Hi the author here. Sorry for the inactivity. RL sort of got out of wack but now I am on winter break so hopefully I will be posting more. If you have any questions or comments...Go Nuts.
----------------------------------------
In the desolated street, the Stone Prince was looking down at Lance with arrogance and haughtiness in his eyes. After he saw Lance dodge so frantically after he released his skill, it looked at Lance with disdain.
The Stone Prince held his head high like all other beings were below him. Truly befitting the royal name it was given. The wolves beside the Prince were still glaring at Lance however, they didn't dare to charge without their boss's command.
Lance stood up and looked at the damage of the Prince once again. He looked over the amount of stone spikes that were now a part of the landscape. The spikes stopped a few feet passed the position he was in.
Unfortunately, Lance didn't know if the distance was because of a limit on how far he could move or if it didn't matter at all. Magic was truly going to be a problem now and in the future.
He has no prior knowledge or any information at all regarding magic. It is a whole new field that was thrown at him with no time to prepare. If he doesn't understand the core concepts of magic, he will not be able to survive long in this New World.
But how can you understand something that can make anything out of nothing? Also, it was far more destructive than any blade and probably any gun. Lance complained in his heart but there is nothing he could do. He'll just have to figure it out later.
Lance looked up at the three enemies before him. Two lvl 9 and one lvl 13. This situation was definitely a lot more difficult than anything that he has faced so far.
"Well, so far you only really fought two and a half times, so that is not saying much." Chao said as he chuckled. "There are going to be so many more enemies for you."
Lance glanced at Chao and sighed. "Whatever, lets just focus on finishing this fight now. Let's just follow the plan."
Chao adopted a serious expression as he nodded his head in agreement. Lance closed his eyes and took in a deep breath as he tightened his grip on his sword. He released his breath and his eyes shot opened as he started to charge towards the rubble hill.
The Stone Prince growled, signaling for his two subordinates to stay and protect him. It might see Lance as a inferior insect, but it can not deny the fact that four wolves died from Lance and Chao.
Chao flew towards the prince, but, seeing that the other wolves were taking defensive positions, he stopped in the air, observing to see if he can find an opening.
The Stone Prince, seeing Lance charging directly at him, howled once again. Lance hearing the howl was instantly wary and focused all his attention on the wolf and his surroundings.
The rubble started to tremble and rumble as spikes started to appear once again. Chao looked down as the spikes were approaching Lance. From his height, he could see everything on the battlefield clearly. 'Lance, the spikes are only moving in a straight line, if you just move to the right or left then you will be fine.' Chao messaged.
Lance was shocked after hearing Chao's message. Was it really that simple? Lance then jumped towards the right and charged once again. The wolf glared at Lance as it continued to send waves of spikes at Lance.
Now that Lance knows there is nothing truly special about the spikes, he continued to jump right and left, weaving back and forth up the hill. Lance was ecstatic knowing the fact that the spell was so simple. He felt a surge of confidence well up inside him. Maybe magic might not be a problem after all.
What Lance doesn't take into consideration however is the fact that the spell the Prince is using is one of the simplest spells in the world. There is no need to control it since the spell only travels in one direction. The spell only has destructive properties and that is all.
The Stone Prince might be a much higher level then Lance, but compared to the rest of the world, it is bottom tier. Even humans, if they chose or were a given a magic class will learn basic spells at level 10. The Stone Prince being at level 13 was not much stronger.
The only spells that Lance has seen are from Chao and the Stone Prince. Chao's magic is much stronger and better than the Prince because Chao is formed from an evolved being. They are naturally stronger then normal creatures or humans and Chao's spells gain a Chaotic buff.
The capabilities of magic and spells will only continue to grow more frightening as the strength of the user increases. The possibilities are truly endless.
Lance looked up to the wolves, killing intent flashed in his eyes. The two silver fangs looked in Lance's eyes and took step back from fear. However, that fear was short lived as they heard the prince snarl in anger at their fear.
The wolves, hearing the Prince, shuddered as they imagined what the Prince would do to them if they ran. That fear completely overshadowed the sliver of fear they felt from Lance.
The silver fangs bared their fangs and immediately pounced at Lance. They were angry from the fact that the Prince was angry at them just because of this human.
Lance rolled to the side to dodge the two wolves. The wolves landed and snarled at Lance. They slowly moved around Lance, ready to strike at any moment. Lance prepared himself to quickly take out the beasts.
Chao seeing that Lance has fulfilled his part of the plan used this opportunity to fly at the Prince. The Prince seeing something move in the corner of his eye, jolted his head straight at Chao giving Chao his undivided attention.
The Stone Prince howled as 6 medium sized clumps of stone and rubble floated in the air around it. The balls of stone then flew towards Chao all at once. Chao had a trace of surprise on his face as he saw the spell being formed. The surprise soon turned into a smile as he maneuvered his body to dodge the rocks.
Chao had much more control and maneuverability then the Rock ball spell had, so dodging for him was extremely simple. The Stone Prince was caught off guard from the little man's movements. Before it could react quick enough, Chao appeared and stopped right in front of its face.
Chao's face appearing in front the Prince's made it jump back a little in surprise and shock. It's eyes couldn't help but look at Chao seeing as they were face to face. Chao's eyes turned into red and purple spirals pulling the wolf's sanity and conscientiousness into another realm.
Stone's prince was in a daze as it's mind was trapped in Chao's illusion. 'Hurry up with them, I can only hold this illusion for five minutes' Chao messaged Lance quickly. Chao had to focus all of his attention on the illusion.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Chao's/Lance's level was just too low so this was all he could do at this point in time. Chao were just too weak to show the true power of his illusions.
Hearing the urgency from Chao, Lance activated his Analyze skill. Lance saw the red line from the wolves' sight. The silver fang behind Lance pounced at his back. Seeing the red line shift up, Lance turned around and swung his sword at the silver fang.
Fear filled the silver fang eyes, it could not dodge out of the way during mid pounce. Blood spurted from its eyes as it yelped in pain while it fell on its side. Both wolves started to tremble as fear started to overtake them.
Lance didn't let this moment go to waste as it ran to the wolf he had just blinded. He crouched down and sliced it throat. Blood poured out of its throat and the wolf couldn't even make any noise before the flames of life were extinguished forever.
Seeing its comrade mercilessly killed right before its eyes, the last silver fang was frozen in fear. Lance stood up and ran towards the last wolf. The wolf tried its best to retain control of its body but it couldn't stop trembling.
Lance stopped right before the wolf and swung his blade with all of his strength down at the wolf. The sword sliced through the silver fangs neck and stopped three fourths of the way through the body. However, the wound was enough to claim the life of the wolf. The light in its eyes slowly dimmed before pitch blackness took over and it fell over.
Lance looked down on himself and saw how he was covered in blood and the blood on the blade was slowly dripping onto the ground. Before the world ended he was not afraid of blood however he would of definitely have been afraid of the amount of blood that covered him, but now there was no fear.
No fear, but a lot of excitement and blood lust. He looked like a demon born from slaughter. In fact, if anyone saw him, they would immediately start to tremble in fear from the killing intent and blood lust that was overflowing from his body.
"Hey, wake up! I don't know how much longer I can hold the illusion." Chao shouted in Lance's head.
Lance shook his head to get control of himself and woke up from that state of carnage and looked up the rubble mountain to where the last wolf stood. He didn't hesitate as he ran up the hill to where Chao was.
When he finally arrived, he noticed Chao was sweating profusely. He seemed to be really struggling keeping the Prince within the illusion. Lance didn't know how strong Chao's illusions are against enemies but he knew it shouldn't be this quick.
'Maybe its because of the level difference or the fact that it is royalty.' Lance thought to himself.
Lance gripped his sword and swung the blade the same way he did with the previous wolf. He wanted to end this fight the quickest way possible. However, just as the blade was lowering onto the back of the stone prince's neck, the fur of the prince started to turn into stone.
Lance's blade hit against the stone fur and he was only able to chip the armor just a little bit. Lance was shocked by the development. Before he could understand what had just occurred, Chao who was struggling immensely was blown back as the stone prince finally awoke from the illusion.
The prince was absolutely enraged by the fact that it was trapped in an illusion and almost killed. The wolf snarled and stone spikes came out of the ground all around the prince.
Lance wasn't able to dodge fully in time, and as he jumped back, his right side was torn by a couple of stone spikes. Lance yelled in pain and instinctively used his left arm to hold his side. A couple of his ribs were broken and a gash was leaking blood on his side.
Lance kneeled down and looked up at the stone spikes at the top of the hill. A couple of them were dyed red from Lance's blood. The spikes soon started to go back in the ground and the Prince which was in the middle could now be seen once again. Thanks to Lance's pain resistance, Lance felt only some numbing.
The Stone Prince and Lance's eyes met. The Prince's eyes were filled with fury and the killing intent from the wolf could be clearly seen. Chao who was blown back from losing control of the illusion finally caught control of his flight. He looked at Lance and was shocked to see that he had been damaged.
Chao had no hesitation as it flew towards Lance's side. Unfortunately, to keep the illusion on the wolf, Chao had to drain his chaos energy so he could not use his healing ability.
All Chao could do was try to support Lance with his own body to help him stand. However, Lance pushed him away and stood up by himself. Lance then took out one of his healing potion and drank the red liquid. The wound on Lance's side started to heal and stop bleeding.
The Prince looking down on Lance was about to initiate another attack when all of a sudden it turned its head to the left. Lance couldn't help but look in the same direction as the Prince. When he looked to the side he couldn't help but have a bit of sweat drip down his brow.
Down the street about a couple of blocks away, Lance saw a very large bronze wolf running down the street. Behind the bronze wolf was other wolves of different sizes and colors. Chao saw small army and couldn't help but shudder.
"Quick, we have to leave. That wolf in the front is called a Royal Guard and its level is 18. We won't be able to survive the onslaught." Chao yelled.
When Lance heard the level of the leader wolf, it only added to the fact that he had no more plans to continue this fight. Both Chao and Lance took no time thinking and ran into into the closest building behind them which was on the other side of the street. Once they ran into the building they didn't stop running.
Lance still wasn't in peak condition due to his side but he didn't stop running. His wound healed a lot due to the potion but it wasn't completely healed. He planned to run from building to building using the many corners to lose his hunters.
The Stone Prince seeing the people who had humiliated it and killed all of its comrades howled in anger. commanding all of the wolves to find them. The Royal guard ran towards the the Prince and bowed. The other wolves however went into the doorway to catch Lance and Chao.
The Prince would absolutely not let them go. The prince with the power and prestige of its royal blood is going to lead a manhunt for Lance. Lance before couldn't wait to find wolves to fight. Now the tables have turned and every wolf couldn't wait to tear them to pieces.
