Chapter 105 Scary Young Man
A young man putting on black pants along with a roughened up shirt and having his hands tucked in his pocket as he casually strolled to the gate of the town, not having the least beast of worry about the beasts which were silently moving away, made for a mysterious sight, but mysterious wasn’t among the top 10 feelings the young man currently evoked in his observers at the moment.
Perhaps there would have been a strong touch of curiosity and mystery to the young man walking towards the gate if his description ended there, but the fact that his clothes were currently stained in blood made for a scary sight, with his blood covered white shirt, he looked like the ghost of some unfortunate human who had been brutally murdered and now walked the earth seeking vengeance.
Gudzil could hear the men around him nervously whispering different stories to explain the terror that was approaching them with some men already shouting out phrases of the town being hunted.
“Silence!” Gudzil’s voice boomed out, his orders quieting everyone one sound him and having them stand at attention.
“Man your posts, and everyone be on the ready, I’m heading towards the gate,” Gudzil said, and immediately jumped off the wall and began sprinting towards the gate.
……..
Seth currently had no obligations to save Ukota, but considering his previous transgressions and the one he had just unknowingly caused he decide to be remorseful and save the town’s poor inhabitants from total annihilation, besides he wasn’t also sure if Sonia would be able to survive the towns wall being breached given her cultivation problems, so he had decided to go ahead of his mount and confront the beast.
“Quietly leave” was all the form of Seth who had appeared in the thick of the beast tide said, and within the next three seconds, all the beast for miles around him kept mum and began running away.
Done dealing with the beasts, Seth began slowly moving towards the town gate, waiting for the tiger to come pick him up, not wanting to walk under the sun which had now devolved to a blazing monster.
Seth had just taken some steps when a loud cry rang out,
“Halt, state your name and business with this town”, a soldier at the top of the gate shouted, but without the least bit of pause or acknowledgment of the man’s words, Seth continued his unhurried walk, he could hear the loud voice shouting other things to him, but Seth didn’t feel like listening to those words, so he didn’t.
Before Seth knew it, he was already in front of the gate, but the tiger was nowhere to be seen, making Seth sigh in displeasure at its slow speed, so deciding not to wait for the beast, he spoke out loud,
“Open the gate”, and just like he expected, the gates were not opened, it was instead that annoying voice that had been trying to talk to him that began droning on again.
“This is why I don’t like asking, people don’t just know when to obey”, Seth grumbled as he raised his right hand and delivered a punch to the huge iron gate towering above him, and before a second could even be counted, the gates and long sections of the wall connected to it were blasted apart, the two huge iron doors lifting off and traveling into the sky, probably going to land in some forest around the town.
The path before him cleared, Seth walked through the few rubbles on the ground and entered Ukota, he ignored the screams and groans coming from the soldiers who had been caught in the blast of his punch, and walked into the town, observing its strange but familiar streets.
Not up to a minute into his walk and Seth was stumped, unable to move forward as he had no idea where next to go, all around him, people were running around in frenzy, no one seeming to mind his presence.
It would seem the dust and smoke coupled with the casualties his attack had caused had completely covered up his entry, but before Seth could draw up his next plans, a loud roar sounded behind him.
A loud roar that blew away all the dust lingering around the town’s entrance was heard, and the figure of the panting tiger appeared, it took a look around and upon catching sight of Seth immediately ran up to him, bowing its head when it reached his side.
The sight of tiger and Seth had everyone pausing at staring at the duo in shock, the soldiers on the ground were aware of the appearance of a mysterious man, but none of them had any idea what he looked like, while most of the soldiers on the wall who did had been blown off and sent to their deaths by Seth.
Seconds passed as the still able soldiers moved and surrounded Seth, drawing out their weapons as they fearlessly prepared to attack them, after all, Seth had just killed several of their colleagues, not to mention protecting their families and loved ones in the town, they had more than enough motivation to thoughtlessly attempt to kill Seth.
Due to its heavy exertion for the past minutes and Seth’s presence, the tiger was docile and had suppressed its aura, this action giving the soldiers around it the impression that it was at most a peak rank 3 beast, but just before they could begin their attack the loud authoritative voice of Gudzil screamed out,
“Stooooop!”.
As a 3rd stage solid soldier level cultivator, Gudzil had no way of accurately reading the tiger’s cultivation level with it suppressing its aura but he was a captain of Ukota town’s military and as such mandatorily had images of the most powerful beast of Lukta forest in his head, and to his dread, the tiger which was currently behaving like a pet to the horrifying man was one of them.𝗈𝐯𝐞𝑙xt.𝑐𝐎𝓜
Gudzil had been located far away from the gate at a position where the number of beasts attacking had been highest, but after the beasts had run off and he had been alerted to the presence of an unknown man, he had come charging toward the town gate, just to arrive at the scene of the gate already destroyed and his men whom were all soldier level cultivators about to attack a rank 6 beast.
Breathing heavily and being thankful he arrived before his men had gotten themselves massacred, he walked up to close to Seth and said,
“My name is Aluf Gudzil, kind Sir, there is no need for us to fight, just tell us what you want and we will do our best to fulfill your wish,” Gudzil said, hoping Seth wasn’t an enemy.
“Point me in the direction of the white temple,” Seth said, his words putting a smile on Gudzil’s face at the easy task before it completely froze the next second he made a realization.
