Arc 8 Chapter 144: Listen!

“This should be enough don’t you think?” asked Akira looking at the large amount of meat they had gathered that was piled up on top of several sleds.

“I could eat it all in one day…I lie! This would last me a long time,” said Chack as he hungrily stared at the meat.

“Hey, lizard brain, keep your claws away from the meat,” said Mileena as she jabbed Chack with the butt of one of the new daggers that Akira had given to her a present.

Thunk!

“Grand Elder!”

“Enemy attack!”

“Protect the grand elder!”

Akira turned to see his grandfather had fallen to the ground. There was blood slowly seeping into the snow where he had landed turning it red.

Several warriors surrounded Wulfric to protect him from any more surprise attacks.

For a moment Akira’s heart nearly stopped, but as he watched Wulfric pushed himself upright and stood back up.

“I’m fine! A small wound like this is not going to kill me. Akira, stop dawdling and take command of the situation!” growled Wulfric as he transformed into a powerful and ferocious werewolf form.

This was Akira’s first time seeing his grandfather fully transform and was surprised at how many wounds he had received from the many wars he had participated in. His fur was now a deep Grey, a far cry from his once dark black fur truly showing his age.

“Everyone! Transform and find the attackers!” shouted Akira as he started to transform as well, a black misty light covering his body.

“Nox! Come out and fight!” shouted Akira as he emerged from the mist fully transformed.

Nox jumped out of Akira’s shadow and looked around for the hidden enemies but could not find anyone.

“Che… that didn’t kill him! We wasted a lot of gold on that potion to hide our scent,” said a loud voice that wasn’t trying to hide his presence.

“That werewolf with the Black mist around him is our target! Attack him!”

Over thirty humans in various mismatched armors, carrying a wide variety of weapons, emerged from their hiding spots and charged towards Akira and the other warriors.

“I don’t know who you are but I am going to ^&*$ you with a *&^% and @#$% you until you all die! Everyone form up and kill them all!” shouted Akira.

He was extremely angry that his grandfather had been targeted and attacked by these unknown attackers.

Ding!

Potty month skill has been created!

By using vulgar and extremely rude words you will be able to intimidate and lower enemy attack power by 10% and for a short time.

All who hear your words will grow angry and attack you.

The more creative you are with your words the more effective the skill will be making the effect last longer.

“I have no clue what a *&^% is or how you would @#$% someone with it, but just hearing you talk makes me angry! Phobia let’s kill him!” shouted a man dressed in black clothes as he rushed towards Akira.

“You heard the potty mouth of that werewolf as well? Kooter you’re right, he really is asking for it!” said a female at the back of the group after she finished a long chant.

“Watch out Akira I have never heard that chant before but it sounds similar to a shaman element chant!” shouted Klyn.

“Too late you are going to die! Take this!” shouted the girl named Phobia.

Boom!

A large fireball flew towards Akira and blew up near his feet causing a decent sized crater while sending a large amount of snow into the air blocking their vision.

“Demigods!” shouted Wulfric.

Akira struggled to keep his balance as one of the people burst through the misty snow cloud and sent a red sword slash skill straight towards his neck.

He quickly raised his shield and blocked the red slash attack.

Two more demigods burst through the snow and attacked him from either side using their own skills.

Several other demigods appeared next to the others to try and kill Akira. Their skills did little damage to him but they did not give up and keep attacking him with skill after skill.

The werewolf warriors and his long time companions were in the same situation but to a lesser extent as Akira had gathered most of the enemies’ attention and anger onto himself.

Mileena seeing Akira under constant attack felt something click inside her and became aware of a skill that she never knew she had but it felt as if it was only natural for her to have such a skill.

Blink!

She disappeared in a burst of speed and reappeared right behind one of the Demigods who was furiously attacking Akira.

Using her daggers she stabbed into his unprotected back several times making him stumble towards Akira.

Akira pounced on the defenseless demigod and struck a fatal blow piercing the man through the heart.

The demigod’s body disintegrated into thousands of light particles before it hit the ground.

Mileena used her new skill [Blink] several times to help trip up the attackers allowing Akira to finish them off.

Since she was still inexperienced with the skill, it used a lot of energy. After using it several more times Mileena’s ears and tail were drooping as she panted from exhaustion next to Akira.

“Attack that cat! She’s causing too many problems!” shouted one of the demigods.

“I’m on it!” shouted Phobia the female demigod that was flinging fireballs everywhere.

Akira pulled Mileena into his embrace and covered her as several attacks came flying towards them. He placed his shield on his back and received the attacks with only his armor and thick fur as protection, receiving several minor burns and small cuts.

Ding!

+2 Toughness

Akira ignored the pain and let go of Mileena and turned around before using the skill [Shield Slam].

He hurtled at an alarming speed towards the few demigods at the rear constantly throwing explosive attacks at the warriors.

Several demigods tried to block his path but received serious wounds as they were knocked out of his way and thrown onto the ground.

Those wounded by the charge were immediately pounced upon by the werewolf warriors ending their lives before they could stand back up.

Bam!

Akira slammed into his main target, the female magic skill user interrupting her chant and knocking her into the air.

Her low health plummeted to rock bottom and she disappeared in a bright burst of particles without him having to use a second attack.

Using his momentum he swirled around and used the skill [Sword slash] aiming it at another lightly protected magic skill users causing a second female demigod to disappear as her head was separated from her body.

Nox was running amok tearing into the demigod’s lightly protected legs allowing the warriors to easily execute them.

Akira reached the last magic skill user that was hiding at the back and cut them in half with one swing of his sword starting from his head and ending at his toes.

Akira continued using his various skills and killed anyone he could reach.

The demigods were disappearing one after another.

The fight soon ended just as quickly as it had started with the complete extermination of the demigods. All thanks to Akira plowing through the enemies and clearing out the people in the back.

The werewolves had not come out unharmed as there were two warriors, the youngest in the group, that had died after receiving several skill attacks and crossbow attacks while trying to protect the Grand elder.

Only a few warriors came out of the fight without some sort of wound. Many of them had minor cuts to their arms, legs, and faces. While a few were now missing fingers, eyes, or parts of their noses and ears.

They were a poor sight to see with blood splattered all over the fur and armor. The ground around them was pockmarked and scorched. Blood from both the demigods and warriors who had died dyed the snow various tints of pink and red.

Akira walked over to Wulfric and the other warriors as he sheathed his sword.

“Gather the dead and bind your wounds, we need to hurry back to the…” Akira’s voice caught in his throat as his grandfather fell forward towards Akira.

He quickly reached out and caught him before he hit the ground.

“Grandfather you shouldn’t have overexerted yourself,” said Akira worried for his grandfather as he heard his heavy breathing.

“Grand elder let me see that wound of yours,” said Klyn as he stepped up behind him to examine the wound on his back.

“Wait…Grand elder this is not a small wound! You should have told me sooner and not lied about it!”

“What is it?” asked Akira.

“It’s nothing!” growled Wulfric.

“A piece of silver is lodged near his heart! Akira, hold him still while I take it out and try to use my chants to heal his wound.”

Akira held onto Wulfric arms tightly while Klyn used a knife and some tweezers to pull out the silver causing Wulfric great pain.

“It’s no use poison…already…” Wulfric panted for breath.

“No! It’s not too late! I can cure it! Or at least slow it so we can return to my grandfather and have him cure you,” said Klyn as he began furiously chanting.

“Akira… although we were together… for a short time… I am proud… to call you my grandson…”

“What are you saying!” said Akira with tears escaping his large eyes which fell down onto the bloody snow below.

“Listen!” growled Wulfric.

“Yes! Grand elder!” said every warrior, their full attention on Wulfric.

“I appoint Akira as the leader of the Darkmoon clan and the coalition. You are to bear witness to this and make sure the other grand elders know my wishes. You must protect Akira from the demigods and anyone who wishes to harm him.”

“Yes, Grand elder! We will do as you order!”

“Stop talking like you’re going to die!” shouted Akira.

“You remind me very much of your father when he was youn…”

“No I can still save him,” said Klyn as he finished his chant and used all of his energy to try and heal Wulfric.

The wounds on Wulfric’s body started to slowly close but the energy usage was too much and Klyn fainted and fell to the ground unconscious.

A moment later Wulfric breathed his last breath.
