16. Brotherhood
"Mufasa? I think I heard of that name before? Where was it?"
"There's no time for that! C'mon! Let's go!"
Hurriedly, they return back in the base which is of course their cabin.
Arriving on their base, the other three beastmen arrived just in time. They sat in the table with cold vibes. Pete and the others were sweating in fear seeing that Scar was dreadfully serious. On the other hand, Jin was utterly confused about what was happening.
"Pete, what's happening?"
Jin whispered Pete who was swallowing his nervous saliva.
"His twin brother Mufasa, had betrayed Gred's will. His will was to protect the 8 swords no matter what happens but Mufasa was blinded by greed and wanted the power of the 8 swords by himself. He stole Thorne, one of the 8 swords and is the most powerful among them that he tried to use to kill his own brother and is the reason why he has the scar on his left eye but Mufasa couldn't control the power of Thorne and was overwhelmed by it vanishing him to another dimension and that is why we're here to kill him before he could extract all the powers of Thorne and become a calamity itself."
Bam!
Scar slammed the table with his right fist and gritted his teeth in anger.
"That bastard couldn't keep the last will that his own father gave as a dying wish! I'm gonna kill him!"
The pent up anger inside Scar made the surroundings reverberate over and over. It cause Jin and the others lose their balance as they couldn't control the violent tremor.
"Scar! Calm down! I'm sure we can defeat them! Thanks to you, I had mastered the sword and maybe with my help, we can kill him"
"Oh yeah! Your class is good in stealth right?"
"Yeah?"
Eventually, the tremor disappears because instantly, Scar's mood returned to normal.
'This guy is so dense.'
Jin said to himself. Seeing that Scar changed his expression of a vengeful brother to a brightened man was utterly dense.
"Since I trained you! The payment will be you helping us!"
"Yeah, that's what I said."
Eventually, everything returned to normal and Scar began to form a plan.
••••••••••
"When we first fought Mufasa, we were still able to fight him hand on hand but what we didn't know is that he had recruited numerous monsters to serve that's why we had to retreat. That time, he had only able to extract 30% of Thorne's power."
"How does he extract a weapon's power? That sounds impossible right?"
"It is but with his special feat called Hunger that he had received after being born helps him devour a material's power and use that power for his own like for example: if he extracted a stone's compound, he could then use that compound for his own by turning parts of his body into stone."
"That's cheat as hell."
"Yeah, but the only downside is that he can only use the extracted power for 5 hours at most but I don't know how long he can control the power now. Might be 10 hours or more."
"If he cannot extract the full power of a material, does that mean he cannot use its power?"
"Correct but he can still a bit of its power."
"So what do we do now?"
"Here is the plan."
Scar placed a map of all of the savanna and marked the lair of Mufasa and his men. It was placed in the only forest part of the map and a cave was in the center of it.
"So he lives in a cave? Sounds edgy as fuck for a villain right?"
"Yep, not only that, I think the author is planning to make Mufasa look as badass as possible to rival him as a "Too hot to be hated" villain crappy shit like that."
"Yeah, your right."
(Note: Scar knows of my plan! /°0°\)
••••••••••••
They were to raid the place at dawn and this will help them sneak inside the place easier. Arriving at the forest, they hid on the bushes of the trees as they carry out their plan.
"Jin, don't forget about our plan."
"Yes, no Russians I meant sneak on the lair when you're in the middle of fighting him and steal Thorne."
"And don't forget, after stealing Thorne, run away as far as you can where he cannot find you."
"You'll not accomplish this right?"
"He was always the best at everything and I never win against him in any competition so I was always the loser. He was perfect that Master Gred praise him and planned to make him his successor but when he showed his true colors, that was the time I knew that I was the real winner. So when I die, please promise me to keep his will as my last wish."
"Scar..."
Jin wanted to cry that tears were about to flow out from his eyes.
"Stop that, a real man doesn't cry! Now go!"
Scar also wanted to cry but he refrained from doing so. In a blink of an eye, Jin dashed away to carry out the plan.
"Let's go, guys!"
"Yes!"
Simultaneously, they answered Scar's call and turned back into a lion. They stealthily pursuit up the monsters who were guarding the lair killing them one by one.
Slowly as they decrease their numbers, they casually entered the lair to meet Mufasa.
"I see you have managed to enter inside my lair without dripping sweat."
The man who spoke was nonother than Mufasa. He was sitting on a throne made of bones of different creatures he had killed. He had pale skin, a handsome face, his hair was pitch black that dropped down over his shoulder. His attire was a long black robe and its inner part was dyed in red and wore luxurious clothes which were all almost pitch black in color except for the robe. All in all, he looked like a vampire but no, he was just a handsome person who had only become pale due to not going outside for so long.
"Its good to see you, little brother."
He made a slight smile while standing up from his seat as he slowly walks towards the 5 of them.
"After you betrayed master, I had forgotten you as my brother and FYI, we were only 5 minutes apart!"
"Ah master, he was truly the best teacher and is also a father but sadly, his stupid. His selfish for only using his extraordinary talent for his own good! He doesn't give it for others nor he cares of them! From his name Gred, I can only distinguish it as "greed"! The only thing I wanted was for him to inherit his powers so I can use it to help others but what did he do? He had never done that because his afraid! Afraid of the people that he could easily trample on!"
"Return back your words!"
"What if I don't?"
"Then I will kill you!"
"Pft! I pity you brother, you have tried to defeat me countless of times yet have you ever achieve victory? You have never!"
Dash!
Immediately the fight between the brothers has begun.
••••••••••
At the moment, Jin arrived at the hidden entrance where the treasures of Mufasa was placed. There were two werewolves armed with spears guarding the entrance of the place that had levels of 45 and their HP were about 100,000 each.
'This is gonna harder than I thought.'
Jin sighed. Still, he put on a bit of smile knowing that this would show how much he had improved from their training.
He casually walked towards the werewolves holding Dainsleif in his right hand. Immediately, the werewolves prepared their spears to the unexpected intruder.
"Another intruder who wants to steal his highness's treasure? You're stating your own death sentence boy!"
"Kheekekehek! Come! Entertain us as we are unbearably bored!"
The werewolves attack simultaneously. They thrust their spear pointing towards Jin's chest.
Hooot!
Thinking that the spear had pierced down the intruder's chest. The man had suddenly disappear.
"Where?"
Swing!
Jin appeared instantly at the left side of one of the werewolf slashing his abdomen causing blood to spray.
-4,500!
"Kayak! How did you?"
Before they could defend themselves from the instant attack. Jin again disappear and reappear on the right side of the other werewolf slashing his abdomen.
-4,500!
'I am trying to finish this without using any skills but it seems I'm gonna be wasting too much time.'
Jin said to himself while dashing back for a few meters.
"Hey, you bastard! You looking down on us!"
"Yeah, he is! Look! He's not even looking at us."
"Let's do that!"
"What do you mean?"
"That attack!"
Seeing that the intruder was a dazed, they would try to hit their special attack.
"[Bull Thrust]!"
The werewolves stand side by side and stack their spears into one. They thrust the spear simultaneously and wind began to coil and spin on the edge of the blade as it tries to drill on the air.
Choooov!
When the powerful attack was about to make a heavy impact, the only thing that was hit was an after image of Jin as he again disappear into nothingness, the attack had destroyed a few trees and the ground was cracked open.
"[Ambush],[Thunder Clap],[Viral infection]"
Wwuoong! Tudududug! Glllooug!
Jin disappeared after thunder struck him. Dainsleif was also coated by a green goo as the increase in the poison effect of the skill triggers.
"What the? Did he die?"
"He was struck by lightning just now, he must've died."
"Puahaha! The god of thunder must have hate him!"
Thinking they have won by the intruder's misfortune, goosebumps began to cover them and their furs stood up.
"D-don't tell me?"
Simultaneously as they said, a voice of a young man could be heard reverberating from their behind giving them chills down their spine.
"Behind you."
Jin placed Dainsleif to both of their necks and slid their throat causing blood to spray down on the ground.
-73,500!
-73,500!
-6,000*
-1,400¤
.

.
They're health instantly depleted down below 30%. As they try to put pressure down their throats to lessen the spray of blood and pain, the poison stung their veins and black flames covered their body as they burned relentlessly.
"Uukkkk..."
"Khuukkk!"
They try to scream in pain but with a sliced throat, they couldn't. Their armor begins to melt and their fur and skin had been entirely burnt leaving only muscle tissues drying due to the harsh hear. Their armors had completely turned into molten iron that covered their body thus adding more unbearable pain that made them even want to scream more and wanted to die from this suffering.
"K-kill...me....p-please!"
One of them managed to speak a few words of mercy but Jin just stared at them as they suffer from this horrible pain.
"People like you deserve death."
"Guoogh!"
Hearing that Jin didn't show any pity on them, they puked out a mouthful of blood accompanied by some of their organs. The acidity of the poison caused their stomach to burst out and their intestines scatter on the ground.
+1,000,000,000 XP
+1,000,000,000 XP
You have level up!
Both of them died at the same time and the black flames had completely disperse itself. This result gave him a level and seeing his satisfaction, he entered the treasury leaving back the mashed up corpse behind.
