Chapter 113 Betrayal
The fire bear roars and then charges towards us, the flame around its arm increasing with each passing second.
" Ian, wait here, Uncle will be back in a second. " first Uncle said after putting me down on the ground and shuffling my hair.
I nodded, my legs trembling in fear, no matter what I think the fear gripping my heart just won't disappear. He gave me a sad look and then turned to look at my third uncle and the brave warrior.
" Haha let's teach this little boar a lesson. " the brave warrior jeered, as his horns glowed and red coloured spikes began to appear on his hands, legs and back. " T-There's no way we can defeat something like that. " third uncle said, as he walked back and stood next to me, cowering in fear.
Instead of asking the third uncle to fight, the first uncle looked at second uncle and spoke while activating his own KIR powers:
" Give us strength. " " Krie hiao zimu wiqaee... " The second uncle raised both his hands into the sky and then began to chant strange incantations. A bright yellow light was emitted out of his horns, before travelling towards the two warriors. Ready with their preparation, both of them position themselves to defend against the fire bear's attack. *ROARRRRRRRRR*
*BOOOOOOOOM*
The bear roars loudly and brings both his claws toward the two men. First uncle places both his arms above his head and takes the brunt of the attack, while the brave warrior, points the spikes that were present on his arms, upwards. " Kuahahaha, how do you like, boar? My spikes also have the ability to poison the enemies, it's just a matter of time, before you die. " the brave warrior's spikes were able to pierce the bear's skin, by using its strength against it. *ROOAAAARRRRRRRRR*
It roared again in pain, then ignoring the brave warrior, the bear looked at first uncle whose hands were trembling slightly after taking the beast's attack head on.
The bear turns its complete attention to eliminating 1st uncle first, and so, it lunges towards him. Despite being bulky, first uncle's body was quite agile, with a slight motion he was able to dodge the attack of the bear.
" Nooo, protect Ian. " the first uncle shouted to the third uncle. Since I was standing behind him, first uncle regretted dodging the attack.
But I wasn't the main target of the bear, after the first uncle moved away, it charged towards the third uncle.
" Hiieeeeeeeeek, s-sorry son, but I don't want to die. " the third uncle said, as he pushed me towards the bear.
*SLASSHHH*
" Ahhhhhhhhhh " I cried out in pain, as the bear's claws struck my right arm, cutting it off completely from the elbow and throwing me back.
I fell back, clutching my severed arm, as pain and fear took a hold of my body and mind. I was on the verge of passing out, when the Fire bear raised its hands again, ready to deal the final blow.
No matter how much I tried, my body wouldn't move, in the end, all I could do was close my eyes and wait patiently for the blow that was going to end my life.
" You bastard, how could you do this to someone who is like a son to you? "
I heard my first uncle's voice, as he struck the bear's leg from behind, which made the bear to lose balance and fall back. " Haaaaaaaah!! Die pigggyyyyyy " the brave warrior roared, as he increased the size of the spike to around 40cm that was present on his elbow and pushed it directly into the bear's eyes.
The spike was only able to pierce his eye ball slightly, when the bear hit him with his claws, throwing the brave warrior away.
I looked back and found that the third uncle was already gone, looking to the side, I saw the second uncle approaching me, a worried expression on his face.
" Take Ian and run. " the first uncle shouted.
The bear slowly got up on his legs and glared at first uncle, even though the poison was not enough to kill the bear, but it made the bear's mind a little fuzzy.
The second uncle picked up my severed arm and after throwing me on his shoulder, he looked at the first uncle and spoke.
" Brother, come back safely. "
" You too, go with them. " the first uncle said to the brave warrior. Since the second uncle isn't much of a fighter, the brave warrior would be able to protect both of us.
Without saying anything, the brave warrior nodded and took the lead, as the three of us ran towards the door. The bear tried to stop us, as it took unsteady steps, waving its claws.
The first uncle locked the enormous bear in a stalemate, from behind he held both the bear's claws, as he shouted.
" I'll hold this boar back, go bring Ian back to home. " As we ran, I saw my first uncle fighting the bear ferociously. Slowly the image of uncle disappeared from my eyes, as we dodged all the monsters that came our way.

After escaping from the arena, the three of us ran into the forest that surrounded the human city. Once we were deep inside the forest, we stopped to take some rest.
" Ian, hold this in your mouth, this may hurt a bit. " second uncle said, giving me a piece of cloth.
After that he picked up the severed arm and placed it near my elbow, then using his KIR ability, he began to attach the arm back to my body.
" Ughhhhhhhhhh " I winced in pain, I could clearly feel the tissues and bones reconnecting.
And within twenty minutes, my arm was completely attached, it looked as good as new.
" There aren't many monsters in this forest and our home is about 13 to 14 miles away from here. Let's start heading back, if the first brother doesn't return by then, we'll go back with a backup. " second uncle spoke, as he healed the injury on the brave warrior's chest.
" Yes, I just hope my buddy stays alive till then. " the brave warrior said.
After resting for ten more minutes, we began our journey again, all three of us were worried about first uncle and were still angry at the betrayal of the third uncle.
We moved carefully, never letting our guard down, after travelling 7 miles we decided to rest again. " Ian can you use your KIR? " the second uncle asks.
Closing my eyes, I concentrated, trying to recreate the moments from my memories when I had previously used my KIR ability.
" No uncle, I can't. " I replied after trying.
Second uncle looked sad, but he quickly hid his expression from me and spoke: " Don't worry kiddo, I'll definitely find a way to heal you. "
Maybe it was because of my second uncle's reassuring look or maybe it was because of the pain I felt in my arm, but at that moment there was no fear in my heart.
With a big smile, I replied: " I know Uncle will definitely be able to- "
" Be careful, a mid rank demon is near. " the brave warrior spoke, gesturing us to stay quiet.
" It doesn't make any sense, why would a mid tier monster be here, it's the territory of a high tier monster. " he paused and then continued " There are only two possibilities, either the high tier monster has gone out of his territory or it must have been seriously injured. "
" It is the blind Dane. It's the devil that's close to becoming a high level. " the brave warrior said, his voice shaking slightly.
[ A/N: I'll comment the monster's image here, or you can see the images in the discord. ]
Holding in my breath, I leaned to the side taking a peek at the demon from behind the tree. And just as I saw its terrifying look, the fear that had been gone for some time now, made my body shake again.
******
After pushing Jayden towards the bear, the third uncle saw his opportunity and escaped from the place. He knew for sure that his older brothers would definitely kill him for doing such a thing.
But there was nothing in his heart besides the happiness of being alive, neither guilt nor regret. After coming out of the city, he carefully travelled in the forest.
He had already made up his mind to leave the tribe after taking some things from there, after all once Ian and orders returned he would be killed in the most horrible way.
With such thoughts in mind, he was even more firm on his decision, but then he sensed the presence of a strong demon around. His senses were the best among all the members of his tribe, so he was able to sense the monster from pretty far away.
Sensing the danger he quickly hid on top of a tree while also hiding his presence completely. He patiently waited for the demon to go away, but after a dozen or so minutes, he felt the presence of three more people from somewhere around.
Third was able to immediately recognise them, " So, the first brother wasn't able to make it, what a pity. " he muttered.
Then a big grin appears on his face, as he thinks:' These three came just right on time, now I'll be able to escape from here too. ' He had already done it once, so doing it again wouldn't be a big problem, any way if all three of them died here, then he wouldn't need to run away from his own home.
