The Earth After Rebirth

Its tongue came out more crimson than before, it was performing the act very slowly as if afraid that the moment would disappear and it would\'ve all been a dream. Its claws were marinated in not only blood but also bits of Nikolai\'s flesh.

That was also something it enjoyed apparent, as it chewed like it was the most amazing, premium meat that had ever graced its teeth.

"Excellent." It growled lowly. "You will do about as well."

Kiro could feel the power boost it had gotten, a single slip up would mean game over for them, he had no choice but to watch the very disgusting scene in front of him.

Nikolai didn\'t answer his question, though he grunted. He took that as a yes that only meant he was still alive, and began moving towards their enemy.

Leaving him at the hands of their healers. They could quickly took him inside the doom. They felt idiotic thinking it would be any safe under there, but it gave them a sense of comfort. It made them heal in peace, so they started on Nikolai.

"You\'re an active little one aren\'t you? I bet you taste even better. I guess you\'re next, the others will just be sheep since they can\'t put up a fight against me." It bragged.

Kiro had a sickening feeling deep within the pits of his stomach. He wanted more than anything to beat this perverted creature impeding their path to the throne room. His stomach dropped however when it disappeared from where he was headed and appeared right in front of him.

He was still airborne, he had no hopes of turning at that moment. He could see clearly the claws aiming for his stomach, he had great armour and a great constitution. He just wasn\'t sure they\'d hold up against those.

Just in the nick of time, two of his other selves appeared side by side and used both of their staff to block the claws from reaching Kiro. Ryu didn\'t have a scratch on him, though he vibrated uncomfortably at the meeting of those claws.

This was something he\'d never done before. It was as if he was warning his master of how much stronger the thing in front of them was, he was scared just uncomfortable, not wanting to accept yet another defeat.

That\'s when the staff did the unbelievable, he shot out of his master\'s hands. Headed straight for the godlike being. All three of them starting fighting, blocking and actually bruising it with the strong strokes.

"You can control your weapon from afar? Just who the f*ck are you kid?" It growled clearly being challenged by the three Ryu\'s, albeit they weren\'t doing much damage. Enjoy new adventures from m-v l\'e|-NovelBin.net

"Just a nobody descended from a certain monkey." Kiro proclaimed proudly.

The sky rumbled and lightning stroke Kiro. His entire bodies were covered with it. His very blue eyes were more pronounced because of it.

The monster couldn\'t help but be confused at the proclamation. The only monkeys it knew were ones it could eat for snacks, not even a full course meal. And it wouldn\'t have known, as it wasn\'t a god. it still pondered the statement.

Kiro didn\'t waste much time, as all of him appeared at the front, at the back and at the top. Each with a different attack and because the Ryus were distracting, all the attacks landed. He could hear its bones crunch beneath that tough exterior it presented.

They didn\'t stop pounding it until it disappeared from where they were. One of the Kiro\'s was however already there, he didn\'t get so lucky this time as he received a knee to the gut. Causing him to empty his stomach of the meat he\'d had earlier, it was painted in red.

One of him received internal bleeding. Before the two could arrive, his neck was already snapped, the creature was starting to munch on him when he disappeared from its dangerous clutches.

"Dammit." It cursed, it was sure the one it had gotten was the real one. "A real neat trick kid."

It turned just in time to welcome them. It was like their previous attacks were all but null, it didn\'t seem injured which frustrated Kiro even more. No matter what they did, it didn\'t seem to work, but he\'d be damned if he gave up now. He didn\'t want to be dinner for some low level being.

"You act so highly, but you\'re just sh*t stuck at the bottom of your gods shoe." He began his taunts, hoping that would at least serve as a great distraction, he was sure he could decapitate it given the chance.

Its expression shocked him. It grinned, revealing its sharp teeth. It had lived for a very long time, stupid taunts would have a better chance working on ants like Kiro, not it.

"You\'ll have to do better than that." It\'s smile didn\'t leave its muzzle. As it punched the weapons out of the way and went straight for their wielders.

"Okay, I\'ve seen enough."

The creature skidded into a stop. It wanted to pull the hairs off its head. Because it had failed here, it would be punished for a very long time.

It and its master had a bet, it was absolutely sure it could do a better job than its brethren, the titans. But Prometheus told it, it was impossible but being the stubborn mule it was, it had ended up in a wager. A wager it had lost.

The others were petrified by the voice that seemed to come out of nowhere. But they recognised that it was the same one that talked to them at the beginning of this turmoil.

Kiro was a bit infuriated. Clearly the god of thus mountain was toying with them, using them as some sort of entertainment because he was probably bored. That\'s something he didn\'t appreciate.

Though he appreciated being alive, he was glad he wasn\'t being turned into mush by stomach acid right about now.

"You can come in, congratulations, against all odds, you\'ve made it to the throne room."

They all walked slowly towards the door that was opened from nowhere. Nobody wanted to be the first one to cross over, as their leader Kiro stilled his racing heart and crossed.

The other side wasn\'t anything amazing. It was just a normal dingy room. Reminding him of his old house, a vein popped at his temple. Surely they didn\'t come all this way just to enter something so dirty, most of all, where were the rewards?

"I haven\'t used this place in a while, sorry I wasn\'t expecting guests." The voice said.

Kiro chuckled. \'The hell does he mean not expecting guests? He knew we were coming!\'

"I\'ll be honest. I didn\'t think you lot would make it this far, my creations have failed me."

\'Wait, can he actually read my mind?\'

"Yes."

Kiro tried his best to stop thinking but it didn\'t seem to be working. He was thinking all sorts of inappropriate things, like how he wished to beat the sh*t out of Prometheus.

"I\'m Prometheus the god of fire and illusions. I\'ll let you ask me one single question and I\'ll answer honestly."

"What are Harbingers?" Kiro\'s mouth worked faster than his mind. He couldn\'t stop those words from rolling out of his tongue.

"Hey!!! Shouldn\'t we have discussed this first? How come you get to ask!" Isaac was a little furious.

Though nobody could believe that it was him that actually spoke up they all agreed. Nobody wanted to be the one who agrees with Isaac though, so they just glared at the room, finding it very interesting all of a sudden.

"Actually, I think it\'s more fitting that he gers to ask. He\'s the one with the most contribution out of all of you." The voice retorted.

"Tsk." Was all Isaac managed to say. He wasn\'t sure what he\'d have asked, but asking about Harbingers was such a waste in his eyes.

"Let\'s see, harbingers? They\'re bringers." The voice said proudly with his summarised version of things.

"That\'s it? Bringers of what?" Kiro scratched his head confused.

"That\'s two questions now, and you\'ll have to do this all over again to find out."

He didn\'t need to see his face, but he could tell by the tone that it was one of elation and pride. Kiro stopped himself from almost telling it to drop here so he could kick its ass.

He looked back at his comrades, they had the most fierce and angry expressions on their faces. Except for Hiro, he saw this as an opportunity to collect more herbs.

"What do you guys say? A few more runs?"

They all groaned in reply.
