Chapter 27

After Fares had finally done leaving the skin to absorb the brain-water mixture, it was almost nighttime.

The noise outside grew to another whole level. This lit up Fares' curiosity more and more.

"Azkar, what is the festival going to be like? I want to know more." Fares said as he sat on one of the rock chairs in the corner of the room.

Azkar finally snapped out of the weird stuff Fares was making. He shook his head to clear his thoughts and said "Basically they give the hunting party offerings, and say their goodbyes to the dead through a ritual."

"Hey, I have an idea. Since it is going to be a long time for the skin to get ready. How about we go outside and have a bit of fun"?" Fares asked excitedly. He wanted to take his mind off his current life.

As the saying goes in the US, all work and no play make Jack a dull boy.

"I cannot go with you, someone has to take care of Zena. And I am pretty sure that old man is cooking up something bad again." Azkar said remembering how cunning that old fox can be.

"Me! Me! I want to go out too. Sister Olga is back. I miss her so much." Mona said jumping up and down excitedly.

At the mention of the name, Fares remembered that she was Don's daughter. Whenever he tried to think of how she would look, he would end up thinking of orcs from an old manga he read as a child.

Fares shook his head to clear his head of such thoughts. 'It is bad manners thinking of people like that. Even if she looks… Orc-ish, she is good in her own"way.' He thought.

"Then it's decided! I'll take Mona with me to have fun for a while. While Azkar will stay here and protect Zena." Fares said clapping his hands.

Azkar sighed. He didn't mind, he was going to cultivate anyway, every moment counts.

"Yippee!" Mona said excitedly, but soon she remembered something.

"What are we going to give as an offering to the hunting team?" She asked, placing a finger on her lower lips.

"This." Fares said pointing at the lumps of meat on the ground.

"These are the meat of three Raptors. Each of us will give them one Raptor's worth of meat." Fares suggested.

He then proceeded to fetch some leaves and ropes from the inner room. After getting some, he put few meat slabs on each and tied them using ropes.

Good thing he already drained the meat from the blood, or else it would smell awful.

Throwing them over his shoulder, Fares turned to Mona who was watching him with interest, and said enthusiastically, "Let us go, or we will miss out on the fun!"

Mona had been startled a little, but still replied, "Okay."

After that, they walked out of the house to see people psyched up and rushing towards a certain direction.

They just went with the flow, and when they neared they almost could not take any more steps. The crowd of people was sandwiching them.

"I can not see anything." Mona pouted, her eyes almost tearing up.

Fares lifted her over his shoulders so that she could sit there with her tiny legs dangling on each side of his head.

Mona giggled a little and said, "This is fun."

Dummmmm~

Dum Dum~

They heard a loud rhythmic drumming sound coming from the distance and nearing their location.

"Look, look! Sister Olga is there." Mona shouted pointing at the distance.

Fares followed her tiny finger and was shocked out of his mind. He was not that shocked when he found that Olga girl to be a short hot petite girl with black hair and blue eyes. She also had a perfectly curvy figure for her size.

However, what shocked him most was the beast she was sitting upon. It was a T. rex, not just any T. rex, the same one that had him hiding in a hole up a tree.

It had deeps cuts running across its whole body, its eyeballs specifically were gone and out of the empty socket, blood came pouring down. The huge body had been tied to a cart with 4 rock wheels.

Fares was shocked by the sight, he never thought that the monster that almost took his life died, just like that.

'That woman is scary. Her energy alone gives me the creeps. I have to stay away from her.' Fares thought.

"Sister Olga! Sister Olga! Look here! It is me, Mona." Fares almost got a heart attack after hearing what Mona was saying. He was about to put Mona down and hide within the crowd, but Olga's sight and hearing were as sharp as an owl hunting through the night.

Turning her head to look in Fares' direction, she was surprised to see Mona. However, when she noticed who was lifting Mona into the air, her face turned cold as she stared Daggers at Fares.

Fares felt his body turn cold, this was the same feeling he got when he was on death's bed fighting the Alpha Raptor.

'What the hell is wrong with her? It is my first time seeing her. She isn't going to kill me now, is she?' Fares thought as chills ran up his spine.

"Mona, I think it is a good idea to leave now." Fares warned.

However, even before she could answer Olga stood up on the T. rex grabbing the sword beside her. The sword was a huge greatsword that was way longer than her height. It stood at 2.5 meters tall and as wide as her waist. It was black as the darkest night, but there was an orb placed at the edge of the hilt.

Still looking deadly in Fares' direction, she lowered her body a little and prepared to jump. Everyone standing near him dispersed in an instant, leaving Fares standing there frozen in fear.

It could not be helped, the full intensity of her bloodlust aimed directly at him.

In the next instant, she appeared behind Fares holding the tip of the sword to the back of Fares, between his two scapulae.

"Drop Mona down. Now!" She said in a cold voice, almost making Fares pee his pants.

'This was nothing like the alpha Raptor, with just one look I could be dead.' Fares thought as he slowly put Mona on the ground and raised his hands in surrender.

"Sister Olga, what is going on? Did he do something bad to you?" Mona asked innocently.

"Oh boy, that kid is dead. He just had to go and annoy Olga."

"I know, right? He has a death wish. Let alone annoying her, just making contact with her could get him killed."

"The ice Queen Olga. The hater of every male. No male ever got that close to her and got away in one piece."

The crowd started discussing while watching as if they were watching a movie. Luckily for him, Fares couldn't even understand half of what they were saying.

"W-what do you want? I already put her down." Fares talked slowly as he remembered the words Azkar taught him.

"What are you doing to Mona you perverted beast?" She said angrily.

"Sister Olga, he was just helping me watch your festival. We even got you offerings." Little Mona said cutely as moved towards Fares to take out the meat.

This made Olga tense up more and place the sword tighter to Fares' back, drawing some blood. Only after Mona returned with a few sacks of meat, did she relax ever so slightly.

Fares started to get irritated, 'What the hell is wrong with that woman? It is our first time meeting, and she just points her sword at me.'

He swore when he got stronger, that he will never let anyone look down on him again. Nobody would like random people threatening you for no reason.

Seeing the angry look in Fares' eyes, Olga smirked a little and put her sword down slowly. When its tip finally touched the ground, she threw a quick punch towards Fares' face, drawing blood out of his nose as he fell.

"Fucking bitch!!" Fares couldn't help but shout at her in Arabic, she has the gall to punch someone she just met without a reason.

He raised his head to look at her with anger clear on his face. "I'll fucking kill you." He said.

He has had enough already of this world. Why does he have to get hit, without even knowing why?

Fares got up quickly and went to throw a punch at Olga. She suddenly disappeared from his sight and appeared behind him aiming a chop at the nape of his neck.

Fares knew that he couldn't beat her anyway, but he still wanted to at least warn her and everyone else that he was not so easily bullied. He will not take any more bullshit from anyone.

He immediately ignited the air behind. However, this time he did not make fire, instead the air behind him compressed into a single energy ball. The next second, the energy ball blasted the area along with Fares as if it was a bomb.
