Beatitudes

Berserker.

Harry  seeing the charging beast grew wary as he realized the beasts out here in the tainted zone were on a whole different level to those in the Jade forest.

Adam  and the rest watching Harry  also grew silent as they watched man and wolf lunge at each other with their own roar aiming to surpass the other.

Adam looked on as he sighed before he spoke, this is going to take a while…”

Man and wolf lunged at each other as they collided meeting a paw with an axe.

Apparently the paw of the wolf was also not something Harry  could currently cleave apart as the same metallic texture was felt when the wolf slammed its paws against the axe.

The axe was slammed back down as the wolf’s paw also involuntarily shifted backwards.

Since this was not the first time such happened, Harry  was somewhat prepared as a growl escaped from his lips and he shifted slightly while taking a swing at the wolf from another direction. The wolf saw his actions and a glint crossed through its eyes as it shifted abruptly away like a ghost before speeding towards Harry . it seemed to have realized that using brute force with the odd human in front of it wasn’t going to work as its whole figure became somewhat of a blur and it appeared behind Harry  in a second with its gleaming rows of teeth arching towards Harry  for a big bite.

Harry  witnessed the wolf blurring slightly and immediately felt a prickling sensation at his back, his body then moved somewhat instinctively as he turn to face his back bringing the axe whirling through the air with him in a semi circle.

Another collision occurred again and Harry  successfully managed to parry the attack, but he failed to notice the wolf’s right paw swinging towards him as well quickly, the head of the wolf being smashed allowed for some leeway for Harry  as the paw deviated slightly and only ended up smashing into his shoulders hard. Any more inwards than that and perhaps a deep gash on the arm and part of his chest would be the newest addition to his body.

But he nevertheless received the full brunt of the wolf’s paw smashing onto him and was forced to slide a few meters back, putting leg after leg backwards to stop his backwards momentum. A dull pain coursed through his whole body as he gritted his teeth and held back the grunt.

And like that it was like a switch was flipped within him as the anger that filled him due to the attack transformed into a wave of energy coursing through his body, his body and muscled visibly expanded again in size as his gaze took on a new murderous sheen glinting with the excitement of a battle. The faint layer of red light around him flickered continuously for a while and another growl escaped his lips as he immediately shot back to the wolf swinging his arms with renewed zeal.

“What an animal like display…”

Hiya muttered as she watched Harry  release growl after growl with some roars in between intermittently, whether the other two beside her heard the comment, they made no mention of it.

The battle raged on for long as both man and wolf kept on smashing into each other continuously, swinging paws and an axe at the other. Every time the wolf was about to take a healthy bite out of Harry , the latter would always by the skin of his nose dodge away. He got slammed badly two more times though, and every time his anger erupted, it would condense into a queer type of energy raising his attributes slightly both times.

After the two times, the attributes of the ferocious wolf and bestial man had become sort of evened out as the wolf could no longer sneak up behind Harry  to sink its teeth deep in and draw blood.

With this the battle continued on for a ten minutes, no side gaining the upper hand.

The wolf finally also grew impatient as it actually moved away from Harry  only to strike it’s claws against the ground as it burrowed into the earth in front of the stunned gaze of its opponent.

Harry  stared on confused as he said under his breath, “It ran? Did… I just win or something…”

Adam  who heard Harry ’s mumbling revealed a tiny smirk though he said nothing and waited for the battle to finally end.

Harry  had already paused on the spot as his axe rested against the floor from his hands, confusion filled him and he didn’t know what to do. Adam  shook his head slightly at that as he said nothing.

After staring blankly for a short while, a slight rumble came from underground, Harry  felt it and a light of realization dawned in his eyes as he immediately leaped away from where he was standing.

Soon after the wolf burst out from the ground realizing its attack had failed again, but seeing the human still poised and ready to continue fighting it immediately felt furious as it leaped towards Harry  reaching a height way over Harry .

The wolf drew closer to Harry  from the air, claws and fangs poised and ready to destroy. Harry  seeing this sneered slightly as he spoke to the wolf,

“I gotta say, these last two moves of yours were pretty stupid you know. Don’t worry, I’ll properly make sure it was your last.

Next as the wolf had almost reached Harry  and was about to relish in the feeling of eating its prey, Harry  ducked down as he slid to the right, before taking a mighty swing at the underbelly of the wolf.

ROARRR!!

Harry ’s attack finally hit home as the axe plunged deeply into the wolf’s underside seemingly hooked onto something as it refused to come out. A sickening crunching sound could be heard briefly before the wolf let out a wail like roar, the pain it felt was thick in its roar as it lost all strength and landed on the ground with a thud, raising a layer of dust along with it

Trying with all its strength, it failed to stand anymore as a pool of blood gushed out from beneath it, painting its yellow fur a bloody red.

A forceful tug from Harry  forced the axe lodged inside the wolf out from the top, spraying more blood as organs with a dark tint to them spilled out.
