531 tamorphosis
Eleiney knelt on the ground, blood and flesh splattered all across the walls surrounding her. She too was covered in blood, but it wasn't hers.
The youth glanced at the corpses of the three people that she had just killed with her very hands.
"What… have I done?" She said in a trembling voice.
Her hands were now sared with the blood of the innocent, sothing she'd never thought would happen to her.
Yet, the reality was often cruel and unforgiving.
When the child had pounced at her earlier, planning to kill her, her hands moved on instincts and she ended up killing the child instead.
She didn't have much ti to wallow in her guilt as the other two deford werewolves also began attacking her. However, they were no match for her.
Eleiney dealt with them in a tily manner. Her body seed to move on its own. But now, her mind was in turmoil.
She had just killed a family of three, a family consisting of people who had probably never hard a fly in their lives. Yet, she had killed them nonetheless.
To be precise, she was forced to kill them. If she hadn't, she would have been the one to die instead.
However, her young mind could not process this.
In her eyes, the corpses in front of her didn't belong to abominations, but humans. They were people that she had interacted with during her short stay in this town.
Her shoulders trembled and pearls of tears trickled down her bloody face. She kept repeating the sa thing.
"What have I done?"
Suddenly, the main entrance to the house slamd open and Aiden barged in. Yavia followed behind him.
"Eleiney!" The youth scread in alarm, seeing her covered in blood and kneeling on the ground. He assud that his friend had been gravely injured.
However, upon closer inspection, he learned that that wasn't the case.
He was astonished by what he was seeing and couldn't help but think to himself, Did she…
Did she kill those people?
He hastily ran toward her. "Eleiney, are you hurt?" He asked.
However, the girl didn't reply.
Sensing sothing was wrong, Aiden could only look toward Yavia, hoping for an answer.
The wood spirit flew toward Eleiney and hovered in front of her face. She looked at the youth for a few monts before concluding, "She seems to be in a state of shock."
Following that, she flew forward and placed her tiny palms on the girl's forehead. Then, a warm glow enveloped the youth's head.
A few monts later, Eleiney's pupils constricted and she suddenly felt like she could breathe again.
GASP!
The girl took large mouthfuls of air, glancing at Yavia and Aiden in shock. "W-When did you get here?"
"That was dangerous, Eleiney," said Yavia in a grim tone. "If it were an enemy that ca here, you would have died a grueso death."
"Eleiney, are you okay?" Aiden knelt down before the youth, clasping her shoulders and asking in concern.
"Y-Yeah… I am," said the girl.
"We don't have ti for this," Yavia interrupted them, flying out of the house. "We need to head toward the southern gate now!"
"Let's go!" Aiden helped Eleiney up and led her outside.
Before leaving the house, she paused in her footsteps. She turned around and glanced at the fresh corpses of the family she had just killed.
Her eyes reddened and her lips quivered involuntarily.
"…I'm sorry."
She then turned back around and left the house with shaky steps and a broken heart.
Such was the way of the world.
In the shadows of war, children grew up faster than they should, becoming adults before their ti.
…
An ominous tamorphosis was taking place inside the black miasma at the center of the crater.
After those five werewolves had been reduced to blood and flesh, and rged with the miasma, an oppressive aura of energy began fluctuating from it.
It made Adam tremble at the sight of it. He couldn't help but nervously gulp, thinking to himself, I had expected the bastard to be strong… but not this strong!
THUD!
He dropped the severed heads of the deford werewolves he was holding onto the ground.
A few dozen of these creatures had managed to make it to the crater, however, Adam had efficiently dealt with all of them.
Unlike his student, however, there was not a shred of remorse in his cold, dark pupils.
He gazed at the black miasma undulating in fixed frequencies and couldn't help but beco extrely solemn. He raised his hand and pressed it forward, but sothing peculiar happened.
An invisible forcefield blocked his hand from moving forward!
It's similar to my gravity field, he thought.
But instead of a downward pull, it exerts a repulsive force instead. This bastard… he sure has everything covered…
Adam's expression turned ruthless. "No matter what life throws my way, I will never yield!"
He got into a fighting stance and gathered a large amount of mana in his palm. Then, he unleashed it all upon the barrier.
Hand of Doom: One Hit!
BOOM!
Cracks began to form on the barrier at the point of impact. However, it didn't break. Adam was astounded by the sturdiness of it.
But soon, he was even more shocked by what transpired right after.
BOOOM!!
The barrier gathered the force of Adam's attack and unleashed it back on him. The youth's eyes widened in disbelief as he flew into the air, devastated by the rebound.
He smashed threw a few buildings before his montum finally slowed down. He got to his feet and looked in the direction of the miasma.
"What… what just happened?!" He had never co across such a barrier before. It left him speechless.
He instantly realized that there was no way he could break through the barrier, and even if he did, it would take a ridiculously long ti.
Ti that he didn't have!
"Ughh…" His right hand felt numb from the rebound.
He didn't have much ti to dwell on it when he saw sothing even more bizarre happening.
All the corpses of the deford werewolves surrounding the barrier suddenly dissolved into acrid blood and burrowed inside the barrier.
Then, it slithered toward the center of the crater and rged with the black miasma!
Seeing this take place, Adam was helpless and couldn't help but curse inwardly, Damn it, I should have stored those corpses inside the earring!
A qualitative transformation occurred inside the miasma, causing a strong wave of energy to ripple outward in all directions.
The formation of the vessel was complete!
The black miasma slowly dissipated and a towering figure slowly landed on the ground. He scanned the surroundings with his piercing crimson eyes before finally, his gaze landed on Adam.
Stratford's lips curled up into a malevolent smile and he growled.
"You're dead, Magus!"
