The moment the order had been given, panic and fear and filled all the hearts of the pirates.
As pirates, they knew that they would live and die by these dry lands, but none of them had thought that it would be on such a day or by Werewolves.
Fear overwhelmed them and many had immediately attempted jumping off the ship.
Even Captain Crimson was taken back by this.
However, Black Lightning stoke down from the sky, instantly turning the Werewolf that was about to rip the neck of the pirate into barbecue.
It was at this time that everyone noticed that the sky had become a bit darker than usual.
It the dark sky was black lightning dancing around like snakes excited to leave their nest for the hunt.
Everyone was still perplexed as to what was happening.
However, Lighting stroke again, smashing into the chest of yet another Werewolf.
And yet again, and again.
Gadu instantly understood what was happening. "Shit! abandon ship!!" he screamed and the Werewolves immediately rushed their way off the ship.
However, more black lightning struck even as they escaped.
Many were not so fortunate to have left in time.
Meanwhile, the crew members of the Crimson Leviathan all stared in surprise.
The showers of black Lightning stopped nearly as quickly as it started, spraying its voltage venom on only the Werewolves.
Captain Crimson went to the edge of the ship. He laughed heartily at Ulric who had also been struck by the lightning, but for his strength, had managed to survive.
Captain Crimson raised a middle finger to him, "Suck on this Dog face!"
Ulric grunted, his skin still sizzled with burn marks.
"So he was right! that ship was protected by an Elder Witch!" Ulric commented, "Hmmm! not bad."
Captain Crimson laughed heartily, "stupid dogs! Who the hell do they think they are attacking my crew!" He laughed some more, "Tobi, take over the helm. I need to take a rest."
The Pirate crew was still in awe of what was happening, but Captain Crimson had already left.
The moment he got into his cabin, his knees dropped to the ground, and he hugged himself as he cried tears of joy.
Many did not know what happened just now, but he did.
When he had said that the ship was protected by an Elder witch, he had not been too sure, but he said it anyway.
After all, he remembered that Glenn had casted a spell on the ship for the safe arrival of Lenny and Perseus at their desired destination.
This spell, even Captain Crimson was aware that this was a one time use. After all, the only reason that the spell had even lasted this long was because he had told Glenn that it would take a couple of days before they reached their location.
This was the wastelands, with no specification on the time limit, Glenn had put up a spell that would extend a bit further.
Captain Crimson had not been sure that it would work, but it did anyway. At the same time, it allowed him to win some respect from his crew members.
No body knew that through out the period, he wanted to shit his pants in fear.
The Iron Back Werewolves were a kind that no one in the Waste lands wanted to mess with.
Lastly, Captain Crimson knew without a doubt that Glenn's protection was a one time thing.
If those iron back Werewolves were to come back, then he and his crew were going to be truly finished.
However, he was also sure that they would not even think of doing that.
Two Werewolves had already died before their very eyes.
The power of an Elder Witch was truly strength to be feared.
While Captain Crimson was on his knees thanking all the gods that his ancestors worshipped for preserving his life, Ulric and his band of Werewolves rose to their feet.
"If I'm not mistaking, that ship was from the City of Milk and Honey!" Gadu voiced out.
Ulric nodded. "It was!" he looked around. Their number had dropped from nine to seven.
"Elder Witch Glenn huh!" he frowned a bit.
Unlike the others, Ulric was strong enough to withstand the strike from the black lighting. After all, he had that special blood from his pack in his veins. Although it still burnt his flesh a little, it was not something that he could not quickly heal with time.
"If we can't get information from the pirates, we will have to get it from the half-borns ourselves." Uric added.
"But Master Ulric, that is the giant Shadow Werewolf territory. If we go there, we will be..."
"Welcomed!" Ulric interrupted Gadu. "The aim of the Ambush was to get the eye of the Primordial beast. A fate worse than death awaits us with Mr Augustus if we don't come back with it! Even if it means going into their territory, we will do it.
After all, we are not going to cause problems. We will be going as guests. Besides, I am more than certain that the Giant Shadow Werewolves would rather gift us the half-borns than have problems with us.
Lets go!" Ulric gave the order and dove forward.
Gadu frowned a bit.
In his mind, he was starting to doubt his sense of reasoning when he choose Ulric over his brother back home.
However, he was too far in deep to back off now.
He shook his head as he followed along.
Meanwhile, back at the City of Milk and honey, Lenny was stretched apart by the tendrils of the Giant Octopus.
While he was cracking his head for a way out of the mess, two guests had appeared.
their entrance had been silent like the blowing of breeze.
Even the giant Octopus had not noticed their arrival until Lenny raised his head at them.
"When I head that a Gladiator brought down an entire demon town to its knees, I thought he was going to be one monster of a man..."
