The whole tribe was engulfed in silence as they watched Adui finish off a man in a mere few seconds. Some of them were silent because they couldn't even just grasp what had happened, while for some, this was the first time they had seen a man die in such a manner.
Imka, on the other hand, was horrified. He first thought that his Kukarachan of a son was just a small demon who was good at hunting. But he just witnessed how that demon in a small child's body was able to kill off a grown adult in just a few seconds. That was an unprecedented situation for him. He would doubt that even children from the Mars tribe would be able to pull something like this.
"OUR CHAMPION!" Groga broke the silence, "ADUI, SON OF IMKA!!" And the tribe started cheering the boy's name. But Imka didn't join in the cheering. Instead, he turned around and went back to his hut.
There, he sat in the dark thinking about what he could do, These people dont see the truth. They are not just willing to see the truth… I should have killed that Kukarachan when I had the chance. Regret started making him boil with anger.
It is then that Gremla came in, followed by Karina. They both saw him, and Karina asked, "Did you see?"
He nodded, "Yes. Not only did I see, but I have a hand in bringing that Kukarachan into this world,"
Gremla came and sat beside him, "If you are responsible, I am as well."
"Stop this, both of you," Karina said, "I cannot take more of this from you guys. It is none of your fault. Your child's body was taken over by a Kukarachan. That is the truth. Now, we have to find a way to deal with the boy, otherwise the whole Heks would be in trouble."
Gremla then suggested, "We can ask the Divine Messenger for advice? He can give us some insights."
"No, he can't," Imka said, "Divine messengers are the guards of the Grand Priestess. They are knowledgeable. But not as knowledgeable as they would be able to handle a Kukarachan. We need an acolyte of the Grand Priestess for that."
"What can we do then?" Gremla asked, not showing any remorse against her so-called son.
"I think.." Imka said, "Best way for us to resolve the matter would be to marry him off. He would go to some other tribe, and he would be their problem."
Karina scoffed, "And do you really think that Groga is going to let it happen? That person is hell bent on getting revenge for his son, and Adui has now shown that he could be a tool for his revenge."
"We can always get him somewhere out in the grasslands," Gremla said.
"I dont think he would trust us, after what happened," Imka said. "Catching him off guard now would be more difficult,"
It is Karina who clapped her hands, "Here is another thought.. Adui is a Kukarachan, right? What if.. What if we let him go to Agora? I bet if he becomes an acolyte of the Grand Priestess, surely she would recognise what that man truly is, right?"
Gremla shook her head, "I dont know about that.." she said, "This demon.. he was there in Agora. He met the Grand Priestess.. If she didn't recognise him then, why do you think that she would now?"
"That is true," Karina said. "But doesn't that also mean that the acolyte of the Grand Priestess would not know what to do with the boy as well. Right?"
"The only thing that we can do for now…" Imka said, "Kill the boy the first chance that we get."
Both women knew what it meant. They knew that this was going to be a dangerous affair, but they were ready to see it through…

Harry was annoyed at best. All the people of the tribe were celebrating his victory, dancing and singing. And he was forced to be seated there, mask in the false glory that the people were pinning on him.
That guy wasn't even that strong. It would have been another affair if that slave had his Vita Core intact,' he wanted to yell, but chose to remain silent.
The only silver lining of this party was the fact that Harry was not getting increasingly more interested in his body. He had scanned almost all the members of the Aqua tribe present here. And yet, none of them got Vita cores, yet the slaves that they brought got Vita cores.
Also, the only other person then himself who possesses Vita Heart is the Grand Priestess. He could not understand whether this was due to the rarity of Vita Heart or because of his transmigration. And if that is due to transmigration, then does that mean that Grand Priestess is also a transmigrator?
"Berry?" He looked and saw Tina serving him some berries. He took some, and while doing so, he noticed that the ragtag group of his parents and Karina had now joined the party.
I need to eliminate these fuckers as well, he thought, Or should i just poison the whole tribe altogether and save myself of hassle coming back for them?
Harry had his eyes on the group till they split up. He saw Imka and Karina joining the group of hunters and protectors, while Gremla, on the other hand, stood in her place.
What is she looking at? Harry thought as he realized that his mother was making eye contact with someone.
He followed her gaze to realize that she was making eye contact with none other than Groga.
That is interesting, he thought as he stood up. Took some berries from Tina and kept his eye on his mother. And then, after some silent nods, Gremla started going somewhere. And Groga followed behind her.
