《Rise of the White Dragon 》Chapter 197: Nymphs
Advertisement
Knowing that the purpose of stopping the giant Ryu was because of the ants, the other giants felt happy. After all, Ryu was clumsy, but very sentimental; if he found out that he had killed an ant nest because of his attack, it would have been difficult for anyone to have been able to calm him down later. It was possible that he would have cried so much that he would flood the city…
'Ryu, this time, you won't…' Luan shook his head and interrupted his thoughts.
Luan came back to his family and explained what happened from the top. After that, just as he said to the giant Ryu, he flew further ahead, where there was only the Brazilian army and police fighting the monsters and went to help.
At that time, many people who knew the white dragon recognized Luan, as he was unmasked, and were amazed to discover that he was the white dragon flying on a flying cloud.
"Luan, you were seen without a mask." Maira couldn't help worrying.
"It's irrelevant now," Luan said nonchalantly, "Sooner or later I would have needed to reveal my identity, as many of the skills I showed as the white dragon I could still use if I was wearing a mask, but now I can't have that privilege anymore, as I don't know when monsters will appear, and I can't just rely on my physical strength without relying on the Cloud Origin of mine and also my Negative White Dragon Transformation technique."
"That is true," Maira agreed. "Limiting yourself and not being able to use the same abilities you used as the White Dragon isn't exactly a good choice."
Luan looked at Amanda. "I'll drop you off with Zeus at home first."
"Thanks," Amanda smiled gratefully.
Before long, they had arrived at Dimas Mansion. After leaving Amanda and Zeus there, Luan flew towards the next town.

"Luan, we passed another group of giants. How many of them do you think there are?" Catharina was amazed at the sight of so many giants.
"Not many, but not a few," Luan said, "Because they are so big, they seem to be quite many, but in reality they shouldn't be more than 50 million. Of course, that number by itself is huge, but compared to us humans, it's a small number."
"Oh, so there must be even more giants elsewhere, yes?" Cristina asked.
"Yes, possibly many dimensional cracks that held giants opened up, spread across Brazil. Even outside of Brazil more must have opened." Luan still remembered that even though most of the giants appeared in Brazil, there were still some in Germany and also in South Korea.
During the time which Luan was talking they arrived in another city. There were many monsters there, and they had already killed many people. The army and police were doing their best, but it still wasn't enough.
"Are these angels?" Catharina looked uncertain.
"No, they are nymphs. Be careful when approaching them! Although they are not very dangerous, they hate when they are approached from more than 10 meters carelessly and attack," Luan warned.
"No exceptions?" Catharina, who saw some small and cute nymphs, wanted to somehow get closer to them if possible.
"If you become friends with them, of course, you can get closer. There are also other types of nymphs, but in general, they have the same instinct to attack those who get too close to them," Luan said.
Nymphs were figures that belonged to the category of nature spirits. They were all female figures that were linked to natural elements.
The number of nymphs that were in that place did not total more than one hundred, and some were in grave danger from being attacked by monsters.

"Are they fighting the giants?" Maira frowned.
"No, these aren't exactly giants, but Cyclopes." Luan pointed to the single eye of a Cyclops. "See, how they only have one eye and they are extremely aggressive?"
"One problem after another. Fighting these cyclops must be difficult." Ingrid looked seriously at the Cyclops as they fired laser beams from the eye.
"But, they seem incredibly slow," Cristina commented.
"Yes, that's the Cyclops' weak point. Despite having a colossal strength like the giants, and having a strong and robust body, they are very slow. Of course, even if they are slow, they are very lethal, as their defense makes up for their slowness" Luan explained.
"These ugly monsters which are floating with wings and are fighting nymphs, are they gargoyles?" Ingrid was uncertain about her question. She just thought they looked like the gargoyle creatures of mythology.
"Some look a bit like imps," Cristina commented.
"Gargoyles are typically described as a winged humanoid race with demonic characteristics: usually horns, tail, claws, and beak," Luan said in a warning tone, "Their strong point is the transformation of their body into stone, thus giving them a huge defense, however, in this state, they can't attack, so it's only used to defend against a powerful attack."
Luan continued, "As for the other monsters, they are no different from common animals, but stronger. Those who have some unusual talent are rare. But that said, you all should be careful. Don't let your guard down even when fighting an animal type since they fight with instinct and wait to use their trump cards in the most annoying moments."
When a nymph was about to be killed by a Cyclops, Luan turned his right hand into a white dragon's claw, and with his fingers outstretched, forming a white halo of Negative Qi and Cloud Qi. Bringing his hand a little closer to his chest, he cut between the space and a white slit formed and an arc-shaped attack went off in the direction of the cyclops.
The sound produced when the arc-shaped attack fired was much like the sound of a laser gun one might see in movies. A few seconds later a blood trail appeared on the Cyclops's neck.
Beating her wings, the nymph flew away, startled with fear in her eyes. She did not see the attack coming, nor did she notice when the Cyclops died. She just heard the loud sound that came after and then the Cyclops's head flew up as its body began to shake and fell hard to the ground.
The confused nymph looked at the possible direction this attack might come and spotted Luan and his group from afar. She was even more surprised by the distance and could feel some of Luan's Qi and confirmed that he was the one who had made this attack. She was afraid of the power 'shown' by Luan, and because of that, as much as she wanted to thank him, she just bowed and fled the place to return to the other stronger nymphs.
Luan didn't mind a bit. He didn't do it because he wanted the nymph to be deeply grateful or something like that. He just didn't want a strong strike force to die, and along with them, more and more people would have died. After all, every monster that this nymph killed, fewer people would have died from those monsters.
Because of what happened, the nymphs noticed the presence of Luan and his group. Although he didn't notice hostility coming from them, they still remained cautious. After all, the strength Luan demonstrated by killing a Second Order Cyclops with just one attack had been frightening.

Swindle
—A Celebration of all things chess... Shounen Sports–manga Style. Anasthese is the current reigning World Champion for the Junior Chess Female Division. For years, she's wanted nothing more than to beat the Male Division Champion, Rei. These two are considered prodigies way ahead of their age; none of their peers even come close to holding a candle against them. But be that as it may, Anasthese too, cannot hold a candle to Rei... She's never beaten Rei once he's serious. Anasthese has always considered Rei the best of her generation. It's her lifelong goal to beat and surpass him. That's why, when Rei's cancer had become fatal after their 3rd year running, Anasthese took it hard. Rei will die, with her never having beaten him, not even once. Things take an unexpected turn when Rei reveals that he is far from the "invincible" player Anasthese envisions him to be. Even he has someome he could never beat, not even if his life depended on it... a fellow apprentice who studied with him under GM Amane. A guy so-called "Net". This enrages Anasthese. A person stronger than Rei should not exist. Because if he did, then what has all her efforts for the past years been for? And if this Net "does" exist, why doesn't he challenge Rei for the title? Rei tells her it's not that simple... Net's playstyle is void. It's an enigma. It's chess that should not exist, and should physically not be possible to play. It goes against all logic, and it's power is not something that can be measured in numbers. It's something that would "absolutely not work" in a professional setting. Anasthese attends Rei's funeral as a last rite before setting off for Japan, bound towards the disintegrating Futenma Shintenkan Highschool chessclub, of which there are only two members left: Mukuro and Net. She has to see it with her own eyes, a playstyle that Rei lost to... And as Anasthese stays for the long-term, various misadventures are started at Futenma High, including rebuildung the club, Anasthese's "Royal Guards" (four girls dedicated to serving Anasthese and helping challenge Rei) coming to take her back to America, and unexpected guests gracing the local Sports Meet chess scene. From a guy who can only play well everytime money's involved, to a girl who plays on a weird "Magical Girls vs Orcs" chess set, get introduced to the quirky playstyles that make chess wonderful. (Disclaimer: I am not a chess pro, I'm only 1400. Expect me to have no idea what I'm talking about at certain times...)

Summoning Shenanigans
Adding in [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Sean was a chemist on Earth with a lovely family life. Everything was going well, until a group of gods decide to summon him to their world. An unfortunate appearance by the trickster god derailed a normal summoning, and now Sean finds himself in a pickle. Content warning: There will be profanity and quite probably some gore, though the point of the story will not revovle around any gory scenes. I'm also including traumatising content as there will for sure be slavery and rape. The rape will be alluded to and not described, there are other places for that. I think this also explains the grimdark tag.
