A person with brown skin and a fur stood in the middle of four men with adorned body armour, they all had weapon in each hand and was glaring at the young man with hatred beyond comprehension.
The young man name was Azi.
Azi is from a tribe of warriors who communicates with beasts spirit; you might want to call them a necromancer but they definitely aren't any of those.
The spirit masters tribe were known for their silky dark flowing hair with few having the white hair and a mask that has claw shape marks on them; they were also tall and had brown skin.
" give us the secret to your powers" one of the men in a much more decorated armour ordered, he had an axe with him and budging muscles that scream strength; he is definitely someone you do not want to mess with.
"aish... " Azi exclaimed in frustration "you guys keep frustrating me, how many times do I have to tell you that it is impossible! Even the tribesmen do not understand the system of how it works" Azi explained. He really did not want to fight the four men but then...
" let's do away with him then go to the spirit master's tribe to find their secrets " another of the men told the muscle men who turned out to be their leader; they all had grey skin's which gave out their identity as banshees.
"sigh..." the young man looked calm which was bothering to those four men "I am just eighteen and all you think about is sending off to the after life? Well, I won't blame you on that, "
" but what makes you think you can even get past me and even if you do get past me; do you think you can get past our tribe's gate? For your information they all have the spirit of a dragon you hear me? "He asked as if he was scolding them "D.R.A.G.O.N" Azi spelt it out to them in case they do not understand.
"... " the four men where speechless at Azi's scolding.
"He is mocking us" One of them said in anger; he had veins threatening to burst out his forehead.
" You will pay for mocking us!! " They all ran in with club, axe, lance and halberd as their weapons.
"sigh...you guys learnt to use another power by using beast core and still retained the banshee scream and you think any cat or dog could harm people from my tribe" Azi said as he calmly left their middle in a flash without them even noticing.
"why do you run! Fight like a man!!!" one of the men screamed.
"seriously? You expect me to wait and get killed? No thanks, I am not stupid " Azi responded as his body got covered in blue light.
" Have you ever heard of the stealth of a black panther? " Azi asked as dark vapor started coming out of his body.
"what does that have to do with this" the banshee asked.
"it has everything to do with this, because that is what will be defeating you" he said as his eye turned blue without the black in it.
"The spirit of a panther!!! " Azi yelled out as he bent on all fours like a beast and his eye turned like that of a panther; his sclera turned yellow without the pupil and iris in it
Roar....
A panther roar was heard and before the four men could grasp what was going on; one of them fell dead.
"there is a reason the black panther is called the ghost of the forest" Azi said as he licked his palm which was shaped like a cat.
"damn! " Azi yelled as he spat out red liquid mixed with spit from his mouth "this is the reason I hate using cats spirit" he complained as he got into another beast stance "get ready to be cut by my paws" he said as he ran on all fours leaving dark vapour behind.
The leader of the team did not notice when one of his subordinate died but he was quick to immediately bring out a dagger which he used to guard against Azi's claw attack.
" uwak..." the leader grunt in pain "you might be fast and filled with trick but don't get ahead of yourself, there ! Re those who can easily defeat you"the leader said while still finding it hard to continue blocking Azi's onslaught.
"I know... " Azi said as he did a round spin in the air, they all expected a kick since it was easier to perform that strike on air but Azi's claw was what came for them.
"I will use you all to grow stronger till the person stronger than me comes"Azi said as his claw penetrated another of his opponent chest before jumping backward immediately "that was a nice move but stupid " Azi said as where he stood before was split in half by a halberd strike.
"you are lucky but you will pay for killing two of my men! "he said as he spun his axe around him before throwing it at Azi.
"such stupid trick" Azi ran on all fours to dodge the attack but it seem like a trap as a banshee scream was directed towards him, it was too late to dodge and he was swept by the scream's wind.
.
Azi was lofted of the ground into the tree at his back; he spat out a mouthful of blood as his back bone cracked the moment ithit the tree, but instead of the tree getting destroyed like those animes, it stood rooted on the ground and only shook it's leaves in response to Azi's collision with it.
"if I must say; that was painful" Azi groaned in pain as he stood up; he seems to have been disconnected with the panthers spirit " you even disconnected me with the panther's spirit" He said as if it was an impossible thing to do
"you have got me all perked up now" Azi wiped off the blood stain at the corner of his lips as he smiled in amusement.
The leader of the four man team who have now been reduced to two saw Azi's weak state as an opportunity to attack him so he did that.
"Lion's wrath!!! " Azi screamed as he called upon the spirit of a lion.
Azi hair became crimson red and his fang elongated; his eye became as sharp as that of a predator and furs covered his hands and legs "you should have ran the moment he called upon the lion's wrath" Azi stood rotted on the ground as he got the banshee's axe with his bare hand, there was a ripple but nothing else as that happened.
The other banshee who was still alive tried his luck by spinning his lance in a rotating strike but he was met by a terrifying roar which immediately paralyzed him.
Azi hit the bamshee's leader stomach with an elbow strike then releasing his hand from the axe, he lifted the leader by his head before flinging him towards the same tree he was pushed back to with the banshee scream.
"argh! " the banshee leader screamed in pain.
" have you ever wondered what makes a lion so terrifying? " Azi walked in a majestic footstep towards where the leader was with an elongated claw but then he stopped and smiled in amusement "aha...it would be better to kill the last of your teammate while you, the leader, watch as your the last of your teammate die" he said as he changed the direction of where he was going.
"you monster! " the leader screamed as he watched Azi walked towards his last teammate, 'why did he refer to himself in a third person view?' he thought inwardly. The banshee team leader was referring to the time when Azi said he should have ran when he heard the 'lion's wrath', 'could it be that Azi is completely possessed by the lion's spirit? 'he asked him self as he figured there was no way out except death if that was true.
The spirit master's spirit possession was rumored to be partial as the possessed still retain his consciousness, but right now...Azi seemed to be completely controlled by the lion's spirit.
"hmph" Azi snorted as he saw the paralyzed man who used the lance " are you telling me that you are like this because of a Roar that wasn't even my full strength" Azi screamed in annoyance as he repeatedly kicked the man in the lance to answer him.
" well, I wouldn't blame you for dying to a roar; I am that magnificent " Azi combed through his red hair with his fingers as he turned to face the banshee team leader.
"blame yourself for letting him call me "he said as he burned the team leader in flames.
"argh... Please, please spare me!!! " the leader screamed as he got burned in scorching flames.
"ahhh..." Azi smelled the air in pleasure "the sound of pure..." his was interrupted as it seemed like his time was up.
" Basterd! How can you enjoy the smell of that" Azi seemed to have taken back the control of his body, realizing all the mess the lion caused he swore to never get as excited as he did "the lion's wrath is too gruesome " he said as he looked towards the north " off to the banshee's teleport station" Azi said as he headed towards the city where lucian was
