Chains Of Heaven

In the forest, the Hyuga continued their search. They were desperately searching for where Enkidu was hiding, especially since so many of them had already perished.

It is true that they were a numerous clan with many disciples and clansmen, but losing so many of them one after another was not an easy situation to be had.

The worst, however, was that the longer it took the greater the chance Enkidu might escape. If he does escape it would be a veritable disaster since he was far too talented, the chance that he might end up fighting his way back to their clan and creating heavy losses was far too likely.

They were all desperately searching, but they did not dare enter further than the start of the middle parts of the Giant Profound Beast Mountain. Only a few of them, the very strongest of them, dared enter the middle area and even then they proceeded with caution. The beasts there were far too dangerous, but the worst was their numbers. There were simply far too many of them.

And thus, the search continued.

"Man, the kid knows how to hide, I give him that." A Hyuga member said tiredly. They had been hunting Enkidu down for a while now and the fatigue of avoiding the Profound Beasts was certainly not helping.

"Yeah, he is a monster alright. But with eleventh elder and the Deputy Clan master working together in the depths of this place and we watching out on the outside there is no chance the kid can escape."

"Uhum, I agree. Lord Hakushi and Deputy Hong are sure to emerge victorious soon enough."

///---///

In the middle area of the Giant Profound Beast Mountain things were NOT going that well.

Currently, Deputy Hong was fighting a giant bear with strength on pair with his own. He was having difficulty as the beast not only was strong but it also had a thick hide that could dissipate most of the profound strength that Hong tried to use to injure the beast. In the end, he was forced to use his hands as if a pair of knives and cutting the beast's head out.

The fight, however, was not easy by any stretch of the imagination and the result was that Hakushi's left shoulder dislocated ad deep gashes appeared on his body.

"Damnable beast. It took me too long to defeat and even wounded me," Hong said with gritted teeth. He was now even more careful with his movements. He knew that should he be caught by surprise again things would only become that much worse.

He felt like, at least with the help of Lord Hakushi things should be better on his side, he was usually even more careful than Deputy Hong after all.

However, the reality was a different beast entirely.

"Phew, to think that the Hyuga fell to this level. Someone of just this much power as an elder, it sounds like a bad joke if I have ever seen one." A man said, he was quite short despite being relatively quite old even if his body showed no sign of aging. He had long green hair and his eyes were of a deep green with two horns from his forehead. He was one of the members of the Angel Batallion under Qian Duoliu orders. He was cleaning the blood from his hands while looking at his handiwork, the eleventh elder of the Hyuga Clan that now was just a pile of goo on the ground.

Suddenly he heard a growl from behind him. He turned an eye on that direction and saw that it was a emerald lion, a beast known for it's physical prowes. The man snorted at that and moved before the lion could even react. Punching out he crushed the beast into a pulp of blood and gore with just a simple kick.

The man then turned to his companion for this trip. The man had a sear on his shoulder and was drinking from his gourd greedily but when he saw the one who just killed the beast glaring at him he almost felt like his heart would stop for a moment there and he gulped in fear.

"So? Is the boy truly hiden in the ground around here or not?" The man asked.

"Yep, yep, yep. Our target is, let's see..." The spear user stomped on the ground heavily and waited for a moment before speaking. "He is about 3 kilometers north one and a half kilometers underneath the ground."

"Good, then here should be plenty enough." The horned midget said as he readied himself and punched on the ground in that direction.

An explosion of force that could be felt in kilometers all around rocketed the entire area and the spear user had to hold himself firmly on the ground or he too would be blown away by that just now.

The results were extraordinary, the entire terrain changed and the destruction was beyond belief.

"... You are a crazy one, that is for sure." The spear wielder and current inheritor of the power of the Earth Angelic God said while sweat dropping at the display. "Remind me again never to trouble you when I am drunk, I really don't want to be punched by you, Du Busi."

Du Busi, the inheritor of the Strength Angelic God, snorted upon hearing this. He could not care less about the other inheritors, his life span was nearing its end anyway and he was still likely the strongest of all inheritors anyway. The inheritance of the Strength Angelic God allowing him to improve his body to well beyond what anyone on his level should have any right to.

As for the Deputy Clan master of the Hyuga Clan, he felt the power fluctuations now clearly enough. It was hard NOT to feel it after all. After feeling it he felt like continuing this fight might not be worth it, but his greed for the Sky Poison Pearl was just too great. He could not just give up like that, thus he continued his search for Enkidu.

And as for Enkidu, it is enough to say that if not for his body's natural defenses he might have had perished then and there from that strike. Thankfully his body was absurdly tough and, after that explosion of might, he began running away like crazy. He forgot any and all secondary thoughts, he could only run with all he possibly can.

///---///

In the top of the mountain range, Gugalana saw all this and came to a decision. While he was not sure of the personality of Enkidu he had talked with the Angelic Godking before, he knew how the inheritors of it's subordinates were no good and thus Gugalana knew it could never allow the egg of Tiamat fall into their hands.

It then sent a mental message to Enkidu, reaching out to him.

"Come to the peak of the mountain, I will open a path for you."

After sending this message Gugalana moved to redirect the tens of thousands of profound beasts in this mountain range, redirecting them not to attack Enkidu but that they could all attack his pursuers.

Now Gugalana could only wait, wait and hope that things would work out for the better.
