Chapter 277: End it All
Zayn grabbed the tiger beast lord in his hand, holding him firmly by the neck while sweeping him off his feet.
"Let go... you... ah..." The tiger lord struggled to breathe and free himself from his grip. But to no avail—Zayn held him firmly with an evil smirk.
"Ever since I was young... I’ve always wanted to hold you like this... choke you till you have no breath left in you," Zayn muttered, glaring at him with murderous eyes.
The tiger struggled but to no avail. Zayn held him firmly until he began choking. Then, smiling, Zayn threw him to the side.
He smashed him hard against the tree close by as the tiger lord crashed against the tree and fell down.
Pain crashed through his body as he struggled to get up. But Zayn was alert, standing before him with a smile on his face.
The tiger looked up at Zayn, speechless. "You... what do you think you’re doing?"
Zayn smiled. "Playing with you. Don’t you want to play anymore?" He questioned as he grabbed the tiger lord by the neck and pulled him up.
Zayn turned him into a punching bag, throwing him from place to place while beating him up.
He slammed him against trees endlessly until the tiger lord was bleeding all over and bruised too. But he didn’t even stop there at all.
He seized him by the neck and smashed his fist against his face until it was disfigured. Zayn didn’t stop there at all. He continued taking advantage of the situation and beating up the tiger lord endlessly.
Seeing his face reminded him of his terrible past, which was simply because of them. So he took it all out on him, smashing him into bruises.
Karl was also doing the same. He was flying through the air with the eagle lord in his fist. He held him firmly while throwing him around like a punching bag as well.
Karl punched the eagle lord endlessly and then slammed him against a tree. Before the eagle lord could even fall, he picked him up again and spun him through the air, slamming him against another tree.
He continued like that until the eagle lord was covered in blood. In the process, one of his wings was injured badly. The eagle lord clearly couldn’t even fly anymore.
While the two continued beating them up, they decided to switch. Karl threw the eagle lord down for Zayn to catch and continue.
And Zayn threw the tiger beast lord into the air for Karl to also continue.
The eagle lord landed harshly on the floor, bleeding as he staggered backward to escape. But Zayn was standing before him with a smile and both arms folded.
"You... you monsters! Leave me alone! You won’t get away with this! I’ll make sure I kill you! I’ll make sure of it!" He insisted.
But Zayn scoffed coldly as he said, "You think that will end anything? Well, I’d like to see how you kill me first."
He smiled as he grabbed the eagle lord by the legs. The eagle screamed in pain while struggling to escape. But to no avail—Zayn pulled him in violently and swept him through the air and into the trees.
The eagle lord crashed violently into the tree as he cried out in pain. He could feel his whole body tearing apart. But Zayn didn’t care; he grabbed him and kept slamming him against every hard surface and even on rocks.
Blood spilled as the pain burst through the eagle lord. Both his wings were crushed; he certainly didn’t see himself using them at all anytime soon.
Karl, on the other hand, handled the tiger lord in the air, throwing him into the air while blowing and punching him into blood and bruises.
He slammed him against trees and picked him up again and continued the cycle until the tiger was losing himself.
With the smoke having paralyzed them, they couldn’t even fight back. They just sat there and watched themselves get beaten up.
The warriors watched, speechless. They wanted to step forward and save their lords even though they weren’t in the best state.
While they tried stepping forward, Eris and the rest came to stand before them.
Eris, Luka, and Azure had both arms folded while they stood before these warriors.
Eris smiled as he raised an eyebrow. "I wouldn’t even do that if I were you."
Luka nodded. "If you want to survive, then I’d recommend not even getting closer at all. It won’t be good for your health." He shook his head with a smile as he added, "But if you want to step closer... then don’t blame us for what happens next. Okay?"
The warriors paused. They stood there and stared at each other, speechless. They were at a crossroads and didn’t know what to do.
Go and risk their lives and defend their lords? Or just sit back and do nothing to stay alive? They could tell that the pain they were going through because of the smoke wasn’t going to make them fight properly.
So it was useless trying.
To Eris’s surprise, they stayed back and didn’t do anything. They didn’t try to defend their lords like loyal warriors would.
They simply stood there, staring.
Luka scoffed with a smile, arms folded as he said, "I guess they’re not so loyal to their masters at all. What do you think could be the reason?"
Eris shrugged with a smile as he said, "Even subordinates can hate their masters and still serve them. These tribe lords are big jerks, so I won’t be surprised if they also have a beef with him."
Luka smiled as well. "That’s better. At least less stress for us."
They continued watching the fight unfold between them—or rather, the way Zayn and Karl handled and beat up the two tribe lords without any mercy.
It was a brutal beating session. They weren’t taking any pity on them while tearing them down.
Sunnie couldn’t even help but pity them as she watched, shaking her head. She guessed her husbands really did go through enough hell for them to treat them like that.
Little Black stood there watching with immense attention. But Zukka, who was standing behind him, closed his eyes with both hands.
"What again now?" Little Black asked.
Zukka smiled while staring down at him. "You can’t watch such things. Not good for your eyes at all. You’re still little."
Little Black folded his arms in protest as he said, "I’m not a kid at all. I’m older," he insisted again as Zukka smiled.
Zukka ran a hand through his hair, patting him by the ears as he nodded, saying, "Yes, yes... that’s true. So true and cute of you... Older Black." He teased.
---
Zayn and Karl continued until long. They threw the two tribe lords to the floor, leaving them battered and bruised. The two of them were bleeding profusely, and it was clear they wouldn’t survive for too long at all.
While they lay there on the floor, struggling to breathe, Zayn and Karl came to stand before them again.
They stared at the two great lords on the floor with cold expressions. There was no empathy in those eyes—only murderous glares.
"You..." The tiger struggled to say. "You can’t do this to us... we gave you somewhere to stay when you were little... you can’t... you can’t be ungrateful." He muttered.
But Zayn smiled as he said, "Is that so? Then why don’t you stay in that house you gave us forever?" He said as he picked up a weapon on the floor—a weapon belonging to the warriors of the tribe.
Karl also picked up his as the two of them stood there, staring at the weapon and the almost lifeless men lying there.
"What do you want to do?" The eagle questioned. "You can’t do that! You can’t!" He panicked, knowing that they were about to be killed.
The eagle instantly called out in his pain, "You stupid warriors! Come and defend us! Come and fight for us! Come and save us! Come right now, you useless beastmen!"
He snapped, but to no avail. No one was coming to save them.
Karl casually smiled as he said, "No one is coming for you. No one will ever come for you. Now learn the feeling of being betrayed and left alone." He smiled as they moved closer to them.
"Say your last words," Zayn said with a cold smile as they stared at the horror on their bruised and disfigured faces. "You’ll need those last words even though no one will care and come for you... at least you’ll need it."
With that, the two of them made their way close to end them.
The two lords lay there without any way to even help or save themselves. It was clearly over for them. No matter how much they screamed to be let go, it was all in vain.
Because Karl and Zayn ended the two of them, letting their blood spill in the surrounding.
