Chapter 10 Heart Of A Beast

Fang's body lay in a large pool of crimson red blood that kept increasing at a concerning rate, yet even after Fang's consciousness had long since faded his pitch-black eyes were still wide open as they stared straight at the cruel Chimaera that didn't even flick when it pierced through him.

Fang's last thoughts before losing consciousness were, 'Damned...beast! you better hope that I die here or I'll come after you and rip you limb from limb with my bare hands!!' Blood flowed endlessly from his chest like a mighty river from ancient times and flooded the area around his body. Fang's body laid flat on the ground with his back facing the clear blue sky, and his right cheek planted flat against the ground. Fang's right cheek to his iris was covered in blood, and his iris which was pitch black had changed into an ashy grey lifeless colour, which made his body look like the very definition of a corpse.

.....

The Chimaera that noticed the pitiful creature that dared to attack it pierced through its chest could not help but retort at it, "you dare to sneak attack me with such minuscule strength or did you think I wouldn't kill you on the spot!" The Chimaera revealed an almost human look of ridicule as it raised its deadly tail into the air, and swung it around slowly as if it were a snake. The sharp lethal tip of the Chimaera's dragon tail glistened underneath the rays of the golden sun as it pointed towards Fang's corpse while completely treating the White Wolf as if it were air, completely disregarding its entire existence.

The White Wolf saw an opportunity to escape and decided to take it, but when it saw its saviour about to be pierced once more. Guilt filled its heart as it got stuck in an intense internal struggle between its morals and survival instinct, yet no matter which angle it approached this issue the wisest choice was always the choice of escaping to preserve its own life and forget about the creature that was already basically a corpse.

"I have to escape quickly or else I'll get slain as well besides what's the point of sacrificing myself for a creature I do not know," the White Wolf's voice of reason that supported self-preservation above all else sounded first as it expressed it's a desire to live, but a different and softer voice voiced out it's an objection," No that's not right and you know it since when has our proud wolf clan ever returned kindness with evil."

"So what, that's not a valid reason for us to rush into our death," the cold voice of reason sneered at the voice of morals.

"How do you plan to face father when you make it back home after committing such a shameful act. Has your skin gotten that thick already?"

"At least we'll get the chance to meet him with our lives still intact."

....

The two voices kept arguing with each other as they couldn't come to a mutual understanding. The voices may seem to possess a personality of their own were nothing more than the embodiments of the White Wolf's morals and survival instinct. During the White Wolf's moral struggle the Chimaera had already gathered a large amount of concentrated mana before activating its skill [pierce] as its tail became shrouded in a blackish mist, and thrust it swiftly towards Fang's body.

The strike was both quick and ruthless as it pierced through the air like a bullet. The mana fluctuations in the air alerted the White Wolf and brought it out of its internal struggle immediately silencing the two disembodied voices that rang in its head. The Wolf shook its head and cleared its mind as it decided to listen to its heart even if it means certain death, yet its shining silver eyes had a look of someone who had no regrets as it stretched its mana to the limit causing its body to grow muscular and larger by 25% as it's snow-white fur was simultaneously covered by a silver aura.

The White Wolf's figure flashed as it tore through the air like a speed train immediately appearing Infront of Fang's corpse like a flickering silver streak of light, and saw the darkish mist-covered tail that pierced through the air carrying a lot of moment and terrifying sharpness.

The White Wolf raised its front paw high into the air before bringing it down with an equally frightening moment that seemed as though it would cleave the heaven and earth apart. The ashy grey coloured claws that were harder and more durable than steel collided with the incredibly sharp and highly lethal dragon tail of the chimaera.

DING!...BOOM!!

The two strikes collided with each other as cracks formed in the air, and intense shock waves vibrated throughout the battlefield causing the leaves from nearby trees to be blown off, completely turning the place into a more desolate area than it already was.

The White Wolf's claws could only stop the tail's moment for an instant before being pierced through. The Chimaera withdrew its tail from the White Wolf's bloody paw before it swiftly waved its tail splattering Wolf's blood on the ground.

The White Wolf ground its teeth as it fought against its urge to wail in pain, and raised its paw in the air as it could no longer use it to support its body mass. The White Wolf's gaze was filled with anger, resentment and viciousness like it's never felt before, but there was not even a hint of regret as it awaited the final strike that would put the final nail in its coffin.

The Chimaera's lion head revealed a twisted smile as it stared at the two ants in front of it and waved its dragon tail around once more. The dragon tail waved around in a slow rhythm that was very entrancing to however gaze upon it, but in the eyes of the White Wolf the dragon tail's waving rhythm was like the grim reaper's scythe as it harvested lives every time it attacked.

The Chimaera gathered and concentrated its darkish mana as it prepare to use its skill once again, but this time it wanted to finish off the White Wolf since it felt that it had played around long enough for a single day and if it dragged this out for too long it might have to fight a losing battle against the White Wolf's Clan leader who was known for being kind to its children but the same could not be said for its enemies as not a single beast who had ever angered it has lived long enough to see the next sunrise.

The Chimaera saw the White Wolf that had closed its eyes seemed to have resigned itself to its fate and activated its a skill [pierce] once more as the darkish mist-covered dragon tail the shot straight towards the spot between its eyes, but considering the dragon tail's size if it lands a direct hit on the White Wolf's head regardless of where it aimed the White Wolf's head would be left with a large gawping hole in its head just like Fang's chest.

The Chimaera was assured of its victory even to the point that it closed its eyes as to flex in front of the ants that were suffering from excessive blood loss, but instead of feeling the sensation of bones cracking, flesh-ripping apart, and fresh blood on its tail it felt an excruciatingly painful filling coming from its tail causing its eyes to instantly shoot open.

The first thing the Chimaera saw when it opened its eyes was a massive beast that was so big to the point that it completely overshadowed it. The Chimaera felt a shiver down its spine as it reluctantly raised its head to gaze upon the lumbering beast that was 10 meters tall with snow-white fur. The Chimaera panicked as its mind only had a single thought as it raised its gaze towards the beast's head,' it's the Wolf king... it's the Wolf king... but why is he here...i-i need to escape immediately,' these thoughts flooded the Chimaera's mind as its gaze fell upon the Wolf King's head, but its previous domineering figure was no longer visible on its face as it was replaced by pure carnal fear towards the Wolf King

The Wolf King focused a bit of mana in its throat which activated a special ability [Voice of the wilderness], and an ice-cold voice came out of his throat, [lowly beast, tell me, why did you attack my children?] The Chimaera who was scared out of its mind as it felt the overbearingness that was contained within the Wolf King's ton and could only comply with the wishes of the Wolf King as it also focused mana in its throat and activated the special ability, [Voice of the wilderness] which was an ability that every creature in the wilderness possessed but not often used because they did not need to speak to their prey nor enemies.

Chimaera--[Honourable Wolf King...how may this lowly hybrid be...of assistance...to you]

Wolf King--[You dare to freight ignorance Infront of me, or are you saying that I'm blind]

Chimaera--[Of course not... I wouldn't dare to insult a man of your calibre]

Wolf King--[Then why did you attack my children?]

Chimaera--[ Ah...Oh that... it...it was all just a misunderstanding]

Wolf King--[Oh a misunderstanding you say]

Chimaera--[Yes yes it's all a misunderstanding]

Wolf King--[Oh I see... in that case, this is also a misunderstanding]

The Wolf King that was grabbing the Chimaera's tail tightly within its left paw extended its claws and dug them deep into the Chimaera's tail as it raised its right paw and waved it heavily towards the Chimaera's head which clawed at its left eye instantly turning it into a one-eyed beast. The Chimaera felt intense pain from two locations on its body at once.

ROOOAAARRR!!!...
