《Death... and me》Chapter 43: Exchange
Advertisement
Alanda was with the leading group when suddenly, he rushed out. As soon as Diakar crushed the red bead, he immediately noticed it.
'What is happening with those two? There shouldn't have been another accident.'
Back on Rean's group side, they were not as fast as the Python, it only took it a few seconds to reach their group. It then pounced at Roan, but Diakar, who was beside him, took out his Sword and slashed against it. The Sword hit the enemy's body, but nothing more than a small cut was left behind. Diakar has the highest cultivation, being in the Middle Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm, but even he couldn't damage it.
Fortunately, it was still strong enough to deflect the attack, giving Roan more than sufficient time to dodge. Roan didn't run after that, though. Instead, he took that chance and slashed against the Python's eyes. Because of the speed of the Python, Roan already understood that running would be meaningless. They need to resist until Alanda appears.
The Python closed its eyes, but it wasn't enough to prevent the cut. Especially since the power of the Darkness Element immediately started to erode the surrounding area. Rean had heard Roan's call, appearing on the other side in a second. He was planning to hit the other eye as well. However, the Python understood the danger and immediately dodged while swiping its tails against Rean.
Although Rean used his Sword to block, his body was too small, so he was still sent flying. The only good thing was that he didn't get injured. The Python didn't take this group seriously before, but it won't hold back anymore.
Roan looked at it and then told everyone.
"Don't try to run, we are not as fast as it. Try to stall for time. Attack together, and defend together. Alanda should be here in any second."

The Python didn't waste any time and attacked once more. However, it circled around and went to Rean, who landed further away from Roan, Diakar, and Opril.
Rean didn't panic. He waited for the moment that the Python pounced at him and used his Light Element on his legs, dodging the attack in the last second. However, the Python's tail came once more while still on the air after jumping to avoid the previous attack.
"Fuck!"
Bam!
Although Rean had used Light Element in his arms this time to block the tail with his Sword, he didn't have a foothold. Thus, Rean was sent rolling in the air, even further away from Roan and the others. Noticing the chance, the Python immediately ran after him.
Roan and the others were close but would need another second to help Rean. As for Rean, he hasn't landed yet, so he couldn't see things clearly. Roan could see that Rean would be swallowed whole if he didn't arrive there in time, but he couldn't use the enhancement in his body like Rean.
[Are you two idiots? Why haven't you traded Elements through the connection of your bodies yet? Just have Rean send Light Element within the thread and use it on yourself. At the same time, send Dark Element back for the exchange.]
Sister Orb!
Rean and Roan didn't have time to think, so Rean gathered Light Element while Roan did the same thing with Dark Element, quickly making the exchange. This was the first time they tried something like this, but surprisingly, it felt as natural as breathing. Light and Dark Elements passed through the thread in an equal exchange. Two opposites, still, one couldn't exist without the other, the real meaning of Yin and Yang.
For a moment, a small part of Rean and Roan's hairs changed, showing a mix of Black and White colors. Roan ignored this fact and immediately used the Light Element in his legs. He hasn't tried something like this before, but he had seen Rean enough times.

For a second, his speed soared, and he was able to reach the side of the Snake's head just as it was about to swallow Rean. He slashed down against the same eye he hit before, leaving behind an even deeper cut. Not only that, but he had used Rean's Light Element to increase the power of his arms in the last moment too. The Python's attack direction changed, and Rean finally landed on the ground.
Rean didn't waste this chance and did the same thing, slashing against the Python's other eye, who had lost its balance due to Roan's attack. Light Element increased the power of his arms while Dark Element was used on the Sword. The enemy had no time to dodge, and its other eye was hit as well. Greater damage while leaving the erosion of the life force effect behind.
The Python was now blind! Because it couldn't see anymore, it immediately went berserk, swiping his tail around. Rean and Roan were once again sent flying, but the Python didn't pursue. Instead, it tried to go underground one more time to escape. It needed time to heal its eyes.
"Hmph! Since you are already here, why don't you stay for a while longer?"
It was at this moment that Alanda arrived. He grabbed the Snake's tail and swung it around. The half part of its body that was already underground quickly came out. Alanda is at the Foundation Establishment Realm, so he and the Python should have similar combat power. But because the Python was blind, it didn't pose too much of a threat to Alanda.
Rean, Roan, Diakar, and Opril also helped on the sidelines. With Alanda's Sword piercing through its skull, the Python finally stopped moving. It was dead!
Seeing its body, Alanda let out a sigh of relief.
"It is finally over."
It was then that he looked at Rean and Roan. He could see their hairs, which are black and white, slowly turning back to their original colors. Not only that, but he was also close when Rean and Roan used the other's Element. However, he decided to ask about it later.
"Just why is there a Stage Two Demon Beast in this place?"
Rean's group shook their heads. They, too, had no idea.

The Silver Mana - Book 1: Initiate
I used to be a healthy, young guy with a normal life - I had a career planned in professional soccer, a girlfriend, lots of hobbies, and loads of fun. Until the accident. Which changed my life. A few years later I had adjusted to my new reality, adjusted to being in a wheelchair, adjusted to having someone take care of me 24/7. And then the world changed. Old people and kids did not make it. And neither was I supposed to make it. But never count me out. If anything, I am tenacious. This new world was different. People could do magic. And there were monsters. And what about me? I had mana as well, silver mana. Which no one else seemed to have. The only problem was, I did not know what to do with it. Until I really needed to. Author's note: This is the rewrite of Silver Mana. The first bunch of chapters (until I will have caught up to level 2 of the dungeon) should be quite familiar to people that have read the original. There are some changes in content, but the story follows the original fairly closely for at least the first 150-200 pages. Most of the changes are in the writing, and some of the details of how things work. A few of the side characters get a bit more attention too. Some general comments to avoid disappointment: 1. The MC likes to swear. If you object to reading the word "fuck" at least once and usually multiple times each chapter don't read the book. "Fuck" is such a great, allencompassing word... fuck that; what the fuck?; fuck me! Fuck! one word, expressing so many nuances. And, frankly, the people I know that use fuck as a swear word.. they often use it a lot. 2. If you are looking for immediate progression, rapid advancement of the story, etc.... read another book. This one takes a bit. 3. I am NOT Pirateaba (who is writing The Wandering Inn) or anyone close to that level of productivity. If you expect to read 10k words every 3 days, or even just once a week... sorry. I've got a busy life. This is for fun, I have no patreon, paypal, anything, so I write when it is fun and however much is fun. Not more. And sometimes that turns out to be a decent amount, sometimes nothing. I have another book (Marrow) so that complicated things - basically I switch between the two whenever the muse strikes me.

I Tripped Over Satan
Perhaps it had not been such a good idea to drink that night after all... To be fair, she hadn't known it would lead to a deal with the Devil. Oops?

Falling Through the Cracks
After falling through a rather unexpected crack in the universe that spawned under his bed, Alex finds himself in a world filled with monsters and magic. Now instead of worrying about SATs and college applications, he only has demons, magic and rips though the very fabric of the universe to occupy his mind. Quite a bit easier in his opinion. This story has abuse, trama and brushes breifly on suicide. I`ll try to include warnings on chapters that deal heavily in any of those. I’m also a very new writer, so please let me know of any mistakes you see! Updates Mondays and Thursdays Image credit: Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech/S.
