howl, howl!
The transformation from man to beast , left all of them rooted on the spot, Quisa, couldn't move her feet despite her body telling her to, what her instinct was telling her was that, the beast before her ,will rip her to shreds should she dared to move.
Those who have faced a truly terrifying situations knew what fear is, right now , it is not the sharp like canine extending out from the beast like man , that makes everyone afraid, nor the white fur extending from his hair, and part of his body, or the height that got much taller . the aura coming out from his body his on another level,
this aura , it cant be possible, the mages secretly thought to themselves.
"the only time I've felt this kind of aura is from the summit, its even increasing" ,
"this is crazy, can the duke give birth to a son as strong as this!, "what is this beastly form, is it a new form of mana control?" , "have never heard or seen anything like this in all my life.
"now then , its my turn to play now, you guys hard your fun". Dorian or the beast like man resembling something else gave them a smile that got goosebumps all over their bodies.
"what are you?" Vinto asked, knowing his question won't be answered
"never mind that if we don't stop him, we are dead"
"we were played '... saying this the older one cast a summoning spell . a magic like cage appeared out of thin air and trapped the monster like man , the cage began to enclosed,
"Snapi , cast your fire magic", one of the five cast a very strong fire magic spell, the fire shot fort toward the cage and burn the cage , as if trying to burn every thing in its path.
they all knew that wont be enough to stop that monster
Roar! the beast shouted , extinguishing the fire .. these guys are no push over, at least their attack is coordinated , but that is child's play, when am using at least thirty percent of the lycan body,
they were doomed from the start
"hmph" , one among them can casted a materialize spell
a cage made up of mana came out from nowhere and caged me within
interesting!, Dorian thought
system analyze this spell
analysis complete and store in data base,
skill available for use , grade E to be upgraded later
hmm that sound nice , I wont use it for now , I immediately tore the cage open, and walked out, with out so much as a scratch my hair fluttering in the air, as if mocking them to give their best short .
"Vinto use your spell" snappi said!
Vinto cast out a barrier spell affecting almost the full castle
...
I better take this potion, it was not an easy fight against that Handstorm, I wonder what are they doing with the dukes son by now
tremble!
"whats going on?"
"this is lord Vinto spell"
Voldo looked out the dark castle enveloped by powerful barrier
"what's going on? , why did the castle have that kind of barrier , are we been attacked" some mage said
Voldo, looking at those lesser mage hurrying to their deaths,
can't they see, whatever is going on there is not in our power to intervene ,wait!, don't tell me Quisa is still there!"
anyway I will wait , after all those five are very powerful. Voldo thought feeling convinced that nothing could go wrong.
..
Powers from the dark , gratifying the shadows that looms all humans, cleanse this presence with the shadows of your might.. , shadow soldiers, more like undead , coming out from the ground armed with swords shield and spear, about twenty or so making the room more menacing.
"I see you're starting to take this serious Clafort", Vinto looked at his associate and said
"no time for holding back ". the young man before us is not ordinary,
I looked at the undead that where summoned, looks like I need to kill the caster, i thought to my self..
the summoned rushed at me from different angle, one of them swinging their sword aiming for my head, while the their aiming for my torso, with a spear homing on me. I gotta say, their tactic seems good, and I would almost seem impossible to dodge, so simply just stood still, allowing them to cut through while I caught the incoming spear with my bare hand. clang! . my skin was hard that it barely left a scratch, I mean I knew from the start they were doomed.
"whhaat! is his skin made of mytrr ?" I didn't give them anytime to think, a shadow flashed , and before anyone got a time to react , Clafort, looked at the hole in his abdomen, how? that was the last thing he thought before the colour fade out of his eyes, his cold corpse drop down , he never got the chance to display the full extent of his abilities, all his summoned just simply turned to shadows, fading into the darkness, as if never been here at all. leaving the remaining four angry and devastated.
"bastard !, how dare you " Vinto pulled the angry Snappi back ,
"don't get distracted , one wrong move will cost our lives, " Vinto was the most calm among them, other than the older one who have yet to reveal any trump card, not that am worried , but a shrewd fellow like that, I need to be wary of. but on the bright side, at least i gained that other mage ability to summoned the dead. I got pulled back with the sudden sound of something exploding
boom !
the one called Hoffa materialize a boulder, and blew a hole in the wall.. lets head out side, "we can't cast any destructive spell against him".
"yes he using it at is advantage, they were right that am using my lycan form to my advantage but at the same time wrong, all is meaningless before a stronger power
ka boom!
"whats that, its the five lords, who they fighting " someone asked?
"look up"
"what is that, its that a beast "
"lets capture it , maybe we can impress our lord," everyone feeling excited to please their superiors, unware that this night was the last night they will ever see, for tomorrow will never come.
"don't interfere, go far away, he is dangerous"
Voldo, looking at the humanoid monster , what is that , don't tell me the young master turn into that, or was it summon , he thought!
I looked at the four remaining mages, and those other mages in the castle, looking into the distance you could see a small tower built out side
so this is what they where relying on, don't they know that the situation looks more threatening to them,
should I test that sword, hmm nope, not now, at least let me use this other skill.
" Clafort is dead, said Hoffa, lets head to the tower, we will
Voldo, Vultron and the others buy us time to activate the tower,". "Icras , the three turned and looked at the older one among them, you will have to use that!".
The older one just looked at them, and sighed , " well we have no choice anyway".
the three mage ran towards the tower with full speed, intending to power it
though I could pursue them, I wanted to see how strong the mage tower is , I always wanted to see how my power can fare against it.
I looked at the three 6 circle mage marking their formation against me, while the rest five 4 circle wizard up to about seventy surround me,
I mean this line up even for the duke, we put him to run for his title as one of the strongest ,for a castle hidden like this with this kind of mages, can shake an empire. But why where they hidden, and its not even the entire squad.
I really look forward to see the rest, including the their so called leader, according to the system, I should kill all thirteen, but am only seeing five, so my guess is that the eight are most likely far away .
I simply looked at the incoming small fry and my lip curl up into an arc.
I give them a big roar! in order to make them feel fear little.
lets see , I dash at one of the mage before he could imbue mana, grab his head and twist it, sending him towards another magician,
"don't give him chance to grab you" , one of them said!.
a magic imbued spear made of fire was aimed at me, I simply didn't dodge and allowed it to touch me,
the spear and the fire just dissipate into the air living all of them rooted and afraid,
"don't panic" said Voldo
for some reason i suddenly felt am the bad guy here, I mean you guys basically kidnap me ..hmph
I turn and dash at another one , as if waiting for me , they sent a heavy strike of mana imbued with wind blade , I stuck the mage head on forcefully killing the mage and the other two who prepared the attack, it was a one sided slaughter , limbs and torso every where. By now only a few and the three 6 circle mage remaining
where is Quisa , I don't see her voldo thought , could she had been killed inside
hmm, feeling a grave the situation his,
...
Quisa could be seen on the floor not knowing weather dead or alive, while Ember observed the fight below filling conflicted, surprise , unsure what to do,
why those he possess the power of the wolf , I need to know these things, and why was I sent here?. could it be he knows somethings , well we just have to come out alive before I can ask him, for now I will just observe him,
he doesn't seem to be tired while fighting , from his power alone, am sure with my full vamp strength, I will have to give him my all to kill him.
...
time to end this little fun,
I dash at one of the six circle mage, intending to kill him in one blow, at least that's what they thought, a strong dark magic bullet was sent towards me , as if having eyes in my back , what I did left all of them in despair , i cut the dark bullet with a fast speed and sent it back to the caster , before he could deflect it, another of my self already caught on to him and struck him, looking at me here, and looking at a shadow verson of my self there left them all confused, as if mocking their knowledge, my shadow self struck the other mage ,
"this is not possible" someone yelled!
"brother anything is possible, you are just not knowledgeable". I said
"bastard!" "I know" feeling unperturbed by their words
I struck him, decapacitating him , and threw his head on the floor, by now the so could formation , where just made for my one sided slaughter display
I howl at them and I did a hand seal, replicating my self into 7 turning the whole place into frenzy, giving them a slaughter party, I walked towards , Voldo and decided to test something , Voldo cast a shadow like orb around himself up to four , each of them changing shape at will, dodging all orbs shape, changing into things like lance, arrow, sword and even hammer, but i still dodged them , I grazed him a little , living a scratch on his cheek, managing to dodge me a little went backward a little, panting heavily, " looks like that magic earlier , put a toll on you am I right?", I said to him.
a boulder like stone was thrown at me , I simply dodge to the side and looked at the two other 6 circle mage coming for me, well its about time i guess, I secretly thought to my self while looking at the one called Voldo
Voldo whats wrong , the mage beside Voulton asked Voldo, while on guard against me , I don't know , my body feels weird, I can't even see clearly, its like am loos.." "loosing your self I corrected" the tio looked at me " what did you do to me?" said Voldo
"hmm, put it simply, I made you a lesser version of my self"
as if resonating to my words, Voldo began to to shout
falling on the floor and howling , clothes tearing off from his body gaining more muscle and weight
haaa! the pain was unbearable even for him
relax is not that painful I mocked
kill him , Victor the other of two rushed at me, i just dodge sideways , left and right, and kicked him back,
boom , the already turned Voldo , eyes red, with black fur ,charged at his once close comrades
"Voldo snap out of it" Voultron yelled
"he is gone , he is not himself anymore!" Voultron, said Victor , while preparing a massive mana strike against his friend, swssh! a blade of magic shot fast and wounded the lycan Voldo
howl! he shouted , but still ran at his prey and struck heavily , Victor , dodged to the side and and imbued mana in his arm and punched Voldo abdomen, Voldo took some steps back, but no visible wound, he ran at Victor once more and struck again with his claws , Voultron used his hammer imbued with mana to struck at Voldo, , boom! the hit landed , but he was struck at the same time by Voldo before the punch hit, I simply watched the fight and lost interest, and decided to live it for my useless pack while I ran towards the tower to see what kind of food those mages were preparing for me.
Ember looking at all this unfold , couldn't believe what she was seeing ,
I mean this is not an ability of the wolf, this is on an entirely different level, i had to move closer to the tower to observe that fight, who is this boy, he possess familiar and the same time an unfamiliar ability , those are something said to be perform by the wolf predecessors, can't go for now, at least let me free these prisoners, turning her head looking at the strange and malnourished people in some cell, .
The magic tower stood tall and different among every thing within the walls of the castle, in fact it the castle was just a little taller than the tower, right the four 7 circle mage surround the tower, with magic circle appearing underneath their feet, while reciting magic incantations around the tower with three of the four , their and closed very tightly as if praying to a deity , only the older one called Icras , lifting his arms up as if embracing the tower, or giving thanks to god knows what.
"he is already here, " said Icras, "lets put and end to this, at least the tower combine with us can destroy him , though it will cost us a lot " said Vinto, all men using telepathy to communicate.
all four cast cut their hands a little , with blood flowing down their hand touched the magic circle they wear standing on, dark clouds and lighting hovering around the top of the tower
"I see you guys prepared a nice dish for me" after arriving in front of the tower, I said, while looking at the cloud above
"you may have an indestructible body, though we don't know who you came to be so strong, or may be the duke have been training you in secret to be so strong, we know you have yet to use your full strength" said Icras. Feeling surprised that they caught on , but I didn't show it on my face , just looked at him, he was the one I was been wary of after all,
"you are going to die here today Dorain waldof , even though we may pay a heavy price"
haahaa haaa ha! I laughed at them and looking at them as if they were idiots,
"do you think by stalling for time a little, you think this form of mine is temporary" I mocked, though they were right , but its not to their knowledge , cause I could stay on this prime form for a month and not get exhausted, after all am different .
"is it not? " said Vinto ,
"though we are not fools, we pursue the truth of magic, so behind everything , there is a flaw and raw back, to keep everything in order" .
there goes another one of those losers quote, I mean dude , if you are about to lose simply lose, don't try to talk your way into losers victory I thought secretly , while nodding my head as if i get what he is trying to say .
"I know you guys are thirteen in total , where is the other eight" I said to them while looking at their faces
