Chapter 124: 120: Creature in the Lake pt 1

Lord's Manor,

Blackmoon clan,

Torug's POV,

I silently looked at the two empty sigil slots and decided to use one of them for the creature in the lake.

My talk with Vass helped me confirm one thing, this sigils reduces the creature's hostility towards me... but does this effect spread out to my people?.

Presently, all villagers have the tiger tattoo while my vassals have the dragon added to theirs. perhaps that's why the tiger didn't continue it's rampage the other night.

After a while, I Unconsciously let out a sigh before steeling my resolve while preparing for the worst.

Recalling the image the author had posted that depicted the creature in the lake. It was a reptilian creature, reminiscent of a snake with whitish black, double layered, glass-like scales, it was said to be at least 250 miles in length. The exact size of the creature was unknown because what was stated by the author still shows that the creature never completely left the lake when it chose to battle. during the human siege, it's armored scales made it impossible to kill the beast, this forced the army to retreat.

it was seen in the artwork that, it had a double layer of armored scales that protected its flesh, in fact they were layered so closely together that I suspect not even air could get through!.

Funny enough, this creature was also praised for its strange beauty. The mighty beast was said to have qualities that are fluorescent in nature. Its eyes and whitish black scales are said to have a dim sort of light that is thought to intensify if it breaks the surface of the ocean.

As I recalled all these, the creature was slowly being drawn on the sigil space, infact the system already began to fill in the places that were not seen on the picture.

[Do you wish to confirm the displayed Sigil above?]

There it was in all its Glory, the creature to be feared by many, there was a rumor going around while I was on earth, saying that this creature could probably go toe to toe with the world eater, people disagreed saying that it had not shown any signs of magic despite getting attacked by a massive army, so it was impossible to fight the world eater...

"yes"

The moment I accepted, the unimaginable happened.

A pain I had never felt before since all my evolutions and use of sigils, assaulted me.

The sound of bones breaking, rang out repeatedly as I somehow fell to the floor with a pained roar. Nazu came in through the hall doors and dashed towards me, unfortunately Moz appeared next to me immediately.

The audible sounds of bones breaking and amending themselves, brought Nazu out of her dazed expression.

Urim couldn't be bothered with any of them as he helped me up, only for my legs to give way accompanied by another loud crackling sounds like a mini thunder storm. I could feel my body heating up and sweat rolling down across my body.

Dabok soon arrived and began to chant something but it was useless, my clarity was evading me with every minute but the activity within my body was relentless.

'Did something go wrong? no if it did, I would have been alerted by the ...' I thought silently before a dreadful scream escaped my mouth.

'My spine'...

My heart beat picked up and all our tattoos began to glow light green with each beat from my heart. too bad I'm not in the mood to figure out the reason.

I tapped Urim frantically and said with much effort, "Let...l...let me..."

"Yes Brother, tell me..." Urim says with gritted teeth and a worried but resolute expression. He's probably wondering who did this to me or something along the lines.

"Let me lie...down" I finally managed to say in a somewhat full sentence but even that was accompanied with a scream, at this point I couldn't feel my feet anymore.

soon the wolves began howling outside, it gave a sad vibe, obviously showing how they were feeling presently.

'you guys ... I'm not even dead yet, don't jinx it for me'

Meanwhile I've been trying to communicate with the system but it remained silent, this went on for hours without mercy until it was close to midnight before it stopped.

"Sixteen hours of suffering" I say while sitting up but something else surprised me and that was my voice. it was like I listening to 'Jeremy irons' voicing scar.

I looked up at the others and found them looking at me in shock and it was obvious they had been that way for hours.

Nazu's POV,

'it finally stopped...' a sigh escaped my lips as I could finally relax, 'but why is he not waking up?, he doesn't seem to be breathing either'.

I looked at the others and noticed that they had the same expression, Janetta didn't look worried though, so I asked what she thought.

"He's fine...I can feel it, after all if he's dead I would be as well" She says but I couldn't understand what she meant by that.

after waiting for an hour or so, Torug finally started showing changes.

His tusks began to look thicker and his tattoos glowed green, ours followed soon after and everyone could finally relax. Although we didn't know what the glow meant, it set out minds at ease.

"Sixteen hours of suffering"

When he spoke, he also sounded different and when he sat up, we saw it.

Short Bone spike grew out of his spine repeatedly and went back into his body.

His height increased and his muscles became firmer, his greenish gold eyes glowed even brighter than before. Soon he walked towards his throne in an uncaring manner.

'Strong'

While thinking of this, we watched him sit down and take a deep breath.

"What happened?" Dabok asked, voicing everyone's confusion.

"It seems like I channeled or did something that my body couldn't handle completely, luckily it worked out in the end" Torug explains but it only made us more confused, too bad we didn't have the chance to enquire further because Torug said something shocking.

"The Greyeye clan, have long since been targeting us and even have a hiding place within our lands".

"What?!" everyone was shocked, so I wasn't the only one that was unaware of things this time.

While we mummured, He continued, "Yes, and they have been capturing wild or magic beasts for a while now... what do you think they're doing?."

No one said anything but then I thought of something I had once seen, "Could they be preparing a ritual?".

"It's very likely..." Lovan says.

Torug looked at me for a bit and asked, "and when do they usually do rituals or sacrifices in the orc lands?".

Hearing his question, I answered without much thought as it was so simple, "War of course..." while answering though, it hit me.

What war are they preparing for, there's no news from the white mountain which was their alleged enemies.

"Kharag is very cunning, I can bet you that, we're probably the only ones who are unaware of his declaration of war." Torug rubs his Jaws while smiling? before muttering "I could get used to this voice".

others may not have heard it but Urim and I did, because of how close we were to the throne.

"Perhaps, they announced their declaration of war to the major clans while leaving us out of the loop for a surprise attack" Dabok says...

His words made me think of his visit, "He came here, claiming to be inviting us for a feast but the others would see it as him coming to declare war" I blurted out in surprise.

"a perfect evidence to defend his actions, if anyone accused him of sneak attacking later, the other clans would defend him while accusing us of being weak and it's only right to be taken" Torrelsav quickly added.

Dabok looked at the rest of us before saying, "we're already fighting a war without knowing it... and I'm there'll be witnesses to this visit."

"What do we do brother?"

Torug looked at Urim before saying, "I have seen their place, they were fortifying their fortress not decorating and I know they already have their soldiers in our lands, so I say we give them a surprise".

"What would you have us do" I asked, happy that I can finally do something for my mate... even though he has been with another before me...
