ch 6 a new were-beast Alpha

Alphonse explored the town for a while. Longer. Before heading to an inn to get some rest for tomorrow.

After a decent night's rest, Alphonso went to the guild.

At the receptionist desk was a young elf woman maybe in her mid twenty's.

Light brown, medium length hair, that went slightly past her shoulder's. With hazel eyes that seemed to sparkle.

A name tag resting by her left shoulder. Reading the name Rina.

"How may I help you today sir?" Rina spoke with a vibrant tone.

"I'd like to register with the guild as an adventurer." Alphonse stated.

"OK, just sign your name and age on this." Rina said as she pulled a form out with a quill, and ink.

Alphonse quickly wrote down his name and wrote down his age as twenty.

Rina took the paper. "Be right back Mr.strom." Rina smiled, as she winked. Then walked to the back room.

Alphonse didn't care about Rina's flirting.

He was minding his business, when three human males surrounded him at the desk.

"Hey animal, what buisness do you have being in our town?" The man sarcastically spoke.

As he pulled Alphonse's hair.

Instantly angering alphonse. He turned around to look at the assailant.

He was about chest hight of alphonse.

"Who the fuck do you think you are?" Alphonse berated the man with his words.

Upon hearing alphonse yelling at the man.

Rina came running out. Upon seeing who it was pestering the new guy. Rina immediately spoke out.

"William take your thugs, and leave, or I'll get the guild master down here. Stop disrespecting people in the guild, Or you'll be banned from the building." Rina ranted at william standing face to face with William.

William, and his party immediately left after she was done blowing up at William.

"Sorry about that Mr storm. Here is your adventurer ID.

It also acts as a storage for guild points to buy things within the guild.

Upon completing quests you gain points, and can ascend the guild ranks to be able to preform harder quests." Rina stated taking a deep breath after.

"Thank you, Rina. I'll be back over after I look at your quest board."

Alphonse said, as he walked away towards the quest board.

Arriving at the quest board. There was multiple quests.

Mainly wanting resources from the world dungeon, or the few specialized dungeon surrounding the town.

Like the lightning one he went to a little while ago. The abyssal dungeon is a rank C dungeon.

Looking further into the quests. Alphonse found a quest for the shadow dungeon that is rank B.

The person was requesting for a special kind of wood that grew in that dungeon.

The shadow dungeon also a cavern like floor system that heads downward.

Each floor acting like an environment for a multitude of creatures. Being bigger than the rank c.

Alphonse settled on this quest. Bringing to Rina at the desk.

"This is the quest you want" Rina asked as she pulled out a stamping device.

"Yeah this is the one" Alphonse stated.

Rina then stamped it. Reading the word active. In bold magical ink.

"Be safe in there, I heard that on one of the deeper floors. Resides a shadow demon." Rina cationed.

"Thanks for the information Rina. I'll try to be safe." He said reassuringly.

Alphonse left for the dungeon.

It was a cave like the other one. In the side of a mountain east from the village.

Alphonse followed a trail leading the way.

It was a rough trail.

From the looks of it. It was barley ever used.

It also looks to be foot prints from recent travels. A party of four people, or five.

Alphonse tracking skill was a little rusty.

He was easily able to tell though that the party had a heavy armor user.

From the set of deep impressions. Then the others were all wearing medium or light gear.

Alphonse sniffed the air. Smelling his surroundings. 'Smells like a group of humans.' Alphonse thought as he followed the tracks.

After an hour of walking belirad could see the mountain the dungeon was connected to.

The mountain is at least two times the size, of the other dungeons mountain.

Approaching the dungeon. Alphonse could see a group preparing to head inside.

'Interesting.' Alphonse thought to himself Analyzing the group. Alphonse could now tell it was the men from the guild.

The one who pulled Alphonse hair. The heavy armor user in front. Is a male with short red curly hair. Using a tower sheild, and spear. Sheathed on his side is a short sword. Then there was four others with them.

A mage, a rouge, and a swordsman. The swordsman wearing medium gear, while the other two wore light armor.

The fourth person was disguised in a long brown robe. So alphonse couldn't tell what they used for gear.

Alphonse stalked the group like a predator.

Staying in the shadows. Using his shadow affinitie to morph with the shadows.

Following them into the dungeon. 'The three men seem human. But the one In the robe has a strange scent.

Different from the other creatures he met up to now. Out of all of them this person seemed to be looking around trying to find something.

Fwwwmm clanggg

The robed figure threw a dagger in alphonse general direction.

'Few that was close' alphonse thought scared to move after watching the blade fly right in front of him.

Alphonse got a good look at the robed figures face as she retrieved her dagger.

The others in her group watched as she picked up, and resheathed the small dagger in her belt.

"What was that for nikki?" William asked snapping.

"Shut up William. I thought I heard footsteps over here."

Nikki berated William as she rejoined the group.

Moving forward through the dungeon.

Alphonse kept a greater distance, and tried to be quieter.

Analyzing their fights, and their techniques.

How well the group fought together.

Alphonse started getting better at stalking, and being quiet, and unnoticeable.the three men weren't very strong, and seemed rather week. The strongest being William, and Nikki.

Following them for an entire day they finally reached the fifth floor of the dungeon.

Where they decided to camp, and take turns recovering their strength.

They eventually split up to do different tasks.

Alphonse followed the weakest of the group.

Once they were completely alone. Alphonse advanced from behind.

Putting them in a rear choke hold. Till they are unconscious.

Without making any noise he advanced towards the next person nocking them unconscious to.

Leaving William, and Nikki for last.

Sneaking up on William was easy. Trying to nock him unconscious proved to be harder than the other two.

"n.i..kkkk.i.." William squeezed out as alphonse choked him.

William trashed around a lot. Kicking, and flailing his arms. Before he fell unconscious like the other two.

Alphonse stealthily approached Nikki's location. She is knelt down by a fire. Tending to the flames.

"Show yourself! I can sense you moron. You're not even concealing your aura. Them idiots might have been oblivious. But I'm not." Nikki demanded.

"HI, names alphonse. What are you? You're definitely not human, or were-beast." Alphonse questioned.

While he walked out of the shadows.

Nikki immediately drew several small dagger from her side.

Throwing them at alphonse.

Alphonse nimbly dodged them, catching two of the five blades.

Throwing them back at Nikki. She jumped while twisting in the air. Dodging the two blades. Landing behind the fire.

Two wing like appendages growing from her back. Made of what looked like blood, and red fire. Two long segmented tails. Similar to sword whips growing from her lower back.

The tails looked to be covered in this red fire as well. But had white skeletal appearance compared to the wings wich seemed to shift between a physical form, and a metaphysical form.

Alphonse body shifted bones cracking, and changing. Scales forming, body growing much larger. Becoming a were dragon.

Nikki's face changed from one of confidence. To that of unconditional fear.

"How did you find me?!!" Nikki shouted crazily.

"Easily because these idiots insulted me in one of the guild halls." Alphonse stated

"Why are you so scared of me? I dont even know what you are." Alphonse questioned. As he watched Nikki very cautiously.

"Your not from the royal werebeast court here to kill me?" Nikki asked with a confused expression.

"I don't think a royal night would have approached this situation the same as I did." Alphonse stated wittily.

"Don't be ridiculous." Alphonse criticized Nikki laughing at her.

"Now tell me what you are." Alphonse demanded as he stepped forward causing the ground to tremble.

"Im a goul, vampire hybrid." Nikki stated as she backed away.

'System can I change a goul into a werebeast?' Alphonse asked for clarity.

[No user can not, the poison that laces your claws, and teeth is highly fatal to undead beings like gouls, and vampires.]

[Master can become stronger by becoming part vampire. Or part goul, or both] the system stated, as it went back to being quiet.

'How do I do that system' alphonse asked irritated a little.

[By devouring the specimen. Your special demon/Aesir physiology will take its special genetic trait. Making it your own.] Monotonously stated by the system.

'Good, sounds easy' alphonse thought as he transformed back to base form.

"How about a truce. Your of no use to me. For now" Al bluntly spoke to Nikki.

While collecting the unconscious men. Tying them all separately. In a line in front of him.

"What are you doing with them?" Nikki asked. Wondering what alphonse motive is.

"I'm going to turn them. Does it matter to you?" Alphonse questioned back.

"No, but I was going to kill them myself." Nikki said as she looked around the dungeon.

"How long had you been following us?" Nikki asked with a serious look on her face.

"Hmm, interesting. Why were you going to kill them? I'd been following since you entered the dungeon." Al said while scratching each of the men on the shoulder.

"For food." Nikki said as she watched the blood leak out of the men's wounds.

"Here." Alphonse said as he threw the mage over to Nikki.

Without saying anything. Nikki impaled the man's body with one of her tails. Then rushed off into the distance. Eating while turned away.

Alphonse watched the other two.

They eventually began to show signs. The scratch where alphonse scratched them.

Started to heal over leaving a mark. On their shoulders.

The mark is black in color. The mark itself looked like a demon face with horns.

After the mark formed it glowed a deep purple. As both men started to wake in pain.

Their body's changing, and growing larger.

One becoming a werebear, werewolf hybrid.

While the other became a weresnake, weredragon hybrid.

They both were acting irrationally. Attacking each other. "STOP NOW!!!" Alphonse commanded his golden eyes glowing brightly.

Both immediately stopped dropping down to one knee. Their body's returning to normal.

Except for the small horns growing on their foreheads.

"Get dressed, and follow me" alphonse commanded as he threw some clothes at the men.

Alphonse walked over to the fire. That Nikki was tending to.

With a mere thought the flames grew at Alphonse's will. Becoming a tower of black flames. Scorching the cave ceiling.

'Hmm, magic, seems so easy. I wonder what the system meant about my physiology?' Alphonse couldn't help but think.

'System tell me more about my physiology.' Alphonse commanded.

[Your physiology is that of a Archdemon, and an Aesir titan. A Aseir titan is a platinum skinned, storm giant, deity. A Archdemon. The strongest demons.] The system stated.

'Sounds over powered. If you ask me.' Alphonse thought as he looked over at nikki. Who had finished devouring the mage.

She was now walking over to the tower of flames.

Looking like a goddess of war. Wearing bronze, and leather armor.

Curly, long, black, and purple hair. Her crimson eyes glowing.

Alphonse couldn't help but blush because of her beauty.

Enhanced by the light of the black flames.

"Nikki would you like to join my group, and go on adventures with me?" Alphonse asked.

"Sure as long as you hide these things. The royal cour..."

"Before you say anything else about the royal court just know they'd kill me too. I don't think what I am would be accepted by the society you speak of." Alphonse said.

"Why your just a werebeast aren't you?" Nikki asked looking at alphonse differently. Like he was some kind of new flower she discovered or something.

"No I'm the first of my kind to be born ever." Alphonse stated

"That doesn't answer my question" Nikki said as she huffed frustratedly.

"I'm a Aesir titan, and weredemon" Alphonse nonchalantly spoke. As if it didn't mean anything.

"I don't know what a aesir titan is, but I've heard of weredemons in legends." Nikki spoke with excitement in her voice.

"They conquered nearly the whole planet at one point. Then the were angels appeared and drove them to extinction." Nikki stated.

"So I agree the royal court would want your destruction at all costs." Nikki said seriously looking alphonse in the eye.

"Yeah, challenge accepted. First we should capture this shadow dungeons core." Alphonse stated as he looked deeper into the dungeon...
