Arwin and Luca got off the ship and began to walk through the town.
The town had a white cobblestone floor that matched the walls, and from the sky, everything seemed to be desert, but the city was clean and well structured.
Leaving the platform, they entered a path that took them directly to a central square where there was a huge building called the market of the mourners.
In the market, you can find everything.
The city was circular, but the market took up almost the entire central point of the city with absurd extensions and more than five hundred different stores that could sell anything, not necessarily legal.
The shop ‘the piece of shit’ was on the other side of the platform from which they entered.
Luca had his hands in the air, and everyone could see the coiled bracelets around his hands.
Everyone knew they were explosive harnesses, and that drew a huge amount of attention.
Arwin looked at him and, seeing L
Luca and Arwin were leaving through the back door of the store. In front of them was Tiranot, he looked at them with hatred, and his red eyes lit up when Luca saw him. Then he said.“Hey man, did you hear!? We’ll be teammates... let’s get along.”Tiranot spat when he heard that, and his saliva, when it touched the ground, it began to smoke because of the enormous temperature it had. Grend, seeing it, said, “I like that! Good teamwork! This is how it should be!”Seeing everyone play a project that raised a forest in front of his eyes, Luca looked at him curiously when Glend, breathing calmly, said, “This is the place where the event will take place. The collectors will let out the Petrican in the forest. Don’t worry, it’s not the only beast in the forest…and the hunters will enter the forest to hunt it… Blaster weapons and multi-shot pistols are not allowed… That thing on your waist, boy,
The sun rose behind the mountain, all the hunters awaited Petrican’s release, Luca looked in all directions at his opponents, and everyone looked back at him with faces full of hostility.He looked at his weapons, and knowing that firearms were banned, he looked at whips, swords, spears, and katars, and confused, he looked at Arwin to say, “Those weapons don’t seem the most efficient for a hunt.”Tiranot instantly smiled when Arwin saw Luca and smiled, but she looked at him with tenderness.She found herself admiring that innocence and that impossibility of thinking maliciously, but seeing the boy, she said, “Luca! They will not go for the Petrican! They will wait for him to die to eliminate the other hunters and take the orb.”Looking at her, Luca observed the forest below. They were on a huge cliff, and to enter the forest, they would have to base-jump.Looking towards the hole where the beast would come out of
Luca watched as all his enemies descended with speed. While they did it, on the screen, Luca was reflected and shaking his head.He opened the Petrican’s body while he said, “I’m sorry, friend!”Putting his hand into the hole he made, he managed to get the orb out. The stone, despite being inside the creature’s body, was perfectly clean.Putting it in the pocket of his vest, he looked at the screen. The screen showed the warriors running around the forest in his search.Taking a deep breath, he expected this to happen, but seeing the beast didn’t bother him, so he decided to honor it by taking its weapons and using them in battle.The first to arrive at the site was a group of three men—all with prominent beards and long hair.Upon arrival, they saw the corpse of the creature and looked at each other, and they tried to trace Luca’s footsteps.One of them followed the tracks and was shock
Luca looked at the muscular man. He turned the ax in all directions without stopping, he tried to get closer to Luca, and he backed away quickly to avoid the blows of the ax.The man raised the ax above his head to strike in a vertical manner.When Luca saw this as an opportunity, he advanced at full speed to try to hit the man in the stomach.Luca bent down a little to cut his stomach and, gripping his sword firmly, was about to make the cut when the big man smiled.Instead of launching the attack with the ax blade, as Luca thought he would, he let it roll from the handle of the ax with his hands to hit with the other wooden point the back of Luca, who entered his space.Luca felt the blow to his back, and his leg failed to hit the ground. Looking forward, the man raised his leg and kicked him hard as he rolled on the ground.Luca stopped with great pain and threw his ax horizontally, and the man dodged it.The soldier approached for
Arwin looked at Mao in front of her, the girl used her whips with an efficiency that cut all possible angles of entry, and at the tip of the whips, there were two strange needles that gave a very bad feeling just by looking at them.Arwin backed away and did everything possible so that the whips did not touch her skin.Mao fired blow after blow from complicated angles but the pirate, using her skills and extreme agility, stayed out of range, dodging the attacks that they could generate.Mao looked at her with a smile while the spectators applauded loudly. The battle was showy, although Arwin did not make any progress.She could barely stay out of range, and that made it impossible to fight in any way.Mao, smiling, advanced two steps, and Arwin, seeing her, took two steps back. As long as she stayed on the edge of her attacks, avoiding them would be possible. Mao seeing her, smiled when she said.“You are much more competent than these
The remaining member of the muscular men attacked Tiranot. The boy walked calmly.His gnawed shirt and dirty pants gave a terrible appearance, and when the muscular man saw him, he said, “You have no weapons, nor anything with which to defend yourself, child.”Tiranot looked at him and said, “I don’t need any of that!”At that moment, two more people entered the clearing, and the river was the only sound that could be heard.The rocks broke the current of the river while the trees moved with the wind.The muscular man with a huge war hammer looked at the two newcomers, a couple of redheads who looked more like brothers than boyfriends, as the girl with a long spear and the boy with a sword saw both standing in front of them.The muscle guy was bald, and his mustache trailed down the sides of his mouth to meet a bushy beard when he said, “See what I mean, kid! The two of them are small as you, and they need
Luca looked around at a stocky man thrown to the side, his hand and his face completely burned, one red-haired boy on the other side, with burns in various parts of his body.Tiranot got up while the pain of the girl Luca had saved had made him present by just hearing her sobs.Luca was no stranger to that kind of violence. Being a soldier himself, he was responsible for several deaths, but the level of cruelty that was shown in that place was terrible.“Tiranot! You have something wrong with your head, man!” Luca asked while looking forward.The man, with a broken nose from the kick that Luca gave, stood up. He was glaring at Luca when he said, “Do I have to have something wrong? Because I’m ugly and poor? That’s why I have to be a fucking sick because I’m a fucking slave?”Luca saw it, and without understanding where he was making that connection, he said, “No imbecile! It’s not because you&rs
Luca looked screaming loudly, he felt the heat of Tiranot’s touch on his hands, but he felt no pain.There was no explosion, and nothing was happening smiling Tiranot saw him without understanding what was happening.Just then, Luca acted with speed, opened his arms, and with a powerful header made Tiranot step back.Luca advanced to hit Tiranot again and the young man, using one of his hands, tried to touch Luca’s face. Worse, putting his forearm in between, he felt the heat.However, again without pain, shaking his hand, he kicked Tiranot in the stomach, and then a strong blow to the face made the boy step back.Luca stretched out his hand and, with his fingers, grazed Luca’s right shoulder, intensely burning his skin and falling face down to the ground.Luca felt the two lines of burns on his shoulder, and nodding, he took a handful of earth and rubbed them on the burn. He looked ahead when seeing Tiranot, and he said sp
