I merely finished telling the guests to return when another loud explosion happened behind me. I saw the guests wide eyed looking behind me.
'What now?' I thought as I turned to face whatever was behind me.
There was a huge black hole close to the gates of the castle. I frowned and squinted my eyes to see clearer but the hole doubled in size.
I have a really bad feeling about it.
"Seb, bring all the guests inside." I looked at Haktor and Marrione. "Attack division, With me! Defence division, to my father, protect the castle no matter what."
Haktor and Marrione nodded and started to call the knights to their position.
"Anderson, create a barrier on the entire castle. Nothing is allowed to get out or come in. Protecting the people outside is your priority." I told him and he nodded and started to run inside to find a place high enough to create his barrier.
The ground started to shake and growling sounds could be heard. We all looked at the portal
A paw came out of the portal followed by the head and slowly, the entire body.
The beast was twice the size of a bear. It had red fur covering its body. I squinted to when I saw it had two tails that were as sharp as knives. I frowned when I saw its long, sharp fangs.
Gasps from behind me could be heard as another monster came out. It looked like a wolf but bigger in size. I could see the electricity running through its body. it has sharp fangs like a saber tooth tiger.
Other monsters started to come out some were like gorillas with spikes on their backs and the others were like monkeys with four arms. More of the bear like monster also came out.
The monsters now numbers more than thirty were all staring at us with their glowing red irises in the middle of black orbs.
"Come, Vita." I summoned my sword Vita and I fell into an easy stance.
Haktor held into his weapon looking like he was trying to hide his excitement. On the other side, Klent looked like he was preparing the other support knights.
"Get ready." I said narrowing my eyes at the monsters.
There was a loud cry from the gorilla like monster and they all ran towards us.
"Go!" I said and pushed myself forward as I unsheathed Vita.
The first monster I passed was a four armed monkey who was weilding a shield and a hammer. It tried to attack me but I evaded its simple attack and swung my sword. A head dropped on the ground followed by a thud from the headless body.
I continued forward without stopping. Cutting and slicing anything in my path. I didn't stop to check if the ones I wounded are dead or not and just moved forward.
"Kill them all!" I heard Haktor shout. "Do not let a single one live."
He was commanding the knights behind me. I did not turn to look back. I wanted to get closer to the portal and close it. If I can't close it, I will need to destroy it.
I was rushing forward when a lightning struck the ground in front of me. I pulled to a stop and covered my nose from the dust and smoke that flew around. I could see a silhouette of something from within the smoke. I couldn't make out what it was at first but I could see a faint light coming from it.
"Support the eldest lady!" Someone shouted.
A gust of wind blew away the smoke and dust, making everything visible again.
I could now see the monster in front of me baring its fangs.
It was the wolf like monster.
Looking at the monster, I thought about what could its name be.
An electrical wolf? Lightning wolf? Killua wolf?
I sounded stupid.
The wolf started to make growling sounds as it paced back and forth in front of me. The electricity running through its body was becoming stronger as seconds pass by.
I knew terrible things could happen if it gets to me first. I couldn't help but imagine graphic images of blood and burns. With that amount of electricity, forget burns, I will be grilled.
Grilled pork.
I'd be a grilled little girl if I get hit by that kind of electricity.
The wolf leaped toward me with its fangs out. I moved to the left to evade it. I couldn't touch it because of its electric defence. It landed a little closer to me so I swung my sword towards it. It evaded and moved further.
I tightened my grip on Vita and dashed forward.
Fighting it would only take much time.
The wolf dashed after me and started attacking me with lightning strikes like he was Zeus on crack.
"My lady!" I heard Klent's voice.
I could feel my body became lighter and my movements became faster.
'Ha! Now that dog won't be able to catch me.' I thought confidently.
Well, I thought wrong.
The damned beast was on my side in a matter of time. He was running like a cheetah that just drank a double espresso.
It suddenly leaped forward, teeth flashing in the bright sunlight. I ducked. The beast leaped past me.
Damn!
I thought as I stopped.
"You little bitch." I said to it, my face black. "You almost got me there."
It looked at me and I saw understanding in its eyes.
'Could this be an intelligent beast?' I thought to myself.
It looked at me with a disgusted look.
"Bitches are female dogs. I'm a male wolf." It suddenly spoke in human language.
I froze.
"Humans are stupid." It said mockingly. "Can't even tell the difference."
"You.." A knight that was close to us pointed to the wolf. "You're a Lycan!"
A lycan?
As in a werewolf?
Like Jacob from twilight or Professor Remus from Harry Potter?
That lycan?
