Chapter 334 - Lycans of Ancient Times (1) (1/2)
(Regaleon's POV)
”Atlantian sc.u.m!” A voice came out from the largest one at front. It had a black majestic fur. ”And I thought they have gotten extinct. Who would have thought a handful of them will come in our territory.”
All of us were frozen stiff hearing tangible words coming out from the wolf.
”Y-Your majesty. T-The wolf… it just talked.” Alex said with bewilderment.
”After everything I have witnessed these past few days, I do not know why I am still surprised with this.” I said while unsheathing my sword from its scarab. ”Sirens, dragons, and now this… talking wolves.”
”Who are you calling talking wolves, Atlantian sc.u.m?!” A gray wolf snarled ferociously at us. ”We are proud lycans. Never associate us with animals.”
”Lycans?” I said out loud. 'That name sounds familiar.' I thought.
”Hush your mouth Grey.” The black majestic one which is the biggest of them snarled at the gray one. It whimpered down after hearing the black lycan's words. ”You, the one with black hair. Are you the leader of these Atlantian humans?”
”Yes, I am.” I replied without letting my guard down. I can feel the intense pressure coming from the black one.
If these were normal wolves, then the black one who is the biggest must be their leader, the Alpha. All the others are rallying behind him and listens to his words. With him in the lead of the pack of these big creatures, I believe he calls the shots.
”I do not wish to engage in battle with you, or any humans for that matter. And I specifically do not like Atlantians.” The black one said. ”We are living here in peace, away from human eyes. I suggest you leave our territory peacefully. We will turn a blind eye that your group invaded our territory.”
At least they are not entirely hostile, but we cannot just leave this place without finding the key fragment.
”I appreciate your gesture, but if you can at least give us some time to find something we need, then we will gladly get out of your territory.” I replied as courteously as possible.
I would like to get past this problem without any violence as much as possible. My men has been injured by them immensely, and engaging them in combat will only add to more casualties that I do not want to have.
”You are clearly mistaken of you think I am asking for a favor, Atlantian.” The black one started to snarl, his fur started to stand on his back. ”I am not asking you, I am telling you to leave!”
When the black one started to snarl, all the others behind him followed. Me and my men were one hundred percent on guard, our swords all ready to defend in case an attack comes.
”I do not wish to fight also. But we are here to search for something that is very important.” I said with my own voice that was filled with authority. ”We will not leave until we get the thing we are here for.”
I stood my ground with my men on my flanks. I was ready to engaged in battle if that is what is needed to get the key fragment that is hidden here.
”Then I think this talk is over.” The black one said. ”Get ready to be slaughtered here! AWOOO!!!”
The black ones howl pierced the night, he dashed towards us. The other lycans followed their alpha without any word, they were all racing towards us baring their teeth and fangs.
”All of you, get ready!” I told my men with a loud cry.
These enemies are not the one we normally fight, and so we need to be more vigilant and careful or else we can lose our lives. This situation is similar to the fight with the sirens, fighting something we do not know of.
'Wait, like the sirens.' I thought. 'Come to think of it the name 'lycans', I think I have read it in one of the ancient books. It looks like they are one of those ancient monsters the Almighty One fought in ancient times.'
Thinking about this, it answers the question why they loath Atlantians. It is because the human race that the Ancient One gifted magic powers. They were the humans that defeated the ancient monsters that roamed this continent in ancient times.
