Chapter 483: [Scripted Event] [Sunclaw Kingdom Conquest] 8/?: The Three Wolves are Back!
Epic of Caterpillar
-----
As Celica and Truhan celebrated the coming of their child while smashing hundreds of monstrosities with their feet and axes, three wolves rampaged through the battlefield, their colors were distinctive from each other, and each one was at least five meters tall.
"Awwwoooo! Blazing Crimson Horn Spear!"
The largest wolf was covered in crimson fur and spikes seemingly made out of red and sharp jewels. Its head had four blazing scarlet eyes, alongside an immense, spear-like horn growing from its forehead, which extended ahead of its body, it seemed to be made out of red, jewel-like material, but no matter how many monstrosities and exoskeleton it pierced, it wouldn't even gain a scratch.
The horn grew larger as the wolf commanded it, infusing it with crimson flames, the stabbing attacks that it unleashed made the ground tremble. The wolf's legs were covered in crimson flames as well, giving him the ability to fly in the sky with ease, puncturing its large horn across many monsters, leaving large, gaping holes in their bodies.
"Gahahaha! My horn is unstoppable now! I have become one with the horn! Rampaging Blazing Horn!" roared the crimson wolf, Kurimuzonhōn, or Kurimu for short, he was one of the wolves that made up the main team that explored the Thunder Dragonoid Dungeon in the middle of the Vast Plains, he was one of Wagyu's siblings, blessed by Kireina with a name when she was still a butterfly, he developed his skills and evolved by increasing the efficiency and power of his horn.
After completing the Dungeon with the rest of the party and defeating the Thunder Dragon Overlord Boss, he evolved from a Demonic Horn Crimson Wolf Emperor to a Diabolic Crimson Blazing Horn Wolf Overlord. Since he evolved that he had finally obtained the ability to shape his horn however he desired and was also capable of growing more horns on his entire body, which were the crimson 'spikes' across his large body, which Kurimu used as projectiles, firing them by infusing his Blazing Crimson Horn Aura into his entire body.
"Awwwoooo! This is getting boring, where are the big shots at?!" laughed Kurimu, as he infused his red-shot aura into his body and horn, firing countless horns from his entire body, the projectiles fell upon the monstrosities like a lethal rain, completely mincing their bodies into pieces.
Kurimu even was capable of firing the giant horn on his forehead, which would then instantly regenerate after spending an amount of Mana and Stamina. He fired it against a Monstrosity Amalgamation, which was several monstrosities that merged into a bigger monster. The gigantic horn crossed through the entire monstrosity body, leaving an immense and gaping hole.
Clash!
"Ggrryyyaaa…!"
However, the Monstrosity Amalgamation was the synthesis of various monstrosities and began to quickly regenerate its large wounds as if nothing, extending its hundreds of tentacles, it began to absorb many other Monstrosity corpses.
"Quite resilient! I will have to burn you to a crisp-"
"Let me assist you brother," said the soothing voice of another wolf whose fur was azure-colored, around its neck it had a long mane made out of crystalline water, and several gemstones decorated his large body with dazzling colors, atop his head there was a third eye seemingly made out of emerald jewels, he exuded an aura of mystique akin to spirits. His aura converged the energies of both Water and Earth, resembling a being connected with nature. This was Tsuchimizu, one of Wagyu's relatives on his original pack, who was the first monster to have been blessed by Kireina with a name.
He was born with a special affinity with water and earth, which he slowly developed and made it his own unique power, evolving to greater heights after defeating the Thunder Dragon Overlord with the rest of the party, he evolved from a Spiritual Undine Wolf Emperor to a Sacred Spiritual Oceanus Wolf Overlord, increasing his magical capabilities to greater extents.
"Turbulent Oceans! Jewelry of Oceanus!"
Water and jewels of all shapes and sizes floated inside his Aura as it expanded, turbulent oceans appeared from within his aura and emerged to attack the Monstrosity Amalgamation with tremendous speed, while the jewels shaped themselves as spears of bright colors, penetrating the wind itself.
Flash! Flash! Flash!
"Ggrraa?!"
The turbulent water spirals penetrated the Monstrosity Amalgamation giant body with immense pressure, the endless turbulent water left large holes, as a rain of jewel spears appeared right behind them, slicing and piercing the flesh of the aberration and then detonating into colorful explosions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Grryyaaaaaa…!"
The Monstrosity Amalgamation fell to the ground, its entire body was mushed into pieces that still, somehow had enough life force to keep on getting together while trying to regenerate.
"Perhaps we should shower it with more attacks," said Tsuchimizu.
"Alright!" laughed Kurimu.
"Wait, perhaps freezing it could be a good idea?" asked the female wolf that was covered in white fur and spikes of ice. Her back was covered in such spikes as well, alongside her head, which had three long horns made out of diamond-like ice. She was Yuki-onna, or Yuki for short, as there was now a race of demi-human named Yuki-onna in Kireina's Empire, so it was better to call her Yuki to not confuse the people.
She was one of the first wolves named by Kireina when she was still a butterfly, her tribe was found living inside the caves of the Snowy Mountain Walls, and she joined Kireina after the males of her tribe were killed by her when they tried to attack her party.
Since then she received a name and found herself in a completely new scenario from the coldness of the mountains, she met several wolves as well and her tribe prospered by multiplying with those other tribes. As she was the strongest Ice Wolf, she always accompanied the main team led by Wagyu and Kekensha and defeated the Thunder Dragon Overlord alongside her companions.
From Tundra Werewolf Queen to Winter Moon Werewolf Empress, after defeating the Thunder Dragon Overlord several times by waiting for the Boss to respawn, she gained enough Experience and evolved into an Eclipsing Winter Moon Werewolf Matriarch. Because she was already the mother of many children, she was seen as the 'matriarch' of the ice wolves and their descendants carrying their blood.
Yuki already could manipulate Ice to a certain extent, being capable of creating powerful spells with it, while also being capable of switching between her werewolf beast-woman form and her giant ice wolf form.
She had deemed that in such a battlefield, it was more convenient to be in her Ice Wolf form, which towered above six meters.
"Tsuchimizu, give me a hand," said Yuki.
"Very well Yuki-chan," said Tsuchimizu.
"Hey, what about me?!" asked Kurimu.
"No. You stay where you are, crazy wolf," said Yuki.
Yuki's embracingly Cold Aura began to expand, as Tsuchimizu decided to help her out with his Water Aura, generating large floods of water and dirt, merging together with Yuki's cold aura into a giant snake.
Flash!
"Giisshaaaa!"
Creating something similar to an Aura Beast or an Aura Golem, Yuki and Tsuchimizu demonstrated outstanding teamwork, creating a snake made out of their Auras and large amounts of magic, charged with their powers, it snake clashed against the Monstrosity Amalgamation, detonating into an explosion of cold.
Boom!
The Monster Amalgamation was then frozen in place.
"Horn Barrage!" roared Kurimu, firing countless crimson horns generated from his body alongside the large one on his forehead, while constantly replenishing them.
Clash! Clash! Clash!
Crack, crack!
The frozen Monstrosity Amalgamation was pierced hundreds of times, cracking into pieces and falling to the ground.
Crash!
"Well, that was a bit more complicated than I thought," said Tsuchimizu.
"What are you talking about?! We just beat it to death! It could not even retaliate!" laughed Kurimu.
"Well, master Kireina didn't specify to us that we would really have a hard time… she just said 'have fun'…" muttered Yuki.
"Hey, didn't master said something about sending someone strong for us to get rid of?" asked Kurimu.
"Yes… Oh, it is here. Good timing, Kurimu," said Tsuchimizu, glancing to his left, where their contender had arrived.
Space suddenly trembled, and an enclosed domain inside an enclosed domain appeared, making sure that their new enemy would not run away after seeing the three intimidating wolves.
It was a young boy on his twelve years of age, with gray fur and pale-white skin, alongside fox ears atop of his head and a long wolf tail on his back. He had crimson eyes and had a dark grimoire emanating a deadly presence floating around him. His aura was not any different than the grimoire, resembling a wicked and furious wolf-shaped dark specter. He was Noboru Sunclaw, the youngest son of King Barion and Queen Rei.
He did not seem intimidated at all; it was just completely enraged.
"What just happened?! Those strange monsters… they separated us and then manipulated this domain to send us through space… Ah?! This is an enclosed domain… it is smaller than the one that was created just previously, replacing the main body's Nightmare Barrier… and these wolves… I see how it is… Kireina is trying to do the same thing that she did before in Moonfang with the vessels of Sunclaw?! It will not work as you think, you fool! These wolves do not seem as strong… I can easily kill them and convert them into specters for my army…" it said, at an almost confusingly fast speed.
The three wolves, who barely understood what he said, stood there watching him.
"Wait, he called us weak?!" roared Kurimu.
"I think he did," said Tsuchimizu.
"Well, we might not be as strong as Wagyu or Kekensha, but we are certainly not weak. And we are even stronger if we work together," said Yuki.
Completely different than his appearance, Noboru had been long corrupted and encroached by Geggoron's split soul, acquiring a similar personality and will. Becoming arrogant and petulant. Despite being an adorable young boy in the past. His soul, emotions, and memories were assimilated by Geggoron's split soul, and he had become nothing but an alter ego of the split soul.
He was also rather confident in his capabilities and seemed to have misunderstood the power of the trio of wolves before him.
"What are your dogs babbling so much about? I think it is time for you to shut up and die!" roared Noboru, his little body began to exude a large amount of Mana, Aura, and Divine Energy, as countless crimson eyes emerged from within the spectral wolf that was shrouding his body. His floating grimoire began to pass through pages, as magic circles appeared all above him, his spectral aura shapeshifted and released countless monstrosity-shaped specters.
The monstrosity corpses surrounding him were also devoured by his specter, which kept producing smaller ones, creating a large army that flew towards the wolf trio, showcasing their crimson eyes.
"Roar!"
"Graaawl!"
"Grrryaarr!"
"Phantoms? Is this guy's greatest power?" asked Kurimu.
"A lot of specters, something similar to ghosts, so he creates them through his strange soul and aura?" wondered Tsuchimizu.
"Just as this Demon said, less babbling and more action, you two," said Yuki, covering herself in her Ice Winter Aura and jumping towards the specters like a meteor made out of ice.
"Tundra Empress Punishment!" she roared, as her Ice Winter Aura began to spiral around her creating an ice storm, white clouds emerging and converging around her body as they unleashed hundreds of large ice spears above the specters.
Flash! Flash! Flash!
"It is useless, my specters are immune to physical attacks, throwing giant ice spears won't do anything-"
Clash! Clash! Clash!
"Gryyaaa!"
"Growl!"
"Roar!"
The specters began to perish while shrieking in agony, the large and countless spears pierced their ethereal bodies without any problems, making them dissipate into dark dust.
"...Eh?"
Yuki maneuvered around the sky while generating a rain of ice spears, as small, red-colored slimes around her body conjured 'God Devourer' over her attacks.
