Asher and his new followers start to make their way to the first village. Passing through the large forest, the pathway became more and more difficult; there were many stops for the weaker ones to rest.
Arriving at the village, Asher alerts his followers to stay silent; he will be the one to see the enemy's fighting capabilities.
Asher leaves the forest, sneaking behind trees, rocks, and everything to see how many enemies there are.
Asher can only see six enemies; three of them are far weaker than the ones they beat. Two of them match the strength of the ones in the town they just liberated. Asher could not calculate the power prowess of the last one; Asher estimates that he can be equal to or greater in strength than the man who caused them to struggle.
One of the enemies spotted Asher for a split second, deciding to go and investigate.
Asher decided to be extra quiet and sneak attack him. Hearing his footsteps getting closer, he grabbed a stick and infused enough of his strength to create a clean cut.
Slash
Asher manages to get a clean cut, destroying his vocal cords. Asher grabs him so as not to produce a sound. Covering his mouth, choking on its blood.
Seeing that he is now dead, Asher carefully lays him down on the floor. His black clothing and hands were now covered with blood, the ground absorbing the blood.
Asher checks to see if anyone is looking for him; after confirming that no one is looking, he decides to lure another enemy to make the battle easier.
No one came after Asher tried his best to give hints of his appearance; seeing that no one was close to him, he decided to stop waiting and start the liberation.
Go!!
Asher's screams caught the attention of the enemy and gave a clear signal to go and attack.
Asher and his siblings surrounded one of the enemies of similar strength; the others got the rest of the enemies, only leaving the uncalculated one, who was staying on the other side of the town with another enemy.
"Amadi, Dalia, let's finish this quickly," Asher commanded his siblings. "Dalia, you go left and I go right; Amadi, you go and find us strong sticks to attack." Asher showed the type of stick he wanted, and Amadi went to go and find more.
Fire
Asher and Dalia both activate their blessings; the smell of rotten meat starts to enter their nostrils. Asher's followers also start to activate their blessing, increasing Asher's power.
Boom!
Dalia starts the attack; the enemy starts to dodge. They are in a stalemate; Asher is waiting to find a mistake that the enemy might make to finish this fast. Asher decides that rather than wait, he is just going to create his own.
Slash
Asher saw the enemy lower his arms to land a body shot to Dalia, leaving his arm an inch lower than before, perfectly leaving his neck exposed to Asher's swift attack.
Asher sees his stick broken, part inside the neck of the enemy gasping for air.
Asher sees the enemy give a smile; Asher feels that something is wrong. "Run!!!"
Boom!
Asher feels his eardrums ringing from the proximity of the attack, trying his best to stand up and see where his sister is.
"Dalia!!" Asher calls for her to see if she is alive.
"Don't worry, I am fine!! Just alert the others. Dalia, with multiple fractures, tries to put her shoulder back in the spot.
Asher stands up only
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Asher starts to see explosions from where his followers are. Asher runs to one of them to see that most of them have a few broken bones, but no one is in critical condition. Asher sees the uncalculated appearance.
Asher sees how similar they look, having the same hairstyle; the only difference is his large eye bags with no eyebrows.
Asher sees Amadi appear carrying ten sticks he found before running to see what caused the explosion. Asher grabs one of the sticks, pats his head, and runs towards the enemy.
Asher sees how people start coming out of their houses to see the explosion only to see Asher running towards the enemy. Asher's followers start to explain what is happening and collectively cheer for him to grant him more power.
Go!!!
Asher feels a large surge of power enters his body; the entire world goes in slow motion, seeing how the enemy is standing still, accepting his attack.
Slash
Asher manages to land a perfect hit, cleanly cutting the enemy's head. Asher sees a switch before he can even react.
Boom!!!!
Asher is flung from the explosion, landing on a pointy stone, seeing the point passing through his body.
Asher can only look at his supporters as they start running towards him; everything he sees is in slow motion.
…
"Damn, he blew your dumb ass." K. sees that Asher is not waking up. "Hey idiot, wake up." Asher is still sleeping. "Uh, you are going back." Asher goes back into the real world.
…
Asher wakes up to see that there is no hole in his chest. Asher sees his sister crying, and the people around him are all shocked by his awakening.
"Hey, let's go for the next one." Asher stands up and jokes that they have to liberate the others.
…
The next day, Asher and his followers are ready to liberate others after a large party.
Asher goes to the forest near the nearest village to see how there are ten enemies. Asher feels very strong from his increments of followers.
Go!!
Asher orders his followers to go and attack, killing the enemies in less than thirty seconds.
"How did y'all get that strong?" Asher was happily confused to see how strong they became at such a speed.
Dalia looked at Asher and looked up. Asher immediately realized that it was K.'s doing.
"Let's go for another one!!" Asher lifts one of the enemy's swords glowing with his dark orange aura.
