Chapter 385: Elder Giel (1/2)

A few minutes earlier

The fire exploded from Kairu, swallowing a big chunk of the forest. The fire burned the trees and the land, even the Bombyx Mori army was swallowed by the fire.

”Abiel, oh Abiel! Fortunately, I came to check, if not we will lose a big force,” a leisurely voice rang amidst the blazing fire.

Helia seemed to recognize the voice and warned Kairu, ”Be careful, that voice belongs to the Elder of the main tribe.”

Slowly a figure made of fire descended into the flame. The figure was two meters tall and had the same shape of wings as the Bombyx Mori, but the wings were made of fire.

There was no feature to the figure, it was just made of fire. The figure's face was flat, the burning fire. Kairu could not even find eyes in the figure.

”Your fire is quite strong,” the figure spoke to Kairu, clearly the figure was more interested in Kairu than anyone else here.

Kairu did not respond to the figure's words as he merely scanned the opposite party. He was thinking about how to fight this figure. This figure was made of fire, he wondered if his fist could hit the figure.

”I never thought to meet someone this strong…” Kairu muttered, there was an excitement in his voice. Since he came to Earth, he only encountered a weak zombie. This was the first that he met a creature that could negate his fire.

”What about joining us instead? We can give you a spot as an Elder, what about it?” The fire being gave an offer to Kairu to join the Bombyx Mori Tribe.

”Not interested,” Kairu declined the offer with a wide grin. He then rushed forward and leaped toward the air.

The Flaming Lion made an unexpected move, catching the fire figure off guard. Kairu's first was covered in fire and punches the figure made of fire.

Fwoosh!

The flaming fist passed through the figure. It did not have a physical body hence Kairu's fist merely passed through the figure made of fire.

”You might be strong, but you are choosing the wrong opponent,” the figure made of fire spoke in a regretful tone, ”Since you have decided to be our enemy, then I have to kill you here!”

The figure made of fire put his palm on Kairu's chest. Fire exploded, sending Kairu to the ground. The Lion Beastmen was spinning and crashed to the ground.

The black smoke rose, covering Kairu underneath. The first exchange told Kairu that his fist could not hit this weird creature.

”I will take care of this lion, you chase the other one, Abiel! Catch him alive if you can, but if you can't, you can kill the ape!” The figure made of fire commanded the Fire Bombyx Mori General.

The army was flying above the range of Kairu's fire because the being made of fire suppressed the fire with his strange power. It kept them safe from Kairu's fire.

”Yes, Elder Giel!” Abiel replied respectfully before he led the army of the Bombyx Mori to chase after Pride.

”Do you see this, Chief Helia! Your decision to betray us will lead your tribe and your kind to their doom!” Elder Giel finally looked toward Helia who was hiding behind the light protection.

”It's not too late to change your decision, Chief Helia. I can speak to Chief Head to pardon your sin. He may listen to me and will not punish you severely,” Elder Giel tried to persuade Helia to change her mind.

The Light Bombyx Mori Tribe might be lacking in combat. But their ability to support the main force could not be doubted. The Light Bombyx Tribe's role in the war was crucial.

The reason Chief Head Vehiel did not help Helia's tribe was to corner her and her tribe. They wanted the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe to be dependent on the main tribe by reducing their numbers.

However, Kairu and Pride was the factor they never considered in their plan. They never thought that there was another tribe to help Helia. Kairu and Pride disrupted Chief Head Vehiel's plan.

”Heh, the fight is not over, Giel, is it?” Kairu stood in a shallow pit. His mane and fur turned into a fire, it made Kairu look like wearing a coat made of fire, ”This is just the beginning!”

Elder Giel shook his head as he looked down at Kairu, ”The fight is indeed not over, but you should realize that you could never win against me. Your false bravado will lead to your doom.”

”Is that so?” Kairu was grinning widely at Elder Giel. The Flaming Lion picked one habit from his lord, the grin. He kept grinning at the enemy.
