Chapter 113 Primordial Horned Wolf.
Chapter 113 Primordial Horned Wolf.
"It is moving strangely…"
"Why is he not attacking further?"
"I do not know…"
"It is as if…"
"As if it is waiting for something."
"Wait, don't tell me it is here with its allies."
"No, Primordial Horned Wolf doesn't have any allies.
It is the sole ruler like a beast."
"Then what is it waiting for?"
"I do not know."
The two demons turned silent as they glanced at the 30 meters huge black-furred wolf, there were golden designs all over its body and a big golden-coloured horn on its head. Similar to its horn, it had golden-coloured eyes as well, which made it look quite intimidating.
The aura it released was dominant and suppressed many beings around it.
The two demons who were lurking and observing the Wolf were the demons who had the [Invisible] Ability.
Clear from its name, the ability helps them in scouting.
"We should return and report it to the Leaders."
"Alright."
The two demons nodded and left the area.
An hour later, the two of them appeared inside their base, where a huge army was formed, ready to take on the dangerous beast.
"Leaders." The demons bowed.
"Report."
"Leader, the Wolf isn't moving. It is just sitting there without doing anything."
"Huh?" The Demon Leader frowned.
"Yes, it is as if the wolf is waiting for someone. I think it might be its friend." The demon answered.
"It is not waiting for a friend." Suddenly, Azriel spoke.
Everyone turned towards him and frowned,
"Who is it waiting for then?" Dagahra questioned.
"It is waiting for us."
Azriel revealed.
"Huh? For us?" Now the Union members were even more confused.
"Yes, that Beast has been sitting there for 5 days now without attacking us.
It could have easily attacked us when we were preparing our army, however, it did not. Rather it waited for us instead.
He killed our army when he arrived there, so we can be sure that it isn't here for peace.
The only other reason it would do something like this is that it is confident."
"Confident?"
"Yes, Confident in destroying us no matter what we do.
It is most probably waiting for us so that we can prepare and fight and entertain it."
Azriel's eyes turned cold.
The other Union Leaders had the same expression.
"What are we waiting for then? Let's march and kill that stupid beast!" Dagahra, as a proud dragon roared in anger.
The other Union members' eyes burned in anger as well.
This was the biggest loss the Union has ever taken, they all were angry and wanted to avenge their kin.
Yes, the Primordial Horned Wolf destroyed the army that fought against the beasts and took their territory.
No one survived.
The Union Leaders looked at each other and then, they nodded their heads.
With perfect synchronization, all of them raised their hands and,
"Charge."
They ordered.
*Rumble* *Rumble* *Rumble*
The army marched and since it was a large army, reaching their destination took time. Combining it with the rest they had, it took 8 hours to appear in front of the Wolf.
Seeing the huge army in front of it, the Wolf grinned and then it stood up.
Azriel's eyes turned cold when he saw that wolf,
"You shouldn't have given us time to prepare, Beast.
Not that it would have changed today's result." Azriel muttered.
"Indeed, prepared or not, it wouldn't have changed today's result." Then, everyone heard a hoarse voice and their eyes widened in surprise.
The wolf could speak!
It was talking to them using the language they created!
"You can speak?" Azriel frowned.
"What? You think you are the only intelligent race here?" The Wolf chuckled.
"How did you learn our language then?" The Demon Leader questioned.
"Don't ask something so obvious, you sent around 70 people to spy on me when I was here, those people talking with each other was enough for me to learn your language."
The Union Members' eyes widened in surprise.
"You could learn the language that quickly?"
"N-No… this shouldn't be possible… Even we needed years to master it…"
As if hearing what they were talking about, Wolf's eyes turned cold and he snorted.
"Don't compare me with the likes of yourselves, pests.
I am far stronger and more intelligent than you."
The wolf raised his head in pride.
"You guys… we are missing something here…" Suddenly, a demon muttered.
"What?" A human questioned.
"T-That bastard knew that we were spying on him…" The demon muttered and again, the whole Union army was shocked.
"Not only that, but he could even hear all of us…"
"T-Then why didn't he attack us?"
"Silence."
The Union members talked with each other and started panicking, however, soon, they heard Azriel's stern voice and then they turned silent.
However, Azriel's words had no effect on the wolf, he simply turned toward the Lion kin Leader.
"Heh. To think you will take that weak form." The wolf chuckled when he saw the Lion Kin in his human-like form.
"…"
The Lion Kin turned silent.
"You left us because you think you were different from us? Did you think that all the beasts only moved on instincts?
Heh. Let me open your eyes, pest.
Look, look and see, we Beasts are far more intelligent than the races in this 'Union' you speak off.
You were just too weak to meet us."
The wolf's eyes shone brightly.
"We are different." The Lion Kin did not back away and muttered with a calm look on his face.
"Huh?"
"You were born with strength, with everything under your feet.
However, we got stronger with time.
We grew, while you,
You are still stuck where you were before.
That is the difference between us.
You may be intelligent, however, in the end, you are just a slightly better Beast."
The Wolf's eyes turned cold.
A smile appeared on Azriel's face as he stepped forward,
"Indeed.
I can feel that your strength is still the same as 1000 years back.
Sikara is right, in the end, you are just slightly better than a beast.
And beasts,"
A big smile appeared on Azriel's face,
"Are born to be hunted."
"YEAAHHH!!!"
The Union army cheered and then, they rushed towards the Wolf.
Humans used swords and attacked, some humans placed weapons made by dwarves near the wolf, Demons and Elves attacked with magic.
The Dragons defended.
The Beastmen had already transformed into their Beast form and were dealing damages to the Wolf.
All this while, the Union Leaders didn't move.
They just stood there and looked at everything with cold looks on their faces.
The previous army that the wolf defeated only had around 300 men, this time, however, it was 10 times that amount.
The previous army was tired after fighting for hours, these people were actively attacking it, although the damage wasn't very high, with so many people attacking at the same time, the wolf was at disadvantage.
"Roaaaarrrr!!"
The wolf roared in rage.
It moved its pawed in anger and although the dragons were defending against the attack, 5-10 soldiers died.
However, it didn't matter.
The soldiers continued attacking without stopping.
"RRROOOAARRR!!"
The Wolf howled.
*Rumble* *Rumble* *Rumble*
Suddenly, Azriel and the other union members heard a sound, they looked around and noticed that the beasts that were forced out of the territory were rushing towards them.
No, they were not called by the Wolf.
He came here alone.
Those beasts just saw this as the perfect chance to reclaim their territory.
"This could be bad…" Dagahra muttered.
"I guess we would have to step in," Azriel muttered.
He then rose in the air and ordered,
"Soldiers!
Those beasts are coming back, defend and kill them all!
As for this beast,
We will take care of him."
Azriel roared and then, he dashed towards the Wolf.
Then he appeared in front of his face, a dagger then appeared in his hand and he tried to pierce it in his eyes.
The Wolf, however, wouldn't let that happen, it simply shifted its face and Azriel's dagger merely grazed its cheek.
However, Azriel didn't care.
He suddenly turned into Blood Mist and appeared on the ground.
The wolf tried to look for him, however, he felt immense heat above him, raising his head, he noticed that the Dagahra has already shot his fiery flames towards him.
The Wolf moved and dodged the attack, or so he wanted to. However, thick wines shot out of the ground and rolled around his legs, tying him in the same place.
The Wolf noticed the Elves that were using its magic to restrain it.
Demons were also dealing damage with their unique abilities.
The Union Leaders' teamwork was simply unbeatable.
It was as if they would be able to deal with practically anything as long as they are together.
The wolf stood no chance against them.
The wolf may be a lot stronger, sturdier and faster than all of them, however, with those 50 Leaders handling him together, they were able to hold him off.
Yes, even after this huge numerical advantage, they were only able to hold him off.
They still couldn't defeat it.
Of course, it didn't really matter.
All they had to do was to wait till their soldiers are done fighting against those beasts, then, they would defeat this wolf together.
This battle was as good as over.
