161 Chapter 154: Can we join the fun?
"Seems like we'll be expecting some guests soon."
Dane immediately sends a mind-link to Rea, telling her to bring Kaius and Amber over while he greets their 'guests'.
Soon after, Rea came over, with Kaius on her back and Amber following behind her. Because she can walk, she did not need to be supported by the female shifter.
When the three finally reached Dane and the still-unconscious Krys, Rea carefully placed Kaius down, just near Krys.
Dane frowned as he watched Kaius lying there on the ground, his eyes closed.
And without any warning, Dane kicked Kaius, sending the latter flying, much to Amber's shock.
Before Kaius hit the wall, he had agilely jumped against the wall before landing on the ground with a frown. And within seconds, he had already stood beside Dane and was about to throw a punch.
Dane grabbed the other shifter's fist and frowned back. "What the hell are you doing?" he demanded quietly.
Kaius frowned deeper. "I've just met my mate. What's your excuse?"
"Is that good enough of a reason for you to pretend to be dead to be alone with your mate longer?" Dane mocked.
Kaius glanced at Amber who was looking at them, fascinated and back at Dane again. "Wasn't alone, though."
Dane rolled his eyes and then growled. "Go and protect my mate. Make sure that dem warlock stays down," he ordered.
Kaius nodded as he looked down at the unconscious young warlock.
Dane stepped out of the rubbles and out on the field.
Soon after, he saw something coming at them at full speed. He quickly went on guard and waited for it to come at him.
Within seconds, Dane got hit on the shoulder, forcing him a few steps back but not enough to throw him off.
"Ho ho ho," the mutated rogue mocked playfully. "Seems like you're getting stronger now. You're finally infused with your power, is it?"
Dane just kept quiet, looking at the rogue with blazing anger in his eyes.
A man stepped out from behind the mutated rogue. And without any warning and a flick of his wrist, he sent the rogue behind him.
The mutated rogue growled with dissatisfaction as he struggled to get up. But he did not dare to counter back at the warlock.
The man stood in front of Dane. He did not look intimidated by Dane's overtowering height. Rather, it did not even bother him one bit. He just stood there, looking at Dane in the eyes, unflinching.
Unlike when he greeted the Alpha and the Beta earlier, Rehan just kept quiet and suddenly, he grabbed the neck of Dane, gripping it tight.
Dane gritted his fangs, not expecting that the warlock has some strength in his puny body of his. He grabbed the hand of the warlock with his two paws, wanting to tear it off him.
Before he could do that, Rehan had released him and jumped back a few steps away, his eyes still on the shifter.
Dane let out a cough, his neck still hurting from the tight grip Rehan had on him.
Then as if Dane did not exist in front of his eyes, Rehan looked over behind Dane's back, his eyes darkened when he saw the young warlock lying down amidst the rubble, surrounded by two shifters and a young woman.
There was a confused glint in his eyes when he first saw a human being beside the shifters. Then understanding dawned on him as he looked at Dane and back to the female.
And without another glance towards Dane, he immediately set off towards where Krys was, together with the other three. At first, Dane thought that he was targeting Krys, wanting to save him. But he was naive.
It seems like his target was Amber!
"Amber, watch out!" Dane shouted when he realized who the target was.
Amber was scared stiff, she did not know what to do as she sat there, numbed.
The two other shifters; Kaius and Rea immediately stood in front of Amber, protecting her.
But this did not stop Rehan from casting a spell that pushes both shifters away, leaving the human being vulnerable without any protection. Seeing the opportunity, Rehan quickly casted another spell towards Amber.
Before he could finish his spell, Dane had already jumped onto him, slapping the warlock to the ground. Though, unfortunately for Dane, the spell succeeds in protruding a small earthen wall from underneath Amber.
Amber, who screamed out of fright, was pushed up by the wall, bringing her several hundred meters off the ground. And because the spell was interrupted, the magic was also broken, crumbling the earthen wall. Without the wall, Amber soon fell.
Dane felt his heart stopped when he saw Amber falling. He was not sure whether he could save her or not.
Rehan, at that time, was on his feet and was about to cast another spell when suddenly, a shadow swooped in and saved Amber.
The shadow rolled around on the ground, his furry arms protecting Amber from hurt. Once the shadow was on his feet, Amber must have fainted from fright as she laid in the shadow's arms, unconscious.
The shadow slowly stood up as he cricked his neck. "Feck, that hurt a lot!"
Amarok looked around him. Chaos was an understatement when he described the area. Everything was nearly destroyed. The mansion has lost almost half of its building, where the whole basement was exposed. The trees nearby were practically gone, with most of them crashed to the ground, broken in pieces.
He looked over to see Dane watching him. And then he looked at the warlock who was levitating near the other shifter and growled.
"You… You're the one who did this to me!" Amarok roared as he sprinted towards the warlock.
Squinting his eyes, Rehan immediately casted a protective spell on him. But his eyes widened in surprise when he realized that his spell was slower than usual.
His eyes then narrowed suspiciously at the enraging shifter who was running towards him. 'Seems like his power has awakened,' Rehan thought grimly.
Since he could not stop his chant, all he could do was to place both of his arms in front of him to protect himself.
A powerful punch hit him, sending him several meters away. Rehan nearly fell as he stood his ground. The dirt underneath his feet created a long trough-like hole.
Blood spurted out of Rehan as he wiped his mouth, his eyes flaming with fury. It has been a while since he was pushed like this.
Dane frowned as he studied Amarok. 'Time control magic?'
He was surprised to see that power in a shifter. It was not rare but rather, it was more of a power that can only be used by a lycan. Seeing the fur on Amarok, he did not see any traces of white fur in him. Unlike Rea. Hence why Dane was surprised.
Amarok then looked over at Dane once more and rushed over to him. He stopped in front of Dane and said in disbelief, "A lycan?"
Dane just frowned at him.
"Since when did you become a lycan? Were you a lycan all this while?" Amarok continued to ask, his face full of disbelief.
Before Dane could reply, Rehan had launched an attack, creating a huge crater in front of them. Apparently, he had missed his mark and if he didn't, the two of them would not be standing still when it hit them.
While they were distracted by the attack, the mutated rogue had swept in and kicked Amarok's legs, making him fall. He then grabbed one of the latter's legs and threw Amarok at Dane, who was caught unaware.
Both Amarok and Dane fell to the ground.
Just as the two shifters were about to stand, Rehan had already casted a spell, making the ground beneath the two to surge up, pushing them in the sky.
Without any standing, the two shifters were helpless in air, giving the warlock an opportunity to cast another attack spell, hitting the two shifters mid-air.
It was hard for Dane and Amarok to avoid the attacks since it was undetectable.
When the two shifters finally dropped down to the ground, there were wounds and scratches everywhere on their body. They were struggling to get up when Rehan sent another attack on them.
The mutated rogue was having a field day with this as he grabbed a broken bark of a tree and threw it at the two shifters.
He was laughing hard, pleased at how things eventually turned out.
However, his joy won't last long when several more shifters come in to join in the fun.
And they were not friends with the warlock and the mutated rogue.
"Can we join the fun?"
