Chapter 367 - The alpha (1/2)

Currently, Jack was trapped underneath the Dem mansion. He had been tied up with Galthrium chains that were cuffed to the wall - It was too durable for him to break free. However, as of the moment, the guards including his father, just stood there all the while stunned.

As the mage attempted to attach a contract onto Jack, he was suddenly propelled into the air and sent flying backwards - It was something they had never seen happen before.

”Did the contract fail?!” Russel shouted. ”But how is that possible?”

The contract that the mage was about to put onto Jack was a slave contract. Once the magic seal had been created and imported onto the person's body, it would enforce the commands of the owner of the contract on the contractee.

A strange power would dominate their senses and if they tried to resist, they would be met with pain. Disobeying an order was almost impossible, so the use of slave contracts had been banned by most kingdoms.

The seal that they put on him was very difficult to break. The only way to break the links was to find a mage more powerful than the one who had created the seal. With the rarity of mages, and these very people not wanting to get on the bad side of others, this was almost an impossible task.

Right now though, for the first time, the bestowment of a contract seal was unsuccessful. What the others didn't know was it was because Jack was already under a contract - It was more powerful than the one that was attempted to be incorporated in his body.

”Try again. We can't waste anymore.” Although the seal was unsuccessful, when the mage had attempted to put on the seal, he felt a little pain in his body. Truthfully, Jack didn't want to feel that again.

This time, the mage opted to move cautiously, step by step, towards Jack.

”What are you doing?” Russell shouted. ”Hurry up! He's chained, so he can't do anything to you.”

As the mage got closer, Jack continued to pull on the chains. Then slowly, his body was starting to transform. All the while his muscles bulged, swelling beyond a human's capability, fur began to grow on every inch of his skin.

Seeing this, the mage immediately darted out of the room. They had seen creatures like this before, but never a werewolf of this size.

When Jack's transformation was finally completed, he pulled as hard as he could. At that moment, the cuffs that confined him on the wall soon broke.

”My word.” Russell said, staring at Jack. ”He's an alpha wolf. We have to do everything we can to capture him. He will be worth a fortune!” Russell commanded.

In that instant, four of the yellow knights entered the room. Jack tried to fend them off with his one free hand, but the chain holding down his hand was heavy. Thus, it was hard for him to move as freely as he wanted to.

Jack blocked one of the spears that was thrown at him. However, another one was catapulted, aiming right for his chest. As it landed on his body, it managed to pierce his tough hide. Forthwith, blood began to trickle down from the hole that was made - A totally rare occurrence for Jack.

The weapons that were being used were made from high tier beasts. Furthermore, the knights were no small fries. With each strike, they made sure to utilize their Ki as well.

Seeing the problem he was in, Jack had no choice but to run. Since the chains were removed, he would be able to deal with them easier. Withal, he was presently not in a situation where he could take the time to hesitate. Also, it's most likely that reinforcements are on their way.

He gathered his strength one more time and tugged on his other hand as hard as he could, pulling the chain links and cuff off of the wall.

”The beast is free!” The guard shouted. ”We need back up immediately.”

Just then, the sound of footsteps running down the stairs resounded in the vicinity. Heeding to Jack's assumption, more guards were called to put him down.
