92 The Fight Between Kuru and Chempokulu (1/2)
Kuru knew he had no time. The One from above had told him that this fellow had been received by the current Ordainer because it was thought that he was useful alive. Nevertheless, the Lord of darkness had planned to use this opportunity to mutilate Ochieng' once and for all. He had already failed as an Ordainer. This fact had always made him live with regrets in his life. Probably that was the reason why he had decided to lead a lonely life far from every human being.
He knew by being sent by the One from above, he had been given an opportunity to do something for Keniya. How couldn't he hold onto it dearly?
”Those are beings from another world whose their main goal is to destroy mankind.”
Kuru said angrily as he directed his red eyes towards the other man. The man felt like two daggers were directly pointed towards him and he could not help but subconsciously retreat two steps. However, he did not show any sign of fear.
This man was Chempokulu. He had been a warlock known for evil and was being helped by the people from the dark world to expand his villainous crafts. A few days ago, he had received orders from the sisters of the dark to walk with Ochieng' just so that the people from the dark world would be capable of trailing the Ordainer. He could not just be given a role which bore great risks without giving him a little power, right?
”You are a human for heaven's sake. Furthermore, you will gain nothing by aiding those people but what have you decided to do? You have chosen to help them destroy Ochieng', a mam destined to save mankind from an impending calamity coming to the great people of Keniya. Do you think what you are doing is the right thing?” Kuru continued to scold the other party coldly.
At this moment, Ratong' landed on the ground. Everyone's doubtful eyes were fixated on Chempokulu. Seeing them like this, the warlock could not just be quiet. In his perspective, his disguise had not been seen through by this man and the beasts.
”What are you talking about? I have sworn to walk by the Ordainer's side and help him in his quest. Even if it is worth my life, I am willing to do anything for the sake of his success. Why are you spouting so much nonsense here?”
Couldn't be bothered with arguing with this wolf in sheepskin, Kuru made his move. He knew very well that arguments will only conceive nothing useful. He pointed his sword towards the other fellow as he charged towards him with great force. This made him pierce through the air like a rocket charging towards the sky. If this landed on the warlock, he would instantly die.
”It is not that easy to kill me.”
The warlock had long retreated backwards and was already off the lion's large back.
Ochieng' and his companions did not know why things had taken this direction. They had all suspected that this Mboya could be a fake but they had chosen to be with him to play a little. Who would have known that someone could beat them to it.
”What should we do?” Mudho asked.
”Since I started my journey as an Ordainer Mudho, there are things that have happened in a way that I myself cannot understand. We all knew that this Mboya was up to no good. It is not a coincidence that another person has appeared to deal with him and judging from how he was talking, this Mboya is worse than we thought. Unless it is necessary, let us just be quiet and watch.” Ochieng' said calmly as he crossed his arms before his chest.
The others nodded in agreement.
When Kuru was just a meter away from the warlock, the latter stretched his right arm before blasting the former forcefully. The former was sent flying before knocking a few trees down a few meters away from the point where they were battling. Kuru had come here knowing that killing Chempokulu would be a walk in the park for him. After all, he was a great wizard and had once been an Ordainer on top of that.
”You possess some power...”
