It was now.
The time to make a move was now.
Bayo crouched deeper, his paws almost submerged in the dust. He ripped out some chunks of energy, channelling them into his limbs as he waited, his eyes carefully watching the mandibles for any action. His heart beat triple now, his whole body tensed up with anticipation.
He was just about to relax himself when the mandible snapped wide.
And he charged.
BOOOOOM!

WAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!
The charging of the vibrators resounded within the thorax of the beetle just then, dully.
It was now.
The time to make a move was now.

Ronke gasped in shock.At the very moment, all her hopes were on the verge of collapsing.. Even more, she was just about to add the death of someone who never should have a part in any of this, on her conscience.What was Bayo even here?She panicked, stretching out her hand to the stage almost as if she wanted to summon a blast of wind to swipe Bayo over and away from that stage. Her chest heaved heavily as Bayo whimpered, dragging himself heavily after he had been hit by the earlier sonic boom of the beetle.The MC roared out in enjoyment of the whole show. “What did I tell you, my people? This is premium content for you all. It is still not too late for you to adjust your bets to the winning side. Exactly”She hated the words that the MC was saying. Just who gave him the rights to determine whether or not Bayo was done for?“You have seen might and power. You have seen the calculativen
The Laprisha Soul beast Contest had been intended to run its full course with the interval of a year in between.In context, this meant that the leadership of Laprisha was only viable for the length of one year. Anyone who decided would want to remain in office after then would have to then compete again in the Contest.Infact, the contest of the ruling incumbent Lord was not debatable when looked at. For every contest that came about, one still had to deul the Lord.The Adzes valued and respected strength. In fact, the law of the Laprisha was inclined to worship the feet of those who were strong. Which is why in the case when the guards are supposedly to go after a person or people would rather shy away from that just because of the strength that person valued. In like manner, the people who lived in the town would not want to entrust their position of leadership to just someone who did not have something powerful enough for the town. After al
Crowd control.Since the incorporation of the Laprisha Soul Beast Contest, crowd control has and only has been a matter of immense concern.With the potent promise of having the leadership of the retirement intended Adze realm at the outskirts of the Adze Unity being publicized, a lot of contenders had arisen.After all, who would not be invested and interested in a contest that enabled them to suddenly become the Lord of that town. To think of all the things that they could do when they suddenly emerged as the Lord of that town when other places had their Lordship gotten by bloodline or appointment due to the heroic deeds one had committed that had saved the people a lot of damages and devastation.It was the classic get rich quick strategy. The fact t
“Hmm!” Shin nodded. “So, you are saying that beside targeting the back of the beetle, that if the Wolf targets the throat region, the Sonic ability would be nullified, right?”“Of course! What do you expect to happen?” The Beastkin laughed. “WIthout the sonic vibrators, the air current that it sucks in through the air vents, is practically useless. And if the air currents can not get to the vibrators because they are destroyed, then the air absorbed would end up needing somewhere to go.”“Yes, that is true.” Hana said, raising a finger to her lips. “ Once it takes in its needed air quantity, it shuts the air vents so that the air does not escape. So, if the air cannot be converted into sonic waves through the sonic vibrators, then the air would blow up the body of the Beetle.”<
The next moment, a ball of light soared past even as the bull staggered around, trying to gain a footing of itself. The ball soared into the area behind the door and then with a flash, Shin and Hana appeared in its place, Hana being held in the hand by Shin.“Heh!” Shin let go of her hand as they stared up ahead. “ We made it.”Hana gasped at the scene before her. Her heart went double on the beat as her muscles became taut almost immediately, her entire form frozen to the spot. “Commander Eno?”"You're joking. That's the commander??" Shin gasped, lowering his eyes glasses with one hand.He just could not believe it. Hana had been right all along. Yes, even though Ronke had somewhat confirmed it then but still, a part of him had argued that they had both been mistaken.However, right before his eyes were the Commander and Ronke and Tangera. All of them in one spot.It was unbeli
But what could he really do?His energy had been halved by two thirds as a result of that blast. It was not even a full blast but yet his energy had been chopped up like this.What could he do?‘Well, i could choose!’ Bayo growled at the last moment.Yes, he could do that. He could choose when and how he was going to die, that is, if he ever got to choose whether he would die. This life was his and no one had the right to chop it short.Not even the damned beetle.‘Heed me, Stupid Law!’ Bayo criedout desperately for one more time. He reached inwards and grabbed the Law of Gluttony, split
In a match to the death as all soul beast contest battles were, the ability of a beast to make optimal decisions in the blink of an eye had been the grace that had seen them to live and win.When faced with opponents, these beasts are able to adapt to the conditions that they fight with, even to the extent of changing their style and manner of approach just to be on level ground with the opponent before them.It is of popular opinion that the soul beasts are not sentient beasts. But however because of the bond that these creatures share with their hosts, a level of intelligence is attained in them. Sometimes, this intelligence may span as a result of experience gained when going out on various missions with the hosts or just as a result of time and growth.For beasts with longer time as a soul bond
‘Go, charge it from behind!’ Bayo sent his prompts to the vacant mind of the Clone that was waiting for it to fill up. When he had first started with the clones, he had failed, miserably because he was unable to grasp that the clones would need a direction before they could get on something.And now, some sort of mastery had come upon him, allowing him to be able to reach out to the clone which was in a way connected to his mind as a sort of submind and then urge it towards the desires he had created it for.And then, it charged.*As Bayo was running, the wings were closing just then, followed by the elytra of the turtle shelling. Bayo ground his teeth, doubling on his limbs to get there. iT was only a few inches and somehow, the Turtle backed sonic beetle seemed to have tired itself out which was why it was taking some time in closing down its wings and then doing the rest.Bayo slid himself to a rapid pause as the d
