92 The Fight Between Kuru and Chempokulu (2/2)

Kuru rose as he dusted himself off. This time, he wore a serious face making him look more like a beast than a human. He had learned that it was better never to underestimate his opponent. Who knew, maybe he was fighting a rained on lion and was just behaving like a cat.

”Even if I die here today, I must drag you down with me.”

He shouted before charging towards the warlock once more. Chempokulu raised his arm to counter-attack but this time, instead of Kuru being blasted off, he was immediately covered with a transparent shield around him. No matter how hard his opponent tried, the shield could not be bypassed. This was a defensive spell he had once learned from a certain colleague a hundred years ago.

Seeing that his shield was working, Kuru thrusted towards the warlock with his sword held in front of him. This time, his sword was covered with some energy that emitted a strange destructive aura. This was another spell he had come up with when he had fallen in a precarious situation about fifty three years ago.

The warlock knowing that this battle was not on his side anymore, he had decided to disappear. Unfortunately for him, Kuru was also a wizard and a powerful one at that. Even before turning around, Kuru's sword had already reached the warlock's chest. As soon as it pierced his chest, the energy spread throughout Chempokulu reducing him to dust immediately.

Kuru then sheathed his sword before looking at the dust before him with disdain.

”You possess that small power and you dare go against me. Do you even know when I started my art?”

Everything had happened within a few seconds. Even Ochieng' and his companions who were extremely sensitive to their surrounding did not have time to react before everything was over. They couldn't help but look at Kuru with wide eyes that looked like they would pop out of their sockets.

”I can now introduce myself properly before the Ordainer. You know that fellow's life was giving me lots of migraine. I could not even live my life peacefully. It is a good thing that he is dead.”

Oblivious to the shock of Ochieng' and his companions, Kuru walked towards them with large strides looking at them excitedly. It was as if he had seen some treasure or something.

”Who are you?”

Ratong' was the first to recover from its shock. It immediately asked with deep frowns knitted between its eyes.

”There is no need of being so serious with me Ratong'. I am just a friend who wants nothing more than the success of our brother Ochieng'...”

Kuru was answering still maintaining his excited demeanor when he was interrupted by a frenzied Ratong'.

”You know my name?”

The lion almost shot to the heavens because of shock.
