Novel Full 732 Darkbound Versus Claw!
—–
CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
Darkbound’s Abyssal Sword swung rapidly attacking Claw several times. The werewolf intercepted a few of his blows with his metal-like claws, while using his powerful Beast Aura to push the heavy Undead away from him.
However, Darkbound was like an unmovable mountain. He continued stepping forward while swinging his word, vertical and horizontal slashes raining down over the werewolf. Each slash brought upon an explosion of darkness, already covering Claw’s body with wounds.
“[Abyssal Death Blade Arts]: [Netherworld’s Slash]!”
TRUUUUMMM…!
Darkbound unleashed a powerful vertical slash that channeled the very power of the Netherworld, a blue and green-colored aura of death emerged as he unleashed this Art, impacting Claw and pushing him down into the floor.
SLAAAAASH!
BAAAM!
“Graaarrggh… T-This damn… Skeleton…! I was about to fucking eat you some seconds ago!” Claw cried in frustration. “Now my army… my men, everything…”
Claw had been told this would be an easy task, but things only became worse and worse as time went by. With Maria’s Egos appearance, things quickly changed to the worst. The Frost Army was being wiped out and the werewolves that came to fight at Claw’s side were all dead by the hands of Darkbound’s merciless attacks.
To make things worse, he had been promised it would be an easy task by the Frost Queen herself. He, someone that was picked up by her when nobody else was there for him believed the Frost Queen words completely. And much like a loyal dog, he walked into a trap as long as his owner asked him to.
The werewolf tribe was a small tribe of beast-people that was nomadic, moving from place to place in the snow covered lands of the South of Midgard. They were often times hunted, and even discriminated by other fellow beast-men due to their more beast-like appearances, as they lacked humanoid faces and their entire bodies were covered on fur, lacking exposed skin.
Their bodies were tall, their claws incredibly sharp, and their appetite very large. In ancient times they formed enormous packs of barbarians that assaulted and killed and devoured people… Claw and his people were forced to this lifestyle for survival, but after having been almost completely wiped out three years ago by the combined forces of many Adventurers, they were left hopeless.
Starving, and with nowhere to go, they ended hiding inside a dungeon they found, and that’s where they saw it, the enormous Tower of Skadi, where the Frost Queen awaited them. They were drawn into the tower’s entrance, and were greeted by her.
“Become my servants, my family… And you and your pack will never suffer starvation ever again.” She promised them.
Claw, without any other chance, ended accepting such a deal, and they were feed, and given shelter, and power beyond their imagination. Especially him, who was the strongest of his pack, was given a gift.
With this gift and the powers of a Dungeon that the Frost Queen controlled, he was able to easily hunt monsters and gain tremendous quantities of EXP, leveling up quickly until he became S Rank.
He promised to protect his new home, and his Queen… At all costs. He came here with the mere task of slaying some civilians, something he had done many times already, as he used to be a barbarian bandit that assaulted and killed people to steal from them.
Deep down, he might have felt slightly bad, but he always thought that “life’s always been like this”. And simply did as he was told… He never expected that things would become so terrible many of his great warriors died so easily, and he was now about to die himself.
“N-No… not yet…! I cannot die YET!” He cried, as he was about to be stabbed by Darkbound’s sword into the chest.
The silver-colored bracelet on his left arm, which had the small head of a wolf made of silver on top of it began shining, as the power of the Ancient Wolf, Fenrir, flowed into him.
Although he was not worth to hold Fenrir’s Blessing unlike Kuro, as he was fighting against his interests, he held a special accessory given to him, the Divine Bracelet of Fenrir, which Skadi had forged using a fang that once belonged to the ancient, wolf god.
FLAAAAASH!
The power of the Divinity of Fenrir, even if a tiny fragment of it contained within his fang, was imbued into the body of Claw, enhancing his power to completely new levels.
“GGRRRHHH…!” Claw groaned. “GRAAAARRRGGHH!”
Having completely lost the ability to speak, or to even have coherent thoughts in exchange for tremendous power, Claw leaped towards Darkbound, administrating several claw attacks that unleashed shining, divine beast aura attacks with each blow!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
“You’ve become stronger through that Divine Artifact!” Darkbound noticed, as he swung his sword vertically and horizontally, slashes of netherworld energy and abyssal darkness impacted the claw attacks coming from Claw constantly, generating explosions across the skies.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
“AWOOOOO!”
Suddenly, Claw howled into the skies, as the skies themselves opened up, showing a bright moon shining down upon him, his jaws opened, readying a tremendous breath attack!
“What the heck is this bastard, a damn dragon?!” Maria within Darkbound panicked. “Darkbound, block!”
TRUUUMMM…!
A gigantic beam of moonlight descended upon Darkbound, as he barely put his divine sword in front of him, amplifying its powers through his own Mana and the Mana of Maria!
BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
The enormous, explosive beam of moonlight impacted with tremendous power. Darkbound was thrown down into the ground below, as the land shattered by the tremendous impact of the attack.
CRAAAAAASH!
“OOOOOGGGH…!” Darkbound groaned, as he continued trying to unleash his own powers. “[Hekaton: Earth Shattering Slash]!”
FLASH!
The Divine Sword Hekaton suddenly shone brightly, activating its unique skill: [Earth Shattering Slash]!
SLAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!
TRUUUUUMMM…!
A gigantic slash descended upon the entire land, piercing through Claws Moonlight Beam and then slicing through his body!
