Chapter 111 KIR MONSTERS
Everything was hidden under the darkness, and it was hard for me to breathe. My hands were tied with something and there was slight pain coursing through one of my legs.
*COUGH* *COUGH*
I coughed lightly and slowly opened my eyes, at first my pupils were hit by a bright light forcing me to close my eyelids again, then after getting used to the light, I opened my eyes again.
It was a narrow place, the walls around had deep cracks in them and the place looked as if it hadn't been cleaned for a few years. As I looked to the side I saw big iron bars, and then the word ' Prison. ' appeared in my mind.
*haa* *haa*
Breathing heavily I turned my head and saw over 16 creatures sitting beside me. They had body structures similar to humans, their skin was red and two big horns on their heads. Every single one of them had a height of 10 feet, and their bodies looked bulky.
" Ian, how are you feeling? " I heard one of the creatures talk, he came near me and began to inspect the wounds on my leg, he looked the strongest among all the others.
" Where am I? " I asked him, rubbing my head, which was hurting like hell.
" My poor Ian, they even broke your TAJ, even though they know that it's even more precious for us than our life. " he said, touching my broken horn.
" He probably will never be able to use his KIR again. " another creature, with the longest height, came near me and looked at me worriedly.
" What's the use of having KIR, when we all are going to die soon anyway. " a depressed voice came from a corner.
As my headache increased, many memories resurfaced in my mind. In those memories, Ian was living happily with his parents and uncles, during a training and hunting session in a forest, all of them encountered a group of humans. They were overnumbered and were caught after a long fruitless fight.
These creatures are known as Kirsmor, they have special abilities called KIR which is different for different people, and the place that is used to generate and store this KIR energy is their horns, they call them TAJ. If even a single one of them is destroyed, that Kirsmor would turn into a cripple.
The stronger one here is the 1st uncle, the longest one is the second uncle and the depressed one is the third uncle.
" Don't be so sad, third, I'm sure the backup will be here anytime soon haha. " second uncle said laughing, and at the same time he began to heal my leg, using his Kir.
Just as my mind cleared up, I felt my body shake with fear, and I understood fear is the emotion that is going to overwhelm me during my test.
Holding my shaking hand tightly, my first uncle spoke:
" We can't leave our fate in someone else's hands, let's try to escape- "
*CLANGGG*
Just then we heard the sound of the iron door opening, and then humans wearing armours made of monster's skins and bones began to enter and drag us out of the small prison room.
" We're going to die, w-we're all going to DIEEEE, it's all because of Kirhama God, even after we worshipped him for all our lives, he gave us all this kind of fate. "
the third uncle shouted, his body trembling, as he cursed the God he had worshipped since he was a child.
All we could do was just sit and watch as they dragged five of us at a time, and at the end, only me, my three uncles and another one of us remained.
Ten minutes after the last batch was dragged, ten humans entered the prison and began to pull the chains that were tied around our hands and legs.
As I stood up, I found that my height was just 7 feet, and I was the shortest among all the others. With shaking steps, I moved forward as the humans pulled our chains to make us move, then secretly, my first uncle came near me and whispered in my ear.
" Don't worry, Ian, after we were captured I threw all of my sweet aroma powder at the entrance, soon there will be hordes of monsters and beasts attacking this place. No matter what happens, Uncle won't let you die. "
His smile looked calming, yet my mind was in turmoils, as overwhelming fear took hold of my body, just moving forward was difficult for me. As we walked in the corridor, I heard loud shouts coming from the outside, it was as if a crowd of people were cheering for something.
After walking through the corridor, I closed my eyes, as sunlight mercilessly hit my face. After a few seconds, I saw a big ground where many dead bodies were littered all over, and in the middle of it was a brown dog, whose body was more than two times bigger than a horse.
It looked much more dangerous than a lion, seeing its long teeth that were painted red in blood, my body shuddered in fear. Just as my body froze, my first and second uncle supported me from behind, with an encouraging look.
Then the human soldiers pushed us towards the ground and then closed the corridor's gate. There were more than a thousand people, who were sitting on the seats, and shouting in excitement.
[ A/N: The text present inside [< _ >] are the words said by humans, whose language Jayden isn't familiar with. ]
[< " Start the fight already!!! " >]
[< " Hahahahaha, seeing those red bugs run around for their lives is so much fun. " >]
[< " Aren't they the famous KIR MONSTERS, why can't any of them could defeat a single Fang Hound? " >]
[< " Don't you know, their KIR has been locked by those iron chains, otherwise even that single kid would have been enough to slaughter a few of these hounds, though it only locks offence-type kir. " >]
*GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*
The hound looked at us and began to growl, blood and flesh dripping from its mouth. In between us stood a tall iron fence, stopping the hound from pouncing on us.
" Ian, hide behind me. " first uncle spoke, as he pulled me behind him.
[< " Pull " >]
Just as we heard a loud shout, the iron fence was slowly pulled up, as the last barrier that protected us from the hound broke.
*OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU*
The hound howled and slowly began to move towards us, its steps were steady its eyes fixed on us.
" SWAP " I muttered, trying to use the Void Eye ability, but much to my disappointment, none of my skills were working.
In just a few seconds, the hound stood just a few meters away from us, ready to tear its prey apart. We were slowly retreating, I looked to the side and saw my third uncle hiding behind my second uncle.
The fifth person among us looked as brave as the first uncle, he stood side by side with him and roared:
" Come here stinking hound, this warrior has killed countless puppies like you kekekekekeke. " he looked ferocious, for a moment the hound looked a bit intimidated but after not sensing any Kir energy from him, he roared in response to his challenge.
*ROAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR*
It pushed the ground backwards with its hind legs and pounced towards him, without backing down at all, he threw a punch towards the mouth of the hound. Before the hound could clash with him, the first uncle stuck it in its belly, pushing him back a little.
Seeing his chance, the brave monster punched the hound's face, making its head shake. But even with the combined attack of both the warriors, the hound didn't seem to have been injured in the slightest.
I tried to move, but my body stood in its place, frozen, with the fear of death and pain. My whole body was drenched in sweat, and my legs were trembling constantly. I looked to be in a much worse condition than my third uncle.
Without being able to use their KIR Energy, my uncle and the other warrior, were no match for the hound. They could only stall for time, as they skillfully dodged all the deadly attacks while launching their counterattacks at the same time.
" Ughhhhhhh cough " the brave warrior, was thrown back, as the hound struck his chest, leaving behind a big wound.
The first uncle instantly moves, distracting the hound from dealing the final blow to the injured man. Both the hound and first uncle were engaged in a one-on-one fight, the hound clearly had the advantage.
But with the first uncle's experience, he was able to stay alive, even after more than five minutes. Then the other warrior joined the first uncle too, they tried to drag it for as long as possible, waiting for the final moment.
And then it finally happened, we all heard the sound of various monsters roaring, as it shook the entire arena.
*ROARRRRRRRRR*
