The news of there victory has traveled to all the clans and villages in agbatu kingdom, They began celebrating while some were not happy because omalinze is now leading.

Ogbu Agu sat down beside mazi nanna both with a palm wine in there hand." You see your son is doing good He is a true leader and a one in a million king that I have never seen." Ogbu Agu commented.

Mazi nnanna looked so happy as his son is making him proud. " Well I don't know what happened to him but he just started cultivating magi not long ago and he has become powerful like this." He said.

Ogbu Agu looked at him and decided to clear his doubts. "Your son is favours by the earth goddess giving him the earthen sense and his physics giving him more boost than others in his cultivation base."

"Be happy for him, One day he will become the king of agbatu. I and my son will give him the support he needed." Ogbu Agu said and shipped his palm wine.

"I know there are others who want to see him fail. Those who wanted the throne for there personal benefit." Mazi nnanna said and siped his palm wine

He went into deep thought while ogbu agu scanned him from head to toe, he found out that as a mortal mazi nnanna is he is stressed to a dire point.

"I know you think your son should not be king but Mark my words if others take over the throne they will come for him and the cultivation resource your family has." Ogbu Agu paused as mazi nnanna absorbed the information.

"They will like to take everything from him and controll him, If I did died in the war agbatu would have been in torm oil. Thanks to the gods am standing today and I will give my support to make sure that agbatu and AGUDA rise agein." Ogbu Agu siped his palm wine.

His mood has already lightens up as the results of the training he has been giving the youghts have yielded a fruit today. As today is a joyfully day for some people, There are those whom are not happy.

These group of people are the ones who wanted to become king of agbatu. Each of them were in there obi coursing there luck and why has omalinze found favour in the eyes of the gods.

There bitter heart know no bounds as they vent there frustration in any way they can. There blood were running hot, If omalinze did this for his personal benefit they could have layed a bounty on his head.

They were scared of what agbatu people will do to them if they touch omalinze since he brought victory for agbatu kingdom.

In chief ogbuzulu compound every one was quiet except his coursing words could be heard. He nearly pulled off his cloths in frustration. He rained every course that is known to him on omalinze's head.

"How could you a child of yesterday dragging the throne with me. You don't know how to use the royal power." Ogbuzulu said as he paced around inside his room.

He went into deep thoughts thinking of a way to salvage the situation. 'what if I host a feast in honour of our victory and be more generous' Ogbuzulu thought

"Atainde me" Ogbuzulu said as he walked out of his room to outside. His personal servant came and greeted him.

"I want you to announce to the agbatu people that I chief ogbuzulu will be hosting a feast in honour of our victory today. Slaughter rams goats and cows and prepare feast in my compound and in the village market square. Am I understood." Ogbuzulu said.

"Yes" the servant answerd and left. He began dishing out task to every one while the messenger whom will announce his master wish is on his way.

Soon the news of chief ogbuzulu generos feast reached every corner of agbatu. This made other rich men in agbatu to respond with there own generos feast. Even those who are interested in the kingship were also fuming in anger.

The game has already begun as omalinze is leading them, Those who are interested in the throne secretly or openly began making there move to amass credit. They offered high cultivation resources or price for any agbatu warriors who kills more abam warriors.

At the Kings Palace of abam ibianour the king kept in pacing around in the throne hall. All the guards were on alert some were doing there patrol throughout the palace.

"What is there problem just a simple task they could not deliver." The king said in low voice, He sat down on his throne made out of murder earth.

Obi agu came in with two guards, They both knelt down with one knee. " Long live the king." They both said in unison as they bow.

Obianour acknowledge there greetings and signaled them to stand. "What did you find captin " The king asked obi agu. " They were Ambushed and non excaped." He replied fearing for his life.

The king blew up in anger and rages. "Who dare to challenge my warriors and the black moon sect disciples, who dare soill there blood." Obi agu knelt down as soon as he felt the terrifying aura of the king.

"M my king I can conclude that agbatu is responsible for the attack" he spoke up shivering in fear of the unknown.

"Agbatu kingdom, But there king and warriors were killed during the war." Obianour said and thought for a while before dismissing them with the wave of his hand.

He knew that one great warrior survived during that war, He only got wounded which resulted in his magic power losing effect.

Obi agu ran out of the throne hall with the two guards. The experience he has today was so terrifying that he is now considering quiting his job. He never knew that the kings power has grown to another level.

'Is it true some how I sensed that old bone has recovered. He might have eaten a powerfull herb which he got in secret.

I better not trifful with this old man.' obianour thought to himself,

His inner self keep warning him about agbatu people. He is getting the feeling that something about agbatu people has changed.

"Is it because of those slaves that excaped, No The root they took were impossible to pass through. That devil himself won't give them the chance to survive." He said as he remembered the magic beast that ruled that evil forest.

The one omalinze killed with his last strength. If he knew that the magical beast nearing his spirit hood was killed the day it sopose to ascend by omalinze.

The slave that excaped from his prison, He will puke blood in anger before frustration kicks in. He will think that the gods were playing tricks on him.

He stood up as he wanted to make his move a guard ran into the throne hall. He knelt down and bowed. "Long live the king "

He waved his hand. "What message do you bring to me " Obianour asked. The guards cleared his throat "My king words came to us that agbatu kingdome is celebrating there victory over us."

"There wealthy men has already promised to give any agbatu warriors high cultivation resources with the highest number of abam warriors head." The guard said and looked at his king for orders.

This news hit the king harder than before, He nearly collapsed and puke blood from anger. "What did they take abam warriors for." He blew up in anger as his aura spreed throughout the hall.

The guard puked blood on the floor and greeted his teeth in pain. "My king have mercy on me am in pain" The guard said before passing out.

The king regned in his powers as he sighed in resignation, He began thinking deep in thoughts.

' it simes that the old man has regained his powers, what should I do now.' He thought to himself.

He stood up and walked into his chambers and began pacing about, His thoughts were going hearth and scarter.
