《Slayer of Kings》Chapter 10 - On The Brink of Death Once Again
Advertisement
The girl looked like she wanted to say something, but before she could her body gave up on her.
Was she angry at him for killing her? Was she thankful that he put her out of her misery? Did she forgive the boy thinking it was not his mistake but the figures?.
Then, before the boy even had any time to react to what happened a slash came right to his neck from the man when the boy's head fell to the ground it had a confused and shocked expression on his face.
Both died with many questions on their mind however those questions will never be answered to them.
After the girl died, the man dropped her dead body to the ground, then he faced the two other people that were left, Han and Leo.
Han felt a chill run down his spine he didn't want to die not like this he had his family to take care of his wife his daughter who will look after them once he is dead? The only income they have is him if he were to die then how will they survive? How will his little daughter live a happy life? He wanted to scream he wanted to run, but he was trapped, he saw how brutally those two had died; he didn't want to die for his family, even if it meant he had to humiliate himself and beg for mercy he could not die.
Han fell to his knees and pleaded with all his might "Please I beg you don't kill me, I still have my family to take care of my little daughter she is only 8 years old I nee-" His words were stopped mid-sentence by a sword that pierced the back of his head and went out from his mouth he died begging for his life for the sake of his family.

The man then looked at Leo, who had no idea what to do he had no power to defend himself with he had no power to run away Leo felt disdain to himself, he hated it so much but there was nothing he could do at this moment.
The man did not attack Leo as he did with the other he kept staring at Leo then after about 15 seconds he spoke, "Do you remember me?" was all the man said to Leo but this shocked him.
It was not the words the man said that shocked him the most, but it was the voice that belonged to the man. That voice belonged to someone he knew.
'Maybe a coincidence?'
'But then why would he ask if I remember him?'
The man took off his plain mask to reveal a young and a bright face, seeing that face confirmed Leo's doubts, the person standing in front of him was none other than...
Cao...
"But, how?" was all that Leo could ask.
Cao smiled in response "That last battle we had was great, it was short and I died in the end, but it made me excited, it made me want more..."
"Leo you have no idea about the powers that control this world and you will never know about them because this is the end for you."
"After I kill you, I will take your 'Tenebris Sword' and combine it with my 'Caetus Sword' after that I will have the 'Infinite Sword' with that Leo do you have any idea about the things I can accomplish? I will finally be able to get revenge on my father for what he did to me and my mother," Cao laughed with confidence as he knew he had finally won.

"I failed to kill you last time with my own hands, but this time I won't fail in the last world I hate to admit, but you were stronger than me, however in this world, you are nothing but a mere mortal."
"I don't get it how did we both come here? And if we came to this world how is that you are stronger than me? We both died at the same time." Leo said he tried to think of all the ways that this could have happened, but he had no answer.
"Leo, there is no need for you to know anything as it'll be useless once you die, but before you die, let me have some fun," Said Cao with a sinister smile on his face.
Cao suddenly attacked with his right-hand Leo saw nothing but a flash his eyes were that of a normal mortal, he was incapable of seeing the movements of an enemy like Cao.
Leo tried to activate his sword, but he failed once again as the sword did nothing to help him in his current situation.
Cao held Leo's hand, he then bent Leo's fingers all at once Leo was powerless against Cao he tried to break free but the difference in strength between them was too great.
Leo, however, did not scream he held it all inside, he could not think about anything as the pain of having all his fingers broken at the same time was too much for him to bear.
Cao did not stop there, he then twisted both of Leo's hands until they were dislocated from his shoulder Leo could not move his hands or his fingers anymore the pain he felt made him feel like he would lose his consciousness at any moment now.
While Leo was in unimaginable pain and was trying to hold it all in Cao was laughing like a maniac, "Tell me, Leo, how does it feel? Does it feel the same way as your arms being cut off from the old world?"
"This brings back memories," Said Cao as he stomped Leo on his chest, which broke his rib cage and his organs inside were damaged which caused internal bleeding and large amounts of blood, spilled out from Leo's body.

8 159The London Phantom: A Superhero Webnovel
London is an old city. It has survived floods, fires, plagues and the man-made smog of industry. It has stood firm against the armies of Vikings, Saxons, Normans and the aerial might of the Luftwaffe. It has borne witness to dynsatic feuds, civil wars, military occupation and the sin of regicide. Through all these disasters the city has survived not through force of arms, though its walls were once the envy of the world, but through adapting to the times. Enemies become dependant on the city, and the wealth of the world that flows through it, and so become new allies. If the rulers change, then the city welcomes them with open arms, and open lines of credit. In this way the city seeks to preserve its ancient rights and position of power. Superheroes are a new phenomenon. The first superpowered man walked out of the Nevada desert in 1950, and the world was forever changed. Across the planet, men and women with exceptional abilities made themselves known. At first, they were little more than another source of fear in the era of Mutually Assured Destruction, but over time attitudes changed and the concept of the Superhero was created in the city of Los Angeles. From there the phenomenon spread across the globe; superheroes went from being feared arms of the state to a symbol of hope in these maddening times. Times have changed. Sixty years from the emergence of the first superhero, the City of London stands on a precipice. Two years have passed since the madman Fawkes nearly brought down the United Kingdom and the remnants of the Bow Street Runners, London's premier superhero team, are struggling to keep order in a city that seems on the brink of collapse. London stands on a knife's edge, with criminal organisations that once stuck to the shadows becoming more bold, and ancient powers from myth and legend making themselves known. Alexander Laszewski has recently 'awakened' and has become entirely unremakable, effectively making himself invisible to the world. He must use his newfound power to navigate a city on the edge of collapse. If only he could figure out how to turn it off.
8 60The Elder of Mediocrity

Oz “Da Shan” Elderweiss is just your average guy in a not average world. He’s not that strong, he’s not that weak — and he’s not getting any better. Da Shan discovers that you’re never too old to have your own coming of age saga. Filled with a burning desire for revenge, but the inability to carry it out, he hatches an insane scheme to change his potential and achieve exponential growth. But his enemies are quite literally the members of his own household and his close friends. He must fight tooth and nail for what he believes in and for the freedom to carve his own path. Join him as he battles people with both the best and worst intentions, with his life on the line. Current Word Count: 136 000, First arc complete. A lot of new content has been added to the early chapters since the end of May. The first chapters are still under construction and editing, but all the major changes are done. I was a webnovel junkie for a long time, but I found it hard to find novels with solid characters, decent plot, philosophical underpinnings and a fully painted world to keep me going. I've taken from every genre I've liked to make a story that satisfies my own cravings for a good story. If you like the story or have suggestions please leave a comment or review. I hope this novel is fun, provocative but above all fun. Enjoy. Yours truly, James Paul Addington PS I will release at least two chapters a week, or one really long chapter. Concerning the tags: The story is primarily Fantasy with Wuxia influence in some elements. Romance won't happen for the first two arcs or so (roughly 40 chapters), I want to build the world before I do that. Tragedy is because of an event that occurs in the book, not the tone of the book. The book is more lighthearted. Slice of Life doesn't occur till the third arc (the romance happens during that arc as well). Magic will also show up more in later arcs, but appears throughout. Reincarnation it's not a reincarnation like in the traditional sense, but it has a similar concept.
