Aether Beasts

Long ago a great calamity struck the earth, destroying much of it and merging what remained with pieces of other worlds. With these worlds came Aether, a new form of energy that can allow one to transcend the bounds of normal mortality and human limitations. In a world where humans absorb the essence of aether beasts to gain power, Aiden Hawke joins the class of humans known as arcanists, people who defeat aether beasts and absorb their essence into cores they forge within themselves, and who infuse themselves with the aether that permeates the world around them to increase the power of their body and mind. However, unlike most, Aiden will find that he holds a unique gift and that his journey as an arcanist will not be so simple.

Chapter 169

We burst into the warehouse, and the scene that greeted us somehow made me even angrier than before. Disgust and anger wared within me as my eyes immediately locked onto the large cages full of women, most looking to be in a lethargic state while others looked delirious. From the young to the old, and what looked to be from all facets of life. I saw a woman in dirty farmer garb while another wore a dress that once must have looked quite beautiful. The worst I saw were the ones who had been bloodied and beaten, bruises marking parts of their bodies, and in a separate cage, there lay a few women whose clothes looked ripped.

Shouts and calls of alarm sounded as the guards and workers turned their gazes to us. I was before the first in a matter of seconds, and with a quick swipe of a thorn scythe, I disemboweled him, leaving him to die a slow death as he attempted to push his guts back into his body.
