Chapter 285 - The Forbidden Zone (2/2)

But as she looked at the unfazed expression on his face, she realised something. So far, everything they had said about the rumours were true. Abilities which defied common sense, a presence akin to that of an invisible leaf, a vibe cold and dark enough to send chills down ones spine.

Now would be the best time to see what he see his abilities, if he was indeed the one she was looking for. She hadn't been able to properly see it before, it all happened in the flash. Even now, all she remembers is half of the leader's body disappearing.

Or rather, that was what she remembered, but something was strange and off about that time. A lot of things, but she didn't know what it was.

'I'll watch for now, if things get bad, I'll try to find a way for us to escape.'

While keeping a moderate distance from behind she watched as the young man stood and waited in for the monster to come.

The closer they got the more anxious she became, but right when they were only a few trees away. Everything stopped. A hollow silence followed right after. It was as if they were never there in the first place.

”...What? Where did they-”

Suddenly, she felt her heart sink as a trunk of tree flew right by her and with a sudden breeze, it crashed into the nearby tree, breaking it in half and causing it to fall over as it did so.

As she saw this, she quickly leapt back, only to realise feel the little hair on her body rise up as she felt goosebumps go past.

Subconsciously, she quickly turned back mid-air, only to see a wolf with it's mouth open flying straight towards her.

There was no time to chant, she was heading straight to it's mouth.

*Pierce*

Blood spurted throughout the cold dense snow-filled ground as it was dyed in a blood red once again.

The girl's eyes were open wide as she watched blood drip down from the wolf's snowy pelt. It was a large wolf with beautiful snowy pelt which could be sold for high prices on the market. A large jaw razor sharp canine. Many referred to it as the great wolf.

But there it rested, on top of a large ice spike with blood dripping out of its mouth, in a single second.

A loud howl resounded from around her as this happened, so without wasting any more time staring at the wolf, she quickly turned to the young man to see how he was holding up and as she did, she couldn't believe her eyes.

He was surrounded by six great wolves, all charging in at him. There were also another two around her, keeping their distance. They seemed to be wary due to the recent death of the wolf in front of her.

She used this opportunity, to start prepare a chant. And as it was being prepared, she made sure to keep her attention focused both on the wolves and the young man.

Because of that, she got to observe something which shook her being to its very core.

Icy crystals dyed in the colour of the wolves' blood, could be seen all around them. Once again, the peaceful sight of the snow, was replaced with the bone chilling sight of blood.
