Fairy Tail: God Slayer - The Path of Life and Death!

Chapter 13

***

- Wow, brother! Look! - Once again, Wendy pulled Aidan by the hand and pointed to the side.

After yesterday morning came and the two travelers went on. Aidan caught fish in the morning and fed the active girl, and then thought a little about the future. First of all, what to do with it and how to be in general? So he came to a simple solution - the Cat's House. To begin with, he decided not to think too much and just find this place, and only then figure out what to do next. He unconsciously did not want to think about parting, albeit with a barely familiar girl. She did not bother him as much as he thought at the beginning ... That is why he did not tell her anything about their direction, because he himself did not know what would happen in the end.

In the forest, the birds chirped, as always, loudly. In fact, sometimes their singing turned into whole melodies that bewitched the listeners. Therefore, Aidan was often distracted and just slowly listened to this pleasant sound. The scorching sun had already begun to leave its tan on the boy's body, thus slowly accepting the world.

Wendy was constantly surprised at the animals she met, and now she met another one. Aidan sighed and still decided to look at what she was showing there. Suddenly he froze.

"Here ..." - He grabbed Wendy's handle tighter and involuntarily took a step forward, covering it with his body. While the red lizard has already bristled to the full and began to hiss. Wendy finally realized that things were taking a dangerous turn. In addition, the lizard turned out to be not small at all, it even surpassed an ordinary wolf in size, and its spiked head and angry eyes spoke of all intentions better than any words.

Aidan and Wendy began to slowly move away, while the guy already created a small ice blade in the palm of his hand. In a past life, he was not a coward, at least he was not afraid of explainable things. Therefore, even in this place, I was not particularly afraid to encounter wolves a few days ago. Only now everything was different, the creature in front of him breathed steam and looked too incomprehensible. The completely unfamiliar creature seemed even more frightening! Mainly because Aidan didn't even consider the escape option, because he just couldn't leave Wendy!

The beast continued to hiss and slowly grow into a roar. Suddenly, Wendy screamed and Aidan turned his head back sharply.

- Crap ...! - two more of the same spiky muzzles appeared behind the back, with the same red scales and scarlet eyes. It looks like these three animals decided to attack and not give two children a chance to escape. Aidan pulled Wendy's body against him, just as the beasts began to slowly move towards him. He tried to retreat and not turn his back on them. So it turned out that now they were slowly approaching from the right and left sides. But suddenly another creature crawled out of the bushes, even more than the others, already with orange skin and even longer spikes on its face! The fangs of these creatures glittered brightly in the sun, saliva dripped onto the soil leaving an impressive trail. They slowly crept up to the prey, leaving deep dents in the ground, and their clawed paws were perhaps even more dangerous than wolves.

Aidan alternately cast glances from side to side while continuing to squeeze the knife, he well understood that the situation was too bad and no matter how he tried, in such a position victory could not be seen. For the first time he was cornered, for the first time he felt the trembling of a man who was gripping his arm with a death grip. Wendy was afraid, but she did not make a sound, continuing to hold on to the "brother."

Aidan finally sighed and stroked his sister.

"It's okay." As soon as his soothing voice sounded, Wendy flinched slightly and raised a frightened look at the only person in her life. The guy just smiled an encouraging smile, which instantly drowned out all the fears and growls of bloodthirsty animals. At the same moment, he returned his gaze to the four creatures, pulled Wendy behind his back and growled:

- Appealing to death, appealing to balance! - at the same moment his hands turned pale again, but he did not pay attention to the renewed feeling of coldness. He simply put his palms out to the sides and shouted under the bewildered glances of the animals:

- The law of death, clear my path! - at the same moment, hands covered with black magic collapsed sharply, and then a terrifying wave of death magic burst out in all directions. Only behind the boy's back there was a safe zone, because the whole blow was met by any life that got in the way of the wizard!

Death magic swept through like a tornado, for the first time in his life Aidan used it so much at once. Of course, he knew about the possible consequences, but he had no choice. His life magic was very weak, he simply could not do anything. Using ice, he risked giving way to one of the animals and Wendy could get hurt. His last resort is death magic, so he instinctively used it!

The grass and trees dried up at the moment, but Aidan could not even imagine that the animals would not die. A wave swept through them, but they only burst into mournful squeals, and after that their bodies were covered with cracks and noticeably pale. Some have completely faded eyes, but they still survived! The main one of the four creatures was even able to rush at the person who dared to wound him!

At the same time, Aidan's entire body was pierced by a terrible grave cold, even his thoughts seemed to have changed. The desire to take life has grown with renewed vigor! All fear evaporated, he just threw himself at the spiked monster with his bare hands. Black veins reached the boy's face, and both eyes took on a bloody expression. At the same moment, a black whirlwind appeared on his right hand, which instantly fell on the spiked head of the monster!

With a sad squeal, he finally broke down and his body slammed into the ground, throwing several stones into the air. The death magic dissipated and part of the creature's spiked head completely evaporated. But Aidan did not stop, with a satisfied laugh, his gaze turned to the still tormented creatures, he had completely forgotten about Wendy, such an excessive use of death magic affected his emotions. So he just wanted to feel even more alive!

He still could not walk very quickly, because he only limped reached the creatures writhing in pain, the magic of death instantly began to move. Another whirlwind of the Godslayer's magic appeared on the boy's hand, and then he overtook the beast beating in convulsions!
