Like Moths
To a
Flame
The Honoured One:You, Women call all the generals we need to discuss something....important.
EnigmaticWomen:Oh Come on now! Atleast call me by my name will you?*Sigh*I'll call them.
*The honoured stands on a pedestal with a dice as tall as his upper abdomen with the 12, now 11 generals standing in front of him
The Honoured One:Akbar rank 8th was sent to recieve the sarps from 20 outposts after he reached the 16th outpost we lost contact with him, he presumable dead.
(The Honoured One slams his hand on the table)
The Honoured One:Every single month one of the lower generals has to be replaced..WHAT GOOD ARE YOU IF YOU KEEP DYING? WHY SHOULD I KEEP YOU ALIVE?ALL OF YOU ARE SO USELESS THIS IS MY LAST WARNING IF YOU FAIL THIS MISSION THE GENERALS WILL HAVE ONLY 6 MEMBERS,THE LOWER 6 WILL BE KILLED BY ME.
*The generals are scared speechless from the his threat but one of them musters the courage to speak up
Rank#7:I am sorry my lord please give us one more chance I swear on my life that We wont fail.
The Honoured One:The people who killed akbar have the sarps of 15 outposts the 5 of you(Rank 12 to Rank 7)Will go and recapture the sarps I have some information on them that was captured by the spy drone placed on akbar by Rank#9.
Rank#9:There are 3 of them all around 16-17 years old. One of them can reconstruct matter and absorb their characteristics,One can control the 4 elements and the last one can decay things we do not have much info on the decayer as he was knocked out quickly by akbar.We know their abilities We will divide them up so they cant work together Since they have good synergy with each other.Rank12 and 11 will fight the decayer, rank 7 and I will fight the elemental manipulator while rank 10 will fight the reconstructer.
Rank#10:Why will I be fighting alone? And what is the reasoning behind these pairings?
Rank#9:By my analysis the reconstructer is the weakest out of the three since his ability is more supportive rather than offence focused.The elemental manipulator and the decayer are almost equal in combat ability. Since I am not much of a fighter more so a scout rank 7 will fight alongside me.Is that clear?
*The generals all agree to this plan
The Honoured One:You better not fail this time. Rank#1 in a few days the man that was sent to fight the serpents will come back I need you to test him since I plan for him to join the generals.
Rank#1:As you wish.
Rank#9:We will use rank 10th ability to split up the 3 of them.Understand?
*After recieving their orders all of the lower generals start preparing for the fight against the trio of protaganists.
Aqib:Among all of us we have a total of 500000 sarps.Shaheer and I will upgrade our attribute since muneeb is already higher level he will just upgrade his stats.
(They proceed with upgrading their attributes)
Aqib:Man this sucks whenever I upgrade my attribute it just says "You have gained better mastery over the elements" This is bullshit.
Muneeb:Try using the manipulation see if it is easier than before.
(Aqib starts focusing some seconds past and suddenly a stream of water shoots up from the ground)
Shaheer:Whoa did you just pull that out of the ground.
Aqib:Yes the attribute upgradation has given me a much better mastery over the elements.Before I was not able to do that no matter how hard I tried.
(Aqib stops and starts thinking for a few seconds then he picks up a knife and cuts his hand)
Aqib:GUYS LOOK I am not loosing blood I am using water manipulation to maipulate the blood into ignoring the wound.
Muneeb:That is crazy.Shaheer what did you get?
Shaheer:......Umm I am now able to control corpses.
Aqib:W H A T
Shaheer:IT says I am able to control up to 10 corpses to serve as my puppets.Whoa that is so cool!
Muneeb:Yeah damn I am jealous.
Aqib:Guys we still have around 300000 sarps left even after upgrading attributes lets level all of our stats up.
(They spend all the saprs 100000 each to level up their stats to an insane degree)
*Meanwhile Abuturab has just gotten done killing the leader of the serpents
(Abuturab is covered in injuries and is slowly walking away from the burning camp of the serpents carrying the severed head of their leader)
Abuturab:That guy had an insane ability, being able to force his opponents into historical battles is absolutely insane thank god he was an unexperienced fighter or I would not have survived that..... Welp time to head back and claim my spot in The Honoured One's Generals. It's gonna take me 2 days to reach the location I wish I could just teleport there but that would be way too suspecious.I will also stop by on the meeting spot to catch up.
*The day when the friends were supposed to meet arrives it is 3am and they are preparing to head out.
Aqib:Lets go guys it is still dark so we will probably not run into any danger.
Muneeb:We will finally meet abuturab again!I wonder how strong he has become.
Shaheer:Me too but I think we are much stronger than him now since we got our hands on a shit load of sarps.
Aqib:Maybe but it IS abuturab he probably got up to some shenanagins as well.
Shaheer:Ok enough talk lets get going.
(Just as they start walking darkness covers the area no one is able to see anything aqib calls out to his friends but does not get the response he was expecting)
Aqib:*What the hell*Shaheer! Muneeb! Can you hear me?
UnknownVoice:They are sadly not present here..but we will be kind enough to keep you company.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
(Suddenly the visibility returns aqib finds himself in a giant box with purple wall with strange markings in front of him stand 2 people)
Aqib:Who are you? and where am I?
Rank#9:I am the 9th ranked general and he is the 7th you are not the only one experiencing this your friend the one with decay powers is facing the 11th and 12th while the matter reconstructer is facing the 10th.
Aqib:I am facing the strongest generals? I am flattered.
Rank#9:Haha you are a funny guy too bad you decided to mess with the wrong people.This arena was made by the 10th's ability,this ensures no one will interrupt ANY of the fights.This will be your grave.
Aqib:I would'nt be so confident if I were you.I am full of surprises.
Rank#7:Enough talk lets get started!
(The 7th rushes at aqib, aqib tries to build a wall to defend but nothing happens he gets punched in the gut and sent flying"Hmm it seems I can only use air in here this is quite bad".)
*Meanwhile in another arena
(Muneeb questions the 10th while he hangs upside down from the roof of the arena)
Rank#10:XD YES YOU ARE RIGHT I AM SO PROUD OF YOU I HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OVER THIS ARENA XDXDXD.
Muneeb:*Is he on some drugs or something?*
(The 10th suddenly rises from the ground in front of muneeb with a large grin and says"Well hello there (:" and smacks him away but just before he can smash into the wall he appears there and strikes him again muneeb bounces from wall to wall as the 10th continuesly pounds him eventually Muneeb is able to dodge an attack and escape the deadly loop)
Rank10:Hehehehehehehehehehhehehehhehehehehhehehhehehehehehhehehehehehehheheheehhehehehehhehehehehehehe
Muneeb:CAN YOU STOP LAUGHING???
Rank#10:Why? does it annoy you that much?
(Muneeb reconstructs the air into metal and absorbs it's properties)
Rank#10:OH MY THAT IS QUITE SOMETHING HEHEHHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEEHEHHEHEHEHHEEHHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHHEHEHE
(Muneeb having enough points 2 of his fingers at the 10th)
Rank#10:? What are you pointing at? Do I have something in my teeth?
(Muneeb rapidly extends those fingers and they pierce right through the 10th's chest)
Rank#10:Now Now my beloved that is not a very nice think to do(He says while holding his wound)
Muneeb:Can you shut the hell up and start fighting?
Rank#10:If you say so cuitie ♥
Muneeb:*Ayo??*
(The 10th slashes the area in front of him with his hand and a rip appears he puts his hand in it and pulls out a sword)
10th:Time for some fun ♥
(The 10th jumps at muneeb slashing his arm off while continuesly smiling muneeb reconstructs his arm instantly and pounds him into the ground but he dissapears into the ground appearing behind muneeb trying to slash him again but muneeb deflects the attack he retreats to a wall"lets see if you can survive this(:" rapidly jumps at muneeb slashes then dissapears he continueously does this slashing muneeb over and over again muneeb reconstructs his body and tries his best to deflect)
*Meanwhile Shaheer is confronted by the 2 lowest rank generals
Shaheer:If you think you can beat me you are sorely mistaken.Unlike my companions my abilities are specifically suited towards Killing people(Shaheer says while giving the two a death stare)
12th:Master it would be unwise to get close to him.
11th:Yes my student Thankfully our abilities are long range for him this is the worst possible matchup.
(The 11th materializes a blue shiny bow and the 12th remains silent)
Shaheer:I suppose rank 12 is your student?
11th:Yes your observation is correct.Now please do me a favour.....and DIE.
(11th pulls on the string of the bow and a magical arrow appears out of nowhere he fires it at shaheer but shaheer dodges it.Suddenly shaheer is surprised to see the 12th dangerously close to him he realizes that the arrow was just a distraction.
12th:"Bound by the cold you feel the embrace of death"(He says while holding his hand towards shaheer)
(Shaheer feels cold shivers run throughout his body as he starts breathing heavily)
Shaheer:What*Gasp* did you *Gasp* do?
12th:My power is that I can slow down people by applying a debuff on them which causes them to feel very cold.You have already lost this battle.
Shaheer:Its not over yet I will fight to my last breath!
(Neglecting the effects of the 12th's ability he rushes towards him the 11th seeing this fires a barrage of arrows at him but shaheer uses radiation to destroy them mid air and proceeds to kick the 12th right in his face recovering from the attack the 12th pulls out a dagger and stabs him in the leg)
Shaheer:SHIT!
11th:Well done!
12th:Thanks master!
11th:Time to end this
(The 11th's bow dissapears as he raises his hand and shaheer is surrounded by arrows that appear from thin air)
Shaheer:I REFUSE TO LOSE LIKE THIS!
(Shaheer dashes towards the 12th who is caught off guard the 11th arrows fly towards him but before they can reach him he rips off one of 12th's arms and plunges his fist through his heart killing him instantly , right after killing him he gets shot by all the arrows at once which imobalizes him)
11th:NO! Damn You! You killed my student!
Shaheer:Cry me a river(He says while vomiting blood)
The three main heroes are on the verge of loosing can they really turn this battle around? Find out next time.
