The Hollow God

Hovering over a thousand feet in the air was a giant manta covered in a golden glow. On its back there was a golden crab with her claws crossed in front of her looking extremely annoyed.

"OK look.... maybe i exaggerated a little, but at least this time i left a few for you! look at those four on top of that building, I'm pretty sure one of them might even be their leader! You can take those OK?"

"Hmph" The little crab covered herself in a golden aura and lifted off the giant mantas back as she moved closer to the ground for a better view.

Seeing another divine creature had gotten off the back of the first one the eyes of both human and bison beast almost popped out of their skull!

The beast leader was very intelligent and seeing as only his pack was targeted meant that these divine were definitely on the side of the humans! He swiftly reacted by releasing a large amount of darkness from his body and quickly jumping off the building as it tried to escape. The three body guards acted at the same time right after their leader had left and ran towards different directions while also covering the area in darkness.

The little crab frowned as she noticed this and gave the large manta in the air a look as if waiting for him to do something. He of course instantly understood and promptly acted.

"Hehehe you want to play with darkness in front of me?" A powerful voice sounded out in the heads of all the bison beasts that were left as they felt their lost control over part of the darkness surrounding them. The black cloud was so large that such a small amount shouldn't have such a big effect if it wasn't for the fact that that small part was 5 meters from them in all directions! No matter how hard they tried the black cloud would not get any closer to them. It was as if someone was shining a spotlight on them from above.

Seeing as she had vision of the creatures once again the little crab excitedly started to act. As she hovered in the air she waved her little claws towards one of the large bison bodyguards and he instantly disappeared. If there were other people looking down at them from up high they would have seen that the ground suddenly split open and swallowed the creature before closing back up as if it was a slumbering creature waiting for its prey.

The smaller bison leader was feeling extremely depressed, he had to release the dark cloud that he always used to escape since it practically acted like a beacon now showing where he was, not only that but one of his powerful bodyguards that he was gifted was taken care of so easily!! His small legs moved faster as he knew his only hope was to run into the dense forest to the south.

'Even though these divine beings are powerful they aren't gods! As long as they lose sight of me in the dense trees I should have a chance to escape!' the small leader thought to himself as he pumped his legs full of mana, strengthening his muscles to the point that it felt as if they were going to split apart.

The golden crab seemed to be enjoying herself. This was the first time she had a chance at using her magic after evolving and she was very surprised by how strong she had gotten!

Waving her claws once more a large crab claw suddenly formed out of the dirt in front of one of the escaping bodyguards. It tried changing his direction as soon as it noticed however the large claws moved much faster than it looked and quickly came down on top of his body turning him into a bloody pancake.

Moving her eyes towards the last of the bodyguards she raised up her claw once more. A pillar rose right underneath the poor creature catapulting him into the air at such speed that his image quickly dissipated over the horizon.

Every time one of his bodyguards died the small bison pushed himself to run a little faster and as the last one lost its life the small thing broke through the limits bisonly possible. Fortunately for him, just before the divine crab turned towards his direction he was able to dive into the thick forest just in time to completely leave her sight.

As the divine crab turned towards the direction the small bison leader had escaped to, she flashed him a look of disdain and flew back onto her favorite spot not caring at all that he was still alive.

The large manta noticed how different his and the little crabs thoughts had changed after acquiring so much power. The small bison was powerful when compared to the humans and they would probably do everything in their power to try and get rid of him however, for the duo it was merely an ant that had slipped under your bed. Was it really worth the effort to go kill it?

As he looked towards the direction where the small bison leader had gone, he actually caught sight of him in between all the trees and leaves. The surprising thing was that it was looking straight at little gold, you could see the strong emotions swimming in his eyes anger, hate, humiliation.... thirst for revenge.

While little gold was moving onto his back a small arrow materialized and flew into the forest at an incredible speed without anyone noticing. He didn't even bother to say the name of the ability either. After creating such powerful moves would one arrow even be considered one?

'..... OK maybe i didn't change that much, but who told him to put up such an obvious flag?' the large manta inwardly shook his head and turned his attention towards the small humans underneath him.

Back on the ground all the men had gotten onto the floor once they realized their saviors were the powerful divine creatures floating high above their heads.

Why is there a darkness divine being all of the way out here?" the big burly Val whispered as he slightly turned his head to look at fatty kneeling close by.

"How am i supposed to know?? I already told you just because I came from a holy city it doesn't mean I know everything about the divine!" Ralfe responded slightly annoyed.

As if ignoring his answer Vall proceeds to ask him another question.

"Have you heard of a darkness element divine manta creature before? Or what about an earth element golden crab?" he asked with a serious tone of voice.

Ralfe frowned as he quietly went through his memories but nothing came up. "I haven't heard anything about them… Maybe they are newly born and come from the sea or they could also have come from the barbarian lands, who knows? The world is large it shouldn't be a surprise for a few divine creature to pop up every once in a while"

Hearing the answer Vall nodded and turned his face back towards the ground as he quietly waited to see what the two powerful beings would decide to do with them.
