14 The Magic Beasts
Someone running through the woods, panting until he finds a cave and enters it. - Calm down, calm down, he can't find me here. From the middle of that forest something is approaching, the gleam in his eye was blood red, he seemed to be looking for something until he let out a shrill howl as he looked at his prey. - not this one...
Turning to the timeline of the previous chapter, Hytori sees something in front of him that was huge with fangs and claws, his eyes gleaming in that dark, his body is seized with fear and a chill of that down his spine as he sees the creature howl, that one. sound was shrill and then focused their vision and began to run towards them with a furious attack.
Hytori: -...
The much larger wolf-like creature attacks him with his paws full of highly sharp claws. Hytori was paralyzed to see that approaching however much his body did not obey.
Aysa: I got it.
Asya manages to catch him before the beast could hit him however the yak that was near him was butchered by the blow of that huge creature.
Hytori: -A..Aysa ...
Aysa: Stay calm.
Hytori's body trembled like green rod when a wind blows in his direction, he was terrified to be exact.
Yashina: Ray of light.
Yashina launches an attack toward the beast that was devouring the remains of the freshly killed yak.
Kamero: That's a big big wolf.
Yashina: Be careful he killed the yak with just one paw.
Kamero: "You weren't kidding when you said he was strong and big"
Kamero thought about what the old man told him earlier the beast feels the blow of Yashina and moves away staring at them.
Yashina: Now that she knows we're here, she won't let her get hit easily.
Kamero: -Then, we have to use everything we have.
Yashina: -Multiple rays of light!
Kamero: -Ice magic, freezing crystals!
Several beams of light come from Yashina's side taking pointed shapes toward the beast along with several 20 to 30 cm crystals that spin at high speed, the beast then howls and its howls begin to distort the space in front of it and suddenly its strokes thrown at them are bounced and change direction it seemed that something had been blocked by something then ...
Kamero: -Yashina protects herself!
Kamero notices something and creates a wall of ice in front of him that when touched by something breaks completely causing Kamero to be hit and fallen shortly thereafter. Yashina had jumped before she was hit and manages to escape.
Yashina: -Kamero!
She runs to him, Kamero was on the floor with wounds on his arms.
Yashina: -Are you ok?
Kamero: -I'm fortunate that the barrier was able to withstand much of the impact.
Yashina: -What was that?
Kamero: That howl looks like it spawned a sound attack that blocked our attacks and still came my way.
The beast stares at them, its huge paw crawling on the ground as if it were about to hunt its prey.
Kamero: We have to be careful with that howl.
Yashina: Right.
The wolf begins to run towards them, Yashina reaches out his hand and throws several spears of light at the deflecting beast and high speed, kamero still feeling the wounds tries to freeze the animal's paws to prevent him from moving any further, the The beast was too fast and would soon reach them if they didn't do something.
Aysa: - paralyzing knives!
Aysa who comes close to them after turning around throws her knives with its paralyzing effect on the beast with the intention of for its movements, the beast without realizing its approach, ends up being hit and falls to the ground violently with its rigid body.
Kamero: It looks like it worked - panting.
Aysa approaches the creature to make sure she was paralyzed and to apply the final blow, she puts the creature in no and feels something.
Aysa: -No ...
The creature suddenly stands up, its body was in every movement again, Aysa's effect didn't last long and was soon broken by the creature, she when she sees that tries to run the wolf soon howls and her sound attack hits Aysa in full. playing against a mound of grass that was there that cushions the impact. The others when seeing that do not know what I do, Hyori who was hiding nearby runs where she went.
Hytori: -Aysa!
Yashina: -Kamero ...
Kamero: -What are you thinking? - Seeing her eyes full of fury.
Yashina: -I'll get this over with, use your magic and create defenses for everyone.
Kamero: -Right.
Kamero creates an ice dome around him and where Hytori and Aysa were to protect them.
Hytori: -Aysa! Aysa
Aysa: It seems my time has come ...
Hytori: -Don't say that woman.
He takes something from her pocket and gives it to drink, it is a healing portion she has given him for emergencies, they see nothing inside the ice dome. Outside Yashina fought everything she had against that dodging beast and struck her with its claws, her body already It was already all bruised from those claws, they would not take much longer and had to use their strongest power to kill that beast.
Yashina: -magic of light! Lux Hexagon!
Around the creature several beams of light form a hexagon losing the creature within it that begins to howl to get out of it, - perish! - Yashina then closes his right hand tightly and within the hexagon several beams of light are looped towards the beast from all sides including from below the ground, striking that creature that tries to protect itself no longer resists the numerous attacks and its sound protection disappears leaving it being struck by all the rays, a howl of pain is heard and an explosion is generated covering everything there with dust, the domes that Kamero created were brutally hit and almost demarcated, finely when the dust lowers, revealing the domes there.
Kamero: -She got it ...
The domos crumble. Hytori and Aysa look to see what happened, Aysa was better thanks to the healing portion but still barely moved.
Hytori: Where's Yashina.
Kamero: -She ...
Hytori: -Rarr.
Hytori leaves Aysa near kamero and runs to find Yashina amid the crater left by her attack.
Hytori: -Yashina!
Yashina: -... tori.
A weak voice is heard by hyori who soon runs to her, Yashina was paler than normal her body had lost a lot of mana with that attack.
Hytori: -Yashina.
Yashina: -... tori.
Hytori: -Don't talk ...
Yashina was very weak, her eyes sparkling as she saw Hytori standing near her. Kamero and Aysa come to them and then Hytori picks up more healing potions and hands them over so that they can recover at least partially from their injuries.
Hytori: What kind of beast was that ...
Kamero: There are things in this world that are very dangerous.
Aysa: -At least we managed to accomplish the mission.
Yashina: -Yeah.
Everyone smiles until a howl shuts their souls in an instant, 3 more magical beasts seem in the woods.
Hytori: That can only be ...
Kamero: Damn.
Aysa: We have to get out of here.
They get on as fast as they can and start running, if a beast had given all that work, 3 of them would kill them in the blink of an eye. Hytori had Yashina on her back moving slowly, she could not run now others try to use their spells to delay the approaching beasts until:
Yashina: -Hytori runs away from here!
Yashina throws herself to the ground and creates a light barrier in front of her to prevent the teeters from advancing to Hytori.
Hytori: -Yashina!
Kamero: - We protect her. Go after help!
Hytori: -But ...
Aysa: -Hyrori!
Hytori: -Aysa?
Yashiana: Run Hytori!
Then he turns and starts running without looking back, the only thing he could do was run and run to try to find someone who could help them, he could only hear the noises coming from his back, his eyes watering from his helplessness. , they couldn't use their magic as they did at the event and even with training he could only make small shadows that would not help anything there, he needed that overwhelming power from before.
After running for a while his thoughts were fast in his mind until he heard something running after him in the forest, striding and fast four-legged, undoubtedly one of the beasts that was hunting him, he could only think one thing. what happened to them? "since one of the beast came to them could mean that the others had been defeated and now the beast wanted to finish the job, he ran faster than most the creature was already on his tail, so he jumped on a steep descent to try to outwit creatures sooner she was getting close again, he had begun to think it was his end in that world until he saw a cave in mio to vines that descended a rock wall.
He came in panting, his racing heart trying to control himself so that the beast couldn't find him there, but the thought of those 3 who had been left behind didn't make him calm, Yashina even weakened so that he could escape. Fuck you, Hytori! That sweet, determined voice of hers was the only one that held him steady so far.
Hytori: Calm down, calm down. - panting.
For a moment the forest was quiet and silent, the beast didn't seem to be hunting him anymore, had his plan worked? It was what he wondered until he heard slight movements come close, he searched for something there, sniffing and watching every movement of the forest until his blood-red eyes looked straight at the boy who felt his heart skip a throat, the creature's howl alerting him with a bad omen, the beast then rushes toward him with that glare in the look of a hunter behind its prey.
Hytori: -That's not ...
