84 The Ice Serpen (1/2)
Swish!
When they were a few meters above the gulch, they heard a sound of a movement. They all turned their heads towards the source and what they saw made them shudder. In the long gulch was a long brown serpent with white patches. Cold energies wafted from its silky scales making its surrounding extremely cold. It had a small head which contrastedits enormous size. The sound of the movement came from its tiny head which it was moving from time to time.
”What brings you strangers here at this time of the day?”
The serpent roared even before the group of seven reached it. Ratong' wanted to give an answer but even before it opened its mouth, the serpent's tail swept out making the seven plummet from the sky with great force. Since the floor of the gulch was rocky, the cracking of bones, spilling of blood and painful wails filled the air as the seven fell one by one. Not even Ochieng' was spared this time.
”How can a filthy snake like you dare attack us, we special people? I must kill you!”
Ratong' stood with flames of fury rising from its toes all the way up to its head. It goes without saying that among its companions, it had the strongest skin. While that fall could have injured the others to the point that they could not rise at least for a minute, it was still fine. Since it was 'ordained', it had never met an animal that could dare touch it let alone attack it. This made it so angry that it could puke blood. It jumped towards the serpent with its greatest speed making it reach the serpent in a flash.
”Such a lowly creature calls me filthy. I cannot let you get away with it.”
The serpent snorted before it swept its tail once again to meet Ratong's attack. The tail and the fast moving Ratong' collided with great momentum producing shockwaves that spread like fire on dry grassland.

Thud!
Ratong' was sent flying several meters away before falling with a resounding thud on the rocky ground. The serpent did not even move an inch. In fact, it coiled beautifully while lifting it's tiny head loftily.
Ochieng', Jade Eagle and the other three lions were now standing looking at the serpent confusedly. Mudho and Ochieng' had consumed the 'hono' fruit, they could recover in a lightning speed. As for Mang'weya, Jade Eagleand the tribe head, their bodies had been tempered in the Spiritual dimension, they were not any way inferior to thetwo. Nalianya and the other man were however still wriggling in pain on the ground.
”You messed with the wrong guy!”
Ochieng' billowed as a three foot long sword appeared in his right hand. The sword was glowing in red and yellow. That was the Apotheosis Sword. These beasts were his friends. Mudho for example was like a parent to him, he could not stomach seeing the others being injured much less Mudho.
”Harrumph,”
The serpent harrumphed as it saw a twenty year old man dashing at him with a fire like sword. It straightened itself out before forcefully sending its tiny head towards Ochieng'.
The Apotheosis Sword and the beast's head collided with an ear deafening clang sound. Ochieng's hand that held the sword vibrated before a stifling pain rose from the hand all the way up to his arm. He released the sword which fragmented a nearby rock. He himself was thrown a few meters away before falling in a wrecked state.
