The fog all dissipated in fast pace yet Jim couldn't move his eyes away from those five creatures in front of him.
Before the fog started to vanish, he had so expectations and few imaginations about what the warriors were like.
But none of his expectations was close to reality.
Each warrior was at least four ters tall. Their skin seed to be wrinkled and deford, flashing with red luster from ti to ti.
For Jim, it looked like they were burnt to death before being born! Their bodies were covered with white straps that hid most of their skin except at the shoulders, forearms, and knees.
Their backs were curved slightly forward while their eyes were dark with longitudinal red slit iris. The mont they ca to this world they all gave him a deep and very intimidating gaze.
"Woosh!"
The air around got restless while a small wave erupted from each one of them.
"Are they... the warriors?" Jim couldn't help but ask.
'Are you afraid?' the old man laughed as if he was amused by what he was seeing.
"I am," Jim honestly replied, "but I'm also excited."
'They are strong, right?' the old man laughed again, 'but you need to establish your superiority over them... you need to beco their pri.'
"I have a bad feeling about this," Jim slowly said before adding, "how can I do that?"
'Well, just say out your na and see what will happen,' the old man seed mysterious and that made Jim more restless.
However he couldn't have a cold foot at this mont, not after what he had done so far to get them.
"My na is Jim, and I'm your father," Jim said in a loud tone.
'It's called pri!' the old man corrected.
"I like father," yet Jim didn't accept his correction.
"Grrr..." just before the two would argue about this, a strange sound ca from the five warriors up front.
Jim silently watched them while one of them stepped forward. "Father? That's hilarious, grr..." that one said while opening its mouth.
Jim could see the strange jaw that was triangular in shape, having only five spear-like teeth on each side of the jaw which made that warrior look weird.
"Do you have an opinion about that?" Jim didn't show any sign of weakness while taking out his sword. He had a hunch about how to establish his authority, yet he didn't hope things would co to this.
The mont his sword was unsheathed, his golden aura shone brightly over this place.
"Grr... That hurts..." All of sudden the warrior retreated fast while putting his hand over his face.
The golden rays only fell on him for a mont, yet Jim swore he heard a sizzling sound coming from that giant warrior's body.
"My blood is your soul," Jim stepped forward while repeating the words he heard before from the old man, "my energy is your body... defy and I'll burn you alive with my energy."
His words were t with his confident steps forward. Each step he took was t with a retreat from the five warriors until they hit the walls of this secret room.
"Submit to , acknowledge as your father or I will kill you all and give birth to new ones," he said with a vicious tone that gave no room for second guesses.
He was set on doing this. Either they submit or die.
"Grr... you are so weak," one of the warriors said in anger, "I can't allow you to be my master!"
That warrior moved fast, wielding his courage and anger as weapons. Yet the mont he was bathed in Jim's golden aura, he couldn't help but scream in a strange voice:
"Grr... Grr... Grr..."
He was burned alive by Jim's aura. Jim didn't want to lose one of them, yet he wouldn't accept any defiance.
He had such a perfect tool of killing under his control. To be perfect they had to submit and acknowledge him as their father.
Or else they would stay as a permanent threat to him. "If you don't submit, then die!" he didn't show any sympathy or rcy towards that warrior. Instead, he moved towards him, forcing others to disperse to any place away from here.
"Submit..." Jim held his sword before pointing it to the ground. He took the stance for his spell, aiming to magnify his golden aura to the max and burn this warrior to death. "Or die..."
The warrior started to emit golden fog out of his body. Jim saw thin golden red lines flashing all over his body, and he had the impression if this warrior kept his stubbornness he would die right here.
"Don't you have any value for your life?" Jim shouted in anger before adding, "submit to you fool, you stand no chance against !"
"Grr... Never... Grr..." yet no matter how wise Jim's words seed, that warrior was like a filthy seed.
"Then die!" Jim didn't hesitate to let his sword down. The mont the sword fell to the ground, the golden aura around him intensified and a big ball of golden aura surrounded him.
And that stubborn warrior just got engulfed into it.
"Grr... Grr... Grr..." the warrior kept screaming in such a weird way before he finally beca silent. Jim didn't release his spell yet he retreated a couple of ters to the back.
And the body of that warrior finally appeared in front of his eyes. "So they turn into charcoaled ore... that's interesting," he muttered the mont he saw the remains of that warrior.
Instead of the giant body, a short and hard looking charcoaled ore appeared in front of his eyes. "Is it useful?" he asked with so interest.
'It's not a bad ore,' the old man said, 'you can make good fiery offensive weapons out of it.'
"Then it has a use for ," Jim didn't hesitate to store the ore away before turning to the remaining four warriors.
They were scattered all over the place. Their faces were lightly covered with white strips so he couldn't tell what they were thinking or feeling at the mont.
"Anyone else wants to act funny?" he shouted while moving his eyes around the remaining four. "Will you submit..." he started to move in a big circle while looking very terrifying to the warriors with his golden aura, "or do you want to die?"
'Give them ti,' the old man suddenly said, 'pushing them too hard won't do. You need to know they are arrogant species, and you are... weak.'
Jim paused before deciding to ignore the last harsh remark of the old man. "I'll give you one hour to decide," Jim slowly said.
He turned around and didn't leave the room. Instead he took a corner and started to form the array once again.
'Don't you want to settle things with them first?' the old man seed a bit hesitant from what he was doing.
"They can't touch ," Jim slowly said, "so why wasting ti on waiting for them to decide? If I'm weak then I can show them my superiority in another way."
'Like what?' the old man said while Jim was ready to start the second array.
"Like the fact they are dispensable," Jim closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "I can summon tens of them, even hundreds. Losing a few of them won't matter to ... and that would be their biggest nightmare ever."
