Hero of Darkness

Chapter 1318: The Great Wolf

The battle between the leaders of the vanguard forces had just begun as the Summoner Sorcerer of the Demon Empire and the Chapter Master of the Wolfborne exchanged their powerful skills.

However, just one decisive strike from the saint from the Abyss Empire instantly shattered 4 layers of magic barriers.

The sight was witnessed by many who had time to spare, anywhere else other than killing whoever stood in front of them.

And those who saw from a safe distance… had their minds bewildered.

The magic shields were of a completely high caliber, no different than a Legendary Rank spell, and there were four of them as part of the spell.

Generally, anyone who could cast this kind of spell would be considered an Archmage-level master of the craft and be revered by those who practised in the same field.

But that kind of skill was shattered by just one blunt attack by the opponent. So of course, even Omprath was shaken to his core.

[This barbarian! What kind of power did his attack contain? It can’t be just the ice element.

Because one of those shields had great defense against the ice element as well. No… this has to be his strongest attack to catch me off-guard.] thought the sorcerer as he regained his focus in mere moments.

“Oppnet Mura Divrkkas Gor Dalsa!” he chanted and gathered the dispersed chaos energy from his fallen summoned creatures.

“I command thee, so heed my call and annihilate my enemy!” said Omprath, and soon, a ginormous being started to materialize just one kilometer away from him.

In mere seconds, the size of the summoned entity rose to a whopping 2 kilometers as a fiend with the head of a mountain goat with 4 arched and gigantic horns came to be.

It was a humanoid creature with multiple claws, 3 tails, and hooves for its feet. And its eyes shone bright red as the dark furry skin also leaked a highly condensed chaotic aura.

“GRRHHHMMM!!” it grumbled as its eyes focused on Drevon.

RAAWWRR!!!

It roared ferociously, and the sharp claws started glowing, revealing the mauling weapons for a hand.

“Attack!” shouted the summoner.

The massive being made of highly erratic and destructive chaos element lunged toward the chapter master.

Despite how long their battlefield within the sky was… it covered 10 kilometers of distance in a single leap.

And when it took another leap, the claws burst forth with searing heat as the blizzard in the atmosphere turned blinding.

Drevon, in response, smiled with excitement as he clenched his frost battleaxe.

“Were you not made of that tainted chaos, I would have offered you on the dinner table for my troops tonight,” he said and started turning into his beast form.

AWOOOO!!!

An ear-defeaning roar echoed from the blizzard as Drevon turned into a Great Werewolf himself.

Now, what was a Great Werewolf? They were always treated as the leader of the entire clan and were at least 3 times stronger and bigger than their own kin.

In monster hierarchy, they would be akin to a High Lord rank monster who often controlled a large region as its sovereign.

Crackle!

Rumble!

Drevon now stood 8 meters tall, his armor adapting to his size and the battleaxe also exuding a much denser aura than before.

And as result, his previously summoned ice elemental wolves also received a power-up, turning bigger, stronger, faster, and far more ferocious.

“Come here, you little goat.” taunted the chapter master as he too made his move.

Swoosh!

In an instant, he appeared in front of the giant chaos summon and swung his axe.

The chaos summon also brandished its claws and, with all its might, attacked the chapter master.

BOOM!!

BANG!!

Multiple shockwaves broke the sound barrier, and the sky itself trembled from the clash.

Despite the ginormous size of the chaos summon, the great werewolf also faced it with equal force.

Their clash almost created a crack in reality and sent sonic booms that even repelled the blizzard formed by the chapter master.

The nearby 5-kilometer radius was instantly cleared of anything that previously occupied it, and the outer barriers that surrounded this battlefield almost started forming cracks.

Omprath, on the other hand, was shocked to his core again.

He knew how strong his chaos summon was. But the fact that Drevon matched it perfectly in strength and did not get pushed back even in the slightest despite his insignificant size in front of the enemy… told him one thing clearly.

[If I took that strike with my own body… not even the dust of my bones would remain.] thought Omprath with a horrified countenance.

******************

One hour later…

What followed was a total onslaught on both the ground and aerial battlefield.

The seasoned veterans of the Wolfborne started pushing back the enormous armies of the demon empire with their meticulous and insanely perfected battle tactics while slaughtering thousands of soldiers with their limited numbers.

In the sky, the battlebarges and warships, armed with ancient but terrifying firepower, had wiped out many of the giant flying beasts and artillery ships of the enemies.

As for the leaders of their respective vanguard forces… their battle had also come to a conclusion.

Drevon Blackhound had also killed the chaos summon with his brute strength alone and had also wiped out the chaos monsters with his wolves.

Now, both he and Omprath had almost run out of world energy despite their ranks.

That was why armies sent their same-ranked saints to fight. Because they were often equally matched and had similar world energy reserves.

In a way, it also stopped them from interfering with other troops and hence could circumvent a lot of losses on their side.

“Huff! Huff!”

Drevon was both physically exhausted, and his armor also had received noticeable damage.

But Omprath was no different. He had used most of his trump cards, and after Drevon killed the chaos summon, he, as the summoner, received huge backlash.

As a result, he had lost the world energy as well as the ability to cast most of his spells.

So in the end… it all came down to a physical confrontation.

“ARRGGHH!!” bellowed the great werewolf as he gathered all his strength and world energy he had left into one single attack.

“You dare!!” shouted Omprath as he gazed at the feral beast heading towards him, his eyes filled with rage and contempt.

The summoner cast another array of magical projectiles that launched themselves at the rampaging beast.

BOOM!!

Crack!!

A terrifying explosion shook the battlefield, and even the isolation barrier surrounding the battlefield was instantly shattered.

And the final winner of the first decisive battle became apparent to both the forces.

Drevon Blackhound… now stood upon Omprath’s giant, decapitated head as he bellowed…

“For the God of Darkness!!”

The chapter master of the Wolfborne then looked at his own forces, who watched him emerge victorious as he let out a beckoning call…

“For the Emperor!!”
