Grand Adventures of the Witch King

Clash 3

As Ullo continued to fight the chief, his instincts warned him of something bad.

And the feeling got worse the longer he clashed with him. And so he decided to end it now and here so he used his most powerful attack and end the chief right here for he was the only one that could threaten him, physically at least.

So with the glowing hands, he was next to the chief’s head like a shadow and thrust it towards his neck. Ready to send the brave and valiant chief to his ancestors!

But as his arm was about to pierce the chief’s throat, the chief snapped his eyes open and swiftly shifted his position instantly, his instincts screaming at him!

Psh! Boom!

He managed to save his life, but the blow connected and sent him flying.

The villagers clenched their fists and held back the tears that threaten to flow from their eyes as they saw the gaping wound that stretched diagonally from the chief’s collar bone down his upper ribs.

Clearly, that should have been his head!

‘Unyielding bastard! Fine, I’ll take that as me being merciful and leave this village then.’ Ullo thought slightly as he didn’t press on and thought it the best time to leave now.

“What are you standing there for!? Quickly go stall him while the chief gets back on his feet so that once he does together you and him can defeat the evil Buburu! We the women will support you all so that you hold him for your families and children, don't let this foul being devour your children, and play with your women!” A familiar voice reached Ullo’s ears.

Of course, this woman had to intervene and would not let him go. She shouted in a pitiful and passionate voice that roused the elders and protectors that were frozen at the utter defeat of their strongest, now they seemed to be fuel by fire and a determined spirit as they looked at their own women and that monster bathed in red like blood as the images flooded in their minds at her words.

But in Ulo's ears, this was the most wretched sound his ears had ever had the displeasure of hearing.

This made Ullo turn and had his dense killing intent pour into her very being making her shut up instantly and seem even more pitiful as she helplessly trembled under the caress of the chilling promise of death, it was so heavy that the other women next to her also felt it but at a bare minimum.

Yet, in the elders and protectors’ eyes, it was a display of the tyranny that he would bring. He would ravage the poor women and devour their children. This made them burn with hatred that could start a forest fire that they all leaped off the stage and stood in front of the women.

"I don't want to kill anyone here. Only her!" Seeing this, Ullo pointed at that she-beast with pure raw killing intent, that woman had to die!

However, all the elders and protectors heard was that he was demanding them to move aside so he could have his way with their women.

For this, their reply almost made Ullo believe he was facing a beast horde in the forest!

Roar! Moo! Woo!

Soon the elders and the protectors transformed, each in their own beast forms, from what looked like; oxen, wolves, boars, and bears as well as other ferocious forms, each one being beasts in the ranks of Fierce beasts.

Just then strange sounds of incantations were being chanted by the women and colorful auras lit up on the bodies of the transformed men in front of them.

These were spells meant to support them. Ullo identified them as healing, speed, protection, strength, and agility, and others he didn’t know.

And then they also tried to send curses to Ullo in hopes of weakening him. But they broke off with a mere snort from him, as his aura flared greatly, “Such low-level spells can’t work on me!”

This made the women bite their lips in frustration, but this was enough for they had boosted the men and would provide support with their regular spells like fireball and lightning bolts.

The women too went through the Coming of Age ceremony once they had reached 16 and it was all held at the same date as the men, however since the Beast transformation technique was somehow made for the men, there was another the women learned and this was kept by the old shaman which he didn't bother investigating as he had better things to do back then.

She was not here, even though she was rumored to be powerful, she was older and didn’t have much strength to move about much less fight.

Like the transformation technique, Ullo didn’t know what this magic technique was, but he knew that each one of these women could take on a low to mid-level Fierce beast.

He was only okay because of his technique, otherwise, he would have been hard-pressed right now.

Ding!

As he was about to enter a stance and tear through this blockade and then kill that woman, his foot touch an object that produced a metallic sound.

Giving it a glance, he noticed that it was his sword that had forgotten all this time when he was flung away from the stage. 

With a flick of his foot the longsword rose into his hand, he then channeled the yellow glow down on the blade of the sword and brandished it lightly.

This was the weapon his father left him with, it was so strong that it was able to pierce through the defenses of many beasts that he had fought against, now along with his ability that could pierce armor he was more than ready to tear apart these transformed people.

Come to think of it, these people looked more possessed and evil compared to him. But he knew that these people had been using these techniques since forever and him that didn’t need to transform to beat them was the strange one.

Shaking his head to clear these unnecessary thoughts Ullo looked at these large humanoid beasts, standing at varying heights of 7ft to 9ft. Each radiating colorful auras of the spells, the power, and momentum they all gave of was equal to the chief in his own transformation.

Ullo spoke once more, “I will say this again, I have no quarrel with you. All I want is that female Esu in human form’s header. Perhaps even save this village from destruction.”

He had a feeling that if this woman was left alone she bring death upon these innocent people. But also knew that he wouldn’t be merciful to anyone that stood in his way!

The looks of the beastly eyes of the 9 beasts were full of contempt and hatred as if they had been insulted, there were 5 elders and 4 protectors.

“Enough nonsense fiend! You will have to get through us first to even think of laying a hand on anyone else today!” Roared an elder who charged at him wildly!

He had transformed into a sort of half-man half-bull type of beast, with large curved and sharp horns, this beast was a mid-level Fierce beast known as the Gombe, however, out there it was not bipedal.

It was also known for its very short temper and always full of rage, it seems like the elder had inherited that too.

“So be it!” He sighed and rushed towards the elder who was followed by the rest.

He suddenly reached the bull beast elder and closed in on his chest after dodging a heavy punch aimed for his head and struck him there with a punch, sending him flying.

Only for the elder roll away with another, that tried to rescue him, yet the force of the blow was too strong that they both flew together!

Roar!

This didn’t deter anyone of them as they just charged at him with blind rage, Ullo had to dodge a ferocious bite from a wolf-type beast elder that aimed for his arm, only for Ullo to strike his arm with his sword that went clean through.

Ullo didn’t stop to see his work as he moved to sidestep a powerful paw that crushed the ground next to him, to which he responded by slashing his attacker across his belly sending the bear beast from elder screaming and flying.

He then had to leap up as a swift attack came at his legs as a strange beast type elder almost removed them, the elder was like a lizard but had sharp long bone blades that came out of his forearms and curved to his back and they almost touched his neck if his arms were on his sides.

Ullo while mid-air sends a s***h downwards at this elder, who lifted both bone blades to block the blow, but only to have them shattered and his arms cut off, he was lucky that the spells were working and the s***h sent him flying and not have him in two halves.

The rest of the elders and protectors leaped forward and tried to overpower Ullo, yet he moved with such grace and skill that it made it seem like he was playing with them as he sent blood and limbs flying.

Everyone’s faces got blanched at this, just as they were about to lose hope the chief got up as his wives had been silently casting healing spells on him as well the rest of the boosts.

Ullo suddenly felt a danger as he was about to cut an elder's leg, so he leaped away fast!

Boom!

A powerful blast crashed at his previous position, revealing a large smoking crater.

Turning around he noticed the chief was finally up, breathing a little heavily before he regained his breath. Wasting no time, he leaped towards Ullo with a mighty roar!

This time with even more ferocity as he got boosts from his wives, now that he finally had backup was even angrier due to the shame of his earlier defeat that would have led to his death and the ruin of his home, this time he was going to go all out, which was the result of that earlier blast, it was one of the innate abilities the Inoki had which he had inherited.

Ullo now felt pressure as the chief joined in the fight, he was not only buffed as well, but the elders that had been defeated before seemed to be recovering thanks to the women, that and some were even able to reattach their limps thanks to them.

Suddenly it was like fighting two chiefs!

Each time he wanted to cut off an arm or leg from the elders or protectors, the chief and the rest were there, and the moment he turned to the chief they would intervene with their innate abilities that were strange and unpredictable that he couldn’t risk it.

He even pushed the skill that he used against the chief earlier, but these people have always lived together and even if they mostly stayed in the village while he was out there fighting and training against beasts, they all knew each other well and hunted together for many years against great and dangerous prey!

Soon enough Ullo began to gain injuries, that got more and more serious with each passing time and that feeling of danger got higher and higher than the hair on Ullo’s neck stood straight up at the feeling of death as he dodged a swipe aimed for his head!

After that, he had to block the chief’s blast as well as three other blows and the occasional fireball and other spells of the women that had gotten into the rhythm of the fight.

They were overwhelming him, the tides had turned and he was reaching the limits of his strength, this couldn’t carry on. Else they would kill him today and here!

The crowd of the spectating villagers was going wild as they chanted the names of their elders and chief, even praising the women that cast their magic spells! They were the spiritual type of boost to Ullo’s opponents, and he was but a mere boy, all against an entire village tribe.

Bam!

With a powerful mental command, a fierce and powerful aura blew out from Ullo and threw everyone away, even the people in the distance got shook greatly.

Once they stood up in horror they looked at the youth whose skin was now grey, his eyes looked like they were pools of blood and his large body had shrunk, and seemed thinner than before.

With grit teeth full of hatred Ullo looked at the elders and chief that stood up once more looking at him full of vigilance as he was now even stronger!

‘I have nothing but a minute in this forbidden technique, else am doomed!’

With light speed, he reached the closed elder and removed his legs with a single swift strike!

Standing over him he turned towards the rest of the shocked opponents, without a word he wasted no time as he moved like a ghost and attacked them!
