Chapter 81 - Unraveling the Totem Code“No…” groaned the High Priest and several totem warriors from the flaming tribe. They were trying to do something, but their whole body couldn't move. Blood flowed out of his body and also his mouth. Their condition is so severe that it is difficult to help me now.My screams were heart-rending, but no one could help me. However, suddenly a greenish light appeared and illuminated my body. I widened my eyes when I noticed that the High Priest was using the Grand Healer Flaming Totem secretly and aimed it at me.With the power of the Grand Healer Flaming Totem, I can move my body and shake off the branch that Shady thrust into me. I quickly tried to push the beautiful woman's body to the ground. The Grand Healer made all my wounds heal quickly and now I held Shady's hand. The beautiful woman widened her beautiful eyes, unable to guess what I was about to do to her.I imagined the golden tree and instantly it shone before me. I could quickly see tha
“They are so terrible. They want to use my powers. In time, they will use me to rule over all tribes in the totem world. They will kill me. They just need my power,” I said."I know, Rex," Mora replied."At least we can rest easy now," I said."No! We can't calm down. Sooner or later the Shadow Totem Tribe will return for revenge,” Khores said suddenly. His voice sounded weak but very serious."What do you mean, Chores?" I asked.“They will find a way to get revenge, Rex. We have destroyed and destroyed their only hope of ever winning again. Despite all the crimes they have committed, indeed they really need strength to survive. Their population has decreased a lot,” said Khores.I sighed. What Toth Karan told me has some truth to it. Not everything he said was a lie. However, what should I do? There is pity in my mind when I remember the eyes of the children in the shadow totem tribe. I can't stand the thought of them suffering and starving.“For the time being they will not attack u
However, I did not seek his approval. His body is in my control and I decide what we will do. Sorry, Rex, I had to do this, otherwise I won't be able to forgive myself.I glanced at the clothes from the shadow totem tribe that I hung in front of the camp. Tomorrow I will put it on to settle back in there. I'll do it tomorrow, early in the morning.'You are a jerk, Ares!' Rex shouted angrily.“Sorry,” I replied.Rex just silent. I know in his heart that even Rex can't bear to see the suffering children of the shadow tribe. In his heart of hearts, Rex was half supporting me in this mission, so he decided to remain silent in annoyance.***Before dawn, I emerged from my tent wearing a long apprentice robe. Inside I was wearing clothes from the shadow totem tribe. I've got everything that might come in handy, from the totem to the small knife I've tucked in my pocket.I followed my previous escape route, past the stables. With quick steps, I headed to the stables and I don't think anyone
I then found something that caught my attention. Pulling up my warrior's hat to cover my face more, I walked slowly toward the outer wall at the back of the stone cave. As I did, two warriors walked by talking. I stood straight up and froze in my place. I pretended to be on guard. Luckily the two people didn't pay attention to me anymore, because they looked tired and wanted to rest.I waited for them to completely disappear, then continued walking toward something on the wall. After getting closer, I widened my eyes because my hunch was correct. It's a crack in the wall. Apparently the passage has openings and if I'm strong enough I might be able to pry off some of the rock and sneak my way inside.Slowly, I pry the part that is slightly open then bring my face closer to peek inside. I then looked inside the totem storage. Just beyond this wall was the far back corner of the rock cave. Tall shelves were visible inside and it seemed that no one was there. The shelves were mostly empty
The sound of footsteps was getting closer and I panicked even more.“Hurry up, dammit!” I shouted.My hands were shaking as I tried to open the portal from the totem codes piece in my hand. I frantically tried to shake it around, but the portal still wouldn't open.“Come on!” I shouted in panic.I started to see people running towards me. I don't know what happened to the person who helped me just now, because these totem warriors looked ferocious running toward me. Of course, I stole all of their precious totems. I'd be the same as destroying them if I didn't intend to return them. However, they don't know my good intentions in doing this."There he is!" they exclaimed when they saw me struggling with the totem code.I panicked even more, and Rex added to my panic by screaming in my brain. However, at that precise moment, suddenly the totem code piece flashed brightly like a magic wand in movies. A moment later I saw a portal open before me. I went inside quickly without thinking, an
"You have no idea that what you are doing could be fatal, Rex Hito," Khores said again in a very intimidating manner.I turned to the High Priest, trying to see his expression. However, he took a deep breath while looking at me. Somehow, I can understand his expression. He agreed with Khores.“Hand over the totems and we will make them bow at our feet. They would not be able to live without these totems. Even now, they must be suffering from the bloody marks that appeared on the moon. We have made a big profit with all these totems,” said Khores with a face shining with happiness.He was about to come forward to take the totems, but I waved my hand. Without me knowing, I was able to close my sack again so the totems went back into the sack. With my telekinetic power appearing out of nowhere, I quickly pulled up the sack and brought it under my feet.“Rex Hito!” Khores shouted in a booming voice."I know what's on your mind, Your Highness Khores," I said.Khores lifted his chin while g
I knew that I would easily offend their egos.“Damn it! No one is afraid of a brat like you!”"Then you agree to my terms. Isn't that right, Venerable Khores?" I asked with a smile.Khores looked at me angrily. I don't know if he knew that he was walking into a trap or not but he nodded."Let's do it, little one!" he exclaimed.Everyone was shouting and cheering because they were going to have a good show. For the majority of the Flaming Totem tribe, this duel was completely costless regardless of the outcome, as they were still the victorious tribe in this matter. However, I know most support Khores because they are afraid that what Khores said will come true after we return their totems. But I'm not that stupid. I also won't let the battle happen again, one way or another."Okay, when shall we start?" I asked."We can start now."I turned my head and found that it was the High Priest who answered my question this time. All the leaders had gathered, but they just watched in silence.
I was completely shocked to see what came next. The doves were gone and instead was some kind of giant, squirming spiders. They were thin and white, almost like the walls of this room. How could I possibly shoot them all? This is very annoying!'Ares, do something! If you miss all these spiders, you will lose to Khores for sure!’ Rex shouted in my mind."I know," I replied spontaneously.It took me a second to realize that maybe there were people listening to me talk alone. I didn't want to bother with it just yet, so I tried to shoot the spider. But unfortunately, this group of spiders moves much more agile than doves. All my shots were missed.Damn it! I shouted.From a distance, I can seem to hear Khores laughing. This really sucks because it's like he knows I'm having a hard time. The spiders were all thin, with legs thinner than a pencil. They move agile so it is very difficult to aim. This is very annoying!I imagined the golden tree's power to help me overcome this, but as soon
