Lumiel went again towards the third Halls. The Halls of shape-shifting lycanthrope guardian. The Halls was towering in height and it led to an underground.

His current destination was the Halls of the Shapeshifting guardian. He deeply relies on his Werewolf form and the best guardian when it comes to it.

Lycanthropes has many types of werewolf forms ranging from Brute werewolf, Ancient werewolf, Alpha werewolf, Blood werewolf, Shadow werewolf, and Feral werewolf. It all depends when you unlock all beast auras that were used to shapeshift.

As for his shape shifting, he has all the werewolf forms that one Lycanthrope would drool on. Also has the attacks related to his werewolf forms. One was the guardian class Shapeshift Ancient Werewolf that was the oldest werewolf form.

He entered with his job class imprint and then the door opened. Lighting up the darkness with the torches installed on the walls.

The wind was damp and the tomb felt cold. Even with the torches, he can still feel the cold atmosphere. With his steps echoing on the floor, he, at last, arrived at the halls.

He entered the halls and the Guardian was already waiting for him. He has a sword with him that thrusts the floor and it stands erect. He has his wolf cap with him and the robe pelts on his shoulders.

Lumiel then approached the guardian and he was greeted with a growl.

"Whoever entered the tomb must be tested. Defeat me and I will give you my inheritance and artifacts," he smirked.

"I am here for that. I will grant your wish then," Lumiel readied.

"Then be ready," he muttered.

Lumiel, with his claw weapons equipped, readied for combat. Dashing towards his opponent.

His opponent then leaped towards him and landed on the floor. His eyes glowed with a reddish glow and then smirked at him.

The enemy then used his shape-shifting skill and turned into a werewolf. Roaring as he turned into one. Lumiel immediately showed his fangs and then growled.

Lumiel then dashed and clawed him, making his opponent evade while doing so. His movement speed was fast and it surprised Lumiel.

"So fast!" Lumiel accidentally muttered.

The opponent then used a Claw slash and Lumiel tried to evade. Making him get clawed slightly on the cheeks. Blood dripped afterward.

Lumiel then attacked once again, but this time, he used his werewolf form. Making the two of them the same in their forms. The two werewolves then clashed and clawed each other. Not getting back down.

Lumiel clawed him on the face and him to his. Lumiel whimpered after he was clawed. He felt the force of a guardian-class werewolf shapeshifter.

His opponent was the most advanced shapeshifter and he was just a green leaf compared to him. But Lumiel was holding his ground while doing so and it impressed the Guardian instead.

'He can duel me one on one? How? This young one is impressive!'

Beating each other's bodies with their claws. The two attacked each other and were consuming stamina. His stamina then was almost depleted. But then, he realized that his opponent has stronger and faster attacks in that form.

Immediately, he summoned wolves that attacked his opponent. One Blood wolf, one Ice wolf, two spirit wolves, and one alpha wolf.

With the buff of the Alpha wolf, the wolves attacked more synchronously. Dealing damage toward his opponent while doing a combo of attacks.

One blood wolf attacked and he was swatted to the side. Another one covered his formation with a switch and then attacked his side. Others followed through and also attacked on the back.

Attacking him nonstop, he clawed them with his paws. The wolves then regenerated with his skill Regenerate companions. Making his wolves heal.

He also summoned ravens and they attacked the enemy. Making them attack his sight with their skill Peck eyes.

Lumiel then attacked once again, but this time, he was with his companions. Contrary to the enemy that has no companions at all.

Even so, he can withstand their attacks like it was nothing. Making Lumiel bite his lower lips. It was harder than he thought it was.

Lumiel then clawed and battered him once again and they fought each other. They used the skill Bloodlust, Savagery, and Wild rage.

The two then attacked each other and they dealt damage that slowly heightens. With their skill Wild rage, they attacked nonstop and were like beasts.

Bloodlust also was slowly stacking and they dealt bleeding damage to each other.

Savagery also was used and it dealt more damage the longer it gets.

Lumiel then slowly chipped his life and then made the enemy burst into rage. With its life on its end, he was alerted of a possible rage that will happen.

It was then, the enemy used the skill Shapeshift Blood werewolf and he then turned into one.

He clawed Lumiel and his health was slowly healing with every attack. His attacks have Life steal and he regained his lost health almost instantly.

He would have to deal more damage to make his enemy have slower healing. But with greater damage, the enemy will have more difficulty.

Lumiel then immediately reverted to human form and dealt more damage. With Bloodlust on full stack, he was bleeding profusely.

His claws then were used to attack and he slashed him with them. Slashing vehemently with his skill Wild instincts.

The enemy has life steal but he was bleeding profusely, making his health diminish even with his attacks.

Wild instincts have greater effects while in human form and so Lumiel took advantage of it. It was a skill of Lycan berserkers in the first place.

Lumiel then slashed and slashed nonstop and used Recall and assault many times that dealt damage to the enemy. Wolves went to his shadow and they reemerged to attack once again. Slowly chipping his health points away.

The enemy used Menacing roar and Lumiel was stunned by the deafening shout. Still, it was his last ditch effort and his last attack.

With the enemy in his last efforts, he used his skills to end its life. Recall and assault, then Savagery. He then used his Ultimate which was Wild rage. Clawing him nonstop and with the stacking bleeding damage, his health was like an oozing fountain. Added with the skill Savagery, the enemy immediately has his health depleted.

"Alas, I am defeated. Well done, the skill pages are yours," he muttered.

It was then, he saw the artifacts that he used floated and then went in his direction.

The artifacts then were used by Lumiel and they were all strong. The sword boasts 10 physical damage and the wolf cap gives +1 mastery on Fury, Menacing roar, Rend, Arcane paws, Rage, Hunt, Predatory kill, Rip, Ripping bite, Claw slash, Dash, and Claw.

The pelt boasts of +1 mastery on Beast aura - white, green, yellow, blue, red, purple, orange, and dark.
