《Wanderers of The Lost Garden [On Hiatus]》 Chapter 1 - Parting from the Garden (Prologue) Chapter 1: Traversing through the steeps of million stones which forms as a stairway, tattered clothes and battered steels opening an old iron gate light illuminates the tired face of a man. In awe and relief, he had never seen such beautiful well maintained what it appears to be a Garden, the only place where light exists surrounded by vegetation and vines stretched across on a deep pool each distance is surfaced with circular pillars supporting as platforms. Upon entering immediately, he draws his sword from the waist looking towards on the far left one of the platform, tall figure bore majestic white colored, uniform and robe gold trimmed symbolic motifs patterned across notably his headgear, coated with a decorative felt or some kind of high quality clothing material which stands out prior it''s slight tallness which at the end flap falls just between the neck and shoulders. Enough of inflicting intimidation to one''s heart or mind gradually it faded whom the man expresses his relief and sighed. Pulling his sword back into the scabbard he slowly approaches the tall figure leaping onto several platforms just to reach the person. "It''s just you my mentor anyw-a..." "hush......sshhh" "This child, non shall ruin its peaceful sleep". Before he could finish his sentence, it was broken off when the figure interrupted. Clearly this person was definitely male yet how he spoke was gentle and nearly contrasts of female tone. The man whom entered diverged his gaze towards where the direction from the figure looks. Drawing closer in calm composure he can''t help but to question the current situation however he caught small glimpse of a child. "Mentor! THIS IS!!!" raising his voice. "Don''t jump surprisingly!" "....." "Yes indeed this child is mine." The entranced man couldn''t comprehend nor answer back however soon he regained his senses back into reality. Enter deep into thoughts his eye widen reaching into a conclusion whom the figure knew the thoughts clouded in Leonite''s mind, he began cradling the child in his arm. "There is not much to explain but long story short. I have separated my Nur soul, into nothing but small fragments thus bore fruit with the help of a certain maiden whom she agreed .." Conversing while slowly in small steeps walked towards the wry man" "knowing I''m asking too much...but Leonite, look after this child." Leonite was an acquaintance or rather long cherished companion in arms. Visible muscles ripped proudly through his armor he himself can be considered well rounded built despite his age. "Hou?!" Leonite made a sly suspicions facial expression "We had this planned since the began when those foul demonic beings deprive one citizens mind in which caused a chaotic turmoil eventually everyone including the king was affected." "Foreseeing this, thus have committed something that was outside of our current domain nonetheless we don''t hate, which would mean denying this child''s existence..." Both set their gazes upon each other eventually handed the child to him. Before passing he stared one more time enlightened to see his child peacefully dormant patting his head. "Harsh trails await little one, although I am a little bit envious of you. To see such things that I never saw in my life, you must not stray from the path that you truly believe in" Making contacts with the child''s head Leonite''s mentor''s metallic mask coldly touches the child as if this was their last parental love. Reciting ancient words Leonite warmheartedly in awe the light encircling around them eventually began compressing into a ball of light, orbiting around momentarily soon came to an halt descending down towards the child, the Sphere of Nur merged with ones soul. A symbolic motif sign appeared etched into his left hand leaving a marked root through the arm. "Askari, That is his name although it wasn''t me who named him." "His mother gave him the name I was going to but was beaten to it, although strangely it was na-m....never mind" "Fufufu. You can''t deny a woman''s decision that is a death flag..." Leonite remarking with jokes humbly accepts his mentor''s proposal holding out both of his hands preparing to catch the child. Slowly and surely Askari placed the child to Leonhart, he also had given him with two majestic maintained blades, couple of manuscripts and books. "Quite an overprotective father you are...hahahhaha" Again Leonite pridefully laughs, his tone of voice and facial expression drops down immediately afterwards producing parting moods. "Well..I guess this is it." "I shall raise this child to the best of my ability that will last till death" "Farewell my mentor without your guidance I would''ve not survived this long" Manly tears began erupting from his eyes. Moderately lowering his head one last time paying, The figure''s hand reaches onto his shoulders Leonite looked up in calm voice. "You must go, before that let my two corps guide you to the gate safely." "Go now! There''s not much time". One last glimpse Leonite parted away from his mentor exiting through where he came from there lies two figures standing tall, wearing the same uniform but different motifs and metal face mask approaches him. "Greetings, Kapikulu Corps Second: Nazar " Similar builds to his mentor although smaller by couple centimeters armed to the teeth with long-barreled rifle, two firearms and multiple daggers, beside him towering man takes up the air compared to Leonhart, more physically apt by proof holds an overbearing gold engraving grand mace on one hand which remains idle on his shoulder. "Kenta , Kapikulu Corps Third" "Lets go, lessen on time being wasted" Without further due, they accompanied Leonite side by side descended down few batches of stairways, upon setting foothold on top of a tower supporting numerous stairs in which he had stumbled before. The center had circular markings in which extrudes by half a meter clearly this was a portal operated by them the corps, both extended their left arms where the Nur sign is located brief moment ray of light shines upon the sign, light wraps around them in a blink of an eye all within radius has been transported onto another location.

Arriving at the location in front stood firm two titan sized pillars already active prior ripping time space channeling through as it leads to the other side the "Continental Gate of the West". Indeed Leonite was mesmerized to think his distance to where he was now not even a single city nor mountain which houses the Garden in their view for the first time being teleported this was an impressive experience. Before doing anything he senses pure fear and killing intents behind him, reacting sensitively he draws his sword however petrified by it''s appearance, dominating aura and size not once in life he had encountered such Daemon. "kkuh.. a Higher Class Daemon." Gritting his teeth knowing pure terror for the first time in life. The Daemon grins gleefully at its prey 4 and a half meters tall hulking body stands on two reverse joint legs , accompanied by several Medium Class Daemon, they began encircling Leonite''s group cutting off possible movements. "~Thud. Thud. Thud~" Concrete floor erupting violently reacting from the approaching monstrous Daemons amongst them high Daemon charged reckless like bull baited by a red cape. Dripping in endless warm sweat Leonite firmly stood his ground protecting the child till his death however two corps remained steadfast or rather null void afflicted. Amongst the battle between the daemons, the high daemon decided to throw an almighty punch, killing anyone or thing, including his own teammates. As the monster''s knuckle catapults towards Leonite dark aura begins coating the fist velocity increasing every travel weighing it down onto the ground, in sudden whats left of the know crazed bull now headless, ripped apart in segments as his body follows crashing into the ground its head continuously rolls away from the former daemon. The one responsible for the headless bull was Kenta, using only the pommel of black and gold engraved mace. "For a scum like you whom intrudes into our homeland. You talk too much!" Insulting the headless non-animated beast. "Wa-wa-what?! How!? When!?" Leonite said shockingly, surprised by the appearance of his Saviour. "Stop with the bickering and run already!" Kenta replied as he gets ready for the next attack. Leonite affirming the words he received complied sprinting for his life towards the gate, whilst daemons who were already occupied with this human that somehow one-sided defeated their champion rampaging daemon, not noticing their real target slipping past through their gaze. The daemons themselves mustered up their courage deciding an all-out offensive attack in all sides against Kenta gave them with cold eyes, making daemons themselves concluded this choice was regrettable but too late to act as they were in mid-air flight which is the point of no return. "BAH! Try me YOU WEAKLINGS!"
Nur Fortification: Tortoise Shield
Absolute AoE Defense against Physical and Magic attacks.
Bright-illuminating signs began to appear in kenta''s left hand just like baby Askari, he crouched a little and then stood back up, both his hands in the air shouting, all of a sudden spheres made out of in between visibly-transparent shields appear around Kenta, leaving no gap for an attack to come in. Dozens of small to medium circular bulging shields appearing around him forming a protective circle-tortoise like shell, Kenta smirked as the daemons collide with the smoothing light like flies smothered visibly still clinging on immobilize. In perfect timing execution, Kenta couldn''t help but admire himself, following up with a gesture by spreading his arms wide apart, all the shields by his command in quick mobilization ruptured, hitting the daemons with great force belong from multiple shields because of the high intensity inflicted upon them their bodies disintegrate, leaving nothing but micro scale parts in the border between the East and the West. As Leonite heads towards the gate, he hesitates for a bit, looking at the baby boy breathing heavily leaves Mahvaesh the continental capital city of East. Prior entering through immediately feels a huge change in the atmosphere observing at the land structure. Setting eyes upon the baby, still heavily asleep he chuckles thinking how he managed to stay calm and not be disturbed shrugs off the topic and resume walking leading to a new life. Meanwhile in the entrance gates of continental East Kenta putting swings on his mace and lightly lands on the right shoulder, he walks towards his guard post and doing what he usually does, alongside the hidden hunter. Some middle-class Daemons still remain although shivered in disparity this battle is no contest. "Hey Nazar wherever you are untouched bastard, wanna take care of that thing over there?" Kenta calling out as he lazily yawns. One monster stared at Kenta jolting forward runs after him, swinging his nimble club screaming viciously with its petty voice. In a flash the head of an incoming foe bursts in pieces¡¯ grotesques bloodied segments follows as its body flops down into the ground disgustingly. "Oi oi, for someone who barely participates in battle I''m not cleaning the mess that you made" Kenta glances at the corpse Nazar pulls the cylindrical chamber handle empty shell flies out reverting his eyes away from the scope of his rifle, as he does current location was at 150 yards away from the target a half maximum range of his weapon killing it with ease. "Fine..." Nazar replying with a sighed with quick haste appears at the gate with his presence hidde, except Kenta who knows where he is. "You know what I''m thinking?" Kenta asking Nazar as he cleans up the mess, brushing away the pieces of the dead body "What?" Nazar says with an uninterested expression tone of voice. "We are going guard this gate until we die? what do you say? Sounds fun right? good good yes no?" Kenta jokingly manner, trying to escape from the boredom fight. Nazar painfully looks at him with an annoyed expression aura due to his face like Kenta protected by a metal face mask "Whatever you say..." he sighs and returns to his usual silence. "But wait thinking about it, we are definitely going to retrieve our Grand Master''s child once he''s fully matured right?!" adding a follow-up. "Indeed we shall! Ah Ha hahaha!!" Kenta Joyfully bellows from Nazar''s suggestion and so it begins establishing a new goal for them. Chapter 1Ex.1 - Dominion Chapter 1Extra.1 - Dominion WHAM, BAKI! Severed bodies flung across opposite of the force bore upon them, unchallenged unrivalled Kenta¡¯s grand mace bringing ruins everything in its path. Another fool takes up a deathly approach bigger than he faced so far, ¡®it¡¯ lounges forward aggressively as it prepares to take smashing flight. ¡°Humph¡± Kenta Instinctively flips backwards safely evades the daemon as it crashes upon the soil producing slight puncture forming a crater due to sheer strength and mass pressed into the ground. The Marid growls angrily as hot air escapes its nostrils, screamed pride fully lifts up his right leg and momentarily proceeds on stomping beneath below whom Kenta rests. ¡°Kuh, challenging me in raw strength eh!?¡± Kenta retorted as he braces for impact holds and pushes outwards with his two hands. Two figures collided pouring all the strength into their legs and arms fiercely competing for dominance. From their standing point floors become uneven cracks spreads wide throughout the area unable of handling intense force channelling down below from their feet¡¯s. The mighty Marid¡¯s eyes widen in shock little by little being pushed back at that moment victor surely has been decided. Kenta presses on ¡°AAHHHHH¡± as he yells out proudly exiting like a champion, throwing off his foe flung backwards crashing down onto the soil. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. Wavered from losing the Marid faintly tries on standing on two legs however recovery was cut short as Kenta threw his mace full force towards the face of his opponent. Marid¡¯s face collided with the weapon breaking every bones from the skull, waterfall of bloods and everything else came gushing out, a disfiguring site to behold. Walking over towards the corpse pulls out his mace, in ghastly disgusted tone as his favourite weapon dyed in red wine blood. ¡°Tch¡± Swiftly swings his grand mace around, everything attached onto the surface gradually forced out particular the blood as it splatters in several locations around him, a cheap way of cleaning. Finishing off rest the weapon onto his shoulder walking off, Kenta somehow feels anxious on something guts tells him danger approaches. Believing from this immediately he turns around in front of him a huge hurl of shining blue light races towards at its target. KABOOM! Ground violently shakes rapidly from every direction where everyone can feel. Fiery of blue flames lingers the area pixie dust of smoke obstructs the view. Tracing the roots of its origin up sky high visible under the empty sky two mysterious humanoid figures levitating mid-air darkness hides their appearances far away.
Like the title says this is just an extra chapter more adventures and misfits for Kenta and Nazar. Another note is that extra chapters are considerably shorter compared to the real deals Chapter 1Ex.2 - Dominion II Chapter 1Extra.2 - Dominion Intruders stood idly as they watched the area engulf in blue fiery flames, one sneered ¡°Ki-Ki-Ki¡± followed suit by another descending down below towards the ground. Entering in vicinity ambient lights within the flames illuminated shined upon their skins both where indeed petite build, size of a child in teenage stages two horned pretty faces, dressed in a formal fashioned as they belong to an organized group. ¡°Well that takes care of our problem ki-ki-ki¡± One abruptly giggled. ¡°Indeed, indeed, no more problems we can proceed¡± The other supportively committed. Giggling furthermore for their joyful triumph however not even a second of celebration both stopped. Feeling uncomfortable in their fleeting hearts as they continue entrancingly starred deeply into the abyssal of flames sensing lively pressure. ¡°Hey, we got him right?¡± ¡°Yeah, we surely did right?¡± Confused trying to shake of their doubts both reconfirmed one last time gazed briefly into the scene. Eyes widened in a midst within the flames a shadowy figure appears from the ashes of the smoke elegantly exits, forcefully plunges his mace into the concrete floor resting both hands atop straightened his posture. ¡°Ah ha ha, nice try!¡± Retaining his usual personality wherever he goes no matter the times, places, events, Kenta is just Kenta. ¡°A new challenger enters the fray!¡± KKUH! Both gave a distasteful facial expression as they prep for battle. ¡°For an intruder like you to actually sneak past me and by your appearance¡± ¡°I presume you seem to be in charge around here? Does this mean I have encountered a whole new foe?¡± Lifts up the Mace below ground laying down onto his shoulder ¡°Impressive! Finally someone who could at least roast me to the core compared to those buffoons¡± ¡°Hey, Hey for a loud talker like you, you sure have guts¡± Pointing directly at Kenta and proceeds into crouching stance strayed cat gimmick. ¡°Here we come!¡± ¡°Yeah here we go!¡± The other followed. ZOOM! Disappeared in a blink of an eye both traversed like a wind encircling Kenta producing weak after images. If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.Nodding each fired multiple projectiles of ghastly blue flames again in synchronizing. ¡°Ouph!¡± Kenta grunted in response, taking both attacks simultaneously from left-right and from the front and rear, enduring each after each projectile inflicted damage upon per second, however his clothing and armor provided effectiveness against magic sufficient enough for him to counter-react. ¡°Have to say thanks for Grand Master, without Nur Infusion I therefore would be in trouble big time¡± Spoken from his mind he thought thankful for his unaware preparedness against foreign dangers. At maximum peak in strength he smashes his Grand Mace right through the weakened concrete colliding strongly uneven pitted jagged structures rose high on one another, ground shakes irritated from the responses of Kenta¡¯s actions. Shock waves spread wide out at great range. ¡°Wwooaahh!" ¡°Eeeekkk!¡± The shock wave emitting below had caught up to them disrupting their wind-like speed losing their balance, they flew oppositely past each other grinding along the ground like a mop trashing through several boulders. In slight unpleased reactions as they regained their composure eyes sharply fixated onto him with a vow of revenge. ¡°Is this the extent of your power?¡± ¡°You two are a bunch of clowns or should I say kids playing with fire!¡± Remarking his opponents Kenta¡¯s patient starts to erode wryly recalling his with fight against several hundreds or thousands of Daemons none put up an adequate fight failing of appeasing him not even a little. ¡°Although got to give them credits for trying though¡± Without wasting time as it passes by a second ¡®My turn¡¯ he thought inside. ¡°I¡¯ll give you piece of a present for surprising me earlier¡± His left hand enlightens brightly traveling through and around as root like vein lifting his palm upward openly looks as if he was preparing to catch something. Both twins enthralled into this unknown phenomenon yet in blood sweating paranoia eagerly to move yet couldn''t on strange occasions.
