Chapter 48: Igyeo

"Yuck..."

Primo had a scowl on his face looking at his uncle and the chief of the grizzly tribe.

"One day you'll also find the woman of your dreams. It may seem cheesy for you to see your uncle and Marelda. But one day you will also be in that position."

Lenta ruffled Primo's hair. She was still clueless that her three children ventured to the forest.

"Yeah, I'll find someone like that in the future. But I'll make sure she wouldn't have your personality bleh!"

"T-That kid! Come back here!"

"Hehehe"

Primo was running away from his angry mother with ease. He had a smile on his face happily running away from Lenta.

That night, everyone in the village had an amazing time. Each drank wine, and some were even shocked to see two from different tribes express their love for one another.

As soon as morning came, the rabbit warriors were with the other wolf's men. They were all receiving tasks from Dux to build their homes.

The first thing they did was to destroy their huge wall to expand. As such the wolf and the rabbit Beastmen commenced their build!

Everyone in the village was trying to build many houses for the new people in their village. The pregnant females were with the female wolves, even though they were pregnant they were learning how to sew for their children's future clothing.

The men and women of the rabbit tribe are now wearing comfortable clothing, the children were also cleaned up and are currently in the fields.

Everyone was working hard.

Meanwhile Primo was with Igyeo.

"U-Ummm is this safe Primo?"

Igyeo was shivering holding a wooden axe.

"Come on Igyeo, the goddess said that you have formidable reflexes and agility. That's why I want you to be my sparing partner!"

"But...this is dangerous!"

"Duh, that's why you're holding a wooden axe. I'll use my aura and try to hit you, I'm sure that you can dodge my attacks right?"

"Umm dodging I don't know If I can..."

"Stop whining like a baby! Come on, aren't you from a tribe that has fast reflexes? I'm sure you can easily dodge my attacks so let's go!"

"I-"

"Ugh..."

Without even listening to Igyeo's mutters. Primo started moving, he wasn't holding any weapon and only had his bare hands. Primo covered both his hands with aura as he proceeded to attack.

"U-Umm this is getting dangerous Primo! I think we should stop!!"

"Nope!"

Igyeo kept on evading the attacks jumping backward while doing his best to not get hit by the sheer strength of Primo's fists.

Primo was hyped up seeing the fast reflexes of Igyeo.

"Truly you are a tribe blessed in your reflexes!"

"Um, we should stop now this is getting too dangerous Primo!"

Primo didn't waver, instead, he kept on throwing punches without listening to Igyeo's complaints. Primo started enveloping his feet with the red aura as he kept on advancing.

Igyeo didn't want to hit Primo at all. Not only that, but he considered Primo as a friend. Igyeo would never think of hurting or even landing a hit on Primo.

But as he kept on avoiding the attacks, Primo's punches started getting fast especially since Igyeo noticed that Primo had enveloped both his legs with the red aura to match his speed.

'I don't want to do this...'

"Come on try to hit me! Don't tell me you would only evade my attacks right? Come on Igyeo start attacking!"

At that moment when Primo swung his fist, Igyeo stretched out his leg to sweep Primo off his balance.

"I-I'm so sorry for this Primo!"

Primo lost his footing and he started to fall on the ground. But at that moment, Primo stretched both his hands on the ground to flip his body.

Primo who regained his footing glanced at the scared look on Igyeo's face.

"Jahahaha now that's what I want! Oi, let's continue!"

"B-But I don't want to!"

"Stop being a crybaby, your mother would be ashamed raising a wuss like you!"

Primo rushed and clenched his fist. He was going for a killer blow.

"Take this!"

As Primo's fist was getting closer to Igyeo's face, suddenly Igyeo's body flickered, and even Primo couldn't catch a glimpse of Igyeo's body.

Bang!

Primo's fist landed on the tree.

"Oi, you can do that? Why haven't you shown such trickery earlier?!"

Primo tried to pull his hand away from the tree, but due to the pressure and powerful blow his hand got stuck.

"Eh? It's stuck?"

Whoosh

All of sudden out of nowhere, Igyeo's feet moved with fast reflexes, he was aiming for Primo's head.

Primo's senses tingled and in a split second, Primo dodged the attack and managed to pull his hand away from the tree. Primo flipped 2 times to give a certain distance between Igyeo and him.

Igyeo's foot collided with the tree.

Bang!'

Igyeo's feet had massive prowess and the tree got cut.

"What the..."

"Take that back! Don't you dare speak ill of my mother!"

Igyeo was holding his tears with hatred on his face.

But instead of apologizing, the thrill made Primo excited. Primo put his hand on his chest, he could hear his heart thumping like crazy. his blood boiled in excitement and Primo felt a surging energy in his body.

"Say that your sorry! And I'll let you go!"

"Wow, the wuss is threatening me? You know what I bet your mother would feel ashamed raising a child like you! A wuss who's afraid to fight!"

Whoosh

Suddenly Igyeo's legs were right in front of Primo. Primo could feel that Igyeo was thinking of killing him, the sheer hatred and the intent to kill, instead of being scared Primo once again felt shivers and excitement.

Primo ducked his head and in a split second managed to evade the attack. The force and pressure of the attack even caused the air to form a slice shape. Primo who ducked clenched his fist and was aiming his fist covered in aura on Igyeo's stomach.

All of a sudden, Igyeo flipped his body in the air while his hands were holding onto Primo's shoulder.

In that split second, Igyeo and Primo's eyes locked one another.

Igyeo's eyes filled with hatred. Meanwhile, Primo's eyes filled with excitement.

Igyeo held Primo's shoulders as he flipped his body.

'He's going to lock me...'

Primo smiled and held both Igyeo's hands which were on his shoulders.

"No, you don't!"

Primo using his aura tried his best to inflict pain on Igyeo's hand so that Igyeo could let go.

"Jahahaha! I'm not that easy to beat!"

"You'll pay for what you said!"

Meanwhile, someone was looking at them both with interest. It was Ali, Igyeo's father.

He was intensely watching the fight between the two. Even Ali was bewildered seeing such might between two children.

"That child. He's the son of the chief of the wolf tribe, and yet he has such amazing prowess..."

"No the three children have amazing prowess, the second child could heal many critical wounds, although I don't know what prowess the third had, just the two siblings alone are already powerful."

Ali was the one who managed the training of the rabbit men warriors. He was the second strongest of their tribe. He was also one of the first creations of their goddess Lux.

His wife was from the second generation created by the goddess. But unlike the other female rabbits, she was much weaker and had trouble even standing up and walking for a few minutes.

While the others had their children, Ali was thinking of his wife's body and constitution. Due to her weak body, Ali knew that his wife would have trouble giving birth to their child.

As such in 15 years of them being together they never once had a child. But as years passed, Kira yearned for a child.

Although Ali was reluctant, with her wife who was wanting to build their family he accepted.

They managed to have a child together.

Igyeo was supposed to have three other older siblings, but sadly the three died. The youngest and the smallest Igyeo managed to survive.

But after giving birth, Kira's condition started to take a toll on her body. For two years, Kira was bedridden.

Ali recalled a memory he had buried for so long.

On that day.

Ali was finished with his patrol and decided to rest for the night, as he entered the house. He found Igyeo asleep on their bed, meanwhile, Kira was looking out of the window.

"Hon, what's wrong?"

"Al..."

Kira was thin that her bones could even be seen. Her once radiance and beauty were gone.

"I think the goddess is calling for me..."

"Don't...Don't say that.."

"I had a dream. A peaceful dream in which I was inside this beautiful palace. The goddess was there standing with open arms. Al...I can feel it, my body it's starting to wither...The goddess is calling for me Al..."

"I...."

At that time, Ali couldn't say anything. They had believed in the goddess for so long. Ali always questioned why the goddess would give his wife such illness and pain.

"The goddess isn't real, that was a dream, Kira, it wasn't real..."

"But...I can feel it...I coughed up blood after I woke up, not only that I'm slowly losing control of my feet...My hands they're starting to lose strength. Al..."

At that time, before his wife passed away. Ali had a massive fight with her, he didn't want to admit that his wife was dying, and he didn't want to accept the fact that his wife was leaving him.

That night, Ali stormed off their home. The next morning he came back, the only thing that greeted him was the corpse of his wife.

Regret, Guilt, and Hatred was the only thing Ali felt.

Igyeo looked exactly like his mother in many ways. As such Ali had trouble with looking after Igyeo, his guilt consumed him, and he started to build a wall.
