A forest. Right, an unknown anomaly got hold of me. It is not the same forest where it got me, it's different. Different trees and plants, none that I recognise. They even have magic in them, weak but ever present. Right are my familiars with me. All five are with me. All the equipment in the dog backpack is still there, there are no form changes, still big wolves with more muscle than normal. Magical make-up and structure without distortion and errors.

Gps no signal. Radio silence. That is not true. There is a weak signal. Tuning into it.

Too weak. Can't pick up with a walky talky.

"Sap 4 come."

Call one of my familiars do me. He is carrying radio equipment with some other stuff in his dog backpack. Setting the equipment up and tuning in to the previously found frequen.

Radio: "Strike, this is mission control, radio check, over."

"Mission control, this strike, roger, over."

"Strike. What is your status? over."

"No wounds. All equipment Present. Unknown location. Taken by anomaly. over."

"Request location coordinates. over."

"I say again, Unknown location. No GPS signal. Request radio tracking. Over."

"Request denied. Info anomaly."

"Unknown effect of anomaly. Felt like moving. Break."

I take deep breath.

" Unknown flora surrounding me, detecting magic from all flora. over."

"Anny radio noise beside this frequency. Over."

"Negative, all channels are silent. no static. over."

"Strike changes are that you are not on earth."

"Verify. Over"

"Data came in just now. Similarity to Monster appearance but different. Over."

"Changes of return. Over."

"Nil. Connecting with Hq."

"Strike. This is Hq. Too you copy. Over"

"Hq. This is strike. copy. Over"

"You are going mia . Released from duty."

"Hq Info. Over."

"Recovery is currently impossible. If a chance appears, sending an automatic familiar for recovery. You lose is not critical but it hurts losing an excellent asset but we manage.

To what you want with your freedom in the new frontier. Strike call sign fully reserved do you. Out."

The radio signal cut out.

I disassemble the radio and start exploring.

After 5 days exploring. Days are ca. 24 hours.

I find an imminent battle between Wolve type monsters and presumed humans as far as I can recognise.

Wait, they are seriously using medieval equipment, appearance and technological wise.

At least there are two magic responses from two individuals.

And only one of the presumed mages is fighting.

Slash followed by small scale magic, pierce, retread, medium scale magic, schield magic followed by a counter and rush into the herd.

So she is fighting in close quarters and even has the agility and reflexes to support that type of combat style.

She even uses predominantly small-scale magic. It has fast activation times, harder to mess up and doesn't need that much concentration to cast.

So why can't I enjoy it too. My corruption/damage to my personality is showing.

So what let me enjoy it too. Let's just join the fray.

"Sap 1 through 5 stand by and hide.

Complete Summon Assault wolfes.

3 Detachments 1 support me, 2 skirmishers.

If need and near. Permission to support other humanoid combatants."

I started to channel two larger scale magic. Projectiles from the magic are large and specialise in penetration, I move to flank the herd during channeling. My combat familiars follow me as they did not receive the go hade do attack.

3 seconds left from the original 5 sec channeling duration.

1 second left "Go"

Two of the tree pack/detachments start running and launching their integrated small scale magic to damage and disrupt the herd.

I launch the two projectiles the instant I finish channeling.

Start running, draw my short sword with my left hand and my custom iron whip with my right over my left shoulder.

As I get near them I deploy a synapse dampening field and a provocation aura.

Both of the magic are based of the core of my iron whip. Both of my weapons are magic foci/catalyst that assist me in casting my magic. The aforementioned core is a horn of a monster that deployed magic that interferes with the nervous system and by extension mind manipulation.

One of the monsters senses me and pounces on me. I avoided it with a small margin and hit his neck with my iron whip, breaking it. Next another one pounces and again avoiding and this time stabbing into the neck severing a blood vessel.

Jumping over it and killing another one by breaking its neck.

Generating multiple small scale magic bullets and launching into the throat of another monster that is trying to bite me. Ducking and at the same time cutting open the stomach of jet another monster parallel to the spine. Rolling and simultaneously generating multiple projectiles, only this time launching them in series at the same point on a monster's rib cage destroying one lung and obliterating the heart.

Followed by a horizontal slash with my iron whip to crush the skull of a monster.

I thrust with my iron whip forward and pierce the throat of a monster.

I repeat a similar sequence of actions until the end of the fight ever changing and adjusting to the ever changing battle.

At the same time.

The soldiers who were fighting are equipped with paveses a.k.a tower shields that can stand alone. Multipel spears , axes, warhammers, maces, halberd and short hacking swords.

All of the weapons have some sort of enchantment on them.

Spears have only the tip enchanted to penetrate skin and fur.

Axes, halberds and swords have their cutting ability and durability strengthen.

The shields have much more enchantments then the weapons. They have Durability, magic resistance, impact mitigation, fouling resistance and extended area of protection.

Armor is not enchanted but are of late medieval/fantasy style and are leaving the lover body free for mobility and endurance sake.

Their fight in a circular formation with pavese as a makeshift wall three ranks deep.

No bows or crossbows are used, probably they lack the power to do any damage.

Anyway, they rotate the front troops out with fresh ones to compensate for the monster's monstrous stamina and to combat fatigue.

The one of the mages is fighting outside of the formation is staying on her feet do avoid being bought down for extended periods of time. With that comes an increased chance of injury and death. She is fighting in the previously mentioned way.

The other one is in the middle of the formation and is only intervening if anything dangerous is happening to a combatant. Strike excluded.
