《Elf, Human and Vampire》CHAPTER 12: THE DIFFERENT
Advertisement
“Moon Night mode activated.” Said Aoi and Calen simultaneously. Suddenly, both of their body was covered with a blue aura. Their form is so strong until making the ground crumble.
“Moon Night speed.” Calen dash toward Aoi with a fast speed. Her movement is so fast until makes her look like she disappears in the middle of battle. Then, she swings her dagger towards Aoi's body with a full power. However, before her weapons reach Aoi body,
“Moon Night speed.”
Zupp!!! Aoi disappeared from her place too.
Calen was very shocked. She never thinks that her enemy also can master the Moon Night Speed. The Moon Night Speed is the special move that upgrades from an Acceleration magic. If Acceleration magic is the combination of wind magic with the agility of the user, then Moon Night speed is even higher magic because it was a combination between all the user six senses with the high-level winds magic. Only a certain can be used this movement. However, when she thinks back it was not something surprising at all because Aoi is the one of guardians too.
Then, Aoi appears behind Calen's back and swings her sword toward Calen's body. However, Calen notices it and quickly dodge that attack by rolling her body to the ground. Aoi attack missed and hit the air only.
Calen gets up from her falling and tried to launch an attack toward Aoi but Aoi doesn’t give her a chance to react. Aoi dashes toward Calen with a faster movement and gives a giving a relentless attack toward Calen's body. Calen tried to block but because she is not properly getting up and correct her posture yet, not all the attacks can be blocked.
“This girl thinks she can beat me just because she can master Moon Night speed too. Not only that, but she also doesn’t give me enough time to react.” Calen talks to herself. “Then how about…
“Moon Night Acceleration.” Calen increases her speed even more. Suddenly, her body becomes, even more, lighter and her movement get even more faster. Her movement is so fast until making three of her shadow to appears when she moved. Then, she attacks Aoi from all directions at the same time.
From Aoi's side, she tried her best to match with Calen's speed. However, because of the sudden increase of Calen's speed drastically, she cannot catch up anymore. Calen speed is so fast until makes the table turn around. “This is bad, if continue like this I will be lost this battle.” Aoi talks to herself.
“What the matter… can catch up with my speed?” Calen provoking Aoi.
“Don’t get too cocky… I’m also can move even faster. Booster.” Aoi tried to increase her speed even more by adding the speed magic to her body. However, no matter how hard she tried to increase her speed she still cannot catch up with Calen. Her attack just only hit Calen's shadow and not her real body.
Then, Calen takes the opportunity when Aoi busy fight with her shadow to attack Aoi’s body. Aoi realizes the attack was coming and quickly dodges by stepping back but because of the difference in their speed, Calen's weapons hit a little her body.

Aoi steps back, caught up a breath, and thinks about her next strategy. “Her speed is truly amazing. I never meet someone as fast as her before.” Said Aoi to herself. She really needs to find a way to defeated Calen. She still cannot match up with her speed even with all the booster magic that she used. There must be some other ways or weakness with Calen magics.
Then Aoi looks at the scratch on her body because of Calen's attack before. She looks carefully at the scratch and suddenly an idea comes out from her mind. “So, is that it…” with a smiley face.
On the other side, Calen still not finish and dashed toward Aoi place. However, her movement stops in the middle of ways when she looks at Aoi's smiling face while thrust her sword to the ground. Calen feels suspicious and stepping back in her movement. She cancels back her attack.
“What the matter with you?” Ask Calen.
“No… it looks like this battle has ended.” Reply Aoi while still smiling.
***
“Has Ended. So, you have given up now?” Ask Calen with a smile.
“No… but I had discovered the weakness between your form.” Reply Aoi with a calm expression while canceling back her Moon Night form.
Calen that looking at her opponent's action feels very strange because Aoi wants to fight her with only her base form. Did she know that Moon Night form is so strong that rumor said the one that achieves this form can fight an army alone? And cancel out this form while facing her just only will bring death to her. Just how much confidence that Aoi has in her analysis.
“Weakness! Stop joking around… there is no weakness with my power.” Said Calen with a higher voice while dashed toward Aoi's body.
Clang! Their weapons clash.
“There are.” While tried to hold Calen's attack and push her backward.
“What (Nani)?” Calen feels strange because Aoi can push her body backward even in her base form.
Then Aoi used a little bit of her energy to make Calen stepping back. “Listen here. There is a weakness in your Moon Night mode. As you know Moon Night is one of the strongest forms that Elf can achieve. This is because only the strongest Elf in the kingdom and the one that carries the trust by the moon can achieve to this level. This form will give you the power to increase your ability like attack, magic, defense, speed, strength, and more.” Explain Aoi.
“So, what do you want to say?”
“However, the Moon Night that you used is not stable.” Continue Aoi. “You are to focus on training your speed making other abilities fall behind. Moon Night form is the form that increases all the power. However, if you just to focus on one ability only, you will make the other ability fall behind and in the end, your power will not balance. In other words, you just only get fast but your attack, defense, strength, and magic doesn’t change at all.”

“Huh… My power is not balanced you said. Stop joking around. Moon Night shadow.” Calen increases her speed even more and attacks Aoi's body. Her movement is so fast until making 10 shadow to appears.
“Huuuh.” Aoi sigh while not moving at all. “You still don’t get it.” She pities with her opponent's action.
“Take this.” Calen swings her weapons toward Aoi's body with full of her strength. However, she felt weird because none of her attacks is damaging or even scratches Aoi who is not moving at all. Then, she proceeds more with continuous attack toward Aoi's body but it still does not change. Her energy and stamina begin to lose.
“I have told you before it was useless. Your strength and attack power are weaker. Your Moon Night mode is just increasing your speed only but not your strength or attack. It just takes me to use my booster magic only to defend against your attack. Not only that… Light arrow.” Aoi launched a light magic toward Calen's body. Because of tiredness Calen cannot evade that attack and taking them straightly.
Boom! The attack hit Calen's body and make her fly away.
Calen falls to the ground and tried to get up. However, her body feels hurt for some reason. She begins to kneel. “There no ways (Masaka)… with just a little magic like that, my body feels this hurt.” Calen talks to herself while still cannot accept it.
“Your defense and physical resistance also does not change.” Continue Aoi while slowly walking toward Calen's falling place.
“You have lost now… so you better do what I said.” Aoi points her sword at Calen's neck.
It looks like the battle is over. Calen has lost all his strength. There is no point to continue this battle anymore. If they keep fighting, Aoi is worried her opponent will hurt even more. Even she likes fighting, but fighting an opponent that cannot fight anymore is not her style.
“Lost?... Lost? I will never be lost.” Calen begins to scream. She had lost her mind control and starts to increase her magic power drastically. Suddenly, the blue aura that covers around her body becomes even more bigger. The blue aura changes into a big wing and surrounded Calen's body. It looks like it was the same ultimate move that she used to fight with Mei before.
Calen magic is so strong until make Aoi had to push back from her position.
From afar, two of Calen men, the one with a big body and the one with the hood, that looking at their battle begins to interfere. They start running with all of their heart into the battlefield, toward Calen's place.
“This is bad Garret, Calen's body still not fully recovered from the last battle with the human. If she keeps continues to use that attack, her body will not able to take it and will cause a serious injury to her.” Said the hood person while still running.
“That true, that attack used a lot of magic and Calen is still new in control of her power.” Add the big guy.
“I’m never lost.” Repeat Calen.
***
“I’m never lost.”
Calen memory
“Look father, I make a bracelet from a flower.” a young age Calen told to her father while jumping and bouncing with excitement.
“Not now Calen, I have a job to do now.” Reply her father.
“Ok, I got it.” Said young Calen with a sullen tone and get out of her father's room.
Sometimes later
“Father looks, I just finish my first quest?” Said the 10 years old Calen while holding the paper quest with a big smile at her father.
“Not now Calen, I have a meeting with the elder today.” Reply her father while walked away leaving Calen alone.
Later
“Listen, father, I have chosen by the elders as one of the guardians of this forest.” Said teenager Calen with excitement.
“Ohhh, ok. Good for you then.” With an unpretentious tone and leave her alone.
Teenager Calen looks down to the ground. Everything that she does is never is realized by her father. She just wanted her father to say that he is proud of her. That all. Suddenly, a tear drops from her eyes.
“I never lost. I will make my father proud of me.” While her body still releasing a huge amount of magic.
“Stop it Calen-sama. If you used that magic again, your body will be destroyed and you will be died.” Shout the hood person while still running toward Calen's place. However, it was useless. His voice cannot be listening by Calen at all.
“This is the end. Moon Night slas…”
Ka-Boom!
Out of blue, a sudden magic attack coming toward Calen. That attack hit Calen's body making her fall to the ground. Because of that attack, all the people are now losing their attention toward Calen and focus more on the place where that attack comes from. All of them looked at the place simultaneously.
From afar its looks like a large of an army is coming toward their place. Their number is even higher than Calen people and all of them are caring a perfect preparation to fight. In front of the army, it looks like a young dark elf is riding the horse coming toward their place.
“Who are you?” Ask Calen men that have a big body.
After the army comes even closer, they now can see perfectly the face of the guy that leading the army.
“Wait… You are.” Continue the big guy with a shocked expression after looking at the person's face.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
