119 The stone tree
Taking first uncle with him, Jayden runs deep inside the forest and after some time reaches the place where the second uncle was killed, then he walks towards the place where he had hidden the brave warrior.
Putting first uncle on the ground, and using a tree to support him, Jayden removes the bushes revealing the brave warrior who was sleeping peacefully.
Jayden pulls him out of the bushes and observes his condition. After making sure he was fine Jayden takes him along with the first uncle, and then walks towards the body of the second uncle.
Jayden places them both there and walks to the side, after a moment he spoke:
" Uncle, can you hear me? "
Jayden tried to call him a few more times, but first uncle didn't flinch, just as Jayden was thinking of a place to bring them to, the first uncle's eyes began to open.
" Ughhhh Ian is that you? " he said, while rubbing his head.
" Yes uncle, how are you feeling? " Jayden asks, supporting him as he sat.
"My body aches and my head hurts," he replied.
" Where is the second- "Slowly coming back to his senses, the first uncle looked around, until his eyes landed on the dead body of the second uncle.
" H-How did this happen? " he asks, his voice wavering and his eyes misty.
" It's the third uncle's doing, he exposed our presence to a mid tier demon. " Jayden said, with a solemn expression.
" That traitorous bastard, I'm going to kill him. " the first uncle roared in anger.
" He is dead too, he was later killed by the same monster. " Jayden said.
"..."
Hearing Jayden's words first Uncle didn't feel joyous at all, instead, he was even more saddened, he was thinking about where it all went wrong.
" It's because of that old general of the human army, he captured all of us, that old bastard along with those fox like faces pair of father and son. " the first uncle spoke through gritted teeth.
" Who was it, uncle? " Jayden questions.
" The ones that captured us were the second general, third general and his son," he replied.
" How do you know that, I believe you can't understand human language. " Jayden asks curiously.
" Yes, I couldn't understand their language, but second brother was able to understand it to a certain extent using his KIR ability. Aside from healing he had another ability, it was a strange ability," he replied.
" Uncle you should return to home, I'll be back soon. " Jayden said, a determined look on his face.
' Anyway, I still need to hunt all those monsters, I can't waste any time in the village. ' he thought.
" Ian, what are you planning to do? " the first uncle questioned.
" Nothing much, believe me, I'll be back. " Jayden replied.
" No, I can't leave you alone- " first uncle immediately refused.
" Uncle, believe me, I'll be fine. " He paused and then spoke: " Bring him and second uncle's body back with you. "
Looking at Jayden's confident expression, first uncle felt that he was a completely different person, there was no fear in his eyes. The boy who was trembling in fear just some time ago, now looked full of confidence and vigor.
" Just come back safely, otherwise I won't be able to answer to your parents. " the first uncle said, then picking up the brave warrior and second uncle's body, he turned around and began to walk into the village's direction.
Jayden watched him leave, his expression was serious, closing his eyes for a brief moment, Jayden took in a deep breath.
" Hey, you still there? " Jayden asked.
" How were you able to switch so easily, I wasn't even able to put up a fight. " the colossal demon spoke in confusion.
" I'm just too strong, there's nothing else. " Jayden replied nonchalantly.
" Now, tell me do you understand the language of humans? " He asks.
" I know a little. "the colossal demon replied.
" Then let's go to our next location before we head towards the human City. " Jayden spoke and turned in a direction from which he was sensing a strange yet powerful aura.
" You were also able to sense it? " the colossal demon asks in awe.
" Yes, is it strange? "
" Sigh," it sighed and went silent.
Jayden ran at full speed, as the aura became stronger the closer he got. After he was around 300 metres away from the centre of the place that released the strange aura, Jayden sensed the presence of over 11 mid tier demons, 2 high tier demons and countless low tier demons.
" What's going on here? " Jayden asked, as he approached the place.
" Maybe there's some kind of treasure that was born in this place. " The colossal demon answered.
Walking closer, Jayden felt the gazes of all the demons on him, but after sensing his aura they all turned away. Since Jayden had hidden his aura, all of them thought that he was just a low tier demon.
Finally escaping from everyone's attention, Jayden passes by many monsters and walks closer to the centre. After he saw what was present at the centre his eyes widened in shock.
At the centre, a tree whose branches looked like as if they were made of stone was standing high, reaching a height of over 30 feet, but the strange thing was that Jayden wasn't able to see the tree until he got closer to it.
But the tree wasn't the main attraction, but the fruits it bore, there were six fruits that were emitting a strange yellow glow. The aura that the fruit released was warm but at the same time the aura gave a feeling of superiority.
The shape of those fruits looked like an egg, but their size matched that of a football. After staring at those fruits for a couple of minutes, Jayden asks.
" What are those? "
" I don't know, this forest holds a lot of secrets, even though I've lived for a very long time, there are many things I know nothing about. " the colossal demon said, his voice sounding respectful for some reason.
Jayden looked around, the ones closest to the centre were the two high tier demons, then mid tier and at last all the low tier monsters.
The first high tier demon looked like a fox, its fur was white, and its head was pinkish in colour. The aura around the fox demon was inviting and felt dangerous at the same time.
Then he looked at the second high tier demon who looked like a turtle, its shell looked like as if it was made of diamond, and it's skin was steely in colour.
" What are they all waiting for? " Jayden asks.
" They are all waiting for the fruits to ripe. " the colossal demon replied.
" Hmmm, what a boring place, I've to sit here like this for a few hours or maybe even days, nah I have better things to do," he said.
" Let's continue our quest. " Jayden spoke, stars twinkling in his eyes as he looked at all the monsters around him.
" You aren't actually planning to start- "
*BOOOOOOM*
*CRIEEEK*
Jayden moves his hand at an incredible speed and before the low tier monster can even register any changes, Jayden pierces its chest, before pulling out its thumping heart.
*Thud*
Within a couple of seconds, the lifeless body of the low tier demon fell to the ground. Everything was silent for a few seconds, as all the monsters looked around in confusion before everything broke into chaos.
Without thinking, Jayden threw the heart of the monster into the cloth pocket that he had made earlier, when he stored the hearts of the monsters to help his first uncle.
While he did that, his other hand moved at an incredible speed as it tore open the chest of another low tier demon. He pulled his heart out and then moves towards his next target.
By now all of the low tier monsters were looking at Jayden with hostility, while the mid and high tier showed no interest in their Battle.
With his enhanced speed and strength, Jayden was invincible among the low tier monsters, even mid tier demons wouldn't be able to last long in front of him.
*BANGGGGG*
*BOOOOOOOOM*
*CRIEEEEEEK*
Wherever Jayden appeared the sound of explosions and cries of monsters rang out. In just a single minute, Jayden had killed over forty of them.
