CHAPTER 28 ::- First Retaliation ; Ambushed

"Now you know you are old bone." Obika said not giving him space for argument, ogbu agu could not say any word, Truly he is old just that he looked young do to his magic powers coming back.

"Old man don't refut me you look you yes but how old are you now. You see you are old bone." Obika added sailt to his injuries, Ogbu Agu thought of lashing out on him.

Especially giving him a sneaky blow to teach him a lesson. But as soon as he remembered the spirit staff that is so over protective, Than an over protective parents he gave up the thought.

Omalinze and Annene came close to the father and son, While others were busy talking about the result of the battle.

"Who won." Annene asked while omalinze chuckled and took the staff from obika. His physics gave him a keen eye sight which he use at any time.

He doesn't want to meddle the father and son matter, obika might go scot free but him is another story.

"You have your answer." Omalinze said nonchalantly boosting up ogbu agu mood. Ogbu Agu knew that omalinze has a keen eye sight, If not for the spirit taff obika would have been limping by now.

Annene mouth twiched side ways he pitied the old man for meeting such opponent. But ogbu agu thought otherwise as a veteran warrior.

He knew with obikas abilities the warriors strength will be boosted infact no one will question who ever he sided to become king of agbatu kingdom.

The staff vibrated when omalinze infused a tiny mana into the staff. The staff vibrated scanning his whole being to the tiny details.

His facial expression changed as he remembered when his body greedely absorbed wood element from the forest maiden. He remembered the consequence and fear greeped him.

"What?" Omalinze said in fear while obika became shocked as what is happening. He panicked reaching out to omalinze. Unknown to him that the staff has noticed his movement.

A translucent shield apeard from within the staff and covered omalinze. "He is my chosen master, Through him and through me shall we both unlieshe our powers and potaintials." A female voice rang out.

Omalinze hand holding the staff bleed and the staff absorbed it before the his hand healed. A beautiful girl of fifiten years apeard and the shield disappeared.

Omalinze exhaled a fowl air, He felt power coursing through his body. "Master am yours to command" She said before bowing and turned to a staff.

Everyone were shocked with mouth and eyes wide opened. "The staff has gained complet sentient and also accepted you as his master. She has seen something very great in you." Obika explained nonchalantly as if he has seen the world

Ogbu Agu gave him a knock on the head, "not bad not bad such great treasure in agbatu kingdom, with this we can stop abam warriors from invading our kingdom.

Everyone cheared in joy, he did this to shift any greedy eyes away from omalinze to there main goal.

Omalinze haven't tested himself after his breakthrough, He felt that his power has increased that he can do more damage in a lousy combat.

He walked out from the crowed and throw two punch in the air. The wind gave way swureling around with great momentum. The people gasped in great surprise. "Such power." One of the youghts said

Omalinze raised the staff up and slashed it horizontally which sent a fire condensed ark, it touched the walls of the compound and an explosion was let off.

This caused the house defence runs to come to life. Stoping any damage frome occuring. "Nice staff" Omalinze chucked as he commented and walked inside his hot.

Everyone shivered they all understand one thing which is omalinze's cultivation base is way higher than obika. So who ever thinks he can steal or take this treasure of his will face there death.

As the father and son began catching up. The news of omalizes bravery and hard work spreed like wild fire. The news of how he saved them in the forest till when he nearly gave his life for them.

Many were touched while some were grepeed with fear, they themselfs knew they can't survive in that forest for one minute.

They thought and imagined the power some should have to be able to defet a magical beast nearing his or her spirithood. The thought of it sent shivers down there spine.

They now believed that agbatu time to rise is near, Even a poor thinking man can read the hand writing on the wall.

Betwine the borders of agbatu and abam kingdom, Omalinze stood ontop of a gaint tree, That nearly approached the rank of an elder tree.

He looked from right to left to spot any movement with his spirit eyes. The area were surrounded by trees and forest with vines linking from one tree to another.

After few minutes has passed, He spotted twelve abam warriors dressed in a black leather armor made out of spirit beast skin. He watched them crossing the boundary entering into agbatu territory.

Omalinze blew a bird like whistle smiled as adrenaline began building while climbing down from the high tree.

Obika and the other warriors whom heard the bird like whistle gathered together. Omalinze joined them and gave them the information they needed.

"How many are they." Obika asked as his breast pups up and down in adrenaline. "They are twelve in numbers and they are heading our way." Omalinze answered.

Izunna thought for a while and gave his order. " Let's round them up and kill all, not even one will be spared." Obika looked at the youghts and nodded in acknowledgement.

They devided themselfs and dispersed in the into the bush at there assigned position. The twelve abam warriors walked as if they were the overlords of this lands.

"First brother spear head I thought the king should assigned more men to us." Bulls eye one of the core abam warriors asked. "As the disciples of black moon sect men should be assigned to us but the people here are weak."

"After the war they have no powerfull expert that can pose a threate to us. It's not like the southern province that are strong and have more powerful hidden experts." Spear head replied to him.

They thought that agbatu is still the agbatu they know before, But they are in for a surprise and they will pay the price for underestimating there enemy.

They were so careless in there enemy's territory do to they are not just abam warriors but core disciples of black moon sect. They prided themselfs for the strength and power they possess which they haven't seen there match.

Obika and some youghts came from there back while omalinze blocked there front stopping them from progressing forward. Spear head became startled as warriors of agbatu came out from the bush.

"How dear you block our path do you wish dea-" Before spearhead could finish his sentence, He was cut short by omalinze when he swung his staff.

Spear head was sent flying and his head crushed by the shear power of the staff.

"Ambush Ambush Ambush Retreat." Abam warriors shouted in alarm. It's already to late for them to excape, they were already surrounded.

Omalinze jumped into there mids and began swinging his staff left and right with great momentum. His legs hands and body working together like a dancer.

[Dance of the Mighty warrior] omalinze activated the inbuilt skill techniqu in the staff. And danced his way through the abam warriors

He was like the god of war recking havoch every were he goes with his staff bodies were sent flying. The youghts and warriors of agbatu kingdom including obika and izunna fell into daze.

They could see a god of war and a king battling demons for his peoples. His muscles were contracting and expanding as he execute the techniqu.

As the battle ended he pined the staff to the ground and exhaled a fowl air. "We should burn them to ashes brother." Obika whom came back to reality said.

Obika came close and released fire from his hand, it flew and kached onto the dead bodies burning them to ashes.

They became happy for there first retaliation victory, Not even words could explain there mood. They cheared for omalinze as warriors cries were echoing every were.

There victory today has now paved a new way for them, There confidence in themselfs and omalinze rose to the roof.
