Somewhere not far away from where the fight with the Octopus-like creature was going on, a group of people were hiding and whispering in a low voice; secretly watching, from behind the cover of a bush.
"My prince, it seems that these people are struggling, to even successfully land a blow. At this rate, it won't take long for the entire team to be killed off by that beast."
"Yes indeed, this team is large, yet it has suffered so much loss from a mere spineless grey octopus.
So sad.
This is just a low-level beast, it is not even as strong or as dangerous as that ultimate panther we fought before.
Although it is gigantic it could still be dealt with easily."
prince Idubor had disdained written on his face.
He was disgusted, by the performance of the group of warriors, fighting against that octopus-like creature.
"Yes my prince, if you look carefully you'd
Meanwhile, the group of more than thirty warriors were still battling, with the octopus-like creature.The team which was made up of a large number of independent young warriors, had already suffered more than twenty losses, in the single combat, with the octopus-like creature. Nonetheless, they were still fighting.Although it could be seen from their pale face and slow body movements, that the team of young warriors, were already suffering from fatigue and exhaustion.The octopus-like creature, however, didn't look stressed at all. It had only suffered, several minor bruises."Every body fall back! We can't win against this creature, it is too powerful and dangerous!" One young boy shouted aloud, to his other team mates.With the demise of their leader Jada, and the missing, of the strongest, young warrior Igbins, leadership was automatically transferred to him since he was the fourth
However, to his dismay, the people from the prince's team and the prince himself didn't even spare him a glance.Rather, the prince's team warriors, led under Sally's just now, strode on, to the place where the octopus-like creature was shrieking and struggling, to break free from the siege of those transparent beings.When the warriors got close to where the beast was trapped, one young warrior, with a bell hanging on his waist, stretched out his left hand towards one of those foggy, transparent human-like figures.Then suddenly, the transparent figure flashed back like a beam of light, to meet the young warrior and combined with the young warrior's body— entering through the tip of his outstretched finger.The young warrior's body shuddered slightly and was then illuminated with a faint glow that slowly faded away."Uh! How is this possible?" The newly acclaimed leader, questioned
The newly acclaimed leader was kept in a daze, he observed with rigorous keenness and almost passively, as those warriors from the prince, Idubor's team slaughtered effortlessly, that Octopus-like creature he and his people had been struggling to put down, for so long.He didn't even bother to blink nor did he dare to take make the slightest move.After witnessing the walk-over slaughter of the octopus-like creature, his mouth suddenly dropped open, into an unconscious, O shape."Hmm...What are you stupefied about?Is it because they easily killed that Spineless Grey Octopus you said they couldn't kill before?Hmm hmm.Well, to be honest with you, I'm certain that, they were just fooling around, with that beast.I believe that they were just using that beast to hone their skills. To gain more control and mastery of the ancestral spirit's powe
"Shut up! who told you I ran away!? If I ran away before, would I still be here now?" The young warrior, with a shaved head and Lanky body, Igbins, rebuked the other young warrior who had been collectively accepted earlier by the team members, as their new leader."Really! Igbins, why are you lying!? Ok!Good!If it's true that you didn't try to flee before, what have you been doing in that bush, all this while? ehn!?Are you going to lie again? Tell us what you were doing over there now.Come on! Go on!We're waiting for your explanation." The acclaimed new leader went completely ballistic, once that Igbins, the young warrior with a shaved head denied trying to escape.His concern was bordered on so many reasons.Firstly, with the reappearance of the yo
"Ha-ha, You want me to apologize to you?Rea---lly. SGRUUNG!!!Ptoey!" Ogen replied, Mockingly. Drawing mucus from his nose and spitting out the thick sputum to the ground.His head was raised and tilted sideways, looking at Igbins from the corner of his eye, as a show of contempt.He then turned around, intending to walk away."What! How dare you!?." Outraged, Igbins's thin body quaked as he yelled out.He instantly activated his ancestral spirit force and took a step forward; intending to slap hard at Ogen.'You arrogant prick! Now that you've finally upset me, I'm certainly going to teach you a lesson you won't forget anytime soon.' Igbins thought to himself. He seemed angry, however, there was yet a satisfactory grimace on his face.Perhaps, he had made up his mind that this was the perfect moment to take his revenge on Ogen.&n
All eyes trained off, to the direction of the clap, and rested on the figure of a young boy, no older than eleven years old."Awesome!Haha, what a hard man!You know what? You truly deserve to be a leader of your team. If only you did not die today."It was the prince Idubor.He praised and applauded, at the dead body of the young warrior, Ogen, who had already given up all evidence of life."Yes...my prince. He's really solid. Even I thought he would budge. but he didn't.I'm impressed" Sally, as usual quickly added his voice in support."It's just a shame that it ended too soon for him." he finished.Ever since the beginning of the conflict, the prince and his band of warriors had been standing aside. Watching as the events unfold.They didn't even attempt, to create a dist
"Listen. Third prince!" Igbins turned to look at the prince, his tone was reprimanding. "We have not had any issues before. Your people had even helped to save my people not too long ago, so I can't understand why you approve of it, that your people, should steal from us." Igbins said with a raised voice, his heart had started to slow burn with suppressed anger.He had already taken the prince's silence before, as acquiescence to Sally's claim. Meaning, it was The Prince, who gave his team permission to rob others.Although Igbins expression was fry-red from anger, it was also visibly noticeable, that he was doing all his best to manage his emotions.One would doubt if this was the same Igbins who recently killed Ogen, a young warrior just because the hapless youth spoke to him arrogantly.And yet, he was taking worse insults from Sally now. Though he was retaliating the best way he could, by dropping indirect
Sally, who had already reached the peak of his rage, hustled first, to meet Igbins. While Igbins wielded his spear to meet head-on with Sally.Clang! Clang! Clang!The sword and spear clashed several times with the powerful outburst of the blast, and a cascading parade of sparks, which fizzed out and dissipated In the air.Their attacks did not comprise of any special or exotic movement at all. It didn't reflect any masterly skills or practice, it was just a simple swipe and block motion done repeatedly, but with so much power.After a short while, dominated by the shrill cry of weapons, Sally was finally pushed backward. He staggered slightly but quickly found his footing again.Then, he tightened his grip on his sword to quieten its reverberation."Humph!"He sneered before pushing forwards again. Slashing at the body of Igbins.However, it
