Chapter 173 - Chapter 173 The Vampire And The Werewolf

As Thomas and Ceil stood stood in the inn Ceil handed Thomas his jacket and said "Your jacket is now considered a talisman." Thomas stared at the jacket and asked "But doesn't it have to have a piece of paper?" She shook her head and said "No it just has to be an objective with magical properties." Thomas put the jacket on and said "It doesn't feel any different." She walked past him to the door and said "You won't feel any different you just won't be able to teleport." As she left she said "And don't worry you'll be able to take it off." Thomas stared at the door and mumbled "Well here goes nothing." As Thomas stood there for a moment he let out a sigh of relief and said "The teleportation isn't working." Thomas walked towards the window and said "I should thank Mira's dad for mentioning this while it's still day, otherwise I might not have the chance since I don't know when we'll leave." As Thomas arrived at his house he knocked and said "Its me again." As the door slowly creaked open he stared at the door and said "It's unlocked?" Thomas pushed the door open and called out for him as he shouted "Hello anyone here?" As he took a few more steps he heard a noise in a nearby room. Thomas walked towards the door and said "I hope you don't mind my intrusion but I'm coming in." As Thomas opened the door he seen a large wolf man standing in the center of the room. Thomas stared at it for a few moments and said "My bad I think I have the wrong room." As Thomas closed the door he mumbled "Am I dreaming?" Thomas took a few steps away from the door and said "I'm sure it's nothing." As the creature jumped through the door Thomas stared at it and said "It pretty realistic you tore through that door." The creature began to smell the air and turned to stare at Thomas as it let out a howl and began to sprint at him on all four of its limbs. The creature stopped moving and stood up in front of Thomas. As it morphed into a human and asked "Are you the vampire I seek?" Thomas stared at him for a moment confused and asked "Who are you?" The man began to sniff Thomas as he said "You don't seem like the person I'm looking for." As Mira's father walked in he said "That's correct, I am the one you are after, not him." The man in front of Thomas turned to him and asked "Are you ready to finish this?" Mira's father nodded and said "Indeed in a matter of fact I've been waiting for you." The man changed back into the wolf and began to charge at Mira's father. Mira's father glanced at Thomas and said "This is a duel to the death it would do you well to stay out of it." Thomas walked towards the door and said "This has nothing to do with me then." As Mira walked in she seen her father being torn limb from limb. Thomas stopped moving and stared at her as he said "Don't take this the wrong way but you shouldn't interfere." Thomas sat down and yawned as he stared at the roof and mumbled "I was gonna leave but her being here changes things." Mira stared at the werewolf and her father as she asked "Why are they fighting?" Thomas shrugged and said "Don't know, all they said is that it's a fight to the death." Mira stared at Thomas and asked "Would it be wrong if I tried to help him?" Thomas stared at her and said "What part of you shouldn't interfere did you not get?" As Mira's father regrew his limbs the werewolf pinned him against the wall and began to howl. Mira stared at Thomas and asked "But we should at least try to help him." Thomas stared at her and said "Even if we tried to intervene we'd just get ourselves killed." The werewolf tore into his shoulder and tore off another one of his arms as Mira asked "How do you know?" Thomas stared at her and said "Your father can remove an orc's head with his hand I doubt we'll be of any help." The werewolf fell through the wall with Mira's father and stood on top of him. Mira stared at Thomas and said "Well I'm not gonna sit around and wait for him to just die." Thomas glanced at her and said "If you ask me he should be fine." Mira glanced at him and asked "What are you talking about he is dying!" Thomas glanced at them and watched as Mira's father shoved his hand completely through the werewolf and said "Yeah I think he got this." The werewolf began to howl as it ignored its injury and tore his head off. Mira watched as the head hit the ground and said "There's no way he's fine." Thomas stood up and said "Well if your about to do something stupid at least remove this weight talisman so I can at least try to help you if things go south." Mira removed the talisman and said "Alright then I'm gonna save my father." Thomas stood there and mumbled "I have a bad feeling about this." As Mira jumped onto the werewolf's back the decapitated head shouted "What are you doing you fool!" Mira glanced at the head and said "I'm not gonna lose you after you finally found me." The werewolf grabbed her and tossed her away as it stomped down on the headless body and dashed towards her. Mira bit the wall and was soon clawed at leaving some deep scratch wounds on her chest that healed up almost immediately after receiving them. Thomas stood there and began to stretch as he said "I really wanted to just thank you and go home to sleep, I didn't really expect this." Mira's father's head glanced at him and said "Right now I'm focusing all of my mana into her please protect her, I won't have enough mana to supply myself so I will likely die but please make sure she lives." Thomas picked up the head and said "You don't mind do you?" The head stared at him and said "Are you listening, I need you to do whatever you can to protect Mira." Thomas stared at the head and said "Okay but just remember your the one that said anything." Thomas tossed the head at the werewolf that was clawing at Mira repeatedly and shouted "Hey you overgrown dog, why don't you come over here and play with me for a while." The werewolf turned and glared at Thomas as it began to growl Thomas said "I probably shouldn't have thrown his head." Thomas shrugged and said "Oh well sure beats finding a chair." Mira crawled to her father's head and asked "Will you be okay?" The head stared at her and said "Unfortunately I used the last of my mana to keep you alive, I won't have very long to live but at least I finally got to see you again." Mira stared at the head and said "You really did have everything under control." He stared at her and said "Yes but I didn't account for you to interfere." Mira picked the head up and leaned against a wall with it as she said "I'm sorry I should've listened to him." As the werewolf ran towards Thomas it got down on all four limbs and pounced at him. Thomas took off his jacket and said "Fighting something stronger then me sounds like it could be fun, but this jacket will just get in the way." As the werewolf swiped its claws at Thomas he teleported behind it and watched as the werewolf jumped through the wall. Thomas walked towards the broken wall and said "That's third wall you've broken through, well one was a door." The werewolf stood up on its two back legs and morphed back into a human. Thomas stared at him for a few moments and asked "What's up with the sudden transformation." The man put his hand on his own chest and said "My wounds will heal quicker then you think, surrender now or perish like him." Thomas walked through the hole in the wall and said "Although that sounds like a really interesting idea I don't think I can let that slide." The man walked towards Thomas and said "Just by looking at you I know that I can kill you in this form easily." Thomas shrugged and said "Your hardly the strongest person I've fought, so spare me the minor details and get ready for your second fight of the night." The man nodded and said "So you have chosen to die rather then live." Thomas shrugged and said "Does that even matter at this point." The man stared at Thomas and asked "What are you talking about." Thomas stared at him and said "Live and death, sure it sucks but it's all natural, completely unavoidable, however people and creatures can both speed that process up." The man stared at Thomas confused and said "Your speaking nonsense." Thomas stared at him and said "So what if I don't make sense, in the end after this fight it won't matter."
