Chapter 424
His warning was cut short. With no preamble, the figure of the possessed captain materialized directly in front of him. The captain’s mouth gaped open, filled with writhing black flames, aimed directly at Ikem. There was no time to react, no time to dodge. Instinctively, Ikem dropped the rune pillar he carried, thrusting it forward as a makeshift shield. The unnatural heat radiating from the black flames, the sheer wrongness of their nature, warned him of the immense danger they posed. The pillar, a conduit of divine power, was his only hope.
His giant body at the same time shrunk to avoid being touched by the flames.
A few moments back, Myrrha, Ash, Brook and Tula who stayed hidden suddenly went into a state of alert once they saw Ikem their grandfather stop.
Unlike Ikem, they could sense nothing as they had never faced anything similar before but it was enough seeing their grandfather stop.
Acting quickly, they made a sign for the small elite army following behind them to stop. Suddenly everyone heard the urgent voice of Ikem who couldn’t finish his word before being attacked out of nowhere.
Here the word "Training for the upside" Even if it wasn’t finished, everyone already got an idea of what they were about to face. Something Ikem made sure they understand the severity of facing with the most important part not to let the enemy touch and grab you to the other world.
Sadly some of them were too late to react as feathered Zealots seem to materialize from thin air, their thin feathered hand being the last thing seen covering their face before being dragged away into the other world.
Still the apelings proved why they were Elite as training kicked in with a mana construct replica of each guard appearing on the surface of their body which the Zealots made contact with in an attempt to pull them into the other world.
Only to grab to be surprised when their target was not with them back at the upside down world.
