Richard was truly and wholly incensed by the battle. He gathered all eight of his remaining troops as quickly a possible moved south towards the great deceiver. Richard had a decent idea the location of his enemies base which he now planning to attack in a suicide dive. They travelled stealthy as possible to avoid all detection, arriving in the evening close to the Great Boabab Tree.
He could not believe he had been such a fool, he gave them a chance to fight fair, not only did they not take it. Kwanda and his squad stole the sigil of the principle during the fight. Richard was all kinds of mad. Sam could not even get a word in, Richard whole heartedly believed that they must have cheated.
Richard believed that Kwanda like himself would not allow another king to exist in his alliance, thus the only person who should have been able to grab the sigil is either him or Kwanda.
It was also the reason he was so focused on defeating kwanda, as the only other king of Richard had defeated Kwanda he would not have to worry to much. As the principle did say that the sigil is the Kings quest.
Dani is king of 1D, Kwanda had asked for them to work together because when the principle said it was the King Quest. Meaning that he might need another king to properly interact with the sigil.
Upon arriving at the Great Boabab Tree, the squad rested as Dani begun observing the sigil. As she moved her mana into the sigil a projection of the principle came up. The six did not stop anyone from looking at the projection.
It detailed that the Kings duty is to protect his lands, by any means necessary sometimes a king must let go of pride and accepted the help of their equals. Kwanda jumped when he realized he was somewhat right he should have tried to include the other kings.
One more teacher was still out there, Mr Walker had not been seen at all, they thought maybe Richards army had defeated him.
Kwanda and Dani had to move mana in the sigil until it unlocks and creates a magic to defend from the danger coming on the final night. The more kings they had it would be easy to defend against the incoming Doom.
The process would last at least four hours by Kwanda's calculations his mana was freakish so the other kings were not needed, but it would drastically reduce the time. allowing them to sooner pass the the test.
Richard arrived to dozens of monsters surrounding the Great Boabab Tree, he sat just waiting anxiously he knew that the sigil would test Kwanda and his squad, during that time he would take advantage of the chaos.
They all lined up waiting for the moment to strike, Richards was hold holding his strongest aura, slowly burning mana.
Claudio, one of the boys in Kwanda class, alerted everyone to the disturbance he felt, Kwanda left Rose in charge as he and Dani had already begun working with the sigil.
Richard heard a large thumping, from the distance, he shouted a phrase in kloppenrhyme, a dark aura was emanating from his body, his allies all moved silently and fast past the creatures who did not notice them, they begun to climb the tree.
Thump
Thump
Thump
A tree fell as a wood giant smashed into the Great Boabab Tree
Crash
The whole tree rattled a few screams from the boys, that were indistinguishable from the girls screams.
Crash
The wood giants slammed into the tree again, the rumbling atop causing one student to lose balance and fall towards the bottom, he was caught by Greta, who had used a shadow to catch the boy.
Bang!
A crack appeared at the centre point, about six metered deep, which on a trunk a kilometer wide was miniscule. The wood giant roared and smashed and kicked repeatedly the tree swaying more and more as time went on.
One of Richard's men had fallen to death [scoped up many an unseen figure]...Richard hesitated for a moment before, pressing his troops forward.
Rose had made a formation with all thirty four of them around Kwanda and Dani. She had a
made a decision that they all face the monster together as Kwanda wanted, they would fail and pass together.
SMASH
A booming vibration shook the whole tree, as one of its roots loosened from the soil. Richard and his seven troops arrived atop the tree.
Swoosh, a cold snap ice wall knocked into the direction of Richards men, hitting two. The others spread out looking over at the source of spell as their eyes nearly fell out of there sockets.
Richard could not also believe it, his mind raced at the baffling scene, he did not understand how Kwanda had not lost a single soldier, He thought that he must have lost more than him why else would he only attack with seven people.
SMASH, a wind slash, fire shot and water are fired at the perplexed crew of Richard. Followed by a series of arrows and bolts even a shadow dart was fired, knocking all of them down off the tree.
A yellow light flicked in and out as it caught every single one of Richards men, Kwanda was glad that his friends had handled that quickly.
Boom! The wood giants attack become fierce the whole tree top shook violent that shot had caused a reverb in the trunk amplifying the shaking
One of the students fell into Dani, the sigil lit up even more to Kwanda's shock. He then commanded two more to join them specifically from the weakest in the group.
The sigil lit up, then shared this revelation with the six[Includes Dani with Kwanda they make seven]. Daniel immediately slams his hand to ground of the tree top. explained that in the eyes of monster their are no kings, it's part of the School mantra they practice every morning.
Kwanda nodded as it clicked for all them, they are all equal kings and soldiers no one is special monsters kill all. It was a lesson Kwanda knew intimately, he sighed, "Even with all my memories, I still need to work hard and how to use my previous[Earth] knowledge help me in this life."
The students all held hands and worked together to unlock the sigil.
A flare shot up into the sky, followed by thousand of fireflies that flew towards the gaint.
Roar!
smash
punch it fought to destroyed the fireflies, once all thirty six hundred landed the wood giant was engulfed in a giant fire that lasted less than a second.
As it crashed to the ground, it body became forest hiding all the damaged it had done....
