1519: Wolves

Wolves

Avlyn felt frustrated. 

She left the tent and went to meet Sivan.

"I want you to end this. Capture one of the golems or the undead and bring it while it is still active. I need to find the soul orb within it."

Sivan frowned and asked.

"Why do you need that?"

"To help you kill that person Sam of course. Do you want that?"

"How is that even possible? Do you think Sam would let such a loose end hang around like this?"

"From what you said, he is a cocky bastard. Why wouldn't he do such a thing?"

"I never said he is a cocky bastard. He is an arrogant bastard who is so confident in his own abilities that he dares to go against anyone and everyone."

"That sounds cocky to me."

"He is only considered cocky if he is exaggerating. But he is not."

"Yeah, I will believe it when I see it. Do you want my help or not? One of my subordinates can hurt his soul, but he needs that soul orb. You need to capture that thing."

"Alright. I will try."

"No, not trying. Send more people out there and end this farce. He sent a few hundred of those things and you are playing around with him with a hundred soldiers. What is the point of bringing so many soldiers and equipment if you are not going to use them?"

"I am saving them."

"For what?"

"Apparently you don't know Sam as I do and you are not really willing to believe whatever my reports said. So, I don't even want to bother explaining myself."

"Thanks, I don't have enough tolerance for bullshit anyway. So, you better bring those things in. Send more soldiers right now and tell those shooters to aim properly. I have been observing them for a while and they haven't landed a single proper hit."

"Alright, you don't have to criticize my subordinates. Just deal with your own fucking ones."

Sivan said coldly before moving away. He called for his subordinates and sent another hundred soldiers with earth armours.

Meanwhile, Sam who is still in the tower and is dragging out the battle a bit with the golems and undead is thinking of something else.

He didn't understand how the other party managed to lock the soul that was under his control and almost invaded his soul space. He created this soul space and the whole network with a different concept.

He didn't understand what kind of technique can a person use to get inside another person's soul space.

But he is feeling a bit cautious now. From what he could guess, the other party is way too powerful for Sam to deal with.

He doesn't want to expose his soul to someone of that strength.

"I might have to get out of here, before that. I just hope that Sivan takes the bait sooner."

He thought as he dragged the battle even more.

All of his golems and undead are playing defensive. They are dragging the battle so much with the advantage of their numbers and they are using the warriors as shields to not get hit by those earth elemental beams.

He really doesn't want to withdraw from this soul network before he did something big.

As he was thinking, all of a sudden, he noticed the gates of the camp opening. Another group of soldiers arrived.

They are also wearing the earthen armours and they are equipped with some much better weaponry.

They joined the fight and started suppressing the golems and undead.

Sam smiled and said.

"Thanks for taking the bait. Finally."

The next moment the golems and the undead moved in a very weird pattern. The undead creatures didn't try to attack the soldiers, instead, they just tried to stay close to at least two soldiers and a bunch of golems stood around them.

They started glowing. Earth and fire elemental energies riled up. They are focused on the undead creature which exploded.

*POOF*

Black coloured flesh sprayed on the soldiers. They also took the aftershock of the explosions of the golems.

*POOF*

*POOF*

*POOF*

The undead exploded one after another and the soldiers bathed in black coloured liquid that made then feel grossed out.

They cannot tolerate the stench and the cold, creepy feeling that liquid is giving.

But that became the least of their problems soon.

They felt a burning sensation all over their bodies and it is getting amplified every second. They felt like their organs are burning up. At the same time, they are feeling like their blood is turned cold.

That sharp pain of blood-freezing within the veins made them want to tear their skin open and pull them out.

Sivan looked at them from afar. There are some soldiers who didn't get attacked by these undead creatures' blood.

So, he gritted his teeth and called them through the communication token.

"Bring them to the camp."

After that, he turned to the healers and told them to take care.

"There would be some curses mixed in. Try to purify them. Use every purification technique you know and make sure you eliminate everything.

They are not that injured, so just make them take some medicine and don't waste your energy. Just focus on removing the curses."

"Yes, sir."

They immediately went on with their tasks.

"Sam, you annoying bastard. This is all you wanted to do after so much playing around? Am I overestimating you or did you lose your intelligence after you lost your body?"

He muttered to himself as he thought of any possible schemes that Sam could have had.

But after some thought, he just didn't want to think anymore.

"This bastard might just be cunning enough to do this and not have any meaning behind it. It might just be him trying to make me overthink."

He said to himself and looked at the Gaja city.

Gail and Gamin went back in.

Sivan gritted his teeth and thought of what to do next. He looked at Avlyn who is also mad at him. She wanted a golem or undead to attack Sam's soul, but now they are all gone.2

He took a deep breath and asked one of his subordinates to do something.

After a few minutes, eight wolf type puppets appeared out of the camp as they moved toward the city.

The wolf puppets looked like Raijus. They have this uncanny resemblance to the Raiju and if not for the obvious mechanical elements, they would pass out as real ones.

The wolves looked around for a moment as they started sniffing on the ground here and there.

"Now what are these things good at? Pretending to be wolves?"

"You will know when they do what they are supposed to do."

The wolves kept on sniffing here and there. It took a long time before they stopped and by the time they did that, they are in various positions around the city.

After reaching those spots, the wolves stretched their backs and necks upwards as they whistled.

*HOWL*

The howls reverberated throughout the area and all of the wolves had their eyes glowing when they heard the howls of others.

After the eyes of all the wolves were lit up, their heads moved a bit. After they came to a certain angle they, finally stopped moving and the bodies started forming.

The hind legs transformed into some kind of pile driver and drilled themselves into the ground. After that, the front legs also started getting into the ground but at a different angle.

The stomach part of the wolves started glowing as they opened their mouths wide and all of them started howling.

The energy in the surroundings was immediately collected from the legs and the whole body of the wolf before it was channelled in the stomach. Then it was pumped into the head of the wolf before it came out along with the waves of sound.

The energy waves and sound waves of all the wolves moved around and they clashed with each other while they moved toward the city.

The crystal dome that was already in place took the vibrations in and suddenly showed a slight fluctuation.

Sivan smirked and muttered.

"How the fuck are you going to deal with this? I highly doubt with your condescension you even thought that I am making these things. I doubt you have a counter prepared for this."

"What if he has?"

Avlyn asked as she looked at the vibrating dome with intrigue.

"Even if he has, he would be losing out a lot before he could make it. The only quick method is sending their powerhouses out and Sam is not the only one who has self-destruction wired in."

Avlyn raised an eyebrow in intrigue and said.

"This is a great chance. You are not letting this chance go are you?"

"Of course not. I am not an idiot. I have already planned something."

He paused and turned to his subordinates before saying.

"Undead Hive launchers."

The subordinate was surprised, but he immediately went to get what Sivan wanted.
