Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

Chapter 345 Igbi Vs Ralph

It was in this manner that Ralph arrived at the location of the Wedding.

"Igbi! I know your power is in this sword. You have taken my Village and my woman. I am here to take all of them back." Ralph smile proudly. 

At this moment, Barbara in her curiosity could not help but ask a villager by her side for the full gist of the story. 

The Villager told her how things had been and how Igbi had saved the Village from the Blue mountain core lion and how Ralph had sacrificed Claudia for his own skin. 

The Villager also told of how Igbi had declared his love for Claudia, readily risking his life by jumping in from of the Cored beast to save her life.

Mani, at Barbara's ide also heard the story narration. 

It made him frown a bit. he could not help but feel a similarity with what was happening now with what had happened during his own wedding. 

of course, the circumstance were very different, they were still about the same consequence. That is, Igbi was about to lose his Wife. 

This made Mani's blood boil and he wanted to step in and help. Even though his power level was far more that ralph, he did not want what happened to himself to happen to Igbi. 

It was basically just an instinctive reaction to the present circumstances. 

However, Barbara stopped him. Her smile was one of a vixen that had found a new play thing. "You were able to prove your love for your woman. Let's see him do the same!" 

"But what if she..." 

"Dies? like your's did?" Barbara said out the words on Mani's mind. "If that happens, then you will step in. But until then, I advice that you remain where you are. Do not shame a warrior of the Aura tribes on his most important day!"

Barbara's words made Mani settle down. 

She was right. The Aura tribes always regarded strength above all things. If a man wanted a woman, he had the right to prove is love in combat. Even if he was to be defeated, he still had to prove it. 

After all, Love was still an action word. Meaning that the prove of it had to be expressed. 

This was a battle that no one could fight for Igbi except himself.

Chiron had a surprised look on his face. However, in his mind, he wore a broad smile. So far, everything was progressing all according to plan. 

he could already see Barbara and Mani far off at a corner. 

Right here and now, he had to ensure that he acted in a manner that would make them view him as worthy of becoming a close ally. 

After all, it was not just any kind of person that Barbara allowed into her circle. 

There were all of a certain caliber, and all had grounded honor and loyalty. 

He had to display his own. After all, the capability of a man was seen in the attitude of his character. 

Chiron suddenly stepped forward, as he waved his hand, tearing off his ceremonial attire. 

"Husband!" Claudia called to him in worry. 

However, Chiron raised a hand to her, "Do not worry my love. I always knew that a time for me to show the depth of my love would come. I did not think it will come on the day i can finally call you mine!" 

Chiron smiled at her. It was one of affection and fondness. It really moved the hearts of the crowd that watched the happenings. 

"It is quite unfortunate that the Chief has now passed on. I would have loved for him to see this.

We were only about to take our vows. I truly did not have much to say. However, let this battle serve as my vow to you. A display of my undying love and allegiance to You!" 

Those words made Claudia launch herself at him, "Igbi, No! don't do this!"

Chiron turned to Old Magu, "Grand mother! Please hold Claudia back. i don't want anything to happen to her."

Immediately, Old Magu grabbed Claudia and pulled her back, she was assisted by two other women. 

Claudia cried her heart out. She could see that for some reason, Ralph had become really strong. At least, strong enough to kill the Chief and according to what he said, also a blue cored mountain lion. 

Which such strength, he was practically a disaster waiting to happen.

However, she had now fallen in love with Chiron. She did not want him to come in harms way. besides, if any thing were to happen to him, she would fall prey to Ralph's sadistic hands. 

Old Magu comforted her as she stroked her hair, "Don't worry dear, my Igbi will get him for you." 

Claudia cried and screamed but could not stop what was to happen. 

At the same time, Chiron stepped forward, even though he wore his traditional attire for marriage, he still had a strong imposing herioc demeanor about him. 

It was one that even Mani could not help but nod at. 

"Ralph!" Chiron called out, "It is bad enough that you endangered the lives of those that have called themselves your brothers and sisters in this village, but was pardoned to still live on the land. Now, you even raised your own hand against your own father, taking his life. 

This is life that has in one way or the other blessed those of this village, accepted us and took care of us."

As Chiron talked, his hands gesticulated his passion, adding an extra layer of depth to his words. 

"This revenge I now carry out, is not for me but for the good people of this village and for the Late Chief!" 

Chiron's passionate words made some in the crowd to sob slightly. It was truly a painful thing for them to see their Village chief slaughtered, and what's more, at the hands of his own son.

And so amidst the towering peaks of the mountains, where the sky met the earth in a divine union, a clash of wills and steel was about to unfold. 

The air crackled with anticipation as Ralph, brandishing the mighty sword he had pulled from the stone, stepped forward with determined eyes. His heart beat in rhythm with the wild nature around him, echoing the primal challenge he was about to issue.

Chiron stood as a steadfast warrior of the Yellow Aura tribe. His chestnut eyes, sharp as the falcon's gaze, bore into Ralph, ready for the impending duel. He had no sword in hand, Ralph had his weapon. 

This was the intentional upper hand Chiron gave Ralph. After all, a good show needed a certain level of realism to it.

For this battle, Chiron's power lay not in the metal of blades, but in the potent energy of fear, a force that he could conjure and manipulate with sheer will. At least, this was what the people believed. 

The crowd, the very mountains themselves, seemed to hold their breath, creating a sacred space for the impending battle. The barbaric people knew no other way to settle disputes than with the clash of arms, and this day was no exception.

With a thunderous roar that echoed through the valley, Ralph lunged forward, his sword gleaming under the light of the moon. The clash of steel and energy resonated in the air, the meeting of two potent forces. Chiron's aura, a manifestation of fear, rippled outward, attempting to envelop Ralph in its paralyzing grip.

But Ralph was not to be swayed. With a primal roar of his own, he swung the sword in a wide arc, the blade humming with ancient power. The clash between the sword and Chiron's aura sent shockwaves through the earth, causing loose rocks to tremble and dust to rise like ghosts of battles past.

Barbara watched the battle and licked her lips, "interesting! No wonder those idiots I sent could not bring him in!" However, she suddenly frowned, "But its not enough!"

Just as she had thought, in no time, Ralph was suppressing Chiron with sword.

Chiron gritted his teeth, his aura flickering like a candle in the wind. His eyes, once sharp and confident, now held a glint of uncertainty. Ralph, fueled by his determination and the energy surging through him from the sword, pressed on. Every strike, every parry, sent sparks flying into the air, illuminating the battlefield like shooting stars in the broad daylight.

The mountains themselves seemed to shudder in awe at the spectacle unfolding before them. The clash between the sword and the intangible power of fear was a dance of elemental forces, a testament to the primal instincts that ruled these people's lives.

As the battle raged on, the crowd watched with bated breath, their eyes glued to the two warriors locked in combat. In that moment, amidst the peaks and valleys of their homeland, Ralph and Chiron embodied the spirit of their people: fierce, unyielding, and bound by the ancient code that dictated their way of life. The outcome of this battle would not only decide the fate of Ralph and Chiron but...
