11 Ralf the Playful
Rael flew over mountains, rivers, cities, and villages as fast as he could with Ralph. Because there were growers capable of flying he could not be curled up. Finally he descended back to the starting point. Rael was much more conscious after talking to Violet, and at the same time curious.
When Ralf disappeared, returning to his body, he felt five people nearby, and his levels were within the fourth realm. Usually an ordinary specialist can not distinguish forces above a realm, but Rael could distinguish forces with up to two realms of difference, because of their element of darkness.
"Sérgio." Rael remembered the common aura.
At that moment the five appeared as figures, and stood in front of Rael grouped in line. Rael was not surprised, he was making a face of those who were already waiting for that.
"I finally found it, it's worth having looked for you so far. Said Sergio with a cold smile.
He knew that Rael had come to this region and then came to hunt him.
If everything about Rael was true, then Rael would be someone very important in the future and logically, Sergio could not leave him alive, because he would be giving wings to a potential enemy.
"So now you're going to attack me with four more people?" Rael asked in a casual tone, he did not appear to be afraid.
The four were all men of similar ages as Sergio. Two were on the same level as Sergio, another two were one level higher, and one was on the third level of the force domain.
"Do not talk shit, I'm just going to end up with rubbish like you," Sérgio said back, taking a few steps closer to Rael.
The companions behind him began to laugh, for they imagined that Rael would soon find his end.
"Seriously? Let's see how long you can keep those words." Rael looked back.
"Can I? You really are arrogant. Do not think that you will be protected by that little girl from the Torres clan, because he is not around. Hahahaha!" Laughed Sérgio. The others behind Sergio were laughing as well.
It was already getting dark, the sun was beginning to hide behind some mountains.
Sérgio lifted both arms close to his chest in a defensive position, then released his yellowish aura from his chest that ran down his shoulders, down his arms and finally reached his fists.
"Stone Handles Technique!" He shouted.
His hands were covered with aura and began to turn rocks. The rock encircling his hands made them appear to have grown in size almost three times.
"I took it with you last time, but it will not happen again. Sérgio held one of the closed fists in Rael's direction and released a cold smile.
The aura surrounding Sérgio's fists was slightly aggressive, shaped like sharp rocks.
The others behind Sérgio could not help thinking that now Rael would be completely crushed. They even expected Rael to use or prepare some technique, but nothing happened. With that they thought that Rael had even given up living.
"Are not you going to get ready?" Do not tell me you're scared? Sérgio asked waiting, he was giving Rael time for him to prepare some technique or even to draw a weapon.
"I'm ready." Rael said.
Rael was ready, his invisible aura racing around his body already in combat. But in the eyes of the enemies, Rael clearly did not seem to wear anything.
Rael's aura was dark and bubbling, but for some reason ordinary growers could not see or feel. To them Rael seemed to be using no power.
"If that's so, get ready to die!" Sérgio shouted and started up Rael like a figure.
Rael had nothing to do if he did not divert the blows to his face. Sérgio attacked from left to right with both hands and Rael continued to defend and step back step by step.
For a moment they were all shocked, because Rael's speed in dodging was shocking. Until...
PAH!
When everyone noticed, Sérgio was flying a few feet and fell to the ground.
Rael had his left leg stretched out in the air and gradually below. Sergio had been kicked in the same spot as last time, on the right side of the ribs, he got up from the floor gritting his teeth, he was furious.
Sergio's companions looked at each other in confusion, no one had understood what had just happened.
Was it possible for someone from the second kingdom to hit someone in the room? Clearly not, not even for one in the third, but there was Rael doing it.
They did not know that Rael was in the third kingdom, but if they knew, they would be shocked by almost the same amount.
"You're looking for death!" Roared Sérgio furioso and expanded all his power, this time he was not going to underestimate Rael.
Sérgio started in a new sequence of blows, his speed was increased and his power of attack as well.
Then, once again, he was forcing Rael back in a barrage of incessant punches.
Rael continued to dodge with some effort, which surprised Sérgio, who did not believe, was that Rael apparently was able to dodge with some ease.
Sergio's teammates believed that Rael was only lucky in the beginning, and that this would not happen ...
PAH!
Once again, Sergio was on the floor. The hitting spot had been the same right rib region again. For the third time in a row.
Sérgio got up impatiently. His eyes shone with deep anger. He completely lost his temper. He made a pose where the right foot stood forward in an almost crouched position and once again released energy from the chest surrounding both legs.
"Earth movement!" His body was covered by an even more intense yellow aura that was much larger in the legs.
Then he removed a sword from a long, slightly curved hand from the bracelet. He clenched his hands in the bluish hilt and ran toward Rael without warning.
Rael was humiliating him in front of his clanmates, and that was completely unavoidable. Sergio's aura covered the blade, increasing the attack power in the middle of the race.
ZUM!
As lightning the sword cut in the direction of Rael's chest, he dodged jumping to the side with enough effort, the speed of Sérgio had increased once more.
Rael never thought his limit would be easily reached by a thirty-year-old grower. One more attack and another forced avoidance.
Sérgio felt that Rael was slowing down, he knew that now it would be a matter of time before he caught him and divided him in two.
Sérgio's other companions were amazed, Sergio was using his technique of movement and sword, so he definitely wanted to give Rael a quick end.
ZUM!
ZUM!
ZUM!
Sérgio did not stop attacking and Rael had no space to counterattack, he barely had time to dodge.
Then in the midst of the motions, Rael stepped in a fake when he dodged, and eventually fell. Sérgio spread a smile from tip to tip on his lips as he clenched his teeth. He made a psychopathic expression.
"Die at once!" He shouted at Rael, who had just fallen.
When Rael noticed, he had no reaction. But his right arm quickly took the lead of the attack by himself moving alone.
Everyone could see the sword coming down, and Rael tried to defend the attack with his arm. He certainly did not want his arm any more, it was everyone thought at that moment.
TUUM!
Everyone could hear the crash, it was like the sound of metal beating against metal.
Then that scene shocked them all, because there was Rael's arm holding the saber-shaking sword.
Sergio's eyes were wide. Rael was the fastest recovering, throwing the weight on his back and then propelled his legs forward.
At that moment Sérgio was so confused that he took a step back with his sword. This was the time Rael stood, lifted his left leg ...
PAAH!
Another kick in the same place and for the third time followed there was Sergio rolling.
The sword fell to the ground. Sérgio got up trembling, his teeth clenched, and his gaze was fierce.
Rael was humiliating him, not only that, he was purposely hitting on the same place all the damn times and hard, even if he did not break his ribs, that was clearly an affront.
Rael on the other side looked curiously at his arm, he knew that his right arm was stronger, but did not know that he could defend from attacks like this and moreover without suffering damage.
"You fucking son of a bitch!" Sérgio could not contain his anger and offended openly.
The right region of his ribs was now in a very uncomfortable pain. He ran and took the sword and covered it again with his aura. Rael was already standing there waiting for him once more.
Sérgio was annoyed, because he did not understand how Rael had defended his attack, nobody understood, his companions were looking at Rael, all with an explicit incomprehension.
That's why Sérgio hesitated before attacking again. Rael defend that attack with his arm. He had not dropped the plug yet, and he believed it was some kind of trick.
"Now, it's my turn!" Rael shouted and rushed forward with speed against Sérgio.
Sergio, who was already annoyed at being caught in the same area, already knew where Rael was going to attack. He prepared the sword defending the place, while holding it with both hands, and gathered energy in the place that had been struck several times.
He looked triumphant that this time Rael would not hit him.
In matters of a thought Rael was already facing him, so when he saw Rael's right arm move with a punch to his face it was already too late.
PAAH!
Sérgio's body flew back for several yards, blood and broken teeth were spreading through the air.
The punch had taken him completely from open guard, because he fully believed that Rael would hit the same spot as before.
"Sérgio!" The comrades shouted worriedly and ran to help.
Sergio groaned on the floor before finally extinguishing. The four of them turned with evil glances at Rael who was only twenty yards away. No one understood how he had overcome Sergio, except for the fact that Sergio underestimated him.
"Do not think we're going to let you out of here alive. Now that it has reached that point, let's all beat him to death! Roared one of the four.
Their bodies covered themselves with energy and the four of them simultaneously ran for the attacks. Rael had nothing to do but try to dodge. And he ended up taking kicks and punches because he could not avoid four at the same time.
"So that's my limit?" Pathetic. Violet was right about everything, 'thought Rael in agreement.
He was strong, but he would not be able to deal with those simple experts in the fourth realm. He had nothing to do but conjure Ralf in the midst of the attacks.
The four of them jumped back as a white light appeared in front of Rael.
Ralph appeared to take the place of the light, and at the same hour showed the huge teeth to the four, the sharp claws of his paws also appeared, his hairy tail was filled with thorns on the edge like a huge ball prickly. His white wings became all metal. The flying tiger came into full combat.
"What the fuck is that ?! Where did that come from!" Shouted one of the four already sensing the level of the beast.
Luckily Rael had been left alone with the four in a spot away from the city. If he killed them all, no one would know that Rael had a little friend of his with him.
Unlike growers, beast levels could be felt more easily, though not clearly. The cultivator could at least predict, whether the beast was weaker, whether it was at the similar level or whether it was stronger.
"Ralf is time to eat." Rael looked at the four of them. "Kill those four and do not let anyone escape. The order was clear.
All four realized, that huge beast with an intense killer aura. He was ahead of Rael without targeting him.
Upon hearing this, they sensed that something was very wrong. They who were unarmed, quickly drew their swords as they backed away, they did not want to face Ralph, for they knew they would not.
Ralph was a beast of Rank B. Only growers of the sixth kingdom onward would have any chance to fight it.
"Get back!" Shouted one of the four jumping back, and all the others jumped together.
Ralph advanced among them. To Ralph they were like turtles trying to escape.
The front one was blown to pieces by four sharp fingernails of Ralph, he did not even have time to prepare the sword to defend himself. While the pieces of it were still spreading, Ralph had already attacked the other two.
The second still in the air had the body split in two at the waist as the metal wing cut it.
The third on the side, had a similar end, his head was torn by the other wing of Ralph.
Only one remains, and when he gets to the ground, he has already pushed himself to escape as fast as he can.
He was completely terrified that he had seen three companions die in an instant.
Ralph lazily stepped forward and trampled him on the back, causing the man to be pinned to the ground.
The man screamed and struggled, he could not get away. It was as if a mountain was on his back, even breathing was a bit difficult.
Ralley stood there looking at Rael, now swinging his furry ass that had returned to normal, his expression was of the one who was joking.
"Your exhibit," he complained, approaching.
Ralph bared his teeth, grunting amiably as if he were bragging.
Noticing Rael's approach. The man trapped at Ralph's feet saw Rael as a hope.
"Young master! Save my life! Please! I will never dare to attack you again! Please! The man said desperately." His voice barely quit because of the difficulty in breathing.
"This is no longer my choice. Rael said back and stopped about ten feet from them.
Ralf took his paw off the man. The man thought he was being released and stood up with a little calm.
But the paw lowered once more, thrusting him into the dirt again.
Ralf stared at Rael with that stare, trying to tell Rael, that he could play as much as he wanted and it would not be a problem, while Rael had taken several strokes and was a little bruised.
"I'm still going to be stronger than you are, your tiger in a figa." Rael complained.
The paw was lifted again. This time the man did not curl up. He got up and ran as fast as he could. Five meters, nine meters, fifteen meters, twenty meters ...
"What do you think Ralph is doing?" Rael asked worriedly.
Ralf then jumped a strong wind and there it was, again the man sunk to the ground. Ralph looked back at Rael with that same expression of a cat playing and drawing wave.
"Young master! Please! Tell him to spare me! Please! Young master!" The man could do nothing but beg. Seeing that he had no chance to escape.
"We're leaving soon, so stop curling." Said Rael impatiently, looking at Ralph.
Rael knew Ralf liked to play and show off. Ralph was sad and turned to the man with an angry look, as if the man responsible for Rael's bad mood was the man. The man with his head turned sideways saw Ralph's eyes and despaired.
"Young master! Ple ... AAAAAhhh! "
At that moment Ralf pierced his back with the claws of the paw that held him, the wounds began to gush blood. Then he lifted it up in the air like an appetizer.
The man had already died, one of the claws pierced the heart. Keeping him spread in the air, Ralph began to devour him, tearing pieces from his body.
Seeing that Ralph was finally working seriously. Rael felt relieved, sat cross-legged and activated his special ability (Night Recovery).
Rael's body was wrapped in a dark green aura at the same time, but it was only possible to see the green aura. His wounds were small bruises and some larger ones. So it would not take long for him to make a good recovery on the body.
Sérgio was still on the floor. Meanwhile Rael continued to recover as much as he could.
After a few minutes, it was completely dark. A full moon shone in the open sky with few clouds. Rael got up, approached Sérgio.
At first Rael created confusion with the Asura clan, but he did not expect the enemies to be far above him.
After using Ralph to clear the mess, he felt he needed to back off a bit, just as Violet had said.
If it had not been for his strategy to make Sergio think he would attack the same spot every time, he would have won. That made him deeply disappointed.
Rael believed he was much stronger than that, and in the end his limit was still too low.
This fight had not been so bad, he also knew new capabilities of his arm that did not know, so he was not completely unsatisfied.
After a moment's thought, he considered ending Sergius, but if he did, the clan would continue in his clutch because they would have thought he would have ended them all. So all he had to do was use Ralf again.
Before that, he gathered all the bracelets Ralph had spit out and found some coins and a bunch of useless pills. He passed everything to his bracelet and then stored the empty bracelets in his.
Bracelets loaded, could not be stored in other bracelets. This generated a span of dimension and the two bracelets were destroyed together, taking all the stored items as well. But keeping them empty was not a problem.
Another thing worth adding, beasts do not eat bracelets. So Ralph ate the corpses but spat the bracelets.
Finally, when Sérgio awoke, he felt his face throbbing and his mouth vibrating with pain. He remembered Rael and moaned because he could barely move his mouth.
Only after a few seconds did he sit looking around and saw the torn clothes and the pile of blood strewn with bits of flesh and human skin.
That scene made his heart tremble. Suddenly a piece of clothing was spat coming down near his legs, it was one of the clothes of his clan, his dead friends.
Sergio looked in the direction and saw the huge flying tiger approaching slowly as he opened his mouth with his teeth.
Sergio immediately understood what had happened, his friends had all been devoured by this beast.
He used all his remaining forces and ran as fast as he could to escape. Ralph still chased him as Rael had asked for a few yards and then let him out.
When Rael saw Ralf coming down the desperate slope below, he stepped out of the shadow of the tree where he had hidden.
Ralph was coming back at him with his tail swinging and looking mission complete in his now excited expression.
"Now you have an excuse for your clan about what happened to you and your friends, so you can leave me alone until I can deal with you." Rael said, looking at Sergio still running.
Rael believed that Sérgio was not going to say that he lost to a mere youth of the second realm. The emergence of Ralph, would make him tell another story to maintain his own dignity. This would temporarily ward off Rael's problems with the Asura clan.
