The Atrocious Werewolf Prince



Black spiritual energy dashed straight into the sky like a sword, giving off a terrifying presence.

"It's been some time since I last fought with junior sister Ella. I too am quite interested to know if your Mysterious Rose martial spirit has grown more refined." Said Wilson Sallow in a flat voice.

Ella knew that Wilson had been angered, and was going to use his real power. However, she was not afraid. Her hands came together as snow-white spiritual energy whizzed out, transforming into an icy rose below her feet.

This icy pretty rose was called the Cold Flower and was also a Special tier Weapon.

Ella Abella gently tapped the rose with her foot. The Cold Flower began to tremble as its petals fell off, akin to icy jade blades as they revolved around Ella Abella.

No one could see their shadows when the white jade blades moved, only the scars left behind in space itself were visible, weapons so deadly that one scalp would turn numb at this sight.

In a battle between two rankers, neither individual dared to be careless.

Their gazes clashed, iciness surging between them. A split second later, both figures shot forth as powerful spiritual energy abruptly tore up the water within a ten thousand feet radius.

In contrast to the earth-shaking duel between Wilson and Ella, Ezra and Govrin's battlefield appeared rather peaceful. Neither party was fighting with martial energy, but their martial energy shuddered between their brows, emanating mental energy that likewise shook one to the very core.

Govrin had a brush in his hand, it was striped black and white. A faint smile appeared on his handsome face as he gazed at Ezra Zephyr. He suddenly jerked his wrist, the tip of the brush lightning quick as it danced through the air.

"Grade 4 Spiritual Rune, Flame Dragon Wheel!"

A complicated rune emerged the moment his brush descended, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to be sucked towards it. The temperature rapidly rose as a dozen feet wide wheel of fire was created at the center of the rune.

Atop the wheel was a flame dragon that let out a low hiss. The water beneath their feet began to bubble and boil.

"Go!" Govrin's sleeve swung confidently as the flame dragon wheel shot forward, ripping apart the surface of the water below as it made a beeline for Ezra at an alarming speed.

Govrin's astonishing proficiency in runes was immediately revealed the moment he attacked, a grade 4 Spiritual Rune drawn and completed in a brief period of a dozen breaths. He was indeed worthy of being a ranker.

~BOOOM~

However, when the flame dragon wheel was several dozen feet from Ezra, the surface of the water suddenly broke open as an enormous water dragon emerged. With a roar, it swallowed the flaming wheel in a single gulp.

"Grade 4 Spiritual Rune, Devouring Water Dragon!" Ezra's nonchalant voice echoed as he moved a strange black brush in the air.

~PLOOP~

The water around Govrin suddenly broke apart at this moment as four roaring water dragons emerged. They dashed towards him from four directions, their mouths opening wide as they ferociously attempted to take a bite out of him.

"Drawing 4 runes in an instant…"

Govrin's pupils shrank slightly. An ordinary Devouring Water Dragon rune would only create one water dragon, but four had appeared at the same time. This meant that Ezra had drawn four grade 4 Runes in the water a split second earlier.

How much Spirit control was required in order to achieve such a feat?

"Ezra is indeed remarkable."

A grave look appeared on Govrin's face. Soon after, dazzling rays of light began to shine from his robe as complicated rune after rune slowly appeared, enveloping him like a giant golden bell.

~GONG~

The roaring water dragons smashed into the giant bell, causing a loud 'gong' to resound across the area, the powerful sound wave causing ten thousand feet high waves to rise around him.

While the earth-shaking battle was occurring above the surface, the depths of the energy reservoir seemed considerably calm in comparison.

The cubs swiftly shot past, heading straight for the trapped 1000 feet duct beast deep in the water.

However, his figure suddenly came to half after a few dozen breaths, frowning slightly as he looked up. The surface of the water was torn apart as a dozen figures shot downwards on their deadly qi.

They were the Blood Slaughterer Peak disciples Wilson Sallow had summoned.

Most of them were extremely powerful diamond belt disciples who were not the least bit inferior to the likes of Mubarak and Lopap. Hence, the look in their eyes resembled that of a cat looking at a mouse when they gazed at small cute cubs.

"Hey there mutts, you want to kill that big duct beast?"

"Scram or else there will be suffering, shu shu."

The other Blood Slaughterer Peak disciples roared with laughter.

Sköll quickly growled, he understood that time was of the essence, directly transforming into a flash of light as it shot forward. It abruptly began to grow, transforming into its sinister-looking battle mode.

~GRR~

Berserk spiritual energy undulations swept outwards like a storm.

The Blood Slaughterer Peak disciples' expressions changed drastically, terror flashing in their eyes as they shouted, "This beast is formidable, attack together!"

They had felt the pressure from Sköll's body, telling them that it was obviously no ordinary martial animal.

~SWOOSH SWISH~

Deadly spiritual energy exploded from the bodies of the disciples, seemingly covering the entire area as they blasted at Sköll.

However, the spiritual was easily blocked by the fire-like armour on Sköll's body. With a howl, Sköll charged into the group, causing chaos and mayhem for a time.

The previously high and mighty Blood Slaughterer Peak disciples were now miserably fleeing in all directions.

Hati softly chuckled as he watched the chaos. Without delaying any further, his figure moved, rapidly descending deeper into the reservoir. He eventually arrived at the location where the 1000 feet duct beast was trapped.

The cerulean cub could not help but lick his mouth at the sight of the enormous creature trapped inside the Rune boundary. Even though it was gravely injured, the pressure it gave off was extremely intense.

This was nothing like any of the duct beasts he had encountered before. Hati's mouth was drooling, intense desire flitting across his eyes.

However, he soon began to frown, feeling somewhat awkward. The 1000 feet duct beast was already right before his eyes.

***

In the depths of the energy reservoir, giant water pillar after pillar interweaved, forming a giant net that trapped the 1000 feet duct beast. It desperately struggled, its enormous body repeatedly slamming into the water net, making it bend at alarming angles.

Hati stood just outside the net, a playing expression on his face as he watched the struggling beast.

Fortunately, the grade 4 Rune boundary Govrin had clearly spent a tremendous amount of effort to set up was quite effective, and was able to withstand the repeated charges of the 1000 feet duct beast.

One must know that a grade 4 Rune boundary and a grade 4 Rune were on completely different scales.

A Rune boundary was not merely made from a single rune but numerous connected imprints of various grades, making it extremely complex. If one compared a rune to a cog, a rune boundary would be akin to a complete clock.

Hence, drawing a rune may be relatively simple, while constructing a rune boundary was very difficult.

What's more, this rune boundary of Govrin was top tier even amongst other grade 4 boundaries. Hati estimated that even someone with the strength of the early Foundation Establishment stage would be trapped by it.

It was clear that Govrin had put in a lot of effort into trapping this 1000 feet duct beast.

However, when the waters returned to calmness again, Hati grinned and opened his mouth. Icy blocks were formed and tormented it but the duct beast was persistent.

Although the beast was already in a seriously injured state, it was a powerful existence that could match a Foundation Establishment expert.

After being attacked by Hati again, the 1000 feet duct beast thrashed about agitatedly. It made a crazed charge at the net again, ramming into it again and again.

Under its mad thrashing, ripples began to appear on the water net boundary.

"Is killing it the only option?" The cerulean cub pondered with a sad face. The 1000 feet duct beast had been gravely injured by Wilson earlier, decreasing its battle power to so low that the beast was not struggling at all. The wolf named Hati only plays with the prey who struggle to survive, seeing that beast losing hope really made Hati sad.

Meanwhile, on the surface. Wilson stood atop the water as the black spear in his hand slashed downwards, creating a hundred feet long black spiritual energy that blew away the rose flower jade blades that were shooting towards him.

Giant gaping wounds seemed to be torn open on the surface of the water, only gradually being filled up again after some time.
