Chapter 205: That's it?

Oblivious to the worried concern inside Krys' mind, Dane and the other packmates continued to attack the rogues and warlocks. Despite being outnumbered, the shifters were stronger than them as they easily retaliated against the ambush. It doesn't matter whether they were attacked by surprise, the strength of the shifters were stronger than them. One has not yet counted for the remaining Cairin packmates who were not yet near the sacred tree. 

Seeing that the rogues and the warlocks were about to be defeated, Krys immediately thought of a plan. Although he was not that afraid of Rehan, he feared the man behind Rehan. He had never met Harding before, but he had heard stories about him; his cruelty and brutality. He had seen the look of terrors in other people's eyes when they talked about him, even Rehan. And he knew that Harding wasn't a person that one should take lightly of. 

He immediately sends out a telepathy to all the present warlocks, telling them to give buffs to all the rogues. He then casted buffs on himself. Seeing the 'useless' mutated rogue having a hard time dealing with Dane, he decided to help him. He did not want to feel the wrath of Harding later.

At that time, Dane and the mutated rogue were exchanging blows after another. The pressure and power emitted from the punches send vibrations throughout the area that it even reached those at the tree. 

Rae was trying her hardest to fight off the warlocks and at the same time, to ensure that the tree did not receive any damages from both the warlocks and the impact of Dane's fight.

There were some noticeable damages to the tree since there were some spells casted by the warlocks that the shifters were not able to defend against. There were some burn marks on the tree caused by the warlocks and fortunately, it wasn't that serious. Some of the Cairin shifters who were already there had to forgo joining the battle and concentrating on healing the tree, including Isaiah Cairin.

The mutated rogue started to become agitated, realizing that his strength was on par with Dane… or perhaps, less. He knew that he was fighting a lost cause but he did not want to lose to a demn shifter. 

He was brought back to life when he became a rogue. Lord Harding gave him this life! Lord Rehan gave him this strength! He will not disappoint the two of them and will do everything it takes to win.... Even at the cost of his life!

Not satisfied with the way things went, the rogue quickly jumped on Dane and was about to land a punch down. However, Dane was much quicker as he managed to side-step and landed a kick towards the rogue's side abdomen, sending him flying. 

The rogue winced in pain but he managed to slow down from flying further as he stabbed his claws on the ground, decelerating his speed. He soon jumped onto his paws and headed straight for Dane, who was waiting for him.

Dane purposely let the rogue slammed his claws into his face, making Dane's back nearly bend backwards. But the former managed to withstand the slam as he stomped down on the ground, holding back from falling.

Shocked, the mutated rogue took a step back. He had used all of his strength in that punch but it seems like it was nothing but a small graze from him to Dane.

"You…"

"My turn," Dane said. He then returned his claw right in the face too, sending the rogue flying. 

SLAM! 

The mutated rogue gritted his fangs in anger and in pain as he flew across the area once more. Fortunately for him, he didn't fly that far as he was saved from falling further by slamming against some of the nearby fighting rogues. 

Dane frowned. Such a pity that he didn't manage to knock him dead. Seems like he needs his soul to get used to his body after a long hibernation inside that tree. 

He was about to rush towards the mutated rogue when he felt something heading towards him. He immediately jumped aside and soon after, there was a fireball whizzing past by. Unfortunately for Dane, it did not hit the mutated rogue as he too managed to avoid the attack. 

Dane growled as he watched Krys floated next to the mutated rogue. Seconds later, he saw the warlock casting more and more spells on the mutated rogue. Seeing how the rogue seems to look as if he was getting stronger, Dane knew that this doesn't bode well for him. He guessed that the spell must have been quite powerful to be able to strengthen the rogue. 

It seems like Krys had not been slacking behind on his spell classes. 

And he was right as he could sense the strength of the mutated rogue has become stronger, ten-folds. In fact, Dane could sense that their strengths were probably more or less the same. And before he could speculate more, the mutated rogue had already appeared in front of him and punched his face, sending him a few steps back.

Without giving Dane a chance to recover, the rogue continued to pummel the former in the face, all the while laughing hysterically. 

The mutated rogue was slightly happy when he saw Krys appear beside him earlier. He knew that he must have finally shown himself to support him. And after being casted on, he was deliriously ecstatic when he felt power surged throughout his body. He felt he had a chance to win against Dane. 

While the rogue was happily punching Dane in the face, he did not notice the look in the latter's eyes changed. 

After a few more punches, when the rogue was about to land another one, he was surprised when Dane caught his claw in his. He turned his head towards Dane, who looked at him with fury in his eyes. 

Before he could do anything, he felt immense pain from the claw that was caught in Dane's.

AAARGH!

Dane had gripped the rogue's claw so tight in his that the latter felt like his bones were breaking. Which it did. 

After subduing the rogue, Dane twisted his wrist and pulled back. Soon after, the rogue felt like his arm was about to be pulled out. Which again it did. Dane immediately clawed off the arm from the rogue's arm, emitting a cry from the latter. 

Krys was shocked at the Lycan's brutality. He was about to rush over to assist the rogue but before he could reach them, Dane had thrown the amputated arm at Krys, knocking him off. 

Not wanting to let the rogue to recover… or even to let him escape, it was Dane's turn to pummel him. The rogue felt he was submerged in endless pain after his arm was amputated that he did not have the strength to retaliate nor to defend against the attack. 

Shortly after, the rogue died with many holes in his body from the pummelling of Dane's. His eyes were wide open in shock when he died as if he could not believe that he would die at Dane's hands. 

Looking down at the dead rogue on the ground, Dane frowned. 

'That's it?' he thought.
