Looking at these stats, Ushar could not help look around the other wolves and he began to reassess his motives, after all, fighting this werewolf could only be likened to fighting a supreme beast.
“Whether we are friends or enemies still remains a question, but I am quite curious, why are you here?” Ushar asked looking at the man with a slight frown on his face. This man standing in front of him was no doubt a werewolf, his yellow eyes also meant he was a Beta werewolf, the Alphas possessed dark-red eyes.
“Why am I here, you speak like someone who has been put in charge of the Underworld, going around telling people where to go and where to not go.” The yellow-eyed man replied before walking closer to Ushar.
He was tall, towering over Ushar and his muscular build was so terrifying that his arms were the size of Ushar's thighs. Ushar was not in the slightest fazed but still, he would prevent a fight with this werewolf if possible, after all, he was really not in the place to tell people where to go and not go in the Underworld.
“And, you don’t even smell like anything, who or should I ask, what are you?” the Gamma asked.
“This again” Ushar muttered, closing his eyes, as he rubbed on his forehead for a moment before raising his head and looking back at the Gamma.
“You know what, we can just forget about this already, I will just go on and we can all pretend this never happened.” Ushar spoke, turning to move away but the Gamma hand had grabbed his shoulder firmly.
“But you started this friend, why should you leave so quickly.” He spoke in Ushar’s ears.
“I am just curious, I don’t want a fight.” Ushar said, trying to move on but the Gamma’s grip on him had turned firmer. The pure brute strength of the werewolves was never something to scoff at and Ushar sighed.
“What do you want?” He eventually asked.
“Well, you should have heard this words, curiosity kills the cat. Your curiosity unfortunately, has brought this impending death on you.” The Gamma spoke before morphing in an instant and holding Ushar was no more a human but a giant Lycan.
[New Quest]
[Defeat the werewolves]
Ushar felt the Lycan’s claw digging deep into his flesh but he forcefully pulled himself away separating from the Lycan with a large wound on one of his shoulders.
[Bone amour activated]
[Strength: 67 (+10)]
The Lycan shot forward, its claw swiping towards Ushar head but he had ducked down quickly. A large bone spike had simultaneously jutted off his shoulder before he shot forwards, barging shoulder first into the Lycan’s stomach.
The Lycan gave a savage growl as the bone spike pierced right through its body, form the side however, the other werewolves had transformed as well.
However they did not become Lycans like the Gamma, instead they had become giant wolves and immediately lunged for Ushar from all sides. Ushar had looked at their stats and knew they would be increased by twofold in their wolf form, this bunches would also prove to be annoying.
Their fangs clamped on his legs, pulling him away from the Lycan, who immediately acted.
The Lycan fist was bunched as he smashed then down into Ushar back and he was violently slammed face first into the ground which caved in from the tremendous force while Ushar felt the bony amour on his back entirely shattered.
He could however see the Lycan’s leg being raised and Ushar was quite sure a couple of stomps would be all he would need to really die.
He rolled to the side in a moment and where he had been, the Lycan’s foot slammed down caving the ground even more but Ushar had survived.
He however hadn’t escaped, from the side, one of the wolves lunged towards him but instead of despair, a dark smile emerged on Ushar face as raised on arm into which the wolf’s jaw clamped.
[Bone control activated]
Through the jaws, two bone spikes had jutted through and the Wolf uttered a muffled groan in pain.
[Bone consume activated]
[Defense +2]
Ushar acted instantaneously, the wolf’s body turned boneless while the bone on Ushar body turned even more robust. Into the jelly like body of the wolf, he shoved the red orb just before seeing the Lycan blast in from the side.
Ushar could not retrieve the orb as he felt raised his arms in a guarding position just as the Lycan claw slammed into it and he was directly picked off the ground, smashing through a tree before crashing into a rock behind it and falling weakly to the ground.
[A werewolf blood has been consumed by the orb of guardian]
Ushar could feel a strange surge of power travelled through his body and his senses turned even sharper as he felt the Lycan claw stabbing down into him.
Rolling once, the claw stabbed into the ground just beside him, before he sprung to his feet glaring at the Lycan, whose yellow eyes glowed under the night and Ushar felt a strange forebode came over him.
Right now, the only saving grace Ushar was the fact that while being faster and stronger than him, these Lycan movements were too glaring and he could easily predict them.
Looking up in the sky, he could see a full moon emerging through the clouds and his face scrunched. The only limitation for a werewolf would be the enormous energy consumption of their wolf form but under a full moon, their energy would become limitless.
Now, no matter how much he tried to hurt of kill the Lycan, it would only heal back unless he managed to hack off its head, or absorb its bone completely. This would however, require time since stronger enemies seems to have greater resistance to his bone power.
The Lycan raised its maw giving a powerful howl into the sky, but Ushar did not wait for it. He decisively lunged towards an unsuspecting wolf by the side, stabbing his spikes bony arm into its head and its body turned into jelly in one swift motion.
[Bone consume activated]
[Defense +2]
Then he threw the body towards the orb in the distance just as the Lycan attacked.
Ushar raised a hand, blocking the Lycan’s attack before sending a punch into the Lycan’s chest but its maw had clamped into his jaw.
Ushar grinned on seeing this, two spikes jutted through the Lycan’s mouth but this time, it had slammed its powerful fist into his arm, crushing right through it and Ushar staggered back without one of his hand.
Blinding pain shot through his arm but the other wolves had acted targeting his new weakness.
[A werewolf blood has been consumed by the orb of guardian]
[All stat had been improved by ten percent]
[Boost will last for ten seconds]
Ushar however, felt another surge of energy through him. His spiked foot kicked up in a moment, catching on the wolves from below and a b****y spike jutted out of his neck just as the other wolves jaws clamped on his body.
Their teeth however failed to c***k through his amour as their fellow body turned into jelly as well.
[Bone control activated]
[Will of stone activated]
Ushar arm had swiftly re-grow with the help of the orbs energy and the bone on his body even more robust as a giant sword materialized in his hand. During the battle, Ushar had realized on thing, he could not win this battle with pure brute power but foresight and skill. The will of stone granted him exactly that. Now, he knew what exactly the Lycan would do by the slightest movement of its body.
His sword swung forwards intercepting the Lycan who had blasted in and looking at the Lycan’s jaw, it had been swiftly healed back.
“Bastard Lycans” Ushar grunted pushing against the Lycan as he staggered back as well.
The single remaining wolf stood by the side, realizing it would only get killed if it interfered in the raging battle while also empowering the strange Bone creature.
“Took you long enough” Ushar muttered, before his sword swung forwards knocking the Lycan’s arm to the side before sending a kick into its knees and it staggered back.
Ushar advanced stabbing his sword into the creature’s heart but it managed to raise its hands, grabbing the sword just before it reached its heart before pushing back.
Ushar staggered back from the push before the sword in his hand disappeared into his body and he stared at the Lycan, slightly breathless.
The Lycan looked at him for a moment before blasting off into the distance and Ushar sighed.
“You were lucky it is full moon but I am also lucky it is not an Alpha.” He muttered before hearing the system message.
