in Blue's eyes

"GROAA!"

Blue shouted loudly, the wound on his eyes was enough to make him jerk. Zephys who was still in the air shot down with the right leg that he lifted up in parallel

"Axe!"

Zephys came down with one of the martial arts he had learned. Zephys' right leg hit Cerberus' head heavily. Not intending to just stop, Zephys accelerated on both of his hands. He then accumulated energy on his right leg, and with the momentum he still held.

'I will end this quickly, before I reach his limit' Inner Zephys. He knew the F Mode he was wearing was at his limit let alone the focus he was using was already at his most extreme point

Zephys kicked Blue's chin hard. The coldness of the ice armour was so pronounced, but even so Zephys had no intention of stopping. For once again Zephys accumulated energy on his right leg, but this time it was much larger

"Acrobatic Art Series!"

Not staying still, Blue raised her sharp nails. With sharp nails from the side, but Zephys powered kicks much faster.

"Series One: Enrage!"

A hard kick hit Cerberus' chin. The violent clash between Zephys' legs and Cerberus's ice armour sounded so loud. But certainly the impact of the Zephys kick is able to make Cerberus' body float in the air

Seeing the golden opportunity, Zephys then jumped up and picked up the chains that were dangling large on the roof of the room. Zephys painstakingly threw a large chain towards Blue's neck. Once felt to have tied strongly to the neck of Blue. Zephys decided to end all this

"Death to you cute wolf!"

With a few satirical sentences and all his strength, Zephys slammed Cerberus' large body down. But he did not slam him into any place, but he slammed him into the place where the ice spear almost took his life

*jleb

*GROAA!!"

A loud shout clearly came out from Blue's mouth. The pain felt so intensely on his stomach, he looked down and saw himself being pierced by a long ice spear that was supposed to tear through Zephys' stomach

Red blood dyed the ice. Dirty blood came out from his sharp mouth, he tried to get out of the ice spear, but what was waiting for him was only pain and pain that was so intense. He looked ahead and found a human figure who was smiling petty

Eyes hate sharp squealing. If only the chains that curb his freedom did not exist, then the man in front of him had died. Understanding the blue gaze, Zephys made a small laugh

He then took out a golden ball from his storage. The Elemental Cerberus who understood this situation, quickly left. But the ice spear that pierced his body seemed to reject his desire. Zephys then pointed the golden ball in front of Cerberus' face.

"Sorry but-", Zephys quite enjoyed the facial expression of Blue, with a petty smile he continued. "Brain against muscle, cute wolf."

***

In a place not yet known for certain, a human being walked quietly in the dim light of the moon and among the tall trees. His blue eyes glanced at each direction looking and were alert to the environmental conditions he did not know

His footsteps looked slow but the sound caused seemed much louder than it should be. It's confusing even for itself. A strong wind suddenly struck his body, making his favorite orange hat fall

Her blond hair and blue eyes looked so beautiful, and her white skin like marble was her distinctive stature. He picked up his favorite orange hat and set it right this time

The towering trees, the dark cold night, and the moonlight that could not penetrate the dense foliage, made things worse. However, his footsteps continued forward to go much deeper into the darkness itself

He pulled out the sword from the scabbard on his back. A small smile was curled up on his beautiful face. Not without reason, but he felt something was loving him

And sure enough, ten demons in various forms surrounded him. Even so, worry and fear were not visible on his face. The demons around him were not weak demons therefore, he would not hold back anymore

He infused heat energy into his silver sword, a red flame that looked so fiercely clinging onto the beautiful silver blade. The red flames did not melt the silver blade, but instead strengthened it

The ten demons that surrounded him quickly moved towards him. But it seemed useless, because the waves of fire slashes hit their bodies and made it burn slowly. Their screams echoed in every corner of the forest

But he did not care much, he sheathed the silver blade and resumed his steps. There was something very important that he had to find in this dark forest. Something capable of making him invincible and at least able to stand in balance with someone he knew

It continued to run deeper and deeper making the moonlight no longer visible. He took out a torch and lit it with a silver blade shrouded in his red flames. Even with the light of the torch but still this darkness is not ordinary darkness

After he walked for quite a while, he bumped into something he could not even see. He jerked a little, he then went deeper but something was blocking him. His right hand tried to enter but it was free

"The wall is invisible, isn't it?."

He was shocked but he was not surprised by this. He then took out his silver-bladed sword, he slammed his silver sword against an invisible wall

There is no evidence but for sure, slowly the walls that prevent it disappear mysteriously. It seemed like the sword he was carrying was not an indiscriminate sword.

An invisible wall is a technique that only a handful of people can do, but it easily dispels that invisible wall. And that proves he is not an ordinary human being, or at least has a complicated relationship with what he is looking for

He entered the wall invisible. And I don't know what happened the heat was so stinging. The sun had not yet risen yet but the heat he felt on his skin was much higher than usual. Even the scorching afternoon could not be compared to this

But instead of worrying he smiled, because he knew something he was looking for was getting closer. He ran much deeper, the heat was more piercing but he did not care about it. And after running for quite a while he saw what he had been looking for all this time

In a tall tree, a giant bird-sized creature covered in red fire looks so sound asleep. But his eyes slowly opened as he felt a sign of life near him

He flapped his fire wings making the heat back much more pronounced. The firebird looked at the man with an orange hat. It's been a while since he's seen a human, and when a human being is here it obviously makes him a little surprised

"So you're the one who's interrupting my sleep!."

With the flapping of wings, he came down to the ground and faced face to face with humans in front of him. He saw no fear in the eyes of the man and this was quite surprising to him. But the man has a different view.

Ignel - The Ancient Phoenix

Title : ????

Level : ????

___

The hand of the orange-hated man trembled slightly. See one of the oldest creatures or even one of the first creatures that live in this Athanor world. Yet this was what he had been looking for, something that could even grant him limitless strength

Once again, the ancient flapped his fire wings. Hot temperatures feel so pressing on human skin with orange hats, if left it is not impossible the skin of his body will blister because it is not strong to withstand the heat.

The Phoenix's eyes stared at the beautiful silver blade sheathed neatly on the orange-hat man's back. The silver bar that felt familiar to him, made him know that the man in the orange hat in front of him was a chosen figure.

"So so yeah. RedNight's sword."

The RedNight Sword was the most highly classified sword among the ranks of the other powerful swords. The sword is said to be the bloodiest sword ever. The eternal flames that were attached to her beautiful silver blade, were proof of how bloody this sword was.

Many ancient creatures witnessed the blaze of these blades, but rarely did they survive after witnessing the blaze of red flames. The casualties as well as so much blood, made this sword so cursed. There were a lot of strong people who wore this sword, but their fate was the same. They died by their own swords

However, the Phoenix's eyes were a little confused. The RedNight Sword that was supposed to be so red as blood, but this time it was white and clean. Makes it a little unacceptable, considering how savage this sword was in the past. His blood red blade was a symbol of curse as savage this sword. But the white existence that took over the blade, made him slightly annoyed as it was as if the sin of this sword was completely erased

"So do you want a human?." He put pressure on every word

Hearing that is enough to make the arch of a satisfied smile look behind his large enough crown. He whipped out his silver blade with a single long pull, the energy filling up as well as the red flames strengthening his silver sword.

While confirming his hat he said

"I want your fire!."
