Chapter 492 Meeting A Platoon Of Cessation Knight

Gistella came out of the forest and with one powerful leap clawed the Undead's head gruesomely, the head got sliced into three pieces because of getting slashed by her super sharp claws.

She then kept clawing the Undead that is clearly dead in a fit of anger.

The deathless Undead's blood decorates her claws while she kept clawing and stabbing, what's left of that deathless Undead is nothing but a very disfigured corpse that doesn't resemble anything of what its appearance was.

After venting her anger to the deathless Undead, Gistella sensed something.

Straightening her body like an arrow bearing her towering and muscular figure, she looks to her front with her sharp yellow eyes. Her vision is clouded with red clouds because of the anger she's feeling, but it didn't hinder her vision.

It's more like an amplifier of focus rather than a hindrance.

Gistella saw a group of eight soldiers standing just beside the Everpurple Conifer Forest, they are all emitting powerful auras while they readies their weapons and get into their battle stances.

Looking at this, a wave of anger instills her with madness.

Roar!!

A powerful roar escaped Gistella's mouth as she bares her aura to the fullest extent.

Even from afar, she can see the group of eight's bodies tensed from hearing her roar alone. This shows that the group of eight is wary of her. But before Gistella can do anything, she saw two of the soldiers in the group of eight pointing their guns toward her.

The guns they are holding are grey and white matching their armors.

When the two soldiers pull the triggers, bullets start to rain down on Gistella as each one of them makes a powerful banging sound. The glistening bullets show that they're not just regular bullets.

From the red and blue energy imbued on each bullet, they're definitely enhanced by mana.

Gistella with her insane reflex manages to run sideways before the first bullet even reaches her, the bullet enhanced with red mana exploded upon hitting the ground while the bullets with blue mana exploded with ice.

Without a doubt getting hit by one of those will be painful.

They can probably hurt a seventh rank Supernaturals with enough bullets, but none of the bullets manage to hit Gistella. Her swift and animalistic movements make it hard to shoot her.

Not one of the bullets manages to land on her brownish furs.

Another one that is holding a bow has already pulled the string and charging an immense amount of mana while aiming at Gistella, the humanoid spirit behind him has also already materialized taking the same stance at the man.

The man then closes one of his eyes to get a better aim, a surge of energy gathers on the tip of the arrow, and when he finds the perfect timing to shoot he lets the arrow loose.

"Great Spell! Keen Lightning Arrow!"

Swoosh!

Lightning is crackling on the arrow as it flew after a booming sound resounded.

The lightning arrow is quite fast, way faster than even the bullets that are fired at Gistllea. In just a fraction of a second, it reaches Gistella that is still running from the bullets raining on her.

Gistella sensed this very fast attack heading toward her.

Almost like her body moved on its own by reflex and following her instinct, Gistella twisted her torso before jumping in the nick of time. She arched her body even more just enough to make the lightning arrow miss her waist by a hair's length.

Boom!

Dozens of trees got destroyed by the lightning arrow that missed Gistella.

But as if the man already expected the first one to miss, another arrow already arrived in front of Gistella's eyes giving not even a moment for her body to react even with her insane reflex.

She only manages to cross her arms in front of her to block the arrow.

Boom!

"Bullseye! Even for a Werewolf, it won't be able to come out of that unscathed", the man that fires the arrow said giving himself a pat on the back for his impeccable aim.

The leader on the other hand lower his stance and said, "Follow me, we're going to finish this"

Under the leader's command, the five soldiers wearing white armor including the leader dash towards Gistella which is still clouded with smoke from the arrow's explosion. They are moving in sync with each other creating an arrow formation.

Despite the distance separating them, the five soldiers reached Gistella in a blink of an eye.

Each of their bodies is covered with their own elemental aura added with spirit energy showing that all of them are at least sixth rank Awakened, the leader is the first one to strike.

After jumping to the sky, the leader swings down his sword covered with lightning.

The leader's body is covered with a green hue but the sword is cracking with lightning, it shows that he's a Wind Elementalist but the sword is a piece of battle equipment created by a Lightning Elementalist.

Just as the leader swung down, the sword suddenly hits a solid object powerfully.

Clang!

Upon feeling the hardness of the object he strikes that stopped his swinging momentum entirely, the leader looks up and finds Gistella looking at him and her body is covered with a bluish barrier.

This surprised the leader, there was not even a crack in the barrier.

Since the barrier should be hit by the powerful spell from the man with a bow, it should be able to weaken the barrier and at least crack under his attack. But no, that didn't happen at all.

But while the leader is surprised, the other four are already about to strike too.

Gistella didn't stay idle and roared while simultaneously pushing the bluish barrier wider, the barrier easily push the five soldiers including the leader that pushes them back before she instantly turns around and dash into the forest.

"Let's go after it! It's going to be bad if it reaches Eqosa City!", the leader shouted.

All of the group of soldiers wearing white armors dashes into the forest to pursue Gistella including the ones aside from the melee soldiers, they all move swiftly amplified by their respective mana.

With the dense forest as her cover, Gistella moved very quickly.

Although this is the first time she has turned into her Werewolf form, every act and movement she did is like her body already recognize it and is able to utilize it efficiently. She doesn't just sprint on all four on the ground, but she also used the terrain to her advantage to dodge the bullets and arrows that are still firing at her.

No matter if she needs to grab a tree trunk to change direction quickly, or even jump from one tree to another, everything she did is so efficient that it's horrifying.

The soldiers on her back were aghast seeing this,

"How the hell is it able to dodge everything, and even if it gets hit there is still the barrier covering it"

"It's certainly not a regular Werewolf, maybe an Alpha?"

"No way, an Alpha wouldn't be in our territory alone... Or does it luring us into an ambush?"

While listening to the other soldiers discussing the Werewolf that is clearly very powerful, the leader frowns as he fixated his eyes on the running Gistella that is getting further away. His eyes then flash before he said, "Let's get serious, it's nearing Eqosa City"

Gistella grabs a tree branch and swings her body forward,

She then immediately sprinted trying to lose the group of soldiers knowing that she has strict orders from Rex and also Evelyn to not harm humans, and if she stays with the soldiers she will definitely hurt them out of the Wolf Moon's anger.

Out of nowhere, Gistella looks to her front sensing familiar scents in front of her.

Just as she got distracted for a split second, something hits her right on her side sending her flying away and breaking many trees. She looks at her blue barrier and finds a crack in it.

But she didn't have the time to idle around as she roll backward dodging a green figure.

Growl!

Gistella growled angrily before her eyes landed on a green jaguar twice the size of her body, its body is made of spirit energy and wind mana and it also growled at her back.

From the looks of it, this jaguar is certainly a spirit shadow.

Soon the sound of footsteps approaching can be heard before the soldiers appeared, they all are very persistent despite Gistella showing clearly that she doesn't want to fight. But of course, for these soldiers her being here is a threat on its own.

While looking at the soldiers, Gistella's eyes turn bloodshot.

The lust for killing these soldiers is getting stronger for each second she spent around them, she's clearly struggling to hold herself back but she can't flee the soldiers especially since the leader is a seventh rank Awakened.

Probably in the mid realm since his spirit shadow can crack Gistella's barrier like that.

Upon seeing Gistella in front of them, one of the soldiers then said seeing the leader stepping forward, "Be careful sir, today is a full moon and we're fighting against a Werewolf"

Ignoring the warning, the leader stepped forward with the lightning sword in his hand.

"You've made a grave mistake for coming here, monster! Surrender your life and I will make your death swift and painless, if you don't then you will severely regret your decision", the leader said while pointing his lightning sword at Gistella.

The green jaguar is standing behind the leader while growling menacingly.

But instead of doing what the leader said, Gistella grabs her head before shaking it trying to suppress the immense bloodlust she's currently feeling. She's on the verge of a breakdown.

Each limb and organ underneath the white armor, she started fantasizing about them.

Gistella's claws are even starting to throb asking or even begging for her to tear the soldiers in front of her, but on the other hand, the command from the Alpha and also Evelyn is engraved in her mind.

Both sides are conflicted against each other, and Gistella suffers because of it.

Seeing that Gistella is not about to surrender quietly, the leader gets into his battle position with a raging gust of wind slowly enveloping his entire body. He holds the lightning sword with both hands intending to kill with a strike.

Crack!

The ground underneath his feet started to crack from the sheer pressure of the gust of wind.

Other soldiers on the leader's back shake their heads seeing the raging wind coming from the leader's body that even makes the entire trees around them wave left and right, they all know what the leader was about to do.

"He's back at it again, boasting his Pneuma Spell to our faces"

"It's good to have a leader with a Pneuma Spell though... I feel safer"

"Even though that Werewolf doesn't seem to be normal and clearly struggling from the full moon, it won't be able to get out of this one"

As the other soldiers talked in the back, the leader's eyes glow green brightly.

The green jaguar also roared powerfully amplifying spirit energy that is slowly gathering to the lightning sword, it came to a point where the sword turns green completely from the wind mana and also the spirit energy.

Lightning is still crackling around the green sword adding the penetration power of the sword.

While this is all happening Gistella is still holding her head trying to fight back the two conflicting sides, and this makes the leader scoff seeing her like that. The leader then holds the hilt of the sword tighter before dashing forward.

"Pneuma Spell! Seething Jaguar Slash!"

Just when the leader swings down intending to decapitate Gistella, out of nowhere his eyes dilated.

There's a black shadow that heads towards him faster than the trajectory of his sword, the leader realized that it's some kind of black spear and it clashes with his green sword creating powerful friction between two different energies.

Seeing the sizzling dark energy covering the black spear, the leader widens his eyes.

After a power struggle between his green sword and the black spear, the leader realized that he was getting pushed back by the black spear until finally, their collision exploded.

A shockwave exploded before the leader got pushed away and landed in front of the others.

"What happened? How did you get pushed back?"

"There's no way that Werewolf can block your attack, right?"

Hearing what the others are saying, it's clear that they didn't see the black spear.

The black spear is so fast that the other soldiers didn't see it coming, the leader started to frown as he mutters, "No... it's not the Werewolf. There's a Dark Elementalist..."

Just as he said that two figures expose themselves from the darkness.

Upon seeing the two figures that are also towering the same, the leader and the other soldiers can't help but sucked in a cold breath seeing that these two figures are also Werewolves. Their auras also show that they're not in any way weaker than Gistella.

In fact, the leader is wary the most seeing the Werewolf with azure furs holding a black spear.

Without a doubt, the Azure Werewolf is definitely Kyran. Feeling the dark mana from him, one question flashes past the leader and the other soldiers' minds, 'How did a Werewolf become a Dark Elementalist...?'

Kyran walk past Gistella with a devious grin,

On his back, Adhara who is also in her Werewolf form then said, "Restrain yourself Kyran, don't k-"

"I know, I know, I won't do anything like that just as the Alpha instructed. But beating them half-dead is not restricted right? I want to warm up a little...", Kyran replied nonchalantly.

Hearing this, the soldiers frowns.

Although they're a bit pissed from how Kyran addressed them so lightly, they all can't even feel Kyran's presence despite him standing in front of them. It's like he's not real.

It's like standing in front of a shadow of the darkness, Kyran's presence screams terror.

Just from his presence alone, the soldiers find a newfound fragment they never knew existed. A newfound fragment of the emotion they call fear.
