Chapter 760 Dangerous Battle, Liara's Shocking Actions

'It's strong, but I can take it down!' Reign thought with a smile before he kicked the ground and launched himself forward.

He quickly lowered his body and extended one leg, sliding down and dodging another claw before he used his two swords to cut the legs of the werewolf.

'Hmmm, this one is weak to light.' Reign thought as he glanced at the wounds he had inflicted on the werewolf. The sword that was coated with darkness had made a cut that was a bit shallow, and Reign had felt how it was harder for the sword to cut through the fur, while the one coated in light had no such difficulty and managed to cut deeper with fewer issues.

Suddenly, his black sword got coated in light as well, which made the werewolf narrow its eyes as it stared at Reign with anger, but apprehension as well.

"Let's see how tough that fur really is, you damn mutt." Reign said as he charged forward again before suddenly throwing one of his swords at the werewolf, which the latter easily dodged before kicking off the wall and lunging at Reign with full force.

Reign swiftly ducked under the werewolf and cut him from below before turning around and facing him. The sword he had thrown disappeared before appearing in his hand again. Reign quickly coated in with his light before throwing it again and charging at the werewolf that was getting really annoyed by what Reign was doing.

It suddenly used its arms to strike the ground with the palms of its claws as it pulled its legs up, making the knees go up to the chest before it lunged forward and suddenly extended the legs, which also had sharp claws on them, at Reign.

Reign's eyes widened as he quickly placed his sword forward to block the strike. He was successful in blocking it, but the powerful force behind the attack sent him flying back. Just as the werewolf was about to charge forward, it suddenly flinched before it screamed in pain as the sword Reign had previously thrown away penetrated it from behind.

The werewolf roared in pain and anger as it tried to get the sword out, but Reign had made sure that the sword would stab it right in the middle of its back, making it almost impossible for the werewolf to do so.

Unfortunately, Reign didn't think the arms of the werewolf, as well as its entire body, were as flexible as they were. The werewolf was able to quickly reach back and grab the sword before throwing it at Reign.

The sword zoomed through the air and stopped right in front of Reign who used the sword aura to stop it before staring at the werewolf.

'A Tier V is a Tier V after all, even a weak Tier V like this guy is still incredibly dangerous to me if it had all of its powers, I definitely wouldn't be its match.' Reign thought as the werewolf suddenly screamed again as a small spear that Reign had made of souls suddenly stabbed it.

He had made a small one that wasn't very noticeable in order to attack the werewolf when the latter was least expecting it. His plan was to stab with his sword, then stab with the spear, which would have broken the werewolf's focus, making it easier for Reign to use the sword aura to force the sword to go deeper, but that didn't work as well as he had hoped.

'Seems like it'll take some more time for me to take it down, I wonder how the others are doing so far.' Reign thought before glancing at the others during this rare pause that was made in the battle.

Siggurd and Basred were still fighting their opponents and were obviously the ones that were winning, which was what Reign had expected, but when he looked at the werewolf that was fighting against Liara and the rest of the group, he suddenly widened his eyes.

Everybody was fine, nobody was tired or injured, and the werewolf was simply standing in front of them, doing nothing.

Liara was right in front of the werewolf, she was looking at him, and slowly, she brought her arm forward, petting its head.

'What the hell?!' Reign thought before he quickly jumped to the side as the werewolf he was fighting against appeared in front of him, smashing down with its claw and hitting the ground, causing it to crack.

'She tamed it?!'

'That's impossible, they're not real creatures, they don't possess a real soul, they're artificially made by the artifact to defend it, to battle against those that came here, how the hell did she do that?' Reign thought as he dodged another attack before swinging his swords, cutting some fur and flesh of the werewolf that was enraged by the wounds Reign had inflicted upon it.

"I think I know." Aethion suddenly said in a calm voice.

'Then say it quickly!' Reign thought as he was suddenly heavily pressured by the werewolf that suddenly stopped caring about any injuries it would receive and was attacking him fiercely.

"When you got here, I felt the fragments suddenly act differently, I thought it was because the artifact was now close, allowing them to sense it, but what if they weren't acting because of the artifact, but the monsters?"

"Liara might have managed to make the werewolf stop attacking because she has the fragments in her soul, maybe you can do the same, but we would need to remove the seals from the fragments and allow them to be felt by the werewolf, I think it's worth trying it."

'Alright, do it.' Reign said without thinking too much as he had full confidence that he and Aethion would be able to seal the fragments again if something weird was to happen.

Aethion merely nodded his head before he stopped controlling the soul spears that were still flying around, attacking the werewolves.

They had done plenty already and made it much easier for Siggurd and Basred to deal with the werewolves, so stopping them wouldn't put them at a disadvantage now.

He stared at the fragments that were covered by many chains that had inscriptions on them. He and Reign had done it the last time when the souls inside the prison tried to take the fragments. They made the inscriptions as they further reinforced the chains, completely sealing the fragments and not letting anything take them away.

Slowly but surely, the inscriptions were wiped away and the chains started falling down one by one as Aethion started undoing the seals. It was actually much faster and easier to place the seals than to remove them as one needed to do it in the correct sequence, otherwise, the seals would react badly, further reinforcing the entire thing and making it even more difficult to remove them.

Reign was still fighting against the werewolf, well, he was mostly dodging the attacks, only attacking on rare occasions when he was certain the werewolf wouldn't be able to strike him back.

Liara had tried going to him in order to help him out, but Reign stopped her. He was not in grave danger yet, and he wanted to see what would happen if he used the fragments, he wanted to see if he could do the same as Liara and make the monster tame.

She merely nodded at him and made her way over to Basred and Siggurd.

If they could use the soul fragments to make the monsters tame, then the next layers would prove to be easy for them. Without the monsters attacking them, they could simply walk through the layers without spending any mana, soul power, or stamina.

'How much longer?' Reign asked Aethion who was only halfway done.

"About 30 more seconds."

Reign clenched his teeth as he was hit from the side. He managed to place on sword there to block, but the claws of the werewolf went around and managed to penetrate through his armor, making a couple of small stab wounds on Reign's side.

He quickly used his light manipulation to heal himself before staring at the werewolf whose body was half-covered by blood. Of course, to such a large monster, that amount of blood was nothing life-threatening, it didn't even manage to slow the monster down.

It was still as aggressive as before and was relentlessly charging and attacking Reign in its anger, not stopping for an instant.

"Almost done, get ready kid," Aethion told Reign who nodded his head before throwing both his swords forward and immediately using his sword aura to control them, making them attack the werewolf that still continued charging at him.

The werewolf only stopped and jumped to the side when Reign tried to attack its eyes with the swords, which was just what he wanted.

"Done!" Aethion said, and Reign quickly looked inside his consciousness, staring straight at the soul fragments that were now shining brightly.

Reign allowed the soul fragments to envelop his own soul in their brightness, which suddenly caused the werewolf to stop and stare at him.
