Chapter 66 - Puppy

*Howl*

Seeing how I turned his subordinates into mincemeat, the commander of the magma wolves as well as the other wolves at his side all let go of the Darkmoon tribe and slowly moved forward, encircling me.

"Stand back." Raising my hand, I pushed Lila back a second before waves of fire were shot in my direction. The heat slowly approached, but luckily I was ready this time.

I burst forward and a trail of crimson footprints remained on the ground as I suddenly appear, by the bodies of the wolves I killed.

But instead of hitting nothing, the enemy attacks changed directions and followed my movements and burst into an ocean of flames blocking my vision as numerous red silhouettes appeared by my side with bloody and flaming claws.

"You are dead, human!" One of the claws moved straight towards my chest, I, without even having time to understand what was currently happening, couldn't block the attack as I instinctively closed my eyes waiting for the pain...

"Huh?" I was waiting for the pain to arrive, but there was nothing. My eyes opened, and what I saw was the claws passed through my body as if I was made of water.

My hands instantly reached out, and grabbed the nearest wolf by the head as my mouth moved even faster and I bit on its neck.

*Crack*

I could feel its neck break as countless streams of liquid entered in my mouth. My mind was clearer in an instant as my body felt reinvigorated.

"It's my turn." My mouth lets go of the wolf, as the corner of my lips slightly raised causing everyone around me to stiffen.

Both the Darkmoon and Magma tribes started to feel scared when they saw the little crimson boy's aura instantly rise and his body melts into a pool of blood before a smaller figure manifested. Crimson fur grew on its body, claws, at this moment their entire conception of reality collapsed at they saw a human turning into a beast before their very eyes, he was a crimson puppy. The Magma wolves all stepped back, because they saw this puppy which the human turned seemed very similar to their tribe's newborns.

"Nerys...." The crimson puppy murmured words, none of them could understand before its eyes slowly grew sharper.

*Howl*

All traces of blood scattered across the ground boiled and flew into the air, Lila and her mother stared at the droplets of blood in the air when it all turned into sharp blood needles which fell down on every magma wolf.

Manifestation... King! Seeing everything that happened, both sides came to the same conclusion, and the magma commander couldn't believe what he's seeing. Right now, he really regretted targeting this monstrous creature who could take the shape of both human and beast.

"Retre..."

-BOOM!-

The needles fell down on the wolves like a bloody rain, and those which were even if slightly touched by the needles all exploded into a mass of blood.

*Sluuurp* All the blood spiraled towards the sky as a suction force drew all the blood as it entered the little puppy's mouth.

When all the blood was finished, fiery red markings appeared all over the puppy's body as he coughed a ball of crimson flames towards the bodies which turned into dust in a split second before the wind blew them away as if those ferocious Magma Wolves had never been there to begin with.

When the puppy returned to his human form, he was already fully unconscious as his body couldn't stop trembling.

"What is that?" When I recovered my senses, I saw myself standing in the middle of nowhere. Darkness clouded my eyes and I felt as if something grabbed me by the legs and stopped from moving further.

Far away, four weak lights shining like stars moved in perfect synchrony, yellow, green, light, blue and red. Above the lights I saw a massive dark blue sun overlooking everything in its path as it continued its path towards the sky.

A strong smell of blood invaded my mind as I felt my whole body being shattered and remade countless times. The stars and massive blue sun were nowhere to be seen as an endless sea of blood extended from my feet toward the infinite void.

.....

"I remember now... Sky you son of a b*tch!" Waking up in the bed, I observed the interior of the hut as tears swelled in my eyes. I knew who I was now, he was a powerful and noble god who would ascend as a king one day, but instead his own arrogance caused his fall. Then I became a young man in a world governed by beasts, his first love didn't end that well as when he discovered the truth and didn't want to put her in a bad spot when they weren't even from the same world.

Raising his hand, he pressed his palm against his chest and just like he thought, the hand entered his body like it was nothing and when he removed it, there was a familiar gem on his hand.

"So this is what I've become now, huh?"
