"Blane hates bodily fluids and stuff on him and Damon is scared of arachnid and spider types beasts. Does anyone else have any petpeaves they hate." Kimbo said walking up last laughing.
"Hey I'm not afraid of those things. I just don't like them. They give me the creeps. If I could kill every beast that has those type of features. I would do it in a heartbeat."
Everyone chuckled again. Vora walked over to the dead worm. It's rocky layered skin was no more as it all looked to be flesh.
She struck it pushing her hands through it after turning them into wolf claws and yanked out a grey and brown colored stone placing it in front of everyone.
"So, we all did good work taking the beast down but who deserves the crystal."
Glee pointed at blane and so did garren while the rest pointed at Damon because of his efforts, blanes attack was a success along with their added power.
"I think kimbo should take it. It was his instructions and knowledge of how to take down the beast that truly granted us the opportunity." Damon said.
Everyone thought about it for a second and it didn't take them long to agree.
"Yea, he's right. Without knowing the head was it's weakness I think it would have been much tougher to get the job done. " Blane said.
The crystal was given to kimbo and now all they had to do was take out a certain organ from the beast in which kimbo handled because he knew which organ was needed.
The organ came from its stomach area. It was the size of five gallon bucket in the shape of a oval and soon as kimbo cut it from the body it turned into rock.
Kimbo explained the particular organ is what's used to degrade and destroy rock and stone after handing it to vora as she stored it in her space.
Damon shared with them that he knew a way out that wouldn't take long. He just hoped the snake beast wouldn't show itself.
He doubted it would since it didn't want to be seen. He briefly thought about his encounter with the twin headed snake thinking of its words and whatever it did to him recalling the system notification of him being haunted.
After reaching the area where he came in contact with the shadow king snake which wasn't far, glee made a spiraling wind under them that gradually raised them up and out onto the top of the rocky hill.
Damon didn't use his cloud because he was incredibly low on energy and plus he wanted to wait until he could practice more before revealing it.
"Whew, that took a lot out of me." Glee mumbled to himself after getting everyone to the top.
He had to concentrate a good bit while bringing everyone up over a few hundred meters. Damon had to activate recovery mist as it was taking a lot of glee energy to get them up but now Damon only had 15/500 ki left.
Seer helped as well with her power under glee's.
His ki had been restored completely after reaching level thirty and his base power level went up from 1483 to 1593 while in his demonic form his power level would double to 3186. Damon thought about this as they made their way down the rocky hill.
He also saw vora's power level in her beast form while down there and to say the least it was a little disheartening as he briefly compared his to hers.
For that brief time Damon thought about the free for all tournament.
"From the very beginning. No one had a chance against her." Is all that came to his mind as he glanced at vora.
He was the only there knowing that vora could have probably single handedly taken out the needle worm. "Why, why act like it was difficult or the beast defense was too tough for even her."
" Was she testing us or something. Is she the type of person to take pitty on those weaker and act as if she's on our level."He asked himself.
" No, the last one is definitely not it. It must have been a test. In her beast form her power level was a little over 6800 and if I remember correctly the worm power level was 7780. Was it truly the worms defensive ability or was she holding back."
"It had to be a test or something." He continued to ponder.
"Don't overthink yourself. 7780 and 6800 isn't a huge gap, and remember power levels can be subjective if the gap isn't too wide." A familiar voice spoke.
"Shield, now you wanna speak after this whole time." Damon asked.
"I was doing a lot of thinking. That is all. I allowed you to be you without interference and I will continue to be quiet. I will be watching. "
Damon tried to make shield speak again but it was dead silence in his head.
" I'm sorry for letting Javalin get hurt. I promise I won't ever let that happen again shield." He said trying one more time to get a response from shield but their was nothing.
The sun had begun to set and they were now a little ways down the hill. From a distance they could see two figures making fast movements.
Getting closer it was hart and valor of the rock village. The two people who were tasked with guiding them to the rocky hill. They were having a little sparring match.
It ended as they saw eight individuals coming their way.
" It's good to see you all have returned. Did it go well." Hart asked. Vora didn't explain much at all and instead showed him the mission was a success.
She handed over the beast organ to them and they left right away heading back to rock village.
Valor contacted his father Cane as they were on their way back. He had been keeping up with his brothers condition as the mission was about saving him while keeping the sickness contained.
It wasn't long before they arrived as they all raced back to the city. Entering through rock walls over 30 meters high that wasn't there before.
Hart explained when the sun sets their city becomes more fortified and this included the walls that weren't there in the daytime.
The city was much alive as they walked through. Many people came up to them thanking them and bowing down in a manner of respect.
"You guys are great, thank you for helping our people. We are very grateful." A young boy said bowing to them while they walked through.
"It's our way of appreciation. We share all news with our people especially something that can affect us as a whole like our situation now. Cane informed our people of your success the minute I contacted him. " Hart said.
Entering in the same building structure with the engraved images in the walls. Sitting down in the same chairs as before this time Cane, Hart and valor were the only ones present but soon A large man with long thick white facial hair walked in wearing an apron.
He was bigger than hart,Cane and valor. His physique was bulky and the aura around him was hard and none moving. It stayed in place unlike most people's aura.
Damon was the first to notice how the man's aura was and then vora. The others could see it as well. They all could see anyone's aura if they concentrated enough.
His white short dreadlocks looked like spikes and twists. As he wore all white light fabric pants with flipflops that looked like some type of steel. They were very thick and looked to be very heavy.
"Is this your son." Asked vora. Cane laughed a little.
"This old man, no he's my father. The 5th chief of our people. I am the 6th and current chief. He will be the one making the antidote for my son which is his grandchild of course." Cane said while handing over the organ to his father.
"He's blind." Damon thought seeing the man's eyes. Everyone else saw it too as they were grey and void of color. With the way he moved you couldn't tell he was blind.
Cane's father left seconds after the organ was handed to him. Cane then snapped his fingers and the long table they were sitting at began to move sinking into the floor and molded into another as it rised.
One that glossed with the color blue and yellow. He snapped his fingers once more and six women walking in a straight line holding trays of food came inside placing tray after tray on the table.
Many different smells captured their nose as every dish looked fantastic.
"Please eat to your fill and rest here for tonight. You may explore our city and partake into any of our games."
" Valor will show you all to your rooms when you're done. After that feel free to explore and do not hesitate to ask for anything if needed. You all have done a great favor for my people. " Cane said
He soon got up and left the room.
