11 Village Troubles part 2 (2/2)
Unfortunately, the elder spoke too soon.At a distance of 100 ft from the elder a massive Cat was stalking his way towards the chief's son.It was fairly easy to determine the level of beast as most of them had distinct characteristics.For example in the case of the bear that attack Rahz in addition to the size of the beast being bigger the higher the level, their fur will start changing color towards the next evolution.
The elder knew extremely well the characteristics of the Frostsaber trying to attack Bhirl.Frostsabers were a favorite of the Beastlords in the village due to their majesty and elegance.
As a warder pet, the cat family was highly sought after due to their ferocity and their ability to deal high burst of damage at higher levels.
After observing the Frostsaber for a few seconds, he was able to determine that it had 8 stripes along his body representing an 8 level of cultivation.The distance between the saber and Bhirl was way too close.He had notice the beast too late and even if his Level was way higher than the Frostsaber, he couldn't make it in time.
Bhirl was oblivious to the imminent danger he was in.
The Frostsaber determined he was within range for a successful kill and activated dash increasing his speed by 20%.
The Elder desperately activated the spell spirit of the wolf further increasing his speed by 20% and rush towards Bhirl.Not knowing what else he could do to alert the young lord, he howled as hard as he could.
The past 2 days in the forest had provided Bhirl with enough combat experience to realize that danger was coming his way.He had just assumed a battle position when he felt a cold air coming towards his back.He tried to turn as quickly as he could while activating Strengthen Defense to offset some of the damage but it was a joke.
How could a level 5 strengthen Defense be compare to the attack power of a level 8 Frostsaber's claw.The timely turn of his body manage to deflect one if the claws with part of the shield but the other one stroke him in the chest.
CRACK!! TEAR!!!!
The sound of broken bones was heard followed by the distinct sound of fabric tearing.Bhirl flew backwards 11 ft and tumble across the floor.His shield flew from his hand and he was defenseless against the Frostsaber.
The only thing that kept him from passing out was the excruciating pain coming from his chest.When he look down, Bhirl was able to see his bones before the blood started to flow from the 4 ravines on his chest.
Bhirl was a follower of Yuna the Goddess of Justice as such the increase cell regeneration from the blessing will help him overcome this injury, all he need it was time.Time that the Frostsaber would definitely not give him.
Inadvertently being push back about 11 feet saved his life.As the Frostsaber dash in for the kill,it was stop in his tracks by a powerful bubble that warded Bhirl from the attacks of the Beast.Elder Wolf was a level 15 Shaman and his Ancestral ward could withstand a full hit from a LVL 15 beastbefore breaking, the Ward was something that a level 8 Frostsaber could never break with one attack.
The elder quickly cast the Healing spell rejuvenation on Bhirl and turned his attention to the beast.Realizing that this new enemy was not somebody the Frostsaber could take on, it decided to flee.
The Frostsaber turn around and try to run for it but very soon it found out that its speed had slowed down.The elder used Icy Winds to decreased the speed of the Frostsaber by 30% but the Cold resistance of the beast managed to decrease the amount of the slow.Despite the Saber's resistance, the cold still crept into its bones.
Taking this opportunity, the elder called upon Keres the fly, the spirit of rot and disease, forming a weak bond.Through this bond, The elder casted the spell Rot Flesh onto the Frostsaber.This spell call upon Flesh eating bacteria to eat away flesh and muscle of the recipient.Once the spell landed, it started consuming skin and muscle in real time.The flesh eating bacteria only had a life span of 30 seconds but the amount of flesh it could eat was quite impressive.Higher levels of the spell increased the concentration of bacteria and the strength.
Unfortunately for the Frostsaber the difference in level was too big.Some of the skin and flesh started falling in little pieces while others disappeared out of thin air.Blood ooze out of the wounds as well as pus.It was a very gruesome sight, every 5 seconds the bacteria would digest and take another bite eating as much as it could.After everything was set and done, all it was left behind was a half eaten carcass.
Seeing the carcass of the Frostsaber fall to the ground finally gave the elder a minute of respite.Elder wolf turned around to check on Bhirl when suddenly a feeling of danger assailed him...
