Chapter 100: Chapter 100
Eru was planted to a giant tree by the giant wolf’s attack. Eru’s clothes were tattered as wounds were visible across his whole body. Eru crawled himself out from the tree with some difficulty, “Ha, amazing. Your transformed state is currently way too strong for the current me to handle”, Eru said in exasperation. Eru stabbed the ground with his sword, “But, you’re not the only one that can transform”, Eru exclaimed as raven-coloured aura began to gather around Eru, spiralling around him. “I’m going all out”, Eru yelled out, “Dragon Force Technique, activate!”
After Eru shouted that, his raven coloured aura shot up to the sky. Then, as Eru prowess grew, his appearance changed also. His moderate length black hair was slicked back, and two dragon horns sprouted on the side of his head. The two dragon horns were curled upwards, and scales were starting to appear on Eru’s skin while his two pupils, which were already slit, turned into a different colour. Eru’s amber coloured eyes redden, and a pair of raven-coloured wings burst out from Eru’s back, making his appearance akin to that of a dragon.
“Now, we fight on even ground, you bastard!” Eur pointed Buddy towards the giant wolf. Eru flapped his energy wings, soaring to the sky before diving down towards the now transformed giant wolf. The giant wolf howled, lightning gathered right in front of its mouth. Then, as the lightning crackled, it suddenly beamed towards Eru. “You want to compare our power? Fine by me!” Eru yelled as his black sword hit the lightning beam from the giant wolf. “Rargh!” Eru screamed. He used his strength trying to push back the lightning beam from the giant wolf.
What Eru did not expect was that the giant wolf did what he did to it before. The giant wolf used the lightning beam as a distraction so that it could move out of the way and into Eru’s blind spot. “What!?” Eru gawked in surprise before getting hit by the giant wolf’s attack. With a bang, Eru was sent flying to the ground, creating quite a big crater. Eru immediately shot back up from it. However, instead of hurt, Eru was just pissed, “Using my own tactics against me, huh. You’re dead, mutt!” Eru once again flapped his energy wings.
This time, instead of flying, Eru used it to propel his body forward in a straight line towards the giant wolf. As he was approaching the giant wolf, Eru smirked before suddenly changing the trajectory of his flight. The giant wolf was startled; it clearly did not expect that Eru would suddenly change his direction. Because of that, the giant wolf stood in its place, adding Eru options on how he could attack. Eru then used his speed to circle around the giant wolf, confusing the latter.
“Taste my blade”, Eru said while sending energy blades towards the giant wolf while circling it. The giant wolf erected a barrier around itself as it could not dodge energy blades that were sent by Eru from various angles. “Turtling up, huh? Well, let us see how much could that shell take!” said Eru as he sent more energy blades towards the giant wolf. As many energy blades hit the giant wolf’s mana barrier, it began to slowly crack.
“Hahahahaha”, Eru laughed as he sent more and more energy blades towards the giant wolf. Eventually, the giant wolf’s mana barrier could not hold on much longer as it broke open, damaging the giant wolf behind. “Awooo!” The giant wolf howled in pain, for the energy blades that were previously blocked by the mana barrier now hit the giant wolf cleanly. Eru kept sending more and more energy blades at the giant wolf.
Smokes piled up around the giant wolf as more energy blades hit it. Eru eventually stopped; he held his sword forward, not daring to let his guard down. As the smoke dissipated, it revealed the figure of the giant wolf. The giant wolf was full of wounds as it glared fiercely at Eru, not losing its fighting spirit. The giant wolf howled, the wolves pack that was previously faced Ling and Long heed its call. They left Ling and Long alone and appeared right near the giant wolf.
“Calling out your underlings, eh? A little bit cowardly, isn’t it?” Eru mocked with a smirk briefly before that smirk turned into something else. Eru gawked as he watched the giant wolf eat all of its pack. “What the hell…..” Eru gasped. He saw that because of the giant wolf eating its own pack, the wounds around it regenerated. The giant wolf mana density went up; its already menacing mana pressure got even stronger as the area around it were devastated because of it.
“Whoa, whoa. Nobody told me you could do that”, Eru worriedly said. However, what reflected on his face was nothing but excitement. Eru was grinning; he anticipated on what kind of challenge that the giant wolf would give him once he was done transforming again. Eru knew that he should not let the giant wolf’s second transformation to occur. However, something inside of him wanted to see how the giant wolf’s second transformation would do against him. “Haha, in the end, even I became like that short prince”, Eru mocked himself with a self-deprecating smile.
After eating all of its own pack, the giant wolf looked satisfied. It flashed a menacing grin at Eru before lifting its head up. The giant wolf howled; another horn protruded from between its two horns. This time, it was larger and longer than the previous two. The giant wolf’s previous blue-coloured fur now turned darker, and the giant wolf’s lightning-shaped tail was turned into metal. Like before, lightning crackled around the giant wolf. However, this time, the lightning’s colour was darker.
Then, the giant wolf roar. The lightning around it suddenly blasted towards Eru, prompting the latter to immediately dodge. The lightning strike did not stop there; the giant wolf again roared, directing more lightning to attack Eru. Eru was able to barely dodge the barrage of lightning that the giant wolf sent at him thanks to the Dragon Force Technique stacked with his own technique, the Eruken. “Bastard! You became much more stronger than before”, Eru smirked while dodging the lightning strikes.
As if it could understand Eru, the giant wolf let out a wide grin after Eru’s remark. It continued to send lightning towards Eru while it walked closer and closer towards its opponent. While Eru was busy dodging the giant wolf’s lightning strikes, he saw that the giant wolf was slowly approaching him. Eru then realized that the giant wolf was trying to lead him on somewhere. “Hah, not on my watch”, Eru said as he charged through the lightning barrage and onto the giant wolf.
Eru slammed the giant wolf with a shoulder bash, breaking its concentration. The lightning barrage stopped as the giant wolf was sent backwards thanks to Eru’s shoulder bash. Then, after sending the giant wolf backwards, Eru immediately followed it with a diagonal slash towards the giant wolf. The giant wolf met Eru’s attack using its metallic claw, blocking Eru’s black sword. They continued their clash, devastating the whole forest around them.
Meanwhile, Ling and Long could be seen running towards the area where Eru and the giant wolf fight. A couple of minutes earlier, Ling and Long saw that the wolves that were currently attacking them were backing away and retreating. They both realized that the wolves around them were agitated because of the sudden, painful howl that was just happened. “Huh? Where are they going?” Ling asked. She did not let her guard down while she watched the wolves leave the area one by one.
Long squinted his eyes, “They’re going to the giant wolf. That howl must have been a call for help”, he said, frowning. “That must mean that Eru was in trouble then”, Ling sighed. Long nodded, “Most likely. We need to hurry towards him”, he suggested. However, Ling just sat down, “If you want to go after them, do it yourself. I’m going to rest here first”, she said while panting. Long shook his head, “Fine, I’ll wait for you”, he sat near Ling, “I, too, realized that I need to recover first.”
Long took up a lotus position, meditating to recover his strength. Ling squinted her eyes as she scrutinized Long. “What a mysterious guy”, Ling said as she, too, proceeded to take up a lotus position of her own. After a couple of minutes of meditating, Ling and Long opened their eyes at the same time. Ling turned her head, finding that Long was staring at him. “You ready?” Ling asked. Long did not reply back, only nodding at Ling. “Okay, let us go.”
===
The clash between Eru and the giant wolf continued. It was so intense that the area surrounding them was devastated due to the clash of their power. They were so focused on fighting one another that they did not notice two people had arrived. “What the hell is this….” Ling had her mouth open agape while Long’s lips were curled up into a small smile.
