CHAPTER 17 : WIGHT

while he was spinning his spear, it created a strong force of the wind that made the cloud dust drive away and see correctly where his opponent

" Ohh, you manage to save that many of your kind? you're quite good for a dog."

after the dust dissipated, the countless wolves and the trees were swept clean in his vicinity even grass and flowers were not allowed to leave evidence of their existence,

with just one swing, he turns this place into a bald part of the forest

"How can a wight possess that kind of power?"

in the outside of the attack range of Sebastian, an exceptional giant wolf was staring at Sebastian with fearful eyes but still didn't want to back down.

he was the chieftain of this wolf tribe

"It is simply because I'm a firstborn, and I am one of the undead lackeys, serving a man who conquered the death itself."

"the dark...heart... but how??"

the cold voice that was communicating to Sebastian before was heard to this wolf that has a bigger stature than those ordinary giant wolves that miraculously escape to the attack of Sebastian

"where does the king of death was staying?"

the eyes of the alpha became dilated when he heard the word conquerors of death

"if you are worried that he will stay in this land, you are mistaken because he has some much larger cause that he wants to do."

Sebastian has guessed his concern correctly because he can clearly see the color of his qi, and now the qi of the alpha wolf is showing a color indicating intense fear.

"it does not like that. I really want him to govern this land. I'm just concerned about the changes that will be going to happen."

" so before that happens let me take your life as an offering to our king "

Sebastian pointed his spear at the alpha wolf to announce. The end of their chieftain's life and show his supremacy to them.

" does our ancestral tree is not enough as an offering to the death lord? or it's just on your own whim that you want to take my life."

calmly said the alpha wolf

"hmm. I think you're right. It was reasonable to let you live after you give extra care to material that my king wants. okay, I decided not to take your life, and as an appreciation to you, I will eradicate all the other magical beasts in this area that are eyeing your territory."

" I'm glad that you understand our circumstances."

"I just thought that you want to fight me, and it was really the right time to test myself... so annoying I was at the peak of my mood to fight... are you really sure that you don't want to fight me with your life in the line?"

"Don't misunderstand us. We were fighting to protect our life, not for testing our strength, and based on what you've shown to us, you have the capabilities to annihilate our tribe in one go if you want, so I need another way to preserve our lives."

"oh, so you want to negotiate? Okay, I will not be going to kill you all despite challenging me, and I'm not a battle frenzy fiend who gets pleasure by seeing the blood of his enemies. but I have some requests for you."

"What is your request for me?"

"I want you to teach me the technique you used to save your fellow wolf before, and it was quite interesting to stop the time, I think."

"before I accept that can you give me your promise that my tribe will have peaceful days as long as your king is alive."

"so you want to take shelter under our banner?"

the interest of Sebastian was getting higher the more their conversation got deeper.

"yes, I want to indirectly come under your king's banner to protect my tribe in exchange for teaching you the sacred technique that passed down to my tribe for centuries."

Sebastian let the calm wind blows his hair before taking his reply.

"I'm curious why you suddenly become interested in becoming our alias even you didn't know what our full capabilities are"

Sebastian crosses his arm. In contrast, the glint of his sapphire eyes becomes serious.

"Although I didn't see yet the force behind you, I can already see its potential by just only seeing you, and I'm pretty sure that your not the only one servant under your king. if he put to existence a wight that didn't get tired can regenerate almost infinitely and most importantly can fight continuously with the power of qi which is not supposed to be compatible with any undead being. What kind of other absurd servants he has there beside you, that the conclusion that I get while thinking it "

" you really have a long speech there, but what all you've said was true, and you're right, I'm not the only servant he has...Wait, are you sure you are a wolf, not a sly fox?... okay, I will inform my king about your proposal, and I think he will surely accept it."

"can you extend my greetings and my tribe to him? I will treat him with all my best when he accepts my offer."

"sure... okay, I needed to go now, my king was waiting for this mellow stone wood"

Sebastian put his spear and spear on his shoulder before turning around

"... see you next time, big dog, I will come back to inform you."

"wait..."

the alpha wolf stepped his four legs to the bald area of the forest where the place that got damaged in the previous attack that Sebastian launched then he put something to the ground with the use of his mouth, after that he came back again to his last position.

"what's that?"

asked Sebastian

" you said your king was fond of crafting. That was the mithril that was all I had. I hope it can help him so much."

"tsk, you are really a sly fox, you know that. Without a doubt, my king will gladly accept you as an ally... I will come back here again soon... bye,"

a blue film once again envelop the whole body of Sebastian

"by the way, I forgot to ask your name."

"Beowulf"

"great, my name is Sebastian" then Sebastian takes a powerful jump that causes the ground where he was stepping on to get some cracks and become concave, leaving a smoking mark of afoot.

"What a terrifying future was growing in this land, the humans will surely have a chaotic age in the future"

melancholically said Beowulf while looking at the disappearing figure of Sebastian that engulf in the radiance of the suns the more he goes further

-hush-

-klick,klack-

multiple sounds of snapping twig and movement of grass could be heard after Sebastian departed

" Father, why did you do that? We can defeat him if we will help you and work together."

a wolf that has the same pattern of fur to Beowulf come near him accompanied by the same countless wolf from before that suddenly disappear when the cloud of dust rose to the attack of Sebastian

"you still needed to learn a lot of things to know my son. I have some lessons for you, my son."

" I'm listening, father."

the small wolf responded in a sound that his own kind could only understand

" There are a lot of variants of power that were discovered by the other species just to survive or to become dominant to others. the humans created the thing what they called auras, and we magical beasts have become lucky, nature bestows a natural innate talent in mana based on the kinds and structure of our bodies. however as times pass by, the humans learn how to harness the mana and the other beast has learned how to use auras, but during those times there was a human tribe that freely challenge any species and every kingdom they know. they don't want dominance, they want to achieve absolute supremacy over any other living beings; they use a unique technique that cant penetrated by the destructive power of aura and cant imitate by using the creative nature of mana in the simple term they were invisible, they have an absolute defense and inexhaustible energy although they disappear out of nowhere and this era has already forgotten them, I can still remember their mightiness and free-spirited nature just like their unique technique that they use, and I remembered when I challenge one of them he called the name of their technique as qi and up until now it is still lingering to my mind how terrifying that kind of power is"
