Chapter 249- Elsie's Story 4
'Fire?'.
Elsie looked up at the sky, her crimson gaze glowing in the darkness. The moon stood in the night sky in all its brilliance; its luminance glows cascading upon the furs of the wild beasts.
Zon suddenly jumped into the trees, transforming into his human form. His body moved into the branches as the sounds of screaming pierced their ears.
The pack followed after him, transforming into their human form and moving on the branches.
They jumped from one branch to the other, their bodies tensed in anticipation of what was to come.
"Remember guys, attack the bounty hunters and free our kind. Let's get this over with".
They all replied to his institutions, Elsie included as her thoughts reeled in.
'Why are the guardians not doing anything about these bounty hunters?'
For centuries there had been wolves chosen by the tribe to protect the forests. Each tribe had their wolves selected, but it seemed like even that wasn't enough to prevent these bounty hunters from coming into their territory.
"They have a secret path". Zon said, his voice snapping Elsie from her thoughts.
She looked up at him in surprise to find his gaze fixed on her. For a moment, they stared at each other but soon their focus was cut off by the loud sounds and explosions.
They turned towards the direction of the sound and landed on a tree, where the sight was finally revealed before them.
Elsie stood in dismay, her gaze flickering with emotions as she watched the scene unfold.
The Village was a lot smaller compared to theirs, and the houses were just as small.
Most had been burnt down by now, and humans could be seen pulling their wolfkin into cages.
The male wolves were seen fighting valiantly, but a lot more were seen dead.
The total number of humans had exceeded their expectations, and the sight itself was more horrific than they anticipated.
The smell of blood had clouded the air, as children were dragged on the grassy plain into the cages on Carriages while the women were stripped and forced into submission. A total of seven were placed at the exit of the village, while nearly fifty humans were seen causing chaos.
It seemed like they couldn't completely showcase their strength, something that completely confused Elsie.
"What's going on? Why can't women transform?" She asked, her gaze flickering as she turned to don.
"The humans have gotten wiser. They make use of pure silver bullets and a silver mana adapter".
Mana adapters were manufactured gems that possessed elemental and non-elemental properties. Silver was just one of the many properties that could be used.
"Silver?" Elsie muttered in surprise. She had heard of wolves with weaker bloodlines being weak to such objects, but alpha, beta and gamma alphas and their descendants had adapted to it a long time ago.
"We should attack now, this sight is too much to bear". Elsie said with a dissatisfied tone, her fangs protruding out with her claws.
"Yes, we do things in the shadows, Elsie so they wouldn't know what hit them by the time we're done". Zon explained.
"Shadow? Who needs shadow when the wind is by your side".
With a slight grunt, she charged forward, the wind picking up around her as she howled into the moon night.
"Elsie!" Zon fired out in protest, though her reply never came in. He bit his lip and gripped his fist while Melf and the others scoffed as they dispersed into the shadows.
The humans gathered stood on guard at the sound, their attention fixed on the source as they spotted a rampaging werewolf attacking their kind.
"Run! It's an alpha". One screamed out as they rushed towards their carriages, abandoning their activities but Elsie didn't let them escape her grasp
With a slight growl, she jumped into the air and smashed into one, buying off his head at the same time as a stifled scream escaped his mouth.
She crunched on the human's head, its blood spilling out until it dried off. With her gaze red in bloodlust, she charged ahead after them, closing off the distance and grotesquely mauling them into death. She howled at the moon as the shadows warped around her, the rest of the packs joining in the carnage.
Soon, the sounds of bones crushing and blood gushing out pierced through the air, suffused with the screams of humans who died without the strength to protest.
While all this occurred, a few humans stayed on the carriage, their attention fixed on the wolfkin they had captured already.
One of them, Gonzalo Jean suddenly spun his head around from the carriage, his brows furrowing deeply.
"What is the meaning of this? I thought you said you got The highest-grade Silver Mana Adapter?" He asked as he grabbed at one of the men in front of the carriages
The man panicked and looked away. "It's an alpha boss! It doesn't work on alphas".
"What do you mean it's an alpha? Alphas are twice as large as that! We would be dead by now if it were" Gonzalo clicked his tongue and walked out of the carriage, his gaze turning dark as two others worked towards him.
"The Red Peacemakers won't like a delay in their transactions. We need to get these mutts out of the village before the Guardians get here. The barrier won't hold on for long".
A slim figure said, his voice husky and slithering like a serpent. He had small iron rods pierced into his nose and ears and a ring on his lower lips.
His eyes glowed green, and his yellow hair was a contrast to his sickly figure.
"How did some mutts find out when the guardians can't?"
"information must have leaked somehow. Things like this have been happening to our men". The other said.
She was a muscular figure, her body bulging with pristine muscles. She had a bald head and sharp crimson eyes.
Her lips were painted black, and her clothing showcased more body than anyone would wish for.@@novelbin@@
"Oh? So these are the mutts that have been sabotaging our plans!" he said with the click of his tongue as he turned and glanced at the sight before him.
"How dare they?" Gonzalo muttered as his gaze fixed on a black wolf that glared at them.
Its crimson eyes reminded him of the pool of blood that had filled the village, a testament to the dead bodies that were laid waste.
"This will probably be the last time we get something good from the Wolfkin Forest. We shouldn't come back after this". Gonzalo instructed, and the others nodded in unison. "I want that big one. Take care of the rest".
"For the Red Peacemakers". He said.
"For the Red Peacemakers". They chorused.
Like a catapult, Gonzalo charged forward towards Elsie, his body brimming with power as she mauled down one more human before she spotted him.
She howled as she charged at him, her speed picking up as the wind rushed towards her in a fit of storm.
The sudden rush caused a wave of wind that pushed Gonzalo back with a powerful force, causing his body to suddenly slam against one of the carriages.
"Wind? But she's a black wolf" he muttered in confusion as he rubbed his head when Elsie suddenly appeared above him, her eyes glowing red in the night.
Gonzalo wasn't given the chance to react as his body was suddenly bitten into and slammed into the ground with all her might.
The sudden force caused a crater that shook and extended as his body was pushed down with the might of the wind.
Gonzalo bit down hard as he groaned, fighting off the wind with the brunt of his body but unable to even move a finger.
"This fucking mutt". He said through gritted teeth as his body suddenly enlarged. Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire
The sudden increase in mass caused a deeper crater to form, and Elsie was caught in surprise by the change.
Gonzalo grabbed her neck with both arms and pushed her off with great force, a sudden wave of energy blasting due to the force.
He grabbed her under his arm, jumped into the air and slammed her into the ground, driving a fist into her head as a startled yelp escaped her lips.
"You can't even use the darkness. How are you supposed to beat me, you stupid mutt?".
The wind formed a cyclone above them, a sharp work piercing the sky as it slammed down at the both of them, causing an explosion of earth and wind.
A mushroom of dust rose into the sky, as Gonzalo jumped out, his clothes torn from the impact while blood dribbled down his forehead.
His gaze turned towards the Carriages at the far front, his thoughts reeling in. 'She's powerful…but I can't let this haul go to waste'.
He pulled out an orb from his pocket and broke it, causing a ray of thin light to pierce through the air.
Almost instantly, the horses neighed as they were sent away with the remaining carriages, the sounds of the captured female wolves and kids echoing in the air.
"No". Elsie suddenly sprung out from the dust, charging towards the carriages when Gonzalo jumped in her way, his body slamming into her and forcing her to a stop.
"Oh no you don't".
