The beast had killing intent written allover their faces . Clery quickly jumped to action to protect his brother. 'She sure wasn't kidding when she said she'll protect me 'Alec said to himself .' I might as well enjoy the action before uncle Henry comes back and I am sure she'll hold her ground long enough till he comes back .' Alec thought.
The fire lion looked at the child in the trees shadow before making a pounce .At least that's what it had in mind .It was cut short on it's aim with a sudden strike to it's mid section causing to fly into a tree brunch and got nocked out . The two other beasts attention quickly shifted to the threat in front of them stopping them from making their kill .
The leopard jumped before dashing towards Clery .She didn't try to dodge instead ran towards it .The leopard started generating lightning bolts from its paws , it was about to launch a blast . Clery leaped and pulled out both her two blades and also prepared her own attack ,the blades on her hands started emitting a green glow and before any of them knew what happened she was standing on the other side and the leopard was too behind her.
But it didn't take long to know the winner as the next second ,the leopard dropped dead as blood started coming out from the multiple cuts on its body .The two had completely forgotten about the wolf that was now just about less than two meters next to Alec .
Clery quickly noticed it and dashed top speed to save his brother . Of cause her speed wasn't average it was faster than a lightning leopard .It's a skill all the Mc Knights were born with.
She was only steps away when the lion pounced on her the two rolled down as she struggled to end it as quickly as possible to save her brother .Just then an arrow went clean through the lions head ending it .But it was a bit too late the wolf was already on Alec .
They dared not make a move cause even the slightest reaction might get Alec killed the next second .The wolf looked back at the two and let out an howl that shot ice spikes from the ground towards the two .
It was about to take Alec's neck when ,his eyes turned light blue .The wolf could not move an inch because he was also using his aura .The wolfs eyes also turned light blue . The two were looking into each others eyes .
[taming beast... ]the system said
The process was not interrupted by the uncle and sister but just then another group arrived. They were humans ,they were in armors white in colour . Henry and Clery reacted fast and attacked before they were attacked .The humans weren't in good terms with the elves and currently ,Henry had brought the kids to the human's forest.
[BOND REJECTED !!!] the system notification said .
Alec had expected something like that ,since he tried to forcefully acquire a spirit beast. He let go of the connection and the wolf ran for its dear life .As the fight continued ,the wolf came back and started tearing apart the soldires .Not because it was helping the elves but to protect it's den .
The paladins were about six left but just then a wolf cub came from the bushes to it's injured mother that was down close to where Alec was . The wolf was hit by one of the men .It was rapidly bleeding . The wolf cub didn't even notice the man that was raising a sword behind it . The man was about to strike when he suddenly dropped his sword feeling a powerful presence behind him .
Alec helped the wolf cub on seeing it's mother was no longer breathing it at once started attacking the men . It was releasing powerful attacks , ice spears ,ice blasts and even frost strikes . It was really strong compared to it's age .
The humans were all down .The three glanced at the wolf cub that was licking it's mom's body .''Ice wolves are rare to come across .'' Henry said as he dragged the meat to the dragon .Clery was busy helping his uncle tie the meat that they didn't notice the wolf cub that was moving towards Alec.
{ Come with us we'll protect you. I promise } Alec said to the wolf that was now sleeping in the basket with him . Thanks to the system he had found a skill that allowed him to talk to animals and it was a passive skill costing all of his points . When the two came to pick him up and saw the two sleeping together they couldn't even say any complete sentences ,''Did he just !!!'' surprise clearly visible in Henry's face but he wasn't that surprised he knew how crazy the Mc Knights could get .
From that point henry knew it won't be easy raising these two but he was up for the challenge .
