Chapter 26 - Chapter 26

He punched the wolf on the cheek with his spiked barrier knuckle sending it reeling backwards. Blood dripped from spikes, he licked it and grinned.

So you bleed, that good, that very very good, bleeding is good, bleeding is fun, I like fun. Don't you like fun Mr wolf? Let have fun mr wolf, said a guttural childish voice.

He barely sounded or acted like his normal self it was as if a new person had taken over his body. The giant wolf growled, blood dripping from it left cheek.

They jumped at each other, he could see it, it was still faster than him but he could see it clearly. His black barriers could block all of it swipes without a scratch.

The scales had shifted, he was still slower and had less strength but his barriers made it so it could nolonger hurt him, he was the predator now. His fighting skills were still rubbish, he just swung his fist in the opponents direction but they were enough.

From a third person perspective this fight had no finesse whatsoever, it was just two beasts ripping each other apart. His punches drilled holes into the wolfs iron skin but it claws failed to meet his flesh.

He jumped backwards, no fair Mr Wolf, stop holding back, he was like a child throwing a tantrum. As if the wolf heard him, a red hazy aura rose from it. Berserk aura, he heard a woman whisper behind him.

Is that annoying pest still here? Maybe I should kill it so mr wolf and I won't be disturbed. As he turned around a claw flew to his back at supersonic speed.

He did not even have time to turn around before casting a barrier but it shattered a moment later. The claw drew three gashes on his back but it power had been reduced by the barrier.

He was sent flying towards the annoying pest. He did not even pay it any mind as he spun mid air and landed on his feet. His grin returning to his face.

He tilted his head and laughed slightly. He ran towards the wolf at blinding speed. The wolf moved, it was just simple movements and it broke the sound barrier.

Before he could react a giant maw was already before his face. He sent an uppercut hitting the wolf on it chin. It mouth closed before it could get to him.

It giant head covered in a hazy red aura rammed into him sending him flying backwards blood flying from his mouth, nose and ears, even his eyes were bleeding yet the grin never left his face.

His healing speed was getting slower, the red aura was slowing down his ability to heal himself. This should've been an issue but he just laughed more and jumped back into it.

The wolf had gotten faster than before. The red aura had increased it speed and strength by almost two times, it could move almost as twice as the speed of sound and his punched nolonger hurt it.

This made him laugh even louder, his voice grating but it somehow still had a tinge of his original voice. His usual coldness and indifference was still there in the background.

The battle continued, he was getting wounded more often now. His barriers that could handle the wolfs attacks before broke on the first hit now, shattering like glass.

His clothes were ripped apart and his skin marked with gashed dripping with fresh blood like red tattoos yet he grinned. Through the pain that would've made most men scream in agony, he grinned.

It was a terrifying sight, to see a man who looked to about on the brink of death grinning as he punched a monster larger than he was.

A man covered in so much blood one would swear he swam in a pool of it, his black coat ripped so much it looked like a beggars possession.

The fight moved closer and closer to Cathra, they had now entered the field with rods. A hexagonal shaped sealed space with an incredibly strong electrical field.

-----------------------------------------------------------

She was on the other side of this field watching their battle. As soon as they entered the field she thought about activating the spell.

Her head was throbbing, it felt like it was splitting, the spell had become too strong for her to hold, the amount of lightning that had gathered in the clouds above them was a lot.

The air itself had become electric, even the rain drops had electricity in them, enough to shock a normal human to the point of blacking out. The temperature in the surrounding had even risen.

She was struggling, not knowing whether to use it now or wait, if she used it she would hit Clark as well. Even though she had only known him for a while, few days to be exact, she was not the type of trash that would easily disregard the lives of her comrades.

However she also had to consider her other party members, she does not care about Victor actually but if he dies so will her family and she could not let that happen.

She steeled her heart, her eyes turned cold and lifeless like Clarks usual eyes but it was all a facade, sadness was still visible beneath that cold mask she wore.

I'm sorry Clark, I truly am, she whispered in a soft voice filled with sadness. Lord of the sky and storms, uncontrollable beast who roam the clouds, hear the pleas of the one who whispers In mystic, rise from your slumber and Smite my foe, in the name of "The Orphan of Spirits" I seek the power of "Noor of the storms"

The lighting in the clouds became active as she was chanting, it gathered forming a shape of something, by the time her chant had ended a beast of lightning appeared above them.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Noel was having fun with this wolf but the electrified atmosphere was slowing down their movements, he was just about to get out of this area when he heard the pest behind whisper in a language he does not understand.

It was irritating but the more it talked the more electrified the surroundings became, this made him curious. He shifted his attention away from wolf and that almost cost him his neck.

Just as he was about to move the whispers stopped. He looked up and a bird was there. A huge bird made of lightning, it was even larger than the wolf before him.

It looked down on them with arrogance and that pissed him off, how dare a mere creature of elements look down on him. He roared to the sky in anger and the bird fell.

It was as fast as natural lightning, with his speed there was no way he could dodge it but he had no intentions to. The bird did not attack him though, it was still looking down on him.

He was angry, he was absolutely fuming from this disregard. The bird landed on top of the wolf and he watched the creature scream in agony and rage but it could not match his wrath, that should've been him.

He should've been the one facing this beast, a new emotion, one even his normal self did not understand sprouted inside him. It was envy if he remembers correctly.

He wanted something, something that belongs to others, he wanted the chance to face this creature of the sky so he took it, he, "a name appeared in his head" the Dark Prince takes what he want. He jumped straight to the lightning storm with his hand outstretched.

He grabbed the lightning but that was a huge mistake, within a few seconds his right arm below the elbow was gone, the pain he felt was incredible, he wanted more but before he could move any further.

Something else took over, his eyes became normal, the grey and red shades disappeared and he jumped 10 metres backwards.

An explosion followed,barrier after barrier appeared around him and the flames and lighting came like a wave devouring him whole.
