"SARGE!!" shouted King, witnessing as a massive surge of air currents ripple through the Calvary Unit, hurdling several members off the path's cliff.

While the surviving few were pinned down, almost crush by it monstrous pressure.

King suddenly charged forward engulfed in blacklightning, jolting pass the blue mountain giant and smiting down between the Calvary Units and the Red mountain giant.

Q and his squad were unscathed by the attack since it was souly focused on the Calvary units, but they were still in danger as the blue mountain giant approached from behind.

Glancing at King, the Red mountain giant eye's locked with him and the two began to emitting monstrous blood lust towards each other,

"Sooo you're the one that's emitting such monstrous flow." The Red mountain giant stated with his eyes brimming with excitement as he reared back his cleaver with a grin upon his face.

King not breaking eye contact stood unshaken as his lightning cloaking danced fiercely about him,

"VALLEYYYYY!! SHOC......., Bla-ou!, the hell?" Said the red mountain giant in a state of confusion as too why Bla-ou had interrupted his attack,

"Rooi!." He sharply replied pulling him inward and swiftly whispered into his ear, a mere moment after Rooi took off. Heading inward toward the far west of the mountain,

"Did he really just ran off?, something serious must be happening that would require him to just disengage an enemy." King thought to himself, rightafter Rooi took off King quickly began to check on his men.

"Q and his unit are still intact, seems the one called Bla-ou completely brushed them off as a threat. Sarge and Luetinante are still alive but we've lost more than fifty men from Rooi's attack." King thought as he was calculating all possibilities that may occur,

With Rooi"s presence becoming faded King launch forward towards Bla-ou,

"Huh? One on one...." Bla-ou said wearing a smirk upon his face.

"Aren't you a bit eager?" Bla-ou questioned, standing in a firm stance awaiting King's assault.

"One on one? We doan got time for that shit!" King instantly responded,

"What?!" Bla-ou said in shock, just then realized apart for King he couldn't sense the presence of the remaining Knights.

"He's crowding my senses, how amusing", Bla-ou concluded.

"HEAVEN'S SMITE!!" King roared, calling down an enormous bolt of lightning,

BOOOSSH!!!!

"grrrrrrrrhh!!, how annoying..." Bla-ou stated. Taking the strike head on causing his entire body to smoke from the sudden strike.

Bla-ou began to giggle, "if your goal was too tickle me then, You could've just used a feather." he mocked.

Quickly after Bla-ou charged forward at an alarming pace catching King off guard, smashing into his guard with overwhelmed power. Then swiftly following up with another blow aimed at King's head.

Whooossssshh!!! Just slightly missing the evasive King,

"Sweet suga!, block the first strike was a mistake. It like he's hurdling meteors with each strike towards me. Can I even win?" King pounder, swiftly darting back outta Bla-ou range.

"EY!!, what happen too that one on one vibe?" Bla-ou asked. Effortlessly closing the gap created by King, Bla-ou then began to rear his arm for another strike.

Glancing being King then suddenly stop cutting off the momentum that Bla-ou was building by chasing him.

"Wasn't ever a one on one", King responded.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!, TWIN TORRENTS!!!" Roared Sarge descending from above.

Simultaneously, King rapidly spun around, ramming into Bla-ou restricting his movements.

THOODMMM!!! Smashing down upon Bla-ou's shoulders,

"aaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!, Why is his skin this tough?" Sarge thought as his axe and sword struggle to break Bla-ou flesh.

"Grrrrrrrrrrr..."griting his teeth in anger. Bla-ou was even more annoyed by the fact he was caught in such a trap.

"two of you are just pest!!." Bla-ou shouted grabbing hold of Sarge's neck and shoved King's face in effort to make space,

"I'm going too squeeze then juices out of you." Bla-ou stated.

"Hold up...that's kinda sus." Sarge stated,

"No...is it?" Bla-ou questioned.

"Well.... you did say his juices. Soooo.." King add,

*Weird silence*

"Imma kill you." Bla-ou reannounced,

With a smirk Sarge then yelled out, "LUETINANTE!!", Then instantly continuing too applie force upon Bla-ou shoulders,

"More?" Bla-ou thought. His sense were still being clouded by King, and shortly after Sarge's shouted Luetinante appeared from the left.

In an instant he launched forward smashing into Bla-ou's open right side with a roaring right hook. To then follow through with a nasty knee to the thigh of Bla-ou, drive it in with such intensity causing Bla-ou too lose his footing slightly.

Following up in sync with Luetinante soared Q, already moments from thrusting his spear through the back of Bla-ou's neck.

"Crafty. Their entire plan was to restrict my movements just long enough for the little one to land a critical blow." Bla-ou concluded,

Nice try.

Shattering upon impact was Q's Spear as it failed to even scratch his skin, this left the others in complete shock.

Which instantly swept over both Sarge and Luetinante faces, and inna brisk motion Bla-ou quickly shifted his weight towards Luetinante who was retracting Bla-ou's right leg.

Suddenly Bla-ou released his grip on Sarge's neck and savagely ramming his elbow to the Luetinante. Instantly stunning him,

"Shittttttt!!!....." King thought as Bla-ou immediately after clocking Luetinante followed up with a soaring uppercut into Sarge's stomach, launching him several feet behind King.

The speed in which Bla-ou had performed those two attacks were at such a high pace that Q still hadn't landed, and Bla-ou had already launched his third strike.

With a savage twist Bla-ou performed an incredible rotating round house kick. Aimed at the still descending Q.

Seconds before impact and probably Q's death King forcefully twisted counter clockwise bearly managing to halt Bla-ou before he connected.

*Glares down*

"You've interfered for the last time now." Stated Bla-ou, swiftly grabbing hold of King forcefully breaking King's hold and shoving him into the ground with tremendous force, creating an instant crater upon impact.

Bla-ou hand along was big enough to cover over King's chest as he pinned him too the ground.

With King pinned under his hand, he stared him dead in his eyes and began to mock him.

"call the lightning." Bla-ou mocked as his darkblue skin tone began to change into a deep black with spiral marking covering his arms back and chest in a bright skyblue colour.

A sudden grin appeared upon King'sface as he heard those words, "I'll give you the lightning." King responded,

*Intense blood lust*

"Huh?", Bla-ou thought. Feeling an overwhelming surge of rage being placed upon him, but as he turn to gaze upon the creature that was emitting such malice towards him.

He was met with a malevolence glare from Q who had subconsciously went into a berserk state and was only mere seconds from thrusting his hand towards Bla-ou's neck.

His eyes were blank with red markings running parallel down his right eye, these red line also formed bands around his arms and then broke off into patterns long his forearm, his hands were both a deep dark shade of red, both cloaked with immense energy.

Swiftly King grabbed hold of Bla-ou's wrist and wrapped both legs around his waist in attempts to give Q a better shot.

"You wanted lightning? Here's my lightning....LORDSSSS THUNDERRRRRR!!!!!" he roared mighty, smiting Q and imbuedening him with strength as the Blacklightning cloaked his body,

SWOOSH!!! PSSSZZZIIIITTT!!! * lightning dancing erratically*

"What?" King thought, Q was now on the back of Bla-ou with his hand cloaked in lightning struggling to peirce through Bla-ou's neck.

"Grrrrrrhhh.....so you can use that technique to enhance others as well, and as for him. How did you manage to capture an offspring of Blood Crimson Moon Tribe?" Bla-ou questioned,

"Huh??.. so that's why Q was alway looked down upon by the church, and that's why his background was so well hidden. It took me months too gather the information surrounding him and for his parents those records have been sealed. Seems like I'll be breaking some rules pon my return, if I manage to survive this shit." King thought as he began to wrestle against Bla-ou,

*Pins King again*

"You've used up too much off your grace trying to prevent me from sensing your comrades, Bla-ou stated pressing against King's neck with his forearm.

Q still in his berserk state began offloading consecutive strikes upon Bla-ou trying to peirce through,

"Grrrrhhhh....ANNOYING!!!" shouted Bla-ou swiftly expelling stone like spikes to fire out from his back, however Q was effortlessly avoiding the sudden assault easily counter until his senses returned.

Instantly getting peirce and being dismounted in the process.

"Pest", Bla-ou stated drawing his focus back towards King.

*Eyes locked again*

"Oooh, you've gone too far", King stated instantly entering his King's Rein state.

Without hesitation King grabbed hold of Bla-ou's horns and in a sudden burst, King rammed his skull into Bla-ou's face.

This sudden outburst caught Bla-ou off guard, causing his head too whip back in a violent motion. Not letting this opportunity go to waste, King unleashing a fury of strikes upon Bla-ou,

"Aaaaaahhhh....." Bla-ou yelled out, infuriated by Kings high volume assault,

Pssszzzzzzaaatt!!!!! WHAAMMMM!!!!!

"Grrrrrrrhhhh!!!!!", Groaned Bla-ou, as both Sarge and Luetinante had launched simultaneous attacks upon him, both being Imbued by king's lightning.

Sarge driving both his sword and axe into Bla-ou's chest along with Luetinante thrusting his knee into his neck. The force of the impact caused the ground beneath to crater. Same time King used this chance too full contoure his arm.

THOODMMM!!! Echoed out as King torpedo his fist into Bla-ou's face, launching him a few feet alway.

"Agggrrrrhhh......" *rubs jaw* "Seem I've underestimated you a bit. So they were also enhance by his lightning strike...how clever." Bla-ou stated, even after taking such an heavy assault, he had not a scratch upon him.

"Damn it. One on one, is too close for me not too mention his body is practically impenetrable. Still blunt attacks do work, just we aren't hitting him hard enough." King thought,

*Glances around*

"So they've regrouped, must have happen while that group assault was happening? They even managed to retrieve the tribal boy as well."

Bla-ou's focus suddenly shifted towards Q for a moment. He had an intense look and an ominous presence began to surge from him.

"mmmmmm...anyway it seems we're back at square one, with you trying too pass me." He onfidently said with a massive girl upon his face.

"BLA-OUUUUU!!!!!" Echoed from the top of the mountain, the pitch was so loud and deep that it shock the mountain itself.

Not missing a best Bla-ou quickly darted up the mountain, covering a great distance in a matter of seconds.

"What??...really??... is this how we're managing to survive these encounters? By mere conveniences." The Luetinante question,

"I call BS on this." Sarge stated,

"Enough you two.... *deep breath* our chances of taking this mountain are less than zero, sooo we will grab it by the balls and go." King said in releaf of not having to use both Sarge and Luetinante as decodes.

"Wait wait wait. Less than zero?...why are we still here?" Sarge quickly asked,

"On this gotdamn continent!" Luetinante followed up,

The two had already arranged to take leave if the mission turned out too be a suicidal one, and all evidence showed that it was.

"Seems you two have forgotten something very important." King replied,

"What?,Huh?" Both Sarge and Luetinante said in eagerly awaiting King's explanation.

"......., ok I'll say it again. The clan upon this mountain has been having none stop clashes with opposing Clans and Tribes, they have no allies and it seems another group has attack the mountain from the west." King states,

"That explains why the Red one tooked off so hastily." Luetinante figured,

"And if that's so then they couldn't be large amounts of these mountain giants." Sarge stated,

The Knights then gather and came up with a risky yet profitable plan, with their forces almost depleted and their men weary from battle. King chose to ascend the mountain with Sarge alone, Luetinante however was given order to stay and gather only fifty of the remaining Knights and ascend following a path that King would have paved out.

Further plans were still being made until a certain topic was brought about.

"Sooooo....." peaking over at Q, "what's up with that?" Luetinante question.

King played ignorant for the time being but,

With Luetinante constantly question and Sarge boldly eye balling him with smug looks,

Event King's silence broke and he began to explain his findings on Q.

He explained that Nineteen years ago Q was born in one of the Church's territories, and that he had spent the first seven years off recorded but upon turning eight Q was sent into the Church's training camps for promising Knights.

He told them that though Q was incredibly skilled and knowledgeable and was clearly above even some of the Knight teachers, though Q was never acknowledged. Instead they chose to hide the fact he was that gifted. King also infromed them that he just learnt form the mountain giant Bla-ou that Q's unique style actually originated from a Tribe here.

"Mmmmm...so then, he's clearly a descendant from a tribe here." Sarge concluded,

"If so that enough reason for why the church placed him in such a lowly position within the Knights Core." Luetinante figured,

"But how could you despise such a lovely face? I mean just look at him." Sarge said in a lively manner shoving Q's unconscious face into King face,

SMACK!!!

"GOD!!, King. How could you do that to such an adorable face?" Sarge asked, gently caressing Q's now bruised face.

"Slapping an unconscious person is just low." Luetinante added,

*Glares* "you wanna become unconscious too?" King asked,

"I don't give a damn bout his face or his past, he's shown time and time again his loyalty too the Core. Now Sarge, lets head out and try to find whoever it was that made that ridiculous shout." King told him,

Several moment later

Again??, this is just terrible. We've passed four small villages on our ascent and each time we've found it bearing similar traits, the houses all grown to ruin and covered in old stained blood with small blood red flowers.

The areas still bearing the scars of battle, and these great red trees which are planted randomly all over in each we've came arcoss." Sarge ranted,

"Then too add on that, we then find the Graves......CHILDREN!! GRAVES!! King."

Sarge stated with his anger raging,

"It's a shame....they, even went after the children not leaving a single sole alive, this mountain clan has been suffering so much and yet they refuse to give up this mountain.

I need to find out more." King said, upon placing a flower upon the grave stones of those children that were killed.

The two continued further towards the center of the enormous mountain, upon traveling further they notice several great red trees that had grown in bunches, they stucked out like weeds as they could be found through out the mountain, especially around the small villages.

They also came across several different species of beast, but all seem too be non hostile towards them. They even passed interesting plants and fruits, though some gave off suspicious vibes cause King to refrain from eating any.

However it didn't stop Sarge who fell victim several times to these fruits side effects,

"Agggrrrhh....auukk aauukkk, I've been deceive." Sarge stated after vomiting,

"It was literally shaped like a skull. What you thought would've happen." King replied,

"I thought it was just exotic!" Sarge yelled with his his eyes bright red and watering.

"Aaaaaahhhh!!!! And why does does it taste like assess!!!" He expressed,

*Sus look* "how you know what ass taste like Sarge?" King asked with a smartass expression,

Some time later the two final came to what seem like the center of the mountain, and too there surprise it was completely engrossed by hundreds of red trees, they push further through until come to an open field plain.

If was filled with blood red flowers and only had four clan houses, sitting calmly in front of one other them was old man.

Rocking peacefully in a rockingchair while tending to a child he held in his arms.

King drop too his knees in defeat,

"Kin....Ki.......K...KING!!", Sarge struggling to speak as his body had froze.

"This man......his strength is equal to that of a Divine, how is that even possible?" King pounder.

Still sitting calmly the old man every so slightly gaze at Sarge, there eyes met.

"Aaaaaah my heart." *Drop flat* "grrrrrrrhhhh.... he merely looked at me and it felt like he shoved his fist through my chest." Sarge stated,

"Ey... the two of you look ridiculous just laying there, come over here by me." The old man told them.

Both King and Sarge hesitate, walking towards your death is no way for a knight too go out they thought.

"Did you not hear me?" He asked this time in a more serious tone.

His words struck fear deep into their soul, so much so that Sarge was going in an out of consciousness.

King not wanting to engage, slowly began to move forward towards the old man but was unable to directly make eye contact with him.

For his gaze was bright like the sun, blinding any who dares stare at it.

Sarge on the other hand crept behind King, for he could feel the crippling pressure weighing on him.

"Mmmmmm.....I might like these two after all Tye."
