The blade rebounded off of Seph's skin, sending the sword flying out of the grasp of the attackers. A gasp of surprise escaped the swordsman's mouth as Seph stared him in the eyes. Aaron held everyone else back, letting Seph take the spotlight in this situation. "Let him have his moment. After all, he now has his own upgraded body. He needs to enjoy it." Aaron whispered to everyone as they waited in the shadows, Aaron manually masking everyone's auras. He didn't want to reveal anyone to the Werewolves. At least, that's what Aaron presumed their open auras to be. Upon closer inspection through the trees, he realised that he was correct, although not in a sense he was expecting. They weren't entirely wolven humanoids like he had expected. They were almost humans, with a wolven tail and wolven ears on top of their heads. However, this did not stop them from being vicious foes on the battlefield.
Aaron watched as Seph lifted up his arm, blocking another sword slash with his flesh, sending a look of shock throughout the three assailants. They had thought he had just gotten lucky with an angle of deflection or something along those lines. However, upon seeing this feat of strength, they knew that they were in trouble if they tried to attack Seph again. However, the third Werewolf tried his luck in curiosity. Seph grabbed the blade, destroying the sword with his pure grip strength. Seph then flung his arm forward, flicking his wrist hard enough to shatter the Werewolf's sternum. The third Werewolf went flying into a tree behind him, cracking the oak it was made of. The other Werewolves watched this in fear, especially the one being chased by the three assailants.
Seph turned around, seeing a male Werewolf behind him, a scar like the one he had in his memories lining his face. However, it was underneath his right eye instead of his left. Seph looked slightly disappointed, but he didn't let that get to him. Aaron then walked out, signalling the others to stay behind and watch. Aaron's eyes glowed a violent red, lifting the Werewolves that had tried to attack Seph into the air by their necks. The skin where Aaron was grabbing began to decay as Aaron was using Ultimate Destruction.
"Aaron, stop. I'm not going to kill them, so calm down and release them." Seph explained, placing his hand on Aaron's shoulder. "Oh, I am calm. I'm just showing them why letting their comrade attack was an idiotic idea." Aaron explained, releasing his grip on the Werewolves. His eyes flashed pink, and the damage to their skin was reversed. "Alright then, deal with them as you see fit, Seph. However, if things get out of hand, we'll help you." Aaron told Seph, everyone else walking out from the trees. Seeing this amount of people was enough to scare the hell out of the two Werewolves. They looked at Aaron with a fearful expression as he just sighed. "Jude, shoot off a VERY weak blast of Ultimate Destruction. Don't absorb any power. Just fire off a small piece of your innate strength." Aaron told him, and Jude followed along, pointing his right index finger towards the sky.
A thin stream of energy pierced the sky, shot by Jude. It was followed by an almost ear-shattering sonic boom. Everyone there, including Aaron, crouched down and covered their ears. Aaron watched as Free expression some levels of pain at hearing the explosion of sound, but he used Boundless Telekinesis to make her temporarily deaf. It was just until he believed it to be okay for her to hear again. After all, who knows how much damage stuff like that could do to someone's ears. He also did the same for Jude, as they were both regular humans. He didn't wish for them to feel the pain of an eardrum explosion.
Aaron waited for the sound to die out and removed the deafness from both of them, letting them hear once more. "You must have been listening to the specifications I gave him. That was the weakest he could muster, and he's just a regular person. Play your cards right if you want to survive this encounter. I do not wish to cause more pain than I need to because my end goal is peace." Aaron explained, as the Werewolves only thought of one thing. 'Hypocritical, huh?'
"Listen. We just want to absorb the Werewolves into our Kingdom. Aaron Stone, the person who just threatened you, got permission from a king of a human Kingdom. He was allowed to make his own Kingdom, and now they're holding a tournament. That skill that you just saw there could be one of the prizes. After all, they obtained said skill from one of the possible rewards from winning. We came to invite you to live in our city, rent-free if you know what that means. All you need is money to buy items or just procure your own." Seph explained, his hands moving around as if he was trying to depict it with visual movements along with words.
Aaron brought up a small view of the city as an illusion. "This is our city. The Kingdom of Monsters, if you want to call it that. This is where I plan to hold the tournament. Think of it as the most advanced place on the planet, as it probably is. It isn't anything like your average city. It's made from new materials, can teach you new things about this planet, and can even help you save the lives of other people. I'll also be taking champions from all the races. Those are people who I believe worthy enough to be let in on the Kingdom's deepest secrets. So, do you think you'd find something like this to be an interesting offer?" Aaron asked the Werewolves, who looked at him in shock.
"Hand over that traitorous soldier, and we'll let you talk to the leader." The main Werewolf told Aaron, pointing at the Werewolf with the scar under his eye.
