《Yin Yang Saint of Athena》A Battle with the 3 Specters – Guarding the Mother Dragon’s Nest
Advertisement
Kuro finally found someone to vent his rage on. Upon seeing the sight of the three Specters, he did not hesitate to take out a God Slaying Arrow (GSA). This GSA did not contain any of Athena’s God/Deity cosmos and hence he can still continue to fight after using one.
Kuro loaded the GSA into his Sagittarius YY Bow and locked onto Basilisk Sylphid. He did not bother hiding his killing intent as he clenched his teeth a summoned all of the Light cosmos that he can. In a split second he was able to attain the Half a Step 8th Sense cosmos. He infused it into the GSA and quickly vanished from where he stood.
Several notifications rang in Kuro’s mind.
“Ding!”
“Infusing Light Cosmos into the GSA.”
“Progress at 10%”
”…”
“Progress at 100%!”
“Cosmos Fusion Successful!”
“Yang God Slaying Arrow obtained!”
Kuro then suddenly appeared a couple of dozen meters away from Sylphid and without hesitation he unleashed the GSA. Everyone was shocked and dumbfounded as they could not believe that as soon as the 3 Specters appeared, one of them was now facing utter annihilation!
“Sagittarius! God Slaying Arrow!”
“What th-”
The GSA pierced Sylphid’s art without any resistance. His Surplice was disintegrated in a flash. The light cosmos contained in the arrow penetrated towards his veins and internal organs, causing him to scream in agony and pain.
“Nooooooooo!!!”
As the other 2 Specters where still in shock, Dai and Hyunckel also employed their strongest techniques in order to take down Alraune Queen.
“Dual Dragon Crests!”
“Gigadein!”
“Gigabreak Strash!” (Avan Strash imbued with the power of Gigabreak)
“Megante! “
“Bloody Scraid!”
Alraune Queen was cleaved in two from head downwards due to the power of the Gigabreak Strash. Her heart was also pierced with the Megante powered Bloody Scraid, disintegrating it in a flash. The last remaining Specter, Harpy Valentine, recovered from his initial shock and smiled.

“Fools!”
“Physical Attacks cannot kill us!”
“The Soul Sealing Beads were destroyed in Elysium in the last Holy War!”
“You cannot kill us!”
After having said his piece, Harpy Valentine’s arrogance was clearly demonstrated. But instead of getting flustered, Kuro, Dai and Hyunckel only smiled in return.
“Although the Soul Sealing Beads were destroyed, it does not matter.”
“My God Slaying Arrow can even kill Gods.”
“Even if you are a Minor God, your soul will perish.”
“Only Major Gods and Deities can have a hope of survival if struck with it.”
“Look at your fellow Specter. He is being disintegrated from the inside out.”
“His soul will fade into nothing, and it will be difficult to reincarnate again.”
After a couple of breaths, numerous system notifications were heard by Kuro.
“Ding!”
“Successfully killed the Specter Basilisk Slyphid!”
“Experience +50000!”
“Mastery of the Sagittarius YY Bow has increased!”
“You are unable to use a GSA for the day.”
“Sealing this technique for 24 hours!”
“Ding!”
“Continue to Work Hard, Saint!”
On the other hand, Dai and Hyunckel were also grinning.
“The essence of Avan’s Strash is to sever everything.”
“It does not distinguish between physical and spiritual.”
“Souls are of no exception.”
“This is also true for Megante.”
“The spell Megante invokes the User’s Lifeforce.”
“In can inflict huge damage to another one’s Lifeforce.”
“One’s soul is part of one’s Lifeforce and hence it is of no exception.”
“Just look at Alraune Queen’s agony. She too will suffer the same fate. She will have trouble in her reincarnation.”
Harpy Valentine’s arrogance was replaced with fear, reluctance and shock. He did not expect that within the time it takes to finish tea, both of his cohorts would be eliminated by these youngsters. Little did he knew that his nightmare was only beginning.

Suddenly, Pop, Leona, Souma and Koga unleashed their attacks as well. Harpy Valentine’s split second hesitation provided them with an opening.
“Pegasus! Sui Sei Ken!”
“Lionnet! Flame Desperado!”
After the two Yang infused attacks hit Harpy Valentine on both sides, Leona and Pop released their spells which in fact took a bit of preparation.
“Megante!”
“Compressed Merazoma!”
“Megante!”
“Purifying Hyado!”
Leona and Pop both infused their lifeforce towards their spells. Pop’s Compressed Merazoma hit Harpy Valentine squarely in the face, while Leona’s Ice spell enveloped Harpy Valentine, turning him into an ice sculpture.
Screams of agony and pain can be heard as Harpy Valentine’s ice sculpture fell down with a thud. The four attacks and its aftermath caused tremendous devastation towards his body. His soul and body were slowly being corroded.
Without even bothering to look at the fallen 3 Specters, Kuro turned his attention to everyone.
“Hyunckel, you and your team, please go with Dai towards the direction of the Mother’s Nest.”
“Please be the final line of defense there.”
“Koga, you and your team will go with us.”
“We’ll set up a blockade here.”
Koga and Hyunckel both nodded in response to Kuro’s plan. Hyunckel, Dai and the rest of Hyunckel’s team made their way towards the Mother Dragon’s Nest. Kuro and Koga went to scout the middle area of the Dragon Mountain.
“We can focus our defense here, in this rocky area. The Specters/Monsters dispatched by Vearn and Soma will surely pass by here” Kuro indicated.
“I’ll have Wolf Haruto setup some basic traps for the undead” muttered Koga.
“We have some basic undead talismans and healing talismans with us.”
“This can help Pop save his Mana.”
Kuro and Koga looked at their respective teams. After a couple of breaths, Kuro initiated the first major mission of the Yin Yang Corps.
“Yin Yang Corps, move out!”
“Haruto, take care of setting up the traps!”
“The rest of you, eliminate the remaining undead!”
“We should finish at the time it takes for an incense to burn!”
And so, the two teams took up their respective duties and scattered in a flash.

The Badger Dungeon
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Dungeons. Everyone's heard of them. Sprawling maze-like places where you can find special objects that can't be found anywhere else in the world, train to become a great warrior or wizard, and slay dozens of monsters. Drops! Loot! Glory! What more could you want? Dungeons are places of danger and adventure, full of thrills and maybe even romance, where people enter as your normal and everyday person but leave as a hero. Even a child knows what a dungeon is! A dungeon is controlled and ruled over by its Dungeon Core, a mana crystal that's gained sentience, and with it a mind just as twisted as the home that it makes for itself. Dungeon Cores all have very simple wants and needs: to expand and to devour, and to that end, they'll do absolutely everything and anything within their power. Everyone knows that. Sometimes, though? Sometimes the Dungeon Core doesn't know that. Sometimes they wake up all alone, confused and with no clue what they should do, and find themselves quickly becoming the home to a family of badgers and other creatures. The Dungeon Core can be left struggling to figure out their role in the world and how exactly they're supposed to achieve it. They're really doing their best, and you shouldn't judge them for it! The badger thing was a complete mistake but there's just no way they can turn back and fix it so they're just trying to make do, okay?! What would you do in their situation?!

Dungeon of the Dead [hiatus]
The dungeons in this realm usually do not develop truely sentient personalities until much later on in their life. As such they are unable to generate the power the Dungeon God needs to function.

The fallen (?) hero and Aži Dahāka's soul fragment
I have to apologize.A certain real life problem that I thought I got rid of has caught up to me once again.I tried to continue writing, but my mind was not in the right track to do so and thus, as some people had said, the quality of the latest 2 chapters had turned from the usual "bad" to "worst". So, I reluctantly have to say that I will be away until I can sort things out.I can't say when, but I do intend to return to writing. I might lurk around to read other people's works though. I will be turning my attention to stories with "tragedy" and "despair". The five of us were summoned to this world from our clubroom two years ago to be made as heroes.Shouldn't forceful summoning like that be counted as kidnapping?Well, we chose to go with the heroes route.After harsh training and battles, not to mention all the killings, we finally defeated the demon lord.However, all those achievements literally became nothing, it wasn't just forgotten, it was erased to be totally nothing as even the written records were somehow being disposed of. I was too naive. Who would have thought that the side we have been fighting alongside with, the side we were fighting for, was the one to bring our demise?After I had to see everyone else turn into nothingness, somehow... I alone survived. Note: I will attempt to fix the grammar problem with the help of lieutenant colonel fletterman. This may delay the release of future chapter. Chapter 1 is fixed. Chapter 2 is fixed.
