All three of them entered in the forest. They first encountered few bat like mabeasts, which were quickly taken out by Shambha alone.
Then they were informed by the local woodcutters about two cannibal mabeast species. One was Gystav, a large sea gull, formed by some failed forbidden experiment. It comes once in a while from Juniper Island to feast upon human flesh. Second was Wildo, a cannibal mabeast, which one is the current problem. It looks like a wolf, only ten times faster. It feasts on animal flesh, preferably human.
Three of them strived deep into the forest, in the northeast direction, straight into the liars of the Wildow.
They made a strategy. They waited for the night, when the Wildows will be most active.
Syura stood in the middle, attracting them. Lubbock set out booby traps and Shambha got ready with his sword.
Sometimes later, the Wildows came out from their hiding. They were in hundreds, surrounded Syura. For Syura, it was his first chance to use his teigu.
Surya quickly teleported the Wildows into booby traps made by Lubbock using Cross tail. Many were cut down. Those, who managed to escape were cut down by Shambha.
"So, what now?" asked Lubbock.
"We need to show the tails of the Wildow to show the proof of the killings." said Syura.
"Listen green apple, you need to cut all the tails." said Shambha.
"Are you kidding me?" said Lubbock.
"Syura and I did maximum of the work. What you did was only setting up of little booby traps".
"Listen Shambha, my work was most difficult. While making booby traps with wires, we calculate the angles of the wires to ensure maximum damage."
Without any delay, Shambha cut off the tails of the Wildow (otherwise it would take whole night). Lubbock tied the tails with strings and even made bag of strings to carry them. Shambha tried to teleport them to the neighbourhood, but took them in the tribal village instead.
The villagers were astonished by the fact that three teenagers appeared out of nowhere.
The villagers pointed large spears, swords and clubs towards them. They were in hundreds, wearing olive green
t shirt like garments and brown robes. They took them to the village chief.
The village chief wore a thick gold necklace and robes made up of Leopard skin. He had a strange ring on his left hand with the design of two snakes coiling with each other.
The village chief immediately identified Shambha, as many of the villagers work for the Jungle regiment of the capital. He had personally worked with the general.
"What are you doing here in the devil's forest Shambha? Who are these two? What is there in the blood soaked bags?" asked the village chief.
"How do you know my name?" asked Shambha.
"My qwestions are more important"?
"Well, these are my friends. This is Syura, the son of Prime Minister Honest. On my right is Lubbock, the fourth heir to Gracius family. In our bags, there are bundle of tails of Wildows we killed."
The village chief scratched his thick beard for a few seconds and then said, " Do you know the seven deadly sins."
"Yes", said Lubbock.
"Name them".
"Wrath, Greed, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth and Pride" answered Lubbock.
"Very well. But do you know that, during the civil war, the emperor that time had put each of the sins into seven of the teigu. I myself carry Serpent charm, from which I can summon any non teigu weapons like maces and swords. It is carrying sin of Pride. Cross tail contains sin of Lust. This green haired boy will turn into a pervert. Shambhala contains sin of Greed. Syura will also develop a violent personality. Budo's teigu Adramelec contains sin of Sloth. And yours contain sin of Envy. Now go away from this place. Gystav will be coming soon."
"Old man, we actually came here so that we can learn about the location of the animal. We will kill it." said Shambha.
The chief scratched his cheek once again.
"Sorry, I can't help you."
Suddenly a old man came out of nowhere.
"I will help you" said the old man.
"Impossible, you are sick" said the village chief.
"I have waited fifty years for someone to accompany me. I will take revenge for my wife. I may be 85, but I can still take down a lion with my sword. I will kill it" said the old man.
"Very well, but first let's have a maloha, the grand festival. We will celebrate the killing of Wildows."
The sun was rising in the east, marking the start of a new day.
