章 57: werewolves or demons?
Stepping into the woods, I was finally able to see into the forest, with the bright light of the fire to my back, it gave me enough light to see deep into the thick woods.
Hearing the sound of rustling undergrowth, I turned to see what was making the noise, and hoping it wasn't what I thought it was.
Moving in a blurry streak, a brown colored creature came straight for me.
Not thinking of my actions, I activated my aura ability, and sliced down on the creature as soon as it was close enough for the attack.
My new longsword, which was nearly a foot longer than my own Gladius sword, gave me the advantage of distancing myself from any attacker, as well as giving me a greater attack range without the need to move, and if this creature is what I think it is, the last thing I needed was to be bitten, or possibly scratched.
Yes my system purged most of the vampiric venom from my body, but it still left a trait behind, who knows what would happen if a werewolf was to do the same to me, and what trait could be left in me?
But with my speed and strength, I should be able to hold off any number that was here.
My sword sliced the beast in half, straight down the middle, splitting the beast in two. As the two halves of the beast separated, the momentum of its movement brought the two halves past me, where they hit the ground to my sides.
Looking down at one of the halves to my right, I looked down at the creature I had just killed, and when I saw what it was, my stomach dropped.
The 'beast' was a mix between human, and wolf, with a bearal chest, and fur covering around 80% of it.
'Werewolf,' I thought.
The arms and legs looked to be stretched out and bent in inhumane ways, while its hands were elongated and starched out to clawed tipped fingers.
Using my foot, I rolled the corps over to get a look at one half of the face.
As I did so, guts, and bones, sludged out of it, to steam on the ground.
Ignoring the disgusting insides, I looked the creature over.
The face weirded me out to no end.
It had a human-like eye that was wide open, and looked to be a mix of light blue and a dark yellowish green, with an elongated mouth that lengthened and turned into that of a wolf, which seemed strange mixed with a human-like cheekbones structure. The face had patches of brown fur and pointed ears that had no hair, and looked like they belonged to a goblin.
'Fuck' was all my brain managed to get out As I saw for the first time, something I didn't know existed.
"The movies never said anything about this, just shapeshifters in the Americas, not werewolves." I mumbled to myself as my eyebrows narrowed with concern.
I did remember a few times in the movies, the volturi mentioning werewolves, instead of shapeshifters, which the pack in the movie are, for so long I had yet to see any, until now, so I had assumed that only the quileute tribe existed, and where the only kind of supernatural beasts besides the vampires.
The difference between werewolves and shapeshifters is that shape-shifters are born, while werewolves are created, sort of like vampires are created, both vampires and werewolves are created by a venom or virus that gets into their bloodstream, and changing them at a genetic level.
What can make them so dangerous is that werewolves turn into mindless animals that will kill anything breathing they can find during full moons, and can't turn at will.
While shapeshifters are fully in control of themselves, while in their beast forms.
Turning my head, I could hear what sounded to me like a Herd of animals heading straight for me.
Bracing myself for what was more than likely the rest of the pack, I couldn't help, but let out a mental sigh, as the problems all of this would bring, ran through my head.
'Now I have to deal with this. I was really looking forward to joining a crusade. Oh well, isn't there going to be more, or perhaps I can eradicate all of the werewolves before it even starts?" I thought, as the first werewolf, came into my sight.
'The last thing this world needs, is for this to spread uncontrollably around the world.'
[John/Henry POV]
Both John and Henry, sat glued to their seated spots, as they watched the brilliant light show that was taking place in front of them.
Bright purple light streamed through the thick forest, as the sounds of what they could only describe as a pack of wolves fighting and yelping. The noise echoed through the forest and into their camp, leaving both of them scared to their bones.
"What in heaven is that!" John said, in fear and astonishment.
" It must be the work of the devil!" Henry stammered out, as his chest heaved in panic.
"Noo, it must be some sort of light, Sir Adam is using to see." John said, as he watched the light.
Henry looked over at him.
"He must be one of those witches, or a soldier of the devil." Henry said, with the fever of a true believer.
"We have been traveling with Sir Adam for a few weeks now, and I'm no slow minded farmer, I have been to church every holy day, and I haven't seen any signs of him being either a witch or an agent of evil, because I for one, haven't seen him eat a single baby, or devour a soul" John shot back at Henry.
Henry let out a gasp.
"He must have set a spell on you." He said, scooting away from John.
But Henry only managed to scoot a little over a foot from John, when something came crashing through the forest and into the middle of their camp.
The sound brought them both to a halt, as the corps of a strange beast crashed down right where Henry had been seated.
Both John and Henry sat in shock, as they got a good look at what had just landed between them.
"M-M-M-MONSTER!!!" John said in a panic, as he used his hands to crawl back and away from the beast.
While Henry himself did the same, while shouting.
"IT'S THE SPAWN OF THE DEVIL, IT'S THE SPAWN OF THE DEVIL!!!"
John had backed up to the log Adam had been using before the monster attack, while Henry, backed into the cart's wheel.
"I told you this was a bad idea!" Henry shouted, pointing an accusing finger at John.
"Me, you can't do that, you agreed to come, even after I warned you, that there would be danger on a crusade!" John shot back.
"True, but I was expecting a human enemy, not this!" He shouted, gesturing at the corps.
All the while they argued, the battle continued in the surrounding Forest.
And the cart horse stood not far away, munching on some dry grass calmly, and without a care in the world.
[Adam POV]
My sword took off limbs, and sliced through the small horde of werewolves that continued to attack me.
Even after five minutes of continued slicing and chopping, the werewolves seemed to be unfazed at the destruction I was causing them, and the pile of their body's I was leaving around me, continued to grow.
Like crazed beasts, they continued to attack me, but like the rest of their friends, they only got within the range of my sword, before they were killed, with a blow of my blade.
What surprised me was the strength and speed these werewolves possessed.
If I had to say, they could be on part with the average vampire that is out of their newborn faze.
They had the speed to be a blurry motion while running, and from the speed, and sound their clawed hands made, when I dodged them, I could tell there was some serious strength behind their hits.
Blocking a particularly farel swing, I chopped off the limb, and then the head of the beast.
Just like the battle with the vampires I lost myself in the fight.
I didn't want to use my Shockwave at the moment, because there wasn't much of a need.
At the moment, I was cutting them down with almost complete ease, and didn't find the use of it necessary, and just a waste.
In a blur I continued to slice and chop the werewolves into pieces, like a blender.
After a few more minutes, the once steady stream of wolves slowed down a bit, until no more were adding to the fight, and I was able to Finish off the last remaining werewolves.
Breathing a little harder than normal from my exertions, I looked around, and was a bit amazed.
In sliced pieces and decapitated corpses, the body's of no less than 300 werewolves, scattered the woods.
A few of the trees had large chunks of bark and wood missing, from when I threw a wolf or two, into them, and the ground was soggy from the large amounts of blood that I had just spilt.
Just then the clouds began to clear a bit, and let a stream of the moon's light to stream down, and light the forest with its glow.
"What the fuck." I let out with a sigh.
'I need to figure out where this is coming from.'I thought as I looked down at the wolf I had stepped on.

[Authors notes]
So the MC will still become a crusader, but first he will need to track down where the werewolves are coming from, and who, or what, is Turning people.
Unfortunately he won't become a mongol though.
Something is going to pop up, that will keep him away from doing that, and keep him from destroying the mongols, for some of the things they had done.
By the time he becomes a crusader, it will be when they are leaving on ships to sack Constantinople.
I have a good idea for the sacking of Constantinople, where the MC will do something to spread his legend, and maybe a little extra.
Werewolves will be eradicated, partly by the MC and the other part by the volturi.
I will do a chapter in the volturi's POV about their run-ins with werewolves, which will start their hate for them, and by connection, the shapeshifters, that will be in forks.
Interestingly, the moon-touched werewolves are as fast, and slightly stronger than a regular vampire, but not on the same level as a newborn, even so, they are still a real threat to the vampire and human worlds.
They are also smaller than a shapeshifter's wolf form, who are on average twice the size of werewolves, but can still hold their own, against either shapeshifters or vampires.
This should show how much stronger the MC is compared to the rest of the vampiric and supernatural world.
But don't worry, I know he is super OP, but I already have an end game enemy, who will be on Parr with the MC, and something or more like someone, I think will surprise all of you.

Please let me know if there are any issues with the chapter.
I am trying to do some different POVs mixed into the story or as chapters.
Let me know what you think about that.
