Chapitre 61: The Power Of A White Wolf II
"Papa why? Why did you fail us all? Did we really not matter to you?" Asked the little girl with a furious contorted expression this time.
Suddenly, a iron hard grip wrapped around his ankles, crushing them in the blink of an eyes, yet he did not scream.
Looking down, he watched as his wife gripped onto his ankle with only half her body being present.
"Dad, why did you let mom and I die? Why did you let Angela die?" asked a slightly deeper voice from behind. It was a young boy, no older than Zarch and Zach, looking towards his father in an expressionless manner. The boy exuded no killing intent, yet the only think his father did was cower under the boy's feet.
"I'm so sorry... Please, please I'm sorry! GOD WHY! WHYYYYY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME! HAVE I NOT SUFFERED ENOUGH! WHY DO YOU TAKE MY FAMILY AWAY?!" Shouted the grown man like a 5 year old having a tantrum
"Don't blame the gods for your mistake! YOU failed us! YOU were the one who made that deal! YOU were too weak to save us!" Shouted the little girl
"YOU are the failure! YOU are the reason we suffered for so long." Snapped the corpse of his wife while turning to dust
"YOU are the reason we are all dead" Calmly states the boy as the blizzard enveloped his body, making him disappear on the spot.
"Papa.... Why were you so weak?" asked the little girl as the cracks started to spread to every inch of her skin, making her eventually come to her inevitable demise.
The wizard watched as his entire family turned into dust in front of his eyes, weeping his eyes out, breaking down and slamming his fist on the floor so many times his own hand had turned mangled.
"Why... Why...why...why..why.why----WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" The wizard roared. Cracks started to form around him, as if the whole dimension was breaking under the weight of his guilts and sorrows.
The wizard carried on crying over and over again, losing his sanity a little more at every single tear that left his eyes.
Finally, the dimension gave in and shattered around him.
As he opened his eyes, on top of he stood a giant wolf with a single paw on the wizard's chest. The wolf had wings, yet they didn't flap once even though they were both mid air. It was as if air had solidifies under his feet to allow the wolf to stand there.
With a single claw protruding from the paw, the enormous wolf asked with a chuckle "Did you really think you could attack my tribe and get away with it? And even after that, you have the balls to use a Duke tier spell within my territory?!"
The more the wolf went on speaking, the more furious the tone was. Every single hair on his body exuded such a powerful aura, that a single clot of his fur would make a Peak liquid stage mage kneel before it. The feathery white wings spread wide the yellow nerves within each feather brightened up to such a degree, they started to sizzle the skin of the wizard.
"LIGHTING OF ABSOLUTION; ZEUS' WRATH, 2ND MOVE!" The wizard roared, while also suing the remain mana he had from his first attack to through the most powerful lighting bolt I had ever seen towards the humongous wolf.
When I had made eye contact with the wizard, he had gotten distracted and lost focus for about 7 seconds, before instinctually trying to run away, in a half unconscious state. For some reason he was not very fast, but that was probably because his dumbass was still have asleep and couldn't use any of spells.
Even then though, It would have taken me at least a minute to catch up to him, and at the point he would have been to close to human civilisation for me to do anything against him. However, my prayers were answered with the appearance of Juilam, who smashed the Wizard onto solidified air. A few seconds after I had theorized that the Wizard would beg for his life, he had used the second move of the Zeus' Wrath spell that created such a large thunderbolt that it kicked up a huge cloud of dust at least 100 meters tall and 200 meters wide.
"JUILAM!" I roared while jumping towards the direction of the blast. 3 figures moved at extreme speeds to stop me, while a single large figure flew above me and stopped me from going forwards by landing in the way.
Opening my eyes, My brain was once again berated by an influx of information that almost fried it. Yet even through the pain, I tried to look for Juilam within the dust. Then I heard it. A single flap with the power and weight to topple mountains. The dust cloud dissipated as fast as it had come, with a single flap of the vibrant silver wings protruding from Juilam's back. This time, they weren't laying down but instead, they were puffed up, every single feather looking like swords rather than feathers.
The divine silver light exuded so much power that everyone, including me was forced to kneel. This was the true power of light magic. The magic that is closest to divine magic, only rivalled by Darkness itself. Of course, they are nothing like true divine magic, but it far surpassed anything I could make out of Divine magic.
"YOU HAVE DARED TO INTRUDE MY TERRITORY?!" Snapped a voice that resounded throughout the entire forest. The voice was so loud it caused many ear drums to ring uncontrollably, whole the wolfs back at the tribe were kneeling in front of the power of their leader, in both fear and pride that their leader is so powerful
'If that's Juilam, what the hell is everyone else in his father's village like' I couldn't help but asking inwardly.
"Please! I have a family! If I fail my family will die! Have mercy!" Shouted the wizard while trying to crawl away from the dangerous creature he had pissed off.
"WOULD YOU HAVE LET US GO IF WE WERE TO BEG FOR MERCY!? WOULD YOU HAVE GIVEN US THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT BECAUSE WE HAVE CHILDREN, PARENTS AND FAMILIES?!" Shouted Juilam as his eyes burned with fury as they watched the man try to slowly crawl away.
"Please! Kill me! Just protect my family!" pleaded the man while smashing his forehead on the gravel, seeing there was no longer an hope in running away.
"Pathetic" A whisper left Juilam's maw, yet it reverberated within all our ears with the same strength as it did to the Wizard.
"Lightning of Absol-" Before he could even finish his sentence/ least ditch effort, a loud bang was heard, then a splat
There I looked at the body of what used to be the Wizard, wide eyed, with a mixture of respect and slight fear. Such power could not be something normal.
What used to be the body of the wizard was not absent of anything above the chest area, Even the arms that stayed at the above the waist to beg for his life had been completely obliterated, not leaving a single speck or cell behind. Even though I had seen many things today, what just happened was the most terrifying use of power that I had observed in my life. Juilam hadn't used a single spell, just his roars and wings, but not only was he able to completely shrug off a Duke tier spell, but a single flap of his wings had completely dispersed the after math of it, creating arguably more damage than the spell itself.
'What a monstrous demonstration of power' thought my grandma with a expression of defeat on her face. She knew that I did not want to leave this place, and she did not know why. She did not know if I was doing this due to my own will or if I was being forced to do so by Juilam or Keaurin. Either way, even she could not survive an all out fight against Keaurin, not to even think about trying to survive a single breath from Juilam.
She had come to acceptation that she would not be able to take me back, and even though I did not know exactly why she hated beasts so much right now, I did not care enough to ask.
A few moments later, Juilam walked on air for a little while before reaching us, looking down at me and Keaurin for the sky as he stood on thin air.
"Well done you two... I'm really proud of you, especially you, Keaurin. You have made such a large advancement in such a small amount of time, and that fire dance thing you did Atlas, that was amazing." praised Juilam with the wolf equivalent of a smile across his snout. I couldn't help but chuckle looking at the weird smile across his face, as I had never seen it before since the day I had met him.
"Thanks! I was really worried for you there. Can't believe you just shrugged off a duke tier spell! I would have turned into cinders if it was even a supreme level spell." I tried to compliment with a genuine chuckle.
"Chief! That was amazing!" Complimented Keaurin with few words that had more impact than all three of my sentences.
"Thank you, you two. If you keep complimenting me like that I might start to blush" Which we both started to laugh at, me laughing more casually than the genuine laugh of Keaurin.
Suddenly, from my side I felt a familiar presence walk past me and move upwards as if she was walking on thin air, because she was. It was my grandma who was walking up to Juilam after letting the conversation between all of us finish.
When she finally had gotten to the same level as Juilam, she looked him straight in the eyes before asking "Did you brainwash my granddaughter, or maybe threaten her? Did you influence her to become more beast like, like you mons- beasts." Asked my grandma with a solemn tone in her voice.
"Hahahahahaha..." Started to laugh Juilam to the dismay of my grandmother before replying "Of course not. She is just that fearsome. Even I was surprised the first time I saw her fighting another living being, but in the jungle, it is something you have to get used to. Death is a part of life, killing is a way to survive. If you must learn to kill to survive, then you must kill your own race to know the true value of life. Don't worry, my main job as a teacher is to teach my students right from wrong, and therefore I will be teaching her restrain, as power without control is the thing that brings out the true incarnates of evil."
My mouth was agape listening to the words of Juilam. They sounded so wise and so full of experience and wisdom. I had heard him speak like this before, but not to this extent. He is usually really chill around his tribe and me, but apparently he become like this around normal humans.
Hearing the words of Juilam, my grandmother's eyes lightened up a little. Clearly she did not expect such words to come out of a beasts mouth. From what I could tell so far, the beasts she had encountered so far have been unintelligent, stupid, and instinctual. Something you would imagine when thinking of monsters rather than beasts. Seeing a beast use it's brain must have been a real big shock for her, and even though I did not understand it, I knew that there were certain things that older people usually find hard to accept.
In this world, the current trend I had seen so far is that the older one gets, the more brain dead they become. Not to say that the same thing is happening to my grandma, it is just that even back on earth, older people simply found it harder to get away from the traditions, and the same thing can be seen in this world, just to a degree that it affects the development of society itself.
