Cheat Awakening

Howl!

A guttural wolf howl, resonating with the earth's fury, tore through the sky above the island. It painted the entire island with an eerie purple light, emanating from a miniature sun-like core at its centre. Yet, this spectacle paled in comparison to the bizarre phenomena unfolding across the island.

Except for the tower, everything, living demons and inanimate objects alike, began to float effortlessly in the air, as if someone had suddenly switched off the gravity of the entire island.

But the true horror unfolded moments later which literally gave a heart attack to the poor demon who had been cursing the devil for 7 generations with foul words, blaming him for their bad luck for the consecutive unfortunate events. The purple sky erupted with a deafening boom of thunder, morphing into an ominous black cloud, seemingly conjured from thin air.

No one cared where these clouds came from because, in the next moment, from its depths, purple lightning, more ferocious and potent than Myne's, rained down upon the island, mercilessly transforming helpless demons into charred husks.

BOOM!

The artificial thunderstorm's main goal was clearly not these random demons on the ground but the gigantic magical tower in the middle of the island. Thunderbolt after thunderbolt assaulted the tower, but thanks to its defensive barrier, hastily activated by Alban in the nick of time, it stubbornly held its ground against the brutal dance of electricity.

While everyone was watching the live thunder show and mesmerized by the special effects of the sky's rage, suddenly, an invisible yet palpable ripple, akin to a stone cast into the water, swept across the island. Then, right next moment, like a meteorite, a blue light, blazing with unimaginable speed, plummeted from the storm cloud towards the tower's base.

The light was so fast that normal demons couldn't follow with their eyes. However, they were preoccupied with trying to adapt to moving in zero gravity and saving their lives from the crazy thunder strikes, having no mood or time to watch it in the first place.

The blue light continued its unyielding descent, culminating in a monumental crash against the tower, mere meters above the ground. The impact sent tremors through the entire structure of the tower, shaking it like a tree buffeted by a ferocious storm. Even the barrier faltered under the strain, causing Alban, on top of the tower, who was maintaining the barrier single-handedly, cough blood.

After all, the main power source of the tower, the black disk, was destroyed by Myne. So, he could only grit his teeth and let the barrier activate with his own mana which is the same as casting the barrier by himself.

"Damn you bastards!" Alban roared, his voice laced with fury and defiance, stop destroying my home!"

BOOM!

While Alban's foul words spread across the island under the blessing of magic, the blue light crashed into the towering barrier like a meteorite and landed on the ground with an unconscious, injured Myne in her hand. He looked like a piece of burned wooden log because he was also one of the unlucky guys, who was struck by lightning alongside countless others. Explore new worlds at empire

After all, who had told him to hold a sword in his hand in the middle of such a chaotic thunderstorm? Doesn't he know that metal and thunder are old lovers and couldn't live without coming into physical contact?

"F*CK! Damn fools!! I knew it. Those beasts are unreliable. Look what that b*tch has done to you," Maya, who now looked like a real goddess slashed through the air with a frustrated sigh.

She was wearing a long flowing light-sky-blue single-piece gown with a split in the lower parts for easy movement, while voluminous sleeves billowed in the air, a big upper part around her giant breast left naked, showing a big chasm only covering her nipple and breast area. She had a delicate butterfly collar nestled around her neck, her blue long hair danced like ribbons on the wind.

She wore a beautiful crown like a kokoshnik adorned her head, made of gold and set with diamonds, emeralds, and rubies. The crown also featured a fringe of pearls and a veil of white lace. blue aura, reminiscent of flowing water, shimmered around her, amplifying her ethereal beauty, and making her look like a water goddess.

"Don't worry, Myne. Your big sis is here. Now, no one can hurt you." Maya with a flick of her wrist, materialized a finger-sized vial out of thin air and quickly opened its cap revealing a single drop of shimmering liquid before pouring it into Myne's mouth.

Just as the mysterious droplet touched his lips, Myne, the charred log, erupted in a sudden blaze of emerald light, and a great amount of vitality, potent and raw, pulsed from his body. Even the demons who were hundreds of meters away from them couldn't help but look towards their direction with shock.

"Although his life was out of danger because this idiot recklessly had drained his mana reserves at once, he plunged into a deep coma and probably wouldn't wake up for a while. Phew, so tried," Maya breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Myne out of danger and finally in her safe hands. Now, no one can harm him.

"It's time to take some revenge. That bastard dared to capture my little brother..." Maya's eyes filled with hatred as she spoke, gritting her teeth. The past few months had been a whirlwind of worry for her, only she knew just how much trouble she had gone through.

She had been searching for Myne's whereabouts everywhere, not only wandering every corner of the continent but also using god knows how many black and forbidden magic to find him. These things cost Jin his entire savings, and he had been complaining nonstop.

Velvet... I have to save her...

Just as Maya was about to put unconscious Myne's body away, suddenly he started mumbling with a painful expression.

A frown touched Maya's brow. "Just how much of a big family does this idiot want to make? Are the four of us not enough for him that he still wants to add more?" She shook her head helplessly and waved her hand over Myne's body, storing him into her space ring. This is a special ring that can store living beings, but the space inside is very limited, so she rarely uses it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After dealing with Myne, the primary target of the mission, Maya stood up from the ground and summoned her weapon – a magnificent trident. Crafted from a swirling, iridescent metal, it vibrated with a subtle energy. Three prongs, tipped with luminescent gemstones, crowned the shaft, while gleaming silver bands adorned its base, each set with smaller gems.

Its beauty held a touch of menace, mirroring the storm brewing within Maya's heart.

Maya gracefully swung her trident, soaring high into the sky, and soon arrived at the top floor of the tower. Her beautiful blue eyes scanned the tower's observatory. Ignoring the scowling figure of Alban Alban, whose face resembled someone who had been force-fed shit. Instead, her attention landed on Velvet's motionless body, whose fate remained uncertain.

"She must be the girl Myne mused about," Maya thought with a frown, observing Velvet's condition. "Judging by her state, it doesn't seem like she can survive." Although it appeared as if she had easily healed Myne, Maya knew that wasn't the case. The substance Myne had consumed was a tear from a mythical being encountered during Maya's journey.

It possessed an immense amount of vitality, capable of reviving even a Tier-5 being from near death, let alone a mortal like Myne. Using it on Myne was akin to dousing a campfire with a cascading river, total waste of resources, but Maya didn't want to take any chances with Myne's life and death. But for a stranger, she wouldn't be so extravagant.

"First, let's break this barrier before thinking about other things," Maya decided. Raising her trident, Maya prepared to unleash a powerful AoE spell to shatter the barrier when a blinding golden light engulfed the sky.

A colossal humanoid figure, easily 200 meters tall, clad in luminous golden armour that concealed everything except its single, blazing golden eye. it wielded a gargantuan hammer mirroring its own size. The hammer's heavy metallic head pulsed with an ethereal glow, etched with intricate swirling patterns.

The unknown metal handle gleamed with otherworldly luminescence, adorned with ancient symbols near the base where a leather cord was wrapped. Two gleaming silver bands encircling the handle near the top each held a single, brilliant gemstone.

Upon seeing the colossal figure taking action, Maya's lips pursed in a pout, expressing her displeasure on her beautiful face as she lowered her trident, clearly displeased with someone else stealing her limelight, but there was nothing she could do about it. If she had to destroy the barrier, it might take her some time.

In order to return quickly, she could only let the biggest person in their group handle such a heavy task.

Although Maya didn't care about the mountain-like figure taking action, Alban, who was maintaining the barrier with great difficulty under the unrelenting assault of purple lightning, had a face as pale as paper, with wide-open eyes in shock. If that thing really hit his barrier, he knew his tower was definitely done for. There was no way he could maintain the barrier under such a monumental force.
