Re’Kha immediately touched the Tikka jewellery of Re’Gra, noticing that it was slightly warm too. The case was the same for Re’Dha too.

Having been recounted of her experience, the two brothers knew what was up. Having noticed their actions, the village head too touched his Tikka jewellery, screaming in shock immediately, “What the heck? Why is it burning up?”

“Stay calm!” Re’Kha berated him immediately, speaking as she noticed that the night had set already, “Round up all the villagers to your house. Keep everyone in the same place and form a circle with all your guards. That would be your safest bet.”

Upon seeing the three Harmonisers had begun to descend through the trail of stairs, the village head seemed slightly flustered, “My lord, will everything be fine?”

“As long as you ensure no one else is left behind,” Re’Kha said and turned around, soon reaching the ground as she used the cover of the night to block her Tikka jewellery’s gem and switched to her wind element, activating her Wind Qi perception immediately.

She swiftly expanded her range, quickly looking through the place as she looked at the village head with a frown, “Has anyone died here recently?”

“None in the last couple of months.” The village head replied.

After being prompted by Re’Kha, he hurried along and informed the villagers to bring everyone to his house. As there was enough space there for everyone to assemble, it was an easier situation. They could form a perimeter around everyone.

Re’Kha expanded the range to her limit, outlining the first hill under her perception. She then focused on a certain location where a creature that seemed like a Golpa was hopping down the slope like it was a cakewalk.

But, unlike a Golpa, it didn’t take a breath in time between every jump. The jumps were immediate and successive, without any breaks in between. Even though there was just one Golpa, Re’Kha could feel her Tikka jewellery burn up slightly faster.

She immediately activated her Water Qi Essence, increasing its range to the maximum limit, one that encompassed an area with a radius thirty times her height. Beyond that, it wouldn’t be able to maintain a sphere of Water Qi.

Re’Kha muttered to her brothers, “It’s a Ras. And, it seems to have devoured enough Golpa to turn into one. There is more than enough Water Qi in my Water Qi Essence. Save the ones in your bracelets for later.”

The moment they felt Water Qi, Re’Gra and Re’Dha immediately activated their Water Qi perception, noticing the range of her Water Qi Essence.

Slowly, they pulled out their respective weapons as Re’Gra muttered, “A Ras seldom appeared in our history. We won’t know the abilities it has after turning into a Golpa. Don’t try to take it on alone and keep your Palm Projections ready to defend against its attacks.”

All the villagers had begun to evacuate, heading towards the village head’s house. Two of them carried the unconscious guard and ran with fearful expressions. All of them soon cleared the place when the Ras—in the form of a Golpa—landed inside the village, creating a faint gale in the process.

Though, it hardly created any sounds, absorbing most of the impact using its spring-like legs. At the moment of landing, it noticed the three Harmonisers standing a fair distance away, gazing at their bright blue gems and their faintly radiating Tikka jewelleries.

Roar!

It unleashed a guttural roar that was suffused with Fear Qi, causing the people of the village to fall to their knees immediately as they shouted in pain while clutching their heads.

“Keuk!” Re’Gra trembled as his hands shivered, almost causing him to drop his weapon. He was carrying a war hammer that had an axe on one side and a hammer on the other. And, its handle was the length of his arm. It was the weapon he was most comfortable in wielding.

Re’Kha managed to resist the shout as her eyes readily absorbed the Fear Qi, powering up in response as she was accumulating strength. As for Re’Dha, he seemed to be affected the most at first. But, something changed in his demeanour as his eyes gazed at the Golpa Ras with a deep-seated gaze.

The Golpa Ras smacked the ground, unleashing all the strength stored in its legs, shooting towards the trio in a straight line. Unlike a Golpa that could only jump in a high arc even if it aimed forward, the arc made by a Golpa Ras was so low, it seemed like it was travelling in a straight line above ground.

“Hah!” Re’Kha shouted as her left hand shone with a blue radiance; she unleashed a Palm Projection. Her two brothers did the same, intending to negate its momentum first. The three Palm Projections headed straight towards the Golpa Ras that defended against them by crossing its hands.

The first Palm Projection only negated some of its momentum while the second Palm Projection stopped it. The third Palm Projection landed on its head, sending it flying back a little.

Though, upon attacking, none of the siblings were happy. For, they noticed the Golpa Ras didn’t even suffer a single scratch from the exchange. It just patted its face, swatting away the water rich in Water Qi.

Re’Gra activated his war hammer, causing it to emit concentrated Water Qi as he slammed it into the Golpas Ras, targeting its legs. But, he cursed immediately as his hands shuddered, feeling like he had hit a tough rock.

The Golpa Ras shifted its legs, causing the war hammer to fly back as it swiped its claws. Re’Gra quickly ducked, barely evading the attack as he slammed a Palm Projection at its leg, targeting the same spot, causing it to tumble this time.

Re’Kha timely summoned her Balou, causing it to ram into the Golpa Ras the moment it got up, sending it flying away. The Golpa Ras slammed into the ground, skidding a bit before it crashed into a house.

Unwilling to give it time to recover, the Balou charged towards it straight, intending to ram into it a second time when a shadow flashed past, sending it flying. And, in its place was a Golpa Ras, a second one.
