The Alpha's Keeper

LXXIV: Epic Lancelot

At that moment, the hunter advanced, and with a smile, said, “It’s time to go, the last layer of the barrier will fall soon, and if we don’t hurry, the witches will come to take revenge. That’s terrifying.”

As soon as he said that, he walked and was about to leave, when he from Joshua’s back a huge wolf appeared, it was a gray wolf, and just by entering the barrier, Joshua was able to leave.

The living creature was still inside and behind the hunter. Erika kept the wolf moving. Joshua turned into a huge werewolf, swooped down on the hunter, who, in a matter of seconds, was gone.

Joshua didn’t understand what was happening, but the hunter on the other side of the clearing said, “That’s something I’ve never seen… werewolves are so interesting… but like I told you, my time is running out. I have to go. I love you very much, and without a doubt, we will see each other again!”

He calmly closed the area where Joshua used to be, and now, tearing apart the dog controlled by Erika and walking calmly, he disappeared as if he were getting behind a curtain of air.

Joshua coming back to normal, looked at Erika, who was as terrified as he was. Looking up at the sky, they saw how a single layer of the barrier remained, and they hurriedly headed for the city. The hunters’ plan was terrible, and they had to find Edith and the others.

Stella watched the situation from the top of the tower, and the barrier had lost two layers. It was clear that a spell of that magnitude could not be maintained for that long, but it had been active long enough to put her in a bad situation. Even her sister was on the verge of perishing from this strategy. If not for that i***t Dominic, they would be really dead now.

She was looking out the window when a boy entered the front door. He was slim with very long black hair down to his waist and slim arms. He had light eyes, and his slender figure moved gracefully.

Stella turned and, seeing him said, “How did you get here?”

He looked in all directions and said,, “It was not easy. Your guard dog is terrifying.”

Outside the door, a three-headed dog lay dead, Dominic was not her only line of defense, and she saw the man in front of her, said, “Do you think that getting here guarantees you victory? My servants are just obstacles, and I’m the final boss, stupid!”

The man saw her calmly and showed her rapier, he said, “That’s why I have this, and it’s the sword that kills the stupid final boss!”

Stella took a deep breath. She had no intention of dealing with anyone, and less with a stupid man like the one in front of her.

He raised his sword and asked with a grin, “Are you ready for our final battle?”

Stella looked at him, and without wasting too much time, she said, “Ignis!”

A flare came out of her hand with force direct towards the invader, who, moving gracefully, evaded it as it backed away, landing it from the wall.

He said, “Why do you treat me like I’m a nobody? That hurts my feelings?”

Stella looking at him coldly, said, “That’s what you are! Pali!”

From the wall behind him, a lot of stakes emerged to fly towards him. He deflected them without a problem and backed up each time they intensified.

When he fell in the line of fire, another flare engulfed him, lighting him until the man was charred, and Stella said, “Dammit! How did this useless beat my dog?“

The hunter, laughing with everything he had, got up as he said, “That was not nice at all… not at all, not at all! Why don’t you have an epic battle with me…? that’s what I came for. I even changed my name. Now I am Lancelot, and it is a more epic name.”

Stella looked at him, surprised. How could he be alive? It didn’t make the slightest sense. His eyes didn’t seem to have the effects of some spell or anything like that when he smiled and said, “No! It’s not a spell… I’m a Nova warrior… don’t be stupid…!”

Stella didn’t know what he was referring to when she asked, “What the f**k are you talking about?”

The smiling hunter said, “Sure ... the introductions are missing, that’s why you don’t know what happens... ok, ok, I’ll go first.”

Saying that, the boy jumped away towards the door, and shaking his head, he began to speak with a deeper voice.

“I am Lancelot, the Nova warrior, and I am here to kill you, witch...”

Stella, surprised by the stupidity of that person, raised her hand and, making her eyes shine, she said, “Gladios Democli!!”

A sword appeared just above the man and, hurtling down his entire torso, impaled him on the ground.

Stella looked at him, confused. She couldn’t decide if he was a strong man but stupid or weak and stupid. In any case, he was dead, and there was no reason to keep worrying about him.

She calmly looked out the window, trying to make contact with Dominic, when in the reflection of the glass, she saw the boy remove her sword and rush towards her with the rapier.

She moved just in time when the rapier touched her arm and caused a small wound. The boy continued attacking her, and she, evading left and right attacks were walked away, surprised by what was happening.

Seeing her, he seemed annoyed when he said, “You! You don’t want to take this seriously…!”

Stella did not understand anything of what was happening.

She looked at the boy madly and said, “What the f**k are you...? I burned you and pierced your torso. How you’re still alive!?”
