The knight's destiny
Episode 23
House debris strewn about as a result of previous werewolf attacks. Not far away, a group of adventurers came under the leadership of Lusy.
The thick white partlet was rather tightened into Lusy's large, puffed-up breastplate. The lower part pulls on the right side and the left side of the front partlet, giving a gap in the middle of the chest when the neck is only tied a little.
A pair of black gauntlets were attached to his smooth white skin. Gauntlet with the shape of a large iron glove covers the entire arm of Lusy up to the elbow. On the back of the gauntlet there are several slightly convex iron plates adjusting the size of the gauntlet itself. Gold-colored and arranged overlapping at each end, revealing a pangolin back pattern on it.
The white shorts were rather tight which only covered half of Lusy's thigh. Greave and the golden sabaton became the base as well as the cover of Lusy's own lower body.
Lusy approached one of the soldiers and asked for some priests that could be used to seal the werewolf. The soldier swiftly went to the place of worship and looked for the priests.
“Mage squad two, give us a description,” said Lusy while directing his arm to each available squad.
“Assassin squad one, keep an eye on the parimeter around the werewolf. Limit movement with a radius of 100 meters–Assassin squads two, look for injured civilians and secure those who are within striking distance–Warrior squad one, remain vigilant. We will drain the werewolf's power until he can't move–Warrior squad two, help the soldiers handle the werewolf's– Archer, treat those who are injured and exhausted–Mage squad one, split it into two. Healing and attacking team.”
“Good!” answer all the adventurers.
All the adventurers took their respective positions according to Lusy's direction. An enormous white energy ball that was extremely bright appeared above the sky. Below him several mages raised their respective magic staffs upwards with a white magic circle at the end. These mages made the artificial sunlight white and maintained its rays in order to still be able to illuminate the course of battle.
“Light ready!” said the mage squads two simultaneously.
Several assasins quickly went to the roof of the house watching the werewolf with ninjato and several small knives in hand. They watched closely from a distance away while sometimes twirling each other's weapons.
Several other assassins rushed into the residents' homes and secured them. Some were trapped in the rubble of the house and some were too afraid to leave.
“No need to worry, let's stand. I'll help you out,” said one assassin to two women who cornered in fear in a corner of the room.
Some warriors just lunged forward to help the soldiers who were on duty as security officers. Alternately attack and avoid raging werewolves.
The archers took the wounded to safety behind Lusy. After the assailants took the civilians out of the battle zone, the archers carried the civilians to safety.
Several other mages healed and treated civilians with the help of the archers. Several other mages went to participate in the battle and provided attack assistance.
“What happened?” ask Lithia who just came.
This red-haired mage took Ruhif with her. Surprised by what he saw, the Ruhif suddenly went berserk. The Lithia who had just arrived certainly did not know anything, but that was not what the Ruhif wanted to know.
“Sister Lithia lied! A lie! Lying!” maki Ruhif pummeled the silent Lithia unable to say anything.
“Soldier, take the boy away. This place is dangerous,” Lusy said to one of the soldiers standing nearby.
The Ruhif was immediately lifted and was about to be taken to a safe place. Lithia immediately arrested the soldier and protested against Lusy.
“Chairman Lusy, this is overkill. He did get the werewolf curse, but it's a delay,” Lithia said.
“You do not understand anything about the werewolf curse,” replied Lusy with a serious tone and a sharp gaze towards the battlefield.
“AAAAARRRGGGG!!!!”
The werewolf's growl shook the air. Not long after, the injured werewolf instantly healed instantly and his body grew to six meters tall.
The soldiers and adventurers were shocked, as was Lithia who had just protested. Everything except Lusy who remained steadfast while crossing both arms.
The werewolf did not stop attacking the soldiers with a powerful attack and blew away several soldiers and adventurers. The werewolf growled ferociously while drooling.
“Assassin, stay in position! Attack squad, don't be daunted! Rescue team, increase healing intensity! Warrior squad one, give help!” lusy exclaimed which increased the tension of the fight.
The werewolf was six meters tall and agile enough to be a heavy opponent. In contrast to before, their opponents this time around were more dangerous than before. The werewolf did scratch many times which caused some soldiers to be seriously injured.
“Arrange formation!” shouted Tom the warrior with his big shield.
*TRANG!
The werewolf again attacked, but this time the adventurers and the masked soldiers repelled the attack simultaneously. Those who resisted the attack were then slightly pushed back which was followed by the attacks of other warriors and adventurers.
*JRASH! JRASH! JRASH!
The two sides exchanged big scratches. Some of the soldiers were also wounded adventurers who were then taken by the second assassin squad to safety with the help of the Archers.
*TRANG! TRANG!
Iron and nails collide, shields and claws repel each other. It echoes strongly in the air resulting in a shock wave all around.
*BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM!
Several small explosions hit the werewolf's face, but not enough to knock him out.
The fight grew fiercer and there was no sign that the werewolf would be exhausted. Lusy was still silent where he was while continuing to observe. So far only injured victims, but Lusy began to be impatient with the course of the fight. The armour used on each warrior and adventurer of the Reymin kingdom is the best armor in all of Midfraz, but will not survive if the fight continues for a long time.
“LOGGER! LIAR!” ruhif yelled on the soldier's sling.
“Wait. Can he be here?” lithia said to the soldier who was about to take the Ruhif.
The soldier in complete armour just looked at Lusy. In military command, no civilian could command a soldier, but it was different from Lusy. In the kingdom of Reymin, Lusy is the equivalent of the royal war general Reymin and has been recognized by the kingdom itself.
“Let him here, but don't let him off your guard,” said Lusy without moving his gaze from the battlefield.
“Lusy, we brought them,” said one of the soldiers brought some priests to perform the purification ritual of the curse.
The priests were mostly women wearing white clothes and robes. They all looked terrified when they saw the six-meter tall werewolf.
“Can you do the purification curse on that werewolf?” lusy asked the priests without turning his eyes away.
“No way, the creature is too big. We cannot perform the ritual purification curse for such a big creature,” replied one of the priests who made Lusy pensive.
“Is there no other alternative?” ask Lusy again.
“The only one who can perform such large-scale sanctification, is only the priest of the holy kingdom,” one of the priests continued.
“Holy kingdom? You mean Mimo? Don't talk senselessly. Mimo is about a month from here,” refutes Lusy swiftly.
Everyone was shocked to hear this including Lusy and the priests.
“From where do you know Lusy's –,” sentence was interrupted when recalling Lithia's identity, “well, I won't ask. Lily, lead them to a large-scale purification ritual,” Lusy orders quickly.
“Alright,” reply Lithia who then hastened to instruct the priests.
The priests lined up in a circular pattern with Lithia as the midpoint. A swiftness began to be ejected and the priests slowly emitted a faint white light.
Lusy walked closer to the battlefield to join. He watched as the adventurers were thrown and saw the soldiers crashing. This brunette banged her gauntlet fist and gave a sharp look at the werewolf.
The werewolf suddenly fell silent which made everyone alert. The werewolf roared loudly until it shook the air once more. His body instantly recovered and enlarged to a height of eight meters. All of them gulped while trembling in fear seeing the huge werewolf figure in front of them.
“GGRRRRAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHH!!!” loud growling sounds that screech the ears.
The werewolf immediately launched an attack on one of the trembling soldiers on the spot where he stood.
*TRANG!
Lusy fended off the claw with his gold gauntlet. The ground that Lusy stepped on was immediately embedded into as a result of resisting the attack. Tom with several other big-bodied adventurers immediately charged forward then struck the werewolf's hand using their weapons.
The werewolf's hand retreated followed Lusy's orders for the next step.
“Tom! Drop guns! Be the left side! The soldiers who had more resilience, moved to Tom's territory! Luragorns! be the right sword! Adventurers with high mobility, help Luragorn! The rest come with me!” lusy quickly shouted.
*BLASH! TRANGS!
The claw of the werewolf's right hand came and was held by the team until some of them were pushed back and even thrown while holding the attack, other soldiers took advantage of the gap and attacked. Likewise with Luragorn who did not waste the gap.
*JRASH! *JRASH!
“GRRRAAAAGGGHH!!”
The attack from the sword squad made the werewolf launch a counterattack, but no one was injured at all.
*HUK!
Lusy hit the werewolf in the head as the werewolf caught his guard off guard, making him step back a few steps while holding his head.
“GRRAAAAGH!”
The werewolf muttered loudly and lunged forward and launched his attack.
*TRANG! TRANGS! TRANGS!
The sound of nails and iron clashing, both sides gave a great attack and defense.
*JRASH! JRASH! JRASH!
The sounds of slashes and claws were unleashed, tearing the flesh and armor of both sides.
The clinking of the belema, the air shook, blood spread, sweat emanated, and the tension of the fight grew increasingly jarring.
“GGRRRRAAAAAAAGGGGHHH.....!!!!!”
“SERANG ..!!!”
The cornered werewolf immediately jumped on top of the building intending to run away, but was greeted by a squad of assassins who were ready earlier. The assassins threw many small knives at the face to distract the werewolf.
*GGGRRRRKKKKK ....
The sound of a chain wrapped around one of the werewolf's hands. All the assassin squads that floated under the werewolf had wrapped their chains towards the werewolf. The warriors waiting below instantly pulled the end of the chain
The werewolf's hand was pulled down, as was his large body.
*BHUM!
The werewolf was lying on the ground and the priests were ready with their spells. The priests suddenly shone like glowing white lights followed by the appearance of ancient writings surrounding them.
A large white plain circle was created just above the ground level that was stepped on by the werewolf, making this werewolf jump high.
“Where are you going?” asked Lusy who was floating above the werewolf with his right hand firmly clenched.
*HUK!
A loud blow was released creating a shockwave that tore through the air and knocked the werewolf right above the glowing white circle.
Right after the werewolf touched the ground surface, a chain-shaped glowing white energy instantly shot out from the white circle. Ten large white chains shackled the werewolf and tied him to the ground.
“GGRRRAAAAAGGGHHHH!!!”
The werewolf snarled loudly trying to break away from the restraints of the chain. While the priests were desperately trying in the place where they cast a spell that made them spit out a little blood from their mouths.
“Large-scale sanctification like this is of course a heavy burden for priests who are not from the Mimo kingdom,” said Lusy observing the chained werweolf.
“But, we hope to you. You are the only hope now,” continued Lusy observing the priests.
The priests still chanted even though their mouths were bleeding. Lithia spread out her hands and another large white circle was created just above the werewolf. Lithia immediately closed her palms together quickly and instantly a white light connected the two circles of purification until a bright white pole appeared that was very blinding.
A dazzling glowing white light seemed to engulf everything within the white horizon. Lithia's hand shook and her mouth also flowed blood. Similarly, the situation of other priests who also cast spells while closing their palms.
*ZENG!
The white light instantly faded away instantly after a short while leaving behind a battle mark as well as the wounded warriors. The priests fell unconscious, including Lithia, and the purgatory circle disappeared, leaving behind a naked and wounded young girl.
“Mage! Quickly heal this girl and the priests!” exclaimed Lusy ordered a quick treatment on the helpless Libi.
Everyone immediately sat down from exhaustion, letting the mages and archers treat them. The battle is over and Libi has been successfully purified from the werewolf's curse. Lusy and the other fighters managed to catch their breath while being treated, making the atmosphere very quiet in that cold night.
