Omega Summoner

Chapter 391: Battle with Nikita I

”It seems my brother has rounded up ten werewolves without our help.” Solstice stated as they were resting a bit before departing once more.

”What happened to waiting for the other peopleʼs aid before attacking a group?” Lycan wryly asked.

”He said that there was only one beta guarding them and he has confirmed that we are against faceless ones. He also told us to be careful as their shapeshifting is perfect and he only knew that the enemy was a follower of a dark god because of their souls.” Solstice added.

”He can see souls!? Is he something like a part-time grim reaper or something?” Lycan joking asked.

”I asked him, and he answered that he is something like that.” Solstice replied.

”Seriously?! I was joking when I said that but who knew it is actually true. Are you not going to wear your sun armor to protect you against the sun?” Lycan stated.

”If I wear it then my movement speed would be hindered. Being out in the sun will only reduce the damage that I deal anyway and not my speed, so it is fine. They usually rest inside a forest anyway so the damage reduction would be invalid as long as no sunlight pierces the forest.” Solstice answered.

”I trust you regardless. You always make the right choice.” Lycan stated as they continued their quest.

A few minutes later, the three members of the Shadow Wolves that led the search came back. It seems that their search has finally bore fruit because a group of werewolves are just a few minutes away from them.

”They are currently undergoing training. It seems that three betas are present in that group. Should we proceed with the objective to capture them?” Shado, the leader of the Shadow Wolves, asked Lycan.

Lycan looked at Solstice and the latter just nodded. It seems that they are confident that they could fulfill the task of capturing them. Lycan is still feeling a bit unsure and told Solstice to call Equinox to their location which she did.

”We should restrain the young werewolves first after their training. They should rest up after fighting after all.” Solstice stated and Lycan agreed.

”We will move after you three incapacitate the young ones. We would then use that time to confront the betas. We should be wary as one of them might be a faceless one.” Lycan suggested.

”One of the betas seem to be Nikita. I am sure that she is just a normal werewolf and not a faceless one. The only faceless one that Equinox saw that time was Eirene. The other two betas are new faces that were not present in that meeting.” Solstice stated as she noticed the beta werewolves supervising the young werewolves.

”I will prepare my spell wide area spell that produces fear then.” Solstice stated as she went into position.

The young werewolves started to rest when the sun started to go down. Solstice smirked as this was the perfect environment for her to use the wide area fear spell. She started channeling the spell and a red mist started to be released from her body.

Solsticeʼ eyes glowed in a red light and her voice started to be heard as numerous whispers. Fog started to roll in the area where the werewolves were resting. Due to their enhanced hearing, the werewolves could hear the numerous whispers of different people that Solstice is creating.

”Is this forest haunted?” One of the young werewolves asked Nikita.

”Do not worry, little one. Hauntings are but mere illusions of the mind.” Nikita answered but she also felt that the fog was unnatural.

”Night Terror!” Solstice muttered and the werewolves suddenly felt an intense stare looking at them.

The sudden feeling of being watched with intensity made the werewolves restless. The Shadow Wolves immediately did their job and started to shoot darts coated with wolfsbane to the young werewolves. One by one the young werewolves lost the feeling of their limbs and fell to the ground.

”We are under attack! Hurry and come behind me.” Nikita shouted.

A howl is then heard inside the forest that they were currently in. Nikita knew that this was the howl of another werewolf. She looked towards the sky and saw that it was already almost nighttime.

”Hurry and round up those that cannot move!” Nikita commanded the two betas under her command.

The betas silently did as they are told but the fog that covered the forest became a great inhibitor. When they are about to fetch the werewolves that lost their strength, they were no longer in their respective locations.

Numerous daggers are shot towards the two betas under Nikita. They were able to fend off the daggers by clashing their swords against it.

”Show yourself!” Nikita shouted as she protected some of the young werewolves that managed to reach her.

No reply is heard but she heard the clash of steel a few meters away from her which should come from her subordinates. Nikita wanted to go after her subordinates but that would also mean that the young ones under her care would have no protection.

Nikita then felt the presence of someone charging towards them. She readied her two swords in order to meet whoever is charging towards them. A huge bipedal wolf with hair of gray and silver suddenly made a slashing motion towards them.

Nikita parried the claw with her two swords, and she could feel the weight of the attack. She could somewhat handle the attack, but it was still heavy for her. She also started to slowly transform into her wolf form.

Nikita suddenly started to grow a few inches bigger, and fur started to grow from her skin. The fur that grew is brown in color while her eyes became amber. She released a howl to indicate that she has transformed and also to warn her opponent that she will rip him to pieces. The epic fight of werewolves has finally started.
