BAM!!
The three leaped out of Proteanâs attack range, while Mottâs eyes widened, seeing as Proteanâs claws plunged into the ground.
"What the?" He landed on his feet, "This wolf is stronger than its realm!"
"We can see that!" Stellar announced.
Emily was silent, calmly observing the wolf in front of them, she raised her head, seeing Aaron and another woman watching them... Both sitting on the same branch.
âWho the hell is that?â
She thought.
"Is that a Monster?!" Mott spotted Modena, and exclaimed.
"She is a Beast-Ruler! You really have powerful figures around you!" Stellar was getting even more happy, then realization struck her:
"Wait! Is this disgusting Wolf with you?" She asked, pointing at Protean.
"Did you just called me "Disgusting"?" Protean asked with killing intent.
"I get it now... This Is a test." Mott turned his head to Aaron. "Right?"
"Yes... Anyone who pass, will have a reward." Aaron nodded at the two.
"Then what are we waiting for?!"
Stellar gripped the tree branch in her hand, and shot forward, leaping into the air.
"Take this!!"
She yelled, and smashed down on Proteanâs head.
BAM!!!
"Huh?"
Stellar was stunned, seeing as Protean caught her weapon(A 40 centimeters stick)
"This is a test, but donât think Iâll go easy on you."
Protean gripped her wrist which held the stick with her left hand, and threw her away with so much force that she couldnât stabilize herself.
Emily and Mott: "Stellar!!"
Mott quickly ran towards Stellar, leaped into the air, and caught her, using his back to stop their fall.
"Augh!"
"Mott? Are you ok?" Stellar asked, her voice filled with worries. Stay tuned with empire
Mott looked at the beauty lying on his chest and tried to smile, but grimace from the pain.
Stellar quickly stood up. "Come on."
She offered her hand, and helped the stunned Mott to his feet;
"Thank you." Mott nodded. "We must kill this thing." He added, walking towards Protean who stood meters from them.
"You are bleeding!!" Stellar exclaimed in horror, seeing the blood on Mottâs back and right Shoulder.
"Itâs nothing." Mott shook his head:
"We must complete this test!" He added.
Stellar was confused, she looked at Emily who was already battling with Protean, Emily was holding her ground... She then turned back to Mott:
"Why are you doing this? Iâm doing it, so Iâll have a backer, even if itâs the Cursed Child... I know where Iâm entering will make me an enemy of not just my race but all the continents... But why you...? Your father is a Baron, you have a good future ahead of you... So why follow Aaron?"
Mott sighed softly, His gaze fixed on Protean: "You can only have all that if youâre alive."
"Huh?" Now Stellar was stunned.
"My family is on the blink of death, If I donât get stronger, and quickly... Theyâll all die... The academy isnât bothered about my family and their fate, only because Iâm a student of the outer section... But with Aaron, Iâll have the opportunity to get stronger and also be able to save my family... You are here for protection, so you could be free in this world...
But freedom only comes to those who are at the pinnacle of power... Not to us, weaklings... I promise myself today, Iâll train more... Reduce in size, and one day... Be strong enough to save my family!"
He looked at Stellar over his shoulder: "That Is my reason." Without waiting for reply, he shot towards Protean, doing his best to help Emily.
While Stellar stood on the same position, thinking about Mottâs words... The only thing in her mind was freedom, but a small piece was telling her, she must have her revenge... âRevenge? Why Revenge? Who am I avenging?â
These questions were troubling her for a while now... She could say, this was the only secret Emily donât know about, But how will she bring herself to tell her? When she herself donât know the meaning of these questions... This was also the reason she chose to follow Aaron, He might help her understand this feeling.
âIt seems both of us joined him for a reason, but will you still follow him after your situation is settled?â She thought to herself.
"You guys are fascinating!" Protean leaped backward, as Emily Appeared beside him, throwing a kick.
She missed, then turned her head to the Wolf!
"How the hell can you pinpoint when and where Iâm attacking?!" She asked.
Protean landed on the ground: "My master detected you, right? Then why wonât I?" He stood 10 meters away.
"This wolf is powerful! But we can do this!!" Mott shakily stood up from the ground, his back covered in blood.
"How long have this been going on?" Modena asked, observing Mott, seeing the blood on his body, she licked her lips.
"Five minutes now, And You arenât eating him."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Aww?" She looked at him with a sad expression.
"Not happening, but you can have Protean." Aaron said with a mischievous smile.
"Oh?"
Modenaâs eyes brightened: "I donât want to eat Protean, But I want him in me."
Aaron frowned and turned his head to her: "In his Wolf form?"
"I donât mind, I can try all form... I wonder how deep heâll go?" She started fantasying, licking the top of her lips.
"Then you should try harder, try and make him like you."
"You arenât disgusted or anything?" Modena turned her head to him, totally perplexed.
"You said you want him, even giving a deep explanation where... So Is there anything to be disgusted about?"
Modena stared at him for some moment and sighed: "I donât really know what you are." She turned her head back to the battle.
"Are you ok, Mott?" Emily asked with a slight frown, the blood on Mottâs body was just too shocking.
"Yes." Mott nodded with a grimace.
"Ok, I think itâs time to end this!"
Before Protean could charge towards them, a figure arrived behind him and plunged a stick from behind, which burst out from his chest.
"Yes." Mott said with difficulty, seeing Stellarâs move.
Protean turned around to her, he grinned showing his razor sharp teeth:
"What?! That should have killed you!" Stellar took a step back, leaving the stick in his body.
"Iâm a celestial being, I can only die if my Master dies... Without that, There is nothing in this world that can kill me." He pulled the stick out from his body, as his blood splashed on Stellarâs face and body.
"You... Who is your master?!" She asked, and added: "Weâll kill him, and then see if you canât die!"
"Hahahahaha!!!" Protean laughed so loud, that he almost cried: "Kill my Master? Even your strongest council elder wonât be able to kill him, let alone you."
"Huh? Then you are lying... Thereâs no way such a being exist..."
"Oh he does Exist."
Everyone looked up at Modena, who jumped down the tree, landing behind Stellar.
"I have met him, heâs so powerful that I didnât even have the strength to resist, and Iâm second to the food chain in Flesh Eatersâ forest."
"Flesh eaters forest!! That place is filled with Monsters!!"
Stellarâs and Mottâs faces were filled with surprise.
"True, But this Master conquered the whole forest, the forbidden sea, Dangerous Island and the death Oceans in 2 hours... Do you now see how powerful heâs?"
Mott, Stellar and Emily stood frozen like sculptures.
"Not only that, but the route leading from Flesh Eatersâ forest to the academy is now number him." Protean added with a raised chest.
"He is the Prince of Terra, And his name is: Aaron."
The two bowed, as Aaron landed in front of Modena.
"A-Aaron?"
Mott stammered, not knowing what to say, all these places were filled with dangerous Monsters! The Forbidden sea has a monster which head could swallow a whole ship, and this monster Is a Beast-Ruler... The death Oceans is the home to the merfolks... Their Queen is a Beast-Ruler! And lastly, the Dangerous Island, The five Sirens are exceptionally powerful, with two being Beast-Rulers...
Other two; Being Great-Demons, and the weakest was a Cursed-Demon... These sisters were the strongest Monsters in the whole three continents.
"Actually, they arenât the strongest." Aaron smiled at the two.
"Really?"
He raised his right hand into the air: "Show yourself Calamity, But 5 meters big."
Red and Black smoke flew out from the ring in his finger, forming the six-headed Hydra.
"OH MY GOD!!"
Mott fell butt first on the ground, seeing the six heads in front of him, the pain he was feeling was now replaced with fear, bone chilling fear.
Not only him, Modena, Stellar and Emily moved back in fear, The pressure this creature was releasing was nothing more but suffocating.
"What the hell is this?!" Mott asked, still on the ground.
Aaron chuckled, seeing their action: "This is my second subordinate, Calamity."
The Hydra opened its wings wide, showing dominance!
"Second Subordinate? Then who is the first?"
