"Shit! Those bastards can't do anything! Just as soon as they got into this territory the monsters tore them apart!" Gaur exclaimed angrily, waving his arms to his sides.
Even through the thick fog, his keen eyes could see how the monsters were easily massacring his men. Gaur was an experienced fighter; he knew that by attacking the Void with a great deal of energy, it was impossible to avoid casualties, but the sacrifices were not to be in vain.
'They've already killed over twenty Absolute Stage warriors! Who the fuck owns this Void? Why are his monsters so powerful?!' Gaur inwardly exclaimed.
"Looks like... I need to go into battle already, right?" Suddenly a quiet, deep voice with a powerful aura of danger sounded.
Gaur smirked, turned around, and said, "Yeah, if you don't help them, we'll just lose too many of our fighters without taking even a square meter of ground."
Behind Gaur stood a massive red wolf whose muscles were even bigger than Gaur himself. On his back were two broad, curved swords that emanated an aura of death as well as from the Red Wolf.
"Fine... In that case, I'll head to these misty lands... Apparently, there are some pretty strong monsters there, I'll take them on myself." Red Wolf muttered with a calm expression as if he was absolutely certain of his victory.
"Go. It's a shame this zone came up so early because a little more and you could have reached the Demigod Stage just like I did." Gaur smirked looking at Red Wolf's broad back.
"It doesn't matter. All you have to do is deal with their leader, and what's more, we have a powerful ally." Red Wolf shrugged his shoulders before jumping out of the portal.
He headed toward the misty lands with great speed before reaching the bottom. The ground beneath him cracked, forming a small crater as the shockwave tossed several monsters aside.
"Argh!!!" The monsters roared furiously and, after a brief lull, simultaneously pounced on Red Wolf.
"Away. I'm not interested in you." Red Wolf swung his arms in front of him, releasing sharp wind blades.
The wind blades began spinning around Red Wolf at tremendous speed, for a time, forming a veritable fiery tornado. Any monster who tried to get through the tornado received deep cuts and severe burns and was then forced to step aside.
Red Wolf looked around, though there was only thick fog around him, he could easily determine who his opponent was.
"Here... but which of you two is in charge...?" Red Wolf spoke softly with his head down as his gaze drifted to Sarras and Blademonster.
"He...noticed us..." Blademonster spoke as he turned to Sarras, "What shall we do...? If you want I can fight him..."
Sarras remained silent until he shook his head and said, "No, I'm afraid it would be too dangerous for you. It's probably one of their strongest fighters, so that's a problem I have to deal with."
Blademonster nodded and took a step back, disappearing among the mist like a ghost.
Sarras waved his cloak as he with confidence in his gaze headed forward straight for Red Wolf.
"Agh...? Lich? How boring, I was hoping for a worthy opponent waiting for me here." Red Wolf frowned as Sarras emerged from the fog.
"Hmm? I thought Beastfolks was supposed to have amazing instincts. Can't you feel how powerful my energy is?" Sarras smirked, releasing his aura outward.
White streams of energy surrounded him as a massive silhouette of a skull appeared above him, as if death had already laid its eyes on Red Wolf.
"Well, I can clearly feel how much energy you have, it's actually an impressive level, but you Lich, you could never defeat me." Red Wolf said arrogantly before pulling his swords from behind his back.
"You rely on the strength of your undead, while I fight relying only on myself and my weapons! All I have to do is deal with your servants, then you will be easy prey!" Red Wolf exclaimed before rushing forward.
Crackle.
The ground beneath him collapsed as he turned into a fiery flash, instantly reaching Sarras.
"'Get it!" Red Wolf exclaimed, raining his blades down on Sarras.
Sarras didn't dodge, he continued to stand still with a slight smirk on his face that seemed to say that all of Red Wolf's actions were useless.
Whooooooooooosh.
Two massive bony arms emerged from beneath the ground, their palms covering Sarras from the attack like huge shields. The blades were able to cut through the bones, but only slightly as their tips hovered in front of Sarras's face unable to advance any further.
"First of all, I don't rely on others. I'm strong enough to defend myself. In the second place, you're being too cocky for someone who couldn't cut through two knucklebones." Sarras smirked as he touched the tip of one of Red Wolf's swords, "Third, you're right, I am Lich."
Crackle.
At the same moment, next to Red Wolf, several passages opened in the ground, from which four silhouettes jumped out. They wore bulky armor and massive swords in their hands that immediately rushed toward Red Wolf.
'Shit! He's got me! I must do something urgently!' Red Wolf inwardly exclaimed as he gripped his swords tightly. A wave of flame went down the curved blades that slightly melted the bone palms allowing Red Wolf to pull his swords out and jump aside, at the very last moment.
Four massive swords collapsed simultaneously into where Red Wolf had just stood, as they left wide cuts in the ground, more than a meter deep.
"I don't know how you imagined our battle or the battle against the Lich, but I am different." Sarras grinned as four massive knights stood before him whose eyes burned like blue ghostly lanterns.
"I evolve in both directions, so don't think I can't do anything without my undead. I think our battle will be a real nightmare for you! Ahahahahaha!" Sarras laughed angrily.
