51 Getting ready for war

"Chieftain the third day since we have given the Lobo Clan our demands is coming." One of the wolf kin warriors of the Azan Clan knelt in front of the Chieftain. The Chieftain of the Azan Clan was a rather young wolf kin who was twice the size of all the other warriors of the clan.

He was Deza the Chieftain of the Azan Clan. Despite his age, he was chosen as the Chieftain simply because of his brute strength. He was the greatest son of the Azan Clan who valued strength above all else, he was also the supposed husband to be of Luna.

Deza looked at the warrior who reminded him of the deadline he gave the Lobo Clan and nodded his head. He got his knives out and spoke to the warrior.

"Get the warriors ready for battle, tomorrow the Lobo Clan either submits or dies."

...

While the Azan Clan was preparing for war, the Lobo clan was having a bit of a problem. Luna was surprised to see only eight people from the Guild had arrived to help the clan. She then started talking to disguisedfox as to why that was.

While Luna was confused and complaining to disguisedfox, Raymond was listening in but couldn't understand a word that was said.

'Hey system, is there a skill that could help me understand all languages?'

'Yes, there is, it's a Guild Master skill that could be unlocked when you reach Level 45.'

When Raymond heard the system's answer he looked at his level which was 42 and his Exp bar that was barely growing even with the help of his [Guild Master's Influence] skill. Even with the increase number of players, he was still having problems leveling up. While he was thinking if he should risk going deeper into the Elisora forest to fight stronger monsters, disguisedfox approached him.

"Guild Master, Luna wants to know why we only brought so few guild members."

"Tell her it's cause this is all the members we need to win." disguisedfox told Luna what Raymond told her, and before Luna could say anything back one of the Lobo Clan's warriors started shouting.

"What is he saying?" Clarise asked disguisedfox who was getting a bit tired of translating but did so anyway.

"He said that he was right not to trust the filthy humans. They're simply toying with us. The reason they brought so few is that once they feel like it would be losing battle they'll flee. I don't even think they can fight our weakest warrior. If we bring these weaklings with us to battle the Azan Clan would mock and laugh at us."

When Clarise heard what the wolf kin warrior had to say she nodded her head as if she understood something.

"Tell their leader to bring out their strongest warrior and I will face that person in one on one combat." disguisedfox translated what Clarise said, which made the Lobo Clan warriors howl. One of the warriors stepped forward. He was a male warrior who had a huge sword-like weapon, made from a bone of a large monster or animal that was attached to some wood as a handle. Simply by the looks of it, the weapon seems to be quite heavy. It was a crude looking weapon but based on its shape it could easily break bones.

"I am Kenta a proud warrior of the Lobo Clan. Come at me little girl and I shall show you how a true warrior fights." Clarise didn't need disguisedfox to translate what was said as the gestures the warrior was making was enough for her to understand that the fight was on.

Clarise took out her short sword and dashed forward without hesitation. Kenta and the other Lobo Clan warriors who were watching were surprised by Clarise's speed. Caught by surprise Kenta could not evade the incoming sideward slash. So he had no choice but to block. Seeing as Clarise was rather skinny and the weapon she was using was a twig compared to Kenta's weapon, the warrior of the Lobo Clan was confident that the strike would do little to no damage to him at all.

When Clarise's sword was about to make contact with Kenta's weapon, her sword changed shape. Clarise's one-handed sword grew in size and turned into a two-handed bastard sword. With her strength enhanced by her combat energy, Kenta was blown away. He flew a few meters before stopping.

While Kenta was trying to get back his balance and enter a fighting stance, Clarise quickly changed her sword back to the one-handed sword and rushed towards Kenta. This time with him being unbalanced Kenta wasn't even able to lift his weapon to block the incoming attack. Clarise's movements were swift and precise as Kenta felt the cold steel of the sword was already pointing at his neck.

Everyone was shocked by how quickly that duel ended. The Lobo Clan as well as the Guild Members of the Guild Eternal were shocked by Clarise's prowess. But more than that they were surprised that her sword changed from a one-handed sword to a two-handed sword and vice versa during battle.

The Lobo Clan thought it was another one of the human's trickery. On the other hand, the players were excited since that was not a skill from the swordsman skill tree. That would mean it was either a skill from an advanced class of the swordsman class, or it was skill from a different newer class.

"So are there any more challengers?" Even though they couldn't understand the human language, the warriors of the Lobo Clan could pretty much guess what Clarise just said. Yet not a single one of the Lobo Clan warriors took up the challenge. Even if they considered Clarise's ability to change her weapon during a battle a form of trickery, they understood her skills. None of the current Lobo Clan warriors were her match.

Thought it was shameful not to accept the challenge, it would be even more shameful to go accept the challenge despite understanding the difference in skill. The Lobo Clan warriors had their heads lowered feeling humiliated and ashamed of themselves.
