War Of The Worlds

Chapter 01: Void devour

In the woods behind the Wilson family a fifteen year old boy was seen doing push-ups while beats of sweat were seen flowing down his forehead, he had been doing push-ups for thirty minutes and his muscles we're aching.

"Nine hundred and ninety nine"

"One thousand"

With that last push-ups he fell down while gasping for breath ,his face showed a satisfied smile. He then sat in a meditative position trying to absorb essence from the world but whenever he tried to absorb the essence it would just get absorbed by his soul instead of entering every fiber of his cells to strengthen them.

"I guess it's useless to try absorbing world essence without an ability but what's with it disappearing like I never did anything"

He did not know anything about his soul taking the world essence he tried to gather. Silver slowly took a breathe to calm himself down ,his body was soaked with sweat and you could see the outline of his fit muscles. He slowly opened his eyes and as soon as he opened them he saw a group of about four who were his peers in age and seeing him open his eyes and sitting in a meditative position the group burst out in laughter.

" Ey guys look that waste seems to be trying to absorb world essence" the one who looked like their lead mocked then his fellows chocked with laughter again.

"Boss you're right this guy is useless"

"Even the new clan leader saw that he was useless that's why he got his flaming heart stolen by him and given to his cousin" their boss said again and they bust into laughter again.

Silver just got up and cast them a glance then walked away ignoring their existence, this was a common occurrence to him. Whenever his brother would go back to the academy he would always get treated like this but when he was around everyone would avoid him since his brother would always beat up everyone who tries to make fun of him. Seeing that he was ignoring them the group felt like they were being looked down upon and the group got angry. The leader look at one of his underlings and nodded , the underling understood what was being implied. He curled his fist up and rushed at Silver ,Silver felt the on coming air behind him ,he then sidestepped and continued on his way. The underling got angry then a green Halo appeared around him as vines appeared and shot at Silver and wrapped him up, Silver tried to struggle but could not do anything his opponent. His opponent was at the first element stage and silver was only a cripple.

"Not so smart now Mr no flaming heart" as he said so the group burst in laughter.

Their leader slowly approached the wrapped Silver then he punch at his gut, Silver groaned in pain but he still looked at them like they were not worthy of his attention. The leader named Chris seeing this attitude from him was incensed then he threw even more punches but that only served to make him even more angry .

"Today I'm going to make you wish you were dead." He turned to look at his underlings

"knock him out then take him to the beast Forest, make sure no one knows. We'll meet there"

They all nodded then followed Chris's orders and all set out to do their task. The beast was outside Bay City. Beast forest was a place to train for the younger generation of the city but it was also filled with dangers where one was at the rest to lose their own lives if not careful enough. The older generation all encouraged that their juniors to go to the beast forest to horn their skills. All those who could survive the beast forest we're above average in terms of talent.

Chris's group all arrived and met each other at the entrance of the beast forest and they did not waste anytime and delved inside going about six kilometers deep inside the forest. All those who could reach this point we're strong and there were few people. Chris looked at the tied up and smiled alright boys leave him here ,he's going to be bait. Chris took out a knife and stabbed Silver twice in then smirked.

"You're going to make nice bait for the blood rhino" Chris then went to hide with his crew in the nearby bushes

The blood rhino was not like your average rhino this one was carnivorous and it loved to torture it's pray ,it had the blood illusion ability which could draw blood from it's victim then transform into blood mist which would trap the victim in an illusion where they would be tortured and when they finally get rid of the illusion they'll find the blood rhino torturing them in reality. The victim would be tortured both physically and mentally.

After a few minutes the ground began to rumble and in a few seconds the blood rhino appeared ten meters away from Silver and it was still charging at full speed. In a few seconds the blood rhino arrived in from of the tied up Silver ,it then ram it's horn on Silver's other shoulder.

"Arghhh" Silver had tried to suppress the pain but it was too unbearable which caused him to screen in pain.

The blood rhino seemed to be enjoying his screams ,it was about to use its ability when Chris and crew appeared and attacked it but the blood rhino was cunning it seemed to know that the was no easy lunch in the beast Forest. It was baiting the baiter, as soon as they appeared it ran towards Chris and slammed him flying, it rushed towards him again and as soon as he landed on the ground it raised its from hooves and smashed Chris's skull and just like that he went to meet his ancestors.

Chris's underlings saw the unfavorable situation mad ran in opposite directions. The blood rhino gave chance and in a matter of a minute two screams were heard in opposite directions, soon it returned to its unmoving prey Silver.

Silver smiled bitterly the blood rhino used its horn to strike at Silver's thigh , Silver screamed and the blood rhino seemed to be enjoying itself , looking satisfied with the screams it used blood illusion to trap Silver in an illusion. In the illusion , Silver saw himself being tortured endlessly ,it was nerve wrecking. He could endure it until he saw when his ability was stolen. He remembered his revenge unconsciously black smoke oozed out of Silver, outside the illusion the blood rhino could sense the danger from the black smoke . It tried to back away but the smoke seemed to have a life of its own and it enveloped the blood rhino, soon the groans of the blood rhino could be heard and the black smoke receded but what was left of the blood rhino was what looked to be skin and bones. The blood rhino limped away and didn't even look back.

Silver opened his eyes and the saw that all his injuries we're gone ,he seemed to hear a voice whispering void devour to him, seemed to be confused about what was happening but information flooded into his brain, he just stood there speechless.
