The troll looks at them with absent air and slow expression, these animals are not known for their great intellect but for their brute force and an animal instinct too enormous, bordering on the uncontrollable; even being a young specimen like this.
"I'll leave you the fun, time to get my competition out of the way and start the time of changes," the faun continues talking as he pulls out of a leather bag: a yellowish luminous glass sphere, throws the sphere against the troll's head, exploding with a deafening sound and an explosion of light blinding everyone.
The troll grabs his head with his hands after throwing the huge wooden mallet he carries, running frantically and aghast not seeing where he is going. Banzai and Kira barely manage to dodge it as the beast waves its arms.
"Shit, that thing is heading to the festival," Kira growls.
"Maldey disappeared too, probably that sphere of light he used to flee."
"Rather to be able to buy time, it still has a lot of merchandise, he's going to need time to pick them up. But we have a bigger problem now, come on!"
The two run out in the direction of the screams, they can see in the distance the troll smashing everything in his path as he made his way quickly towards the festival. The troll roars grabbing the pieces of one of the tents, running erratically along the way until he reaches the people in the middle of festival. Causing uncontrollable chaos among the crowd, who try to run away from that thing.
Kira runs faster now, avoiding the panicked crowd barely, as he passes by his paws step on the traces of blood and pieces of bodies, he gets to see how the troll holds a child by the legs, ready to destroy his small bones. Kira roars before taking momentum from her hind legs, burying her fangs in the troll's back, Banzai was left behind unable to act immediately out of fear.
The troll growls annoyingly dropping the child and trying to get the she-wolf off his back, waving his long arms and taking clumsy steps in circles, while running around the square without discretion if he stepped on someone else.
"Kira lets go of that thing, it will only cause more damage," Banzai growls somewhat coweringly.
That was enough for Kira to distract herself and let go of her grip, just as the troll manages to hold her and throw her into one of the stores full of boxes.
"When you fight don't talk if it's not necessary, Banzai, that beast won't stop even if you ask it." Kira rises from the ground with her muscles creaking slightly, shaking her head from side to side before looking at him. "Think of this as if it were a hunt, let your instinct take you."
"We are only two, if you didn't notice. Most people are still on the run."
"Someone will come or we will have to call them, my godmother must not delay if that man did not entertain her too much." Kira begins to transform into a human to take out the phone, when she notices the same group of dwarves following Maldey's orders joining in the chaos and looting. "What was missing, more problems."
She squeezes the smartphone and entering the application given to her by her godmother, immediately accesses the phone of the Goat of Oblivion. She doesn't know exactly what to say when they answer the other side.
"Five apprentices are going in that direction, they are the closest, two adults too but the crowd holds them back. Call them so they know where to go," says the Goat of Oblivion without waiting for her to speak.
"Understood, who are you going to listen to then?"
"Let's see who has the guts to be a leader then, bluish crow, golden bird told me you descend from an alpha lycan, let's see if you inherited that too, not just the pretty face." He hung up.
Kira snorts, moving her neck somewhat, hiding her tremor in her body a little.
"Come on," she says firmly after putting her cell phone in her suit. "Fear will only serve you to step back, overcome it and dare to push your limits." She pats Banzai on her back before turning into a wolf.
Kira comes out of the boxes and the fabrics, facing the disaster that that band of madmen and the beast cause. She raises her head in the air and lets out a long howl: the call of the hunt; almost immediately he receives a response, three being similar howls and a hyena laugh. Kira sees being joined by Banzai, two werewolf, a coyote, a tigress and a Koibra, a four legs cobra with a spot pattern in the scales.
The werewolves do not take long to recognize what she is, keeping a little low profile, they are not so foolish as to challenge a lycan.
"Let's show what we learners are capable of," she growls, closing their eyes and concentrating to be able to connect with each of them.
"Who made you the boss?" says the tigress with a slight growl, although the lycan is somewhat bigger than her.
Kira doesn't respond, pushing the other out of the way, managing to prevent them from smashing a hatchet straight to the face, , managing to prevent them from smashing a hatchet straight into the face of tigress. Kira protects the feline under her paws as she growls at one of the dwarves, who looks at them with a sinister smile.
"Let's take care of the dwarves, Koibra, coyote and Banzai, go for them, the others will serve for the subsequent attack, we need teamwork, I gave myself to understand? Even if they are not to work like that."
Kira advances first, pulling away on one side and hiding among the fabrics of the shattered tents. Banzai, the two werewolves and the coyote follow her first, stalking the dwarves who have fun causing chaos next to the troll, blowing up debris and people everywhere. She can feel the smell of blood and hear people's panicked screams, Kira closes her eyes, feeling her heart pounding rapidly, and her blood filling every inch of her body, her mind is only preparing for one thing a single goal.
She opens her eyes again and growls gently at Banzai, who begins to move a little further away starting to encircle one of the warrior dwarves, Kira does the same on the other side, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy is in an alley between the ruins of shops. She catches the other two wolves out of the corner of her eye and the coyote join as well, although this one seems somewhat nervous for not being used to pack work.
Kira is the first to throw herself against the dwarf, who upon seeing her raises his War mace preparing to give it a direct hit; but he never touches her when Banzai holds his arm from behind, burying his teeth in his muscles and armor. The dwarf growls using the free arm to restrain Kira's jaw, using the armor plates as defense, this can hardly stand by the weight of the two animals and their legs are about to give way between pulls. The man throws his head back, delivering a direct head blow to the hyena's head stunning him enough to let go.
Kira barely sees the mace coming managing to release the dwarf from not hitting him in the face, but if he hits him on the shoulder making him lose his balance of her for a moment. The dwarf raises his weapon of war again now pointing it at his skull, but a roar catches his attention seeing behind Kira before running away.
Kira looks up to find the tigress and the Koibra join the group. She gets up by moving her beaten leg a little, before running after the dwarf with her companions. The group splits again, each depending on their own instinct and fighting mode, This time they should not hesitate and be more precise. Kira lets her mind flow, let her ideas go to others with a better plan.
The tigress runs exposed towards the square before releasing a powerful roar, attracting the attention of the enemies. One of the dwarves threw an axe, but she dodges him before running towards him even though the other dwarves are heading towards her. Her body is strong and heavy enough to withstand the impact of oak shields, hitting her sides feeling pain instantly. She turns her body, hitting the head of the dwarf with her claws, stunning him by the impact of his nails against the helmet.
Kira roars, emerging from the rubble accompanied by the other canines from different directions, beginning to surround the three dwarves. She jumps on one of them, going straight to his neck but found a partial blockage by the helmet. The dwarf shakes his fists and arms, hitting her on the cheeks with his gloved hands and metal thorns on his knuckles, managing to rub almost his eyes by just a few centimeters.
Kira drags him away from the tigress when she is helped by another of the wolves, holding the prey by the arms, although this managed to separate by giving a direct kick to the throat of the werewolf and another blow to the nose to Kira. Despite the blood gushing down her nose she does not let go of her grip, she shakes her head violently so that the armor ties on her arm begin to loosen until her teeth found the flesh and her teeth filled with blood, tearing the flesh of the arm.
The dwarf continues to fight when the two other werewolves pounce on him, holding him against the floor, the coyote took advantage of his size to remove his helmet. Kira goes straight to the jugular at once, cutting and tearing the main vein of the body, the dwarf screamed drowning in his own blood. Banzai does not wait for the others to react and does the same with another of the warriors while the Koibra and the tigress take care of the last one. The lizard winds its body and legs around the dwarf, squeezing its bones by the pressure of its rings before injecting its venom directly into the small man's bare face, biting multiple times with its deadly bite.
The screams of the warriors spread above the chaos and distant screams of the people. The troll stops at perceiving the new smell of fresh blood, seeing the group of animals at a distance holding the inert bodies of the dwarves.
"Come on, we only need the biggest one," Kira lets go of her victim's neck, showing her teeth and bristling her fur.
"My poison is not powerful enough to take down that creature."
"We will need a new and quick tactic, then."
The group dispersed quickly when the troll lashed out at them at full speed, the beast is dragging a large tree trunk in one of its hands, which it uses as a baseball bat when it hits the floor against the ground, creating a small crater in the earth.
Kira and Banzai ran to the troll, avoiding the arms and trunk, biting directly to the legs, but their teeth barely scratch the skin, they don't even manage to hold on. The troll shakes his legs sending the two canines flying through the air again, throwing them several meters beyond. Kira slams up, jumping immediately when the troll throws the log towards her, almost turning her into a crushed mass.
"This won't do any good, his skin is too thick," Banzai growls as he moves fast away from the troll.
"Maybe using some of the debris," one of the werewolves dodged one of the thrown boxes.
"It will be like using a tooth stick against a shield, we need something bigger," says the Koibra.
Kira feels an idea to fill her head, there is only one opportunity if they got there and that thing wishes to follow them.
"I have an idea, only one thing can stop it if we manage to get him there."
"Where?"
"The whistle swamp."
