Emery could feel his entire body burning with excitement, the urge within him eagerly waiting for him to finally release the leash and throw itself into the fight. However, his last bit of conscience still managed to maintain control.
With the strength he currently had, Emery was confident on fighting one, or two Crescent Moon dark elf magus simultaneously. He even probably could take on a Half Moon magus. However, definitely not all three at the same time.
While he was still in control of his thoughts, Emery turned to the Half Moon magus, who was the leader of the group, and with a mocking smile on his lips he said, "Your men are not strong enough for me… How about you? Do you dare to fight me? Or are you just good enough to gang up on an acolyte?"
It was a blatant provocation and challenge, as if that wasn't enough, Emery followed this by putting on a disdainful smile aimed at the proud dark elf magus.
Even though the dark elf probably knew this was a trick, Emery was certain the former would still accept it. The dark elf magus could not refuse such a challenge, his pride as a magus and elf lineage would not allow him to do so.
Accepting the challenge, the Half Moon magus ordered one of his men to stand guard to make sure Emery did not run away, while the last one went to check on the unconscious dark elf.
Seeing that his taunt was working, Emery gave another glint of a fierce smile. His right hand was wielding the Tier 6 dagger, while the other was set with three blades protruding from the knuckles. He was ready to charge at any moment.
The dark elf captain shouted loudly as an intense pressure radiated from him. As his body was engulfed in dark flames, he took out a two meter long double-edged sword and brandished it at Emery.
Baaaaammmm!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA deafening dull sound rang through the air as the captain dashed over and attacked Emery, sending him reeling from the incredible force. A look of shock appeared on Emery's face, as he found out that his opponent's strike was something his nearly 500 combat power could not handle. His face immediately turned deadly serious.
Meanwhile, his opponent didn't remain idle. The dark elf captain immediately gave chase after his initial attack, charging forward and barraging Emery with ferocious attacks as his double-edged sword moved swiftly like a hurricane.
Clankk! Clankk! Clankk!
It didn't take long for Emery's arms to go numb from receiving the relentless attacks. Coupled with the fact that his fighting ability with dagger and claws was limited, he found himself unable to match up to his opponent, neither in skill nor strength.
Nevertheless, Emery had no plans to change his current fighting weapon to a sword.
Instead, he stored away the dagger and drew out the blade claws on his other hand. Brandishing his clenched hands, Emery fought using the claw technique he had learned, while relying completely on his fighting instincts to make up his decisions in battle.
It was as if he had turned into a primal beast, unleashing the rage that had been building up inside.
The attacks from the dark elf captain continued, inflicting numerous cuts and wounds on Emery's body, yet he continued to ferociously attack his opponent without the slightest bit of inhibition.
Clankk! Clankk! Clankk!
After taking dozens more hits to his body, Emery could be seen staggering before finally collapsing to the ground. He could feel excruciating pain all over his body, but once again he stood up and let out a deafening roar.
Hooowwllll!
Emery charged at the dark elf captain, rousing his spirit energy and casting [Void Mist] he conjured several clones of himself. Together, they quickly surrounded the Half Moon magus and attacked in unison.
Clankk! Clankk! Splaatt!
After a dozen more strikes, Emery finally managed to get one hit from his opponent, seeing the blood on his claws, his eyes quickly narrowed dangerously as he was desirous for more.
It had been several minutes since the fight had started, by now the confident expression on the dark elf captain's face was no more. He was thoroughly drenched in sweat as he found himself being gradually pushed back.
To his surprise and dismay, each of his opponent's attacks was able to drain a bit of his strength when it hit his body. Moreover, the longer the fight went on, the more ruthless and relentless his opponent became. He also couldn't help but be shocked by the terrifying regeneration his opponent had.
"What kind of wolf are you?!"
Unnerved by the abnormality that was Emery, the dark elf captain gritted his teeth and cast a spell that quickly set the surrounding area in flames.
Emery's entire body was quickly swallowed whole, however, the wolf inside him only became more ferocious. Ignoring the excruciating burning sensation, he charged through the sea of flames and landed an attack, piercing through the dark elf's shoulder.
"Arrghhhh!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA refreshing feeling came to Emery's mind as more of the dark elf's energy was devoured by his claws.
Meanwhile, the dark elf captain turned anxious as he felt more strength leave his body. Knowing he would be defeated if this continued, he was forced to throw away all his pride and enlist the help of his other two comrades.
"Kill him! Quickly kill him!"
Hearing their leader's panicked voice, the two immediately shot up and attacked Emery.
Unfortunately, his current body, which had received multiple injuries, could only perform a few evasive maneuvers, before one of the magus was able to land a flaming chain that restrained him while the other smashed his mace to the back of his head.
BAAAMMM!!!
Emery was forcibly brought down to his knee, held down like an animal. Even so, his ferocity was unstoppable, his mouth letting out a guttural grunt.
The dark elf captain walked up to him, swinging his double-edged sword ready for a killing blow as he said, "You are not a simple acolyte indeed. Unfortunately, the likes of you will have to die here! Now!"
It was at this time that the dark elf captain realized the half-man half-wolf held down by his comrades wasn't actually grunting in pain. Instead, one of palpable excitement.
The rage within Emery had finally completed its accumulation and succeeded in unleashing it.
[Beast Transformation]
[Battle power rapidly increasing]
The three magus all sported shocked expressions as they watched the acolyte's body enlarge rapidly, becoming so large it shattered the chains of fire that bound him. Before they could react, the beast dashed forward, tackling the unprepared dark elf captain in front of him. The moment their bodies hit the ground, he thrusted his enlarged claws into his chest.
"Arrghhhh!"
