I have Nine Lives

Chapter 48: Aftermath and cleanup

Felix looked around and felt that things were done at this point, the Bear Generals immediately started to retreat the moment they saw Siracha attack with his lightning enhanced form, they couldn't do anything to him!

While generals could be considered the cream of the crop of the continent, the stronger shamans were in a league of their own!

Siracha chuckled as he decapitated one bear general who was too slow to dodge his saber hand attack, he waved his hand down letting the blood fall to the ground, and shook his head, there were a few too many generals and he didn't have time to follow them all.

He unleashed 50% of his power as the lightning aura around him created a large domain that engulfed all of the bears that tried to run away and trapped them inside!

The bear generals started to despair as their eyes turned scarlet and they tried to self-destruct!

A hex energy warrior could explode if they concentrated all of the hex energy from their body into their heart, this way they would be able to take down their enemies along with themselves in a kamikaze attack!

However, Siracha snorted as his lightning entered the bodies of the bear generals sealing up their ki and paralyzing them, the hex energy that was currently running through their veins froze up as their bodies did the same!

Siracha moved his hand as a lightning saber appeared in it and he slashed through the air 6 times.

60 slashes appeared, for every slash that appeared, he actually slashed the air 10 times!

Those slashes made their way towards the remaining bear generals decapitating or delimbing them!

Siracha looked at the remaining dying bears and let them bleed to death as he deactivated his lightning domain, he slowly left the battlefield so the others could clean up.

Felix looked as Siracha disappeared with a clap of thunder and felt that he needed to ask him some questions regarding souls, he felt that there was more to the soul of the black bear shaman that there was on the surface.

Lindo looked at Felix's new paw and didn't know what to say, he wasn't there with Catro and Landers when the shaman announced the fact that Felix was a god chosen but now he realized he was special due to what happened because he was sure that his body was dead in his hands, he could feel that there was no pulse nor breath, everything indicated that he died back then!

Felix looked at Lindo and didn't know what to tell him, the shaman didn't say that the knowledge about his ability could be told yet so he kept his mouth sealed.

Landers finally finished killing the other captains, after one of them died the others could only fall at the hands of someone whose strength was in between a captain and a general.

The son of the shaman along with the other generals were scavenging the armors from the bodies of the dead bears as they would be useful in the future.

Felix didn't have anything else to do so he went on an eating spree!

There were so many bodies around that most of the lion tribe wouldn't care no matter how much Felix ate, seeing Felix's actions Lindo decided to follow him!

Landers shook his head seeing the duo's actions, while eating the meat of your enemies would sometimes strengthen your body it wasn't certain, and eating it raw was quite disgusting for him, Landers was someone who enjoyed the meat of his enemies seasoned and well-cooked.

Felix's medium-sized body which just finished digesting all of the former hex energy was now getting inflated like a balloon again!

It got to the point that there were bodies and Felix couldn't eat anymore, that was how full he was!

He got from an average size of 1,30 meters to almost 2 meters in height alone! His weight reached almost 1 ton!

Lindo looked at Felix's ever-increasing body and also realized that Felix had a special body, compared to him who finished 2 bodies and couldn't eat anymore, Felix ate at least 500!

Felix started burping as he felt that he ate a little bit too much.

Landers felt the situation to be quite comical, Felix's body was so big and wide that he now could be used as the new boulder to seal the black bear's cave entrance!

Landers shook his head, he finished what he was supposed to do so the logistics had to search the battlefield for scavenging and tally up the wins and losses of this battle.

Suddenly a voice appeared on the battlefield that took the attention of Felix, Lindo, and Landers:

"Felix and Landers, come back as I have some things to talk to you about."

It seemed the shaman realized that Felix wanted to talk with him but why would he ask for Landers's presence as well?

Felix started to walk/roll towards the exit of the battlefield as Landers followed him, Lindo looked to be left out as he watched the duo's backs start to disappear at a quick speed, he muttered to himself:

"Am I really getting left out like that? Well, I guess it's normal, all I did was catch Felix in my hands this whole battle..."

However, he still didn't like that he was let out like this, was he supposed to help the logistic personnel? Lindo didn't want to feel useless so he went towards a lieutenant from the logistics team and asked for some tasks, even though he couldn't help in the current battle, he had to help in other ways!

Felix's rolling fat body was a comical sight for a sour heart, Lindo thought, even though Lander's back was disappearing from his view, Felix's could still be seen!

Felix rolled at quick speeds towards the location that the shaman gave them, Landers was on his body and using his feet to redirection him, if he rolled by himself it wasn't known where he would land.

It didn't take them much time to find Siracha as he was waiting for them in a clearing with a small stream running through it, it was a strange location considering they were in such a cold environment.

Siracha looked at Felix and couldn't help but laugh a little bit considering the cat's current situation.

He pointed towards Felix's body and a lightning wisp immediately made it's way inside!

Felix's giant body started to lower as the excess hex energy and meat inside him started to burn at quick speeds and travel through his vessels and pathways, his brain was quickly assimilating all of the Hex energy along with his other organs, he could feel himself grow stronger, faster and his stamina and endurance also got a huge spike, but he also felt that he couldn't eat black bear meat anymore, it seemed he got whatever he could from the race as a whole, eating more would be useless as his body seemingly broke through a watershed and he was now firmly in a new realm!

Landers watched everything with interest in his eyes, he didn't know what kind of ability Felix had, while others could grow strong from eating the bodies of others there was a very low chance of that happening, numerically speaking it would be around 0.02% chance of happening. But Felix could strengthen his body with 100% success!

Siracha coughed as he looked towards Landers and told him:

"I have called you here because I have seen how you were struggling versus those 5 captains before, it was obvious that you would have been able to easily defend them if they didn't have such a good armor but not everyone is as poor as our tribe."

Regarding ores the lion tribe was poor because of the environment and location they lived in, they also couldn't trade with the people who had the ores because they were hostile to them so they didn't have any good weapons or armors, also the only people who traded with them had such expensive prices on armor and weapons that they could only buy the special bags that had an increased holding space.

Siracha waved his hand and another lightning wisp escaped it while shooting itself at Landers's head, it was a technique given as a gift for his loyalty.

Landers's eyes started shining as he bowed towards Siracha and said:

"I shall do my best to further the interests of the tribe!"

Siracha nodded and said:

"Good good, now leave me and young Felix alone, we have some things that we have to talk about and they aren't for anyone's ears, do you understand?"

Landers nodded and left in the blink of the eye.

Siracha created a domain using his lightning technique, no one could hear or see anything from the inside while they could hear and see everything that was from the outside

Siracha looked Felix up and down and said before Felix could answer:

"I'm not sure about the abilities or experiences that you will gain when you will fully absorb the soul of the bear shaman, anyways I haven't called you here about that, I would have told you the moment you first asked if I knew, even though I'm old I don't know much about abilities from Gods."

"Anyway back to the main topic at hand, with your help, we have curbed one of the most important rioting places, the other rioting tribes are slowly getting captured or exterminated and the only one remaining that is holding strong and we can't break through their defense is the Elephant tribe!"

"The elephant tribe is a bunch of pacifistic herbivores and I'm not sure why they brought such a hard stance forcing me to act, they have killed quite a lot of my men before we started the war."

"At first I thought it was revenge for some things my tribesmen did to them a long time ago, I'm not shameless enough to say that we didn't provoke them first but it was quite a long time ago and they also killed quite a few of our tribesmen at the time."

"However, this time I'm not sure if they had been instigated by someone else or they are just taking revenge again, as you know Elephants got a great memory and they are quite vengeful so they might be just taking revenge again for back then."

"But things are unlike back then, the intercontinental battle is coming soon and any unrest before it needs to be quelled, you would ask yourself why would I tell you everything right?"

"I know you have just finished one big fight against the black bears but I need to be shameless enough to ask for your help again, I'm disappointed to say but in my troops, you are the only cat with a great stealth technique while being below the captain level."

Felix cocked his head to the side as he asked:

"Can't you make Catro do it or someone else?"

Siracha shook his head as he said:

"Catro already has enough on his platter while the other cat captains have been assigned to quell other unrests, also your bodily strength still isn't at the captain level even though you have improved quite a lot after you ate so many black bears, Elephants are very sensitive when it comes to the strength of the individual, be them invisible or not so if you are weaker there is a higher chance for you to escape their senses, you know those bigs ears of theirs aren't there for show."

Felix understood where Siracha was coming from, he didn't have anyone else that he could rely on so all he could do was ask him, he wasn't tired anymore and even though he wasn't at the peak of his mental capability he could help again.

Inside his mental space, he could feel that he had improved marginally after fighting such a hard life and death battle and he learned somethings as well that could improve his battle sense, he might even be able to learn killing intent masking if he continued like this!

Felix nodded at Siracha as he agreed to help him in this situation as well.

He saluted putting his paw near his head as he waited for Siracha to tell him the location of the Elephant tribe.
