TRAILING SHADOWS

However the shop attendant was not going to take that lying low.

"INO AGBARA: FLAILING WHIPPPPPP..." HE growled as a metre long whip of pure light energy formed in his hand. He Drew backwards Abit before letting his hand fly

The whip lashed against Sunday's hands, gouging into them as his Essence oozed slightly from the gouges.

Yelling, he let go as he tried to dodge another whip. Only to be pulled violently outside the stall.

"Damnit... That guy had to be an Omni Class. He's strong. But I'm stronger. I have a soulbond. What does he have..." Sunday puffed up, after picking himself up from the ground.

Irunmoles walked past him, busy with their affairs. And from their actions, he guessed that he was just one of the regular sights in the Open Market.

'Damnit, I can't come here alone for the first time and leave such an impression.'

'Your arrogance will be your downfall, Young one' The wolf steel tone cut into his thoughts.

He heard himself, and Dashed.

'Yes, right... If only you can be more supportive and stop your criticism'

He dashed, bashing into the entrance unabated.

"I knew you would come back. Ino Agbara.." the attendant spoke, disdain filling his eyes.

'what? He's not even giving me a time out??!' Sunday's eyes widened.

"INO AGBARA; LESSER LIGHT SPEARS..."

The air sizzled, becoming heated as turbulence ripped across it. That same instance, 6 Spears of white heat appeared in the air.

"Oh boy.." Sunday gasped.

For the second time in his life, The sense of now or never urgency hit him since the time of the Prickled Bane Winged Wolf battle.

Adrenaline or the equivalent of that for Irunmole rushed through his body in multiples, his breathing becoming ragged and hurried.

'What?? I warned you, didn't I? Anyways, you dying means our contract can be broken soon. So please have a good death, Sunday.' The Wolf snickered.

'OhGod! Can't you be of any more use than seating down there and being a sadist?.' Sunday queried mentally.

He could see the wolf in his mind now. Immediately, his view shifted as he transported his attention into the mindzone.

' Actually I can...'

Sunday heaved out in relief, eyes burning with excitement.

'But I won't,'

"Heh...whaaa..."

Meanwhile,

Ibiyemi,slashed her left hand in a semi circle, throwing out a Saarin at the Elite who held Toyosi at Bay. She had being assigned to create a diversion for them to get closer to disable an orb.

And she was getting right into it.

However, not entirely because of the mission, but because of Toyosi who had just been caught. She threw another one, making two in descent at the Irunmole as she dropped from the tree.

The Elite looked back, pulling out an Imole Mo in one hand, his eyes wary with caution. In the other hand, he gripped Toyosi fiercely by the wrist.

"Ah, so you are not alone here, boy."

The Irunmole leapt backwards, avoiding the two saarins that dropped just where he stood previously.

Instantly, Ibiyemi twisted and turned, flipping over to Toyosi. From the pouch at her waist, she pulled two balls out, flipping them into the air.

BOOM

BOOM

Thick gases exploded into the air, creating a whirlpool of mists and dust. That hid her from sight. Promptly, she worked her hands on the lock resting on Toyosi's c.h.e.s.t.

She did have some skills with picking locks and in less than a second, the lock fell apart, dissipating into shimmering energy.

Just then, strong vice like hands clamped on her neck, pulling her into view, out of the mist.

"What do you think you are doing here? This place is out of bounds." The Elite who had avoided her earlier attack, spoke glaring at her.

"Well... What do you know?" She replied, a grin forming on her face. "NOW... GOOOOO..." she screamed. One to her team perched on the tree, and the other to Toyosi who just getting himself after being unlocked.

Ahead of him, heads turned as to the source of the commotion. One of which was Captain Moyo, an averagely heighted Irunmole with thick clothing of leather coats and boots.

His hands met each other as he smiled.

"Academicians. Watch me break your spirits." He grinned, drawing his head aback.

"Ino Agbara, Clamping Grip" "Step aside , Soldier!" He muttered as a ball of light exploded in the air, a gigantic fist transerved the waves of air as it reached for the academicians.

The Irunmole holding Ibiyemi up in the air, upon hearing the order, promptly dropped her down. But in that fraction of time, Toyosi rushed, adrenaline pumping through him as he willed his body mass, plummeting into the Irunmole.

He rushed forward, tapping the ring that sat on his left middle finger. Still running, he withdrew his right hand , a golden gauntlet, embedded with cracked lines and gems following and encasing it and his left completely.

A flash of light exploded into the air as the gauntlet instanteously fitted into the hand that pulled it. And then, Toyosi leapt, pushing his weight on as he bore the heavy strain of the Gregarious Gauntlet.

He moved into the attack line , putting himself between Ibiyemi and the crashing fist.

"Thank you!" He said, taking a quick look at her as he Drew back.

And shot forward, his gauntlet crashing into the oncoming fist of light.

"Yo...you... You have an Artefact?!" Ibiyemi's eyes widened as an eruption of miniature shockwaves exploded into the air.

"Hahahahahaha.. who said I was moving to attack you, Children. I only want you to follow the normal messenger ranks. Besides, it's fun doing that the normal way."

The hand suddenly flattened, clamping the fisted Artefact. Immediately, the hand retracted, pulling Toyosi along with it.

"Gosh... Just be fast guys... Take the shield down already." Ibiyemi gasped , still trying to catch her breath.

But not for long. She quickly rolled over, as a metallic spear tore into the earth.

"My God! Why does he have to go all out on me."

The spear drove down again and she rolled further, quickly rolling to her knees wiith two saarins out. And this time, two glowing orbs at the end of the Saarin.

She quickly looked about, noting that the other soldiers in here were turning to look their way. And that was definitely not going to be good. She only had two saarins left and a pair of lesser concussion orbs with her. Beside that, she was down to nothing.

She knelt, panting as she was exerting her self, pushing her weak body to the extremes as she threw her hands in front of her, forming an X.

She was cornered. But that didn't mean she was going to let herself get captured and crippled from levelling up.

Just then, her Class Insignia on her arm beeped twice.

A signification that she had levelled up.

Ibiyemi Smiled.

Now, this was going to be easier than she thought.

1. Which do you want?

(A/N)

Uhm... Well well... Thanks for reading this far.

Like the update schedule noted, today is the day for the next release. I probably would do more bonus releases but for now, let's just keep to regular updates.

If you notice, this book is beginning to have Greek terms like Pegasus, and even some borrowed anime concept from Naruto. This is because, there is basically no limit to anything in the Heavens.

.

Anyways , the Yoruba language being spoken here is getting more and more infrequent. This doesn't mean that the story is from an English point. It's a Yoruba themed story but I really don't know much Yoruba. So I'm limiting it to contain only Yoruba names of some techniques and the speech of Prime's and all that.

Please vote me up. Gimme power Stones.
