Blasting through the air like a beam of Night, my gaze scanned over the various monsters that consumed this eerie forest. With a heavy mist that seems to captivate my vision, my soul fused deep into the darkness allowing me to perceive everything with far better clarity than my eyes.
Narrowing my gaze, my feet came to a standstill as I stood still on top of light particles. Feeling a few presences around me, a curious gleam filled me as I stared a few kilometers away.
"What is that?" I whispered to myself, drawing a little closer as the chilling air blew across me. Staring down at the rather large monstrosity similar to a snow-white wolf, yet with bloodied bones akin to large scythes protruding from its joint.
With a cultivation of a powerful aura of a peak Heavenly ranked realm, I observed its movement. Studying how each of its steps would create a small pool of blood below its feet. Consumed with a vengeful aura, I could not help but be impressed as it shot me a deep stare.
Releasing a savage growl of warning, I smiled, pointing off into the distance, "You should worry about them, little wolf."
"Alvin, it's here" A loud feminine voice echoed out of my ear as the Bone Wolf shot the intruders an icy stare.
Stepping out of the bushes, a cold light filled the Bones wolf eyes as it released a powerful howl creating a massive shockwave.
Laughing, a man with long ruby red-colored hair stepped forward, "So it is, a Half-Blood Wolf! Manificent, it seems our hunt is finally turning around. Especially after that slaughter created by that bastard Arsene Snow!"
"Alvin, please stop talking about that monster! Can you believe many call him the Ashen Demon? He is just a murderous bastard!" A rather plain-looking woman commented, trying to hurt my feelings.
Rolling my eyes, I sighed, "it's not my fault those idiots thought they could control this forest. I go where I please. Although why they call me the Ashen Demon is a mystery. All I did was kill an entire clan or two."
Landing under the veil of my darkness, I took a seat watching as Alvin, along with his posse of women, drew their weapons.
Fixing his gauntlets, as I saw so many times in some animes, I could not help but laugh. Suddenly a burst of powerful crimson qi overflowed from his body as all the young ladies did the same—all of them being around the stages of Spirit.
Shotting off the grassy forest, Alvin's body exploded into a mist of blood appearing before the Half-Blood Wolf stabbing his hand like a knife towards the beast with vicious intent.
However, the Half-BLood Wolf's body suddenly began to pulse with Heavenly Energy. Easily weaving through Alvin's attack, I watched as the wolf opened its mouth.
Opening his eyes wide, Alvin roared as a massive amount of blood qi covered his body while the girls in the back pointed at him. Suddenly a bloodied armor plate swallowed him whole as a crimson misty blast exploded out.
"WEEEEE!!!!" I screamed, holding on to the branch as I struggled to hold on from the massive shockwave. Clinging to the branch and onto my mask, I laughed at the power.
Watching as the debris cleared, Alvin began to cough blood as he glared at the beast. However, the Half Blooded Wolf would not wait as a crimson arch of its tail swept towards Alvin like a beam of light.
With sweat and blood flowing like streams, Alvin quivered, watching death approached when ten spells suddenly began to rain over the wolf causing its attack to miss. With a roar, the wolf dodged howling as I could feel multiple creatures moving to its location.
"Alvin, get some distance. Use circles. We cannot win in a close quarter battle like this!!!"
Observing its power, the Half-Blood Wolf shot me a side glance causing me to frown, "There is intelligence within its eyes. How interesting,"
Rising up from my tree branch, the echoes of thunder showered the forest of Melimiota. Flashing upon the scene, my gaze turned to sin.
<Arcane Gale>
Suddenly a deep mist consumed the area as Alvin, along with his harem, turned to mist. Shooting the wolf a look, I smiled, "Can you talk?"
"You speak the tongue of the Beast?" The Half-Blood Wolf asked in a deep yet surprised tone. Its mouth did not move, but its words still echoed out.
Humming in a rather interested tone, my grip around Dragonsbane grew tighter as I placed it upon my shoulder. " I do, but it's quite interesting to see such a powerful wolf and an intelligent one. Tell me, what is your name?"
Hearing a deep growl, I didn't feel the least bit threatened as his word filled my ears. "I am Selgro, and you humans are in my territory!"
Releasing a smirk, I shook my head, "Territory? I was led to believe The Forest of Melimiota belongs to the Blooded Association, but please do prove me wrong. What will you do about it?"
"AHOOOOO" Howling, a mist of blood began to consume the both of us in a sphere of crimson as a cold light filled the Half-Blood Wolf eyes. "Than I will kill you, human."
Shaking my head, Selgro's teeth began to salivate as the amusement within my gaze began to grow even stronger.
"ARSENE SNOW!!!! YOU BASTARD!!!"
Suddenly a massive amount of sword force began to consume the air as it split the blood sphere in half, heading towards me at an impeccable paste.
Leaping away, I shot a deep look towards the nascent soul hovering in the skies of Melimiota with a deep vicious light. Tears could be seen within his eyes as I frowned in irritation.
"Can you stop following me!!!" I yelled in an annoyed tone as his longsword began to pulse with a powerful sword force. "Fuck, all it did was kill your daughter and her children. It's not like I fucked her!"
"You bastard!!!" he screamed as I felt the air around me tremble. "She was innocent, every last one of us was innocent, and you killed them. For what! Why did you kill them!!! Answer me, you demon!!" he bellowed in rage, his body trembling as blood began to leak from his lips. A deep, mournful aura was all but visible within his sights as he struggled to hover in the air.
Feeling a little honored, I shrugged, "Let's see, when I first arrive, one of the members of the Blooded association tried to rob and kill me. So I killed him, and more and more kept coming. Getting annoyed, I went on a killing spree... That's it. She just happened to be in the crossfire! She was quite a strong gate of truth. I even had to break my rule not to use my body cultivation. Her children, however, were rather disappointing."
Breathing heavily, Bjorg grew pale as a sheet as I nodded, "Personally, that's not on me. Maybe as an elder of a small sect like this, you should manage them better."
"You're a bloody monster!!!" Bjorg screamed as his qi began to grow even more prominent. Losing my early interest in Selgro, I sighed,
"Little wolf looks like we may need to hold off on our battle." I annoyingly state as a veil of darkness began to pulse off my body. Fusing the intent of Light, Lightning, illusion, and wind, my body, suddenly began to bend and twist as three clones of myself appear bolting off in various directions.
"DIE!!!!!" Bjorg screamed in a vengeful tone as a massive wave of sword qi flooded the forest of Melimiota.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!
Hearing the strike after strick cold sweat consumed my back as I didn't dear stop. I had tried to battle Bjorg, and that shit was impossible. I got my ass kick so bad it was humiliating. Were it not for the darkness and the Teleportation rune; I would have died. Although had I used the Flames of Hellfire. I could have won.
"There is no fighting a Nascent soul; it is far outside my range right now. The speed, power, comprehension is not something I can contest against with just technique and Soulforce, but I am close."
