Facing off a leopard man, a thing in his life never seen before, might scare some other guy from Cristala, but Daring is a different type of man, a man made of stone, in a time where man is made of paper, a trap of society hierarchy, a man made of plastic powers, plastic prowess, A Primavorian, a dangerous one after all,
Primavorian was running around and marking territory like a predator in a jungle, his markers instead of urine he leaves plastic drops beneath the surface, his plastic power is like a plastic melting, the same one with a terrible smell, is the smell adapted to Trashia, or it was always like that?
Asars is going around, the main event for today is these two behemoth men in size facing off, On this planet a face-off is to the death, there's no honor among criminals they say, but here to death means to the death,
By the looks of its movements, this Primavorian is holding on in its speed and power, nothing gives the looks of amazing strength, two opposites, he doesn't face hand to hand, Daring faces only hand to hand,
Daring - If you keep running and plowing the surface you aren't killing me, you overgrown house cat!
Primavorian - Did the rock talk?
Daring - So let me guess, you want me to come to you? And so I can entrap myself?
Primavorian cracked a smile, followed by a smirk, he backed down thirteen meters, and his eyes too turned to a plastic form of liquid, brown plastic eyes,, all the plastic drops on the ground started shinning,
Primavorian - Arise " The Forgotten Army of Smir "
The ground started shaking, and Asars went from investigating to being locked in the fight, not every day do you see someone use an Arise power, his father can use it, but on a scale of army.
How did they imprison this man, what is he hiding, Thursday saw Asars and both in silence agreed, on a planet like they are, honor is for the fool!
Daring - I see, you, you are a one-of-a-kind, tourist killer!
Primavorian - You should have knocked me down boy, for now, you shall join the goners, the ones we forget, the lost ones, the universe is a maze, even tho its 99 percent empty, is a fucking maze boy, and you, just for a moment shall see its terrifying nature,
Every single person and creature except the mercenary guards started running, from the rumbling underneath the ground, the surface cracked, somewhere a head, somewhere a hand, made of black and brown plastic material, molded in, burned in, a 2348 things army raised, some missing a head, some missing a hand, made only of plastic, some with weapons as bodies, and some with weapons of its own,
Daring only smiled, this entry of a journey, could end now, to fail without even starting, the difference in power seems abnormal, how can someone who can use Arise live here? Someone who by his will alone can manipulate the power to a level it shines his will in a worldly form fighting for him as him, we are in endgame, without even playing,
Asars - You seem like a worthy opponent, but I think one versus thousands is not honorable,
The Primavorian saw Asars and invited him to the party, with a nodding gesture, and his hand inviting him in,
No to the No and No, - Daring shouted,
Thursday - What No you rock head? Do you see where we are, and what is going on, it's not even a night already and we're facing death.
Primavorian saw and laughed,
This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it
Primavorian - But aren't we facing death in every decision, The decision to live is a heavenly way to die!
Daring bowed his head,
Daring - If anyone interferes here today, I shall kill myself, I might be a rock head, or a lover of rock, anyway, I was raised by the honor-bound, even if my enemy doesn't, I have it, I shall die or I shall survive, that is up to me, please go ahead and find the Pergamen to move to the next planet, if I don't reach you later, throw a rock in a lake,
Asars bowed his head and took Thursday with him, she started crying, breaking apart, and hitting Asars with mini arrows of flame, which couldn't even burn his clothes,
Primavorian - Well, god dammit, what do I get here?
Daring - Death!
The gaze of of a silent animal, the one who never moves, the one who sits beneath the water, the water that tempts you to get in, but urban legends have taught you to not swim in those waters, in those lurking alleys of crystal clear waters always a hidden animal rests,
Instead of laughing in its face, he stood shocked by his words, until now crying of fear, and a declaration of honor to the man stating he will kill him,
With a hand move the army went to kill Daring, but not only that, from the distance Primavorian was looking for an opening to strike Daring, but his body made of stone was a bit of a problem, he might have an army, but plastic is weaker than stone,
Daring has acknowledged this, this Primavorian wants a long distance and a long battle, a battle of stamina and power, even tho the army is great and large, it will take a large stroll in his physic, looking by it some of the army soldiers aren't moving at all,
He had never faced these many opponents, in his village there weren't these many people, but something off felt there, these plastic creatures felt too real to be just power, they were like resurrected zombies coated in plastic, the skin, the wrinkles, the joints,
The battle had begun and the first strike was upon Daring, who with a single fist decapitated one of the attacking soldiers, but to his surprise, instead of breaking apart, the whole soldier exploded in liquid plastic covering his whole body, and forcing him to submit,
The same happened with the following soldiers, one by one they all exploded, making a gravesite of liquid plastic, submitting him to the ground under the plastic, he might be made of stone, but oxygen is still the main source of life to him,
Primavorian - The more they speak the faster they go, you have never been to war kid, do you think honor wins wars, no, men win wars,
More like babbling than speaking, hardly breathing under that pit of never-ending soldiers coming and exploding, his words were "Men have Honor"
He pulled himself against it, facing upwards, lifting a weight of tons, or more, his whole body trembling, legs were breaking, in a second or next he would face the ground again,
Primavorian was amazed by this man, still trying,
Primavorian - Why do you keep facing it, accept it, you will die, it is easier to know it and defy it, pain should be accepted, not defied, it could have been me too in this situation, and if I was, I would lie there in peace, the time comes for all of us,
He threw all the plastic he could away and grabbed the Primavorian by his chin, a man now covered in scorching plastic, tearing little by little his stone skin, shedding dust, and started choking him,
Primavorian smiled, and exploded in plastic aswell, a weird laugh was heard, one of an animal drinking water, an eerie feeling in the air, in another corner he was constructed by his soldiers, brick by brick of melted plastic until it formed itself again,
Daring - What kin of beast are you?
Primavorian - The Undying One,
Daring - And the soldiers?
Primavorian - Those who were honorable,
Daring saw his body and the situation, even the squares on his skin were fading and were filled mostly with plastic, without counting the plastic unwillingly he had swallowed while being submitted to the ground,
Primavorian - You are going through a transformation, you will be one of my soldiers too, unfortunately, boy,
Daring - I choose Death, I chose it in the First place didn't I, my tongue without a proper mouth master got me in this situation, and it will get me out too,
Primavorian - Care to explain how?
Daring - No,
Sprinted against him, who in a split second jumped away and was surrounded by its soldiers,
Daring smiled and started striking the soldiers again even tho they self exploded to cover him, but this time the moment they exploded, Daring took a deep breath, and opened thousands of pores on his skin absorbing all the plastic,
The moment Daring absorbed the plastic, Primavorian couldn't manipulate it anymore, it lost control over its power,
Daring - I might does it not take a philosopher to understand porosity!
Primavorian - What does that mean?
Daring sprinted toward him, but its speed lacked a lot compared to the enemy, so he didn't hit the target, he only wanted all the soldiers at once to attack him in response to protecting The Primavorian,
In less than 3 strikes and 8 minutes, he had absorbed 800 of its soldiers, and had no signs of stopping, or getting bigger and fatter,
