Chapter 66 - Bonfire (2)

[Sorry, Host. I am afraid that your body can not withstand that amount of strain, especially in its current state where you are unable to use Evolution Points to Evolve yourself. But, there is another way...]

By the time Hana finished explaining her plan, Han suddenly asked Mian if he had a plan on how to handle the matter.

"I have an idea, although it might not be what you expect," Mian answered.

"Go on."

"Dion, Daniel, and myself will head closer to the bonfire, and then I will empower them using my Gift. The three of us should be enough to shake things up a little. When Dion and Daniel have managed to catch their attention, the rest of the taskforce can strike from behind to put down the humans."

Han rubbed his chin as he considered the plan that Mian had proposed. "How sure are you of this plan succeeding?" He asked.

"At least 80% sure, sir." Mian stated confidently. In truth, he had just included that the taskforce would join the attack when Dion and Daniel distracted the demi-humans and Beastkin under the humans' control, but he planned for the two of them to charge straight into the circle of bodies and strike down the humans as quickly as possible! With the strength that he would be temporarily granting them, such an act would be exceedingly easy.

"If you say so, then I can agree to your plan. It's not like any of ours have a greater chance of succeeding with no casualties." Han nodded his head and turned to the other leaders of the taskforce. They too, had no complaints.

Before long, Dion and Daniel found themselves standing at the edge of the small camp that the taskforce had made some distance away from the raging bonfire.

"Are we really going to do this? I feel a little nervous." Dion scratched the back of his head as he looked at the tall fire that reached up into the sky in the distance. It was rare for a dominant to admit their fear, or even nervousness, but Dion had fearlessly done this because he felt comfortable with the two other boys that stood beside him.

"Yup, we are. Well, you two are. I'll just stay a bit far away." Mian nodded while admiring the scene. "Are you guys ready?" He asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be." Daniel breathed.

"Ready!" Dion concurred.

"Alright, brace yourselves. You are going to get an immense boost in power, but it won't last forever. You guys just need to run down there, shove your way through the demi-humans and Beastkin, and strike down the humans. The rest of the taskforce will be close behind." Mian explained the plan to them. They understood that his current plan was a bit different than what he had told Han, but they trusted him enough to brush it off.

If Mian believed that they could accomplish that much with the power he was granting them, then they could accomplish that much.

Mian placed a hand on each of the boys' shoulders before channeling his powers.

[This blessing will only last for five minutes. It would be best if they make the most out of this time.] Hana gave some last minute advise that Mian didn't hesitate to pass on to his friends.

"You guys only have five minutes. After that, you will revert to normal."

A corona of golden light enveloped the two boys' bodies after Mian had passed his warning. Streaks of deep, golden lines made their way across the boys' bodies as a feeling of unbridled strength coursed through their veins.

Yes. This was the same ability that Mian had used to defeat the Pillar of the Henshaw Dynasty some time ago, but instead of using it on himself, he was using it on someone else.

Hana had told him that although he was unable to use this ability on his own, he could temporarily grant it to others. As long as those who were bestowed with this blessing were strong enough in their base forms, then they would be able to withstand the strain of this ability much more easily than Mian had.

They would still be able to retain some fighting ability, unlike Mian who had lost consciousness after the ability had worn off from him.

Feeling this strength coursing through their bodies, both Dion and Daniel understood that it was time for them to carry out their portion of the plan. They immediately dashed forward with all their strength, looking like two dark comets as they cut straight through the darkness of night, and straight at the crowd that encircled the bonfire.

In just a few moments, they had already crossed over half of the distance between the camp of the taskforce and the bonfire. That was when the strongest among the members of the Bolvar pack sensed that something was wrong, but it was already too late for the to react.

By the time they turned around to face the threat head on, the two dominants that were under Mian's blessing had already crossed the clearing that the bonfire was in, and shoved their way through the crowd!

All this happened in less than a minute, stunning everyone who was watching from the camp.

"What is-?!" Before the leader among the team of humans could react to the sudden change of pace of their slaves, his throat was already slit by an impossibly sharp claw, leading to a fountain of blood spraying from around him.

He turned around in pure shock, taking in his surrounding on his dying breath. His eyes widened as he saw that his companions had equally slit throats, and that was when he realized that his throat had also been slit.

Before he could do anything more, life left his body, and his eyes lost that shine of life, turning dull and empty.

Thud!

As one, the bodies of the humans who had been at the center of the mass of demi-humans and Beastkin fell to the ground, dead.
