71 Launes change (1/2)

Desolate Forest

Within a small valley the preparations were finished for the upcoming battle.

Shadow stood before the valley entrance leading into the wolfs home, a little rabbit jumped out of a small hole in the ground. ”Boss, I have done what you asked.”

”Good.” Shadow nodded before turning her head to see the approaching figure. ”So you finally made it.”

Laune stepped towards Shadow, unlike some time ago she no longer looked like her weak self.

After bathing in blood during cultivation and constant combat training she had left behind her noble and graceful temperament.

Now she gave off a more reserved and restrained feeling which showed how she had trained hard to restrain her emotions and her races ferocious nature.

Her body no longer looked as weak as it once was, constant limit training and regular healthy meals had helped greatly to improve her stamina and strength.

In fact her body seemed to contain a lot more vitality than an ordinary spirit beast thanks to the cultivation manual she had been using.

Laune bowed her head towards the deer infront of her. ”Yes master I have arrived.”

”Good, then we should begin. Martis you may speak now.” Shadow looked towards a nearby bush where the small grass snake was hidden.

The small snake slithered down the branches on the bush and approached. ”Yes milady, the scouts have explored the valley. The clan of wolves are small in size, their numbers should be 13 in total. The leader is an old wolf, out of the 13 beasts only 7 of them have become spirit beasts which could become a potential threat at this time. They have 2 spirit beast wolves keeping lookout within the valley, at the end of the valley is where the rest of the wolves live.”

”Very good, with this we have a good idea of our enemy. 7 are capable of putting up a fight, a favourable environment for battle and with our preparations we could easily use many things to gain a quick end to the fight. Ambushes, use of the valley, poison attacks but this time is not about gaining victory. This is a test for Laune, we have laid down the preparations and I trust that with her training she can make use of everything to be able to fight alone.” Shadow looked towards Laune as she spoke.

The wolves had been scouted, their lack of vigilence could easily be used to let the hidden division ambush and poison them before they could put up a fight.

Although many beasts had been in combat and killed others, Laune had lead a sheltered life.

She had no real combat experience and had never truly been in any real danger until her clan was nearly wiped out.
