Welcome Committee

The duo headed for the castle, where they were given the direction, in fifteen minutes they should reach the place.

"We have been walking for ten minutes but not even the shadow of these creatures, do you think they will be waiting for us at the castle?" Allatu asks.

"Most likely, the question is how do they know we're coming? Did they have the village under fire with some spell or ..."

"An undercover spy" Allatu concludes Asteri's theory.

"Maybe, but why think about it when we can ask them directly" smiled Asteri.

"Right," she replied.

They arrived at their destination shortly after, the castle looked exactly like an abandoned building, cracks everywhere, broken windows, pieces of fallen marble "Without a doubt a real castle in ruins" says Asteri.

"What do you say if after having freed it from those creatures, we don't take possession of it and live in it?" Allatu jokes.

"Like a base of operations, but if we have to travel a lot I don't think we can always come here ... we'd need some kind of a portal," Asteri thinks.

"It could be done ... but a wizard would be needed is a platform where to set up the portal and connect it to a transportable object where you can use it anywhere" explains Allatu.

"What a great idea, I'm even more determined to finish this mission." Asteri says.

They finally entered the castle, where only darkness and shadows welcome them "neache come to greet us?" Asteri says.

"Let's give him time," she replies.

They went even further into the castle, long and wide corridors many rooms and halls, decaying columns and torn tapestries "time can be cruel" says Asteri looking at that place that was once most likely a splendid castle.

"We will have to work a lot to put it back together," says Allatu, swiping a finger across a very dusty wall.

"Well we could hire a lot of maids" Asteri says with a mischievous smile "of course they couldn't do their job being always with you" she replies rolling her eyes "eheh" he chuckles.

* growl * suddenly they heard growls carried by the echo of the place "finally of the company, I was starting to feel ignored" says Asteri.

More and more noises began to come out, furniture banging, old vases falling and breaking and sounds that seem like a herd of animals running in their direction.

And finally appeared "but those ..." Allatu begins.

"Werewolves ... undead?" Asteri concludes.

What appeared were undead werewolves, their rotten flesh hanging from their bones in plain sight and with a balding coat. Where their eyes, now hollow, must have been, there were little globes of a kind of gray mist. From their tonnage they should reach 2.1 meters in height, and in total they could count ten 'Asteri ...' says Aurelion 'I know ... they are all in the sixth grade of the green core'

"Be careful Allatu" Asteri warns "okay" she replies making a violet whip with a black handle appear in her hand. And instead Asteri pulls his sword out of its sheath and gets into position, but not before throwing a * fireball * that quickly headed to the first werewolf where surprised by the speed of the spell is hit in the face where an explosion follows of fire that burned the victim is another close companion of his. They heard cries of agony as they finished roasting what little they lacked of their flesh and fur. The other werewolves managed to avoid the explosion and continued to run climbing up the side walls avoiding the fire on the ground fueled by the old carpets.

"Nice shot" says Allatu pointing his free hand towards one of them and casting a spell that seemed to be a purple ray managing to hit him in the chest and piercing him making him fall in the middle of the fire that was burning and burning him. The charge of the seven werewolves continues to advance not caring about their dead companions. Asteri took the front line and took the battle stance with the two-handed sword. Two werewolves jumped at him from both left and right, but the latter was grabbed by Allatu's whip in the leg that knocked him against the floor. Asteri focused on the one on the right and with a sword movement he cut off his right paw and avoiding his charge that fell towards the werewolf knocked to the ground.

But Asteri was immediately hired by another werewolf who launched a claw at him but managed to block it with his sword 'shit! you feel that they are two degrees higher than me ... but this will not be a big problem 'by saying this Asteri repelled that werewolf making him retreat and immediately threw a blow that struck him directly on the cola and with a last movement he detached his head net. He couldn't catch his breath as another rushed at him, but meanwhile the two who were on the ground turned their attention to Allatu. Immediately he threw another purple ray which, however, was dodged by the werewolf without one arm but it was just a diversion to make Allatu slam the werewolf captured by the whip against him. slamming them against the wall making them confuse which he exploited to make a kind of claw appear at the tip of the whip which he made swing by cutting off the head of the werewolf that was grabbed. Returning to Asteri I shy away from the werewolf who threw himself at him but not without leaving a deep cut in his ankle making him jump.

The three who were unharmed caused some kind of gray claws to appear above their already long claws, increasing the range of their melee attack. The first always hurls himself towards Asteri attacking with a volley of claws which, however, managed to parry. In time the zomping werewolf joined the one armless hub and hurled themselves towards Allatu who, however, dodged using a misstep, a spell that allows you to teleport in a short distance to a position you can see, immediately swung the whip decapitating the hub werewolf. In time Asteri with a series of moves and dodges managed to stay behind those three werewolves, but not with little effort given their difference in rank, but this did not discourage him in the least. I also use the misstep and appeared behind the three who, not giving him time to react, threw another fireball that were hit in a blast of fire, at the same time Allatu cut both legs of the last one left and with a quick blow heel broke his head.
