《Devour》Chapter 14: Soul Armor
Advertisement
"Sir Kiba, It's been so long since I witnessed your soul bracelet's might! I'll be rude. Can you send mine regards to your father if you have a chance?" Mr. B let out.
Kida is surprised that his father knows so many people, and the more people he meets that know his father, the more he drifts away from his father, "Of course!"
Blood Tribe ability: The tribesmen can absorb blood from an open wound and blood lying around the battlefield. The collected blood turns to temporary strength and healing. No one wants to go against this kind of powerhouse.
Mickey's soul necklace: A support item that grants complete control over electricity. However, this soul necklace requires a massive power supply, making this item suitable for supporting rather than fighting. It can recharge, but the owner must find a storm to restore the necklace's strength through multiple lighting or five level-five lighting stone.
"Mickey and Dino, to the center," Mr. B announces as he wonders if Mickey is an excellent candidate for Aera.
Jio also walks into the center for no reason and starts stretching, "Mr. B, this time I want Mickey and Dino to fight me."
Everyone looks at him like he's a madman and continues, "Mickey, I remember when you told me that you need an external lighting magic to get powerful, so I'll provide you some."
Jio takes out two level-five lighting stones, and electricity starts to appear on top of him, forming a bird and shouts, "Thunder Bird!"
He doesn't require to say "Thunder Bird."
The Thunder Bird shoots up in the sky and spreads its wings gathering lightings from the clouds, causing a loud roaring thunder, and immediately descends towards Mickey.
Just like the last time dealing with electricity, he looks at the Thunder Bird and raises his right arm, not afraid and smiling. The Thunder Bird melts like snow flowing around Mickey, making everyone question themselves if they're dreaming. Everyone is surprised since this kind of magic control can be done by a Lighting Magus rank magician.

Mickey's body glows while electricity sparks around his body. He inspects his body and tries to process the power insides him and how to employs all this.
Jio throws a bottle of blood that opens upon reaching Dino that he prepared beforehand, while his body absorbs the blood in the bottle. His eyes start to glow red like a fierce animal ready to pounce at any moment and takes his battle-ax, smiling as he expects a good fight.
Mr. B smiles since it has been so long since he witnesses this kind of power as he strikes the bell once.
Mickey disappears and reappears in front of Jio with a lighting ball in his hand flickering, producing an intimidating cracking sound.
*My friend, underestimating me is a lousy choice* Mickey thought as he lands a clean punch to Jio's stomach, but he hears a metallic sound while his hand starts to feel numb.
Jio gets electrocuted for five seconds in the air and surprised everyone as the jet black metal reveals itself under his scattered shirt with a honeycomb's hexagonal pattern while electricity travels around the armor, giving him the ability to move faster but slightly slower than Mickey.
Dino did not just watch the two fight but waited for the right time to strike; he appears behind Jio and swings his battle-ax to surprise Jio with his sneak attack. Jio hits the ground, but it seems that he didn't receive any damage at all. Jio takes out Jon and morphs, extending to a five-meter long staff hitting Dino's chin as everyone looks in anticipation, not knowing what just happened.
Jio grows wings with the same pattern as the body armor, with electricity flowing through it. Dino and Mickey watched him in disbelieve and decided to give their all. Mickey's eyes glow with lighting playing around his eyes while all his power is focusing in his hand, and Dino closes his eyes and focuses all the energy on his battle-ax's sharp edge.

Jio spread his arms and wings mid-air while he also focuses on all magic and energy he absorbs from Mickey and Dino, but Mickey aggressively raises his hand, releasing all the lighting magic from his body to the clouds and gather more power in the sky. The power triple after going through the clouds, and this power can destroy anything it touches.
*What the fuck is that magic control!* Jio sees and feels the magic controlled by Mickey while all of his hair stands up from the imminent danger.
Jio's wings wrap around his body like a ball as he falls while uses the magic and energy he gathered for extra protection. The powerful lighting directly strikes Jio, but Mickey saw half of the power go to the ground and the other half to the wings.
In everyone's eyes, Mickey is like a God releasing his divine power to smite Jio for offending him, but Mickey did not know how powerful his attack can become and hopes for his friend's safety.
As the smoke clears out, everyone saw Jio stands in the middle of the blackened soil and appears to be exhausted.
*An opportunity!* Dino thought as he opens his eyes as it flashes red light across the field and quickly charges towards Jio, swinging his battle-ax with all his might.
Jio's armor and wings move like water to both hands and morph into left and right shields. He combines the shields into one, letting it hit the ground, and braces himself.
When the battle-ax and shield clash, an enormous shock wave rash in the field and the mansion shattering all glass windows and pushing Mickey away, but Aera saw this coming catching Mickey. When he opened his eyes, he saw Aera's worried yet beautiful face as he stares at her charming eyes.
"This time, we have a draw!" Mr. B announces his judgment and is happy to witness such a good fight tonight.
"I didn't know your that powerful!" Dino happily complements Jio as they catch their breath.
"Thank you," Jio reply as he walks with Dino to the group.
Jio is exhausted from the fight since all he did was defend himself and absorbing the energy from their massive attack that requires control and a lot of attention, or he would be saying hello to his dead village parents. He is happy to use Jon and learn something new, and he can start finding a new way to improve himself.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

The apocalypse happened and it was named- The system’s advent
The world either ended or it began when the system came online. People can now be immortal and the laws of reality are intertwined with what the people of earth know as RPG game systems. All of this and yet it is only the begining. What is in store for humanity when everything they thought was just smoke and mirrors turns out to be as real as they are and far more deadly. One man went back in time because of an event that shouldn't be possible to a place he had forgotten. For him it was a chance at redemption for a life he is ashamed of. It was a chance to make things right with the people he couldn't face before it was too late to say sorry. A changed man will attempt to defy logic that he doesn't even realize exists. He tried to be the dashing rogue and failed, he tried for the overbearing shield bearer and was worse than useless, he tried to be the rightous paladin and not even the dark gods would accept him. The only path left was the 'weakest' of them all. Ok so alot of you probably reading this are people who have read my previous works and I can only say 'thank you for your incredible patience' so much before it gets awkward but for those you who don't know this is my third story and no I haven't dropped the other two it's just that tragedy struck when I was writing them and I haven't been able to get my motivation for them back yet so I'm trying this as essentially a jump start to get back into the fight so to speak. I'm really hopefull that I can pull this story off the way I want it to be but only time will tell so here's to hoping, now let's get this show started.
