Lycan Form

*Ding: Romeo, there is no point in fighting an already lost battle. Let me do you one better, to survive in this vegetative wilderness, you have to think about one person, yourself. After all, there are no friends in the jungle.*

"So you mean to say that I should be selfish?" Romeo frowns. "I am sorry. Besides, it is not like the girl is dead or anything. I think I should help her." Romeo said resolutely.

*Ding: Whatever Romeo. But how are you going to be of help to her when you haven't even figure out how to help yourself?*

Romeo could tell that his consciousness is really trying to dissuade him but he has already made up his mind. According to his consciousness, however, his dilemma now lies in the manner with which he is to aid the girl in the battle.

He really has no idea about how to assist her as he could barely control his shift, which is the only option in a situation like this.

However, the last time he shifted, which was also his first, was due to the agitation he was feeling. In order words, he shifted purely as a result of the intense emotion of fear and anxiety.

Seeing that if he does not act soon, the girl would get devoured by the Primals, Romeo began to try to shift. He figured that since emotions can trigger his shifting, he might as well summon all the fearful emotion he is feeling at the moment into his Carnal Shifting.

Few moments after several grunting and groaning, Romeo realised that his attempts to shift are futile. He really doesn't know how to trigger his Carnal Shifting.

*Ding: Really, Romeo. You do know that lack of calmness in moments like this can hinder your Carnal Shifting. Therefore, do not rely on emotions to shift, instead, rely on the power of your will while maintaining an air of calmness.*

Hearing the words of his consciousness, Romeo tok in few deep breaths and tried again. This time, he didn't let his fears guide him as he tries to visualize the process of his Carnal Shifting while looking inwards.

Slowly but surely, he eventually shifted but not into the kind of form he was hoping to take and this shocked him greatly.

The ferocious beasts surrounded the injured girl with no intention of backing down. They circled around her like a pack of wolves stalking a prey.

Letting out vicious snarls and emitting a bloodthirsty aura, they made sure to make the atmosphere thick with their killing intent as they observed their target, the forest grounds radiated their presence.

The girl stood with a defensive stance against the primitive siege. Though she knows that she had no chance against these monstrosities, she still stood with the intention that if she is to go down, she would do it by fighting.

Even though she is literally defenceless, as there is no sort of weapon with her, and injured, the girl's unwavering stance and resolved gaze radiated an air of defiance which made the creatures stalking her approach with caution.

It was as though they were expecting some kind of if resistance from the girl owing to the look of defiance she expressed. After several minutes of assessing their prey, they soon came to the conclusion that she is harmless and posed no threats whatsoever, which made them pounce.

A Primal, which stood some feet away from the girl, pounced with viciousness as it intended to rip her to shreds. Thankfully, the girl had seen the Primal on time and quickly eveded it's teeth and claws as she immediately moves to the side.

However, at that moment, another Primal suddenly jumped towards her, attacking from behind much to the dismay of the girl who had momentarily let her guard down.

Their attacks occurred simultaneously which caused the girl to be unprepared. It is however surprising that such primitive creatures have a sense of coordination, an act which sealed the fact that, though they might be primitive, they still know how to communicate with one another with a sense of unity amongst them.

Feeling the hairs on her back rising, she turned her head only to come face to face with the drooling mouth of a snarling Primal that is only few inches away from her petite figure.

It occurred so suddenly that the girl wasn't given the time to move out of the way as she stood transfixed on the spot. Her brain was barely processing what is happening, her heart was pounding crazily, pumping adrenaline across her veins while her mind went numb from the intense sensations she is feeling as she watched the impending doom.

The attack of the Primal was quick and ruthless, and also incredibly precised, as it moves with the intention of ripping her head off her body as soon as it's elongated canines clasp around her neck.

The girl watched in horror as her assailant got closer to her. Seeing it's teeth getting dangerously close to her, she closed her eyes while bracing herself for the impact.

It was as though she knows that her fate is sealed with only one outcome, death. She couldn't believe that this is how she is really going to leave this world without fully accomplishing her mission.

Few moments passed and nothing happened. The girl who was expecting the inevitable outcome of death from the teeth of the Primal slowly flutters her long lashes open with shock, and a hint of confusion clouding her face.

Letting out a slight gasp, the girl moved her figure some steps back before gazing at the raging Primal which is now a few feet away from her, snapping it's jaws as it struggles to get close to her.

The vicious beast which was to tear her apart few minutes ago now struggles to get a hold of her as it appears to be stuck. It was as though something had caused it to stop in its tracks causing it to try to break free with all its might.

The girl was utterly confused as to how the scene unfolding before her turned out to be. What is happening right now is something beyond her expectation, which by the way was death.

Suddenly, the primal which was still trashing around was lifted into the air before it was sent flying across the clearing. The girl watched as the Primal crashed against a tree with a force that seems to shake the ground itself.

She turned her head to the culprit only to come across a ten feet gigantic dog that caused a gasp of fear to come out of her throat.

The dog stood on two legs with an imposing build that caused other Primals to back away slowly. The dog has a bulky build with its silvery fur glistening under the moonlight, adding a cold glint to it already sharp aura.

The eyes of the dog glimmers with speckles of gold, and it's snort bared it's elongated and sharp canines which looks ready to rip flesh apart. The dog stood, emitting an oppressive aura that sent the girl shivering as her knees trembled to maintain he balance.

Surely, this is her first time seeing such a gigantic dog and by the way it effortlessly hurled the Primal across the clearing, she could tell that this is not an ordinary dog. A fact evident from how it maintained its balance on just two legs, like a human.

'What is this?' Romeo questions in confusion as he scrutinized the form he shifted into. Had it been Romeo still has his hands, he would be scratching his head right now.

'Isn't a Dragon my Carnal Shifting form?' Romeo ponders. This sudden change in his Carnal shifting is really puzzling and abnormal.

Few moments ago, his Carnal Consciousness was teaching him how to shift and when he finally got the hang of it, he thought he would shape shift into a Dragon but he never thought it could be a Lycan form he would take.

*Ding: You are right, Romeo. A Dragon is your carnal form but it is only a part of the numerous forms you can take. What do you think the 'Omnix' ability you have indicates? It signifies that there is no limit to the number of Carnal Shifting forms you can take in the world, be it THRIVE or STRIVE.*

Romeo was dumbfounded, at first, but soon his momentarily shock turns into bliss and a wide smile would be blooming on his lips had he still been in his human form.

He couldn't believe his ears. The ability to shift into any Carnal Shifter he wishes is the best kind of ability he could ask for. Now he really doesn't need to worry about survival as he could literally fit into any House or Horde, whether THRIVE or STRIVE.

Either ways, he is now on his way to becoming an apex Carnal Shifter, much like the Primes.

However, Romeo's joy was short-lived. The Primal which he crashed into a tree had already regain its bearing and is now baring it's teeth at the daring Lycan.

The glow in the fiery red eyes of the Primal indicates that it is pissed off and is out for blood. Letting out a loud roar, the primal charged towards the huge dog while engaging it in a heated battle.
