Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 11

Beast Stampede.

Near River Omiris

Fred, Walt and Lucy have been here for three day, except for occasional fights with the demonic beasts who aren’t afraid of death, they have nothing to do except to eat , play and wait for Silas to show.

“its been three days no, I don’t know how Silas has been doing” Fred said. ” He should have arrived at the island by now, I hope he doesn’t encounter those bloody monsters”

“You don’t need to worry about him, he knows how to take care of himself“ said Lucy.

“Silas is a cunning bastard, even if he can’t get the fruit, he has many means of escape”. Walt

“Right, you guys didn’t notice anything strange about the demonic beasts around here?” Lucy asked

“Yes, they’ve been acting strangely lately. Walking in groups, and their strange meetings…thanks to the gods that they didn’t notice us” Walt said “ we could have been a meal on their table, ready to be devoured”

”i eavesdroped on one of their meetings during the past two days” Lucy said “but due to my insufficient knowledge of the ancient beast language I didn’t get any useful information“

” but there’s one thing I’m sure of, they’re planning for a great war, all their generals are present for this meeting, even the ferocious ‘ eye looking ape’ . The three tailed fox, and even the group of poisonous and blood s-----g bees are present“

Walt: they sure are planning for something big, and it has something to do with our town.

”but we still have to wait for that bastard to come back” Fred complained ” we could have gone back to town to bring this piece of information back to the palace“

” they’re planning for a beast stampede, it’s been twenty years since the last one ” a voice called out from the dark.

“ who are you, show yourself ” Fred called out as he reached for his sword.

The group didn’t lose guard since they came to set up a tent here, yet someone could sneak up on them without them knowing. That means the person has means and power beyond their realms.

They all stood up with their weapons in hand, searching for the intruder…activating the preying mantis formation.

“ you don’t need to panic, it is I ” an old man with white beards walked out from behind a large rock.

He wore a silver set of armor, his purple cape gives him an heroic vibe.

He walked magesticaly into the light, merely glancing at him, you’ll know that he’s someone with authority.

“ elder bland? ” they all called out in shock

“ elder bland, what are you doing here? ” Fred asked

“ did you think your father will leave you to go out in the wild without any means of insurance? ” elder bland asked.

“ your father asked me to protect you in secret, in case any accident occur. ”

“he did?” Lucy asked “ I know he’ll never let us gain experience on our own”

“right, are you behind that three headed beasts misfortune?” Fred asked “ I thought as much ”

“ not me, someone must have done something in the dark…maybe your father asked someone to protect him” elder bland said

“well, kids it’s time to go home… they’ve brought war to our doorstep, we have to welcome them with our bows and arrows, entertain them with a beautiful skill and make them leave their bodies behind for us to harvest” elder bland said

“the beasts are planning a big attack, they are currently near the city gate. Gathering forces, waiting for the right time to fight. according to the letter your father sent through the pigeon, the academy has issued another mission for this stampede”. Elder bland said poetically

”what about Silas he’s still out there“ Lucy asked

” don’t worry, I’ll be here to bring him home. You wouldn’t meet any beast on the way, they’ve all gone to the city gates“ elder bland said ” it’s much safer when you’re within the walls“ he looked more like a hero who’s ready to sacrifice his life for a greater good.

” the king’s guard will be ready to receive you near the South gate, when you get there show this to the city guards, they’ll let you in. “ he gave them an insignia, a seal that belongs only to the Williams family.

” alright, elder bland “ Fred said.

They packed their bags as they set off to the city gate, elder bland saw them off to the yellow mountain before going back to the sea ” river omiris “.

On their way to town, they didn’t meet with any trouble. When they got near the city gate, the guards welcome them in upon seeing their family’s insignia.

” welcome back young masters “ the city guards greeted them.

” lord Williams asked me to bring you to meet him, I’ll explain everything about the mission to you on the way “ one of the guards said.

……………..

” so, you’re saying that the number and the level of beasts killed will determine the level of rewards we’re to receive? “ Lucy asked.

” yes ma’am, you can exchange your points for pills, advance books on formation, beast taming, some self cultivation technique , and some skills like the legendary thunder palm“

”the reward is measured in points, killing a level 1 beast will give you 2 points, level 2 beast will give you 5 points, level 3 beast will give 10 point, level 4 beast will give 15 points, level five will give 20 points which can be used to exchange for pills skill books etc and even divine coins“. The guard explained.

” woww “ Walt exclaimed ” we are rich, so how do they know how many kills we made? “ he asked.

” that’s simple, before joining the war you’ll have to sign up at the academy’s registration point not far from here and you’ll be given a ‘cosmos bracelet’ a magical bracelet that let you store things without taking much space, some bracelet are so big that you can even a whole house there and still have enough space for two more.“

” the bracelet has been set with a magnetic formation that if a demonic beast beast is killed, their beast core will be absorbed by the bracelet and point will be given according to the strength of the demonic beast killed “ the guard explained.

” and if you encounter an enemy stronger than you on the battlefield, you have a one time chance to use the teleportation array set on the bracelet. It’ll take you anywhere as long as it’s within 500 miles from your location “ the guard explained, as they neared the war academy centre.

”There’s such a magical tool in our town?, I can’t believe this.” Fred argued “ why haven’t I heard of such a legendary tool ”

“ that’s because you’re just a frog at the bottom of a well, claiming that the sky is round ” a young, handsome man joined in the conversation but the sneer on his face and the disdain in his tone is hard to cover up.

” the cosmos bracelet formations were made in the logos empire, by a great genius formation master “ master B ” , he’ll be 30 this year and he’s already a nine star fighter with space power…if you’re looking for a true genius you don’t need to look far, he’s at logos empire.“ he continued.

” Good day young master bada ” the little guard greeted the young man with a bow.

Young master bada is the first son of the town’s minister of finance me davil Stan…he may be a braggart and a proud son of a… But he has the strength and brains to back it up.

“ the magical bracelet was donated by the God’spower family of logos empire in support of this war, that’s all for today. If you need more lessons, he knows where to find me” bada said pointing at the little guard while strutting back to wherever he came from with a proud look on his face.

“ that braggart came to showoff again, I really felt like punching him in the face but I dare not” Walt said

“We’re here“ the little guard said as they reached the academy building.
