Chapter 12 - Chapter 11 moving day

Ray wakes up and stretches his limbs.

"Finally, time to move my clan." Said Ray.

He gets up and leaves the chief's hut.

"Prime, come to me." Said Ray. (Telepathy).

"Yes, Thorzen. Said Prime (Telepathy).

A few minutes pass, and Prime arrives before Ray. "How was your patrol last night?" Asked Ray. (Telepathy).

"No incidents occurred last night, Thorzen." Said Prime. (Telepathy).

"Great, let's gather the rest of the clan." Said Ray. (Telepathy).

As Ray and Prime head towards the center of the base, Zek and Zel arrive. They both bow their heads and greet Thorzen. "Chief, we are ready, " Zek says.

"Good, gather the clan." Said Ray.

Zek and Zel leave to gather the clan. After a few minutes, they begin to arrive. Zel and Zek were the last to arrive.

"Now that everyone is here, we will begin. We will be heading to my village, which will be your new village. Gather all the food, weapons, gear, and all the necessary equipment and items. Alright, everyone, let's go. We leave in one hour, " said Ray.

"Prime guard the kids." Said Ray(Telepathy).

"Yes, Thorzen." Said Prime. (Telepathy).

Thorzen heads to the chief's hut. As he is about to enter, he hears a metallic scraping sound. Thorzen turns around and spots a large bull-looking creature dragging a giant, great ax.

"Damn, what is that thing!?" Asked Ray.

"Prime, come, we've got to protect everyone from this thing, said Ray. (Telepathy).

"Yes, Thorzen." Said Prime. (Telepathy).

Prime rushes towards Thorzen, and Prime moves towards the creature. The bull-looking creature spots Prime. It roars and charges towards him. As they get within 10 ft of each other, Prime raises his right arm as it turns into a shield, and the creature raises the giant great ax with one arm. Bam!! The great ax and shield collided. Sparks fly. Prime takes a step back, and the Minotaur stumbles back a step. The Minotaurs' hand becomes numb from that clash.

As the two clashed, Ray used to analyze the Minotaur.

Damn, level 20, this thing is strong, but Prime is stronger at only level 8.

Ray looks at Prime. "Prime is amazing." Thought Ray.

Prime punches the Minotaur in its ribs with his left fist. Smack! Ribs break from the impact. The Minotaur drops its great ax and falls to one knee. The Minotaur grabs its great ax and attempts to stand up. Before it can stand, Prime strikes the Minotaur in the face with his right hand. Shield arm transforms back to its fist as Prime lands his punch. Smack! The Minotaur's jaw is broken, and he falls backward flat on his back. It's great, ax goes flying out of his hand.

"Knocked the F... out! Yelled Ray.

Prime lunges forward and hits the Minotaur in the head. Smash! The Minotaur is dead.

System notification: 890 XP gained.

"Holy crap, Prime, you kicked its ass! I knew that you were strong, but damn, you just kicked that Minotaur's ass. I'm so impressed with your strength. With you around as my tank, I won't worry much." Said Ray.

"Thank you, Thorzen. Said Prime. (Telepathy).

"I wonder if I could create an army of shield guardians? Athena, is it possible to create an army of shield guardians? Asked Ray.

"Yes, it is possible, but each shield guardian created must have an amulet, and you must give it to someone. Said Athena.

"Hmm, that won't be a problem. Can I modify the amulet?" Asked Ray.

"What do you mean, Ray?" Asked Athena.

"Can I change it into a ring?" Asked Ray.

"Assimilate a ring, and that won't be a problem, Ray, " Athena said.

"Sweet! The next one I make will be with a ring, not an amulet." Said Ray.

"Affirmative, Ray!" Said Athena.

"Athena, how many skill points to raise assimilation to level 3?" Asked Ray.

"50 skill points, Ray." Said Athena.

"Level assimilation to level 3 Athena." Said Ray.

"Affirmative." Said Athena.

"Athena, how many skill points to raise assimilation to level 4?" Asked Ray.

"100 skill points, Ray." Said Athena.

"Do it, Athena." Said Ray.

"Affirmative." Said Athena.

Assimilation: level 4. Absorbs and integrates matter, energy, skills, spells, and abilities. 6200lbs.

"Sweet! Assimilation is O.P. It's time to assimilate this Minotaur, " Ray said.

Ray picks up the great ax and places it on the Minotaur. Ray lays a hand on the Minotaur and a hand on the great ax. "Assimilate!" Said Ray. The Minotaur and the great ax begin to turn liquidity—10%, 20%,..., 90%, 100%. Assimilation completed.

Zek and Zel head over to Ray. "Chief, that was amazing, " Zek says.

"Zek, Zel, is this the first time you've seen a Minotaur before?" Asked Ray.

"No. We have seen them before, but we hide from them." Replied Zel.

"So there are more Minotaurs in the cavern? Asked Ray.

"Yes. They usually are a lot deeper in the cavern. This one is smaller, so it was probably looking for food." Said Zek.

"Smaller? Okay, we need to finish moving. Hurry up and get everyone over to the gap. I'm going to the old chief's hut; I'll meet you there, " Ray said.

"Yes, chief." Said Zek.

Zek and Zel bow their heads and head out to finish the move.

Thorzen returns to the chief's hut. He enters the hut. "Where is that sack of junk? " Ray thinks. Ray searches for the small sack. After searching for a few minutes, he finds the small sack lying on the floor under a stool.

"Ha found it." Said Ray.

Ray pours the contents out onto an old table. The contents consist of three rings: one gold and two silver, two necklaces, both gold, four sets of earrings: one set of diamonds, two sets of gold, and one set of silver, and five coins: one gold, one silver, and three copper.

Ray puts stools, pots, containers, and anything he believes will be helpful on the table. He picks the bed up and leans it against the table. Ray puts a hand on the table and the bed. Assimilate—10%, 20%, ...., 90%, 100%. Assimilation completed.

Ray leaves the hut and heads towards the gap. Prime follows Ray. When Ray arrives at the gap, the thirty-two kobolds and five troglodytes are gathered there.

"Chief, it will take us forever to get through this gap. "Said Zek.

"Everyone, stand back to give me some room." Said Ray.

All the kobolds and troglodytes move away from the gap.

"Now that there's enough room." Said Ray. Ray places both hands on the cave wall. "Assimilate." Said Ray. Ray projects his dimensions in his mind. Imagine the big fridge. The wall turns liquid—10%, 20%, ... 100%. Assimilation completed.

"Haha, let's go." Said Ray.
