Despite being a tier 5 warrior, Chitra's combat style was inadequate for dealing with the mutants.
The Divine Butterfly tribe was renowned for its exceptional ability to predict the future. They possessed the uncanny gift of accurately prophesying the imminent dangers that would befall them or even the entire world.
They were in tune with the spiritual world allowing them to peer into the future and its complexity without breaking their mind. They were a tribe that focused on mental development rather than physical development.
However, this emphasis on mental growth presented a challenge. In terms of physical strength and combat abilities, the Divine Butterfly tribe found themselves relatively weaker compared to the other nine great tribes.
Uncertain of her ability to handle three tier-5 mutants simultaneously while safeguarding her allies, Chitra hesitated.
As she gazed at the slobbering colossal mutants before her, a sense of impending danger washed over her. Her intuition served as a vigilant guide, warning her of an even greater threat that lay ahead if she persisted along the current path, even death. And her intuition had never proven wrong.
However, she didn't have any time to think. The mutants were preparing to attack them.
"I heard that you can use teleport. Would it be possible for you to direct their attention towards you?" Chitra asked Karthi, expecting a favourable answer.
"No, I am not able to use teleport in the tunnels. Something is preventing me from teleporting."
However, to her dismay, Karthi was unable to use teleport.
"What about your other skills?"
"Other than sensory skills, I see no problem in activating other skills." Karthi showed a flickering flame over his finger before saying.
Chitra nodded seeing that.
With determination in her voice, Chitra declared, "It will take me three minutes to eliminate the tier 5 mutants. Hold on until then." Leaving those words behind, she swiftly vanished from her position. Seizing the initiative, she launched her attack before the enemy had a chance to strike.
Drawing upon her inner reserves, Chitra channelled a surge of energy, propelling it towards one of the mutants. The energy condensed into the form of a fist, hurtling at incredible speed towards its target.
Intuitively, Chitra recognised that her usual skills would prove futile against the tier 5 mutants. Her arsenal consisted primarily of mental attacks, designed to induce confusion or inflict severe damage to the psyche. However, these deranged mutants possessed unstable minds, rendering such tactics ineffective.
The concentrated energy, resembling a formidable fist, collided directly with the mutant. With the force of the impact, the mutant's arm was pulverised, wreaking havoc on half its body. This unexpected assault swiftly incapacitated one of the mutants, removing it from the battle.
Chitra, an early tier 5 warrior who had recently achieved this rank, found herself on equal footing with the mutants. Their strengths were evenly matched, allowing her attacks to have a substantial impact.
That as a cue, the other mutants began their attack. With the single purpose of killing and consuming the human before them, they launched their attack.
The battle endured for approximately three minutes. Even before Chitra could dispatch the tier 5 mutants, Karthi and his protector swiftly eliminated the remaining tier 4 mutants. As members of the primal chaos tribe, their combat prowess was formidable.
Employing sheer strength and without resorting to strategy or deceit, they swiftly decapitated the mutants and dismembered their bodies, preventing any possibility of regeneration.
However, it was Chitra who struggled against mutants of comparable strength.
"Ah! That was quite the exercise," Karthi confidently remarked, wiping sweat from his forehead. However, his weary physique betrayed the challenges they had endured in slaying the mutants.
"The hardships that lie ahead will pale in comparison to this. It is the sense of impending doom that troubles me," Chitra said in a monotone voice.
Her words evoked an intense emotional response from Karthi and the elderly man. Goosebumps prickled their skin, a testament to the weight of Chitra's words.
Chitra, a tier 5 warrior hailing from the Divine Butterfly tribe, possessed an intuition that couldn't be disregarded. If she sensed impending death, it served as an ominous indication that they would be confronted with mortal peril in the imminent battle.
This realisation sent a shiver down Karthi's spine, but it was insufficient to dissuade him from pressing forward.
"If you wish to halt, do so now. Return and gather reinforcements. I cannot guarantee your safety in the face of the perils that await," Chitra kindly reminded him.
"Why should we? Are you coming back with us?" Karthi inquired.
"No. I will continue onward. This city is my home, and I bear the responsibility of protecting its inhabitants. Unfortunately, I acknowledge that I failed in safeguarding the people. Our delayed actions allowed a malignant force, known as the spider gang, to fester within. Today, I must eradicate them," Chitra declared with determination.
"Then we shall stand by your side. One of our own is in danger, and as the future leader of the primal chaos tribe, I will not forsake my brethren," Karthi declared, his gaze fixed on the foreboding darkness that lay ahead.
His protector nodded approvingly, recognising the heroic determination emanating from Karthi. Despite often displaying spoiled behaviour, Karthi's true character and resolute spirit shone through. On certain occasions, his actions revealed the natural charisma of a leader, drawing support and loyalty towards him. Witnessing Karthi in such a light brought satisfaction to his protector.
"What do you mean by 'one of your own'?" Chitra inquired, her discerning the underlying motive behind their unwavering determination.
Karthi hesitated for a moment, carefully considering his words. After contemplating his options, he chose to share the truth with Chitra.
"We believe that the white-robed man, the one we encountered earlier, is from our primal chaos tribe," Karthi revealed, shedding light on the reason behind their fervent resolve to proceed.
"How do you know?"
"We sensed a bloodline resonance emanating from him, and even now, I can still feel it," Karthi explained. "It is this connection that enables us to track his presence within the labyrinthine underground tunnels. The intensity of his agitation suggests he is engaged in a fierce battle. Time is of the essence, and we cannot afford any delay. We must reach him swiftly."
ραΠdαsΝοvεl.cοm "And don't worry about our safety. We can handle it on our own." Karthi said confidently.
Chitra nodded, acknowledging the urgency of the situation. The prospect of rescuing one of their tribe members heightened the stakes and added a sense of purpose to their mission.
"If that is what you want to do, who am I to prevent you? Let's move forward then." Chitra began to break the wall in the front.
Initially, Chitra wanted to prevent Karthi and his protector from moving forward. She felt extreme danger from the direction that she was travelling. She hoped to save them by preventing them from moving forward.
However, knowing their goal of entering the underground maze, she could bear to stop them anymore. After all, she too was driven by similar emotions.
After a couple of minutes.
The underground tunnel became darker after Chitra and the others moved forward through the broken walls. However, in this darkness that they left behind, a humanoid creature that is larger than the mutants appeared.
Standing at a staggering height of twenty feet, the creature bore a distinct feature—a one-foot-long horn protruding from its head. Its visage lacked any facial features. Instead, it possessed a more imposing physique, with vibrant purple skin and bulging muscles that rippled across its robust frame.
Methodically, the creature took deliberate steps toward the scattered remains of the mutants on the floor. Crouching down, it closely examined the flesh before firmly grasping it with its immensely powerful hand—muscles taut and brimming with strength. With purposeful movements, it brought the flesh, rich with nutrients and energy, toward its menacing mouth.
With a swift motion, the creature's fearsome jaws, reminiscent of a shark's teeth, parted wide. The flesh was swiftly propelled into its mouth and chewed with apparent satisfaction.
The giant that emerged from the shadows was eating the mutant flesh that was strewn across the area.
After a while, it left the area by breaking through a wall. It was not following Chitra and the others, it was looking for anything that it could eat. It wanted to find the closest biological organism and consume it.
Whether it was a human, mutant or a beast, it wanted to eat everything until it felt satisfied.

From a distant, vast underground chamber, Kain watched the creature's actions with a malevolent grin of satisfaction spreading across his face.
"As anticipated, its growth surpasses my predictions. I must bolster its power before the arrival of the tier 5 warrior," Kain mused to himself, manipulating the tunnels to divert the mutants within towards the massive horned monster.
Kain took immense risks, offering the tier 4 and even tier 5 mutants he had created as sustenance to nourish and fortify the creature. He staked everything on the development of this behemoth with the horned appendage, his greatest creation yet.
Even the child, whom Alex had previously saved, paled in comparison to the magnificence of this monster.
Kain revelled in the audaciousness of his experiment with a satisfied grin. He wanted to test the strength of his creation against the white-robed man and the tier 5 warrior that was coming towards him.
