Chapter 526 The Barbarians' Clan
Nina looked back at the clan's warriors, "Need to know. Where?" She stared at her father.
"East. Bom, Bin, Shi searched." He replied.
"Bom and Bin? Even Shi? I thought Shi couldn't fight. Wasn't she sick?" As Nina said that, the ground started shaking, and trees bent.
Another earthquake rumbled across the ground, and the mountain to its east exploded in a volcanic eruption.
"Get down!" Nina jumped forward, knocking her father to the ground just before the blast passed by the village, blowing all of their tents.
"Nina! Leave!" Her father growled, standing up and lifting his axe.
"You're the one who should leave," She stared at him and then at the whole clan, "West! Run!" She shouted.
The barbarians stared at her in silence for a few seconds before lifting their weapons. The idiots wanted to fight the great one.
"If we leave, it will only eat some trees and dirt for a few hours, then go back to sleep. We can rebuild the clan later," The clan only built tents, which meant their village wasn't hard to rebuild.
"Nina, we fight." Her father said, and the other barbarians started screaming.
Like wild animals, the barbarians were extremely territorial. This lizard won't drive them out without a fight, and to them, this only seemed like a challenge.
People thought that Nina's clan worshipped the tarrasque, but they were wrong. Her clan isn't smart enough to understand what that even means. To them, strength rules, and that powerful creature deserves respect.
Nina stared at them, trying to figure out which way was easier, dragging them away from the tarrasque or drawing her away from them. Her father sent her the letter, but that was more of an invite to see the powerful creature or even fight it, not a cry for help.
She sighed, cracking her neck and back, "Fine, you only listen to the strong," She glared at her father, "Come at me!"
If she beat the chieftain, the others should listen to her and move away at her command.
Her father stared at her for a moment and then smiled, understanding what she wanted. He threw his axe away. This is a fistfight, and the winner rules the clan.
"Sorry, but I have to beat you a bit," She would rather not fight her father, but this was the only way anyone would listen to her here.
The other barbarians gathered to watch the fight, cheering as they brought roasted meat and drinks.
Nina faced her father, taking a stance, but the moment they were about to start, they could feel something in the distance.
CLAP! CLAP!
Everyone froze, staring in the distance to see a black dot between the clouds. ZON! It disappeared, and something crashed at their village's gate.
"That hurt," Aella growled, rubbing her butt as she leaned on the gate's frame to stand.
"That was a rough ride," Eris grunted, holding her head with one hand as she stood, "Couldn't you fly a bit slower?"
"I'm fine!" Jack waved his hand, Lydia carrying him like a princess. She is fully armored, so neither the flight nor landing bothered her.
Arad stood in the middle, his eyes darting around the village with a purple glow. He saw Nina in the middle of the crowds, ready to fight a large man. He didn't know that was her father.
He took one step forward, sucking his shirt and armor into his stomach to look like the other barbarians. Thud! With one step, he appeared right behind the crowd of barbarians.
"Who?" A barbarian growled, but Arad grabbed him by the face, pushing him back with enough force that his body rolled across the village.
Something seemed off, the barbarians would usually gang on any intruder, but this man looked weird. He was taller, larger, and more muscular than any of them. To them, those were signs of power.
The barbarians were primitive in most aspects, except their instincts. With that small interaction, the majority of them backed away from Arad. He wasn't something they could fight. But that didn't prevent them from growling at him like agitated cats.
BA-BAM! A half-naked barbarian woman jumped from the crowds, swinging a fist at Arad.
He dodged her attack and quickly swung a punch at her guts. She pushed on his fist with her left arm and jumped over him, ready to attack his back.
If the weak ones retreat, the ones confident in their skills will take the chance to show off.
CRACK! Another seven male barbarians surrounded Arad, all jumping at him like crazed chimps. The usual barbarians ganging in about to start.
Thud! As the woman landed behind Arad, she spun with a kick flying toward his head.
Arad's eye quickly glared at her, and she knew that was a wrong move.
Thud! Arad caught her foot in his right hand and pulled her. Using his raw strength and weight, he swung her around like a club, smacking the other seven barbarians down with her.
She coughed blood but wasn't about to stop. With a grin on her face, she already set her eyes on Arad. Tightening her muscles, she balanced herself and started swinging at Arad's face with her left leg.
Arad stood there, lifting her from her right leg and taking her kicks to the face without even flinching. That halfling's kicks were heavier, this won't bring him down.
The Barbaria woman giggled. In the whole clan, she was the fifth strongest. Only the chieftain[Nina's father] and the squad that went to investigate the great[Bom, Bin, Shi] bested her.
Those seven barbarians were the ones making moves against her, but she hated every one of them. They are weak, far weaker than her to the point it isn't even funny.
She wants nothing to do with them. If they are weak, how weak their children would be? Are they even competent enough to protect her offspring? To her, that won't do.
He must be strong, stronger than her, overwhelmingly so. It won't do if her mate can't put her down. And Arad here, is quickly ticking all of her boxes.
She laughed, wrapping her thighs around his neck, and twisted her hips, attempting to break Arad's neck.
CRACK!
