Kargalgan's Army

Honing on the location of the roar, Sunny and the group of horsemen tensed up as they saw the monsters charging toward them.

Sunny looked up at the monsters approaching their direction. He noticed sixteen nightmare creatures altogether. Ten of the sixteen creatures were dog-like monsters. They were at least three meters tall and more than seven meters long from the nose to the tail. The creatures had four long legs with massive paws, each paw ending with a set of horrifyingly long claws, five in each front leg and four in each hind leg. They each have large, long skulls and muzzles, two terrifying blood-red eyes glaring from their sockets, and two perky upright ears. They had black and mahogany fur with thick undercoats on their massive bodies that made them bigger than they already were, ending with a huge bushy tail that hung straight down from their rear.

Sunny watched as they raced to rip his group to shreds with their fangs.

'They are all awakened. All these bloody wolves are awakened. Eight awakened beasts and two awakened monsters, to be precise Fuck!'

Looking at the six remaining nightmares at the back of the charge made Sunny's heart sink. 'This is just the scouts'

Behind the pack of charging wolves were large creatures that stood taller than the average man, with powerful long arms and legs, huge slabs of muscles moving underneath tough red skin, and jaws lined with four vicious fangs that jut out from their underbite. They have beady red eyes and a generally foul demeanor; some of them have dark hair, while others have gray hair, and they are all over ten feet.

They looked like savage warriors with tribal tattoos carved into their red skin, with leather and bones of an unknown beast used as armor; they were all armed with axes and spears, which they all drew in the charge.

'All the orcs are awakened demons. If the scouts are this strong, how powerful are the rest? And I am one hundred percent sure that Tusk has already noticed us with cunning intelligence.'

A cold chill ran over his body as he shivered in fear and the cold air.

Sunny tried his best to calm down as the master rallied the Awakened group and prepared for battle.

In a split second, a large axe has been sent flying with incredible precision and speed toward the direction of Sunny's group.

One of the Awakened, with a large build, stepped forward to block the attack; holding a pavise shield in one hand and a mace in another hand, the man came dangerously close to the axe, followed by a deafening sound of clashing metals.

"BANG!!!" The shield of the Awakened suddenly glowed mysteriously after making contact with the axe.

Although the awakened successfully stopped the attack, the force of the axe caused him to move a couple of steps back and made his arm a little numb, he had to quickly regain his bearing and get back to the front of the group.

The master turned to Sunny and then the charging monsters.

"Explain yourself, slave!."

"I. I have no idea; there was only one monster, only one, and it should have been dead; I can't believe this is happening. This must be a dream, no it a nightmare." Sunny replied with a bit more exaggeration of the fear and disbelief he already had. 'I hope I can at least get him to believe me and not kill me on the spot.'

The master took a few seconds to study Sunny's demeanor before turning to look at two awakened in particular.

"Ready your bows and take out the bloody wolves first; kill as much as you can, and reduce the charge. The rest of you take care of the survivors."

A second later elemental magic arrows could be seen flying through the air at speeds no mundane human could perceive, leaving a light trail as they hit their intended targets.

Three wolves had arrows impaled their heads, instantly killing them, two wolves had arrows lodged in their necks, and four had multiple arrows sticking out of their bodies; only one of the Awakened monsters was unharmed.

As soon as the arrows landed on the targets, Sunny watched as Angron and Shield dashed toward the incoming wolves together with Creepy following closely behind them.

The first to make contact was Angron, the axe he was dual wielding suddenly glowed red-hot as magma started dipping from the edge; within a split second, he swung his axe downward, beheading one of the wolves that had an arrow in its neck, killing it instantly.

He then blocked another wolf that had arrows embedded in its body with his other axe before an arrow found itself in the wolf's skull killing it. Without spearing the other dead wolf a glance he kept his momentum and charged towards the uninjured awakened monster.

'It took only three seconds.' Sunny was blown away by the strength of an awakened, he knew how powerful they were from the book, but witnessing the strength in person, he realized that words couldn't comprehend what he just saw.

Sunny then turned to see the shield awakened bashing his shield into the arrow on the neck of one of the injured jamming the arrow further down its throat before smashing its skull with his mace, he quickly turned and raised his shield to block the wolf that tried to attack him but something unexpected happened, his shield suddenly shined brightly before unleashing an explosion toward the wolf, reducing half of the wolf's body to a mess of turn meat and bone. He then went to face the second awakened monster.

'Wow, they are all powerful; even creepy is going toe-to-toe with the last wolf that had an arrow in its neck. If awakened are this strong, how strong are masters, saints, and the mysterious sovereign?' Sunny gulped. 'Let's leave that thought for the future me; my job now is to survive my first nightmare.' Still observing Creepy's battle, Sunny noticed that Creepy was staring at him; he then gave him a creepy smirk before maneuvering the wolf in his direction.

"That Creepy son of a bitch!"
