Chapter 152 The Most Dangerous Opponent

The ground beneath them seemed to erupt as vile, twisted creatures emerged as far

as the eye could see, bringing with them a stench that was so overpowering a

mult*itude of hands flew upwards to cover their faces with the masks of their attire as

they gagged violently.

The rotting flesh of the gargantuan beast that seemed to detach itself from the

mountainside rippled disgustingly as it lumbered towards them, vile fluids oozing from

the open sores and dripping down onto the ma*s*s of creatures swarming below it.

The entire convoy seemed to freeze momentarily in pure, unadulterated terror as the

scene that looked as though it had been ripped straight from a horror movie unfolded

before them.

In seconds, the Enclave’s guards sprung into action. Those that couldn’t shift readied

their weapons and offensive magick as the sound of breaking bones whilst the shifters

changed filled the air. An eerie symphony rippled through the landscape, filled with the

cacophony of grunts and otherworldly shrieks, punctuated by the snap of bones and

hum of magick in the air, the only human sounds were the hastily shouted orders and

the manic laughter that seemed to spring incessantly in their ears.

“With me!” The lead guard roared as he rushed forward, his glaive glinting

dangerously as it arced through the air in a murderous rampage.

The guards rushed forward, engaging the a*s*sailants head-on, the predatory shifters

savaging those that dared to come within reach as bursts of magick were fired

overhead, decimating the ranks of the creatures that swarmed them.

The drivers scrambled down from their positions as the beasts began to panic, lunging

at anyone that came close to them whether friend or foe. As soon as they had been

unhooked from their burdens they charged headlong into the fray, disregarding

everyone in front of them.

They cleared a path effortlessly before them as they surged forward, tossing bodies

wantonly through the air with their tusks. The unfortunate victims that were either not

paying attention or simply weren’t fast enough to move out of their path were quickly

trampled into a grotesque mess under the stampeding of their heavy hooves.

The guard’s eyes flicked across to where the beasts forced their way through as he

dispatched the attackers closest to him and saw that they were effectively making a

direct path toward the gargantuan beast that lumbered its way toward them.

He whistled to a few of the men closes and immediately they switched their focus,

following his lead as he charged headlong down the gap in the ranks of their foes

toward the most dangerous opponent on the field by far.

If they could dispatch the most obvious threat on the battlefield quickly, then it was just

a matter of finishing off the stragglers. The smaller creatures that swarmed around

them were only an issue because of their numbers. His heart pounded loudly in his

ears, and his breath was beginning to come in ragged bursts as they finally reached

within striking distance and as they launched their attack against the rotting ma*s*s,

flesh falling in chunks and the beast relatively unbothered by the damage that they

appeared to be doing, a deep sense of dread began to take root.

The creature glanced down at the tiny figures slicing away at his legs and seemed to

frown as he lifted his leg and swept it sidewards, knocking 2 of the guard across the

field, soaring above the enemy before landing in the middle of a large group and

screaming as they were swarmed.

The lead guard had managed to avoid the first sweep and roared in fury as he

redoubled his efforts.

The static of the magick flew past rapidly now, narrowly missing him as the magick

users began to focus their efforts on bringing the beast down before them, their

concerted efforts creating large holes in the body as it began to become increasingly

irritated with their attacks, swatting at the figures as if they were flies.

With a lazy swing of its gargantuan arm, the enormous monstrosity missed the guard

with his first shot but one of the smaller creatures that had taken him by surprise had

distracted the guard enough for the second swing to connect violently with the guard’s

body. Sending him soaring into the air, before crashing into a broken heap on the

floor, his body now lying motionless.

The woman’s laughter intensified from within the cage as the elite escort that had

been provided to see them safely to their new prison where they would await their

death sentences was slowly, but surely, whittled down until only one driver remained.

He stood silently by the side of the cart, gripping his concealed dagger tightly as the

gargantuan beast lumbered towards him and came to a halt, peering down at him

curiously.

“It f**’**g took you long enough you rotten S*hi*t…’1 he grumbled as he strolled

casually past him, stepping over the dead that now littered the floor.

The beast groaned forlornly as it lumbered after the tiny figure in front as they made

their way to the cages on the cart and the driver looked back at it with a frown.

“What? Don’t you look at me like that! You aren’t going to make me feel guilty for your

own inept*itude at getting rid of them! If you had been quicker they wouldn’t have

done so much damage!” The driver argued furiously shaking his fist angrily in the

beast’s direction as it m*oa*ned miserably.

The driver sighed heavily and ma*s*saged the bridge of his nose with his fingers in

exasperation.

“Fine! Goddammit… I’ll fix you up when I get back… for goodness sake… will you just

get these open…” He grumbled as he gestured towards the sealed cages.

The beast replied with a guttural gurgling sound and reached over him, taking hold of

the cage with both hands and ripping the roof seal open in a matter of seconds, before

peeling the cage open as if it were no more than an orange. The driver’s face split into

a wide grin as a woman emerged from inside and stood peering down at him

imperiously with an arrogant tilt of her chin.

“Figured you’d need rescuing.” The driver gloated as the woman narrowed her eyes at

him.

“It took you long enough.” She snapped testily as she smoothed her luxurious robes

down and looked around her in distaste.

The driver roared with laughter, tipping his head back as he did so.

“Come now sister, are you not happy to see your brother?”

“As happy as a condemned woman could be…” She answered with a bitter twist of

her lips.

“Pah! Ever the pessimist Narcissa!” He chuckled, ignoring her icy glare completely.

“Now, where’s my favorite niece… NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“Sobbing like the pathetic child she is. We should leave her here, Ely. Ada serves no

purpose anymore.” Narcissa snapped as she waved her hand dismissively toward one

of the other cages.

Her brother chuckled darkly.

“Oh, I don’t know about that. The master can always find a use for pretty young girls…

you know that…”
