Chapter 22 - The time is coming

Shortly after Kra'ga returned to the main village where he reported his discovery as well as the achievement of his entire team to get the Elite title, the adults looked cheerful while the elders began to rave, not long after the village was wrapped in a holiday status upon discovering that elite warriors were born, many young people began to ask Kra'ga and his brothers how they became so strong.

Intoxicated by the party's drink, Kra'ga said everything he did to the young Kobolds, something he would resent the next day when he discovered how many young Kobolds left the safe village to challenge themselves against powerful monsters.

Desperate, all the adults went out in search of these hot-blooded youngsters, Kra'ga was no exception.

In his search, Kra'ga found a group of 10 young Kobolds who were about to be kidnapped by renegade kobolds, he was about to leave to remove those garbage once, but suddenly a great pressure arose in the air which was focused on the young and the renegades, Kra'ga avoided the aura very easily thanks to his experience.

Kra'ga was able to confirm that the aura came from a powerful beast, but not enough to defeat him, he decided to wait and see what happened.

The renegades became very alert, while the young people gathered completely scared.

It didn't take long for a black spot to emerge from the bushes at high speed and stand elegantly while looking at the invaders.

A large black cat left the forest, although its size would be like a dog, Kra'ga looked confused at not being able to distinguish the type of monster it is, since there is no record of a monster like the one in front of him, the only similar are striped cats, a dangerous breed during the night, but it is also the one that is below in the danger ranking, it was surprising to see one of this mutated breed having its own territory, something not registered.

Kra'ga observed any detail of the beast, because if there is one, there may be more.

The cat watched the renegades and the young, also observed the environment for a few moments, the renegades stopped being alert when observing their little nosy.

The renegades began to laugh at the weak aspect of the beast, one of them let out his murderous intent on the cat, shortly after the other renegades did the same thing hoping to see the cat flee with its tail between its legs.

But instead, the cat moved his ears a little at the time he was subjected to the murderous intention, the cat's eyes showed some discomfort and contempt.

In an instant, the cat disappeared from its place while there are only the marks of its cat paws where it made enough strength to leave them marked... on a rock and the paw marks were releasing a bit of heat while they have a color reddish on the gray rock.

Kra'ga was surprised at the cat's high speed, but it was still within his reach to follow him with his eyes and consider it a bit slow.

The cat did not disappear, but it pushed itself forward and placed itself near the 4 renegades and... patted each one in the face with his front legs.

The renegades could only hear in their minds Shortly after they all flew in different directions and when they touched the ground they were no longer alive, this did not scare the young people who had already seen the death of loved ones in the hands of renegades or powerful beasts, but although not terrified, they all still trembled in their places to know that they are close to death.

The cat watched the air for a mini-second and soon turned to see the young kobolds who were trembling, the cat's eyes filled with curiosity, something that surprised Kra'ga to notice the eyes of the cat.

"They're not red... aren't they red?!" Kra'ga was surprised to see this particularity, something that cannot be considered a mutation since it became common knowledge within his village that the monsters have red eyes because they are under the influence of the demon, this was checked with some wolves which were domesticated which showed blue or brown eyes.

Kra'ga was hypnotized by the amethyst eyes of the cat, now that he wasn't paying attention to it, he can also noticed a spiritual contract in the black cat's body under his left eye, so far only the shaman of his village has these contracts because he can interact with the spirits, according to the shaman, these marks are a way in which a mana spirit shows its favor towards a particular creature, the brand has different effects according to the intention of the spirit, but the most common is that it serves to make the spirit enter and rest to avoid being swallowed by other mana spirits or mana consciousness balls.

Kra'ga was lost in his mind for a few seconds because of the surprises he is taking in a single moment, but tha moment vast for a brave young kobold to take a few trembling steps of bravery to face the black cat.

The young boy raised his spear ready for a confrontation, taking a big breath, he went forward to the cat to try to impale him with his favorite spear, at that moment Kra'ga came back to appreciate the moment, his body tensed to the Seeing the stupid action of the young Kobold, Kra'ga's body began pumping the mana inside him to save the young man and eliminate the black cat.

But nothing dangerous happened, the black cat played with the young kobold as he dodged his attacks, the cat began to show a mischievous gleam in its eyes as he dodged the incessant and disorderly attacks of the young kobold, , at all times the black cat dodge the attacks and every time he could hit the young kobold with its tail with enough force not to kill him, there was no murderous intention in the cat's eyes or actions at all times when it played with the young kobold, only the playful nature of a simple cat playing with its new toy, this confused Kra'ga on several levels.

Time passed and younger Kobolds joined the fight... no, rather, the game, although there was only one individual who entertained everything that happened and they were not the young Kobolds.

Not long after, adults came to be guided by Kra'ga, everyone looked surprised by the absurd situation in front of them, a black cat playing with a mini-army of kobolds to catch if you look at it from the perspective of the cat, since it had all the young Kobolds trying to catch it whatever it takes, the young people had already thrown their weapons and now they are just trying to catch the cat to regain his pride.

Time passed and all the young kobolds are on the floor breathless while the cat is sitting on a rock while he cleanses itself, Kra'ga can see a little surprise in the cat when it is cleaning itself with its tongue, as if It was the first time the cat did it.

Shortly after this, the young people with the shattered pride, promised themselves to get a sheet of black cat for their beds, if not, they will accept that they are weak, it did not take long for the news of the existence of a black Cat to spread among the villages, the rumors only made the warm-blooded youth decide to challenge themselves by hunting the black cat or beating it.

While the adults who received the full information decided to let their young people suffer a crushing defeat now that they are young before their useless proudly kill them or become renegades.

This caused the young Kobolds to gather to challenge the cat every day, even if they returned in pain, the young people realized that the Cat is somewhat eccentric, since he grumpily while his tail is high, a sign that he is cheerful or entertaining.

But on the seventh day they challenged the black cat, the forest environment was heavier than normal and they could also notice the behavior of the black cat, which no longer seemed to play with them, but simply defeated them quickly and withdrew towards the forest with a serious look, the adults of the village did not look surprised by this news.

The young Kobolds did not take long to find out why, as it turns out that the beasts have been preparing to get the crown once and for all, the adult kobolds began to reinforce the safety of the village like that of the young by always having someone watching them to them or to the eggs.

Alex thought while a little hoop of yellow fire revolves around him.

This is Alex's new magical training style, a fire hoop that performs a hoop-shaped turn and another that is a rotation with Alex as the center, while he only used his mana to control the spin and rotation and he makes the fire stay alive by consuming the surrounding mana.

A method that consumes all Alex's concentration to keep him, by doing this he can do nothing more, except to have an occasional rambling in his mind about an issue that bothers him, but his fascination with magic makes him focus 100% in his training.

While Alex is in his training, a giant shadow moves at a constant speed towards him, the same happens in other places where other shadows go to different territories of different beasts, since these shadows already have their objectives to face in this coronation.
