Every time the indian's weapons got hit BEBGOROROTI's clothing, they got desintegrated and turned into dust. The warrior from cosmos laughed when he saw how weak were the weapons of the natives from this land. In order to demonstrate His power, he raised KOB, aimed it to a tree and a rock, and next, destroyed them both. (...)
