Chapter 16 - The Fenris Wolf was a waste of time

The Fenris Wolf was getting close and Mazak had decided to sit down in the middle where soldiers and wolves both died and put away his weapons as he did not need them.

The Fenris Wolf took a good 5 minutes of walking until he arrived at Mazak who was extremely bored of waiting.

"Finally could you stop slow walking it's very boring you know" pointed out Mazak "also it's not very dramatic since I know all about you"

The walking finally speeds up and the huge 30ft Fenris Wolf emerged from the trees and arrived where Mazak was waiting as the Wolf must've heard Mazak.

"What do you mean by you know all about me? You're lying, I'm the only one of my kind"

The Fenris Wolf said in an angry manner, with its tail slightly raised.

"Right now maybe yes but in the past there were more and there'll always be more in the future, you're just another, you show up every few hundred years laying waste to lands all around" Mazak replied as he was reading from the system, he was learning all about the Fenris Wolf he could in the short time he had to reply, he also had a bit of this knowledge from reading many types of mythology from Norse to Greek.

"You also grow to extreme sizes if not killed before then, and you can rival even the toughest beings when you're at your strongest" continued Mazak whilst walking closer to the Wolf.

The Fenris Wolf was confused as it did not know how he knew this but continued to speak, "what do you want with me? And what do you mean by at my strongest, I already am at my strongest" the Fenris wolf grew wary of Mazak.

"Well you can grow up to 100ft tall and destroy cities in mere minutes. And I've come to kill you as you're obviously disrupting the lands around here" said in an informative tone, Mazak started to discretely create a trap as he's walking in a circle.

The Fenris Wolf raised its tail and started growling at Mazak. "You're just another adventurer but smarter than the others, what do you think you can do?" responded the Fenris Wolf.

"Thank you for the compliment and I'll kill you as I have planned" announced happily as he finished the trap. The fenris Wolf howled, deafening everything but itself and Mazak.

The wolf lunged at Mazak going through the trap and suddenly the wolf stopped in mid-air and came crashing down shattering the ground around them.

"Wha.. what is... this...?" Struggled to mutter the Fenris Wolf.

"It's a display of power I thought you'd know that as you are a wolf and alphas or pack leaders are chosen by displaying their strength, are they not? or am I thinking of another carnivorous species?"

Stated Mazak.

"You're too... ignorant.... I'll kill you in no time.... once I'm out of this" angrily muttered the fenris wolf trying to move.

After a few minutes the Fenris Wolf looked like it was about to give up on all hope.

"Do you want help?" Asked Mazak.

"Ye... yes... please" grudgingly announced the fenris Wolf as the trap was becoming stronger.

"Very well lets hope you have a guardian or a God to comfort you when you leave." Walking a few feet away.

The Fenris wolf questioned what he said and looked at Mazak, only to hear the quiet words of 'goodbye'.

Mazak looked at the Wolf and casted a storm blade spell at the Fenris Wolf, the blade broke the gravity trap and sliced the Fenris Wolf's head clean off and then getting dispelled as its duty was done.

Blood slowly flowed out and created a pool of blood on the green grass turning it red. Any wolf in the vicinity noticed this change and the smell of blood and decided to turn tail and run.

After Mazak killed the Wolf he got a notification.

Mazak did not know why he was given a summoning book as it was pointless to him when he has a spell to summon creatures he has befriended but he took it as he had not received one before.

After Mazak sorted his loot in his system he started heading towards his home in Kraz. A nicely sized town/city.

He started jumping long distances until he was half way home when suddenly a large explosion erupted furiously into the night sky.

The explosion came from Kraz city.

Once he saw this, Mazak immediately started jumping super fast and far, in and out of the trees. It took Mazak 2 hours of moving at his fastest to return to Kraz.

As soon as he arrived, he saw soldiers from a warring empire nearby, they were from the Calibrica empire. Mazak is currently in the Trawcrey empire and these two empires have not been at a good standing with each other, they have sent multiple letters and couriers to each other, but both only get replied with basic insults however there was never any talk of war.

Mazak had decided to think otherwise.

'Could this have anything to do with the stranger before I left?' Mazak thought to himself whilst running to a gate which had been sealed shut and was barricaded with shields of the Calibrica soldiers.
