The air in Keng's lungs escaped him as his body hit the ground. The strange feeling he felt over him suddenly disappeared, snapping him out of it. Ritsuka hovered above Keng, carefully studying him.
"Are you okay?" Ritsuka asked. Keng's face squished together for a moment, absorbing everything that just happened.
"It's not gonna hold much longer!" Olivia shouted. Ritsuka and the others looked away from Keng. The wolfmen slammed against the invisible force field. The large two-headed wolfman made their way to the front, pushing the other wolves away.
"GRAA!" The two-headed wolfman screamed before slamming two large swords into the force field. The force field cracked and Evan's grunts grew loud.
"Ah, screw this." Lee Seng moved his hand to Evan and threw him on the ground, snapping him out of his frenzy.
"What happened…?" Keng asked sitting up. His eyes widened as two more large swords slammed into the force field, shattering it.
"GRAA!" The two-headed wolfman screeched. The wolf pack howled, eyes all glowing bright purple. The wolfmen rushed forward, leaving the two-headed wolfman behind. Liz lifted into the air, blasting lightning at the group. Void swords flew up from the ground, piercing and killing large amounts of monsters in a single hit. Evan pushed himself up, shaking off the feeling of pure anger.
"Weapon!" Manny shouted. Keng pushed himself onto his feet, sinking his hand into the Void Storage. He pulled out an axe and threw it at Manny. Manny grabbed it and rushed to meet the wolfmen. Manny sank the axe's blade into the shoulder of a wolfman, immediately getting pelted with attacks. Silver, gold, and black fox fires appeared all around the forest. Lee Seng and Keng blinked, leaving the group.
"Devour." Lee Seng whispered. Gold wisps exploded form Lee Seng's body, devouring everything around him. Sun blade appeared in his hand, quickly sinking into the nearest wolfman.
"I'm not done with you!" Keng appeared above the two-headed wolfman. Both heads glanced up, raising their swords to block. Gravitum: Piercing Flash!" Keng blinked behind the large wolfman, sinking Hydrosphere into its back. The large wolfman howled in pain, swinging for Keng. Keng jumped backwards, watching the monster furiously yell. The monster readied his four swords, rushing at Keng.
"Resonance Art: Luminous Fury Wave." Hydrosphere lit up, filling the entire dagger in pure light.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"GRAA!" The two-headed wolfman screeched, again. A strange feeling washed over Keng. Keng tightened his grip on the blades of light. He shook it off and rushed at the large wolfman. The wolfman swung his first attack at Keng, who dodged it. The second attack swung straight down, hitting the ground as Keng appeared above him. A black fox fire faded into nothingness as Keng spun and slashed at the two-headed wolfman.
The wolfman retaliated, swinging wildly at Keng, knocking him out of the air.
"Keng!" Ritsuka shouted. Void swords swept the area, knocking away a small group of wolfmen as the group became swarmed. Olivia slammed the ground, watching the earth erupt in front of her and Liz.
"The small fry are annoying." Olivia complained. "We need to get rid of them and help Keng."
"Then give me a moment to charge this." Liz moved her hands together and started to conjure a ball of psionic plasma. Liz slowly pulled her hands outwards, growing the ball. "Just like we practiced… Grow it and let it take form… Give it enough energy. It won't consume you. It won't…" Liz grunted as the plasma ball lost its form. It moved in every direction. Liz pulled the plasma back into its original form and let out a slow breath.
"Ready?" Olivia asked.
"Go." Liz nodded. Olivia pushed the earth wall back into the ground as Liz fired the plasma ball straight at the biggest concentration of wolfmen. The plasma ball's electricity sparked in every direction. A wolfmen swiped at the plasma ball, releasing the energy into a blast of energy.
"Got you!" Lee Seng grabbed Keng and wrapped them in a golden shield. The bomb of psionic lightning energy flew around them, cracking Lee Seng's shield with ease. "Argh…!" Keng gritted his teeth, holding Lee Seng tightly as more layers of cosmic light surrounded them.
The entire forest shook as the plasma lightning stretched in all directions. Everyone shielded themselves as the energy dissipated. Their ear rang as silence filled the forest.

'Is it over?' Keng asked slowly opening his eyes. He turned his head to the left. Tons of burnt bodies littered the forest while the two-headed Wolfman gasped for air. The forest had been ripped apart by the blast. A large chunk of a tree was embedded into the two-headed wolfman's chest. It clutched at the chunk, screaming as it pulled the chunk out. Blood spewed out of its chest as it slowly stood up.
"Graa…" The double-headed wolfman growled.
"Lee." Keng tapped Lee Seng. Lee Seng didn't respond. Keng's eyes moved to Lee Seng, noticing his Vessel wasn't moving. "Lee." Keng shook him a little more. Nothing. Keng quickly descended onto the ground, setting Lee Seng to the side. "Barrier." Hydrosphere reappeared in Keng's hands as he slowly looked up at the two-headed Wolfman.
"Is he out?" Manny asked running over.
"Watch him for me." Keng started forward. Ritsuka jumped up onto his feet and ran over to Keng.
"I'll help you." Ritsuka told Keng. Keng simply nodded. Ritsuka's void was more apparent now that the forest was torn asunder. Ritsuka pulled the void towards him, sprinting past Keng. Ritsuka swung Obsidian Glass, releasing a void strike into the air. The two-headed wolfman threw its arms up to block. The monster growled as the void strike sank into its lower arms.
"Solarium: Burning Passion." Keng's Hydrosphere lit up in pure light as he blinked forward, slashing horizontally. Keng took an other step forward, slashing another time. He rushed forward jumping as the monster screeched in pain. The large wolfman smacked Keng away, forcing him backwards as Ritsuka rushed forward.
"Liz! Liv!" Manny shouted. "Evan!"
"Already on it." Evan shouted. A bolt of lightning collided with Evan's shield, charging him with kinetic energy.
"Launch me." Olivia told Evan. She sprinted towards Evan, who turned and lowered himself. He raised his shield as Olivia jumped, landing on his shield. Evan grunted, releasing the kinetic energy built up and firing Olivia into the air.
"I'll give you an opening." Ritsuka told them. "Void Rush." Ritsuka exploded forward in black and blue energy. The void around him pulled tighter, changing into armor as Ritsuka slammed into the two-headed wolfman. Keng blinked forward as the two-headed monster stumbled backwards. Keng slashed its arm off, listening to blood and screams. Olivia pulled her dagger out and channeled her power through it.
'All of the earth I've used should be enough for this spell.' Olivia thought.
"Bind." Olivia whispered. Nature's energy formed around the dagger. Olivia poured the energy into the blade, watching it grow. "Alchemical Formation: Earth-One." Olivia threw the dagger, watching the earth energy grow. Vines, rocks, and tree bark quickly grew around it, forming a large spike. The spike sailed straight into the heart of the two-headed wolfman.
Keng blinked over to Olivia, catching her. Keng landed safely, letting Olivia go as they turned and watched the two-headed wolfman scream in pain.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You can die now." Olivia snapped her fingers. The large spike erupted, creating a large mound of stone, dirt, vines and small trees.
"Woah." Keng gasped. "I've never seen you do something like that before."
"I've been practicing." Olivia smiled. She motioned to grab her knife from behind and felt it reappear. She pulled the dagger out and looked at the mound.
"Is it dead?" Manny asked Keng.
[Two-headed Wolfman has been slain. An increased 45,000 souls has been added to the Soul Bead! 98,425/1,000,000]
Keng turned away from Olivia and the large mound. He made his way over to Lee Seng, watching Manny do his work.
"How is he?" Keng asked.
"He's fine. I think he just passed out from the lightning explosion." Manny replied.
"Sorry about that." Liz landed on the ground. "I guess I still haven't gotten the range correct."
"He didn't get hurt by the electricity at all. I think it was the condensed pressure that knocked him out." Manny explained. He sighed and pulled his hand away from Lee Seng. "For now, I think we should make sure the point is secured. We'll take a small break while Lee Seng's asleep."
"Alright." Keng nodded, standing.
A shadowy figure stood on the outskirts of the battle, watching Team Zephyr. A large bird mask appeared for a moment before the shadowy figure adjusted it.
"Report." A male voice spoke into the shadowy figures ear piece. "Is the intel, right?" The bird masked figure reached up for their ear piece and held it.
"They're explosive." A low voice responded. "I'm not sure what to tell you, sir. I don't think they're whom we're looking for. I will continue to monitor until I'm sure." The bird mask figure released the hold onto their earpiece and smirked. "You're certainly an interesting one, golden one… I wonder if you're actually him."
