SWOOSH!A calming wind blew in the air causing the snow to drift on the ground sprinkling it over the red h.e.l.lscape that was left on the forest floor.
"Ugh!" Eira clutched her stomach in pain as she woke up from her unconscious state.
Her eyes opened to look at the old man who had his throat slit, groaning in pain.
"Grandpa Gian" she tried to slide her body towards him, grabbing hold of his arm she felt the old man"s pulse.
"Phew! What happened did elder sister come in time." Eira took a sigh of relief finding that the old man was still breathing. And doing so her eyes turned to look at the top of a tree where Karib was tied onto both of his arms missing from his body.
The Tree trunk devoid of all its branches and leaves appeared like a large pillar.
"What is elder sister trying to do, it seems we can"t kill Karib after all." Eira knew why her elder sister had spared his life; Probably because he was one of the only five people in the sect selected by the sect guardian to inherit the mantle as its sacred guardian.
"Killing him would be the same as insulting her majesty, But he too tried to kill me shouldn"t he be punished."
"Sister!" Eira called out sure that her sister would respond.
Eira not hearing any reply for a while tried to make it to her feet.
"Owww, it still hurts," Eira groaned before she stood up. And as she turned her head all the hairs on her body stood up as extreme fear gripped her heart.
"Oh, you are awake little girl, just in time for a show." Yali finished his words following a deafening cry.
SCREECH!
"I would move if I were you, and take that old man with you," Yali said to the girl as he jumped in the air and propelled himself towards the sky.
"A little help, Rishi," Yali said as he jumped.
A pair of ethereal wings with black scales materialized behind him as he flew high into the sky,
A ma.s.sive grey colored eagle descended towards from the sky diving with its nose facing the tree trunk where the disarmed Karib was strapped on.
"It looks like the prey took the bait," Yali said as he dived down catching up to the tail of the eagle who was still unaware of him.
Eira who was still gripped in fear from seeing the half-lion with the white lion face and the red fiery mane was awoken from her stupor from the cry of the eagle, she quickly grabbed Elder Gian and ran into the forest.
Karib woke up seeing a ma.s.sive eagle claw heading his way,
"Ahh!..." Karib yelled as he was yanked out from the tree trunk but before he could make sense of the situation he was falling from the sky to the ground.
BANG!
The pained cry of the eagle sounded in the forest, as the eagle stumbled to make it to its feet, one of its wings was ripped apart from its body.
Feeling a foreboding of danger the eagle raised its claw to defend against an attack towards its neck.
Angry at its current fate the eagle whooshed his other wing producing a whirlwind that blew the still immobile Karib along with the b.l.o.o.d.y snow into the air.
"HA HA HA, it"s over for you, bird." Yali laughed as he jumped off the tree to once again attack the neck of the eagle who could only defend on the ground.
The eagle cried continuously trying to fend off the attacks from the Heavenly Nether Lion who switched into a complete lion and half-lion form on will, causing eagle to miss its attacks.
Yali held the eagle from behind as he delivered a suplex breaking many bones in its body.
AWOo!
"The party"s just getting started." Yali laughed as he charged at the incoming fox almost the same size as him.
BAM!
Both of them were thrown off their feet after a collision.
The wolf rushed back at him before Yali made it back to his feet,
"Come!" Yali roared as he grabbed the snout of the wolf who had almost bitten his neck.
"AWOOO!" the wolf cried out in pain as Yali rained punched on its body grabbing its snout with one arm while punching with the other.
SCREECH!
The eagle produced another whirlwind attacking them both causing the wolf to escape from Yali"s grab.
"What"s the hurry birdie you will get your turn soon." Yali roared as he charged back at the Wolf.
The wolf once again charged straight at Yali only for this time to be caught by its jaw.
Yali roared as he used both of his arms to rip the wolf in two, by splitting its jaws with his hands and all the way to its abdomen. The half ripped body of the b.l.o.o.d.y wolf increased the bloodiness of the whole area.
The b.l.o.o.d.y smell wafted in the air as more and more sounds started advancing towards the clearing where Yali and the one-winged eagle were present.
