Natal Weapon

There was a road in the Northern district that was split by a fork. The path to the left was still considered to be the main road. However, to the right was the path to the imperial palaces. The main street in the northern district was called Wild Jackal Road. At the end of the wild jackal road was an enormous, opaque barrier, a surging force field of multiple energies.

This was the barrier formation that divided the Northern District from the Magus District. Standing before it, a menacing cacophony of shadows emerged from the darkness: tall figures shrouded in dark cloaks and leather armor, their faces hidden beneath masks. The only thing distinguishing them was the red pinpricks of light that shone eerily from their eyes, burning like flames of hatred in the night.

"The squad leader should be here with the device any moment. Once he arrives, be ready to move out!" commanded the group leader, transmitting his voice through force, "Our mission is to annihilate the House Lord and honored elders of the House Trillwolf. The members of this house are like a bunch of vicious wolves! They always move as a pack or in no less than pairs, so don't get careless."

"Little boss, what about the old Grand Patriarch?" Chimed a subordinate.

"The old geezers are still in seclusion, and they won't be an issue. The strongest are the red and blue twin wolves, Fire First, and Heavenly Rain. They're both titled Void Philosopher Sages at the Prism Mage Rank. The squad leader and his elites will handle these two, as we cannot handle such opponents.

"As for the rest, there is no one else above Gold Mage, and there are no human sage experts that I, Louis Black of the Hinterland Dark Elves, fear below the Void Philosopher realm. As far as the Saints are concerned, they only have two Heaven's Masters who are both absent! We will slaughter our way through! Everyone else can fan out and slaughter anyone in the way!"

"Little boss, they say the House Lord can jump many ranks to fight. Perhaps we should..."

"Rumors. Propaganda. There is simply no way he destroyed House Shu alone. All the reports say the Five Elements were with him. He is nothing without the pack. His dark powers as a medjay do not scare our kind. I will kill Lord Trillwolf myself," said the leader menacingly.

However, immediately afterward, he felt a chill slide down his back and jumped back instinctively.

"Is that so," A huge blade scar suddenly ripped through the earth where the dark elf stood an instant ago.

Louis Black didn't have time to wonder how this intruder had intercepted his sound transmission as he was forced to focus on the figure before him.

A young man who looked to be about 30 years old was sauntering out of a broken building's shadow, wearing a broad and amiable smile on his face. The radiance of his smile blinded a few of these dark elves. Particularly the females.

The man appeared before the dark elves in a vision of terror. His shimmering black cloth armor seemed to absorb all light, while frosted jewels on his hands and an icy wolf pendant necklace around his neck sparkled in eerily cold contrast. His muscular torso was mostly exposed, displaying a menacing strength that made the dark elves shrink back in fear.

He wore a turban on his head, making him almost unrecognizable, but the two diamond ear gauges, crafted from Ice Spirit Wolf fangs, gave away his identity immediately. The frozen fangs caught any light source and reflected it back in red, even brighter than before, giving the man's face a scarlet glow that sent a chill down their spines.

Seeing this man smile, they all felt their hearts go cold with dread.

"House Lord Osiris Trillwolf, Medjay of Death." spat Louis Black.

Lord Trillwolf didn't speak.

Instead, from his body, an intimidating death force was released. A deep violet-black energy suddenly surrounded Osiris. The primary skyland forces create a phenomenon of six fist-sized black spheres of light in the sky above his head. His turban was blown away, revealing long dreadlocks that hung to his back normally but were currently floating in the air.

The eyes of the wolf pendant on Osiris' neck emitted a piercing grey light, and a twelve-meter-tall wolf phantom manifested behind him. The wolf was surrounded by blue fur, except for the silver patch on its back. Its glaring teeth looked to be made out of pure diamonds. The wolf raised its muzzle to the sky and released a howl that shook the void before jumping forward in front of Lord Osiris, materializing into tangible form as it landed.

Ten more black lights were created in the Lord's atmosphere following the wolf's appearance.

"Blue Waves Ice Demon Wolf!"

"Everyone set up the formation!"

"KILL!"

The dozen or so dark elves swiftly organized their ranks and fell into formation as they prepared to wage war.

However, the one in charge of this group, Louis Black, was petrified where he stood. He began stammering out words under his breath incoherently. Like himself, these dark elf warriors of his squad were all saint path warriors. However, Louis Black was also a high-level Sage. He could perceive the skyland phenomenon in the man's atmosphere naturally.

"Ad..advanced..pow..it's...no...six..sixteen?" Louis Black was terrified as he retreated by half a step. "16 AP. It's really 16 AP… no way. It can't be! How could you possibly have reached this step… how could you be this strong!?"

"This? Is this strong? Do you think this is all of my strength?" asked Lord Trillwolf indifferently.

Rage filled the eyes of the other dark elves as they looked at Louis in shock. It was taboo for a dark elf to retreat from a challenge, even worse for one with the royal name 'Black.'

However, Louis Black's words caused them to pause, as they all filled their eyes with true essence to take a glance at the phenomenon of the heavens and earth happening in the void above their opponent. Such an origin phenomenon couldn't be directly witnessed without heavenly power. Unlike Louis Black, none of these subordinates were sages.

They didn't have the innate sagelight in their eyes.

Upon witnessing this sight, the color in all their faces drained. Those lights and that aura could only mean one thing, and boy, was it bad news.

"Peak Prism Mage?" questioned Louis Black in a panic. He turned and shouted, "Everyone retreat! Go now before..."

"Savage Wind Cutter!" before Louis Black could finish his words, Lord Osiris flashed past him instantly.

Louis saw the world spinning, and as he fell, he saw...his body? His head was already sent flying through the air. Blood dripped from the twin scimitars that had appeared in the medjay of death's hands at some point.

"Kill them." Lord Trillwolf gave the command, and his Blue Waves Ice Demon Wolf launched itself at the dark elves.

Swiftly pinning down the first two targets, its fangs flashed with a chilling blue light as it bit and gnashed. The heads of two dark elves were bitten off while two more dark elf warriors were pinned under its paws, the ice power in its fangs effortlessly freezing the body of its victims before any blood could spill.

"Flank him!"

Three dark elves attacked the Blue Waves Ice Demon Wolf from behind while one went for its side, but the huge wolf's mighty tail swatted the foes behind it, crashing into the trees. A meter-long and incredibly sharp ice saber rose from its forehead like a rhinoceros horn, releasing a menacing chill.

To the squad of dark elves' abject horror, the Blue Waves Ice Demon Wolf impaled the dark elf attacking from its flank, shattering the man's saint heart and tossing him away like a sack of old potatoes.

"Formation, get back in formation!" yelled one of the senior warriors as the dark elves moved to circle the beast.

"Blizzard Blitz!" called out Medjay Trillwolf furiously, sheathing his blades and withdrawing a nine-blade-tailed whip. This weapon possessed the Lord's exact aura, but his strength exploded once it appeared.

"Natal Weapon! He's refined a natal weapon!"

"LEGEND!"

"Scatter, scatter! Retreat!"
