The Ruined Death Knight

Chapter 104 - That's My Prey!

"Owoooh!

"Does it hurt?"

With his cold deep voice, he pushed the runed blade even further through the wolf's head, making the Alpha feel enormous pain in return.

"Owooogh!" The Alpha crazily swung his head around in hopes to throw the glued Danzel off his head.

Each second that passed resulted in the pain increasing even further while a feeling of dizziness came to his head.

He felt as if something was sucking his head out which resulted in that maddening pain.

At that, something did Alpha determined to be the previous dark food!

For someone as the king figure of this territory, being bested from someone so small was beyond his understanding.

Only fear and panic were left to be seen in the Alpha´s eyes!

The Alpha did everything it could to get him off, which bought Danzel the feeling of being a rodeo.

The Alpha only then managed to get Danzel of him by swinging his whole head towards one of the massive trees.

Danzel who was thrown from the Alpha´s head to the ground got up and looked at the wolf who was now scratching the spot where the blade was in with his remaining claws.

Which resulted in self-harming itself.

Though further wounding itself wasn´t that smart in his current situation, the pain was too much even for it.

"Awooooogh!" Screaming from pain, the claws dug slightly through his flesh and managed to pull the rune blade out of his head while breathing heavily.

"And here I thought that I crushed his skull..." Danzel said while staring at his left arm full of holes and saliva.

`Though all the effort that I went through to keep the armor in perfect state, in the end, I all those efforts went to waste...´ He thought quite depressed.

He just needed a little bit of time and resources to finally learn the Veren runes.

He hoped until he learned that the armor would still be intact.

But that was purely his wishful thinking.

If it weren´t for the armor his left arm would even be gone by now.

"At least it still holds on nicely...but those holes." With a flash of light, the dark crystal shield disappeared out of thin air with a runed spear replaced this place.

Taking a throwing poster, he threw the spear at the Alpha wolf.

Traveling through the air, the spear hit the Alpha´s stomach, which made the relief that it had to his face once again turn into pain.

"Woooof!"

With bloodshot eyes, Alpha stared at Danzel with anger showing on all his face.

"Don´t worry, I still got another ten of those sweet things just for you!" With a spear appearing in his hand, the next spear was sent flying towards Alpha to his back.

"Growl!" 

Groaning out of pain, it pulled both the spears out of this body with its mouth and tossed them to the ground.

Doing that, a short green golden aura engulfed the Alpha´s wolf whole body.

"Awooooooo!" Sending out a cry to the air, all of those wounds including his missing leg started to close and heal

The speed although slow, was still visible by the naked eye of all the wounds closing up.

Those actions though didn´t prevent Danzel from throwing another of his spear at the wolf.

Ignoring the stuck spear in his chest, the wolf continued regenerating his wounds.

After this whole body closed all the wounds, another four spears were stuck in his body.

"Growl..." The wolf dazed stared at the spears and then at Danzel who was preparing yet another of his spears.

A hint of fear showed at these eyes as if they had some kind of PTSD against that dark food.

His exhausted body together with the previous pain made it subconsciously take a step back.

As the king of this territory, it never felt any fear till now.

He decided which ones were to be food and which ones were to eat.

Everyone going against his rule would become the former with the obedient ones the latter.

And the fear he brought down to the rebellious slaves was now given to him.

Against this hollow being that he thought would be easy prey at last.

In reality, it was also starting to feel the immense bloodlust emitting out of the small body of a hollow being. Which further enchanted his fear towards him.

His muscles were screaming out of pain, while this body felt weak from the overuse of life force and lacking nutrients.

The wolve experience such struggle only once in his entire life and that was when his mother abandoned him and threw him out of the pack to these dangerous woods.

Though daily hardship and death experience it has quickly grown, only to show up back to his pack which abandoned him to become the new Alpha by killing the old Alpha.

And for revenge, it treated the male of his packs like slaves and the females, including his mother as his mates for the future generation of slaves.

It knew that since birth that he was special.

Stronger than any other wolves, cleverer than any of the oldest wolves, and a superior third eye that no one else had.

And such existence felt like death was staring at him.

*Fshen

"Woof!" 

Raising his leg, it deflected the incoming flying spear and turned around, running towards the woods.

"You think that this trick will work twice!?" Danzel yelled as the colors of the Alpha´s body started to fade.

But unlike before, he was prepared.

Raising his right arm towards the direction of the running wolf, the dark green mana that he was building up was released.

"[Curse of Exhaution]!" The mana soon turned into a dark green ethereal mist and shoot with high speed towards the running Alpha.

The mist speed was even faster than the mages [Magic Missile] ones and was physically immune.

Just as the Alpha almost completely turned invisible, the dark green mist hit and entered his body like a dry sponge.

"Woof!?" The Alpha who was running for his dear life notice a heavy burden placed on his body as if his muscles were trying to keep him shackled.

Then it moved, the more exhausted it was started to feel.

But the Alpha didn´t care of any of that.

Since it already has turned invisible, his escape was already guaranteed.

And once he had recovered he will bring the whole pack and hunt down the one who brought him to this state.

Unknowingly to him, he was only delaying his death.

"I didn´t have the chance to place that curse before, but now that I got you aren´t going anywhere..."

Raising his hand he summoned the status window and put the remaining 9 attribute points to agility.

Feeling his body becoming lighter and what little he had for senses getting stronger.

He followed the curse of the Alphas body with a similar movement speed as the wolf.

***

In the Northeast Road near the various beast territory.

A group of armed people, with swords or staff they escorted three big carriages.

With most of them having a wary expression.

"Hey Serran, are you sure we are going through the tide path? This looks more of a beast territory of those hounds, I heard that a powerful golden eye has been seen in those areas around."

A bulgy man with a spear in his hand and a scar going through his face said.

"Hannes, the mission comes from the association with handsome rewards awaiting us once we deliver those things," Serran  said with staff with his hand.

"As for the hound you are talking about you don't have to worry about it. With so many mercenaries in our group, the hounds would never dare to"

As Serran was about to assure his friend, a loud howling could be heard from the woods.

"Awooooo!"

Hearing that, every mercenary bought out their weapons and readied their spells.

And as everyone had thought to be a long echo, a 4 meter tall third eyed wolf appeared.

"The golden hound!"

The atmosphere suddenly felt denser and every gripped their weapons harder subconsciously.

"Stop it!"

Hearing the orders, the melee mercenary rushed towards the beast that had countless cuts and some spear tips on his body.

With his seer body mass, the wolf pushed through the melee mercenary and continue his path straight to the other side of the forest.

But as it was about to leave the road, the ground felt like turning into water, which resulted in it falling to his ground.

"Good job Serran! I will do the rest!" Cannes said while dashing with his spear glowing.

But as he was about to go for the finishing blow a deep cold voice echoed through the woods.

"That's my pry!"

*Baahm

With the sound of wood breaking apart, a dark armored figure made his appearance clear to the air.

The giant wolf eyes were filled with dread.

It tried to raise his leg to catch the falling dark food with his glowing metal in his hand.

Alas, it was too late.

Passing the leg, he got closer and swung the long sword at the wolf's throat.

With the wind blade releasing too, a massive chunk of the wolf's neck was cut.
