291 A Violent Family Reunion Part 2 (1/2)

Of all of the fighters that were taking part in the fight, the one who was the most excited about was, without a doubt, Kennah. While his entire being was centered around the use of poisons, that was only due to his personality and desires. He was also an adventurous, and yet bored individual.

For a very long time he had looked for somebody with whom he could have a good fight, or for events which he had never witnessed before, and that day, was the day in which many of his desires had become reality.

His wish to fight against his siblings was visceral, and after learning that not only was one of his friends looking for one, but that he was an outcast, and that he traveled along with a dragon, he had decided to disregard the rules placed by Iewah, and use his powers to help in the search for Daniel.

Xargy was not his opponent, but he certainly was a sight to see.. His size was immense, and his power could rival that of mid-high level elite members of most factions. Furthermore, his oddly colored flames and his ability to transform in human form, revealed that he was not a common dragon, but a member of the royal family.

His fight against this massive and powerful dragon was but a way to spend time. It was Daniel's arrival that had brightened his day once again.

Unfortunately, for how much he wanted to fight against his younger brother, Daniel's lack of physical power due to his young age had made it impossible for the two of them to compete.

He was extremely confident in the power of his gift, and he did not believe that Daniel's could be more powerful.. So he decided to entertain himself with Xargy instead of Daniel.. As the former could at least hope to put up a fight.

All of that had changed once again when his fighting spirit was lit up more than ever. He had felt the power of another of his brothers the very moment a hand had come out of his companion's sleeve and grabbed his neck.

But that, was not all..

His heart began to rumble like thunder, as the presence of one more of his brothers appeared during each of its beats. First, was the shadowy hands that attacked his companion.. Second, was a man in nobleman's clothes and covered in jewels.. And lastly, was a man clad in heavy armor, a golden cape, and with a crown on his head.

”..Now we are talking.. haha..” muttered Kennah with excitement.

From being an already rare encounter between two of the youngest children of Iewah and their followers, this event had turned into one of the historically most feared events within the territory of the Universal Government.

Such an encounter would usually culminate in wars that would last for years, pulling numerous factions into galactic level conflicts, and be talked about for tens of thousands of years.. An event feared by most factions, and known by the highest spheres of the numerous factions as a ”Family Reunion”.

If the five children of Iewah were any older, and the family reunion was between the strongest of Iewah's faction, the war that would have ensued would have forced the intervention of numerous factions and the universal government itself just to be stopped.

”What are you doing here?” Asked the Ruler to Kennah with narrowed eyes. The two had never met each other, and yet, from a single look, he was able to recognize him as his own kind, just like Kennah had felt them when they had appeared.

”Just happened to pass by.. But now I am kind of glad that I did..” Said Kennah while looking at the two individuals that were floating in Xargy's green flames, completely unscathed.

The body of the Ruler was covered by what appeared to be a small division of soldiers which formed an impenetrable shell around him with their shields. Their expression assured that they would rather die than allow any attack to reach through, and hit their king.

On the other hand, the body of the Rich Man was covered by the transparent figure of a golden boar whose tusk were long and curved outwards, and fur formed a tapestry of golden and silver colors.

The two really wanted to jump in the fray.. But the encounter with their father had reminded them who was in command, allowing them to focus on their mission and collaborate.

”Poison brother, we were sent here by our father.. How about you sit this one out?” Said the Rich Man while smiling politely, and looking like a wealthy merchant that was trying to make everyone happy, and avoid the situation from going out of control.

”I am afraid I won't be able to do that.. I couldn't care less about what the old man wants. I will kill all of you, and go kill him once I am done here.” Responded Kennah while pinching the string of his bow, and forming eight arrows with his poison.

While the Rich Man shook his head in disappointment, the ruler unsheathed a sword from an imaginary sheath placed by his waist, and after pointing it upwards, he said with the voice of a king meeting his opponent in battle ”Let's see if your poison can assassinate this king.”As soon as these words reached the ears of the people present, an army of heavily armored warriors appeared in the area around him.

These warriors were identical to the Ruler, but their armor appeared to be of a lower level. They were the Ruler's subjects, and royal army.

Just as the three children of Iewah were about to engage in battle, a few dozens of kilometers away, the elite member of the Garden of Death was struggling with the grip that the Shadow had on his neck.

The power of the grip was not the problem, since the level of his cultivation was slightly higher than his opponent, and therefore, he couldn't choke him to death even if he wanted to. The real problem, was the feeling of being pulled into a dimension to which he did not belong to.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he tried to cover himself with poison, or to use his sheer strength to shatter the Shadow's arm.. His attacks did not appear able to hurt his opponent in the least.

After a few moments of panic, he finally managed to calm down and realize the nature of the attack, so he grabbed the sleeve from which the dark hand was coming from with his other hand, and ripped it off completely.

It was only after he let of of the sleeve and he turned to look at Daniel, that he felt a sharp pain coming from the center of his spine. He looked down in horror, and noticed that there was a dark fuming sword that had pierced through his back, and had come out from his chest. The sword had come out from a small shadow present in the floating sleeve which he had just ripped off of his clothes.

While fighting against the Ruler and the Rich Man, Kennah was also keeping an eye out for the Shadow. He had heard of the nicknames of the three before, and thanks to the information gathered by the individuals who had survived an encounter with them, he able to guess what their power were.

He knew that the powers of the two he was fighting were highly defensive, which were the the extreme opposite of his.. So he had already prepared to use different means of fighting than simply pushing through their defenses thanks to his gift.
