Chapter 48: Meeting the leader

Looking at the guards scattered and badly beaten all around him, Bright stood with his hands folded.

" Yeah I thought they would give me tough time, but it was relatively easy. Except that their regenerative ability is top notch." Bright muttered.

' I wonder when he would be done.' he said while looking at Lucin who sat crossed legged while regaining his lost energy.

" So which one of you is ready to inform your leader that we seek his presence??" He asked the scattered and badly beaten guards

No response

" Hmm, do I have to use one as a scapegoat. Didn't expect it to result to this." He muttered

As he was about to move to the nearest guard, he sensed multiple energies being led by a strong energy rushing towards him, he sensed that the air around is being forcefully pushed.

The strong energy detached itself from the others and rushed towards him.

His ear perked and he sensed some weird vibrations through the air, Bright immediately jumped from his position to another. A loud bang resounded ad something landed heavily on his previous position.

The ground shook slightly and ripples was sent around.

"What the...." As he was about to curse, his hairs stood.

He rolled away from where he stood while avoiding an head sized fist.

Dust covered everywhere as the fist hit the ground and also shook it.

" You're fast, but that's not enough, you can't keep running around forever." A voice sounded from the cloud of dust.

When the dust cleared, a Gohu larger and wider than the others around stood where bright previously stood. His skin looks like an hardened mud or better still rock.

" I'm not running, I'm just wary of the person attacking me out of the blue, without me doing anything wrong." Bright said

" Oh you did nothing wrong right??" The large figure said while looking around at the members of his clan been beaten badly.

Bright just smiled.

" You did this alone?? You won't get away with this" the large figure said and bent his knee, ready to fight.

" Wait!!!" Bright shouted.

" Look at this on a bright side, I could have just simply kill then if I wanted to, but see I didn't. I just incapacitated them so they won't disturb."

" You incapacitated them to this extent??" The large figure said

" Hey calm down, you people have good regenerative ability, they will be up between few hours." Bright smiled

" You are suppose to be in your cellars, what are you doing out here??" The large figure asked his body relaxed a bit, but it is obvious that he's ready to fight any second.

" I simply seek the audience of your leader, that's all." Bright said

" What for?? And who told you you can just see our leader just cause you ask for it??" The large figure asked

" There are lots of reasons why I want to see him, him being sick is one of the reasons." Bright answered

" And how is that your business??" The figure inquired

" I don't know, if peradventure you can bring us to him, I might be able to heal him after checking him up." Bright said

Hahahah

" Even our great healer couldn't do anything to heal him, what made you think you can??" The figure asked sarcastically.

" I didn't say I can, I simply said I might be able to. Moreover you can't know if you don't give it a try." Bright said

" I'm inclined to do that, but how am I sure you aren't here to kill him" the figure said

" No we aren't, you can keep a close eye on us." Bright said

" You keep saying us, we. Aren't you the only one or is there someone else??" The figure wondered while looking around until he sighted Lucin who sat crossed legged and oblivious of what's going on around him.

His senses only picks up vibrations caused by the impact generated from clashes, his whole focus is on filling his oval with energy to the brim .

" I see he's now your accomplice. His he coming along or he's staying back.??"

Bright turned to Lucin who seems to be done with what he was doing.

" Are you coming along or you want to stay back??" He asked

" I f I was going to stay back, I wouldn't be out here with you. Yes we are on this together." Lucin smiled from ear to ear.

' it's been long I have this filling of being powerful again, my centers of power are all filled and rejuvenated.' he thought and his smile increased

' why his he smiling, what's making him happy??' the large figure thought before saying.

" Let's head out."

Bright and Lucin looked up at the shadows casted over them since and what came into view was 20 Gohu's riding on 20 wyverns, leaving a single wyvern without a rider.

The wyvern without a rider descended, it was the largest among the others, the large figure mount it and off he was into the distance.

" How are we meant to get there??" Lucin asked

" You will ride with us" two wyverns with riders descended and Bright and Lucin mounted and they were off into the distance after the large figure .

.................................

"Just walk cautiously. Any suspicious movement and you're a goner." The Large figure said

"You know, you ain't helping the situation with those threats, why not be friendly old man??" Bright joked

" You can't blame him, he looks like someone who has been ditched by numerous ladies, before finally settling down with someone who's managing him. Your handsomeness is making him uncomfortable." Lucin said

" I'm right here you know, any more mocking words from you guys and I'll have you thrown out of this place." The large figure said while baring an huge frown on his face.

" Here he goes, ruining the mood again." Lucin said with a depressed tone.

" Easy there old man, we are just messing around, no hard feelings. Don't take things personal??" Bright said with a light laugh.

The man ignored him and continue leading the way till they got to a grand room, where fifty guards on both sides are stationed. While heavily guarded guards are stationed at the center of the room, where an human seized bed laid.

" Here we are, that is our leader, go on with what you came here to do. I'll be on a close watch." The large figure said with a deep tone and beckoned Bright and Lucin to go forward.

Bright went forward and studied the human like being on the bed(Gohu).

" I need him to sit" he said.

" Can't you see he can't sit on his own??" A man that covered himself with white garment said .

" I know right. You should know you're meant to help I'm lifting him up, I can't possibly do that and at the same time check him up." Bright said.

The man wanted to argue but was interrupted by the large figure .

" You had better find a good solution to this, else you'll pay for stressing out leader." He said and told beckoned two guards to make the leader sit up.

Bright then jumped on the bed which jolted the other guards around to draw their weapons.

" Will you guys calm down for a sec, your overprotective attitude will get your leader killed. I am not a fool to try to do something stupid...at least not now." Bright said with a smile.

He raised his hands in the air waiting for the guards to relax before proceeding with what he was doing. Bright placed his right hand on the back of the leader and made his energy flow into the leader while closing his eyes to feel his internals.

' His centres of powers are damaged and in a weak state, its going through an healing state. All he needs is just a good supply of energy to make him whole again. This people seriously don't know how to channel energies into their centres of power.' Bright thought while infusing his energy into the leader, whose body directly sucked in the energy and an healing process kicked in.

No one understood the reason behind Bright's hand on the leader's back and the reason why he shot is eyes, no one aside Lucin who knows what was going on. He could feel the constant flow of energy going from Bright and into the leader's body.

The man with the garment was getting impatient and was about to stop Bright, but suddenly the leader spat out blood and opened his eyes wide, before squinting it in pain.

The guards immediately moved, thinking he was hurting their leader, but they were being pushed back by an invisible force. The larger figure tried moving and felt the push, but it wasn't forceful. He decided break through it when a hand took hold of his tightly which prompted him to look back with a frown

Lucin shook his head and stared at Bright before looking back at the large man and nodded hid head. The man looked confused at first but later relaxed since he couldn't since anything wrong, he decided to be patient while freeing his hand from Lucin's grip.

Bright decided to increase the flow of energy, he removed his hand, pointed his finger and traced the spine of the leader before slamming his palm on the leader's back, a rush of energy and ATP flowed through every cells of the leader.

" Follow the rhythm and pattern in which the energy flows through you, take control." Bright muttered to the hearing of the leader who did as he was told.

His centres of power drew energy directly from the outside world which accelerated the healing process, coupled with the special healings trait of the Gohus. The leader's centres of power became active and alive again.

Energy flowed into his centres of power at a steady pace, when filed the flow stopped and he passed out while being held by bright, who placed him gently on the bed before standing to his feet.

Bright dusted his cloth and moved to the entrance of the room, he halted and said

" He will be up in few minutes or an hour, so let him rest. As for the siege against you, take away the food source of a lion and watch how weak it becomes, then strike it at full force without holding back least it fights back desperately. You can all well block it's access to water or instead send a prey(death prey) to it's den and infect it with a deadly disease." He stopped and studied their looks

" Finally strike it at nightfall while it is asleep." He concluded before opening the door, he paused again.

" I'll await my release in the next seven days, mind you. Once the seven days deadline elapses and you refuse to set me free and give me access to leave this place. I'll go rogue." He added while releasing a dense killing intent that sent shivers to those around.

He walked out of the room while awaiting the guards that are meant to lead him peacefully to the dungeons. When he got to the dungeon, he slowly walked into the cell on his own and immediately went into a meditative state.
