Reinforcements
"What should I do?, I was the one who called him, now I can't even help him, because of me... my second is going to die!! » I complained as I saw my friend being martyred, my teeth grinding with anger.
As leader of the clan my weapon was the one that was of the best quality, but it now paled in comparison to the claws of the beast, I couldn't even scratch the damn rat.
Maybe if I had enough mana left, I could have injured him or even severed a limb?, maybe then I could have hindered his movements?
I hammered my saber on his body, my blows were too weak to reach him but I hoped.
I dared to hope that I could inflict a blow strong enough to distract his attention...
"Lord Akumu what are you doing come help me!!" Rénald had shouted to me for help, in his eyes, I saw the despair seizing him when the creature began to hammer him against the ground.
"be cursed"
I swore.
I tried to help him, my damn creators didn't let me pass, I cut everything in my path, I diverted the direction of my Odashi, taking advantage of its length to cut several abominations while progressing in the direction of the great beast.
The buzz of the announcement echoed like a torrent in my head.
[You killed a devouring rat]
[You killed a devouring rat]
[You killed a devouring rat]
[You killed...]
A loud roar echoed behind me, I turned my head, scared, really wanting to check how such a noise could happen in my clan's den.
What could be worse than that? Am I really going to watch my clan get decimated?
I saw a large bear approaching quickly, it roared to provoke the creature that was holding Renald, its fur was a dark black, its bulky body looming over everything making everything around it seem tiny.
On his head there was a row of 3 pointed horns that he used to impale small animals that got in his way.
She was heading towards me, or rather towards the creature that was as terrifying as him, ignoring all the potential delicacies that were the demi-humans of my clan.
I didn't know what reaction I should have, should I be relieved that he hadn't attacked my followers? Or should I be concerned that this creature that was the meaning of terror in the forest is present in the moment when we are most vulnerable?
"Hey Akumu, Get it asshole" I heard a voice call me, it was a familiar voice, it was the voice of the only person who could call me that, the only person who could afford to be so vulgar with me.
My lips curled revealing a smirk, I opened my hands, I managed to grab something...shaped like a sphere.
"You're almost late, idiot," I replied to Rakahn, clearing a path towards him.
Behind me there was the monstrous bear fighting the other infamous animal, I also knew that whatever the result I would have to fight one of them in the end, but I was relieved, perhaps with With the help of Rakahn and his followers we will be able to avoid the worst?
"What took you so long?" I asked, slapping him on the back.
He scratched the back of his head, with an embarrassed smile, he had pointed with his right to the place where his cousin was chatting with an elf.
I raised an eyebrow, not knowing what he meant.
"What did that have to do with Dahlia?"
"Wait, don't tell me you didn't check what I sent you?" he replied with a doubtful look.
I turned the sphere in my hand, trying to analyze it in depth.
"How would I know? You just sent it to me" I muttered, sometimes I wonder how this guy can be so careless.
I looked at the sphere, I felt something, it looked familiar, it piqued my curiosity so I increased my concentration further.
My eyes widened.
"Is that purified mana?!!" I shouted, my eyes searching Rakahn's "where did you get that?"
This guy looked at me with a smug look on his face.
"Our master concocted them," he replied.
"Master...? Wait, you swore allegiance to someone??" I exclaimed, stunned.
"Ah it's a long story, now go restore your mana, leave the rest to us" he told me, his smile was the most innocent possible.
A smile appeared on my lips and I looked towards where the two horrifying creatures were engaged in a most terrifying battle.
