31 Thunder Beast, Kirin 2 (2/2)
”Young Lord...” A member voiced out, what could the message contain that would spoke their leader.
”Good and Bad news, Good news the date had been extended.”
When they heard it they were relieved, but they noticed something was missing.
”Then we don't need to rush anymore sir...”
”No, we must make haste, bring out writing tools to give our reply, we will continue after crossing for a whole day, until then no breaks!”
They were surprised on why their leader was agitated, but they did as they were told, after writing the message and sending the messenger of they continued after their short break.
”...Young Lord Felix, what had gotten you so spooked...”
Felix then turned his back and told the news in a grim tone.
” 'The Naga's are preparing, be wary', that is what it says...”
Hearing such a news was a nightmare, so they dropped everything be it drinking or napping and rode their horses towards their destination, to prepare as well.
***
It took about an hour, but they have finally arrived at their destination.
”We're here!!!”
Stigma had found this place when they were tailing Denis for a day and left it alone.
When he was resting, he practiced his energy and used his skills and found a bundle of lights inside the ground.
He saw some of them moving around, but soon found three of them before.
A nest full of 1st Tier Heavenly Beast!!!
He wanted to test his and Kirin's abilities, along with gaining experience.
But with them all bundled up together he would be angering all of them instead of killing them.
While Stigma was busy planning on how to separate them, Kirin dashed towards the nest and was wearing a coat of lightning.
”Kirin!!!”
He screwed the planning and went after it, grabbing Hilda and started hacking away the nearest snake aiming from Kirin's blindspot.
”Why do all my plan go the wrong way!!!”
Learning from his previous experience, he didn't swing Hilda with too much force but enough to use the muscles on his arms.
He already had enough Zen energy to have a breakthrough, he remembered a phrase that stuck to him by his father.
Learn to crawl, before you can walk, then run.[1]
His attack pattern was simple he swung his sword beheading about three snakes, stomped the ground if it got close, dodging when they were overwhelming him.
From time to time he would charge towards from the side, only to be greeted with the others strengthening their defense, so he had to jump back and continue swinging her around, killing them by two's or three's.
Since Hilda can use her skill to weaken the surface, then followed by the blade, using her in slashing was considered an ultimate weapon in the hands of an expert.
But in his hands it was similar to swinging a stick, so he still had to train more to fully use her.
From his surroundings, bodies of snakes were littered, all either beheaded or sliced in half.
He felt proud of his small accomplish, but lost confidence when he saw Kirin's pile.
It was literally a beast of nature, unlike him who was taking it easy, Kirin was dashing from area to area.
When a snake came close he immediately jumped away from it, then did a move that was similar to bolt tackle.
Its fighting style was simple, biting the snakes or slashing at them, from time to time it released a surge a surge of thunder that almost blinded and made him go deaf, like actual lighting.
Every now and then, most of the dodging was from Kirin than from the snakes.
It looked like it was enjoying its new found strength and ignored the frantic it's frantic master.
If he knew any better, it was playing around by destroying the nest completely.
After a few flashes, the ground was covered in burn marks and some the corpses where beyond recognition, if he hadn't dodge in time, he would have been screwed.
What the hell!!! Did it have some form of resentment against me!!!
But the perpetrator was wagging its tail as it trudged towards him, like he didn't notice his path of destruction.
He was about to scold it, when he heard the entrance of the nest overflowing.
When he used his skill, he was shocked.
What was coming out was a 3rd Tier!!!!
[Species: Great Serpent
Rank: Common (III)(Early)
Skills: Defense Up (II), Intimidation (IV), Bind (III)]
Before he could reach, a flash of light flew past him, the next thing he knew, there was a beheaded corpse of the great serpent coming out of the ground.
The body slouched a puddle of blood came in front of it.
After thinking through the events, he guessed that Kirin had cloaked itself in thunder then aimed at its throat.
It was too fast that he could not even begin to believe that it was still a beast, but a godly being from the actual mythology.
Scary!!!
He slowly realized that he was raising a beast!
