《The Man Ruined by The Gods》Chapter 8: Newfound power and the 2 beast
Advertisement
The ironback demon boar charged through the wall of flames, seeing this the group of elves went pale.
“Big sis Eli… a-are we gonna die?”
A dark elf with two weapons of mass destruction asked nervously as she clinged onto the dark elf next to her.
“Ha, I guess we really are cursed aren’t we?”
The dark elf who got clinged to, Eliana Valleth said as she sighed.
These group of ten dark elves are all her sisters, they may not be blood related but their bond is more than just blood. These dark elves all have one similar trait.
“We, the impure children are really cursed aren’t we...”
“We’re not impure! We’re just because we aren’t pure bloods doesn’t mean we’re impure!”
The ten elves were at the point of no return, if they were not half bloods they would not have been thrown out, they wouldn't need to worry about what to eat the next day, they wouldn’t need to live in constant fear of monsters.
“If only… i-if… hic”
The dark elve clinging onto Eliana started crying, hearing her crying the other elves all looked towards her.
They all went silent, what was the real reason they reached this point? Is it their mothers who mated or were raped by other races? Was it the other races who are to blame? Was it their seniors or the head of the village?
“This world itself is the problem… no the world simply exist to support life, the reason we all reached this is not the fault of our parents or the village head”
Eliana looked at all of her comrades, all of them had various differences eye’s, claws, some even have small wings or a tail. But they all had the same dark skin and pointed ears, they all have the blood of dark elves but because of fate their were born halflings, half-breeds who belong nowhere.
She looked them all in the eye, her resolute and unwavering spirit flooded out and infected them all, even the crying elf wiped of her tears when she felt Eliana’s aura.
“This is all the fault of the gods! The gods followed by our parents by all the people in the whole world! They may have different beliefs and such but there is one thing they all have in common”
Eliana then looked towards the sky and exclaimed.
“They all hate half breeds! They despise us for being born! The reason we’re seen as impure, the reason we we’re entitled dirty since our birth is all because of the beliefs ingrained to our ancestors minds! A belief that came from the gods!”

“Good Words!”
While the group of ten dark elves were raising their weapons once more after finding a new reason to fight, a new calling, their real enemy was, God! They want to abolish the stupid ideals of gods!
But if they can’t even defeat this Ironback bear and survive through this how could they wish to give themselves a new hope? No even their children or grandchildren?
(To think that being at the verge of death would stimulate their inherent talents to bloom)
Xenados was riding on his void beast, Pluto when he heard the exclamation of one of the ten dark elves.
He noticed that they suddenly gained some sort of power, more precisely they leveled up. In the eyes normal people what would happen is the awakening and their powerup due to their natural instincts to survive.
But Xenados had another vision, just as they heard the words of the dark elf about their enemy being god the mana inside the ten women made a drastic change.
“Don’t worry everythings gonna be alright”
Xenados appeared before the ten elves riding with his mother on pluto. The elves were shocked and didn’t know what to do.
“Watch out!”
Just as they came back to reality they realized that the pale fragile looking kid in front of them was in front of the charging ironback bear.
“Kyaa!”
Just as the bear was about to drop its huge claws on Xenados’ body, a cry resounded but the sound of tearing flesh was not heard. The elves opened their closed eyes only to have their mouths open wide in amazement.
The paws of the bear that was supposed to be smashing down onto the boy's body was stopped midair. The huge claws were restrained by black tentacles that extended from somewhere.
When they followed the tentacles to it’s source they found that it sprung out from the shadow of a tiger like beast.
The bear wanted to move its other paw but the next moment his whole body was restrained. The pale boy then turned towards the bear and as if seeing a ghost the bear looked down and became obedient.
The elves were perplexed but then the boy turned towards them, his red and black eyes stared at them intently.
The elves noticed the eyes that were filled with darkness and evil but those very eyes looked at them without hostility but kindness.
“You”
Xenados pointed towards Eliana, she looked right and left and behind her then pointed towards herself. The boy nodded and Eliana with a perplexed expression asked, “Me?”

“Yes… name”
Xenados could talk properly with Antonia since he had memories of being close with her and he felt the warmth of a mother's love from her. In contrast, Eliana is a new face it may be weird for him with his experience from many lives but…
(Though it’s greeting it’s not like the past where I say hi and the other person's head flies to the sky)
Although he had prior experience with many types of people he can’t say that he has the greatest social skills or he’s at the top of the ladder when it comes to socializing.
In fact his experience could be considered as zero, his first life he still had some conversations but excluding that where the only other girl he talked with is his mother and sister, the other lives he had were all filled with… death.
In his past lives where he was sent to world just to kill a certain individual he had no time to waste on gaining friends, he won’t even spend a year in each world as he only had to get enough power to kill one person then die.
His conversations after he was kidnapped by Vincentius and before he was reborn as Xenados mostly went…
“Hi I’m ------”(Target)
“...”(Xenados)
“What is there something on my fa-”
And the next moment a head flies sometimes it would even go…
[bump]
“Hey!”(Target)
“Rupture”(Xenados)
Then a fountain of blood erupts from a body and another man turns to dust.
His conversations always went like that, his targets won’t even have the time to ask his name or have a proper conversation with him.
“Uhmm… are you asking me my name?”
Eliana guessed what Xenados meant, in fact she clearly knew that this kid was just not familiar with talking with others. After she knew another person who is like this kid.
“Uuuu… why are you looking at me like that big sis Eli!”
Yes, the big breasted half ogre dark elf, Kaylin Kelvaris. Her mother was raped by an ogre and was saved, unfortunately she was impregnated and thus gave birth to Kaylin. Among all the halflings she experienced more suffering than any of the other girls with her.
A seed planted with no love, no matter how great the tree becomes it will still be hated by the one who planted it.
In this case the one who hates her is her mother, the land where she was planted in, unlike the other girls who were born of illegal relationships between parents she was left with nothing.
Having been born from rape even her mother hated her to the bone, making her have no safe haven. At these times she would stay with Eliana and thus she began treating her as a sister.
Kaylin grew up being shunned by everyone thus she had a natural fear of strangers, even the girls she was thrown out with. At first she didn’t talk to them that much but the longer they were with each other the closer they became.
Eliana looked at her reflexively as she thought about her similarities with the little boy in front them.
She shrugged it off then looked at the boy in front of them, the one who stopped the powerful ironback bears advance. She looked at the black tiger like beast and guessed that if the boy on front of them would be one of those legendary beastmasters.
“I’m Eliana Val-, just Eliana”
Xenados didn’t fail to notice that she was about to say her last name when she stopped, he then thought about the possibility and asked.
“Were you exiled?”
The reaction of Eliana showed that his guess was spot on, but then he was baffled.
(Why would they exile powerful warriors like them? If anything they should disregard even the laws to keep the warriors from leaving but-)
Just as he was thinking he noticed that the dark elves seem to have some minor differences, he looked closer and noticed something.
“Are you perhaps… half-breeds?”
Eliana shook violently with his words, she was preparing to be left and get crushed by the bear or be killed of by the boy but a minute passed and nothing happened.
“You could open your eyes now, I won’t kill you for being a half-breed”
“Impo-”
Eliana opened her eyes and was about to say something but she stopped when she saw Xenados closer, he had pale skin, long pointed ears, razor sharp canines and eyes that had different colors.
“Are you-”
“Yes just like you I am a half-breed”
She was shocked then she looked at Antonia.
“She’s my mother, she may be a pure blood but she won’t discriminate between being half-breeds… you can now relax”
Along with all the other nine elves the dark elves who looked to be battle ready powerlessly dropped to the ground, some weeping tears of joy some rejoicing at being able to survive.

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.
