Chapter 66 - Lurion: The Monster Feared By The Celestials

Right after Shiro left, many of the wolves went hunting in another direction. Of course, it was a day for them to hunt.

They had to hunt as many beasts as possible and bring them back so that they could share with everyone. Of course, if they wanted they could eat at the spot, but they had to ensure that he could hunt at least one beast as big as their sizes apart from eating their own share at the spot.

It was a tedious task indeed, but the wolves of the Biola clan were very good hunters. They were quite fast on their feet due to which they could hunt the fast-running beasts as well.

Not to mention, they were highly skilled. Of course, they would for groups while taking on larger prey but in terms of smaller prey, they would kill them swiftly even before they would get the chance to run or attack.

Around fifty of the wolves were sent to hunt, at least that's what everyone thought. But in reality, something entirely different was planned because of which they went away as quickly as they could.

"Haha, so tell me, Aaron, should we have a spare against each other?", that was the first thing Kira asked after waking up. Aaron was surprised. It seemed as if he was preoccupied with something else.

"Well, I would love to fight with you but not now..."

"I'm a bit busy...", Aaron averted his gazes and walked away.

"..."

Kira found it rather surprising to see Aaron reject an opportunity to have a duel.

'What was that?'

'Did he just reject me?'

It seemed as if Kira knew Aaron very well. Perhaps that was why he found this small rejection as a great change.

'Is he troubled by something?'

Kira thought of a way to help Aaron because he was completely sure that Aaron was in some sort of trouble. In fact, he was absolutely certain that the trouble was huge enough to cause trouble to Aaron therefore he rushed towards him to ask about that.

"Tell me, Aaron, are you troubled by something?"

"Or is your health not good?", indeed, health could also be a problem so Kira ended up; asking that too.

"Ah, no Kira, actually I have a meeting with someone today due to which I'm a bit worried...", Aaron said in a low voice.

"Meeting with someone?"

"Can I know who that someone is?", Kira was now interested.

"His Highness Lurion..."

The moment Kira heard that name, it was as if the ground under his legs slipped away.

"He sent a messenger bird today morning and asked for me to meet him alone..."

'Lurion?'

'Why would he contact Aaron?', Kira's eyes were shaking. In fact, he was way too lost in his own thoughts that he could no longer hear what Aaron said.

'Something is definitely up...'

"Aaron, I guess it's best for you to stay here and not go anywhere near him...", Kira said in haste.

"...", Aaron seemed displeased after hearing that.

"But...", Aaron wanted to go to know the reason for the summon.

Of course, he was way too scared to even speak properly, but even so, he was much more scared of the rage of Lurion that would emerge if he were to know that his summon was rejected.

"Listen, Aaron, you know about him better than myself..."

"Do you really want to go near a monster who is feared by the very Celestials?"

*gulp*

Both of them swallowed a large amount of dry saliva. Shivers ran down their spines as they continued to think about this.

"But if I don't go, he would end up destroying this entire forest in search of me..."

"That would end up hurting others too!", Aaron was tensed.

So who exactly was this Lurion whom even Kira feared? Needless to say, he was feared by Celestials as mentioned by Kira.

Lurion was just another wolf-like any other but it had a special property, it had the power of necromancy!

Necromancy? That does sound familiar. Well indeed, it is one of the rarest evolution or attributes in the world, and only a few, in numbers, it could be represented within single digits, were present in the entire world who could use necromancy.

So was the power of the undead that feared? Indeed, it was. The reason was way too simple to understand.

If a wolf could command an army of undead, then no one would even be able to stand against such a monster. Of course, the main reason why everyone feared Lurion was because he had five undead out of which four were previous Celestials and one was a dragon!

That was why any single Celestial was afraid of it too because a single celestial couldn't possibly defeat five Celestials on its own!

So it was clear why everyone feared Lurion. But one question remained, why did Kira say that Aaron knew him better?

"But you would be killed!"

"Are you crazy?"

"Why would you go somewhere to die?", Kira failed to understand.

Kira thought that Aaron could just run away with everyone so that Lurion would never find him, but it seemed like Aaron had something else in his mind.

"Why don't you just run away?"

"I'm sure with your skills you can easily run away!", Kira finally said. He wanted to persuade Aaron but in the end, he failed.

"I sure can, but what about my Clan? My people, won't they become his target?", he made a valid point.

"As you said, I know him better..."

"Of course, that's because he is my Blood-related brother..."

"I'm sure, he could never forgive me for what happened 'that day'."

"He would hunt me even if meant for him to go to hell."

"That's why..."

"I have to go and answer his summon..."

"Why shouldn't we protect something when it can still be protected?", Aaron said this in a low voice and walked away from there while Kira stood with his head lowered.

'Idiot...'

'The protection that you speak off...'

'It comes with a sacrifice...'

'And right now, the sacrifice is you.'

"..."
