Chapter 286 Plans (Part 1)
Meanwhile,
Everyone stood in the ir place as they wa ited for the next order. These were the support team members and they were always ready to go forward and join in with the main team.
While they were waiting, their badges lit up and started blinking as everyone took them out. On the badges, they all could see a singular message.
"All support team members are to evacuate and follow the main team. We are moving forward and some changes are to be implied," Looking at the text, Tim smiled slightly. He had understood that Ray had taken full control of the situation and most probably avoided the main contender around him.
He looked to the support team leader and asked, "What should we do?"
The leader, who was girl with brown hair and black eyes looked back at him as if she was staring at a fool. She did so for a couple of seconds before she spoke, "If you are in your senses, then you should do as we all will. We will follow the orders of the main leader," As she spoke, she began rounding up everyone and asked them to move forward.
Tim also did the same. He activated his ability partially as his feet were transformed. Gaining a golden sheen, Tim kicked the ground heavily. A huge dent was seen on the floor as Tim jumped high in the air.
He was the first one to run forward and follow the main team as others followed his example. Some used their abilities to go forward while others simply ran as fast as they could.
The leader was a transport mage. She could alter rocks and earth to turn them into a super fluid that acted as a liquid but had the tendency of a solid too.
She controlled the liquid to carry most of the people around and formed a huge wave that hurried forward. Another member also used his magic ingeniously. He covered his hands in flames and used the ability to blast himself forward.
Within minutes,
They reached where Ray and the rest of the people previously stood. Some had followed Ray into battle while others waited for them. Sirius was there to facilitate them and he grouped everyone into teams so they could utilize their strengths efficiently.
Along with Sirius was Hailey. She looked absent minded and seemed to be coping up with her body. Sometimes, her nails would elongate and turn into claws or her eyes would glow purple. It was all a process as she was trying to concentrate on herself and learn more about her newly formed body.
She knew that she had unimaginable strength but she didn't know how to carry it out in full. She didn't know what other powers she had and also, she had felt her magical abilities increase too but didn't know to what extent.
For all this, she had to wait. So she could train and fight other enemies and discover herself.
Sirius was besides her. He could make up her thoughts due to the connection he shared with her and as her alpha, he had enough rights to control her actions directly.
However, he let her be as not to disturb her. He was not a maniac to treat someone of his pack with such harshness. Now that he turned Hailey, he hated her less and thought of her as someone from his pack.
Someone that he had to protect and take care of. This was the instinctual response that came from his werewolf blood that ran thick in him.
Even his system appreciated it and pumped out more missions for him to complete. All for the pack. Sirius had to say that he would be lying if he said that he wasn't sick of all this but as a werewolf, it was his responsibility that he had to uphold.
"Okay everyone. Since Ray is leading charge with the first batch, I will be leading it for the second batch. So follow alongside me and let's turn this place around," Saying that with much fervor and zeal, Sirius controlled the shadows around him.
He raised his hand as a shadows aura covered him. A black armor full of archaic runes appeared as it dug into his flesh and covered his body. Blood fell down his body but he didn't care.
For strength, pain and blood was nothing. The armor gleamed dangerously as it gave off an eerie aura, similar to the aura of death and destruction.
The vague Phantom of a wolf appeared behind him. This time, the wolf was even more distinct and clear as it resembled a creature from the mythical ages. The spikes and those eyes. They were so intimidating that everyone around Sirius felt chills up their spine.
Sirius himself was scared. He could feel the powerful aura rolling off from his body and it made him wonder if he had gained such strength in the past few days.
Sirius didn't know, but he had indirectly purified his bloodline. By turning someone and forming a pack, he had embrace his werewolf self even more and this led to his bloodline turning purer.
Sirius put these thoughts at the back of his head. He concentrated at the task ahead and for that, he needed a weapon. He thought of something and remembered a weapon he had.
When he left for the academy. His mother had handed him a rusty spear. She said to him that it was his father's prized weapon that had been passed down the family for ages.
At that time, Sirius found it absurd that a scrap spear was passed down the family for so long. Even when he tried to scan it using his system, there was no result and it all came as unknown.
From that day on, Sirius had kept that spear in his inventory. It was until today that the spear came into his mind.
"Let's try it out and see what it really is," Sirius thought and accessed his inventory. He saw the spear laying there, just as he left it. He brought the spear out and just as he touched the spear.
The rusty and uneven edges of the spear cut his finger, "Owww," He scowled in pain and sucked his finger. The finger healed in a moment but blood had dripped on the spear.
Like a sponge, the spear absorbed the blood without any hesitation. Slowly, veins were formed in the spear as the blood flowed in them. Sirius looked at it in astonishment as a system notification sounded,
[Ding!! Host has formed a bond with a soul weapon],
[Weapon Grade:- Unknown]
[Weapon Level:- One]
[More information is being assessed. The host is required to wait for complete information],
Reading the system message, Sirius tried to calm himself down. His shock was greater than ever and even he couldn't believe it. The scrappy spear his mother had given him was a soul weapon and one that formed a bond with him with such ease.
It was as if the weapon was designed for him and had recognized him easily.
The huge shadowy phantom behind him smiled. It's presence became even more prominent as one could see faint ash colored fur on it's body.
It opened its maw as it's fangs could be seen all clear. The others who looked at the scene just took a few steps back in fear. However, just as they blinked their eyes, it was all gone. As if it was just their imagination.
Sirius raised the spear. It's balance was perfect and so was sits length, shape and size. It seemed to align with him perfectly. A smile lit up on his face as he looked at the dark hallway in front of him. He could smell the stench of blood coming off from he hallway and I made him want to wreak havoc and carnage.
Hailey stood besides him and was losing her composure as well. She was hungry and the hunger made her lose control. She drooled badly at the sight of blood in the hallway and the smell of it all made her want to run at it and tear the flesh off from the trolls.
The others behind them both couldn't see their expression and they were all serious. It was a time of life and death and they would give I their all to kill the trolls and get out of this damned place.
Sirius raised the spear high in the air and then brought it forward. He screamed at the top of his lungs and then howled in the air.
[Battle Cry],
[Description:- A buff to all the allies fighting alongside the Alpha. Also, a boost in confidence and allows others to fight better],
The description was short but the battle cry was useful. As everyone heard the howl, they felt energized and better. As if they were all in sync with each other.
Sirius took a step forward as everyone followed behind him. They yelled at the top of their lungs and went on forward. It was now their time to clear this place and move forward to their freedom.
