Soon they got to a flight of steps and then took the steps almost immediately, brushing past the few humanoids they saw on the stair, their sides bordered by concrete walls of grey on both sides.
And as they did that hastily, the cheering and the chattering of the crowd began to rise up in volumes informing them that they were fast reaching the Pavilion from which they would be able to search for Ronke.
In short time, they raced up the stairs and then burst out into the open eternal night airs of Laprisha, their eardrums drummed in loudly by the noises and chattering on both sides
They were right in the center of the pavilion that backed the Bisellium, directly before it with the enormous space between. The two walls that had been the borders of the stairs that they climbed on were on both sides of them,
She gasped, her eyes widening at her fingers. She had missed.It sounded so strange to her because she was sure she had timed down everything. As an ir Familiar, she could detect fluctuations in the air molecules about. It was what she had used to detect where Lord Aiko was at.The process worked by finding out what exactly was disturbing the molecular state of the air and then tracking it. It was just as if one would follow a trail of water waves just to find out the direction a boat had travelled through recently.It was that simple but even when she had known that and acted on it, she had missed, still. It was unbelievable to conceive that she had missed but then it was true.It was either her timing was wrong, which meant the person or thing w
Hana and Shin ran again into each other, both of them standing on the last step of the pavilion that had been massively avoided by the crowd. They exhaled shaking their heads at each other now, an obvious indication that their search had all been fruitless.“Nothing…” Shin exhaled, his hands sticking into the pocket of his white hoodie.“Me too.” Hana replied. “I went to the other side of the Pavilions. There.” She pointed to the side to the left where people also sat to watch the match. “Still nothing!”“Are we sure that she is here? I mean, she could have run into something along the way that may have stopped her from getting here on time.” Shin shrugged.“So, you are saying that we be
Meanwhile, down below, Bayo had finished his assessment of the Turtle Backed Sonic Beetle and now was the time to engage it, finally.He crept up some few inches, the movement rather negligible to anyone but if a person was to be watching him carefully, then the person would have picked up those minute movements. He dug his claws into the ground, holding himself tense as he stared at the face of the Beetle.However as he stared at it, he did not seem to find the head of it. The eyes of the Beetle were somewhat turned down to the grun, lodged at the small side of what he had ignored as the head.It was deceptive. Just after the big mass of the abdomen, what was next was the shiny mass of black that he mistook as the start of its head when he wrongly called it whereas, it was but the Pronotum.<
And to that, he had to capitalise on the fact that he was somewhat faster than the beetle. If he could time exactly when the beetle would launch out a sonic attack at him, then he could use that to perfectly time its race to the back of it.Being that the beetle was slow, it would be hard enough for it to turn around pretty fast to redirect the flow of the sonic boom at him, all the while its back was still open and powering its vibrator. And then,just before the vents could close, he could jump up there and bite, claw everything he could to deal a real critical strike.The only problem now was that he had been rather silent and unmoving but then the Beetle had just remained still, watching it.‘Open your back, you damned beetle.’ Bayo bared his fangs. 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.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.HAscenders: Rising From Zero Fighting the Turtle Backed Sonic Beetle
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
