The Atrocious Werewolf Prince

Argus Woska was shocked when he heard this. "Your majesty!! I was just... joking, I want to bathe in the pool as well..."

"Then keep quiet and come." Uttered Ezra.

"Everyone is gathering in groups like Salom, Victor and the rest, and will surely obtain various blessings, raising their strength. If you don't plan on falling behind, I advise you not to give up on this one." Advised Baron.

Ezra Zephyr was no samaritan but merely wanted all of his forces to grow strong. After all, Salom had teamed up with the upper realm people, forming a rather alarming line-up.

Not to mention, their real force has yet to be shown, every genius brought hundreds of smaller geniuses with him.

To match them, Ezra Zephyr would have to strengthen his side of martial masters. All of whom possessed 5th-grade Martial Spirit.

Such geniuses were definitely proud individuals, making it an uphill task to convince them. However, they worshipped their prince. Apart from them, he showed kindness and benevolence to attract other useful assets such as a spearman elf named Baron

Baron was no fool either, and naturally understood Ezra's intentions. Reema may have engaged in underhanded tactics against Baron, but he knew that he was not his opponent. "I will repay these debts in the future." Said Baron as he looked at Ezra respectfully.

The prince waved his hand, before smiling at his two cute cubs. "I'll be troubling you both to lead the way."

Skoll jumped and Hati seemed to sigh as if greatly pained by the act of sharing his beloved things. It powerlessly got up and headed towards the top of the giant mountain.

The Ezra's trio hurriedly followed.

Martial Animals would peer towards them from time to time, but none dared to show themselves due to the sons of Fenrir. In the end, the werewolf prince and gang smoothly reached the mountaintop.

The giant mountaintop was akin to the mouth of a volcano, but it was instead filled with strange goldish scaled liquid, making it a pool of scales. Golden light blossomed as a faint, strange fragrance spread.

Ezra Zephyr, Baron and Argus Woska gazed at the scaled pool with desire. They could feel the spiritual energy within their bodies grow lively.

"Is this the scaled pool?" The trio drooled, their hearts beating faster as they gazed upon it.

~PLOP - PLOP`

Skoll was the first to jump in and Hati followed after. They idled about on the surface, their eyes slightly shut as if was the best feeling in the world.

Ezra Zephyr and the rest watched as strands of golden light from the rippling golden water began to pour into both's bodies.

"The blessing is already before us, how much we gain will depend on ourselves." Ezra grinned at the pool before he also hopped in.

Baron's eyes glowed brightly, with no hesitation whatsoever as he leapt in and began happily enjoying the sensation of the pool.

Argus's heart rippled for a brief moment and swiftly followed suit.

Once Ezra Zephyr was inside, he could feel a peculiar golden light endlessly rush towards him. The golden light poured into his body and was greedily devoured by his squirming flesh and blood.

Golden light fused into his blood, making it flow with greater gusto and force.

It fused into his muscles, making them stronger and filling them with explosive power.

It fused into his bones, making them harder and sturdier.

Golden light washed across his body, some of it eventually arriving at his inner core. The black bolts of Chaos Force within also began to greedily absorb the light, rapidly growing more and more powerful.

As he felt his strength grow, Ezra Zephyr fell into a kind of drunken stupor. His eyes were tightly shut as if never intending to wake up ever again.

However, the prince ultimately broke out from this state. He unhappily opened his eyes, only to see Skoll licking his face.

"What the fuck?" Ezra glared at it.

Skoll tugged at Ezra Zephyr's clothes with its mouth before sinking towards the bottom of the scaled pool.

The prince was taken aback. "Did Sko want him to follow? Was there something at the bottom of the pool?"

He hesitated for a moment, taking a glance at where Argus and Baron were. The two seemed to be sleeping in the scaled pool, clearly drunk in the changes happening inside their bodies.

"I'll follow and take a look..."

Ezra thought for a bit, before decisively diving into the pool. He was rather curious about what exactly had captured the conceited Skoll's interest.

Inside the scaled pool, Ezra cut through the water, eyes fixed on his guide Skoll as he closely followed.

As they continued to dive deeper, the prince began to feel a powerful pressure surge towards him from all directions. The magnitude far surpassed that of ordinary water.

"What a strong pressure. Even though I already have a such sturdy body, it's still a bit unbearable." Ezra's expression was grave. The depth of the scaled pool was clearly not a place ordinary people could go to.

The black thundering lightning began to flicker out of Ezra's body, dancing around him.

However, it was not long before his Chaos force barrier already gradually reached its limits.

Ezra helplessly came to a stop, revealing an upset look. He had not expected it to be so difficult to reach the bottom of the scaled pool.

Skoll swiftly swam back upon realising this. It pondered for a bit, before laying itself on Ezra's head. Powerful crimson force spread, enveloping Ezra Zephyr like a bubble.

The overwhelming pressure immediately vanished.

"Thanks." Ezra rubbed Skoll's head.

The wolf who chased the sun waved its paw and began rapidly descending with Ezra Zephyr once again.

"My son is remarkable, isn't he?" Asked Fenrir.

"Yes, unlike his father."

"You arrogant kobold"

"Shut up, wanna be god"

"I prohibited you from calling me a god, don't you dare call me that, puny prince."

"Oh I ask for forgiveness, I mistakenly insulted gods..."

For the first time in ages, Fenrir gritted his fangs and growled in helplessness while his opponent was smirking.

After a few minutes, they finally saw their destination.

The bottom of the scaled pool was covered in scales of resplendent golden light. Numerous rocks had been covered with scales making them exceptionally dazzling.

Ezra's gaze swept across the area, a puzzled look in his eyes. His sense was not weak but was unable to discover anything out of the ordinary.

Skoll continued to descend, landing on the bottom of the pool before its paws suddenly began to dig at a certain spot.

Countless scaled golden rocks were sent flying.

A long while later, Ezra's eyes suddenly concentrated. As Skoll continued to dig, he saw a damaged golden cauldron appear at the bottom of the scaled pool.

Ezra waved his sleeve, sending out a wave of black lightning that swept away the scattered rocks, allowing the cauldron to be fully uncovered.

The cauldron was mottled and pretty badly damaged, covered in the vestiges of erosion. It seemed to be exceedingly ordinary, but Ezra Zephyr's gaze was still glued to its surface.

One would find ancient drawings on the surface of the cauldron. These patterns looked as if they were naturally formed when the world began, mysterious and immeasurable.

Weak rays of light connected the patterns, forming a picture of an august creature.

Ezra Zephyr stared hard at the mysterious rune. He felt the spiritual energy in his body turn sluggish at this moment as if under indescribable pressure.

It was obvious that this pressure originated from the patterns carved on the cauldron.

"There is a very familiar aura in it. But... I can't recall the origin of this familiarity."

Emotions churned in Ezra Zephyr's heart. Moments later, his eyes suddenly flashed. "I remember it, it's the same aura from the Spirity Tablet!"

But this was not strange. The Spirity Bailiwick had after all originated from the fallen Martial Animal.

"This is the treasure of Spirity Bailiwick..."

Mumbled Ezra Zephyr to himself. The treasure was definitely from the powers who made this unique space. Although he was unable to unravel its mysteries, anyone with half a brain would know that the treasure was extraordinary.

If not, Skoll would not have been so insistent.

Skoll extended his paw at this moment, pointing towards the cauldron and then pointing towards Ezra Zephyr.

"You want me to touch it?" Asked Ezra

Skoll nodded repeatedly.

"Don't waste your time, I am feeling unique power from it. Skoll is a picky one unlike my younger son Hati, who is whimsy, trust him." Fenrir spoke.

Hearing that, he smiled at Skoll and nodded. His figure descended as he reached out his hand and very carefully touched the ancient and mysterious golden cauldron.

~ROOOOAAAARRRRRR~

The instant Ezra's finger made contact, a deafening roar and blinding light exploded from the cauldron, shooting into the spot between Ezra's brows.

~ROOAAARRR~

An explosive roar resounded in Ezra Zephyr's mind the moment the light touched him.

Ezra's spiritual energy rippled violently as the world began to spin around him. An unimaginable enormous ancient beast appeared in front of him, slowly revolving as a terrifying pressure swallowed him.

~CRAACK~

Cracks instantly appeared on Ezra's core, clearly unable to withstand such pressure.

The prince's heart was filled with terror. He knew that his core would not last even ten seconds under the ancient creature's pressure. If this continued, his core would surely be turned to dust.

"How did this happen?!" A cry of horror echoed in his heart.

"I can't panic. This core pressure is from the strange creature!" Ezra forcibly calmed himself down. He knew that panic would likely only lead to his demise.
