I Became A Zompirewolf

Everyone around them was wide-eyed. It had been years since a fight broke out outside the training zones. It wasn't uncommon for the mercenaries to cause trouble there. However, people often ignored the mercenaries, given their close relationship with the wardens and the soldiers.

Most of them were there for just a couple of weeks or probably a month. Therefore, kicking up a fuss about the mercenaries wasn't usually worth it. It almost felt as if ignoring the mercenaries was an unspoken rule of Euphoria.

However, it didn't seem this kid was handed a pamphlet regarding the rules. While some of them shook their heads, the rest prayed to their 'gods' to aid the immature child in his afterlife, because his life was finished now.

Even the mercenaries who saw Ashton fight back had not expected it. At least that's what it felt like at the moment, given the shocked looks on their faces. However, the shock soon turned into anger as the mercenaries drew their weapons out.

From Plasma pistols to energy swords, everything was pointed toward Ashton. The aliens around them immediately cleared the way. Plasma weapons were known to cut through the body mass and hence if the mercenaries fired the weapons, anyone standing behind Ashton would have been sliced as well.

"You bastard!" The blonde woman roared pointing her rifle straight at Ashton's head, "You'll pay for what you did!"

Instead of backing up as the mercenaries had expected, Ashton shook his head and sighed.

"You could have at least used a line that I haven't heard for like... a thousand times before." He said in an annoyed tone, before lowering his sword, "Why don't you stop embarrassing yourselves and do everyone a favour? Just let the girl go and leave us alone. That doesn't sound bad, does it?"

Ashton was hoping severing an arm would be enough of a warning for them, but it would appear his plan backfired. However, whether the guards did the right thing or not, he wasn't backing down until and unless he secured Irina.

Alucard had kept his mother safe for all those years, and now it was his turn to protect Alucard's daughters.

'Tsk, if only Celeste or Sven were here, I would not have to worry about getting my hands dirty.'

If Ashton attacked the Mercenaries anymore, the guards might not take kindly to it. However, if someone else, a third party were to do the dirty work then, they could not have possibly held Ashton responsible.

Hell, if Sven or Celeste killed them, Ashton would not have to worry about a thing. Even if the guards managed to kill them, they would resurrect in a sort while. In the end, no harm would come his way.

[Aren't you forgetting something?]

'Now is not the time to solve puzzles, Astaroth...'

[Tsk, you're no fun at all. Take a look at your Cinder Soul subclass abilities.]

Ashton did so and realised he had a gem hidden underneath the pile of his skill set. Now that he thought back to it, maybe he could have used this skill against Beelzebub to buy himself some time. But he was a bit too occupied back then to experiment with his skills.

However, something about using the skill, [Elemental Summoning (Fire)] did not set in right with him. The place was packed with people, and Ashton did not want to make a bigger mess. Who knew what kind of creature he would end up summoning? In an attempt to save Irina, Verina and Anna might end up getting injured as well.

While he was lost in his thoughts, the humans charged right at him. Two of them swung their swords at his neck. Ashton quickly covered his free hand with flames and grabbed the plasma sword as if it was made of wood while stopping the other one with Balmond.

In the meantime, Verina and Anna kicked them away. Even though they were one of the strongest beings back on earth, in space... it did not seem the ladies had enough strength as their kicks barely managed to push the aggressors back.

"Get back!"

Ashton yelled pushing both the girls behind him as the humans rained plasma bolts at him. They didn't even show any consideration for their own kind who were still within their attack range. As a result, the ones who attacked Ashton with plasma swords died as a result of friendly fire.

Bullets flew everywhere following a thunderous sound. These weapons weren't anything like the ones the Giholos and the Xyrans had used. These weapons were more like a crude version of the proper energy weapons. Even then, they were deadly and tore through flesh like a hot knife through butter.

Everyone ran as far as possible in an attempt to dodge stray bullets. Irina kept struggling to free herself, but he strength wasn't enough. She couldn't do anything but watch as a hail of bullets surrounded them.

"Stop! I don't want to make a bloody paste out of them." The lady smirked as she ordered the mercenaries around, "Let the girl see her dead friends for the last time before we sell her as a slave."

A huge cloud of smoke had covered Ashton as a result of the relentless firing. However, the moment they stopped firing, something charged right out of the smoke. In an instant, the man who had been holding on to Irina was torn to pieces. While the rest of them stood there in shock.

The smirk on the lady's face was nowhere to be seen. Their careless and superior attitude evaporated in an instant when they saw Ashton covered in the blood of their comrade. It was at that moment they knew, they fucked up.

When they saw mutants, the mercenaries had thought they would be able to toy around with them and appease their bruised egos. Now, they were going to have more than just a bruised ego.

"I warned you," Ashton said in the coldest voice, "didn't I?"

Once again, Seraph's crystal and quick thinking had saved his butt. However, the humans weren't going to be so lucky. Ashton walked back with Irina's hand in his, after leaving her with her sister, he turned back with such ferocity it sent shivers down the spine of the humans.

However, before he could do anything else, one of the guards attacked him with a scythe. Ashton easily managed to block the blow, but he had his suspicion that the attack wasn't meant to harm him. He then locked eyes with his attacker. It was a red-skinned humanoid alien, with glowing yellow eyes.

"You caused quite a havoc here." She winked at him, "So, be a good boy and let me punish you."
