Chereads / THE BEAST OF ALL NATION / Chapter 7 - Another breakthrough

Chapter 7 - Another breakthrough

Kwasi has made a double breakthrough with the help of the herbs he ate, and the place for cultivating, which is, at the bottom of water of ice, powered the herbs more than they were to fully activate the tower of faith to unlock the stages.

The herbs in the cuboid chest were consumed, the hallow bone was next. Kwasi was still in meditation when he used his new ability gained from his first breakthrough, "mental ability". This ability is about how one's brain power works. If high, one can control objects for long with his or her mind, and if low, one can only control an object and for a short time. Kwasi's mental ability falls under the low class. He just gained it, so it would take time to build his mental ability to a higher class.

Kwasi used his mental ability to control the peacock hallow bone, raising it from the cuboid chest and slowly moving it around to his back. The peacock hallow bone itself entered Kwasi's back, went straight to Kwasi's spinal cord, and attached itself to it, forming part of the spinal cord. "aargh!!" Kwasi screamed in pain. "aaarrgghh!!" Kwasi made another scream, this time around, Kwasi did it exerting all his physical might, causing his veins to be visible.

The scream Kwasi made was not heard outside, because of the transition from air to water.

Kwasi kept screaming, as the peacock hallow bone fixed with his spinal cord. After it fixed completly, Kwasi's spinal cord hardened, making him feel sensations.

"aarh!, aarh!, arhh!,aarh!". Kwasi's back started to grow big, big, big, bigger, bigger, and Kwasi made another scream "aaarrhh!!" as a vibrant yellow and aquamarine series of elongated pair of wings emerged from his back, lighting an aquamarine colour at the bottom of of water of ice. The pair of wings were large in size and had an elegant appearance. Kwasi opened his eyes to the lighting aquamarine colour at the bottom of the water, as he tried to stand up to his feet. But when he stood up on his knees, he felt like a heavy load was put on his back, not making it easy for him to stand up to his feet. He tried his utmost strenght to stand up, forcing his body with loud screams. He was slowly getting up. Kwasi kept trying to stand, as his vulture's sight activated, and he screamed "aarh!!" standing up to his feet with great vigor, and opened his arms, looking up.

Outside the water of ice, grandma was not there when the water started to surge for sometime, and from the water into the air appeared Kwasi with vibrant yellow and aquamarine series of elongated pair of wings closed, covering Kwasi. And when the pair of wings opened, it spread out a chill wind, sweeping over the water of ice and its surroundings. Kwasi flapped his wings as he landed on the ice. "Where's grandma?" he asked letting in his wings. Kwasi looked around to check if he would see grandma, but there was no sign of her. What Kwasi saw was a white paper with a flashing yellow aura around it. Kwasi went for it and saw it was a note left by grandma saying, "I am called to be present at the village for an urgent meeting, so I may not be here after your cultivation. I will leave a white cloth behind, so after you come out from the water of ice, cover your body with it. You will be invisible to the evil foxes and wolves, and also, your scent cannot be sensed. Make a succesful trip back to the village my grandson". "Okay" Kwasi said after he read the note and the white paper changed into a with cloth. Kwasi covered his body with the white cloth, let out his wings and flew out from the mountain, flapping his wings which spread out its fragrance; even if Kwasi's wings spread out its fragrance, still it cannot be sensed by the evil foxes and wolves in the mountain.

When Kwasi flew out from the mountain, his eyes only gazed at the direction to the village of his grandma, but he lost it when he saw a six tail fox walking slowly to the sleeping pink river.

"Could it be the fox lady?" Kwasi asked. The fox was trying its best to walk into the river, but it fell down at the bank. "I will get a skill or an ability from the fox if i kill it. No, it is already dying, suffering too much, i bet it even wishes to die... let's grant that wish" Kwasi said as he turned back and flew down to the bank of the sleeping pink river. The pink fox was breathing slowly, as its heartbeat kept slowing down and it could be seen that tears filled in its eyes, showing that it was afraid to die.

Kwasi landed on the ground at the bank of the sleeping pink river and watched the fox die. A pink core came out from the fox, shining intensely. "Only a core??. So it's true, that if a beast dies on its own,only a core will come out from the beast. And if killed, two cores come out from the dead beast. I have never had a core from a dead beast before, i have to get my hands on this one to know the difference" Kwasi said as he walked forward. Out from nowhere, two mani foxes and two mani wolves jumped in to take the pink core; mani beasts are the type of beasts that have high level sense. When Kwasi saw them, his eyes popped out. Quickly, he run forward, "wind of the roaring dragon!" Kwasi said in a shout.

Wind of the roaring dragon is one of the ultimate skills Kwasi gained when he made his second breakthrough.

A black dragon figure of about 5.4 feet tall with glint yellow eyes appeared behind Kwasi and gave out a loud roar, sweeping away the two foxes and two wolves. Kwasi jumped of the ground to catch the pink core of the 6 tail fox that was blown away. As soon as Kwasi landed, he took his heel as the dragon dissapeared.

The foxes and wolves being blown away were hurt when they hit on a tree. They all stood up and sensed the scent of a human, but they couldn't move for they were badly injured.

Kwasi run as if he was flash, not looking back, only heading in a linear path, until he came to stop when he found himself in a dark environment. "Darkness. Is this the nature of this place or it's because night has fallen?" Kwasi asked looking around, with the pink core in his right hand, shining intensely.He walked around, using the pink core as his light. "If a core gained is not absorbed in 15minutes, it will dissapear. I have to find a place to absorb it" Kwasi muttered as he walked to tree, that provided shade. Kwasi hurried to sit down under the tree and swallowed the pink core. A pink aura emerged out from Kwasi's body, entering his nostrils, ears and forehead, making him feel dizzy. Still, he kept on meditating. Kwasi inhaled the pink aura and exhaled a hazy air. He repeated that for tripple times, before taking in a long inhale and exhaled a pink air, meaning his body has absorbed the power of the pink core.

Kwasi sat in meditation for a whole two months, before he completly absorbed the power of the pink core. Not only that, Kwasi made another breakthrough. He stood up from meditation, feeling fully stregthened and grown. The white cloth given to him months ago was still covering him; i guess that's what served as a protection barrier for him for all this months in in cultivation. Kwasi opened his eyes to the warmth from the sunlight and said, " i made tripple breakthrough this time. I'm at formidable fighter level 3, aaaah, what a succes" Kwasi took a long breathe in, and breathe out slowly, feeling relieve and sensations. Alright, let's try our new skills gained" Kwasi said as he made a step back. A pink hue appeared and climed up from his legs upward. "Fox teleport skill". When Kwasi's mouth ended, he made just a step forward and dissapeared, leaving a crack on the ground.

Only a pink colour could be seen coming at a fast speed, heading to grandma's village. Kwasi's running speed was more than a flash, by passing beasts, big and small small trees, a stream, Kwasi even jumped onto to a branch of a tree to save a bird from been bitten by a Cobra. The pink aura around him was shining intensely, that sack away beasts who live in darkness. The viper, is one of that kind. It has rested in a cool dry and dark place under a tall and big tree, providing it a shade, not allowing a ray of light to permeat to the ground. Such places are where wild animals like the viper live or can be seen. The viper run away when Kwasi by-passed the tall and big tree. Kwasi's pink aura shining intensely lit a pink colour at the viper's resting place.

"The fox's speed is a high level skill, among the three skills i gained from the pink core. The first is, the teleport skill, second is, the fox speed, and the third is, the 3 clones skill. But for the 3 clones skill, i will have to train on it before put it into use" Kwasi muttered as he leaped of the ground into the air and let out his wings and flew away, heading to the village at a high speed.

The village was warped by fire and dead bodies were burnt into ashes. Countless bodies lie on the ground lifeless, others, on their kness. Not only humans dead bodies, but also, dead bodies of Beasts, such as the hairy wolves, three headed tigers, evil foxes and an evil giant bird.

Kwasi stood stunned as he looked at the village, which once use to be a joyful place, now into a destroyed place. Both children and grownups were killed, and it could be told that they were killed by beasts; marks of beasts were drawn on the dead bodies of humans. And even, some bodies were rotten.

Kwasi walked slowly around the village, looking for his grandma with a broken heart. After looking for her for half a minute, he saw a piece of cloth of his grandma on the ground. Tears filled in Kwasi eyes as he bent down and took the piece of cloth. "Grandma" he said softly as he raised up his head. To his far right lie the dead body of the old-man who asked him questions about who he is and where he was coming from. And to his far left, lie his grandma's dead body. Kwasi quickly stood up and run to dead grandma, her corpse, rotten. Tears rundown Kwasi's cheeks as he knelt down to grandma's dead body and cried butterfly, "aaaarrhh!!" he screamed.

Some minutes later, after Kwasi has burried the dead bodies, and sat behind his grandma's graveyard for sometime, he teleported to atop of the mountain where he first saw his grandma and was told the story of his babyhood, looking up to the bright Sun as he walked forward. "Fate?. It's about time we strive to change something" Kwasi muttered, as he turned his head and said, " grandma,Mama, i will avenge you", letting out his vibrant yellow and aquamarine series of elongated wings, looked forward and jumped into the sky flapping his wings and flew away.
