Chapter 443

"Shit! Get to him!" Caroline shouted and surrounded her body with energy of fire and wind, the road heated up, smoked and cracked as she stepped on them, and the air was so violently pushed away that shockwaves were formed along her way.

"Holy fuck!" Thomas and Detective Kuhn did not even get a chance to follow Caroline or ask her any questions, before the strong wind created by her movement pushed them back a few steps, and the dirt and ashes were thrown in their faces.

"Let's use the car!" Detective Kuhn patted on Thomas' shoulder while Thomas was stunned where he was.

When Detective Kuhn and Thomas got into the car with which they came to this site and started driving to the direction in which Caroline and the lycan ran, the ground in the site started shaking as well.

"What the hell is happening?" Detective Kuhn looked back and asked with a nervous voice.

"Not sure, but let's follow her and get to her." Thomas looked back, just in time to see the windows on some of the buildings be shattered by some kind of shockwave or force, one of the buildings even started shaking as if it was hit by an earthquake: "Looks like the buildings are shaking as well - it's not just us."

Their car drove onto the road towards the residential area in no time and away from the shaking ground.

A loud fracturing sound exploded from beneath one of the buildings behind them, the building and the ground on which it stood cracked in many places, with a lot of and beams of light of different colors shooting out from the cracks. Then, after a short delay, the building exploded, with bricks, blocks of cement and other pieces of the building flying off from its main body and scattered into the area around. What also came out of the building was a few figures of human shapes, shrouded in energy auras of different colors.

On Caroline's end, after the lycan turned into his wolf form and surrounded his body with mist of blood, his speed became unexpectedly fast and even when she was trying her best she was barely able to catch up. Yet this speed definitely came with a price - Caroline could tell from just looking at the lycan that his life force was depleting as he ran. Cars windows were broken, motorcycles and bikes parked near the road were thrown all over the place by the strong wind and shockwaves from their run and even some windows fromfar away buildings were broken in the process, but neither could deal with it now.

The lycan howled, releasing waves of blood red energy waves in the air when he got close to a part of the residential area, in which a few of the better looking buildings stood and the better and richer looking neighborhood resided.

"Tsk." Caroline cursed inside and "grabbed" some of the blood red energy waves coming her way and quickly sensed its power - it's not an attack, or an attempt at creating illusions, but a warning of danger, with a message encoded, but the meaning of which was unreadable to Caroline, because it consisted of another kind of language.

"Boom!" the wolf shaped lycan crashed into one of the bigger buildings, and the next moment, Caroline burst into the building, glowing in an orange and red energy light.

The lycan's body already melted and disintegrated onto a pile of flesh on the ground, surrounded by a few tall, strong and bearded men, and two women with sharp nails and extremely long hair and tattoos on their arms and shoulders, one's hard was dark purple color and the other's was silvery white.

"Did you do this?" the leader of the pack that was standing in this room asked Caroline, with some kind of terrifying aura building up around him, which made Caroline felt that some kind of invisible "lock" was onto her, attempting to freeze her in her place.

"No. I saved him. He rushed here to warn you about something." the energy surrounding Caroline's body glowed brighter, shaking off the aura "lock" as she stared at the leader of the pack in the room in the eye.

"Who are you?" the leader asked.

"Caroline Baker." Caroline stood straight and said: "Apprentice of Jianmen Yu, the owner of Xianshi Inn."

The pack went silent, and the apparent lycans in this room looked around and exchanged looks with each other.

"Who?" then one of the female lycans in the room, one with a head of dark purple hair asked.

"Boom! " a loud explosion came from the direction from which Caroline came.

"That's the plant!" one of the male lycans in the room said: "How were we not alerted on anything! Korthal must have come here to warn us!"

"Contain her." the leader of the pack said to the two female lycans: "We will have questions. Then come with us."

"With pleasure." the two female lycans turned into wolf shapes, whose color of the fur matched with their hair while they were in human form: "Now, Caroline Baker, apprentice of an inn owner. Do you want to save us time and do this the easy way?"

"Sorry." Caroline conjured her orange translucent battle axe and shield, "I am still in the middle of something."

The other lycans burst out of the room, and almost immediately clashed with the few figures that came out from under one of the buildings in mid air. Their initial clash created a huge shockwave, and completely tore down four residential buildings nearby.

The cries of dogs, people and young children arose, but were instantly drowned out by the sounds of battle between two groups of individuals with super powers.
