Ethan stared at the hundreds upon hundreds of shadow beast that had now surrounded him. Why the fuck did it have to be him of all people. One beast was difficult enough, now he had to find a way past hundreds. Author, just kill me right now.
" Ethan, you don't have any other choice, you have to fight. It's either that or die," Amon said with a solemn voice, as his heart pounded with a bit of fear.
If it was when he was at his peak, he wouldn't have been faxed a bit by this amount of shadow beast, but now his life was hanging in the hands of a human who just awakened his abilities. Even though his abilities are a bit strange and mysterious, he had no choice but to help him so as to stay alive.
He used to be a god, how could it all have come to this? Did the Universe really want to eradicate him from the face of existence forever?!
" But I won't be able to beat all of these beasts," Ethan said with a solemn voice, and if you listened closer, there was a hint of fear in his voice.
" Ethan, don't be scared, I have faith in you. There's no way this is where your journey will end, it's just the beginning," Amon said in a supportive and fearless tone. But right up in his mind, he was screaming like a baby. Sigh! How much a god had fallen.
Hearing Amon's supportive words, Ethan's exppression became as steeled as that of a well-trained soldier, unfazed by everything the world threw at him.
His eyes suddenly glowed red again, as he summoned all the blood spears he had left behind.
Feeling the call of their creator, the blood spears flew off the ground and headed in the direction of where Ethan was located.
Immediately the spears arrived, Ethan grabbed one and used his superior strength to break the crystalized blood spears. Then he willed for the halves to break down and become daggers.
Ethan grabbed on to his newly made daggers with a fearsome look which made some of the shadow beast take a few step back.
Ethan then sliced through the air and ran towards the horde of shadows. Immediately, he began slicing through them one by one, as he willed for the remaining blood spears to fly off and begin to cut down the shadows.
The battle was intense for Ethan used every single bit of will power he could summon to both concentrate on his battle and at the same time control the blood spears to begin killing the other shadow beasts.
At the moment, Ethan was using a lot of will power while at the same time making sure not to lose focus, for in a battle like this, if he loses even a second of focus, he might just get his head clawed off.
Rooaahharr!!
The shadow beast tried their best to land a hit on Ethan but every time they would either miss by a second, or they would be too late and Ethan would have sliced them into pieces.
He was just too quick. And unknowingly, his eyes would occasionally change to violet, giving Ethan the ability of seeing the creatures nect move.
Violet.
Red
Violet.
Red.
Ethan's eyes just kept on changing until they finally stopped going on and off and merged into one.
As the battle waged on, Ethan's eyes finally picked a stable colour and that colour is Magenta!!
An eye colour that had not been heard off to be a part of the werewolf beast heirachy. This is the first time in millions of years that a new rank had been born. With Ethan fighting for his dear no longer worthless life, he was completely unaware of the changes his eyes had affected for his once regular future.
....
" Ethan! Ethan! Where are you," After leaving the house without finding Ethan's walking shoes, Ella returned back to where she left Ethan, but after not finding him there, she decided to walk a bit deeper into the forest, hoping to find him.
According to hikers and a few geologist, this forest wasn't really dangerous. The most dangerous animal found in this forest was a deer, so she felt it was okay to walk a bit deeper in.
But even after walking for twenty while minutes, she still hadn't spotted him. Then an hour passed and she begun to get worried.
What if a wild animal had suddenly appeared in the forest, and Ethan might have been it's pretty?
She knew Ethan wasn't strong enough to lift up a whole bucket of water without any difficulties, so there was no way he would have been able to survive an attack from a wild animal.
She thought about turning tails and run, but the possibility of Ethan still alive and struggling with a wild animal was high in her heart. She also didn't want to believe that he was dead.
So she continued going deeper into the forest, hoping to find a sign of Ethan's whereabouts.
As she kept on walking, she suddenly heard the roar of a beast. It sounded like it was dying, and not just any kind of death, like it was being killed in an agonizing manner.
Immediately she turned around and began walking in another direction.
" You dirty little brat! If I find you, you're definitely dead!" Ella cursed in her heart deeply, but at the same time, she hoped he was alright.
She then suddenly heard the roaring of mltiple beast, making her legs shake in fright. I thought this forest was harmless.
After a few more seconds, she heard wooshing sounds above her. Intrigued, she looked up, and what she saw immediately made her feel like she was going crazy.
Long, sharp-looking blood red crystalized spears were flying off the ground and headed in the direction of where the multiple roars we're coming from.
For some reason, curiosity began to cloud her mind and heart, making her to follow the spears, while inadvertently heading in the direction of the shadow beasts.
After arriving at where the spears were going, Ella held her breath in shock.
Her eyes were being revealed to a horde of strange creatures made out of shadows. Like the ones you would only see in horror based fantasy movies.
But what truly shocked her to the core was realizing that they were surrounding one person, and for God sake why did she had to know the person?!
It was the same person she was swearing against a few minutes ago. The same person that made her come so deep into the forest.
It was Ethan!!
He was completely surrounding by those beast, but when she saw that those blood spears she followed were actually being commanded by Ethan, she almost fainted due to fright.
Then, as Ethan fought through the horde of shadows, one of them found an opportunity and slashed it's claws at Ethan's neck, but luckily enough, Ethan was able to evade in time, and slice off the hand of the shadow beast.
But then he realized that the clsmaws of the shadow beast had actually grazed upon his skin, making blood to seep out of the cut and getting Ethan distracted.
Seeing he was distracted, the shadows launched many attacks all at once, but it was almost as if Ethan was anticipating all of it. He dodged them all like a slippery fish swimming skillfully in the water.
"Ethan!"
As Ella saw Ethan's situation, she couldn't help herself but call out his name, but that Immediately got Ethan distracted, and this time, multiple attacks finally landed on him, forcing blood to begin to gush out of his wound.
Ethan ignored the pain, and scoured through the trees with his eyes, trying to spot the one who just called out his name, but it was a but difficult while trying to fight of the shadows.
After about two seconds, Ethan's gaze finally landed on Ella.
" Oh shit! What is she doing here?!"
Ethan exclaimed, but then he saw a shadow beast heading over to her.
" Ethan! You have to protect her! Protect Ella," Amon's voice rang in his ears, forcing him to rush towards her location.
