Chapter 40 Disgusting Creature

Jade watched the scene before her eyes in horror; what she was witnessing was something that she thought one might only see in a horror film.

On the verge of throwing up, she exclaimed, "What is that thing?!"

As the creature's eyes slid forward from the side, revealing a dark orange hue, its hands that were on its side started to form an array of leaf-like patterns flowing from the other side of its arms.

Tyree spoke up, explaining, "These are Creatures from another place that are trying to invade the world for some unknown reason."

"These creatures come from a realm called the vale of despair, as we like to call it."

"Some come in with enhanced thinking, while others are just some brainless creatures."

"They always spawn in high-density locations, making it difficult to control and handle them, but thanks to the intel division, we have always been able to get a jump on these creatures before they spawn and create any chaos."

"Thanks to the intel division that had been in place for the last 100 years or so, we have managed to contain these creatures with the assistance of the 3 houses who have been working together for since before these creatures started showing up."

Jade gave Ashaiki a look of confusion as Tyree took off his black-robed attire, revealing a black and red skin-tight shirt that he wore underneath before stating, "I'll take this creature on myself."

Lowering his stance and placing his hand on the ground, flames slowly circled around his palm. Once the flames had enveloped his hands, they broke out in multiple directions, consuming and burning away the black sludge, prompting the creature to direct its focus down on Tyree, while he exclaimed, "What is food doing to my domain?"

After a short, broken breath, the creature stated, its voice filled with a sense of superiority, "Learn your place, human, and bow down to me."

"Sorry, you ugly worm, but you've got it wrong about us humans," Tyree retorted.

Squatting down to meet the creature's eyes, Tyree's eyes burned with hatred as he gripped the creature by its broken jaw before declaring, "You deserve everything that's coming your way. Humans have a nasty habit of fighting back."

The creature, annoyed, attempted to plant its hand into the ground, but Tyree crushed it with a kick. Despite this, the attack still went off as a dozen vines covered in thorns shot out in an attempt to swarm Tyree. However, he simply sidestepped out of the way, shocking Jade with his speed and quick response.

"That was almost as fast as Master Gojaro's speed," she remarked.

Realizing the futility of the situation, the creature attempted to make a dive into the river behind them only to collide with an invisible wall. Cursing out, it exclaimed, "What's going on?"

"Oh, you thought you were allowed to simply leave and terrorize people?" Tyree chided.

"No, no, I am sorry to say this, but you're trapped here with us. Not that we are trapped with you," he continued, his voice echoing over the serene river that now acted as a border between the creature's desperate escape and Tyree's relentless pursuit of vengeance along with his companions. "ARRRRRR"

In a final act of desperation, the creature roared out with its back against the invisible wall, creating a giant lotus plant from both his hands that began to charge up a large beam of green energy. Tyree was caught off guard as it launched the attack at an increased speed and while he tried to catch it, the creature dove into the ground before reappearing right behind him in an attempt to catch him off guard and strike a fatal blow.

Forming a grass blade, the creature attacked Tyree's back. However, with a smirk hung on the corner of his lips, Tyree sidestepped slightly as he caught the blade between his arm and turned around and jeered, "You can have this back."

Tyree's quick reflexes allowed him to evade the attack just in time, however, the creature, still surprised by Tyree's sudden movement, found itself momentarily disoriented, making it hard for the creature to dodge its own energy attack as Tyree deftly moved out of the path. The energy attack collided with the creature, giving rise to an explosion. As the creature tried to piece itself back together, Tyree walked over to its crumbling body and performed a triangle hex seal with his hands before declaring, "Burn to ashes and don't return."

As he stepped on the creature's exposed heart, it began to dissipate and fall apart, eventually decaying into nothing as the rest of the black sludge also started to fade away, leaving the serene riverbank at peace once again.

"Well, that's that, isn't it, y'all?" he states with a big grin and an exaggerated accent, just as a voice cracked from somewhere around them.

"It sure seems like it. You sure are strong. Can I test my LUCK against you?"
