Chapter 134 - Flash... (1/2)

”NOW... GOOOO...!!!” Ibiyemi's voice boomed out. Her very words tearing through the air like needle thin lances.

A sign that she was pushing at her very best.

The voice jolted Wole and Shola, who had been engrossed in watching the match between Ibiyemi and the warriors. They sighed involuntarily as they leapt down to the ground in one smooth motion.

Bending low, Shola shot his group leader a look that seemed 'Now what?'

Wole did not reply. Instead he flung his legs into action, throwing both hands behind him as he raced. Taking initiative, Shola followed after him, as they jumped around bushes.

They soon arrived at an orb in no time. Hiding behind a small bush, they squatted. In front of them was a male Irunmole with semi transparent wings.

A Pseudo-demigod Classed Irunmole.

They both cursed.

”What next? ” Shola asked, his eyes darting about.

”Well, hold. This Irunmole seems to be in charge of this whole operation. But I wonder why he would want to use an energy orbs to shield out the place, instead of using direct Agbara.” Wole remarked, a hand on his chin and another drawing in the air.

”Well, he simply didn't want to waste his energy perhaps?” Wole replied , carefully.

”His aura. It doesn't linger. Something is not right”

”Who cares! Let's just shut this place down.” Shola whipped his head back. He dropped his hand into a pocket by his left t.h.i.g.h and pulled out an apple.

”Wahh... You're really going to eat, now of all times?” Shola queried, his eyes widening in disbelief. Immediately he reached out for the apple, gripping it before Shola could make a move for it.

”Heyyyy... Give it back...” Shola voice rose up.

At that, the Irunmole turned back, his eyes containing suspicion. After a while, he squeezed his face, doubting what he had heard.

”Has to be the result of being engrossed in the academician fight over there.” He muttered, folding his hands across his c.h.e.s.t.

”Umph... His senses are not at the best. Otherwise he wouldn't have come to that hasty conclusion. And this gives us a chance at best.

We can take him down...”

”Heh...are you CRAZYYY??” Shola yelled, shaking all over.

And then.

BOOM...

”Yaaarrggh..”

”Aaahhh...”

The duo screamed as the explosion concentrated at the ground diverted, rushing into the surrounding and throwing them off balance.

They both crashed, plummeting down to their faces respectively.

Footsteps rushed through as other Irunmoles began to turn around, trying to ascertain the cause of the explosion.

Before them was an Irunmole heaving, holding a hollow tube to the ground. The semi transparent wings around him suddenly vanished, removing all airs of a Pseudo-demigod.

”Taylor, what was there?”

”Oh Taylor, why did you have to use the Canon here. ”

Taylor this, Taylor that reverberated in the air as a small group gathered about. The Irunmole who was referenced to as Taylor stood up now, holding his tube over his shoulders.

He spoke without turning back, watching in disbelief as two bodies shimmered into nothingness.

”Intruders were here... Uh... Whaaaa...” He blinked, but yet the bodies were no more there.

”It was a-an illusion??” He gulped, his face losing color as scolding of the other Irunmoles came in.

Meanwhile, a little distance off, Wole and Shola almost screamed in excitement. Wole particularly was ecstatic. He rose from the ground wearily, as he coughed. That particularly art of deception had taken him an Artefact. One his father gifted him since. One he had kept since. A single use item that still relied on the energy of the user.

'Well, it's worth it after all.'

The Irunmoles were divided, some watching Captain Moyo's performance while some gathered around Taylor. Activating his sense of perception, Wole rushed for the next orb, pulling out two saarins one more time. And with a slash, the orb exploded.

The explosion was minute, so it was noticed by the Irunmoles. After a short while, the shield began to collapse, after having one side of it inactive

They rushed in,running and bending their backs to the grounds as low as they could. Their legs hit against the ground in one silent motion as Wole glanced about. And from the side of his eyes, he spotted something.

What the heck‽

Even if the mission had stated that they were to render aid to injured Irunmoles.
