Chapter 54: A Tense Welcome
The group's arrival in the city drew attention, and their unique situation—most of them bloodied—left the citizens of Oasis City reeling in fear. Bjorn and the warriors of the tribe were caked in blood—some their own, and the rest from the beasts they had slain—but even in that situation, one person stood out.Bjorn looked like a demon who had crawled out of the deepest pits of hell. His clothes, practically rags, barely clung to his body by loose threads. He seemed to have bathed in the blood of his enemies, which covered every inch of him except for his purple eyes, gleaming with excitement as he stared at the city before him, ignoring the guards who had surrounded him, their hands on their weapons, ready to react to his slightest move.The guards had identified him as a foreigner because of the difference in his outfit. Even as rags, they differed from the traditional garbs of the desert tribes, and his bloody appearance did him no favors as the guards perceived him as a threat. Th
Chapter 53: The Journey
The tribe could be seen trudging along the desert in a somber mood. Chief Martel was leading the march, as he was the most familiar with navigating the terrain and was in charge of determining their destination. Beasts of burden carried the tribe's load and the younger children. The civilians were flanked by the still-bloody warriors, who hadn’t had the chance to clean up after their last battle. They had only managed to salvage the resources necessary for their travel, which would also strengthen them, taken from the beasts they had defeated. Finally, Bjorn could be seen bringing up the rear of the long marching line, accompanied by some warriors. He stayed behind because he was the first line of defense against any threat that might approach from behind. His task occasionally required him to disappear to deal with unseen threats. With the aid of shadows scouting the area, he was able to respond quickly to any approaching danger. The civilians marched uneasily, their eyes frequ
Chapter 52: Blood, Steel, And Departure.
The loud cheers of the crowd during the duel had echoed far, attracting unwanted attention from beasts roaming the desert. This had inevitably led to their current situation: an impending beast attack. The roars of over a hundred beasts charging toward them sent the crowd into a panic. Ordinary citizens ran amok while the warriors tried to coordinate a hasty response and direct the civilians toward their homes. “Get up. We have to hold them back while the civilians get ready to travel,” Bjorn urged Martel as he handed the chief his dropped spear. Martel was shaken by the sight before him. In all his life, he had never experienced a beast wave of this caliber, and he now understood why Bjorn was angry with him. If he had listened to the young mage earlier, they wouldn’t be in this precarious situation. Calming his heart, he grabbed the spear with a nod and began barking orders to his subordinates. They faced daunting odds of surviving this deadly battle, but, as with all danger, th
Chapter 51: Duel And Roars
It’s been five days since Bjorn started training his new, unexpected students. He had a little difficulty passing on the absorption technique to the warriors, but once they understood it, their growth and progress were exponential.The quality and quantity of beasts' corpses available made it possible for everyone to train nonstop for days, and Bjorn made sure that the supply of beast meat never ran dry.With his shadows scouting the perimeter, he spotted any beast long before it arrived at the settlement and swiftly dispatched the powerful ones while directing some warriors to deal with the weaker beasts. But lately, the number of beasts coming their way had been gradually increasing, and Bjorn had already noticed that trend.“You need to move your community,” Bjorn said as he stood before a meditating Chief Martel, who had already achieved a body breakthrough to the adept level after absorbing numerous adept-level resources.The chief looked to have aged backward, with the wrinkles
Chapter 50: Loved ones
The old mage who introduced himself as Chief Martel led Bjorn towards their camp with a small entourage of warriors, the rest of the warriors stayed back to loot the battlefield and take of their dead.They led Bjorn past a small wall that barely reached his chest and into their settlement made of a sea of tents, the tents are made of thick cloth, flapping gently in the warm breeze. The tents staked into the ground are arranged in a circular way, and they get larger the closer they get to the center.Bjorn noticed the nervous running around of the locals to get things back in order; he also noticed their looks of appreciation and admiration since word has gone around of his help in defeating the beasts that would have definitely killed most of them.As they got closer to the center of the settlement, the environment turned greener and Bjorn caught the sweet scent of water in the air; he saw the large tents in the middle of the camp go round an oasis, a shimmering pool of water surroun
Chapter 49: Settlement
After days of relentless training, Bjorn was finally ready to continue his journey. He felt on the cusp of a physical breakthrough, but his instincts warned him to hold back."I just need to focus on my essence training now," he thought as he donned black garb from his space ring. "But first, I need to get out of here," he mused, hearing the sounds of roaring and fighting in the distance.The region had transformed into a striking scene. The once fiery rivers of molten lava had hardened into dark, jagged rock, sprawling like a frozen wave across the barren land. The surface was cracked and rough, with some areas appearing smooth and glassy, as if the ground had been glazed. The desert sand, once soft and golden, now mingled with the blackened rock, creating a stark contrast. Wisps of steam still rose from small fissures here and there.Due to the still-erupting volcanoes and the region's new appearance, lava beasts had invaded the area, disrupting the ecosystem. This could not be tole
