IX Despair

Right at this moment, a low roar suddenly sounded out as the wolves followed behind them as the Dark Eagle flew and hide in one of the nearby trees.

"Everyone, climb a tree!" Elijah made a quick decision seeing what the Eagle did. Although those Wolves could fly, he thought that climbing up a tree would be the best choice. But of course, all of this was so they could gain time to think of a way to get away from the wolves.

Seeing Elijah and his friends climbing the tree, those wolves did not charge forth brainlessly as just continued to encircle the area around them as if they had prepared for all this this and knew how to coordinate. Then the wolf on the front focused his two shining blue pupils contrary to the other wolves's orange eyes and walked to Elijah and opening it's mouth, a male's voice rang out.

"I would never thought my target this time would be a little boy, there was so many years since the last time this one devoured a child's meat. Now could you kids quickly get down or we would have to kill your friends first?"

Acting as he didn't hear the wolf, Elijah gave a quickly look on the storage app on his phone and seeing some sacks of wheat flour and spice on the screen, Elijah came up with a quick idea, and started circulating his elemental energy slowly into his left hand as he began to cast a spell in low voice.

At this time, Stormy was also gathering lightning elemental energy with all her power while strengthening his lightning magic and just as he felt an explosive power gather in his hand. Without looking at the wolves, he knew that they would be able to sense the elemental energy he was gathering.

"Be prepared." Elijah said to his friends who didn't understand what he was talking about before throwing several sacks of wheat flour and spice as he raised his left hand casting a lightning bolt on the wheat flour causing a massive explosion.

With wheat flour covering their eyes and spice confusing their sense of smell, the wolves below which had been restlessly moving around suddenly froze and started moving backwards, whimpering, even the blue eyes wolf haven't escaped and was acting the same as the other wolves.

"Everyone runs now!" Elijah screamed before turning and started to run.

Only then did a sudden resounding howl sound, and in a flash of blue light covered the entire forest while the same blue-eyed wolf appeared but this time, It was an extremely huge with a body of almost 3 meters in length. And another strange thing was its fur, which wasn't silver like the other wolves, but a very white with several blue lines and the mark of Crescent moon. Its cold eyes glowed with a dim blue light, and it was covered in a shimmering silver aura.

Elijah exchanged helpless looks with his friends: "This wouldn't be a Crescent Moon Wolf right?"

Ava's face turned pale as she spoke: "Not only it seems to be a Crescent Moon Wolf as it seems to be a Crescent Moon King! Gods! A Crescent Moon King is comparable comparable to a cultivator on the peak of the third realm. Not to mention us, even someone on the fourth realm would have problems dealing with it!"

However, this Crescent Moon King in front of them was very different as it was intelligent to the point of speaking and even seemed to be here obeying orders.

Turning his head to look at his friends, he saw their frightened look and the despair in their eyes. He knew it was normal to feel like this as all of them is very young and had never been in such a despairing situation, but the only strange thing was why he was not feeling anything, as his mind was clear.

Them the time seemed to stop as three icy lights passed before his eyes and hiting Ava, Zaid and Evelynne, Instantly, blood spurted out everywhere, covering Elijah all over as their body falled to the ground.

Seeing the friends he had made in those few months fall to the ground, Elijah felt despair for first time in years. But even then he smiled faintly, raising his hand and slowly taking out his new hammer, Chloe's Heart.

"I'm sorry, everyone. All of this is my fault. But no matter what, i will take revenge for you guys."

Inside the Dark World, Shadow was watching everything and felt sorry as she knew about the pain and guilt he must be feeling. Looking at his firm actions, the look in Shadow's eyes began to change gradually. In truth, she could have saved him from the beginning but even then she did not try to stop him, and just watched him silently. As she knew this is part of his growth and with her help, it will only make things worst.

Picking a few stones from the ground, the Rune left wrist shone forth with a deep silver light which covered the stones before he jumped to the sky and throw it.

In a instant, several stones flew towards the 12 Crescent Moon Wolves coming to him, just as Those Crescent Moon Wolves had been gathering their power together were instantly scattered around as each of the stone hit their heads releasing powerful energy ripples blowing their bodies far away.

At almost the same time, Elijah came descending from above, his smashed his hammer down with all his might smashing the Crescent Moon Wolves which had escaped the stones. Instantly, their supposedly tough bodies split apart and even more blood covered Elijah.

Everywhere Elijah walked towards, the ordinary Crescent Moon Wolves would run away from him. However, right in that instant, the huge Crescent Moon King appeared in front of him. Raising his hands he cast several spells, energy bolt, lightning spear, thunder barrage and void space, even when using void lightning and throwing his hammer didn't hurt this beast at all.

"Dammit, is this the true power of a third rank magical beast?" An immense pressure fell upon Elijah as more of those ice spears came swiftly at him from different angles, and it seemed like it was a hopeless situation for him! And in the same moment, several thin ice spears that he could not see, slicing forth at Elijah from many different angles. Now Elijah's body was covered by his and the wolves blood while most part of his clothes was slashed by this move from the Crescent Moon King.

"Dammit, is this the true power of a third rank magical beast? An immense pressure fell upon Elijah as more of those ice spears came swiftly at him from different angles, and it seemed like it was a hopeless situation for him!

Elijah almost spat out blood with the huge impact along with the strong cutting sensation on his body, but then, the four fairies which lived on his energy lake appeared beside him and made a energy shield protecting him from the ice spears, and he saw a vision of ninety-nine orbs of luminous light encircling him.

Elijah felt as if something was trembling without stop, his entire hair seemed to turn silver, his eyes one purple and one blue, and a amazing amount of elemental energy seemed to rush out from his body in a explosive way. His clothes were totally destroyed as his body began to expand and sensing what they need to do, the four fairies each pressed on his arms, chest and head as a armor began to form around him.
