Dominance

The two fighting silhouettes were an Leshy and an Kira.

The one seemingly made of wood was the Leshy while the one with it's lower body part coated in fur was the Kira.

The Leshy's were known for their superiority in forests and anywhere where trees or wood was since they could use those as parts to replace missing limbs and control those like the originals. Their raw power also was no joke. They could go head on with an Ogre in terms of raw strength.

However, they weren't as agile as them since they had short legs. Although they could manipulate those, they wouldn't be able to contain the length of it for long, meaning, they would grow short again. In fact, they would always stumble when they were running on a way that wasn't evenly build.

Kira's however were known not for their strength or regeneration ability, but, instead, of their speed and ability to kill like the wind. They were able to hide their aura to a very good extend. Coupled with their ability to run on their toes at full speed, making nearly no sound while doing so, made them an extremely good assassin.

Hati was curious about why those two were fighting against each other.

'Are they fighting over who will be the boss for both races?'

He was puzzled when he heard the Kira screech loudly and disappear into its shadow.

There was the Kira's shadow moving on the ground and fusing with the shadow of its surroundings.

It was a fascinating sight to behold.The kira first fused with its shadow after the shadow fused with the surroundings and was invisible.

This was another trait of Kira's.

It seemed like he wouldn't find out about all the abilities of an beast when he finds their name out. He only got to know some superficial stuff.

He then saw the Kira emerge in the air on the ceiling.

The Lechy looked at its surroundings warily before sensing something from above.

It was too late though. The Kira fell onto the lechy and used its two daggers to cut the Lechy's arms off.

There came nothing out. No Blood and nothing similar to it either.

The Lechy looked ashamed and quickly grew slim branches to reattach them and swing its axe at the Kira.

The Kira easily dodged the swing.

But it couldn't didge what came after that swing.

The swing moved backwards and extended to a length that was in reach to hurt the Kira.

This was an ability that was no joke at all. One could win hundreds of battles against armies if used right. Hati immediately knew that.

He didn't really know why, but, he felt the need to watch them continue and thus hid his presence.

He continued watching them fight like before.

The back of the axe hit the Kira's chest and it got smashed against the wall.

It flew so easily because it weighed nearly nothing. The Lechy even hold back its strength to not hurt it too much.

The Kira then looked at the lechy, seemingly admitting defeat while sighing.

Hati then heard the Kira speak in a weird language.

"Your win. I won't lose next time though."

He could understand what the kira was saying. He couldn't talk its language, but, he could understand it.

It was the same for the Human he met in the desert and the situation with the Hobgoblin from before.

He could directly speak into their minds and they would understand him. However, he couldn't really "speak" the languages, just understand them.

It was strange he thought.

He then thought about what the Kira said.

'Doesn't that mean they do this regularly? But why?'

He then heard the Lechy answer the Kira.

"We will see about that when the time comes. It seems we've gotten a guest here now though. Let's keep the battle for being leader after we deal with it."

The Kira agreed "You also felt it? It was well hidden to be frank. I couldn't feel it at all during the fight."

The Lechy replied one last time "The guest doesn't seem too weak this time, you take your brothers and hide in the shadow until he comes."

"Fine"

The Kira told its brothers that they should start hiding now before the guest shows up.

Hati heard it all and chuckled.

'They must be thinking that I can't understand them at all! Hahahaha! This only makes it easier then!'

He slowly walked down.

He then saw the door closing after he went inside.

He saw the four Lechys in front of him, but knew that there were six Kiras surrounding him and just waiting for the chance to strike.

He heard the Leader of the Lechys say "Oh my, so, it wasn't a foolish Human? But how did you get through? Where are the ones guarding the floor above? Answer my-"

Before he could end his sentence he felt an killing intend that frightened him a bit.

He then heard a voice in his mind. Not just him though, it was every beast in that room, even the hiding Kiras.

"I Devoured them all. Any problem with that? I saw what they did to my kin and the other corpses. They deserved worse than what I did."

"Also, don't think that you can hide from me, you little monkeys. I can sense you all over the Place."

The leaders of both races were shocked to find out that Hati could sense the six Kiras. They thought that it may just be a bluff and that he had heard them say it before since it was in the beast language.

However, that thought quickly vanished when they saw him looking at the exact position of each Kira one after one.

'He wasn't bluffing. Shit, this might be dangerous! He seems very angry... did he really see his kins corpses in the food storage? I already told those idiots to only eat Human corpses! Those assholes!'

The leader of the Lechys thought, while feeling angry over his subordinates not listening to him.

He then spoke to Hati "Well, I am very sorry for you loss. I already told those idiots time and time again to stop eating animals, including the wolf race, could you be so kind as to overlook their mistakes and just go again?"

"While you may be strong against us in a one on one, we have the advantage of numbers here."

One of the Kiras threatened from the shadows.

Hati looked at the Kira that spoke and concentrated his killing intend onto it.

The Kira began to sweat and said nothing anymore.

It couldn't move at all. It was frozen into its spot like a plant.

The Kira wouldn't even be able to make use of its speed since it couldn't move the moment it looked into Hati's eyes.

Those eyes frightened the Kira. They wanted to eat him. Adding to the killing intend it felt, it was left horrified and defenceless.

Hati spoke into their minds again.

"I will only say this once, so, listen well."

"I will take annihilate you all if you won't listen to me"

"...…"

Silence followed for a few minutes before the leader of the Lechys spoke up.

"Hey, don't think that we're pushovers! We can also kill you, so, what makes you so arrogant as to dare say that when you know you're surrounded?!"

"I do not need to answer that. You will see the answer to your question if you deny me." Hati responded.

The leader of the Lechys and that of the Kiras looked at each other, asking themselves whether they should start fighting or not.

They knew that the enemy was strong. But they didn't know how strong he was.

They didn't know whether they could subdue him with their numbers alone since they couldn't measure his strength accurately.

They looked at each other sigh in unison.

They Decided to take the gamble and fight.

However, a few of their subordinates looked on, still showing hesitation.

These two races weren't like goblins and their evolutions.

They would betray each other for better gains. They would flee even if their families life was on the line. As long as they were able to escape from death's grasp, they would be fine with anything.

Hati knew that. This was exactly his plan.

He thought of this the moment he found out about this.

Hati wanted to create an seed of mistrust in his enemies line to have it easier while he was fighting the leaders of both groups first.
