The World We Do Not Know 154 Mutiny

Even though the villagers of Caracus changed. It doesn't mean anything for Gus, even if Caracus repents or mourn for the blood of the people they killed, his parents won't come back to life. 

So he will keep hating them more and more, gradually bubbling the poison within him.

"Ares! I'm here. How have you guys been doing?" Gus casually strides up towards Ares and his friends and tries to initiate a talk with them like it is just another normal day in his village.

"Yo Gus! Did you sleep we.... You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! what the h.e.l.l are you doing here?" Ares growled with half surprise and suppressed anger.

"Gus you stalker, pervert, pedo. I'm older to you why did you come all the way for me?" Tanya says with a grossed out expression.

"What? Why would I come for you? Wait and Eh how am I the pedo here? I'm the younger one among all of us. And no- I actually came for Ares." Gus replies explaining and defending himself gulping the insulting words.

"Ahhhh! I see forbidden love!" Alex chips giving a smirk.

"Ohhhhh Ares, how can you? Is this the reason you are not accepting my love all these years? Are you into boys, perhaps? That too younger ones?" Tanya questions Ares while her face becomes hot red as her imagination ran wild about boy love (her secret fantasy).

Gus and Ares are both astonished. "Knock it off guys, I'm not in a mood to laugh at your jokes."Ares says with an angry irritated tone.

"Hai hai let's leave them both for a while guys, they got mad that we're between them and disturbing them" Albert adds fuel to fire while him and Alex try hard to control their giggles. This is their chance of getting back at Ares who is ridiculously popular among girls.

"Ah Gus, did Tisha ask about me? Did she tell you anything to pa.s.s onto me? Did she give you anything for me?" Yang inquired breathlessly to Gus ,curiously while leaning forward.

"Umm.." Gus doesn't know what to say since he ran out of his village, without even informing anyone. 

And everyone around Yang gives him an odd more likely grossed look.

*Spit* "We're going, thu thu blehhh." Albert spits on the ground before leaving. He used to look up to Yang with the way he deals with other girls.

Yang is the known cold blooded soldier, who rejects every girl that comes to talk to him, but now, the cold hearted Yang is whipped and madly in love with a girl? 

*"All this time he acted like a tough rigid guy and that was just a bluff after all"* Albert convinces himself and walks away.

"Umm.. it's ok to love another man.. I also love men. If you guys have free time you can come to have a drink with me." Among all the chaos with everyone, thinking whatever comes to their minds, an old man from Caracus with a white tank top and pot belly offers to Ares and Gus while blus.h.i.+ng.

*Ares and Gus dies internally* 

*"Ah no I'm wasting time. I came here for a reason"* Gus thinks while disparaging himself. 

"Ares, train me more in the way of unholy sword. I want to learn more and more. I'm still no good in sword arts."

"Isn't that the real reason why I was left behind in the village? If I had learned everything and if I was good at the art of sword, I would have been by your side in the war field. So- teach me more Ares. I want to learn -everything." Gus sounded like a warrior hungry for power.

Ares leaves a sigh in delightfulness seeing Gus with full energy, he also at the same time knows that l.u.s.t for power sometimes leads you to a wrong path.

So Ares wanted to lead Gus in the right direction and make him strong."Ok let's go, I will train you more." Ares tells Gus and they both walks along the sh.o.r.e a little far from people, heading towards terrains. 

Ares teaches Gus about the rule of strike and the basics. Getting inside of the defence against the opponent is the most important thing. 

The unholy sword got the name from it's free style manner, the techniques are not fixed of any particular forms and stances. 

It's all freestyle and hitting an opponent at the same time while defending a blow. The most important thing however, is having the sword closer to your body and feel the sword as if it's an extension of your hand, that has merged with you. 

The sword that doesn't follow any sacred methods or forms, hence called unholy sword arts.

"My sword, f.u.kitsuna is a rare blade pa.s.sed down to me by my elders. This sword has a soul of its own and chooses its masters. You need to keep training hard to be worthy and make the sword choose you."Ares says with a commanding voice.

"And.." He pauses for a while, sits on a large stone nearby to continue. "If this sword doesn't choose you, as it's master. Then it's going to get rusty and old, eventually fading away."

"This is because the sword needs to be wielded by a master when swinging it. So try and make up to the desired level on your guts and hard work." Ares advice Gus telling him the rules and the importance of the sword, making him aware of the long path he needed to travel in order to achieve his desired power.

"I was still unable to summon the divine power within it and couldn't get it to accept me. Another failure like previous times. It used to s.h.i.+ne bright, glittering divinely with golden colors along with radiating celestial energy, it's incomparable power -while it is in the strong hands of Ares, but all the enchantment faded away and slowly lost it's charm and power. It was no more than a normally wielded , cheap and dull sword in my hands. I wanted to gain that power of sword no matter what, it can make me strong I'm quite positive."*

"Got it. " Gus replies while he kept reminding himself that he needs to become stronger in order to be get chosen by the sword.

Ares and Gus continued the exhausting training for another five days. And after that specific time of strenuous bodily exercise Ares as a token of appreciation handed a book over to Gus which consisted of the teachings of Unholy Sword and inquired him about- to leave the warfield.

"It's been five days already, if the enemies won't show up until tomorrow we will head back to the village. So you go ahead of us now and forward the message to Mars." Ares a.s.signed a task to Gus who nodded at first.

"Ok. I will be waiting for you to teach me more Ares." Gus took off with a smile yet with a hint of disappointment that Ares still doesn't want him on the Warfield even when there is no enemy to fight, probably .

[Yawn]

"Guarding Caracus while they're sleeping for five days straight is taking toll on all of us, isn't it Ares? If it isn't for you and your friends, we wouldn't have gotten those 2-3 hrs of sleep." Edward appreciates the work Ares and his soldiers did as to guard Caracus and letting the Villagers of Mindoro to take naps as well.

People from Mindoro slept for 2-3 hours while Ares and his party watched over them, to oogle for any peril. This shows the amount of hard work they had gone through to stay awake by going without sleep for days and be cautious at the same time rather than drowsy.

But If there is any chance for enemy to show up while they're in this bad situation, the enemy might get an upperhand on the two villages effortlessly.

"Yes it is, I really want to go back to the village and sleep for a week straight ,haha." Ares replies to Edward with a hint of playfulness half laughing and yawning.

"I really thank your village for not only guarding us but also for help rebuilding our village, Edward. And I see you guys will leave after tomorrow. If no enemy shows up until that time, let's have a toast tomorrow then. Again I really want to thank you warmly for coming here to our help." Nero chips with grateful eyes.

"No no let's not do a toast ,haha. We agreed to help you so we are not going to accept anything in return. Let us all get along together for tonight. We will be leaving tomorrow evening anyway. " Edward declines his frank offer with a smile.

"Ahh I see. Too bad... but It's ok." Nero replies crestfallen with a disappointed face and heads back.

[At night]

"Looks like some dark clouds are heading our way, we will get soaked haha. Let's search for a hill to take shelter for tonight." Edward's looks up above the skies while commanding his units. Predicting a fierce storm at hand.

As Edward keeps watching, the sky seems to be lighting up slowly. He is confused as to why the sky seems to be burning up with anger. As he realises gradually he could see huge fire b.a.l.l.s falling from the sky highly aimed. And they were bigger in size too as much as the size of a two combined cannon b.a.l.l.s.

"f.u.c.k it's ENEMIES! Bring the barricades. We're gonna get hit by Mortars!" Ares yelled loudly panicking for everyone to wake up from their slumber.

Suddenly the ground that everyone was sleeping began rumbling and shaking vigorously as soon as the cannon b.a.l.l.s. .h.i.t the sh.o.r.e of Caracus. The shockwave shook everyone who was deep into slumber. The cannon b.a.l.l.s were leaving huge trenches wherever they made contact. Every warrior rushes to the scene with their barricades, s.h.i.+elds and their weapons. No one is following the formation that they did on the first day. Every one was horrified and is standing at whatever location they found to stay rooted , they are standing together ready for a huge battle that is about to take place.

Two huge battle s.h.i.+ps can be seen from the mist, slowly approaching towards Ares and the villagers. There will be at least five hundred soldiers in those both s.h.i.+ps combined. Numbers wise, Caracus and Mindoro are a hundred more but the people in the battles.h.i.+ps are elite soldiers, deadly trained with highly weaponry compared to normal villagers who were braced with ordinary ones.

Out of nowhere all of Mindoro villagers and Ares party is standing inside surrounded by Caracus warriors that rushes and positioned outside with the barricades and s.h.i.+elds seeming to protect them from the enemies.

*"What is this uneasy feeling? Something is not right"* Ares keeps hesitating while trying to process what was happening in front of him.

Suddenly the barricades and s.h.i.+elds which are supposed to protect them from the enemy attacks are turned inside. It's like Caracus is not holding barricades to stop enemy, but holding it inside surrounding every villager of Mindoro as if they have made a cage of barricades with Mindoro inside.

What is this new turn of events when everything is already in chaos?

500 warriors of Caracus surrounded the puny 100 Mindoro villagers. As everyone from Mindoro is perplexed. An old guy with an evil smile walks towards this mob while his hands are crossed behind him as if he is pulling something. And literally behind him are the corpses of supporters and messengers who belonged to Mindoro Village being dragged down by Nero and the rest of the Caracus villagers.

Every villager standing inside the cage of barricades realised they were tricked!.They were betrayed and trapped "simply blinded by trust" and everyone lost hopes on their lives.

"WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING NEROO!" Ares shouts on the top of his lungs while watching the villagers who helped him, came to fight for him were now lying lifeless while Nero is laughing like a maniac- a madman.
