Tyrant

The light element dissipated the shadows long enough for Rahz to be forced out abruptly.

Rahz wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and look up at the small Clefthoof that was now hovering in the air looking at him with eyes half open while eating some freshly grown gra.s.s from the valley. It was the first time in a while that Rahz had taken a lost and his wife was waiting for him at home impatiently for her meal so he said, "I guess you will do…"

Rahz activated Chaos Burst x 8 and Blade Extension encasing his knife in energy and increasing his Size dramatically.

Woosh!

Rahz launched himself of the ground towards the small beast and the force contained in the swing made the wind howled, however, the expression on the face of the Small Clefthoof didn"t change at all and before the knife reach within 5 ft from the beast a Light screen appeared out of thin air like a shield and received the impact.

BOOM!

The impact reverberated through the valley and the shockwave injured many of the herd members, the light shield managed to absorbed 60% of the attack and returned 30% of the damage to Rahz as light blades that created multiple cuts in Rahz legs and arms but that didn"t stop him.

The Small Beast finally opened his eyes completely in shock and used his horns to received what was left of Rahz"s slashed.

Ching!

Rahz felt like he was. .h.i.tting an immovable mountain and then flew backwards about 10ft and landed on the ground bleeding from the cuts he had received. The smallest wounds started to heal pretty quickly while the bigger ones had the bleeding stop.

A low Bellow came from the Small Clefthoof and smoke started coming out of his nostrils as he observed the tiny scratch on his majestic horn.

Grunt!

The Clefthoof started to prepared to stampede by lifting his leg and kicking the air like a porsche Spyder about to peel out and go from 0 to 60 in 2.2 seconds.

Thump … Thump… Thump

The Small Clefthoof started to stampede and when he reach the ground the whole herd of Clefthoof followed making the ground shake.

Rahz" saw what was coming his way and didn"t have much time to think so he took out Apocalypse and got ready to use the Skill he stole from the Sword of Justice, Sun Cleave.

The Moment Apocalypse materialized, the Small Clefthoof felt fear for the first time since he was born. The Small Clefthoof could feel the shadow of death looming over him when all of the sudden the area stagnated and a voice rang through the mountain.

"Stop!"

The voice started from afar but the person moving his lips was now on top of the small clefthoof that was 7 ft tall but look tiny standing besides the 12 feet clefthoof adults. The voice arrived with and stagnated the area which stop the stampede in its tracks. Everything happened in a moment"s notice but it was done in such a way that none of the clefthoof in the back ram into the ones in the front, it felt like time slowed down to a crawl and after the stagnation was removed they just stood in place.

"Amitabha! I Beg your pardon on behalf of my Xiao Niu, he has a short temper"

"Why are you apologizing for, he was the one trying to eat my cousin"

Rahz stood in place trying to gauge the situation and then to make matters even more strange the spirit of Apocalypse that looked like a kid manifested himself while a very old spirit in a tibetan monk costume that exuded a very calm demeanor did the same.

"Greetings, Child of Destruction"

"Not bad old man, I didn"t think that the Pearls of Enlightenment also found a chosen and a celestial beast to boot"

"Chosen of destruction, in this lands we respect all Elysian creatures so we don"t kill for sustenance. I hope that you can enjoy this side of the realm without the need to murder this precious animals"

Rahz thought about it and immediately sneered, "Apocalypse told me I need to kill high level beast to improve my level and save the Realm so what am I to do now?"

"Amitabha will guide us, although what the child of destruction said is not wrong there are other ways and if you promise to adhere to our rules we will treat you as a guess and show you a different way to harness the Energy of the Realm to become its champion" said the old spirit.

Rahz nodded to the man and proceeded to introduce himself, "My name is Rahz of Helgahvall and I am traveling with my friends towards the Temple of the Rising Sun to meet the Realm Chosen and to provide a comfortable environment for my pregnant wife to deliver our child"

"I guess you accomplished one of them and let me just tell you first and foremost that even though I am a monk I am not a virgin, no sir. This guy right here is also not a virgin am I right Xiao Niu"

"d.a.m.n Right! I am the alpha of this herd and you know what that means….I am making babies 24/7"

The monk b.u.mp fist to horn while the old spirit, facepalm his face.

"You can call me Bato"

"Nice to meet you Bato, my wife and the others are pa.s.sed that clift and I am pretty sure that your brother would love to meet you Xiao Niu"

Rahz put away Apocalypse and started leading the way but Xiao Niu Expanded in size for Rahz to get on. Xiao Niu was very similar to Xiao Bai but they both specialize in two different aspects of combat, one was offence and the other was defense. Xiao Niu had three main attributes Light, Wind and Earth in complete contrast to the white tiger.

Flying really was the fastest way to travel and they arrived at the camp extremely fast, Elune was waiting with an angry face on but the moment she saw they had visitors her att.i.tude did a 180 and a bright smile adorned her face.

Xiao Bai immediately lifted his head and could feel the energy of another celestial beast approached him and he almost hurt his back standing up and heading into the air. Rahz and the others were his family but Xiao Niu came from the same womb in a manner of speaking so it was his flesh and blood brother.

Rahz was expecting to be hit in the chest by his lovely wife for not bringing the meat but she seem oblivious to her request a few minutes before and was just waiting for and introduction.

"Guys! Guess who I brought over"

"Arid Clefthoof" said Ridd.i.c.k salivating.

"Eh... no! It is the chosen of the Temple of the Rising Sun and they told me that we can"t kill the creatures in this area and as a form of respect I told them that we wouldn"t" said Rahz while stealing glances at Elune that didn"t fail to get the hint.

The monk jumped down from Xiao Niu and proceeded to make a very monk like vow to everybody as a form of greeting.

"Greetings, I am Bato young Apprentice of the Temple of the Rising Sun and like Rahz a chosen of the realm".

The rest of the team introduced themselves while Bai and Niu conversed with each other about their experiences and about how to reunited with their sisters. Although the monk didn"t eat meat anymore he still enjoyed a nice plate of fruit and fidget none stop when he saw all the males in the group drinking ale merrily to the side.

The moment he returned to the temple and got the life of debauchery out of his system, he took a vow to change his ways and become and exemplary monk. It was extremely easy to steer clear inside the temple since n.o.body else was drinking, eating meat or having s.e.x for that matter but now that he smell the fish on the grill and the smell of booze, he was about to have a nervous breakdown.

"So brother Bato! Where is this temple of yours we have being walking for a long time and we don"t seemed to get closer" said Jazz.

Bato sighed and pointed to the sky, "Above the clouds"
