(hello, I am not like the guy speaking till now. he is kind of new to this world, on top of that guy has and will spend a long time in the wild.
he is what I like to call an illiterate. anyways, leaving all past arguments be I will tell you my side of the story. he didn't even bother to tell you what this entire thing is actually I really can't blame him this time, even he had no clear idea what he was doing . we call this mental logs, a spell that we use to record our thoughts. though it has been modified by us to serve our purposes. it is something most of us can do instinctively. )
I don't know where I am but I am somewhere very disgusting. it was a torture room and was filled with Torture devices that would make me get creeped up and that is saying something.
my ability makes it very easy for me to get tortured you see.
thunk thunk. the sound of metal hitting metal could be heard. it looks my favorite torturer is here.
the door to my cell opened showing a tall figure. from far away his head would look like a disfigured blob. once he came closer you could see it was a bull's head. he had no skin as white fur covered his body. he held a large axe in his hand which could only mean one thing . his armour was very worn, clearly it was second hand. but if I were to judge that armour based on its looks, I would be having a very nasty surprise.
me - has the time finally come.
Minotaur - you are resistant to everything I have done to you. I must say, you are more resistant than the usual members of this room. most of them break quickly .even the ones who are as famous as you. my mom has been very displeased with you. she is confident that she can't break you. so she has planned to get rid of you. she seems to be very scared of you being here.
me - what can I say, my reputation precedes m...
the first thing I saw was the flash of steel. then came a cold sensation on my throat. then came the pain.
the axe had cut off my head, you see. this seemed to be the favourite method of execution for all torturers. but you should show some respect and not cut off a man's head before he was done speaking.
before you get confused, I will talk about myself. my name is immortal and my ability is immortality.
to be more accurate about my ability, you could cut me with a knife or even cut my head off, I won't die. you could cut me to small pieces and still I would reassemble myself given that my body parts are close enough.
the Minotaur obviously knew this, he picked up my body and kept it on the other side of the room. so he clearly knew what my powers were. but then I am kind of a legend among the demihumans. so it's natural they will know of my powers.
Minotaur - now isn't it better, it must be so relaxing.
me - to be honest, the pain stops after a time but the feeling of being cut really gives this weird sensation. I can feel my body though I can't move it. but I have a doubt kid, do you really think that you can kill just by doing this. my fame is legendary among your kind especially, it seems. so you must know, just how unkillable I am.
Minotaur - it still doesn't hurt to try . does it.
the Minotaur was about to say more, but a gigantic explosion had shut his mouth up.
me - looks like your Castle is about to fall.
Minotaur - they are up against an army, not even you could face an army on your own.
me - you would be surprised kid.
the Minotaur left quickly. luckily I could sense his location. this was another advantage of my ability. I knew the location of every single drop of blood, every single ounce of flesh and every single fragment of bone, that came from me. you don't know how handy that ability is.
naturally I could feel the blood dripping from that guy ax. but first I would have to reassemble myself first. that minotaur really is an idiot, it left me and my body in one place.
it looks I will have an easy time today. I can remote control my limbs, if I focus just a little bit.
( after a while )
I reassembled myself already and chasing after the Minotaur. the minotaurs, as a species seemed to love complex mazes too much. I would have been lost a couple of times if I didn't have the blood trail to follow.
as I reach my target, I will tell you about who I am and what exactly I am doing here. you all must have heard of the black wind empire and the phantom world empire. I am a part of the black wind empire.
I am one of the warrior scribes of the black wind empire. our job, to hunt and kill the more problematic demon beasts that existed in the border.
as for how I ended up here that's a long story I will tell later.
anyways let me give you a quick intro of my allies. I had two to be precise. one of them was phantom, an assassin and a just like any lady in her teenage, a pain in the back.
especially when she gets started with those romance novels of her. I know that she loves them but does she need to explain each one with such detail and then expect me to feel for those characters.
the other one was rock. he was kind of like a pacifist as he never really liked fighting. he was a farmer but circumstances forced him
to work with me. there is an entire gory history behind him, which is something he never talks about.
I was not complaining, though .that guy had some serious battle potential. he was a small giant and he could take in most life-threatening attacks as if it was nothing . and when he used his ability, he was impenetrable . and if he got angry. let's just say even I would stay away from him.
those were my associates, my most trusted allies.
anyways I was coming close to the battlefront. I could see damaged walls, mutilated demihumans ( I will explain at the end, why ruin the flow and my explanation are not half-assed explanation like that assholes ), which were most likely this minotaurs personal army.
anyways I kept following the trail and I finally got to a big hole. I don't know how else I will explain. rock was fighting the Minotaur, as rock had a deep cut over his shoulder. except that, he was fighting pretty nicely and holding out against Minotaur. I don't mean to boast about rock, but he has fought against demon beasts much larger than the Minotaur and held them at Bay without using his abilities. that's just how strong his body was.
phantom was taking on an army. she weaved among the demihumans killing them left to right, a lot of the weapons struck her as she moved through them. her ability was phantom void, as we called it. she could pass through most stuff, blades passed through as if nothing was there and she could move through walls and stuff like that. she needed help though . that ability takes a lot of effort to maintain and is actually physically draining to her . she can't even overuse her ability because over usage of her ability meant that she can't use her ability for a very long time. the last time she overused it, she couldn't use her ability for two years.
so naturally I had to come to her rescue. anyways I spent enough time getting a view of the battlefield.
me - phantom, my dagger
phantom was quick to react as she threw my dagger to me. it seemed to be like a normal dagger, but in my hands it could do wonders.
you see what was in my hand is one of the legendary totems. it was magic from one of the forbidden books.
the totem is a soul-devouring magic and each totem could have a different ability depending on how it was created.
my daggers ability was the devourer. it could copy the ability of any soul it devoured.
anyways while I had many souls in the dagger my favorite ability was 'four-element control'. it allowed me to control air, water, earth, fire.
once I got the dagger back, I could feel the elements around me. in a way it was a very addicting feeling. grasping the earth element I will it to move as I wanted to. four cracks appeared on the ground, moving like a snake on the ground. it quickly extended towards the demihumans who could do nothing but fall. those that jumped to escape the crack found their heads separated from their body.
man my head was gonna ache. using the dagger had its defects also you know.
just like that, the demihumans were gone. phantom would be going to help rock.
as for me I had to save my energy after if my plan is to work my participation would be necessary. anyways those two don't need my help yet. as long as they gave me the last kill I can deal with it.
the Minotaur had a very unique ability. they had one of the rarest abilities among the demihumans. they had a domain ability . their ability was 'dungeon lord'. they could choose a building of their choice and choose it as their dungeon .once they did so they could freely manipulate it, controlling every aspect of the dungeon. how to it say it, yes they were like gods to everything that was a part of the dungeon. the only reason that we can beat this kid is because, well he pushes himself too much .he could barely keep this massive dungeon from falling apart. this was really an unsuitable place for a dungeon. the only time that a Minotaur would set it up in such a place Is when they go to war.
( after a while)
phantom and rock made for a very formidable team . the minotaur was almost dead, with two of its limbs. one leg and one arm were gone. and as for the rest of the body, let me say it was not a very pretty sight. phantom and rock are a very scary combo.
my job was not really hard. all I had to do was walk up to the near-dead Minotaur and kill it. my headache would start after that. you see we were on phantom world territory. we had escaped from here also, I had an idea to escape, but both me and rock would completely drained.
( now is the time to talk of the demihumans .my less knowledgeable friend has told you of the two empires.
one of them was a black wind empire and the other was the phantom world empire.
the black wind empire had humans and the phantom world empire had demihumans.
to talk about demihumans. one has to talk about the humans path.
humans were born with an ability, but nobody could tell what this ability would be until the kid grew up. as he grew up he would begin to get an instinctive grasp over his ability.
you could see how this created problems for the really powerful. the kids of really powerful people could end up with an unsuitable ability . for example a powerful general would find his kid having an ability that could make him a very good merchant.
naturally a powerful person would not like to see the position he earned with such hard work be lost to anyone else but his kid. therefore approximately at the time of the establishment of the black wind empire, a few of the elites began to experiments in the methods to pass on powers to their kids . while they did succeed, it came in the form of demihumans. they were humans that had somehow absorbed the blood of a demon beast in their body. therefore they could be considered to be human-shaped demon beasts . and just like them, the ability was passed on from parents to kids.
therefore they achieved their goal by becoming demihumans, but humans could not bring themselves to accept demihumans as humans.
after being hunted down in a civil war that nearly destroyed the black wind empire, because at least ninety percent of the black wind government had participated in this.
the remaining few hid themselves in the forests and gathered followers who wanted the power of the demon beasts.
slowly as time passes these few people became cities, then nations and then finally an empire of demihumans.
so that's what demihumans. they are demon beasts that have absorbed the blood of the demon beasts to become demihumans )
