Heart Cultivation 358 Frozen Basin: Choice

They cannot move without deciding on the Omega?

Jen got this revelation after carefully watching them for some time, was this deity sent opportunity? She was forced to think, what if the Omega go against this revolt?

Would they really kill him?

But the question was how would he go against when he knew the rules?

The present Omega was strongest, if they killed him in result of revolt, it would be a favor for someone working so hard.

She has to think it, whether to get help of her custodians or she could force Omega but how…

Her mind was working on this single idea, when everyone was so much careful, how she could make Omega to commit mistake and offend all?

She has powerful weapon for this purpose, her core roots, she could create some suspicion in the mind of the Omega about the possible hidden enemy in the caravan? She asked to herself.

There was danger in doing so, what if she lacked prior knowledge of the fiber base of the human beast, what if she triggered his suspicion toward her?

The custodian was observing his master, and from the look there was more dangerous plan in her mind.

He sighed.

The junior Omegas were about to speak up for the final discussion, everyone was ready to listen the name of the new Omega when suddenly Omega spoke up, "I don't know who caused this suspicion but he must be still among us," he wanted to argue not because they were replacing his position, but he has strong premonition that there was some exit at the other side of the stream.

Jen blinked her eyes as soon as he spoke, she don't need to take risk?

The hunters heard and they wanted to laugh at his words.

"Omega, you already know the rule," a junior omega reminded.

This turned the situation tenser, if there was revolt that means everyone equally disagree with his decisions, and there was no more following until they get to replace the present leader.

"You are misleading others all the time and saying there is someone apprehensive, are you trying to say that our revolt is baseless? According to the rules, we kept ourselves under the rules yet you are the one who broke the proper order, can you tell what would happen next?" almost all the hunters spoke at once.

"I don't fear death," in his eyes, to be replaced due to the blame of being unfitting for this position and since the hunters were directly blaming, it was better to die than to follow behind false.

The junior omegas wanted to stop it but…

Too late, the beastly dominions came rus.h.i.+ng toward the omega, it was horrible sight to witness, the omega was standing near the stream, it seemed the fire was falling down on the ground where Omega was standing and willing to die rather than to accept the blame.

With the strong impact the ground shook and the frost broke, the body of the Omega fell in the water.

Now only junior omegas were left to decide who would be next Omega.

There was no more conflict among them, so the Omega was chosen without much ado.

The new Omega chose to return back and walk alongside the stream, if they were able to find some shelter then they would rest first.

They followed the orders of the new leader and walked alongside the stream, Jen was amazed at the way these hunters follow strict rules, they even don't give face to the Omega and strongest among them.

The snow was falling down as usual, the pace of the caravan was not too fast nor slow, Jen kept the silence as others, no one was speaking about the revolt or the outcome.

From the casual look, this silence was not good.

Jen was sneaking toward the stream, they were on right path, in two days with the present pace they would reach the exit and it would be the end of all her plans.

Now this stream can only give some favor, perhaps her wish was heard by the stream, there were signs of storm.

This whole area was known for the frost storms because of the presence of stream or there was some other reason.

A junior omega stopped when he sensed some changes and extreme silence, there was much clarity and the snow fall suddenly stopped which made it odd.

It was clear signs of frost storm, "We have to immediately retreat from the stream edges," the omega pointed toward the stream and warned everyone.

Few of them understood the reason behind this order and started to retreat, Jen was also alarmed, a frost storm meant no one will survive.

The custodians noticed the changes too and they fled to reach the master, the hunters were running here and there, Jen was worried if anyone of them survived, the danger would remain the same, they all should die but how…

She ordered her custodians to immediately find a safe place for the whole caravan, the custodians were baffled to hear this, was not master planning to kill them, now that the opportunity brought the possibility she wanted to save them, they would have scratched their hair if they had.

But it was order from the master, they fled to find some safe place.

Not too far, there was mountain, if they all hide behind mountain the frost storm would not affect severely, as the custodians informed Jen started shouting to get the attention of the hunters and told about the mountain.

They were running away from the stream in every possible direction, because of the wind many were able to listen her and follow the direction while many were struck under the frost winds, they were simply helpless against nature.

Jen gestured her custodians to kill all those who left behind and spare none, few of them who were following her reached to the mountains and hide behind it, almost half of the hunters could not return from the storm.

The frost storm crashed against the mountain and dispersed in directions, the custodians were busy killing the hunters in the storm.

No one shall escape, they were yelling to remind.

"Fortunately we find this mountain," someone voiced while trying best that the frost don't directly hit him.

Now they were thinking that to revolt the order of the Omega was best choice, if they had followed him and walked to cross the stream then no one would have survived until now.

The hunters who were already facing storm when met the black smoke, they were stunned, where did this black smoke appeared and why this killing them, slowly many spots appeared on the surface of the stream where the hunters were thrown by the custodians, it was best way to kill and get rid the dead bodies at the same time, later the frost would stiffen the surface, and there would not be any traces.

After finis.h.i.+ng up there job, they returned but cannot talk with the master so they waited for a chance.

"How would we know that we did not leave anyone alive?" a custodian asked because master has ordered that no one should escape.

"It is simple, I have perfect counting of all hunters near the stream when they were choosing the new Omega, one of you should go and count the hunters those are hiding behind the mountain," the one who was chosen by the master to lead them spoke.

The custodian immediately went to count and returned in few moments.

"There are only twenty five left," the custodian reported.

"Alright, the total number of hunters was fifty five few hours ago, now everyone will tell how many he killed individually during the storm?" the genius one asked.

They reported their numbers and there was mistake, one was left alive, or none of them killed him.

They immediately went back to find him, there was no one there, the storm was not threatening as before but it was fatal for constant exposure.

"We are doomed, if he survived and told about strange happening then the master would be implicated," one of them shuddered.

A hunter survived and he was running toward the mountain, it was the direction of the wind and he decided to run with the winds, if he was lucky he would be able to save his life, thinking this he chose this way.

He also happened to witness the creatures, he thought to find other hunters and tell them.

"Master ordered to kill all then why you were flying around and carousing?" the genius custodian strictly asked.

"I thought that others could tackle them all," he lowered his head.

"If you wanted to save yourself from retribution then find that last sc.u.m and kill him," the custodian ordered.

The custodian fled to find, retribution meant a death with no further lives, and it was most horrible for custodians.
