Chapter 40 - The Scorchers the Untamable Beast

"Kai, the Scorchers won't listen to you!" Luna continued, "They are untamable beast"

'Kai responded with an evil smirk, "We'll see about that!"

As Kai said, he tossed the Eternal Blade in the air. The Eternal Blade flew high in the sky, but then it suddenly stopped at a point where it was barely visible to anyone.

The Eternal Blade started to fly around cloak-wise in the air. The speed of the Blade increases with each circle. The Eternal Blade then begins to glow its symbols in blue color. The Blade's speed was so fast that it looked like a blue circle in the sky. The wind speed was increasing rapidly, matching it with the Eternal Blade's speed.

The sand started to move cloak-wise, gradually forming a sand tornado before Kai and slowly approaching the Eternal Blade. 

The wind had gotten so fast that Aide, Eiera, and Rin struggled to stand on the sand, and Luna was barely able to stop herself from being dragged in. The Eternal Blade was also dragging her with the sand. But Kai was standing like a wall before the sand tornado.

As The sand tornado reached The Eternal Blade's height, a heavy voice appeared from the sand tornado. "WHO DARE TO SUMMON US!"

After hearing the voice, The Eternal Blade stopped moving and stayed in the air. As the Blade stopped moving, the sand immediately fell on the ground, creating a shockwave. Everyone covers their eyes for protection except Kai.

As the sand settled, Eiera, Rin, and Aiden removed their hands from their eyes. They saw Kai standing before three Scorchers. Scorchers had a human-like body, but they were taller than ten feet, their entire body was covered in spikes, and they had horns like buffalo on their head. Under their horns, they have four eyes matching their orange skin color. Their fingertips were sharper than swords.

The Scorchers looked at Kai, their eyes filled with fury. "IT'S YOU WHO DARED TO SUMMON US!" 

As the Scorchers spoke, they lunged towards Kai to attack him. Before their hands could reach Kai, a barrier appeared between the Scorchers and Kai, which made the Scorchers bounce back.

Kai gazes at the Scorcher's eyes then he looks at the Eternal Blade, which is hovering over the Scorchers. Scorchers also looked up, all three of them immediately recognized the Eternal Blade. It was the Eternal Blade that had trapped all three of the Scorchers in a barrier.

Aiden, standing at a distance from Kai, was shocked by the presence of Scorchers. He moved closer to Luna and asked her. "Didn't you tell me that he can't use the Eternal Blade's power?"

Luna responded, "Look closer! It's not Kai who's using the Eternal Blade's power. It's the Eternal Blade itself who's using its own power to help Kai." Luna explained.

Aiden asked another question, "Wait, how are we able to understand the language of these hideous creatures?"

Luna then pointed towards the hovering Eternal Blade, "It's the Eternal Blade that's translating every word they speak." Luna continued, "It's just a fraction of its power." 

One of the Scorchers spoke to Kai, "SO YOU ARE KAI THE WEILDER OF THE ETERNAL BLADE!" 

Kai looked up at the Scorchers, "I don't have time for an introduction." Kai pointed towards the carriage and continued, "I want all three of you to carry that carriage and follow me."

"HOW DARE YOU ASKED US FOR HELP!" The Scorchers got furious after listening to Kai's demand, all three of them bang on the Eternal Blade's barrier. Scorchers, "LET US OUT! AND WE'LL TELL YOU WHO WE ARE!"

"The thing is, I wasn't asking. I'm ordering all three of you!" Kai said in a commanding tone.

"WE'LL DIE BEFORE WE LISTEN TO YOU!" Scorchers said.

Aiden again asked Luna, "They are refusing to help us. What is he going to do now?"

"They can't refuse to the Eternal Blade wielder, and if they don't..." Luna stopped.

"Don't what? What will happen if they don't listen to him?" Aiden asked.

Before Luna could respond, Kai said to Scorchers. "As you wish!" As Kai said, he looked up at the hovering Eternal Blade. He gave Eternal Blade a silent command.

The Eternal Blade glowed in response, As the Eternal Blade responded to Kai. It started to slowly descend onto the Scorchers. 

The Scorchers started to feel uneasiness in their body, "WHAT'S HAPPENING TO US!"

Kai smirked and said, "You wanted to die right!"

As Kai said, the Eternal Blade suddenly lowered its distance between the Scorchers and itself by a great amount. The Eternal Blade glowed even brighter. The pressure of the Eternal Blade's aura overwhelmed the Scorchers. They fell on their knees. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't manage to stand up. It was like they were being crushed by the Blade's aura.

The Eternal Blade descended more, making the sand below the Scorchers into quicksand. The Scorchers were stuck in the sand. The more the Eternal Blade descended, the more they got eaten by the sand.

"Last Chance!" Kai said in a serious tone.
