Chapter 402 Versus an Alpha
Ignius shrugged. He was already used to it and besides he was not the one who wanted to be there. He just followed the man beside him. "I'm just here to watch. This person beside me wants to have a word with you all. He complained that you were all rowdy and uncultured."
The man looked at the person beside the dragon and gave him a look form head to toe. He snorted and looked back at the werewolves who were with him. He then started laughing and so did the other werewolves.
"Are you sure you want to complain?" His gaze was now on Cygnus who still had a smile on his face.
"Yes," was his simple answer. The dragon already started it so there's no other way to go around it.
Another round of laughter echoed in the forest because of the answer from Cygnus. "Really? You looked really weak though." The man commented. If there was a worthy opponent in there, it would be the black dragon.
Ignius looked at Cygnus to see if he was really weak and to his surprise, he could not smell the demons in him right now. He smelled like an ordinary human. Add to that the fact that he looked weak and his body build wasn't that muscular.
He then looked at the werewolf who was laughing and shook his head. If he could smell the man's original scent, he would surely hesitate to challenge Cygnus. The dragon grinned and couldn't wait to see the werewolves begging for their lives.
"What are you laughing at?" The werewolf saw that the dragon was looking at them with a grin and he even shook his head.
"I just couldn't wait to see your reaction." Ignius finally couldn't help himself as he laughed. His wings then appeared from his back as he flew up. "Good luck!" He gave them a salute before he stopped midair and retracted his wings.
The werewolf gave the dragon a look before he focused his gaze on the man who was standing not far away from him. "Alright then, let's see what you got. I just hope that you won't die easily."
Without further ado, the werewolf attacked without even transforming. He had his fist clenched as he rushed forward to punch Cygnus. The man looked at the oncoming fist in slow motion before he stepped to the side to dodge the attack.
The werewolf was surprised but he did not let it appear on his face. He continued to attack now with both of his hands but Cygnus was able to dodge them all. The punches were explosive and it even made a 'swooshing' sound but all of this did not matter to Cygnus.
"Is that all you got? If you want to hit me, you should be faster than that." A whisper sounded beside the werewolf's ears before Cygnus disappeared and returned in front of him.
A loud growl came from the werewolf before he finally transformed to his massive form. He stood on all fours at about five feet and his chocolate brown fur softly swayed dominantly. He howled before he focused his gaze at Cygnus who was also looking at him.
Cygnus was not wrong, the man was of Alpha level but this Alpha was a bit weak. He was indeed huge and intimidating but it did nothing to the man. He waited for the werewolf to attack. The large wolf rushed forward and opened its jaws with every intention of biting through Cygnus's skin.
Cygnus waited for the wolf to get near before he held both of his upper and lower jaw. The wolf stopped and started to struggle but no matter how he tried, he could not get away from the man's grip. The wolf tried to scratch the man using his claws but Cygnus easily dodge them.
With a grin on his face, Cygnus gripped the jaws tighter and started to pull it apart. In one swift motion, he tore apart the Alpha wolf in two. Blood splattered on the ground and on the trees that were surrounding them. Ignius whistled at what he witnessed.
The other werewolves growled and suddenly attacked after their comrade was defeated. Sharp claws and fangs were all aiming at him. Cygnus clenched his fists and started to punch them hard. He would also kick the wolves and send them hitting the nearby trees. His movements were extremely fast and almost invisible to the eye.
The werewolves had no time to take care of their comrades because their enemy was faster than them. Their supposed to be organized movements became more and more sloppy. They lost coordination and Cygnus took this chance to utterly destroy them. After almost thirty minutes, Cygnus threw the last body on the ground.
Ignius gently landed beside the man covering his nose. The stench of blood was overwhelming as he looked around. He then looked at Cygnus and nodded his head at him.
"So, what do you think?" Cygnus asked. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and slowly wiped his hand. The white cloth was dyed red after he thoroughly wiped his fingers.
"Impressive," the dragon grinned. He enjoyed watching the werewolves getting destroyed and he came to the conclusion that the man was telling the truth. "Are you going to stop here?" he asked.
Cygnus raised his head as his eyes focused in front of the dark forest that lies ahead of them. He could already feel that they were not alone. The other werewolves were already on their way and he did not intend to back out. He would finish what he had started.
"I won't." He grinned. He stretched out his right hand towards the front and snapped his fingers.
An invisible force traversed the distance from where they stood towards the not yet visible enemy who were coming their way. A straight line was carved on the ground with the bushes and trees getting destroyed along the path where the force passed through. Howls and growls echoed from the dark forest and after that there was silence.
The dragon could only stare at the destruction that man's power caused. He did not see anything but he felt the darkness behind it. His mana was tainted and yet it was not. It was a contrast and he could definitely use it to his advantage.
As they waited, the rustling of the leaves and the sound of tree branches breaking got louder and louder. Several shadows appeared out of nowhere and attacked them. An invisible force blocked the attacks and pushed them back. When the shadows landed, they were actually wolves.
Both of them stood there unbothered despite the appearance of the other werewolves. Not from the wolves who attacked them stood a man. Cygnus could feel that he was an Alpha but different from the first he fought. He could tell that he was powerful.
Before they could act, the wolves were attacking again. Aside from the first group that attacked them, several groups also appeared from behind the trees and attacked them too. Ignius showed his wings and flapped it with vigor. The wind created from his wings deterred the wolves and stopped them mid-air.
Cygnus wasn't idle as he covered him and Ignius in a swirling black mana. He then crossed his hands in front of him and suddenly stretched it out forcing the black mana to widen and transform into needles that attacked the werewolves. There were whimpers and howls after the counterattack that Cygnus did.
Once the black fog that appeared from the attack dissipated, wolves were all lying on the ground. There were black spots on their bodies that were slowly spreading out. The wolves who managed to avoid the needles looked in apprehension at their comrades who were down. They then looked at the man, more vicious than before.
Without any words, the wolves were on the move once again. They started to circle the both of them and were attacked by the group. They did not attack all at once. Cygnus looked at the alpha who was watching from the back.
He dodged a claw that was swiping towards his direction and as he somersaulted, he did not forget to release his own attack. A wall of his black mana cut through the group of wolves who were aiming at him. This wall reached all the way towards where the alpha was standing.
"Are you sure that you will continue standing there?" He infused his voice with mana and sent the message to the alpha.
Cygnus landed and as his feet touched the ground his black mana was released once again and this time, it was in the form of a pointed shaft that reached high. Several wolves were pierced through at the sudden attack. Even the ground was scorched and turned black after Cygnus released his mana.
All of the wolves who were aiming to kill them died. Cygnus did not stop there as he flashed in front of the alpha. He easily got him by the neck. His hand tightened around the man's neck as he had the full intention of killing him.
The alpha did not make any sounds and in an instant, he transformed into his lycan form. A form that only true alphas could take. The man was now at least seven feet tall with a big body and deadly claws. The lycan lunged forward with his claw raised above as he swiped down.
