"What do you mean they shouldn't be able to speak?"
"Gremblings are vicious creatures which are smart in combat but have no general intelligence to be able to speak…"
"They are only smart in trapping and killing, a literal brute of a creature who is not smart enough to create a civilization society among their self" Vas said to Kim
Kim after hearing this, is awe in confusing
"Then how is THAT one able to speak?!"
"I-I don't know…."
They both stay silent until Vas Allen breaks it
"We need to escape and fast, this could mean trouble for us"
"How are we going to escape, tell me!!"
"Here is the plan I have thought of escaping"
——-
"Hello fella brotheren!" Shouted the Elder Gremblings
"Here we captured two sacrifice to offer to our god"
All the gremblings cheered out of celebration
"Start the RITUAL!!" The Elder Grembling yelled out
"Paint up their faces and after that, we will start to kill them…"
The gremblings started moving as they scattered to prepare for the ceremony
——-
"I AM NOT doing that!"
"That's far too dangerous for me and you" Kim said in a concerned voice
"Do you want to escape or not?"
"This is our only chance of this"
"Why can't you do it instead?"
"It won't work unless you do it, you must distract them long enough for me to prepare"
"That doesn't explain why you can't do it instead of me"
"What happened after you escaped? Do you plan to outrun them?"
Kim didn't say anything, he just looked at Vas Allen
"We have to face them head-on, we can't outrun them without defending ourselves"
Kim sighs…. knowing that Vas Allen is right
"Well how am I supposed to distract them? I'm tied up here!"
"We must find a way to steal their weapon…. by chance are you good with footwork?"
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
"Footwork, right now?"
"This is no laughing matter"
"It's not supposed to be funny, do you or do you not?"
"What does that even mean?"
"Imma just take that as a no"
Kim just stares at Vas Allen, he didn't say anything
"…."
"Remember this is our only chance to escape, once they find out what we're doing, they will adapt to it"
"Well how are we going to steal their weapon?"
"Leave that to me, for now, we must wait…."
The Elder Grembling yelled out
"We are ready to start the ceremony"
The gremblings stand upright, forming a path for the Elder Grembling to walk past it.
The Elder walks toward the two sacrifices, there he comes face to face with them
None of them say anything, Kim and Vas Allen both look at the Elder Grembling with sharp eyes, sharp enough to stab someone clean through
"Paint their faces, their fate has been sealed"
"Their fate was to die for our God!"
All of the gremblings cheer out in excitement!!!
Kim in his mind thought "This is now or never, as Vas Allen said. We only have one shot at this"
"I must find a way to distract them all and place their focus on me…."
Kim sighs knowing that he don't want to do this but also knowing that he has no other choice
Kim took a deep breath… breath out lightly and repeated it two more times before he yelled out
"HEY YALL STUPID LITTLE PEST!!!!" Kim yelled out, his voice echoing throughout the whole forest, scaring all the birds away
"YALL LITTLE BASTARD SO SHORT THAT YALL HAVE TO LOOK UP TO TIED YOUR SHOE!!!" All of the focus is now on Kim, the gremblings look at him in confusing
Both Vas Allen and the Elder Grembling were confused, even the Elder Grembling replied with "Foolish words" The Elder Grembling was dumbfounded by what Kim just said
Due to Distractions from Kim, Vas Allen kicked over one of the grembling guards with both his feet tied up, as the weapon flung into the air and ready to fall, with immense precision, Vas Allen kicked the weapon to where Kim's feet tied up, freely his ability to run.
"NOW RUN!!!!"
Vas Allen shouted out
Kim with a swift, got up and started running!
Kim ran toward the open forests but before he knew it, he saw the gremblings in front of him, trapping him
"RUN TOWARD THAT DIRECTION!!!!!" yelled out Vas Allen
Kim followed Vas Allen's direction, he ran, and ran, and ran but no matter how fast or how long he run for, he couldn't outrun those little gremblings, every chance he saw an opening, it would be swarming with them….
Almost as if they have super speed…
Kim in his mind "damn there's no escape opening…. Vas was right, these little bastards are way too fast"
"KIM OVER HERE!!!"
Kim heard Vas Allen and headed toward him
Elder Grembling: "Stop that foolish man from doing what they are planning to do!!!"
"What are they trying to do? What are they planning?" Thought the Elder Grembling
"KIM WATCH OUT!!!!" Yelled out Vas Allen
Kim didn't see it but a grembling with a sharp weapon leaped toward Kim
Kim barely dodged it but the gremblings managed to scar him on his cheek
But Kim continued to run toward Vas Allen
"YOU FOOLS!!! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!?!?" Shouted out the Elder Grembling in a mean and harsh voice
"If y'all fool can't catch him, I will do it instead" say the Elder Grembling
The Elder Grembling started to write on the air as if he was casting something
Kim in his mind "Like Vas Allen say, they shouldn't be able to cast any spells, yet that one can"
"Is this the only way for us to escape?" Thought Kim but already know what the answer is
"GET READY!!!!"
Kim yelled out to Vas Allen, trusting his life in the hands of a man he just met
The Elder Grembling cast out some spell, an attack so devastating it could destroy the surrounding area
The attack was launched toward Kim and Vas Allen
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!" Yelled out Kim "VAS ALLEN!!!!!"
The attack hit the surrounding area, and there was a large explosion, as the explosion faded smoke and smoke began to pile up one another
"You guys… die by my hand but sadly not for our God, what a shame…."
"Your fate wa-"
As the Elder Grembling was about to say something
Large flame shot up from the grounds, blocking the gremblings of any chance of escaping
In every direction the gremblings looked, there was walls made out of fire, cornering them for good
"What going on? What kind of sorcery is this?
"Such high-level spells, what's going on?"
The smoke faded out, the Elder Grembling saw both Kim and Vas Allen free of their bindings
"*cough* dammit *cough* that attack was way way more destructive than I thought *cough*"
Vas Allen was unfazed by this, saying to the Elder Grembling "You mess with the wrong guy, and for that, you will pay…."
