《Xianshi Inn (A contemporary Xianxia novel)》Chapter 447
Advertisement
“Ting!” “Ting!” a slim wolf with dark purple fur, and another with silvery white fur tried to assault Caroline from both sides with their shiny claws, but their attacks were instantly stopped by a translucent orange and red shield and a battle axe with the same color. With great surprise, both of these wolves, who were in their female human forms earlier, found out that this only slightly muscular looking blonde human girl was not wavering for even a little bit when facing them at the same time. What threatened their egos more was the energy aura surrounding this girl, which was both burning their fur and skin with a scorching heat, and pressing upon their arms and claws with intense air pressure.
Caroline stomped on the ground with her right foot, releasing a ring of fire accompanied by an expanding wall of wind around her. The wolf with dark purple fur was slim and fast, and she was quick to realize what Caroline was going to do and instantly backed away from her. The wolf with silvery white fur was more muscular and thus heavier and slower and found out about Caroline’s move later, the ring of fire and wall of wind hit her when she was trying to back off, leaving some small burn marks and some cuts on her front legs.
Caroline then swung her axe forward horizontally and instead of an energy blade, she released a bright moving pillar of orange flames, which was blowing towards the wolf with dark purple fur.
While her teammate was trying to dodge the moving pillar of flames, the wolf with silvery white fur lunged at Caroline again with light blue energy concentrated on her right claw. But right at this moment, Caroline already turned around along with the momentum from her battle axe swing, and then unleashed a shield bash aiming right at her claw attack.

“Bang!” the nails of the wolf with silvery white fur broke and shattered when they came into contact with the blunt surface of Caroline’s shield, and the impact did not stop there - a fiery shockwave pulsed through her right paw and her entire right front leg, and dislocated her wrist and shoulder sockets while sending her flying back.
The tail, the back and the eyes of the wolf with dark purple fur lit up in purple light as she sped up and hopped around the pillar of flames and came at Caroline from behind. Caroline was not able to turn around quickly and block the attack with either her shield or battle axe, so she just concentrated her Xuanli on her back and formed into a thin layer of floating armor.
“Crack - boom!” the armor exploded the moment it was struck by a sharp energy spike emitted from the wolf’s mouth. The wolf was pushed back by the shockwave from the explosion, while Caroline took advantage of it and leapt forward and tried to get away from the fight - there was no benefit of winning it, all she had to do now was get away.
Sounds of super powered individuals clashing against each other and explosions filled the air, and several homes and other residential buildings were already torn down by their fight. Even though the fights between the lycans and another group of individual power wielders created continuous booms and bangs as loud as thunder and lightning, Caroline could still hear the moans and cries of panicked and injured people either buried beneath the fallen buildings or just trying to get away.
“Thomas! Detective!” Caroline saw the car coming and waved at them: “Go! Go back!”
“What’s happening here?!” Thomas saw the explosions and the individuals that just came from the bottom of the fallen building fighting a small pack of wolves that seemed to come from the center of the residential area, and he had to reached out of the car window and shouted his question at Caroline while they were still some distance away due to the fallen trees and house debris on the road as well as the running people.

“We’re caught in a fight!” Caroline shouted with a spell, which delivered her voice right to Thomas and Detective Kuhn even though she was relatively far away: “Go! Leave and call for help!”
“Shit!” Thomas was about to tell Detective Kuhn to start driving away, but then he saw that two wolves leapt from somewhere behind the rubbles and fallen buildings and started attacking her both at the same time.
“You do whatever you need to do!” Detective Kuhn got out of the car and said to Thomas: “I’ll call in some support to evacuate the civilians!”
“Call in only elites, and mention that there are extremely dangerous people here!” Thomas speed dialed the number of Josephine Wong and said: “Tell them do not just send normal cops here, there’d be more casualties!”
“Hello, Thomas. I have cut off my phone temporarily because I am either in a dangerous place or I am doing something dangerous. If you need emergency backup, please dial 1 to connect to the next available member of my team; if you need help from the Division in general, please dial 2 to get to the incident report department. ” Thomas ended up connecting with an automated answer recorded by Josephine Wong, and he dialed 1 immediately.
Detective Kuhn rushed to a three story building with a big chunk destroyed, from which people were rushing out carrying all of their valuables.
Caroline charged at the wolf with dark purple fur while leaving a trail of burning footprints behind her, the wolf’s body lit up again as she shifted to the side and flailed her tail at Caroline’s left shoulder and neck. But a wall of wind surrounding Caroline’s body cushioned the blow, while a thin layer of energy armor on Caroline’s glowing body scorched the sharp and hardened fur and hair on her tail.
“Boom!” the silvery white wolf charged at Caroline as she turned around and clashed with the side of Caroline’s battle axe, this time Caroline did not stand firm and take the hit. Instead, she rode the momentum and backed off further away from the residential area.
“Who are you?” the wolf with dark purple fur landed on the side of her teammate with silvery white fur: “How come we’ve never heard of you before?”

How to Raise Your Dungeon
A dungeon core awakens for the first time. It knows nothing, it has nothing, but it can hear something. Voices, whispering, talking, and sharing. For now, they are distant. But it believes, if it proves itself, they may provide it with wisdom and direction. And so its slow but steady growth begins. Polls will come when the dungeon specifically wants to choose between a number of options, and believes it will receive an answer. However, it will "hear" any comments made on the most recent chapter, and these will shape its behaviour. It trusts you implicitely. This story is an exercise in stretching my creative muscles, so with each decision made, the options and opportunities open to the dungeon will change- some closing off forever. The dungeon will face threats periodically, and its fate in these encounters will be heavily influenced by your advice, though it will of course do its absolute best even without advice. It hardly wants to die. Heavily inspired by There Is No Epic Loot Here, Only Puns, though my approach to the concept is somewhat different from that work.

Force Majeure: A web novel
In the Qursan Empire, the grey walls of the city press down on its subjects. It is a highly divided society which is based on the magical strength of its citizens. While the most powerful are trained as Mages, the majority of citizens use their limited skills with essence to power the city in their assigned jobs. Jano is pretty much the lowest of the low in the Qursan Empire. A Class Ten citizen forced into transitory work after having his power restricted. When he gets the opportunity to change all of that, he takes it with both hands. Please note this is an edited version of my story ‘city of captives’. It follows a similar structure but I’ve ironed out some of the kinks. If you read that version, much of this will be similar though there are some differences. This is a slow burning progression fantasy. Please expect at least two chapters per week. I love writing this story but I do have unfortunate things to deal with like work and life outside of writing. I may be able to write and edit more than that, but it will never be less! If you enjoy this, consider following me on Instagram by just searching Crow J Williams.

Come with me to travel and discover all this in... Magic x Magic... - - / - Hey, guys! I want to tell everyone that I managed to recreate a text structure that satisfied me. Finding this new structural formula, I proceeded to rewrite all the released chapters (0000~0048). Rewriting the chapters, I would like to make it clear that; 1 The basis of the story will not change. Only a few small details will be changed, so that those readers who do not want to re-read the chapters will not be harmed in following the story. 2 Those interested in starting over will be rewarded with the introduction of new POVs of some already established plots from the already released chapters. And as I said before, the entire story already developed will not change. Treat this as a way of enriching some plots and backstories for some characters. 3 I decided to bring some plots that would only appear after finishing the first arc. These storylines don't have a development in this arc, but they are storylines that are happening at the same time as the events of the first arc. So there are some more mysteries to reward those who will re-read the novel. Rewrite Update:New Reading Aid Rule: Incomplete.Prologue to Book 01 (Arc 01): Incomplete.Rewritten Chapters: 0000. I want to warn you that for now the chapters are being released gradually, don't give up on me... For more details visit my Patreon page, you can find details about me and the novel 'Magic x Magic' in public posts. A big hug to everyone!Cover art by me, ScanLi.
