anwhile, the escaping group of the ice phoenix tribe and Uli ca across another problem. Unknown to them, a group of nefarious people had surrounded them.
They looked like normal people, yet their eyes glowed with a hint of purple.
This quickly caught ena's attention. She inford their group of the situation to prepare for a fight.
After all, these people were ready to kill or die trying.
Why?
They didn't know. But they were sure that nothing good would happen even if they surrendered.
So, an intense fight broke out between the group.
Uli and the kids chose to run away and hide while they t with conflict. The order was given to them by Alex, and it was safer to follow it.
All of the people from the ice phoenix tribe were tier 2 warriors. And it should have been okay to stroll the streets of Blue gem city with those bodyguards. Yet, sohow the unthinkable happened.
A terrorist attack concentrated on one of the strongest tribes on the continent. Whoever they were, they had to be stupid to organise a direct attack like this. After all, attacking the ice phoenix tribe was tantamount to destroying the peace of the whole continent.
They were the protectors of the north. Guardian that prevented a global catastrophe a hundred years ago. They maintain the seals on the demons that caused the great war.
If they are destroyed, it ant that the whole world would be thrown into chaos. And no one, even the other nine great tribes, the rivals of the ice phoenix clan wanted that.
"ena, stay behind," Laya called out to ena, who was watching the unsettling scene unfold.
People were killing each other. Blood covered the snowy street. And corpses were layered near them.
Their servants were doing the best they could to protect their masters. Yet occasionally, a few passed through them. Laya had to personally move to kill the enemies.
Although Laya was a managent genius of the ice phoenix tribe, she was not strong. She was just barely stepping into tier 3 in strength. But it was enough to buy so ti.
"The seniors of the ice phoenix tribe might have already noticed the chaos. Help will co soon." Laya said to her sister.
ena had never seen a gory scene like this in her entire life. Her stomach churned, trying to dispose of all the food that she had eaten.
In that mont of lapse of judgent, she veered away from her sister. And the enemies quickly noticed it.
They sward towards her and slashed her with their daggers.
"Ahh!" ena scread in pain. A deep wound was slashed on her hip. A little off and it could have endangered her life. Fortunately, she dodged enough to not cause fatal injury.
This greatly angered the mild-natured Laya. She went in there and began slashing around her sword.
A burst of energy began manifesting from her sword, freezing anything that ca in contact with the sword. She had begun to subconsciously use the skill of their guardian spirit, the ice phoenix. She was closing in on the threshold of a tier 3 warrior.
With her precise fighting skill combined with her freezing energy, each one of her slashes ensured the death of one of her foes.
"Graaa…" With blood-curdling screams, the enemies fell on the streets motions less.
But even with that, she couldn't prevent ena from being taken, hostage.
A dagger was held near ena's neck stopping Laya in her tracks.
"If you want your sister to live, do as I say. Drop your weapon and move back." One of the attackers said.
He looked nothing special. He didn't have any notable features. Yet he had shown authority over all terrorists.
His words were monotonous and without any emotion. He looked and acted like a robot, instilling fear into Laya. She was genuinely scared that her sister might die.
Quickly, she moved back. But she was unwilling to drop her sword.
"How can I believe you? Are you their leader? Can you make a decision on their behalf?" Even though she knew it was unlikely that he would release ena. She talked to him, trying to buy so ti.
"I am. And today, I am not here to kill anyone." The man said.
"How can you say that after all the carnage you caused?"
"Personally, I didn't. It was done by soone else."
"So, what can I do for you to let her go?" Laya ignored his deceptive reply and asked.
"Drop your weapon and move away. It is all that I require of you."
"Even though you are a thug, you speak like a modest gentleman. Even though you are unreasonable, you try to reason with . It is laughable, isn't it?"
"Are you trying to buy ti? Ha ha ha… This is funny. I was also buying ti. I completed my purpose, it is ti for to leave. I will visit another ti, miss Laya." After saying that, the man chuckled robotically. He took sothing from his pocket and smashed it.
A crack in space ford near him, pulling him inside. With that, he escaped from the blue gem city.
As soon as the spatial crack disappeared, an arrow made of solid ice passed through the place, barely missing him.
And like that, hundreds of arrows rained from the sky, piercing the terrorist. Most of the terrorists died instantaneously and their frozen corpses stood still. It seed like soone was ridding the earth of evil.
"Who dares take my sister, hostage?"
"Sigh…" Hearing the angry voice, a relieved sigh escaped from Laya's lips.
—--------------------
"Sir, shopkeeper. Can you let rest for a mont? The beast is too much for to handle alone. Each one of its punches feels like a mountain slamming against . It would be better if you could completely blind it." Taka who was fighting the six-ard gorilla said.
His body was numb due to the overuse of energy. He was barely dodging the beast right now.
"I could do that. But it will easily break through my smoke screen if you are not grabbing its attention. It is the best I can do to prevent it from rampaging inside the city."
"That makes sense…" Dodges an incoming punch.
"BOOM!" jumps away from the explosion.
"What about the thing you were preparing? Is it done yet?"
"Almost ready. Just a minute."
"Okay!" Dodges one more punch.
"ROAR…."
Alex was busy making sothing, a killer move to take down a fifty-ter-tall gorilla. While Taka dodged left and right, trying to keep the ape busy.
Even though they didn't work together before, their teamwork was impeccable. Both understood each other and complinted to fight sothing stronger than themselves.
"I am done. Lure it to the centre. I don't know how it will react." Alex suddenly called out.
Taka heard it and imdiately ran towards the centre of the destroyed area. And the six-ard gorilla followed him.
"When I reach near its face, stun it for a second." Alex once again said. His plan solely depended on him sneakily getting near the gorilla's face.
"Okay."
And thus, Alex moved hidden through the dense smoke. He ran towards the gorilla and jumped as high as he could.
Thirty ters, not enough to reach the gorilla's face. So, Alex took the risky move and began climbing on the back of the gorilla.
The gorilla sensed it and tried to swat him off like a fly. Thankfully, he teleported inside the farm to dodge it and reappeared on its back.
Alex was like a flea, jumping around on the gorilla's furry back. Climbing towards the top. And within monts, he was already near its head.
"Now."
Taka, who was waiting for the cue, charged towards the beast. His body glowed suddenly. And a ripple of energy was released from his hands.
The special skill of the void fish tribe, the void smash was unleashed.
A spatial ripple travelled from his hands towards the chin of the gorilla. It smashed with full force, montarily stunning the giant beast.
And Alex took hold of the exact mont. Activating his inventory, he dumped all the water mixed with red and black pepper into the gorilla's airway.
"Spice Garden special move Forced Spice Breathing."
It was instantaneous. And poor gorilla couldn't do anything but take it all in.
This was the stuff he was preparing. And it was horrifying.
No sane man would fight soone like Alex who could think of sothing so evil. Taka, who saw this ca to the conclusion.
And Alex was not done yet.
Taking out large pointy wood from the inventory, he pushed it into the ear canals of the stunned gorilla. After that, he kicked it with enough force to burst any ear drum it had.
All of it was done in a continuous fluid motion that perplexed even Taka.
'Who trained him in these wicked ways?' Taka thought as he covered his mouth.
"Gyaaa…"
And the gorilla who was on the receiving end scread in pain. For a mont, it looked like a squealing pig that was about to be slaughtered than the monstrous beast it was.
Its six arms thrashed around, not knowing what to do. While coughing out the concoction. But no cough could remove the muscle-lting spice from its lungs. It couldn't breathe, hear or even see.
It was senseless and in grave pain. It was incapacitated.
Taka took this chance to take out a spear and channel his energy into it. The spear glittered like a silver-coloured fish. And he trusted it into the beast's head.
"Thump…"
With a thunderous sound. It pierced the brain of the beast. Silencing it forever.
With that, Taka was completely drained. He fell down weakly to the ground and looked at the sky.
"Hey! shopkeeper. What's your na?" He asked Alex, who was walking towards him.
"ru."
"Hey, ru. I have so special chicken-like magical beasts in my house."
"It would taste aweso if I cook them."
"Ha ha ha … It would." Taka smiled while Alex sat near him to rest.
