Arska: Love and Magic

178. Triumph

" uhuk..". Arsya sprinkled a little blood from her mouth and rubbed the blood roughly.

" good is your strength too. Now it's my turn!"

Arsya moves her sword and sticks it on the ground.

the wolf king who seemed to scorn the humans in front of him, being astonished when there were tendrils that entangled to his four legs made him unable to move even he felt his energy being absorbed by the tendrils.

Arsya grinned at that and made the wolf king who saw her smile tremble in fear.

Arsya walked over and would touch the head of the wolf king but the wolf king angrily rebelled.

" it's useless, the more you rebel the harder my tendrils entrap you."

" oh what is this?" arsya muttered in surprise after touching the head of the wolf king.

" luring magic." murmured softly.

just as the wolves were so aggressively attacking them, even the king of wolves also seemed to lose his sanity to sacrifice so many of his people, it turns out that there is a magic lure that has mastered the mind of the king of wolves.

" be calm I will release this enchanting magic!" arsya exclaimed to ask the wolf king to calm down and no longer rebel, fortunately after feeling the swipe Arsya the wolf became silent and tame.

Arsya could easily break the magic, then let the tendrils wrapped around the wolf king's feet disappear and even heal all the wounds of the wolf king.

" Thank you, miss!" the wolf king cried in Arsya's mind.

" hmm, no problem. But I also have to apologize, many of your people have me and my friends killed, because they attacked us first."

" i understand, this is all because of the enchanting magic that controls my mind, until I let many of my people die" he replied which of course sounded in Arsya's head

" you better ask your other subordinates to immediately back down in appeal to the more wolves killed." arsya exclaimed indifferently but she also immediately disappeared the dome that enveloped them.

" well, I'll do it."

****

Everyone was relieved when no more wolves attacked, they had defeated many wolf monsters then the last herd that came instead just left, despite feeling confused but they also felt grateful. Or if this fight continues there they will be cornered and lost.

Amidst the relief they felt, they were surprised to see Arsya coming, not her appearance that made them surprised but something that was behind the girl.

" A-arsya get here!" Valencia exclaimed with a pale face, and he was very frightened to see the scene in front of him.

There Arsya walks casually but what makes all there shock is the appearance of a wolf monster whose body is bigger than the wolf they have defeated even bigger than an adult elephant.

It's macabre.

What if the monster devours Arsya's body. 

Arsya who saw their frightened face only frowned confusedly.

Some of them even seemed to have prepared a spell to attack, that's when Arsya just realized what happened.

" Uh... Wait, don't attack!" Arsya stretched out both hands.

" I'll explain what happened but stop your attack."

They obey Arsya's words, but secretly still be vigilant. Even when Arsya was near them Valencia immediately withdrew his hand and took him shelter behind his body.

" Once, stop that sharp look of yours. He's the king of wolf monsters, he's here to apologize to us!" Arsya said briefly.

" The king of the wolf monsters?"

" I'm sorry?"

Had their hearing been troubled, they had killed many wolf monsters, and now his king had come instead to apologize, if he had come to take revenge it might have been believed, they had, but apologize if there's anything wrong with Arsya's head..

" You're sure he came here to apologize, like he came to swallow us alive." Ezio exclaimed with a body trembling in fear.

" Right, we've killed a lot of herd, how could she come here to apologize. If taking revenge on us it might be true" said Darren, who mounted the horses to attack, fearing that the monster in front of him would attack them.

Hearing those human-human conversations the wolf monster king's eyeballs just twisted lazily.

How wild is this human thought!

" I was struck by someone's enchanting magic, so attack you blindly, please forgive us."

But what their ears heard was only the sound of 'au auu' without anything coming out of the wolf's mouth made them confused what the wolf monster king would do.

" So you're right to apologize to us!" Keysa exclaimed, as someone who has the privilege of being able to talk to animals of course he understands the words of the wolf.

Arsya just smiled faintly looking at it, she knew Keysa would be able to translate it without the need for him to do it himself, after all he could not bring out all his abilities in the presence of others, or they'll question what he's really capable of, and it won't be good.

" Key, you can understand what the wolf is talking about!" Ezio cried carefully.

" Yes."

" You're not lying." Keysa threw his face away indifferently upon hearing that and did not answer her at all.

" One of Keysa's abilities is Animal heart, so he can certainly understand animal language." Valencia said that made the two men nod in understanding.

" Key, what did the wolf say?" Ask Valencia 

Keysa explained everything the wolf monster king said "he said there was some enchanting magic that made them attack us because that's why he apologized to us."

" Woow a monster can also apologize turns out." Ezio exclaimed with excitement.

" Foolish man, fortunately there are some who are quite smart." 

Once again the wolf made a sound and they waited for Keysa to translate it, just that Keysa's reaction seemed strange.

" What's up?" Ask Kyra

" I guess what he said wasn't important, it was just a joke." Keysa said with an awkward expression.

They do not understand and want to keep asking Keysa to translate it, just that Arsya's voice makes Keysa feel relieved.

" stop our long journey."

" The king of the wolves return to your place, and don't let your members out for now." Said Arsya who was nodded by the wolf, he immediately went and ran so fast as the wind.

" You collect the essence of the wolf monsters you kill, and if you want to be able to skin them to make their coats or meat to eat. Also if one of you finds the puzzle pieces collect first, later after the hunt is over just decide who is entitled to have it." Arsya said making them nod in understanding.
