The trip lasted less than a week only. Since our bored gar was already in Thephri owned territories, getting to the center of the race was an easy enough task indeed.
"BOOM!" A large squid-like pet landed on perhaps the biggest and most advanced planet amidst this constellation of stars.
Different from the previous worlds where there was only 1 captain monster to guard everything, this planet was brimming with activity.
There were thousands of cities built and trillions of sentient monster populations.
Although the Thephri looked like misshapen creations of a drunk artist but one could never find a lack in their sense of community.
There was open trade to be seen and many wonderful technologies on sale and used which primarily ca from the myriad worlds that they had conquered.
More than that, there was also a rich business in the slave markets.
Although the majority of the populace was still ignorant about their impending doom but the sa could not be said to the head and brain of their civilization.
"A strong enemy cos." A seemingly ordinary crow muttered in its loneso. It did not panic at all as it continued to wait for its visitors to co.
* * *
"No reaction whatsoever. Interesting!" Our bored gar said after he noticed that his enemy did not care at all in his arrival.
He knew that it had noticed his existence already because of his rampant use of divine sense to scour its ho and people.
"I guess we should make our presence known in the old fashion way." Clark smiled and walked towards the colossal but ugly looking citadel before him.
It was obvious that the Thephri race had a different taste of beauty than the majority of humans.
"TAP!"
"TAP!"
"TAP!"
.
..
...
Running figures could be heard in the distance and before long, 2 long columns which consisted of armored rats approached the newcors in haste.
Clark continued walking and ignored them all.
'We're dead. Or perhaps only I.' Little Black trembled in fear at the back since it could feel that every single one of these warriors were much stronger than he was.
In the end, Little Black could only follow the footsteps of his master and closed his eyes in the process.
"TAP!"
"TAP!"
"TAP!"
.
..
...
Little Black walked with his tentacles and arms but as the seconds ca and went, he got curious to hear and sense no fighting whatsoever.
This made him open his eyes once more and marveled at the 2 columns of rats which stood in attention and respect on the sides.
"You are not wrong, Little Black."
"The Thephri leader is truly wise." Our bored gar chuckled as they passed through the hot welco of these warriors.
The journey did not stop there since the gates of the citadel were still a long way off.
"My master is pleased by your visit, esteed guest."
"Please follow . My master has prepared a feast in your honor." A lovely woman said at the entrance of the citadel.
Clark used his divine sense to explore the identity of this girl and he was surprised to see that this was indeed a real human and no monster.
He quickly deduced that this woman must have been one of the countless slaves of this world.
"Lead the way, girl." Our good gar nodded. After that, they walked so more into winding steps and stairs until they arrived at the top of the construct.
And the girl was indeed not joking earlier. There was a big feast in sight at the end of their hike.
Alas, most of the attendees were so of the ugliest monsters that Clark saw in his life but he cared not for this paltry aspect at all. He has better things to focus on.
One of those was of course the ordinary crow at the head of this gathering.
"Welco, my friend from distant stars!"
"I am called Dark Crow and the founder of the Thephri."
"Please co and join in this feast."
"We could talk more about other things after we eat." The crow spoke not in his native language but uttered the human tongue with perfect delivery and intonation.
"Okay." Clark answered calmly and began walking to the main table of the party. Behind him, Little Black was busy whispering sothing in alarm.
"Don't eat anything from this table, Master!"
"This was how we were subdued millions of years ago!"
Little Black almost pulled the blanket that covered our bored gar's body in order to show his desperation and the danger of this setting.
"Don't worry, Little Black. An insignificant plot like this is not enough to defeat ." Clark replied audibly. Thus, the feast started in ti.
Food and drinks were shared and music filled the air. Three hours later, Dark Crow then began to reap the fruits of his preparation.
"I'm not surprised by your arrogance, my friend Kian."
"As the old say, this is the natural deanor of the strong." Dark Crow showed his bird smile and gazed at the composed visitor before him.
Since he knew that the enemy ca to his domain, he also realized that this certain enemy believed that he had enough capital to defeat him in his ho.
Unfortunately, this alien guest has vastly underestimated his resources at hand.
"Are you talking about the poisoned drinks and food?"
"I barely felt them at all. You need to practice more to reach perfection in this great dao." Clark shrugged and a full jar of wine to prove his point.
'Impossible! I could not even entirely resist the effects of this concoction Lover's Seed!' Dark Crow was secretly shaken inside.
This was the sa poison he used to entice the cooperation of the Misara race before. A drop of this mix and anyone would be spellbound to follow whatever he wishes.
One should know that Dark Crow has continued to improve this formula until even level 10 existences could not help but succumb to these effects.
'This human must be faking it!' Dark Crow judged.
"Stand up and bow before your new master!" Dark Crow put his hypothesis to the test.
"BANG!" Alas, he only earned a huge fist to the beak.
