The sun was about to set and soon it would be a night. The odd combinations of Moon and others weren't worried as their mind was focused on the heated conversation.
Everyone had their view on certain things and here they were sharing their thoughts as everyone was pondering the answer to Raiz's question except for one cloud, who for the first in his life wasn't curious about the answer.
No matter what the answer was, Moon, didn't see any good ending for both of them. Just because the noble was arrogant and haughty didn't mean he deserved to die and just because the other one was a librarian didn't mean that he wasn't evil, kidnapping children's in his cellar. There was one more factor even if one killed the other.
" It's the noble since he was taught to look down on the commoners since his birth. He would think, he was the one who deserved to live over the librarian" Elder Green threw his opinion into the conversation.
The bees mostly were in the forest fighting every day for their survival. Even the smartest Aurora had never interacted with humans before Thundersons joined them. She wouldn't know how humans thought in certain situations and she certainly didn't know how Raiz was casually keeping up with the conversation.
The bees were learning a lot from this conversation just by listening. One day it might even help them in the future and that future might come soon depending on the white tiger's answer.
" Don't forget even a mouse who's cornered will bite back. The librarian would be smarter if his brain didn't stop working due to fear. He would notice the noble was likely to die either way"
" If the pirates were smart enough to scheme that if the librarian picks the sword and kills the noble. They might let him go, knowing he wouldn't be able to report to any authority"
"After all, he killed a noble with his own hands. His life would end as soon as he confessed his crimes and that was IF the pirates decided to let him go."
" On the other hand, if the noble killed the librarian, he was likely to die. Killing a noble would be a pirate's joy and notorious fame to the pirates. There are lots of IFS on how they would die but slim to none for the pirates to let them go.
Val who was the head of the Thunders for many years had a quite rich experience. Frankly in that situation both of them were dead. With no strength, surrounded by enemies and full of fear would result in not being able to see the whole picture.
Even Val would have had tough in that situation, now he was able to think clearly but in that dangerous moment, it would be hard to say how it would go.
Everyone thought what Val said made sense. Most of them here would fight through the pirates but the noble and the librarian were mortal humans.
" Yes, that's true. Both of them were destined to die there but there was one small door for their survival. The first and the most important key in that situation was to cooperate."
" But let's be honest how many can even think in that situation?" Raiz saw Aurora, Amilios, Neon, Brav, Alia and even Moon raising hands through his cloud body.
" Ahaha. I don't mean us. We are a bit special case in the world, but usually, people don't have trust in others especially if it conversation their life depend on it" Raiz informed.
" I don't know about others but you definitely aren't normal" Moon remembered when Raiz trusted a complete stranger cloud.
Moon knew Raiz had been betrayed due to his personality and not just one or two times. He would always give every person a chance without judging in the beginning. Normally people would get tired of believing and would change to not trusting anymore.
Raiz believed in himself. He would trust them all first and those who didn't reach up to his trust would appear at some point but he rather believes than miss that one who was worth believing for.
The conversation had finally come to its end but something else was also coming to its end. The sun has completely concealed itself as the nighttime has come.
The white tiger wasn't awake still and it was already nighttime. Now they had to defend the white tiger from any predators lurking in the shadows.
Thankfully the moon shone brightly showing the environment. Val and elder saw better at night than normal humans but they knew it wasn't enough to fend off the predators that may come.
Everyone formed a circle around the white tiger and Moon floated on top of him, protecting the tiger from every direction.
" Everyone fight like our leader isn't here. Don't count on him to save your asses, there will come battle when he will be occupied. Get used to and grow stronger right here and right now" Raiz commanded
Everyone nodded. They knew that if they were just to rely on Moon, they would be careless which would not help sharpen their fighting instinct. Which would be fatal somewhere in the future.
Moon didn't mind helping them but seeing their resolutions, he kept his mouth quiet. They were now at the entrance of the middle, there shouldn't be giant beasts like that Eagle and tiger.
The middle forest consisted of three sections. First Entrance, semi and the end. The battle between the eagle and the white tiger began at the end of the middle forest and they came all the way to the entrance of the middle while they were fighting.
In the silence, everyone was focused on the coming enemy and soon enough something slithered under the moonlight. It was a snake as thick as a tree.
It looked at the white tiger, then looked at Brav who came in its sight first. Brav noticed the snake as well and immediately informed of others.
" There's a snake, there might be others lurking in the corners. Be careful" Brav was most worried about Alia since her abilities weren't offensive. The snake turned around and whipped its tail towards the absent-minded Brav.
Brav reacted as he shielded by crossing both his hands against the tough tail. Brav flew into the air by the impact of the tail. He flipped in the air and flew towards the snake.
Brav kicked the towards the snake, the snake used the tree as a shield. it flipped the tree into Bravs path but with Bravs strength, the tree was crushed instantly and it didn't stop Bravs momentum as he was still headed towards the snake.
The snake tried to dodge the incoming kick by jumping to the left side. Brav who saw the snake's movement used his wings and changed his direction.
Brav rotated his body and did a tornado kick into the snaked head. The snake's head was severed brutally, making the snake's body bleed out. Brav still didn't let his guard off until the snake's body stopped moving completely.
" I've taken care of the snake that was on this side. Be careful of their hard tails" Brav yelled to the others. Especially hoping to help Alia in any way. The reason why he said the snake on my side was because he saw few others when he was in the sky.
Raiz also encountered a snake. This was a green one. Raiz looked at the snake like a treasure, he had been training and finally entered the third stage. Now a dummy came to help him, how could Raiz not be grateful?
The snake thought Raiz wasn't focused and tried to swing his tail towards him. Raiz raised his hand and threw something at the tail. The tail that was in the air suddenly crashed into the ground.
The snake tried many times to lift but it couldn't. it decided to bite Raiz's head and swallow it whole. Raiz raised his other hand and the head of the snake was now on the ground not able to move.
" I can use it more efficiently now but it still takes a toll on me. I need each hand to use a gravity ball. I still got a long way to go " Raiz sighted and completely crushed the snake's head.
On the other side of the white tiger, Alia looked at the snake that was in front of her. It was completely white, a lot smaller snake than the others. Alia noticed the snake was injured and was barely able to move.
Its stomach was bleeding and the more it moved with it, the more it was getting hurt. Alia looked at the snake's eye and felt it was asking for help. Alia healed the snake with her mana, after she was done she moved back and was ready for the fight.
The snake slithered towards her and pounced only to stop in her face. The snake turned its head back to where it came from. Moon looked at the leaving snake.
What the snake didn't know was, it barely escaped from certain death. If it had gotten one centimetre closed, Moon would have barbecued it on the spot.
