RB Chapter 62 Preliminary Clash

Meanwhile...

At the western part of the city, the atmosphere was somewhat quiet, except for the pattering of the rain.

Another extra thing which was weird, was that multiple corpses of humanoid ants were spread around the Mpologoma clan's building, whose emblazoning was lighting up the place. The orange roaring lion was the only thing visible as if it was on a competition with the dulling visibility brought on by the rain.

Windows was shattered here and there across the height of the monolithic building, a sign that the ants had been attacking. But for some unexplainable reason, all of them were lying on the ground.

No visible wounds were on their bodies, begging the question, what caused their death?

Of course, many more were located in the building and the clan members were in the midst of nursing the wounded. But they made sure to give the corpses a wide berth lest they rise up once again. They were also not sure of what had happened. They had been in the midst of fighting, when the ants just up and died!

There was also something which wasn't supposed to be there, at the front of the building. It was a large tree which had grown up to the level of the floor containing the clan leader's office. Truly bizarre!

"Brat! You are truly in a class of your own!" An elderly voice came from the clan leader's office. The door had collapsed off its hinges and the office was visible.

Four figures were inside, being illuminated by a single overhead LED light panel on the ceiling.

The two closer to the desk were Lena and Leo Mpologoma, judging by there signature brown hair.

"Should I be happy that you praised me?" Leo asked in a calm voice. He was very calm as if everything was in his plans.

"Managing to instantly engineer a sonic frequency capable of taking out these ants is worthy of praise!" One of the two others once again said.

It was an elderly man dressed impeccably in a suit and holding g a cane. His short hair was combed back neatly.

"I am pretty sure you didn't come all the way here to offer praises, Elder Muti!" The only female in the room, Lena, shouted!

She was on the verge of erupting! She had been enjoying a great early morning sex with her husband, but the ants just had to come crawling at this early hour! That was why she was grouchy.

"If I am not mistaken, you must be that butler of the Masanyalaze clan. I didn't peg you as someone capable of joining this association. How curious!" Leo spoke to the other elderly gentleman in the room.

He was also clad impeccably in a suit and he was respectfully standing by Elder Muti's side.

"That was just a minor task that the elder had entrusted to me. My name is Mr. Lee." The elderly man bowed as he introduced himself.

"Cut the chit chat! What are you really here for, Mr. Lee and the big boss, Muti!"

"Lena, you are still young, there is no need to drop the honorifics. We are your elders here." Elder Muti had a frown cross his face at the way Lena disrespected him.

That was when something unexpected happened!

Leo clicked his tongue causing a ringing sound to be created! Elder Muti and Mr. Lee cradled their ears in pain when they heard the sound.

Leo materialised in front of them like a ghost! His palms were placed in their chests! It looked simple, but it had been fast!

The two men were hurled backwards and crashed into the wall, making human shaped holes! Their momentum didn't dissipate and they continued to pass through a multitude of walls before their backs hit the glass windows and they fell out of the building!

Midair, Mr. Lee spat out a glob of blood while Elder Muti, simply had a look of shock etched on his face.

"You like talking too much, that has always been your problem, Muti!!!" Leo's voice reached both their ears as they were still in midair.

Elder Multi hurriedly pointed his right hand towards Mr. Lee and a vine grew out from the center of his palm at a fast speed. It wrapped around Mr. Lee's body and his other arm sprouted another vine which he wrapped around one of the branches of the tree.

He then swung onto the stem and his feet sunk inside a little. It was smooth like a drop of water hitting an ocean.

"Thank you, Elder." Mr. Lee, who had been hurled into a branch, said after steadying himself.

Elder Muti didn't get to say anything because a burst of sound, produced by footsteps made the two of them shift their attention towards the floor they had just been on.

"Young ones these days have no respect for their elders." Elder Multi said as the gazes of the two groups clashed in midair.

Leo and Lena, standing at the edge of the building, Mr. Lee and Elder Muti, at the branches of the tree. Elder Multi had managed to arrive at the top from the stem.

"If you two are the only ones going to fight, then aren't you underestimating me?!" A burst of pressure inudated the two elders. It was accumulated from all the fights that Leo had been through in the wilderness! The two elders felt as if a large beast was eyeing them!

Their faces paled by a little causing a gasp of surprise from Leo.

'These elders have been in the city without accumulating any combat experience. Its surprising that they only paled a little.' Caution appeared in Leo's eyes upon seeing that.

"We had a companion, but now, he has been rendered useless." Elder Muti answered after regaining himself.

-------

Somewhere in one of the many holes dotting the ground around the Masanyalaze clan headquarters, there was a certain creature, whose chest was rising and falling gently.

It had two pairs of arms, a human head and two legs. Its posture suggested that it had been crawling through the hole onto the surface when something knocked it out cold!

Even when the rain water ran along its body, it showed no signs of waking up.

-------

"Oh! Who is this helper?"

"No need to know them." Elder Muti said before his eyes narrowed.

Sharp thorns abruptly created holes in his suit while growing out of his chest.

(Puff!)

Sounds of air being pierced rang out as they were launched towards the two Mpologomas on the opposite side! They were tiny and many!

A sound wave from Leo's mouth caused all the thorns to shatter in midair!

Leo didn't let up, he sucked on with his mouth causing his chest to expand, and then shaped his mouth into a tiny hole letting out what he had inhaled!

A sense of danger welled up in Elder Muti's heart when Leo's mouth was targeted towards him!

The branch under his feet slackened a little, then sprang up, causing him to be launched into the air!

A stream of air, only visible due to the distortions it caused in the rain passed through where he had just been!

It moved side to side, following the swivel of Leo's head!

Multiple branches were felled as a result causing them to plummet from the tree.

'Its like a laser beam! But I bet its just compressed soundwaves,' Elder Muti thought when he observed the clean sliced branches.

"What!?" The branch he was now standing on started tilting, causing him to exclaim out loud.

He managed to capture a grin plastered on Leo's face and finally managed to figure out what had happened! Leo's target had been the tree all along! He must have severed it!

Lena, jumped off the building the moment the tree started tilting, her target was Elder Muti.

'Using my daughter in your plans and then kicking me out of the association at your whims, I must pay you back!'

She ran along the length of a branch and jumped off it to another one. She was moving up by jumping from branch to branch.

'My daughter, must get her revenge! I will do it for her!'

Claws had grown on all her four limbs and she was running on all fours.

She landed on the branch right underneath the one Elder Multi was on! Her eyes lit up. It was like flames had been ignited in her eyes causing a chill to run down Elder Muti's back when he looked into them.

Lena was preparing to make one last leap towards her goal when, a leg entered her vision.

The hair at the nape of her neck stood on end signifying danger!

She channeled energy into her arms and raised them in front of herself!

(Crack!)

The branch beneath her legs cracked when she blocked the kick. Mr. Lee was the one who had kicked at her.

Mr. Lee rotated in the air to dispel the knockback and landed onto another branch.

Lena, on the other hand, hurriedly moved her vision downwards to try and land on another branch!

When she found it, she used her claws to swing from it and launched herself towards the building, landing right beside her husband.

The two elders appeared to do nothing as the tree slid along the sides of the building, towards the ground.

"That guy knows energy channeling!" Lena commented.

"Elder Muti, must have taught him. This fight is going to be troublesome!" A frown appeared on Leo's face.

"We will win! We must get revenge for Elena!" Lena didn't care! Her burning eyes were looking at the falling tree. She wanted to just jump down and continue attacking!

'They need to defeat us if they want to rule this city. I am sure they will be back.' She consoled herself with that.

"Why didn't you attack seriously?" She asked Leo the moment the two vanished from her vision.

'Damn the rain!' She cursed in her mind.

Her clothes were soaked through, but, she was wearing a brown leather looking body suit, her symor, so it didn't matter that her clothes were sticking to her body and emphasizing her bust and curves.
