When that terrifying voice fell, the pain struck even faster than his evolved brain could register. It was entirely on the survival instincts of an evolved high-level Aberrant Beast Commander that Flashfire jerked away; not just retreating, but practically flipping upward to dodge a strike that could have cleaved his body in two. Under that… Continue reading Cub 125: Holy Cas — Arrival

A beautiful face, a careless tone, a single hand grasping a longbow that seemed to burn with flame. Those idle, indifferent words, yet spoken from on high. And in the darkness—honey-colored pupils lit up. Just moments ago, they were still laughing and joking about what a god-awful mess the mech operation was. Yet none of… Continue reading Cub 124: Amos, You Came Too Late

All those with knowledge of relevant information in Holy Cas were equally tense. Especially the accompanying troops. With even the Crown Clan on high alert, it was difficult for them not to be nervous. Meanwhile, the Gesen Empire’s patrol mecha squad received orders and immediately leveled their cannons at the Holy Cas starship. In their… Continue reading Cub 123: Holding Your Head Too High—I Don’t Like It

The Holy Sanctuary was always ranked dead last in the entire sector, so they also got the worst position. There was barely anyone watching their livestream—hardly any streaming devices following them. All people expected was for the Sanctuary to end up being the last group driven into the Aberrant Beast Hunting Zone. Anyone who did… Continue reading Cub 122: Strange Starship Intrusion

In a public region of space, a Gesen Empire mecha squad spoke their words with righteous arrogance, even mockery. Holy Cas? Who knew what Holy Cas even was? Saying that here meant nothing at all. Why were you drifters from the Holy Sanctuary still struggling here? Just tuck your tails and slink off; maybe you… Continue reading Cub 121: Who’s Joking With You?

Feeney was much taller than the cub. In Holy Cas, he was rarely assigned the delicate task of cheering up the youngster. Most of the time, Feeney was leading little Chu Zao into mischief, bouncing and scrambling everywhere. Looking at the now deeply pensive, cool and detached little Chu Zao— Usually, the little guy loved… Continue reading Cub 120: If All Goes Well, Something’s About to Go Wrong

Your task has been completed—welcome back to Holy Cas. No one could feel the weight of those words more deeply than they did at that moment. But perhaps because the wait had been too long, even Lai Qing was somewhat numb, the intense shock making them all slow to react for a while. Countless mechas… Continue reading Cub 119: Zao Zao Felt Uneasy

The mechs’ guns opened fire in a sudden barrage. They drew the swarming insectoid aberrant beasts out of the corruption tide. All of Holy Sanctuary blared its alarms; the clan—small enough to fit inside a few large starships—mobilized quickly as procedures dictated. Many mechs began flying out from the starship’s docking bays to intercept the… Continue reading Cub 118: Lift Your Head, Welcome Home

Little Chu Zao set down what he was holding. There hadn’t been any such bizarre gathering of aberrant beasts along the way, so something must have happened over there. “This way.” Chu Zao stood up, directing Yu Ye and the others. As they drew closer—within the mechs’ observation range—they gradually saw those lizard-type aberrant beasts… Continue reading Cub 117: Are They Holy Cas People?

After being shaken into a brief daze, they gradually regained their composure. That’s what they said, anyway. But this sort of thing was indeed still far too dangerous. Basically, everyone’s thought was not to get involved in something like this—except for them. And it looked like they were very different from everyone else, too. Yu… Continue reading Cub 116: Why Don’t They Call Themselves Holy Cas?
