*Shendar - Vitamor’s POV*

It has been a few weeks since I was reunited with Dani and we had our amazing night together. I had checked the notifications that I received from the slaughter that I had done, from what I was told. When I saw these notifications I was kind of pissed yet kind of shocked at the same time.

Congratulations! You have unlocked a new skill! [Wrath of the Asura]

[Wrath of the Asura] – Ability to unlock the powers of the Asura. Current rank unlocks the powers of a God Rank Cultivator. Can only be used in a case of extreme emotion, mainly rage.

Congratulations! You have unlocked a new title! Asura of Destruction*

*Title unusable at current power and magic rank.

Congratulations! You have reached level 9!*

Congratulations! You have received 10 stat points!

*Experience has been reduced from kills during [Wrath of the Asura]

I was shocked at the new skill and the new title that I received and the shock I received when I showed the girls was even greater. They saw the new skill and title and looked at each other with a complex expression on their faces. When I asked them what was wrong they told me what happened when I had passed out. I honestly nearly shit a brick, I kid you not. Out of the notifications the one that pissed me off was the note under the levels and stat points gained. After clicking on the note I was shown another notification.

Kills gained under the [Wrath of the Asura] give out a quarter of the experience that would normally be given. The reason for this is to balance the benefit of the sudden jump in power levels.

I was happy for the increase of two levels, but when I found out that the experience I gained was reduced by a quarter, I was a little pissed. I could have possibly been at level 13 or more based on the calculations I did in my head. Not going to go into the math involved in that, because it made me even more mad just doing the calculations. Since I received those notifications though I haven’t spent the stat points yet and we have been clearing out a few of the lower level red zones.

We actually ran across one or two red zones with some races that were willing to cooperate with the draconians. They were actually a race of orcs, this race I was surprised at being cooperative, and the other race was a tribe of cat people. They have an official name, but I can’t remember what they called themselves because I was too busy drooling over some of the women of the tribe. I will have to ask the girls about what they were called later.

We have been avoiding the red zones that had scouts at the Immortal level, because that meant that they had a Demi-God, or higher, as their leader. Over the weeks I hadn’t really gained any more levels and this was mainly due to trying to get Dani to level up her magic rank and level. Just the other day she finally got her power rank up to S Rank. I finally found out how many spells where needed to differentiate between the S ranks. An S Rank has to know and be able to execute, without much thought, at least five spells. SS Rank has to be able to use ten spells without much thought, and SSS Rank has to be able to use twenty-five, without much thought process.

Basically if someone can cast five spells without thinking about each spell for more than a split second they are an S Rank, ten spells they are an SS Rank, and twenty-five spells for SSS Rank. Someone is able to become an Immortal Rank in magic when they can blend two or more elements together and either create a multi-element spell or just cast one that has already been created. People over the Immortal Rank in magic are fewer in number than the cultivators by quite a bit. Out of all the Immortals probably one in six are magic users.

Cultivation is by far the easier route compared to magic, hence most people will go down that route. The harder the route though the greater the rewards; an Immortal Magic user can, and most of the time are, stronger than an Immortal Cultivator. Magic users can control the elements in any form and that includes the element of an Immortal Cultivators Ki. If a an Immortal Cultivator that uses a fire based Ki goes against a magic user with the fire element the cultivator will lose, unless the cultivator is a rank higher than the magic user.

The reason for this is the magic user can manipulate the element of their element in the cultivators Ki and cause them to be unable to use their Ki to the maximum or even at all. This type of difference in strength causes most cultivators to be followed by a magic user partner or become the foot soldier of some sort of organization. Lone cultivators don’t make it very far in the universes. You do have the rare case of someone doing both magic and cultivation at the same time. These individuals usually have a harder time leveling up their ranks, but they are far more powerful than those at the same rank who only do one or the other.

Enough of the lecture and more of the fun, Dani has managed to become an S rank in magic while I am on the SS Power Rank, instead of the S Power Rank I originally thought I was. I have also managed to cultivate my Ki up to the point that I can exude an aura which puts me at the SSS Cultivation Rank. I was finally able to sense the aura that the girls said I had during the massacre of the Minotaurs. It was honestly pretty horrible, being that my respective element is Destruction my Ki Aura had a highly evil feel to it. Zellfina, who is an Immortal Rank in magic, was finding it hard to breath and she was standing about twenty yards away from me.

I don’t really want to exude my aura if I don’t have to because it is just too mess up. Once my Ki’s element is spread throughout my body and I am able to use the element in my attacks I will have achieved Immortal Rank and my body will no longer age. I can still die from an attack or poison, but other than that I can live forever. I haven’t been able to use the element in my attacks yet, but I have spread it out through my body. I have been told that using the element in an attack is the hardest thing for a cultivator to do, so I am not really too upset about it.

My [Dragon Scale Body] has leveled up some and is almost at the point of perfection, I just haven’t been able to achieve the [Half-Dragon Form]. I am able to get scales across every part of my body and the last thing I need to do is just figure out how to achieve the final part. My other skills have only gone up by a couple of levels increasing their attack damage by quite a bit. I haven’t created or learned any new spells so my magic rank hasn’t really advanced any. I have been mainly concentrating on my cultivation so that may have something to do with it.

Zellfina is basically the same as usual; the beautiful and mature queen just follows along wherever I take us on the continent. Camellia has become kind of awkward when she is around me. I have my suspicions as to why, but I want to let her come around on her own. Kira has seemed to have lost her personality for some reason, she has went into full servant mode and she doesn’t know what I am talking about when I ask her about it.

We have been traveling for most of the day and finally run across another red zone. We slow our pace down a bit and go on alert, Kira moves back quite a distance away from us and covers our six. Camellia watches our left and Zellfina watches our right, while Dani and I continue to scan ahead of us. We have been able to coordinate ourselves quite well, whether it is in a fight or just watching our surroundings and we haven’t been snuck up on yet. I was honestly surprised at how easy Dani was able to kill things and I am not talking about her strength, but mentally.

Usually someone from earth wouldn’t be able to contemplate killing things as easily as she has. It’s a good thing so I am not too worried about it, but it did shock me when I saw her calmly kill a random wolf person that wanted to try and snack on us. Speaking of I need to ask Zellfina what the names of the races we ran across are.

I look back towards her and ask her, she thinks about it for a minute before speaking, “Well honestly all of the beast people have the word “Were” in front of whatever beast they are. So the wolf people are Werewolves, the cat people are Werecats, the fox people are Werefoxes, and so on. They are able to transform into a full on beast mode of sorts when they need to during battle.”

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

I had to ask her a question that may seem stupid, but I wanted to know, “Do they have their respective reproductive parts during this beast mode?” Zellfina stopped walking and had a complex look on her face, “I don’t know why you care, but yes, they have their reproductive parts during their transformation.” I stopped walking and turned to look at her while speaking, “Now don’t get me wrong I am not thinking of anything kinky or whatnot, but back on earth they are portrayed as genderless every time they transform, when in reality they should have a dick hanging down low if they are a guy and some breasts up top if they are a woman. They are still in a humanoid form so those shouldn’t go away.”

Camellia turned red and Dani was just watching our surroundings while Zellfina started to laugh. After laughing for a few minutes she finally spoke again, “Don’t worry, all of the beast people during their transformation are more humanoid in shape than beast. They are basically a really furry human with claws. So the women still have their giant bosoms that you love so much.” She said the last part with a mischievous smile on her face. I shook my head and looked towards Dani, who just winked at me, while Camellia looked like a tomato.

I sighed, “Let’s keep moving and see what is in this red zone.” Dani and Zellfina smiled at each other while Camellia was looking at the ground. We continued on our way exploring the red zone. After another thirty minutes of exploring we made contact with something. It was actually a werewolf, but this time it didn’t just attack us on site it actually walked over towards us.

I used [Identify] on him and saw that he was a SSS Rank which meant that his leader was probably at the Immortal Rank. He didn’t have a shirt on so we could see his bulging muscles all over his upper body. I still get surprised at how human they look when they aren’t transformed. The only reason I know he is a werewolf without using [Identify] is because of the ears and tail. He calmly made his way over to us and stopped right in front of our group before speaking, “What are you doing in our territory weakling human.”

I could literally hear Dani growl like a dog right next to me when he insulted me, before she could do anything I calmed her down. The werewolf found it quite amusing and tried not to laugh before he spoke again, “The puny human has to have his elf slut defend him, how funny.” Before he could continue speaking I had grabbed him by the throat and slammed him up against the nearest tree lifting him a few feet off the ground.

His eyes were wide and staring at me while trying to pry my hand loose. I was circulating my Ki into my arms and hands increasing my strength. I was probably equal to him in strength without my Ki, but when I circulate it through my arms it increases it by quite a bit witch is allowing me to overpower him. I literally growled at him while speaking, “You can insult me all you want dog, but you insult any of my women again and I will rip your throat out do you understand?”

His eyes were still wide as he slowly nodded his head. I smiled at him, “Good boy.” I threw him down on the ground and then walked back towards the girls. The werewolf coughed a few times before glaring at me and then howling loudly. I sighed and looked at the girls, “Well we are going to have some friends to play with here in a minute.”

The girls just smiled at me and didn’t really say much, I looked back over at the werewolf who was still crouched down on the ground. After a few seconds there were more than ten werewolves gathered up around the one on the ground. I used [Identify] and was shocked to find that two of them were the Immortal Rank. I looked towards the two Immortals and spoke to them, “Are you two the leader of this tribe?” The both didn’t say anything, but they did shake their heads. Before I could speak again I heard someone speak from behind the group, “No that would be me, human.” The wolves spread apart and made way for a very sexy female werewolf.

The werewolf woman had silver hair with a pair of black ears perched on top of her head and her eyes where white as well. She had full lips and an hour glass shaped body. Her bust had to have been a DD cup at least and her butt was very plump. There was a black tail coming out just above her butt that had a silver streak running down it. She walked towards our group swaying her hips which caused her tail to swish from side to side, the site was honestly kind of mesmerizing.

She stood right in front of our group with the other werewolves right behind her. I used [Identify] on her and discovered that she was an Immortal Rank along with a SSS Power Rank. Basically her strength was at that of an Immortal beast and she could use magic. This is almost as bad as her being a Demi-God Rank. She stared right at me and then spoke towards me, “May I ask why you attacked one of my pack?”

I remained calm and answered her, “You’re pack member needs better manners. He was lucky that all he did was verbally insult one of my mates; otherwise you would have been down one pack member.” The only reason I can be semi-cocky in front of her is because I have killed a few Immortal Ranked beasts and even though she uses Magic she can’t use my element so I can use my Ki to my full abilities. That is one of the good things about the destruction element, unless you can use the element in your Ki you can’t use the element in your magic and from what I know nobody except me has the destruction element.

The beautiful werewolf just smiled at me and then looked at her wolf, “Is what he says true did you insult his mate?” The werewolf stood there and started to stumble over his worlds, “Well I didn’t really insult her… that much.” I instantly got pissed and lost my cool a little releasing a little bit of my aura, “Didn’t insult her that much? Since when has calling a woman a slut been considered not much?” All of the werewolves including the sexy leader found it hard to breath under the pressure of my destructive aura. The woman was looking at me with interest and a small tinge of fear, while the other werewolves behind her were almost pissing themselves.

I pulled my aura back and calmed myself down by doing a few deep breaths. The female leader continued to stare at me for a few minutes before speaking again, “If he really has insulted your mate like you said he has, you are free to do with him what you want.” The male werewolf beside her started to shake again. I looked straight in her eyes and spoke, “I have already warned him once that if it happened again I would rip his throat out.” I looked straight at the werewolf in question and spoke to him, “So it better not happen again.” Seeing as his leader already put his life in my hand and that he was terrified of the aura I released a second ago he just nodded his head vigorously.

I smiled at him, “Good boy.” This brought a small laugh from Dani and Zellfina. Even though Zellfina is at the Immortal Power Rank I can beat her in a fight so I am the leader of our little group. Others may not see that right at first, but this werewolf leader did and I was a little interested as to how. She seemed to sense what I was thinking somehow as I didn’t even have to ask her before she spoke, “You’re wondering how I knew to talk to you aren’t you?”

I smiled at her and nodded my head, “Yeah actually I am.” She grinned at me and explained, “It was quite simple really, even though the draconian is obviously a couple ranks higher than you in magic, you are also a cultivator at the SSS Rank. Granted I was speculating your actual cultivation rank, but when you released your aura I could finally see what your Cultivation Rank really is. With your powerful aura and your rank in magic you could probably beat her in a fight as long as she doesn’t use your element and based off the feeling I got from your aura it is an extremely rare element.”

So far what she was saying made sense and was pretty much spot on. I nodded my head, “You could say that.” She smiled and continued speaking, “I honestly couldn’t even guess what your element is, but I will say one thing. I have never in all of the years I have travelled this continent held any amount of fear towards anything’s aura, except for yours. Your aura made me feel like everything including the air around me was being destroyed.”

I let out a little snort before I spoke, “You could say that it really was.” A glint flashed across her eyes and she didn’t say anything else. We stood there in awkward silence before she spoke again, “So what exactly are you here for?” I didn’t answer her immediately but I did look her up and down a few times before I did, “Well we are going around getting the races of the continent to cooperate with the draconians so they can start to move onto the continent.” She didn’t say anything for a minute as if she was thinking about something. When she did she asked in a serious tone, “And what are you doing when the races don’t want to cooperate?”

I looked her straight in the eye and answered without thinking about it, “Wiping them out.” She didn’t react much to what I said, but the wolves behind her started to growl at me and the werewolf who insulted Dani earlier spoke up, “One human and a couple whores are wiping out the races on the continent? I find that hard to believe.” I squinted my eyes at the werewolf and used [Blink], appearing right in front of him. He widened his eyes in surprised, but before he could do anything I griped his throat and ripped it out, then I blinked back to where I was standing.

The werewolf leader and her subordinates where all starting at the dying werewolf lying on the ground. I can understand the other werewolves, but the leader should know my strength so why is she surprised. She looked back at me and spoke, “How can you use space magic? Your element is obviously not space.” It all makes sense now; I forget that I am special with my [Mana Manipulation] trait. I just looked at her and shrugged, “Not everybody is right about everything you are right that my element isn’t space though.” She was even more confused, “Then how can you use magic that don’t belong to your element so easily without being an Immortal Rank?”

I shrugged my shoulders and spoke, “Nothing is impossible with effort and just because people say that you can’t use spells outside of your element doesn’t mean they are right. Hell in order to become an Immortal Magic user someone has to combine two elements together. If you could only use one type of element then there wouldn’t be any Immortals, granted using an element other than your own is very, very difficult.”

She scoffed at me, “I knew that much, but that doesn’t answer my question. How could you use a spell that wasn’t your element like it was?” I smiled at her, “That is my secret.” She was starting to get a little irritated and I could tell by the way the hair on her tail was starting to stand up. So I decided to change the subject, “Now since your werewolf didn’t head my warning and insulted my mates again I punished him like I said I would and that is that, but it doesn’t answer the main question. Are you going to cooperate with the draconians?”

The female werewolf thought about it for a second before answering, “My tribe is one of strength and they follow the one who is the strongest, so if you can beat me in a fight then we will cooperate with the draconians.” I smiled at her and spoke again, “Well at least you are being more civil about it than some other groups we ran across.” She smiled and spoke again, “Well we may be part beast, but we aren’t savages.” I laughed at this before I pulled out one of my sword. The werewolves instantly went on guard, but I just laughed again and walked towards the other direction.

I gripped my sword circulating my Ki into it, and then I swung it through the air horizontally. The force I generated from the swing blasted away the trees in a good American football field sized area. I stored the sword back into my [Room] and walked to one side of the field I just made. I looked back over to the group of werewolves who were staring at the area I just cleared with wide eyes. I just laughed and looked at the leader before speaking, “Well you coming?”

She shook her head quickly and then walked to the opposite side of the field. I watched her walk her way over to her spot and I couldn’t help, but enjoy the view, especially the tail that was swishing back and forth over her plumb ass. I swallowed some saliva and looked her in the eye before I asked her a question, “I never did get your name by the way.” Which is true, I was mainly looking at her ranks when I used [Identify] on her. She looked me in the eye and smiled, “My name is Sylvia mind telling me yours?”
