Sigewulf let out a scream of pain that was so heartbreaking.
For the Lycans, his screams were unbearable. But no matter how loud Sigewulf screamed, they couldn't do anything.
The Lycans were paralyzed in place. Some have even fallen and become unconscious.
Their bodies went limp as if their souls had just been driven out of their bodies.
Sigewulf who initially lost control of himself, and only allowed the power of God Svorus to help him defeat Dragon-Erend has now returned.
His consciousness had fully returned and he had to swallow a painful disappointment.
He couldn't do anything to Dragon-Erend even though he sold his soul and got the power of the God of the Fallen Beast.
Dragon-Erend lands next to Sigewulf. A cruel grin dominated his already hideous face.
Streams of lightning continued to whip around his entire body.
Sigewulf was now unable to fight back. The hand that was an imitation of Chaos Magic was now gone.
His condition now is very pathetic.
"Just kill me," Sigewulf said.
"No," Dragon-Erend said. "You have to tell me first. How did you get that power you just used."
Sigewulf stared at Dragon-Erend with almost closed black eyes.
"Why do you want to know?" Sigewulf asked.
"I'm just curious. Tell me then maybe, I'll let you live," Dragon-Erend said.
Of course, he didn't really intend to do that.
Even though the task he had to do was make these Lycans leave, he wasn't sure that this Lycan in front of him would leave as soon as Dragon-Erend let him live.
Dragon-Erend knew that this Lycan would rather die than let his enemy let him live and run like a coward.
After everything this Lycan had done to fight him, he would launch attacks again the moment Dragon-Erend looked away.
However, giving such hope to a creature that is already dying and very close to death usually works.
Dragon-Erend got the theory from reading novels and watching animated films. He didn't know if it will work out but there was no harm in trying.
"What do you think? You can go with your friends and never bother humans again," Dragon-Erend continued his proposal.
He wouldn't try too hard after this. If Sigewulf didn't want to say anything, then he would just kill him right away.
"All right," said Sigewulf.
Dragon-Erend was surprised. As it turned out, what he said did work.
"Say it. Where did you get that power? And what exactly is it," Dragon-Erend said.
"God Svorus is the God of The Fallen Beast. I got that power from a temple deep in the northern mountains," Sigewulf explained.
He didn't want to say that he had just sold his soul to get that power. If he said it, his pride would be hurt.
"Where exactly is the temple located? Isn't the northern mountain range so vast?" Dragon-Erend asked.
"Lycan Gargoyle. If you can find it, then you can find the entrance to the temple."
'A temple where a mysterious God resides? I don't know why but I feel that it has something to do with that God named Ozynk. Then this might be a clue to finding Laston.'
Sigewulf looked at Dragon-Erend and said. "Are you going to let me go now?"
His words made Dragon-Erend snap out of his thoughts.
He nodded in response. Then he turned away from Sigewulf.
As Dragon-Erend had expected from the start, Sigewulf immediately jumped and lunged at Dragon-Erend from behind him.
He mustered what strength he still had in his body for a final strike when Dragon-Erend turned away from him.
In a moment Sigewulf's claws were about to hit his back, Dragon-Erend's turned his head.
Sigewulf saw the glance and devilish grin on Dragon-Erend's face.
It was then that he knew, what he wanted to do was a complete waste.
Dragon-Erend had known his intentions from the start and he tricked him into saying everything in the vain hope that he would let him live.
But now it's too late. That realization came for a fraction of a second.
It wasn't enough for him to dodge.
Dragon-Erend's hand caught Sigewulf's neck as he came charging toward him.
Then Dragon-Erend raised his other claw. Flashes of lightning enveloped the claw.
*CRAAATTTTT!*
Dragon-Erend's claws pierced Sigewulf's chest and penetrated his back.
Sigewulf stared at Dragon-Erend with black eyes that widened as his life slowly faded away.
"I knew you would do that," Dragon-Erend said.
After that, Dragon-Erend opened his mouth.
The last sight Sigewulf saw before his death was the lightning energy that had gathered at Dragon-Erend's throat.
*JZZZZCCCCHHHTTT!!!*
The torrent of Thunder's breath struck Sigewulf's head.
Since now there was no more Magic protecting Sigewulf's head, Dragon-Erend's Thunder breath could destroy his head more quickly.
Dragon-Erend drops Sigewulf's lifeless - and headless - body to the ground.
Just like before, when the Lycan died his body reverted to his human form. But without his head.
After finishing with Sigewulf, Dragon-Erend walked toward the Lycans who were staring at him in fear.
Every step that brought Dragon-Erend closer was a dread closing in too.
Grim swallowed hard. He glanced at the rest of his pack.
They were already paralyzed by fear and overwhelming Magic pressure.
Only Grim was the only one who was able to stand up and speak among them.
Because he had quite high Magic energy and also because he knew that he had to show his strength to those Lycans.
Grim walked up to the Dragon-Erend and tried to stay steady amidst the Dragon's pressure.
'Why did he come to me? Is he going to attack?'
Even though he thought about that, Dragon-Erend wasn't worried at all.
His MP had been replenished after absorbing the Chaos Magic energy.
And he is ready to fight back. It's just if he was going to fight again it would be very troublesome.
When Grim was in front of Dragon-Erend he said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Oh, mighty Dragon."
'What is this? He doesn't look like he wants to attack at all.' Dragon-Erend thought.
"Forgive us, let us go. And then, we will serve you."
Dragon-Erend didn't expect him to get such a proposal. But, that's not a bad thing.
