Silent Crown

Chapter 380 Wolf

Chapter 380 Wolf

"Yezi, stand behind me. Let me kill these failures first!" Wolf Flute rolled up his sleeves and suddenly joined the fighting. Behind him, the silver shadow flashed constantly. It transformed into a shooting beam of light that swept a melody of wind and sand. With its speed, it could travel thousands of miles in an instant.

The body of the translucent silver wolf was like smoke. It would disappear under a slight breeze. However, it ripped off a large chunk of flesh from the musicians whenever it appeared. When it closed its teeth, it was filled with undisputable beastly aggression. It did not come from a man's wild thoughts. The wounds it created was only secondary. The biggest concern was that whenever it gnashed its teeth, everything around it would be shattered.

Demonic flesh was chewed!

Mutated organs were chewed!

The dark music score was chewed!

The abyss music theory was chewed!

The silver wolf's beastliness contained a strange music theory. The damages it created could not be recovered as if it was forever gone. It was terrifying. The dark musicians subconsciously scooted deeper into the dark atrium.

The musicians from the abyss instantly fell back.

With Wolf Flute's scepter, the grandmasters fought even more fiercely. They were even able to surround the musicians within the dark atrium.

However, Crowley who had been quietly observing now looked up with a strange smile. "That's it?" He reached out. Layers of music scores lit up on the Garment of Original Sin. The dark atrium shifted and a black cubic enchantment appeared out of thin air. The cube closed in, swallowing the silver wolf, and spun wildly.

With a flash of light, the silver wolf jumped out of the cube. However, when it jumped again, it realized that it was still inside the enchantment. Under everyone's eyes, the strange black cube caved in and contracted. Then another cube appeared outside it. In an instant, it doubled, tripled, quadrupled, octupled, sexdecupled…it endlessly caved in and regrew.

Before composing a symphony of predestination, a musician must go through a completion stage. During this stage, he would learn the basic theories of all schools in addition to his own to complete his shortcomings. However, Crowley's attainment of Abstinence was far beyond Ye Qingxuan's expectations.

The compound enchantment of sixteen layers was a masterpiece and top skill even in the 'territory path.' In addition, he was inside the dark atrium and was supported by the Garment of Original Sin!

The silver wolf continued to jump inside the cube to avoid being destroyed by the collapsing enchantment. However, it could not escape.

Wolf Flute's expression stiffened.

So what if the beast could jump freely through the material world like a wind tunnel? As long as it could 'jump' faster, all of the wolf's destructive power could only be wasted on endless jumping.

Wolf Flute furrowed his brows. He let go of the scepter's power and the silver wolf disappeared. It re-appeared beside him. This time, he did not order it into the dark atrium.

"So that's your scepter? I've never seen such a weak one before." Crowley peered over amidst the wild melody. "Even though we're both at the scepter level, there is still a difference! You think you're qualified to defeat me?"

"Mr. Cowley, isn't that a fact?" Wolf Flute looked at him with pity. "There's a difference between those who break through the Barrier of Knowledge by themselves and the cowards who beg gods. There's also a considerable difference between self-made scepter musicians and fakes like you who need objects like the Garment of Original Sin to reach the scepter level. Don't you think so?"

"You are overreaching!" The dark atrium shook. Piercing bloody light flashed in Crowley's eyes. "Then let us see!"

Instantly, the dark atrium that everyone thought had been restricted now expanded suddenly. It combined with the scepter from the Garment and stirred a storm in the aether sea. It instantly swallowed everyone.

Wolf Flute furrowed his brows. Silver light snaked around him and tore the darkness apart. However, the grandmasters had already disappeared. He flashed and reappeared. But the darkness was still around him. There was layer after layer, dimension after dimension.

If he jumped across an enchantment, there would be another one. If he passed through the dark atrium, there would be another one… It was as if he had walked into a kaleidoscope and was lost in the endless darkness.

Now, everyone was separated under the dark atrium. They were all fighting for themselves. However, Wolf Flute was imprisoned in the depths of the dark atrium alone.

It would be so easy for Crowley and the abyss musicians to destroy his helpers and then kill Wolf Flute. His expression darkened. But he quickly smiled in pleasant surprise. "You're here!"

The melody of wind and sad sounded. The silver wolf pounced and transformed into a beam of light with him. They followed the darkness and shot forward. Their tracks were very strange. Sometimes, they would turn; other times, they went straight or even retreat.

After hundreds of turns, he gathered his energy and burst through the enchantment! Then he saw what the darkness had hid.

The abyss music score rumbled and Crowley cackled crazily. A dim moon managed to rise under the smile but it was quickly pushed down by the dark atrium. The moonlight disappeared completely before it even fully appeared.

Ye Qingxuan spat out a mouthful of blood. The sub-originator within him dimmed.

The Garment had transformed into a quagmire that swallowed him bit by hit. He could do nothing about it. Isolated within the four-fold enchantment, destroying a musician was easier than drinking water for a Scepter level man! But unfortunately, no one would think about his surroundings when drinking…

Wolf Flute smiled. "Your vertebrate is pretty nice." He poked out of the air and caressed Crowley's neck. He grinned. "It's great for teething!"

The man's expression changed instantly. He charged forward but the silver light followed him closely. The wolf gnashed its teeth and tore a hole through Crowley's chest.

If not for the Garment's automatic protection, he would have been hacked apart by now! Even so, he had been still been wounded. Strange silver hair grew around the injury, messing with his internal organs. Half of his body was contaminated, turning him into a werewolf.

It was the beastly nature's encroachment!

However, the intangible beastly nature was incredibly thick. It seemed to have combined the wildness of a pack of wolves and transformed into a poison! Crowley dodged quickly and the Garment covered his twisted body. After terrifying sounds of scraping bones, blood sprayed but his body recovered.

What truly injured him though was the music theory that had entered his body. Coming from the School of Summoning, it was detailed and complex. It spread the moment it entered his body, wrapping around his muscles to transform him into a wolf.

Like a starved wolf pack charging into a city, it lapped up blood aggressively. The music theory seemed to be alive. Spirited yet cunning, it turned his body into a battlefield.

Crowley had no time to act methodically. He could only use the most violent method and destroy both his own music theory and the enemy's using the Garment's power.

It was like burning an entire village to kill the wolves. The wolf poison was gone but his body was still damaged. He could not recover unless he reconstructed the abyss music theory.

As the Garment recoiled, Ye Qingxuan struggled out. Panting, he glared at Wolf Flute. "You're so slow!"

"Your hints were too vague. I didn't even discover…" Chortling, Wolf Flute looked at his waist. There, he saw an undetectable thread of light. It was the perception thread made from moonlight. The source was gripped in Ye Qingxuan's hands. Wolf Flute had followed this thread.

Ye Qingxuan had cast these threads to help with Wolf Flute's attack but it had unexpectedly saved his life.

"We meet again, Mr. Crowley." Wolf Flute looked back at his enemy. "How about we decide the winner now?"

"I see now…no wonder you don't feel the backlash of the beastly nature…" Under the cracked sound, Crowley vomited blood. Looking at Wolf Flute, his bloodshot eyes filled with understanding. "The transformation…between human and beastly nature…You fused your humanity with the beastly nature! The scepter isn't with your human part but with the beast…You turned yourself into a demon!"

"No, no, no. You've misunderstood again. I didn't turn myself into a demon…" Wolf Flute smiled but it was incredibly evil. His green eyes seemed to glow like a demon ripping apart his disguise. "I turned myself into a human!"

For a moment, Ye Qingxuan had a hallucination. In his daze, wind and yellow sand swept over a barren land. Under the cold moonlight, Wolf Flute grew tall but his back hunched. He grasped a gold cane and a scale; he was clad in white clothing and green gold. Under his grave crown was an indisputable jackal head!

This was the god from Theban myths, the existence who guided the dead to the Underworld, the king who judged one's sins, the god who represented death and eternal peace!

"Anubis…" Ye Qingxuan gasped.

Wolf Flute lifted his nail and played it with his eyes closed. Blazing wind blew from the desert. Howling sounded in the distance.

The melody's theme was no longer cold moonlight or burning sand. The hot wind and barren land were all changing under the howls.

The wolves had arrived.
