"Oboy! 2nd Prime Anu has entered Pseudo demigod." Ralia muttered.
"When last did we see anyone attaining demigod status?" A bald headed man, standing adjacent to Balogun questioned.
"Don't be dumb. That's Pseudo DemiGod." A white haired woman replied him.
"But, she has wings, Sena. That's the property of Demi Gods." The man replied again.
"Gosh… Don't you know what a pseudo class is? Or should I educate you?" Ralia questioned, spreading forth her hands.
"B-but…"
"ENOUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHH" Balogun cried, ramming his feet into the ground. As he did, a mini shockwave exploded with the earth cracking on impact..
"Heh… Is that feet stamping meant to scare us now? Kilo shey eleyi?(1)" Balogun turned, his eyes were glittering danger as he cast a disdainful look at the owner of the voice.
Fayose.
Fayose scratched his already rough beard hurriedly. Looking aside, his body begun to glow, exuding an aura that rivaled the intensity of Balogun's aura.
The other females turned to look at him too. Following his lead, the air became tense as powerful auras collided, shooting out random energy and sparks into the air.
"E je ka she eleyi"(2) Balogun moved closer to the other Alphas who also responded by closing the distance. Their eyes contained fierce power as their body muscles went taut.
"Ijakadi: Third form" Balogun roared as their fists meant in the center.
His muscles tensed up further, turning grayish as cracked lines appeared all over him. Fayose looked at him in contempt. "Show Off"
Ijakadi (3)was the Alpha Ultimate technique.
Similar to Transcendency, where the power levels, received significant boosts.
While Ino Agbara(4) was an essence dependent technique and could only be used by special level Irunmoles, Ijakadi was more of brute strength. Alphas in Ijakadi had sheer might and were even capable of dealing damage to Agbara dependent technique users. But even at that, it was not readily accessible to all Alphas.
Only high ranked Alphas could truly attain this stage. Ijakadi had three stages, each stage unleashed an inaccessible innate ability. But for Balogun to ascend through all the stages at one go…
Fayose shook his head now. He felt the tingly aura from Balogun steaming into his eyes as he watched. Shrugging, he waved his thoughts aside.
"Ijakadi: First form" His hands balled as bubbles floated around his fists. "Rolling fist" He muttered, biting his lips as his aura intensified.
He flexed his muscles about, ramming his feet into the ground simultaneously. Then suddenly, Fayose jerked forward, propelling himself with vibrating impetus.
On, to the wolf.
Just then, another explosive force rocked through the air. Balogun kicked his legs, boosting his heavily dense body into momentum as he leapt. Energy waves rolled off his body continuously as he tore along. At this, his body trembled at the thunderous impulse he contained inside of him.
The other Primes followed suit.
Sena and Ralia yelled out simultaneously, drawing one foot behind. "Marun-Ina Ina(5):First form"
Their hair twisted and swirled as if they had life. Light encased their hands filling them with soothing but yet powerful aura.
"Second form, Third form, Fourth Form, Fifth Form" They yelled simultaneously, twirling their bodies in strange ritual movements.
The Marun-Igba Ina was similar to Ijakadi. Except that Ijakadi was the masculine version and the fact that Ijakadi had only three forms. In Marun-Igba Ina, an alpha's power level gained massive boosts, raising their status to Prime Compatible. And Ijakadi, they had to also ascend through the various forms.
Ralia and Sena were quite skilled to scale through all the ascensions easily. While they did theirs with ease, Ijakadi was more tasking and each level required huge amount of energy to pull through. This energy tasking requirement of Ijakadi was quite negligible when compared to the tremendous damage dealt out. Same for Marun-Igba Ina
Ralia and Sena's eyes' flashed, an orange beam of light bursting out. Following that, their body suddenly became engulfed in flames of orange fire, giving them very deadly appearances.
WHOOSH
The fire that had enveloped them extinguished spurting out shockwave explosions from their bodies.
The aura of the two Alpha Classed Irunmoles skyrocketed now. Seeing this, Sena smirked now,clenching her fists."Alpha's Rage: Raging fire."
Drawing on her essence, Sena and Ralia's eyes beamed out another burst of orange light. Their auras clashed again dangerously, sending forth sparks of fire.
As the spark of fire went out, everywhere suddenly became choking. A fiery orange haze began settling around each Alpha. The haze glittered, oozing out unrivaled might and power, filling nigh and sundry with ferocious sensations.
In their hands, beams of light appear.
The beams began to take in shape and solidity as it increased in lengthen. Stretching out for a meter long and belching clouds of white fume.
Their hands simultaneously went ablaze. The fire trailed up the arms of Ralia and Sena, over to the shoulders and face. The fire stretched onto the scalp, ignite the strands of hair.
Their hairs burnt and crackled, spurting sparks and heat.
Yet it seemed as though the devouring flames were increasing their strength.
"Lets do this. On my Order, Charge." Sena looked to her side, expecting approval as she clenched her fists.
"Heh… Lets do this." Ralia grimaced, She leaned to the right, clenching the beam of burning light , waiting for the word.
The beam of light was actually a more powerful version of the Imole Mo that every Irunmole except Messenger Class could access.
"Now!"
BOOM
BOOOM
The Alphas tore out, breaking through at tremendous speed. They forced their bodies on, exerting extreme pressure on the surroundings.
And from a distance, a figure spoke.
"This is my fight. This is MY FIGHT…" The voice thundered, echoing as the soundwaves travelled metres long. But the Alphas did not hear it. Their eyes were filled with killing intent as they blasted with increasing momentum, a semi transparent Halo forming over their heads.
________ _______
Debris and dirt shook for awhile before cascading off to the earth.
Revealing a forgotten, blackened and injured irunmole. The irunmole was trying desperately to rise. It was the efforts that had pushed most of the debris buried about him.
He tried again and again but his body would only move 3 inches from the ground.
Willing his body to comply now, he dragged himself to seating position.
And then to crawling position. And slowly, he crawled and crawled, muttering inaudible sounds.
The last thing he remembered was him facing off a wolf that had tried to gobble him up. He had used his basic skill ability for his class, Pseudo Elite, The Imole Mo.
But that had proven ineffective.
"I..I..i need to g--get strong…." He stammered, clawing at dirt and dust as he crawled closer to the battle arena.
He noted now that The Elder and 3RD Prime had made no move since. Instead, the wolf had increased in size and had gone all way level high. He smirked dangerously thinking of how just the wolf seemed to call to him.
Crouching to his knees, he wondered how long he had been knocked out as he rubbed the back of his head trying to remember.
Or was it just his head playing games with him? Had Elder and Prime actually acted?
Maybe they had and he had not seen them because he was knocked out.
His face flashed as he recalled what happened earlier, flush of anger filling his entire body.
He remembered that Elder had motioned to stop Maerius from reaching out to him when he wolf spat him out. He knew that he really did not need help.
But at that time, he needed all the help he wanted.
Yet The Elder did nothing. Even stopping Maerius from acting.
So, Elder hated him so much that he was willing to let him get killed?
The irunmole's breathing became jagged. He rammed a fist into an open palm.
"OOOOUCHH!" His whole body resonated In pain as result. Closing his eyes, he willed himself to absorb Agbara into him.
Absorbing of Agbara did two things to an Irunmole. It either increased their power levels or it saved them from Soul Decline. But the absorption could only take place when the irunmole was no longer engaging in battle.
However, a critically damaged Irunmole was incapable of absorbing Agbara to repair his body.
He opened his eyes now, feeling slightly better.
His body had not rejuvenated yet. He didn't have that time for that. That wolf called to his soul. He didn't know why this was but what he knew was that, he just seemed attracted to the wolf.
BOOOOM
BOOOOOOOM
Light flashed about, filing in a circle around the wolf and something that blurred through the sky. The irunmole blinked, unable to ascertain anything.
Just then, a huge shockwave rocked through, meaning to clear him off the ground.
"NOOOOOOO… OKO KILIASI(6)" A feminine voice exploded beside him.
Immediately, her form shivered, exerting fierce energy around as she dug her light spear deep into the ground.
A shockwave shot out from the impact, throwing dust and earth shrapnel into the incoming massive shockwave.
The waves collided with each other, the bigger one swallowing the smaller one and
BOOOOM…
The two irunmoles were swept off their feet.
Their bodies were tossed weightlessly about, tumbling and twisting into the scarred remains of trees. After being hurtled about, the shockwave finally subsided, plunging them into a raging whirl pool of dust and earth.
The two irunmoles lay down, unable to move on bit. The male had dropped down on his side, with an arm twisted to the back. The female had even more of a rough landing.
She was flung heads-down into the earth. Her face hit hard against the already hardened earth, leaving burning red imprints on her cheek , nose and lips. Already her lips had caked into crusty layers of dirt. Her braids were mixed in a flurry of dust and sticks had begun to loosen.
For several seconds, the two irunmoles remained in that position. Unable to move, speak or think. Their chests heaving continuously as if a heavy burden was latched on.
The male irunmole, simply blinked severally, trying to clear off the dust that was setttling into the eyes. He snorted.
Immediately, his head jerked forward as he sneezed out. His muscles went taut at that, forcing another wave of pain all over his joints. That sudden movement had shot spasms of ache all over his body.
Minutes passed.
Yet they lay there, incapable of motion.
Their breathing had begun to quiet down already.
Far in front of them were the sounds of a raging battle. They heard series of booms, thunders, and even felt the backlash of concussion winds.
Yet they lay still.
The breeze began to settle now. Even at that, there were still particles of dust floating in every direction. Far above them, at the height of 700meters, a big grey creature like bird soared past. The bird let out series of low screeching sounds as It circled the air, looking for a prey.
For a second, the bird hovered, peeking down at the scene below it.
In a split second, it pulled its wings over to its side, and dived down, dipping down in a blur.
Within seconds, the bird like creature slammed its three clawed feet into the ground to gain a footing, raising a cloud of dust in the process.
It had landed in between the Irunmoles . It cocked its head as if in thought before making for The Irunmole who had her face turned down to the ground.
It approached, carefully. Swiftly, the bird twisted to its back, casting a look at the other irunmole as if it was expecting a sneak attack.
It snarled, puffing up its mane.
But when it realized that the other irunmole was still, it turned around.
Majestically striding over to the female Irunmole.
Peering curiously, the bird like creature used a claw to push the female over.
The bird drew its face closer to the female turning its head to the side.
CRAW CRAW CRAW…
Just then , the irunmoles eyes fluttered open. She observed the creature that had screeched at her. From her position, she sized it up. It had the head of a falcon and was quite big.
Probably 3 feet tall?
Niniola coughed dryly. Her throat was parched. She desperately needed to drink in something. Raising a trembling hand, she touched the face of the bird.
"J-just…j..just who … who a-are you?"She stammered.
Quickly, the bird drew its head back as if it was taken by surprise. It turned from side to side and it appeared to be sizing her up. Then it flapped its wings, clearing off the dust clouds around them.
After that, the bird walked majestically over to Sunday and peeked at him cautiously. It turned back, casting a glance at Niniola before shaking its head at him.
That same instant, Sunday stirred. The bird froze in mid motion. It was about to set one foot down but it didn't. It simply stood there, looking more like a statue than an actual creature.
Sunday pulled his hand that was twisted to the back forward.
The bird jerked its head backwards. With a flap of its wings, the bird launched, kicking its foot backwards in one straight line.
Away from the ground.
