Braxrad Ranter advanced towards me at a steady pace, slowly dragging his War Hammer. He gave the brightest smile, even the light star would pale in comparison to his smile. I knew I had one chance of getting closer to him and even slimmer chance of forcing him into a hand to hand combat. I pushed whatever negative thoughts that crept into my mind and thought of only one thing. I have to do it... it’s the only way I can see right now.

Braxrad Ranter spoke to me while walking towards me.

Braxrad Ranter: “You are a surprise delight, you know. All these years, I killed many of your brother and I found no one able to stand this long against me... much less my hammer.”

I replied to him as I move closer to him.

Me: “Yes, I know that. I get to hear that a lot, but you will pay for all those innocent lives... this much is guaranteed.”

Braxrad Ranter: “Why do you spit so much nonsense?”

Me: “Why do you think it's nonsense?”

Braxrad Ranter: “You will soon know that answer.”

I dodged to my left and his War Hammer came crashing down. The ground shook and small debris flew past me. I saw an opening and lunged towards him and delivered a hook on his face with my left hand. Within seconds of landing my hit and struck him again with a jab with my right this time. In a flash, I took a knee on my stomach at the same time I pulled the jab. I made some distance between us to think.

He was still smiling and started to lift his weapon. I charged again and landed a kick on his chest, which made him back away from his weapon. His hammer dropped on the ground with a large thud. He controlled himself and still gave that smile.

Braxrad Ranter: “Oh... you are a rare one. I can’t wait... to split your head open.”

Me: “Then what are you waiting for. I am right here my over sized friend.”

Braxrad Ranter gave a large laugh.

“HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA... OHHH!! WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!!!”

He charged towards me and he was fast... too fast to block his first punch. It went straight for my left ribs. The moment the punch hit me, I heard the sound of some of my bones breaking. Pain erupted, numbing my whole body, but I could not waste this chance. So, the moment, I got hit... I landed an uppercut on his chin. I felt the power behind it was low and it did no damage other than make him back up a few feet.

He covered and launched a kick towards me, aiming for my chest. I crossed both of my hands and put it front of my chest. His leg my crossed hands and OI tried to block his kick. The power behind the kick was immense, but somehow I manage to weather. I did not get a chance to attack this time. When his kick did not work, he quickly switched to punches and gave out punch after punch towards me. I had to defend myself from all attacks. Each punch was faster and stronger than the last one.

One broke through and went straight for my nose. I ducked just in time for the punch grazed over my head, but I stepped closer and gave him a jab then followed by a hook on his midsection. Seeing that he was unprepared, so continued with a combination attack. Left hook, right jab again in mid section, followed by straight jabs on his face and went for an uppercut to finish the combination. Received a jab on my stomach instead.

He grabbed my shoulders and flung me towards a burned down house. In a flash, I crash inside... only felt the pain which started when I hit a brick wall and landed on the wooden floor. I gingerly got up and found him still smiling at me. When did he get this close? I received a knee on my ribs which made me bend forwards and another on my chin which made stagger back. After that, I received a kick in my chest, which sent me flying through the house into the dirt path outside. I was loosing against both power and experience.

Quickly I rolled over and got up on my legs and charged him. Aiming for his chin, I threw a right jab, followed by a left hook, then a knee to his mid section all of which he either blocked or dodged. This was very frustrating to say the least.

Then, I had to suffer his barrage of attacks which broke through my guard often. I was receiving severe punishment, but I still kept sneaking a punch or a two. He kept smiling as if nothing was fazing him and got me mad. I had to find a way to overpower him, but how? Thanks to my armour, the blows on my body were powered down considerably; even then it hurt very badly.

Braxrad Ranter: “Come on... I think you can do better than this! I mean... this is pathetic.”

I pushed forward and continued to use combination punches and kicks. He dodged a couple of punches, but got hit on his left thigh with my kick. He winced a little and filled it up with another kick to his other thigh. Lastly, an uppercut to his chin which made him take quite a few steps back. Not wanting him to break my momentum, I kicked with as much force I could gather from the ground towards his chest. For the first time, he coughed up some blood... his smile disappeared.

Me: “Did I hurt you?”

Braxrad Ranter: “That... was just a tickle.”

His face clearly showed anger rising.

Me: “Tickled?

Then... why are you not smiling?”

Braxrad Ranter forced a smile, but it was not as same as the first one. It really bothered him... He charged towards me and I side stepped to my right. I watched his jab flew past me, but the pressure generated was very high. Forming a good momentum of my body, I planted a hook right under his left eye. Blood streamed down from the cut and I was satisfied or so I felt when a punch on my ribs made me fly away and land on some Dynoths. Damn him!

I opened my eyes after the fall and saw a few Dynoth lying on the ground. They must have been knocked out by the collision. I saw faint movements so they must be alive. One of them was bleeding and it was close to my face. An idea struck within my mind. I licked some of the blood and closed my eyes.

I felt the power within the blood and felt its source... it was glowing. Within seconds, I willed it and absorbed all the remaining power from the source until it the was source was dark. I opened my eyes and saw Braxrad Ranter standing close to me. He kicked me again on my stomach and picked me up. As soon as I was in range, I gave a right jab to his already present wound. It opened up some more and blood flow increased and I followed it up by a knee on his chest. Before backing down, he threw me again towards an unsuspecting Dynoth. I crashed into it, head first. The power with which he threw me was immense... so much so that the Dynoth upon impact flew back and crashed against a stone wall.

AMOUNT OF ENERGY:- 200 LF

ENERGY HAS BEEN ABSORBED AND STORED INSIDE KING’S CRYSTAL.

DO YOU WANT TO USE IT?

I thought for a second and decided against it. To counter his power, I need to drain more energy. The Dynoth which had earlier crashed into the wall was still barely alive. I turned towards Braxrad and found him checking his wounds. His face showed signs of surprise. I get back to my feet and crack a smile.

Me: “You look surprised. Is there any particular reason?”

Braxrad Ranter: “There is, actually.”

He starts making his way towards me.

Braxrad Ranter: “I can’t seem to scratch a very persistent itch.”

Me: “Really... I think you need to go see a medic. It might turn into a rash.”

Braxrad Ranter: “No... I’m sure I’ll scratch it eventually. I mean, it’s just an itch. How hard can it be?”

Me: “By the look on your face, I think you are struggling to even locate that particular itch, my large friend.”

Braxrad Ranter: “That... may be true or may be not.

We will know some time later... won’t we?”

Me: “Sure...”

With his right hand, he attempted to give a hook which I dodged to my left. He quickly followed it up by a left hook which I dodged to my right and hit him with a right jab of mine straight to his rib cage. I would have liked more power behind the jab, but until I could gather more energy... I had to prolong the fight.

Immediately, he gave a right jab to my face. It had a great power behind it and I had to will myself not to lose my footing or I’ll be against a combination. I countered right hand lead on his face of my own. It made him stop for a millisecond... enough for me to hit him again with a left hand jab and a right hand uppercut which pushed him back.

I gave him no time to think about anything and charged at him. A two right hooks with a couple of body jabs and just when he was about make his counter by a left underhook, I hit again with a right hand lead... inflicting a cut over his right eye. Time was of the essence and I continued on with punches and kicks on his thighs to stall his movement. He was getting slow and his punches felt lethargic until my chin met an uppercut of his own. Next thing I knew, I was flying over to some Dynoths near by. Damn! That hurt.

As opportunity knocked on my door, I quickly tasted some of the Dynoths blood and drained away their life force.

ENERGY STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION SKILL ACTIVATED.

AMOUNT OF ENERGY:- 600 LF

ENERGY HAS BEEN ABSORBED AND STORED INSIDE KING’S CRYSTAL.

DO YOU WANT TO USE IT?

No... Still not enough, I need more time.

I set my jaw back into its place. By this time... I was numb. My whole body had gone numb from all the beating I had taken so far. Even my regeneration skills seemed slow. They are not working fast enough. I got up and found a giant writhing in anger.

Me: “Did it break your brittle bones? All this talking and I thought you had real power in those arms.

Guess... I was wrong.

Those are merely pinching me.”

Braxrad Ranter: “I’ll SQUISH YOU!!!”

He charged towards me and shot out a right hook to my face. It was fast that ducking was not an option. I had only time to dodge back and his hook went past my nose. Then with his left he attacked, it had the intensity as his right. This time too, I had to dodge back and let the punch fly some inches away from my nose. Like this, I was able to dodge a couple of his punches until I landed a solid right hook on his jaw.

He staggered back a bit and seizing opportunity, I quickly gathered as much energy from the ground as I could and challenged them all into my right fist. Not wasting any time, I hit him with another right hook on his jaw. This time... to my great joy, I heard some serious cracking sound. He coughed out blood and some got to me as I was close to him. I... I felt relieved at that point. He quickly put his guard up and increased the distance between us.

Me: “What happened Braxrad? I though you were gong to squish me. Are you not going to follow through your threat?

Is this all it was? A poultry threat!

Where is your smile now... Braxrad?”

His gazed told me everything I wanted to know. He was now infuriated and the way he was behaving, it looked like he was finally getting to cut loose. Come on! I am ready for you.

I ordered King’s Crystal in my mind.

Me: “King’s Crystal... Distribute and Use stored energy.”

KING’S CRYSTAL:-

USING STORED ENERGY.

AMOUNT STORED:- 600 LF.

CALCULATING THE BEST WAY TO USE THEM....

CALCULATED.

DUE TO YOUR PREFERENCE OF FIGHTING WITH YOUR FISTS, STORED ENERGY HAS BEEN DIVIDED EQUALLY AND YOUR FIST HAS BEEN CHARGED.

ENERGY STORED IN EACH FIST:- 300LF

I felt the power surging through me and converge into my fists. I smell something burning... something like flesh burning. My fists felt like it was on fire...

Braxrad charged with anger, attacking first with a left hook and a jab from the right. I deflected both of them by putting a shell guard and when the chance came begging, I unleashed my new burning fists.

Keeping my right as a guard, I loosened three consecutive left jabs and then a right hook. I felt more power behind each of my punches and the impact made on him was immense. After the right hook, his cut just below his right eye grew larger and he seemed dazed. I continued with combinations of punches on his body... focusing on his mid ribs, which I think I broke some of it while I connected a left hook. I gave him a little space and he lunged forward thinking he could get me before I could do anything...

Wrong!

I gathered all the remaining energy into my right fist. I could see my flesh turning red, then black. I cared not and unleashed a huge uppercut which, when making contact with his chin... created such force that for the first time he was knocked few feet above the air before crashing down on the ground... unconscious.

Finally!

It was over.

As much as I wanted to lie down and rest for the whole day, I could not. I have to find some ropes to tie him up, but first... have to get rid of his controller. The question here is how would I find it? It could anywhere. Maybe... just maybe...

Me: “King’s Crystal... scan Braxrad and find his Controller.”

KING’S CRYSTAL:-

SCANNING...

The crystal started flickering and it continued for a while before it stopped.

KING’S CRYSTAL:-

CONTROLLER FOUND.

POINT THE KING’S CRYSTAL AND RUN THROUGH THE ENTIRE BODY AND WAIT FOR INDICATION.

I pointed the crystal over Braxrad’s body and slowly ran over it over him. At first his hands and chest... nothing happened. On to this legs, mid ribs... still nothing. I tried his back and started from his neck. The crystal flashed a red light onto his neck. It must be there, but I don’t have my weapons.

Before finding my weapons, I decided to search for anything to tie him up. The Dynoths as usual were docile and just wandered aimlessly. My best bet would be to search the burned houses, although I’m not sure it would be helpful.

Searching a few nearby houses produced no results. In the back of my mind, there was a fear of him waking up and I would have to do the dance all over again... frankly... it was painful and I would like to avoid that dance again. Then, I thought... I am the Blood King! I do not have the luxury to shy away from a fight. Even if he wakes up again, I will beat him.

With a new found enthusiasm, I continued my search of the remaining two houses which also yielded nothing except a large quantity of a certain type of plants known as Pocanbane.

Pocanbane grows readily in waste areas and disturbed soil, and seems to prefer partial shade. The plants can be recognized by their 4-foot tall, dark brown stalks and their dangling seed pods. Initially, the seed pods are paired tubes that come together at their ends, but bow away from each other in the middle. As the pods decay, the tubes peel open, slowly releasing the fluff-carried seeds to the wind. Incidentally, this fluff is an excellent fire-starting material. Breaking off the branches and top, but carefully; both tend to take fiber with them. Flattening a stalk longitudinally to break the core wood and separate it into two roughly equal halves. The woods were delightfully easy to remove. Starting at the thick end of one of the halves, I snap off inch-long section of wood. To avoid peeling, I pulled up one end, then the other, until the strip is removed and discarded those.

After making a long makeshift rope, I tested its elasticity and toughness. I stretched and stretched only to find it pass with flying colours. Without wasting anymore time, I reached the place where Braxrad was lying unconscious. I tied his hands behind his back and also his feet together. I used all of the rope until I was satisfied he would not tear it even if he tried to.

Once the tying part was finished, I went to look for my weapons. Our initial contact happened a few blocks away. I looked around and found some houses which were standing when I first came here were now razed to the ground. Many dead Dynoths lying around and many wondered aimlessly.

I reached the spot and found one of my swords inside a small crater. I felt a chill running down my spine thinking about how the crater was formed. Recovering one sword made me feel relieved. Even if the Dynoths attack me, I can defend myself without putting too much strain on my other skills. I found other one some distance away embedded into a Dynoth’s head. When did it get stuck there? Weird...

I returned back where Braxrad was all tied up and was happy to see him still unconscious. I pulled him up and sat him straight. Placing my sword over his nape, I made a light incision over it. Small strands of blood seeped out from the wound. Clearing the area, I feel around the wound and found it. If I remember correct, my King’s crystal can absorb the Controller. I placed the King’s Crystal over the area and it worked. Within seconds with a bright flash, the King’s Crystal dissolved it.

DO YOU WISH TO ESTABLISH INFERIOR MODEL CONNECTION?

Me: “Yes.”

My ears started ringing and it was quite painful, but the pain subsided as well as the ringing in my ear within a few moments. When the ringing stopped, all I heard was one thing.

“Peace!”

Everywhere I looked or turned, all the Dynoths kept chanting one thing.

“Peace!”

I tried to establish contact with them.

Me: “Listen to me... all Dynoths.

You are free now. You are free from your bounds if... you do certain things for me.

Do you want your freedom?”

It was quiet for a bit... then the singular chanting filled the area.

“Yes!”

Me: “Good.

Will you do certain things for me?”

I asked again just to reaffirm their decision.

“Yes!

Me: “I need four of you to stay here.

The rest of you can go where you came from.

The rest of you... can go back up the mountains.

Go back... to your home and live in peace.”

Silence fell in the area when I finished speaking to them. I looked around as I was now encircled by Dynoths. A little anxiousness also grew within me.

Five of them stepped forward.

Me: “I only need four.”

They just stood there while the others made their way towards the foot of the Amoith Mountain.

Well... let’s work with what I have. I spoke to the five that remained.

Me: “Can one of you carry this giant?”

I waited for any response from them. One of them stepped forward and came close to where Braxrad was lying. The Dynoth picked him up without any problem and put him on its shoulders.

Me: “Can one of you carry his weapon?”

Another quickly went and picked up his War Hammer as if it was nothing. Well... that concludes my business here. Now back to Adi’Je and some rest. I asked them to follow me and in turn I got weird companions on the way back. Adi’Je might get thrilled seeing theses Dynoths. On our way back, I studied their body language. Studying their body language for a while made me realize that each of them have different personalities.

I decided to take back Braxrad back to the camp along with the bodies of those two siblings. Someone is more deserving than me to end Braxrad’s life. I hope you stay strong facing your worst nightmare... Wei.

*********************** Deiti’s POV******************

Wei: “Hmmm...

W-We should no-not be doing thi-this right now.”

Me: “What! Nooo...

You definitely need this.”

Wei: “Hmm...

I-I should g-go.”

Me: “Stop... and enjoy a little.”

Wei: “Bu-but I-“

Me: “Shhhhuuuuuu...

Just... just keep your head down and loosen up your body. Let me give you a nice and quiet nice of massage.”

Who knew I could buy Carya Oil in this place! As soon as I saw it, I had the urge of giving Wei a great body massage with this oil. This is one of the best herbal oil produced in the entire continent of Zoit. Immediately I bought it and brought Wei in my tent. It was dark outside and within the tent; I put some dim lighting to lighten the mood.

I laid Wei on my bed, face down... after stripping her all of her clothes. Hmmm... Oh! It was lovely. She was so cute while we undressed each other. Although she acted scared, but her brown nipples said otherwise. Those were erect and ready to knead. I barely controlled myself and thought of the bigger picture. I had to give Wei a good time... she was in desperate need of a relaxing night and possibly a night of hot, passionate love making.

I poured oil all over her and spread it to all over her back without missing an inch. I put a towel over her hip, only exposing her upper back. With some oil in my hands, I started rubbing Wei. I moved from upper to her lower back to her hip and then moved my hands upwards. I felt some pressure or tension within that place. All these weights of the armour and the situation she was in... It all had added to this place. While slowly running my hands over her, I said.

Me: “A lot of beastmen accumulates a lot of stress in their lower backs.”

Wei: “Hmmm...”

Slowly I rubbed all over her back and all she did was moan slightly. I decided to change it a little bit. I poured some oil over her back, thighs and started rubbing there.

Me: “Perfect.”

Wei winced a little, but got back to her slight moaning. I rubbed from her back thighs all the way over to her calf. I did this on both of her legs.

Me: “Just let me know any problem area you have.”

Wei: “Hmmm...”

Silly yet cute beast woman. Slowly, I massaged her back thighs unwinding every pressure points located there. After a while, I decided to change her position.

Me: “Little Wei... turn around and let me see your frontal part.”

Wei: “Hmm...

What?”

Me: “Turn around little Wei.”

Surprisingly, she didn’t say anything and obeyed me. She turned around giving me the full view of her perky breasts. She was looking at me and her face looked flustered.

Me: “I am also naked you know... you see and feel my bare skin if you want.”

I saw a small smile in the corner of her lips. I leaned forward and brought my lips close to her yet I kept some distance between us. I kept my gaze on her and she responded. She closed the distance and finally... finally our lips met.

I ran my index finger just around her right nipple while we were kissing. I suckled her lower lips, then he upper lips. I felt a fire within me... it was burning and growing fiercer by the moment.

For a minute, second, I broke from our kiss and gazed towards her. I whispered to her.

Me: “You are so pretty... absolutely gorgeous.”

She smiled and her beauty attracted me even more. At that moment I felt... I want her... I want to be with her... I-I want to be her’s.

I moved my mouth closer to her right brown nipple and started licking it slowly. Sucked and once bit it too, and as I did that she bit her lower lips while moaning softly.

I moved my mouth towards her neck and kissed it while pressing her left breast. I licked and kissed while moving upwards until I was close to her ear. I licked the outer region of her ear and bit on her ear lobe while kneading her left nipple with two of my fingers. All the while, she kept her eyes closed and her soft moaning continued.

Slowly, while kissing and licking I moved down towards her cleavage. This time, I used both of my hands massaging her both breasts. I licked her nipples and her breasts. I cup them and caress them slowly and softly. Sometimes, I would kiss her on her lips while caressing her breasts. She put her arms around me and pushed me deeper into her body. I could feel the fire inside her growing.

While teasing her, I slid my hand over her vagina. I was already wet and when I started to massage the area around her vagina, her vagina began to throb. I felt her aching for more as she got wetter and more aroused, her breathing became heavy and the intensity of her moans became louder. I felt at that moment, our longing for each other magnified.
