Blood Creed

Chapter 50

Looking ahead I saw several wolf-like creatures approaching us with steady and careful steps. Behind me, Lady Lissandra was preparing to engage the b.u.t.terfly.

These wolves looked strange. Pitch black fur, and huge in size, with drooling maws that asked for flesh. Amongst them, a single wolf stood tall a few heads above the rest of the wolves, he was twice their size with almost three meters long, while it had a horn on its head.

"It seems that a silver fang wolf has appeared…"

"You must retain carefulness while fighting against it. It will try to kill you using superior numbers. Be very careful Basara."

This is the first time I saw a wolf though. And somehow a deep primal fear permeated my bones and body, it was the fear of death, the fear of the unknown, truly. Looking at this beast made the hairs on my back stand to no end.

"Steady your heart Basara, you have met with greater danger than this, met with me! And suffered countless deaths at my hand, why fear what can be killed while not fearing what cannot be killed?"

I smiled, right. Nocturne was right.

"Indeed, I should steel my heart, however, I can"t help but be afraid." I replied as I moved forward calling upon my Scythe.

"You can only use this for a brief amount of time Basara. Once you quell a life it will grow heavier and rampage more. Be wary and be careful, lest that you lose control and die to it sucking all of your energy away." said Nocturne

Hmm. So this all-powerful weapon has a weakness like this.

"How long do you think I can use this?" I asked.

"At most, five minutes. Any longer and you will suffer from splitting headache and you will lose your body"s balance forcing your limiter to destroy you."


"I guess five minutes is about alright" I said as I studied the charging wolves.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.

The firsts to come forward were three black wolves that encircled me. While two others went toward Lady Lissandra.

Without batting an eye, I jumped forward ignoring the three wolves and came down cras.h.i.+ng with my scythe towards one of the two wolves that got too close to Lady Lissandra who just commenced her attack on the b.u.t.terfly.

The moment the scythe cute through the skin of the wolf, the creature turned limp. Falling down dead and unmoving.

However, the scythe grew heavier as a result. It was still bearable, yet if this continues it will be very hard using this.

I slashed at the second Wolf, the scyth blade grazed its skin and it fell dead. This forced the other wolves to become much wearier from the weapon as they slowed down their approach and became much more careful.

"Careful Basara!" said Lady Lissandra.

Turning around I saw the huge b.u.t.terfly"s wings glowing white with hundreds of light bolts shooting towards me.

I could only run away trying to evade, as the glowing bolts from the b.u.t.terfly struck and shattered the ground. With each bolt caving and piercing at the same time a huge portion of the earth.

Receiving only one of them is equivalent to death.

The wolves grew much wearier as they began to retreat slowly yet not giving up on the hunt. They made their encirclement wider. studying carefully thinking up the perfect strategy to kill me.

The Silver Fang"s eyes were glued to me. He was waiting for a chance, waiting for the attack from the b.u.t.terfly to subside.  And just like I thought, the moment the light bolts stopped the Silver Fang howled and the rest of the wolves all charged at once toward me.

I could kill one, or even two, yet once I am caught I will be ripped to pieces.

"Fire that burns all, Firestorm!"

"Lightning that destroyed all, Chained lighting!"

I dual cast my two strongest spells. Normally for anyone else, these spells wouldn"t even be considered strong spells, they are used via a chant, making them weaker than their original. And also used by someone of low magic capacity. However, they were the strongest spells I could call upon right now.

A ring of fire burst out from beneath me and shot toward the wolves, right after that. A lightning streak shot forward, the moment it landed on one wolf, it spread to the others channelling the lightning that began to resonate as it burnt every single one of the wolves touched by it to a crisp.

Once the majority of the black wolves died, the silver fang decided to retreat. No longer wanting to fight. This wolf is smart, knowing that it has not the chance to win it decided to retreat sacrificing his own kin to give him a chance at escape.

A wail sounded from behind me as the b.u.t.terfly cried out loud. These were the sounds of pain unwillingness and rage.

Once I looked at the scene I saw that Lady Lissandra was already atop the b.u.t.terfly hacking away at the root of one of its wings.

Successfully cutting the wing, the b.u.t.terfly struggled to remain afloat and fell down. However, looking at the situation it seems that the beast was trying to bring down Lady Lissandra with it. As she looked to be struggling to get her stuck feet free from the tangling roots.

Wanting to help but unable to I only looked at the scene helplessly.

Then the crash came. I hurried towards the location of the two to find the b.u.t.terfly unable to move, with green blood spilling from its side.

It was a huge creature, almost ten meters long without accounting for the gigantic wings on its back. Lady Lisssandra was somewhere stuck under this. Fearing the worst I struggled to try to free her from under the beast.

Once I reached out to her, she had blood seeping from her forehead and various cuts all around her.

Using monochrome vision I saw that her left hand and right leg were fractured. Her head also had a small fraction on the forehead side, the shock must have rendered her unconscious, I believe that if she didn"t strengthen her body at the last moment she would have become a splat on the ground. She doesn"t have a lot of time…

I picked up her sword and hacked the roots that were entangled to her away, in doing so the b.u.t.terfly gave more howls of pain. Forcing me to end its misery with a stab to the head.

Its head was disgusting to look at, like a creature of horror with but teeth and five lifeless eyes looking forward. Now dead only a look of horror was printed on it.

The situation is dire… without help, Lady Lissandra will die.

I placed my hands in my pockets and picked up a golden coin. This was the coin to be used to call for a.s.sistance. If in trouble.

Once I pressed on it. It instantly turned to dust without giving a signal.

"Huh? This shouldn"t be right?"

"That coin is fake…" said Nocturne "Once you broke it, instead of the Qi surging towards the school it died down. There is something or someone not wanting you to send a signal for help… there is no other choice you must hurry and cut off the other wing before it begins deteriorating." Said Nocturne.

"This woman will die

if not taken care of, I don"t think that wing is worth the life of Lady Lissandra."

"Indeed it is not, however you can use that wing to cure her, don"t waste the chance." Said Nocturne.

I walked towards the wing and sliced it. It wasn"t that tough right now, due to Qi no longer circulating, once the two wings were cut apart they looked like enormous flags that spanned a few dozen meters.

"How are we going to use this?" I said to Nocturne.

"You must first refine them Let me give you a crash course on being a Receptarier.
