35 Enigma (1/2)

As Ralf heard the voice, he was shocked. He had kept his mental power spread out in his immediate surroundings, no one could come this close unnoticed. He wanted to quickly turn around, however, before Ralf could even do anything, that something had grabbed his shoulder, and yanked him to the side.

Ralf was thrown off the ship, he skipped across the sand like a stone skipping on a lake. Finally he crashed on the paralyzed Cloud Komodo, landing squarely on its tail, making the beast wail.

”AHHH, I've had it, who is intervening in my affairs now.” Ralf shouted as he got up and jumped into the air to get a better look at his assailant. ”Who the hell…”

Ralf was shocked. He could see the individual on the ship, it was a humanoid creature adorned in an unfamiliar full body Armor. However that was not the shocking part, what made Ralf shake down to his very core was that this individual, could not be 'seen' with his mental sense. He kept releasing his mental wave, but it detected nothing, as if it was his eyes that were seeing a false image.

'Is it an illusion.' Ralf thought. 'No, it can't be an illusion. Illusory abilities are the mainstay of the Raavi. I should have detected the controller nearby, meaning this person has some skill to mask himself from my mental powers.'

While Ralf was in the air, contemplating the identity of his attacker, Koren was panicking, worried that he might have been too late.

”Why are they all sleeping, are they hurt, will they be ok.” Koren mumbled. ”What do I do now, what do I do.”

”Calm down Koren, they are fine, except for the Bald one, he took some serious damage to his prefrontal cortex, but nothing I can't handle.” Hope's form appeared in front of the rattling Koren. ”For now you need to decide what to do with that guy.”

Koren snapped out of his unnerved state, and raised his head to look at the floating Ralf.

”So, this is what a Raavi looks like, reminds me of the large cats from earth.” Hope muttered while staring at the floating Raavi with an inquisitive look. ”Don't go all out, test him out a bit, I want to collect more information about the Duality Path of the Raavi.”

”Fine, but first I will heal Senior Sappa.” Koren raised his arm, and the metallic butterflies squirmed out, and flew towards Sappa. They settled over him, releasing a warm light.

Koren turned to look back at the Floating Raavi, and slowly floated off the ship with the help of the repulsors, keeping his eyes glued to his opponent the whole time.

As soon as he was at level with the Raavi, who was looking at him with confusion, he willed his helmet off.

”HUMAN!!” Ralf Yelled out in shock. This armored individual was able to approach him in complete silence, and throw him back with such force, that he never even had an opportunity to counter. However, this individual was not a Raavi general or a Lizard, but a human.

”You… Are you from the Icy Mountains.” Ralf couldn't help but blurt. ”We have a treaty with your cities, you can't leave the Luna Range.”

Ralf stared at the young face of the human warrior and tried to calm himself. In his long military career, he had crossed paths with many human warriors who follow the essence path, but apart from the City Lords, no one was able to match him in the same level. Yet he couldn't even feel a hint of essence from this youth, not even a trace.

Koren didn't bother to answer the Raavi, instead he returned a chilling smile.

Suddenly, the repulsors on Koren's back fired with a raging sound and he rocketed towards the Giant Cat like person.

Ralf's feline ears became erect as soon as he saw the human smile, and he became alert, wrapping his tail around his waist, he prepared his defensive shield.

His intuition was proven right, as in the next moment, the human flew towards him with incredible speed.

Ralf made a few gestures and the transparent shield around him started to shrink. The shield continued to shrink until it was only a thin transparent layer on his skin.

As a Raavi, Ralf knew that his mental power was strongest when it was close to the source, and as it is spread out, it becomes weaker, especially in the case of defensive abilities.

Koren appeared right next to Ralf, and smacked him right across his face.

Ralf felt helpless, the speed of this human's movements were so fast, that even he could barely make them out. As soon as the human's slap connected with his face, the thin, invisible defensive layer buckled under immense pressure, and shattered.

While Ralf stood there shocked, Koren smiled and then used his other hand to slap him again and again. By the time he finally stopped, Ralf's face looked more like a porcupine than a Noble Raavi.

”You...you…” Ralf was fuming, but he couldn't do anything about it. In front of this human, his Noble demeanor was nowhere to be seen. ”You can't do this to me, I am Ralf Arvo, I'm a Raavi General. We…”

slap…slap…slap

Three more slaps and Ralf was silent. He found this individual to be unreal, an enigma that shouldn't exist. No essence power, no spiritual power, no mental power, yet strong to this degree, even artifact Armor's need spiritual runes and immense spiritual power to manipulate.

”That was for what you did to the Human's on that ship, and this…” Koren eyes burned with rage as he grabbed the tail wrapped across Ralf's waist. ”…Is for Sappa”

Ralf didn't even have the time to process what the human said, before he felt a tug on his tail, and he was tossed around like a toy, his surrounding's constantly changing. He tried to use his mental strength to go free, but no matter how much power he poured forth, he just couldn't get rid of the human.

”Hey Koren, let the poor kitty go, this is animal cruelty.” Hope snickered while looking at the wailing Ralf. ” Let him attack you a bit, I want to see more of the duality path.”

Koren listened to Hope and let go of the tail, hurling the Raavi in the air.
