The Legend Of Karachuo 92 The Fight Between Kuru And Chempokulu

Kuru knew he had no time. The One from above had told him that this fellow had been received by the current Ordainer because it was thought that he was useful alive. Nevertheless, the Lord of darkness had planned to use this opportunity to mutilate Ochieng' once and for all. He had already failed as an Ordainer. This fact had always made him live with regrets in his life. Probably that was the reason why he had decided to lead a lonely life far from every human being.

He knew by being sent by the One from above, he had been given an opportunity to do something for Keniya. How couldn't he hold onto it dearly?

"Those are beings from another world whose their main goal is to destroy mankind."

Kuru said angrily as he directed his red eyes towards the other man. The man felt like two daggers were directly pointed towards him and he could not help but subconsciously retreat two steps. However, he did not show any sign of fear.

This man was Chempokulu. He had been a warlock known for evil and was being helped by the people from the dark world to expand his villainous crafts. A few days ago, he had received orders from the sisters of the dark to walk with Ochieng' just so that the people from the dark world would be capable of trailing the Ordainer. He could not just be given a role which bore great risks without giving him a little power, right?

"You are a human for heaven's sake. Furthermore, you will gain nothing by aiding those people but what have you decided to do? You have chosen to help them destroy Ochieng', a mam destined to save mankind from an impending calamity coming to the great people of Keniya. Do you think what you are doing is the right thing?" Kuru continued to scold the other party coldly.

At this moment, Ratong' landed on the ground. Everyone's doubtful eyes were fixated on Chempokulu. Seeing them like this, the warlock could not just be quiet. In his perspective, his disguise had not been seen through by this man and the beasts.

"What are you talking about? I have sworn to walk by the Ordainer's side and help him in his quest. Even if it is worth my life, I am willing to do anything for the sake of his success. Why are you spouting so much nonsense here?"

Couldn't be bothered with arguing with this wolf in sheepskin, Kuru made his move. He knew very well that arguments will only conceive nothing useful. He pointed his sword towards the other fellow as he charged towards him with great force. This made him pierce through the air like a rocket charging towards the sky. If this landed on the warlock, he would instantly die.

"It is not that easy to kill me."

The warlock had long retreated backwards and was already off the lion's large back.

Ochieng' and his companions did not know why things had taken this direction. They had all suspected that this Mboya could be a fake but they had chosen to be with him to play a little. Who would have known that someone could beat them to it.

"What should we do?" Mudho asked.

"Since I started my journey as an Ordainer Mudho, there are things that have happened in a way that I myself cannot understand. We all knew that this Mboya was up to no good. It is not a coincidence that another person has appeared to deal with him and judging from how he was talking, this Mboya is worse than we thought. Unless it is necessary, let us just be quiet and watch." Ochieng' said calmly as he crossed his arms before his chest.

The others nodded in agreement.

When Kuru was just a meter away from the warlock, the latter stretched his right arm before blasting the former forcefully. The former was sent flying before knocking a few trees down a few meters away from the point where they were battling. Kuru had come here knowing that killing Chempokulu would be a walk in the park for him. After all, he was a great wizard and had once been an Ordainer on top of that.

"You possess some power..."

Kuru rose as he dusted himself off. This time, he wore a serious face making him look more like a beast than a human. He had learned that it was better never to underestimate his opponent. Who knew, maybe he was fighting a rained on lion and was just behaving like a cat.

"Even if I die here today, I must drag you down with me."

He shouted before charging towards the warlock once more. Chempokulu raised his arm to counter-attack but this time, instead of Kuru being blasted off, he was immediately covered with a transparent s.h.i.+eld around him. No matter how hard his opponent tried, the s.h.i.+eld could not be bypa.s.sed. This was a defensive spell he had once learned from a certain colleague a hundred years ago.

Seeing that his s.h.i.+eld was working, Kuru thrusted towards the warlock with his sword held in front of him. This time, his sword was covered with some energy that emitted a strange destructive aura. This was another spell he had come up with when he had fallen in a precarious situation about fifty three years ago.

The warlock knowing that this battle was not on his side anymore, he had decided to disappear. Unfortunately for him, Kuru was also a wizard and a powerful one at that. Even before turning around, Kuru's sword had already reached the warlock's chest. As soon as it pierced his chest, the energy spread throughout Chempokulu reducing him to dust immediately.

Kuru then sheathed his sword before looking at the dust before him with disdain.

"You possess that small power and you dare go against me. Do you even know when I started my art?"

Everything had happened within a few seconds. Even Ochieng' and his companions who were extremely sensitive to their surrounding did not have time to react before everything was over. They couldn't help but look at Kuru with wide eyes that looked like they would pop out of their sockets.

"I can now introduce myself properly before the Ordainer. You know that fellow's life was giving me lots of migraine. I could not even live my life peacefully. It is a good thing that he is dead."

Oblivious to the shock of Ochieng' and his companions, Kuru walked towards them with large strides looking at them excitedly. It was as if he had seen some treasure or something.

"Who are you?"

Ratong' was the first to recover from its shock. It immediately asked with deep frowns knitted between its eyes.

"There is no need of being so serious with me Ratong'. I am just a friend who wants nothing more than the success of our brother Ochieng'..."

Kuru was answering still maintaining his excited demeanor when he was interrupted by a frenzied Ratong'.

"You know my name?"

The lion almost shot to the heavens because of shock.
