7 What Kind of Grandma

"Why are you here in this cave? What about the beast just now?"

Henry immediately asked without giving Zumen a break to take a breath.

"Let me explain it"

Yug came forward and began his explanation

"The beast which you saw is not a beast at all,

it was just a petal of the guardian of natural relic lotus

which transformed itself into the beast,

and this cave is where the natural relic lotus resides and.."

"So you two stupid greedy masters arrived here to hunt down a natural relic"

"Stop kidding, do you think natural relic is any cabbage such that anyone can pluck it?

screw that, In the whole history, only five people were able to get natural relic each"

"Then you guys are such brainless fellows who do not know life from death"

"You moron, we are here to practice "

"Practice? what kind of practice do you great masters need?"

"Of course we are preparing for the champion league"

"Champion league? what is that?"

"You bumpkin, you don't even know that? The champion league is..."

"Yuggggg"

Zumen shouted loudly and interrupted the conversation.

Yug who lost his coolness regained his composer after hearing that shout.

"Sorry brother that information is available to only Battle Masters"

Zumen explained himself.

"Ok, I understand and earlier you fought with only a petal of guardian, so is natural relics got guardian?"

Henry's mind actually bugged with this question.

"Not guardian but guardians we don't know the exact number but we are currently facing the weakest one"

"I see then why hell are you guys wasting your time here? let's go and defeat it"

fuckkk you are the one keeping us here all the time Yug wanted to say it loud but thinking twice he swallowed his words.

"We are waiting for our teammates"

"No need to wait any longer, We are here"

a famine voice sounded,

A beautiful girl looked to be in her 20's with a face looked like jade and slim waist appeared,

she carried Iron bracelets in her hands, and wore mini blue dress revealing her slim legs,

next to her, there was another girl,

but she covered her face with a mask and wore a black frock covering her entire being, she carried a bow,

and did not look like anything special from a single look,

but somehow she felt familiar to Henry.

Henry recognized her but pretended to not to know her,

there was also a man who revealed his muscled upper torso but had metal gloves covering his palms.

"And this is?"

pointing towards Henry the beautiful girl asked the duo

"I am their partner and my name is Henry, pleased to meet you"

Henry introduced himself.

Fuckkkk when did we become your partners? what the hell are you saying?

yug and Zumen inwardly cursed.

looking at Henry and his attire and duo, the beauty did not reply to Henry but said

"I did not know that you had such hobbies"

"Aloo, listen to us, this is misunderstanding"

Zumen wanted to justify himself

"Yes, Aloo"

Yug supported Zumen

"You guys don't need to worry, I don't mind such things neither other fellow mates"

while saying these words she glanced at both Yug and Zumen beside her.

they nodded in return.

"Aloo, please listen..."

"Zumen, stop blabbering we are getting late, let's go and defeat the guardian"

the muscular man shouted and these people moved further in"

"Henry!! what the hell did you say?"

Zumen could not handle his rage anymore and shouted out.

"I said we are partners, aren't we? we are about to go and defeat the guardian so that makes us partners right?"

Henry reasoned.

"You.."

Zumen could not think of any words to reply

"But people will misunderstand"

Yug joined.

"They are nothing but fools if they misunderstand."

Henry said.

Yug could not find any other words to refute and uttered

"Let's follow them"

The trio slowly started to follow them.

after taking some unknown amount of steps the group rejoined,Aloo once a while began to look at Henry.

"What's wrong sister Aloo?"

"It's nothing March Butterfly, it just feels like I have seen that dress somewhere"

March Butterfly shuddered to hear this and said

"Don't think too much, there are many similar dresses out there"

"Maybe you are right, but still it is looking very similar, let's forget about it for now"

The group travelled for a while before halting in front of a white looking lotus,

Henry on their way came to know all their names March Butterfly, Aloo, Zumen, Yug and Diode.

"Prepare for the battle"

Aloo warned

"Charge "

the group moved near to the white lotus leaving Henry a little back.

Henry began to observe them.

Zumen was the first person to move towards the lotus

"Ultimate Defence"

Zumen activated his ultimate move from the beginning itself,

while Yug and Aloo hid behind him,

March Butterfly placed herself in a quiet safe place, she lifted her bow and shot a normal arrow.

sensing approaching arrow the lotus flew in the air and released a petal in the direction of the arrow.

the petal and the arrow collided,

the arrow broke into two halves while the petal moved straight at March Butterfly,

March Butterfly reacted quickly and dodged the petal

meanwhile, Zumen arrived near the lotus,

the lotus as if saw Zumen, dug through the ground with the long roots

soon long white roots tore the ground and arrived near the Zumen with full force.

Zumen stood there without moving, using his shied he protected Aloo and Yug

And March Butterfly continued her long-range attacks

one hit, two hits, three hits...

Zumen stood there as the roots him various times.

Two roots approached at him simultaneously,

Aloo held the two bracelets, each in one hand

as soon as the roots hit Zumen, they began to retreat

Aloo dashed forward and put the bracelets on the tips of two roots.

after placing the bracelets, Aloo shouted

"Lock Down"

two chains emerged from two bracelets, the two chains met a certain point and joined together.

when chains connected the roots stopped moving

not only the roots but also the lotus,

it is as if lotus paralysed,

but that was not the case because the petals of the lotus paused in mid-air

they neither fell down nor moved front or backwards.

It stopped the time of the lotus

Henry concluded.

Henry got astonished, but others did not.

Taking the opportunity Diode, who was hiding all the time appeared beside the lotus,

and started punching lotus in madness.

"Rapid Boost"

the metal gloves of Diode enlarged boosting his punches

"tum"

"tum"

with every punch, there sparks flew,

soon others also approached the immovable lotus and started hitting it.

"Awesome"

Henry praised.

it looked as if the lotus was about to taste defeat on the surface,

but without any sign

the immovable lotus began to emit grey light creating a strong repelling force

the light spread in form arcs to every corner of the place

"Aaaaaaa"

Along the grey arcs repelled everyone back,

the lotus began to float much higher,

it became aggressive in attacks,

the roots were hitting them from all directions without any rest.

Only two people were exempt from this assault were Henry and March Butterfly.

March Butterfly did not stand idle, she held her bow and put an arrow into it while releasing the arrow she shouted

"Fire Arrow"

the arrow began to burn,

it did not disintegrate instead carried the firepower towards the lotus.

the descending fire arrow as it hit something in air repelled back towards her

"Ice Arrow"

March Butterfly launched another but this one emitted coldness.

"furrrre....."

the ice arrow collided with the fire arrow and neutralized it.

seeing that March Butterfly could not do anything

"Over, it's over.....we are gonna die"

Aloo uttered the words in despair.

"tum,tum,tum"

Diode was still resisting the attacking roots with punches.

Seeing Aloo in despair Diode shouted

"Don't give up"

The silent Henry finally acted with the words "You still have the chance to defeat it, so don't give up"

Listening to Henry, Aloo felt disdain, she said

"You creep, you don't know anything, how can we win when we can't even escape from here".

"You can, if you follow my instructions, give it a try, either way, you do not have other choices"

Henry's words filled with a sense of persuasion.

"sis Aloo, let's do as brother says"

Zumen who is along yug defending the right side of Aloo supported Henry.

"Zumen, how many more times can you use ultimate defence?"

Henry asked.

"Two"

Zumen replied.

"More than enough.

Yug you focus only on observing air such that you can create a dense and powerful tornado,

Diode prepare to use your most powerful punch,

March Butterfly distract the lotus with your arrows and use only normal arrows "

Henry gave orders after orders

"Zumen jump up and use your ultimate defence"

Henry ordered.

"Ultimate Defence"

Zumen jumped.

Spherical yellow-coloured shield formed around him.

The shield was not same as previous one,

It tapped Zumen inside it, unlike the one which covered him but did not tap him inside.

To be more precise, assume him as currently in inside of a ball.

"Diode use your most powerful punch on Zumen"

Henry shouted.

"Great Smash"

the glove of diode became much larger but the movement speed and attack speed of the diode did not decrease at all

"zzzzzzzzz"

sparks flew as the punch hit the sphere,

the sphere flew straight forward towards the direction of the lotus.

As the sphere began to decrease the distance between itself and lotus,

Zumen felt that he broke through many barriers which exerted repulsion.

As Zumen broke the barriers he felt that he was slowing down,

finally, he could not move further,

and his shield scattered he was repelled backwards into the air.

"Yug"

Henry called him without any order,

but Yog knew what he should do

"Supreme Tornado"

A giant air tornado formed, this tornado was much larger and denser than the previous one.

Zumen was injured, and was bleeding because of the repulsion force,

Zumen thought that it was over, he thought he would crash into the ground.

Contradictory to his assumption,

his body dragged into an air tornado,

and was spinning inside it.

"Diode enter the tornado and be ready to use your full-powered punch when I call you"

Diode while dodging the roots jumped into the tornado was also spinning in it.

"Aloo, take your bracelets, be ready to use lockdown on yug when I call you"

while saying,

Henry threw the bracelets to Aloo, he picked them up when large repulsion took place.

"Aloo now"

Henry called out.

"Lock Down"

The tornado stopped rotating and diode found himself at the back of Zumen

"Zumen"

Henry called out.

understanding Henry, Zumen immediately summoned his ultimate defence

"Diode"

"Great Smash"

Diode charged at Zumen

"Unlock him"

Henry said with a loud voice.

Aloo understood and unlocked Yug,

the air began to spin again at the same time a yellow meteor emerged from the tornado and dashed towards the lotus.

Zumen who was in the centre of storm felt no pressure this time to break through barriers, he overjoyed.

Zumen's silhouette neared the lotus without any difficulty,

he took out his rod and held it,

when he appeared in front of the lotus, he pierced it with the rod.

the repulsion barriers were all broken by Zumen.

The scene was shocking enough to make Diode, Aloo and Yug to immovable.

"March Butterfly use fire arrow now"

Henry ordered.

"Fire Arrow"

a red-coloured a fierce arrow flew in straightway towards the lotus.

when the arrow hit the lotus, it dropped to the ground.

"What are you guys waiting for?"

Henry brought these lost minds into reality.

Diode was first one react, he cleared his way to the lotus by punching the roots aside,

the other members followed him to in fighting back.

with full assault from the team the poor lotus,

who lost it's most precious power the repulsion field could not strike back.

It finally fell and vanished.

"Fuckking guardian see your daddy is the one who defeated you"

Zumen cried out in happiness.

Among all the member the happiest one was none other than Zumen ,

and also he was the one whose injuries were more severe than anyone else.

At the same time

"Congratulations Battle Masters Aloo, Diode, Zumen, March Butterfly and Yug from team Sahara for successfully defeating a guardian of natural lotus relic"

A voice sounded all over the world.

In city Palamuru, In an inn a man was drinking alcohol all of a sudden he spat out alcohol.

"fuck did I hear wrong?"

"What the hell are you doing ? clean that thing"

The manager of the inn was raged.

"Wait? have you heard the battle tower announcement just now?"

the man asked.

"Of course I did, team Sahara defeated a guardian"

the inn manager was smiling while he said it.

the man still had confused look, seeing the confused look, the inn manager

sarcastically showed a screen projected from a badge placed in his palm projected horizontally.

"look here"

He pointed on the screen which showed team Sahara and information about each individual in it.

"not there, here"

the manager pointed his finger at a specific paragraph where it is written team Sahara, the Palamuru city.

"Haha, they are from our city, It has been 7 years since a team defeated a natural relic guardian from our city".

The manager was proudly saying it out.

"So clean the mess you made and get out of here, we are expecting more customers here now"

the manager had change of expressions as he said.

"You want me to clean, go to hell"

The man broke the wine jar on the table, he stood up and walked out

"Hmm...that was close"

With a deep breath, the man spoke to himself

"How the hell did they do it? I just sent them there to make them know about the reality,

but it turns out that I don't know much about their strengths at all,

whatever be the case when they come back I would ask them myself"

the man smiled and walked away.

In the cave

Aloo still couldn't bring herself to believe that they won.

After hearing the battle tower announcement she yelled out while leaping into the embrace of March Butterfly

"We won"

"We really won"

"We defeated a guardian"

"Yes, Sister"March Butterfly confirmed.

"Yeah, we won it's all thanks to brother...."

as Yug said the sentence he looked for Henry and could not able to find him

"Where did the brother Henry go?"

Henry slipped away while they were celebrating as he accomplished his task of getting the clothes back ,

He got to return to the village gave them back to that damn old man.

As Henry approached outside he saw another scene this was not that shocking as the one he saw just now but nonetheless it was still shocking

he saw a group of kids and a cat trying to fight back with a bear.

A few moments before Henry came out of the cave, the entrance of the cave was strictly guarded by the little devils Buntoo, Zen, Redlap, Timmy and Ivar

"Boss the pervert is taking so long to come out, we should go back to home first"

Redlap lost his patience after waiting for hours outside the cave and expressed his opinion.

"Redlap, you don't have even an inch of patience, don't you understand it's that leecher's plan as he is afraid of us and especially the boss so he could come out"

Buntoo rejected Redlap's suggestion

"Boss run...run"

Timmy came back running after he went out to take care of private business while

shouting as if he saw something

"Bea...."

Timmy was so afraid that he could not even complete the word.

But Timmy did not need to explain it

"Roarrr"

a bear was running towards them

out of nowhere Ivar appeared beside them and pushed Zen, Timmy back and

said

"Run, I will handle the bear"

Timmy was the first one to run without looking back,

Buntoo hesitated but soon he did also ran away,

Redlap waited there for the decision of Zen.

"No, I won't be running away leaving you to die"

Zen decided to stay back and Redlap approved it.

"Ivar, let's fight it together to death"

Zen picked up a rock from the ground and threw it at the bear

"You wild animal, come and fight me I am the brother of a battle master, Don't run away now"

and provoked it.

Responding to Zen's provocation the bear changed his target,

and ignored Ivar moved towards Zen.

"Seeing the bear rushing towards him, Zen panicked"

no matter how high and brave he acts Zen was nothing more than a 6-7-year-old kid.

"Meow"

a cat jumped on the head of the bear barely saving Zen

"Kitty, run away you can't defeat him"

Zen played with the cat when Henry was

unconscious he had developed quite the relationship with the cat.

"Meow Meow"

the cat showed it's rejection as it continued to scratch bear

"Roar"

The Bear lifted his and pushed the cat away and in anger, it jumped directly towards Zen.

The panicked Zen fell to knees and was crying and finally closed his eyes as the bear came near and near

"You ok"

Henry asked Zen

Zen opened his eyes,

but he did not see the bear instead,

found himself in the embrace of a man who was wearing women's clothes and when he saw the face of the man he shouted

"You pervert, what did you do? where did you get these clothes from? you lecher I knew you were not good".

"Cut the crap take these clothes and run back to the village"

Henry said while he handed the clothes to Zen.

"These clothes"

"No, I don't want to go"

Zen refused

"You have to even if you don't want to go"

Henry said.

While pointing at Redlap and Ivar Henry ordered

"Take him and scram back to the village"

Henry put Zen down and threw a marble towards the bear while retreating a little bit deeper into the forest

"Roar"

The animals are simple, so they followed Henry.

Redlap and Ivar grabbed Zen and ran towards the direction of the village.

Henry observed that he did not get much energy left,

so he climbed the nearby tree after moving little deeper into the forest

"Roar"

"Roar"

as the bear could not climb the tree it roared while trying it's best to climb the tree,

the after effect was instead of climbing it is pushing the tree

The tree is falling, What kind of strength this brainless animal got?

Henry cursed at the same time he appreciated his decision of not fighting on the head-on.

"Phat"

The tree broke along the tree Henry did also fell down, The bear was almost on Henry.

Henry seemed to be helpless. When the bear opened it's mouth to eat off Henry

"Eat this"

Henry threw sand then he held a little sharp branch of the fallen tree and moved them towards bear's eyes

the edge of both branches almost approached bear's eyes,

but suddenly Henry fatigue reached its peak after running several times.

he felt that he could not even move a single finger, he fell with a roar

"Damn, my body is so fragile".

"Roar"

the bear roared and as usual, it opened it's mouth

"looks like today is your day"

Henry said.

"Shh...."

an arrow pierced through the bear's neck, the bear fell down lifelessly.

Henry was beneath it but he could see the arrow and there was a note attached to it and on the note

"Don't you dare to die, shameless bastard, before I kill you?"

---- March Butterfly.

Henry put up a smile then he fainted.

In the faraway mountain, a small group consisting of five people were moving

"Wow, you saved brother Henry, such a long-range attack and such a precision"

Zumen praised March Butterfly.

"Oh, by the way, why did you save him none of us able to recognize him from the distance between us, how were you able to?"

Diode asked.

"Nah! I just know it's him"March Butterfly did not explain.

"wait!! I remembered "

Aloo jumped up and down in excitement

"Sister, what happened what did you remember?"

Zuma's curiosity piqued.

"I remembered that the clothes that guy was wearing, aren't they yours?"

Aloo asked March Butterfly

"Mine? no, they are not mine" March Butterfly refused to accept but her cheeks turned red.

Zumen &Yug recalled the story Henry said after meeting them then they immediately questioned at the same time.

"Sis March Butterfly, don't tell me you were that grandma? that kind of grandma?"

March Butterfly displeased as they compared her to old women but still, she asked

"Which grandma? what kind of grandma?"
