Wolf-san pov
----------------------------------------
It was a normal day for this one, roaming around the forest with nothing particular to do when this one felt a mysterious magical disturbance. The disturbance gave off an aura which was strong refined and noble, it truly gave off a royal presence. The birds stopped chirping and the forest became deathly quiet. Not even the insects dared to move. This one has lived in this forest for almost a millennia and has never felt anything like this before. The disturbance lasted a few minutes. These few minutes were like time itself had been frozen and then all went back to normal in the forest like nothing happened at all.
Truly intrigued this one had to investigate. This one had to be sure it wasn’t another magical or divine beast looking to rule this territory, even though the chances of this happening was minuscule. This one doesn’t particularly care about this forest, it has served as a good home but that’s all. What this one hates the most is being disturbed.
If this one had to describe itself then the word lone wolf would be perfect. The humanoid races always seek out divine and magical beasts for trophy’s or just tools to become stronger. This one has seen it with my own two eyes. Instead of a proper partnership the humanoid races prefer to stand on top and enslave divine/magical beasts or sell them off like pieces of meat with no freedom. Disgusting, truly disgusting.
This one of course is a divine wolf. Divine beasts are beasts with very high intellect and they have the blessing of a god. This one has the blessing of Fenrir the God of wolves.
Magical beasts have less intelligence. Magical beasts are beasts with mana and unlike divine beasts there are many magical beasts that roam this world.
Last of all there are monsters which lack intelligence all together. Monsters have the highest number out of the three.
This one remembers long ago when this ones disguise had failed inside a human city. The members of royalty in that kingdom hunted this one for months. Eventually this one was forced to destroy the kingdom just for peace. When the kingdom was destroyed stronger and stronger humanoid groups would give chase. Although they were no match for this one, it did become tiring. To escape the same circle of events this one decided to enter this forest that even the humanoid races stayed away from. Making this territory mine took a while and when it was accomplished this one finally had peace.
Swiftly making my way through the the forest I close in on the location of where I felt the disturbance. This one was on edge, if there truly was another divine beast close by then the fight could be tough especially if the divine beast has its partner with them.
Partner, comrade, chosen one, there are many different names for humanoids who become connected to a divine beast. Of course the connection goes both ways and so does the benefits. Together the two can become much stronger than normal and the potential and speed of growth increases tenfolds. Also being connected to an existence that has lived for millennia’s is a benefit in itself.
Divine beasts unlike magical beasts rarely create pacts and there is one big reason why. Life spans. Human life span is around 1 century. Dwarfs and beastmen around 2 centuries. Although the growth rate for divine beasts is increased with a partner, because divine beasts have no real life span it can still take years for us to to have a real advancement in levels since they are already so high. Humanoid races however can reap the benefits instantly as they are lower levelled.
Although these benefits affect both sides most of the humanoid races with a few exceptions were overcome by greed and devised a way to enslave divine/magical beasts. Just like in this one’s case some kingdoms will send entire armies to enslave a divine beast. With an infinite life span they use us as tools for levelling with their collars of slavery, which were created by the demon god.
There are only a few races that divine beasts sometimes mingle with. The first is the beastman race. We avoid making pacts with creatures of this race as their life spans are too short but since our humanoid forms look like them we can easily integrate into their societies. Most divine beasts represent certain animals like the fox, bear, tiger, cat etc.
The second are the elves. Young divine beasts who choose to have a pact would choose the elves. Elves haves the longest lifespan ranging up to a millennia, however they do take a lot longer to mature. Elves are the noblest of all humanoid races. They never use slavery collars as they believe they are taboo. A good pact with an elf would last 600/700 years. Elves with the longest life spans don’t have a very large population. In fact they have the second smallest. Meeting an elf is very rare as they like to keep to themselves just like us.
The third race are the most beneficial to us divine beasts but the hardest to create a pact with. That is the vampire race. This vampire race and the divine beasts are the only race's with an eternal life span. Vampires do not age past their prime. Of course they can be killed but this takes a lot of effort. They have the smallest population and some even believe them to be extinct as just finding one is near impossible. Vampires look just like humans and with their small population they blend in extremely well. Vampires can practically live forever, but the chances of bearing any off spring is extremely low. This one believes their population barely reaches a thousand. In all the millennia this one has lived for this one has only met a handful of vampires. Vampires usually look down on the other races too. This is because they believe the other races that age are inferior. Fortunatley for the other race's vampires also keep to themselves and rarely interact with the outside world.
Finally arriving at the area of disturbance this one immediately starts scouting the area. Unfortunately the most annoying scenario has come to light. I can sense the presence of Valfor the divine dragon beast. This arrogant prideful idiotic dragon has met with this one in the past. Our last fight was a draw but this time this one shall win.
The idiotic dragon, just like this one was searching the area for the disturbance. Slowly creeping up on the idiotic dragon who at this moment was drinking from my river, this one pounces straight towards him looking for a quick kill.
Pouncing in this ones claws slash towards the dragons unsuspecting head. Sensing this one just in time he barely manages to dodges in time. This one’s claw which was coated in lightning scratches the idiotic dragons left eye sending him into a panicked rage. As he tries to take flight this one quickly attacks his wings but the idiotic dragon at this point had gained his bearings. Barely dodging my attack once again we both trade devastating blows. The shockwaves from our attacks sent trees toppling over and created craters in the ground. This one managed to damage the idiotic dragon’s wings however he had managed to land a hit on this one’s side.
The damage wasn’t too bad but the element of surprise was now gone.
“Foolish wolf you dare attack me. I am the king of all dragons the divine dragon that rules everything under the skies!”
“Idiotic and prideful as ever. This one shall shall grant you mercy and end your pathetic imaginary reign.” This one couldn’t help but smirk at the foolish dragon that dared to enter this one’s territory.
The idiotic dragon was now fully enraged. This wolf had dared to step into his path yet again. She might be a divine beast but he was a dragon. Getting himself hyped up the idiotic dragon lets out an ear deafening roar.
“ROAAAARRR!”
Ignoring this pathetic excuse of a roar, this one once again charges in. The both of us once again started trading blows. This one hates to admit it but this idiotic dragon was strong. He wasn’t a divine beast for nothing. With draconic armour this ones lightning wasn’t very effective but this ones slashes still did a lot of damage.
With the idiotic dragon blind on one side this one took full advantage of his blind spot. The dragon was having difficulty im keeping up but that didn’t mean that I would let my guard down.
As a wolf this one is very agile and flexible. Keeping to the blind spot this one kept attacking his under belly and wings again and again. The idiotic dragon would get in a few slashes here and there. This ones coat was now full of wounds however the dragon was in a worse condition. With a damaged wing and blind eye he couldn’t keep up with this ones attacks. As this one had guessed the idiotic dragon decided to retreat.
All that pride disappeared when his life was in danger. Trying to escape the idiotic dragon swipes his tail at an extremely fast speed hitting this one straight in the chest. Taking advantage of this he started to breathe fire forcing this one to retreat. At the same time he starts to fly although you can barely call it flying he manages to escape into the sky.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
The idiotic dragon knew better to not attack me from the sky as this one would have electrocuted his wings causing him to fall. His wings weren’t armoured like the rest of his body. Watching the dragon fly away this one couldn’t resist laughing out loud. Of course this one made sure the dragon heard it.
“HAHAHAHA, ruler of all under the skies?! What a joke! Come back to this one’s territory again and that day shall be your last stupid dragon!”
Hearing his pathetic excuse of a roar this one decides to heal the wounds i had gained before continuing to explore. Slowly making my way away from the river this one finds a comfortable spot and lies down. With nothing else to do this one decides to have a quick slumber.
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
Tired so tired yet this one can sense a presence close to me. Who dares to disturb my rest? Slowly opening my eyes I see a woman in front of me. Blond hair, red eyes, and cute face. She looked delicate like a flower, frail and delicate looking, but the question is why is this girl so deep in this one’s forest? Using my senses I can clearly sense her strength and this one is not impressed.
“Woman, how did thee enter this one's forest?” She looks slightly afraid. This one has to give her credit, in this form many either attack instantly by the greedy, usually though people will cower in fear and beg for their lives. Some weird ones even started to pray, not that it helped. Disturb my sleep and you shall suffer the consequences.
“Sorry for trespassing in your territory, I woke up not far from here in some kind of tomb.” She spoke looking this one in the eyes.
Tomb? Hmmm so she was in a deep slumber. This one wonders for how long. Is she the reason for the disturbance that occurred? Standing up this one slowly walks towards the girl. When close enough this one smells the scent of the girl. With her scent and her look I can say she’s most likely a vampire. This once again confuses this one. Vampires treasure each other especially the pure blooded ones, so why was she in a slumber deep in such a deadly place.
Knowing she’s not lying to me I don’t think of her as an enemy normally she would be an annoyance but her existance is keeping this one interested.
“Ha ha ha little lady don’t be afraid, I can see you are telling the truth.” Seeing her confused this one tries to calm her down for questioning. “I can see your confusion little lady but you smell like one of the caves near here. As you’re not lying you don’t have to be afraid, I won’t hurt you.”
Having successfully calmed down the little lady in front of me this one notices her starting to zone out. This one was starting to get irritated this girl disturbs my slumber and now is zoning out during a conversation. Before i could react in any way i hear her mutter.
“What a waste.”
This one was caught of guard. What was a waste? The little lady slowly made her way towards me. Her fear of me had dissapeared completely. Her red eyes were now shining bright and fangs had sprouted within her mouth. Seeing her drooling and closing in this one realised what was happening. The girl in front of me was definitely a vampire and with blood all over me she of course would want to quench her thirst.
Amazed by the lack of fear the vampire was showing, this one allowed her to drink. Would she be able to tolerate this ones divine blood or would she lose her sanity to the thirst. This one wont lie this girl was now holding my complete interest.
This was the first time this had happened to me too. The little lady was sloppy and blood was now all over the place. Eventually she had reached one of the wounds from the idiotic dragon. This one quietly watched to see if she would lose her sanity.
1 minute
2 minutes
The little lady was drinking away with no signs of stopping.
*gulp* *gulp* *gulp* *gulp*
When she finished drinking she startled licking this ones wound. Has she lost her mind what is she doing? Once she finished licking she curled up and wrapped herself in my fur. This one’s attention however was on the wound the girl had licked. Not only had it healed at a speed that wasn’t possible, my other wounds started healing at an abnormal rate too. It didn’t take long for this one to return to being in peak condition.
Baffled at this phenomenon this one decides to leave the questioning for when this little lady woke up.
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
Its been months since this one started to train Yuki. At first she was weak and was just waiting to be food for the lucky monster that find her. She had the techniques and knowledge but without the proper strength to back it up she would have been killed easily within this deadly forest.
Today however Yuki’s power is completely different from the girl this one first met. Every day she grows more and more vampire like. A cold blooded killer but the surprising thing is that she treats this one like family. Thankfully she isn’t scared of this one either. Was it because this one took her in and taught her how to survive? Or was it because she had no memories and only has this one for company.
Yuki is also blessed in a magic that completley unique to her. Time magic. With the ability to slow down time she could become unstoppable. This one has seen her in action many times and thinks the way she fights is tactical and deadly.
Now that she is strong enough his one believes that Yuki is perfect to make a pact with. Not only is she strong and charming, but she also doesn’t treat this one differently. Something you wouldn't expect from a vampire.
Currently this one and Yuki are in the middle of another hunt. This time it looks like our prey is an abomination of a monster. It’s a giant spider the size of an orc. The spider has more than 8 eyes and vision that spans all the way around its body making a surprise attack near impossible, if of course that if you aren’t Yuki.
Using the tree as cover we slowly approach the spider. This one is not in my giant form and im also suppressing any aura from leaking out. Both and Yuki and this one are now fully absorbed and ready for the hunt.
Once we were close enough to attack the spider we came to a stop. The spider still hasn’t detected us. Taking a look at Yuki I can instantly tell what her next move will be. After all with the amount of hunts this one and Yuki have been in this one knows exactly what her next move will be.
Giving her a nod she instantly vanishes from her spot. Right now she stopped time and is probably attacking the spider’s vitals. Abruptly appearing by my side without a second passing by this one knows she has completed her task.
Confirming my thoughts the giant spider screeches in pain thrashing around its bony legs destroying trees and its surrounding its web. Taking this as my chance this one attacks the defenceless spider.
The hunt was over in moments. Yuki had destroyed every single one of the spider’s eyes, a fatal wound. Approaching the spider I strike its head with a bolt of lightning ending its life.
As this spider was a monster, the spider will have a magical crystal inside its heart. This is one of the reasons why Yuki doesn’t aim for the heart as it would destroy the crystal. A crystal has many uses especially with the humanoid races. This one hasn’t been in their society in a millennia however this one does know they use them for many different things. From building weapons and armour to daily necessities like lighting. The stronger mana crystals like the one from the spider will definitely be fused to create a weapon or be fused into creating a piece of armour.
Magical crystals carry the property of its host. The fist sized crystal Yuki retrieved from the spider carcass has a green shade to it. This shows the spider had the affinity of earth. If this crystal was now used on say a weapon like a staff, the effects given could be to ease the burden of mana used for earth spells or boost the damage of earth spells. If used on a sword then the effects could be an increased durability. The stronger the monster the stronger the effects the crystal will give.
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
It’s been several days now and this one has thought very carefully about making a pact with Yuki. Making one with a vampire would mean being connected to her for a very long time maybe even forever.
With this one’s decision made, this one heads over to Yuki who is resting by the fruit tree. She made this thing called a hammock from vines and other materials, although she has no knowledge on the world itself this one wonders how she comes up with such strange ideas.
“Yuki this one is going to be blunt and ask you something very important.” Catching her attention she looks this way.
“This one wants to make a pact with you.” Looking at her reaction this one can tell she has no idea what a pact is. Almost releasing a sigh this one once again is hit by the realisation of how clueless Yuki is regarding the common sense of this world.
It took a while to explain what a pact was and what kind of relationship it entails. Yuki was fine with a partnership in which both of us were equals in fact she said that nothing would change between us other than the obvious connection which would form. This one knew she was the right choice.
To start the process this one transformed into my humanoid form and held both of Yuki’s hands. Next this one started the magical chant. Yuki would repeat her own version afterwards.
“In the name of everything under the heavens I the Divine Wolf, master of hunting and ruler of lightning take Yuki the princess of vampires and ruler of time as my chosen one. May our pact be eternal.”
Yuki then repeated the chant with her name and title first however when it would come to my part she would also give me my name. In the long life that’s this one has lived for, this one has never had a name so this one was slightly looking forward to the name Yuki would give me.
“In the name of everything under the heavens I Yuki the princess of vampires and ruler of space and time take Mizuki the Divine Wolf, master of hunting and ruler of lightning as my chosen one. May our pact be eternal.”
When Yuki finished chanting it felt like the gods themselves had witnessed the chant and to prove that lightning fell upon the both of us. The lightning strike didn’t hurt the both of us but the pressure emitted from the strike and the fact that the both of use were becoming connected did render us unconscious.
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
Around the world many people were in shock. The bright lightning strike along with the fluctuations caused were sensed by almost everyone with decent level in mana sensing. Clearly a pact had been formed with a divine beast. The last person who did form a pact with a divine beast did it almost 500 years ago. That divine beast was the ruler of fire and had heated up the world itself. Who was this mysterious person who created a pact with a lightning divine beast? With a lightning strike that lit up the sky, alongside a world shaking noise of thunder which divine beast was it that made its move? which country/race did the chosen one belong to? Empire, and kingdoms were scrambling to find the answers.
