Chapter 244 Unexpected
Muran carried Goldid with his Magic. He couldn't possibly carry the dark-skinned man in his arms because of his size. It only made his steps slower.
Goldid floated next to him. Muran didn't even want to look back and just kept walking forward.
He didn't care what happened. He just wanted to get inside the town and take shelter.
'Why is everything become so messed up like this?'
Muran thought that this town would only be their stopover before finally going to another city.
Of course, after they defeated the monsters surrounding this city.
After all, they are generous enough to not charge much for what they have done.
Who would have thought that stopping in this town would be doom for them?
Muran turned to Goldid who he made float next to him. The man had always been seen as someone strong and invincible. But now he is dying.
His sword and shield that was forged and imbued with Magic were not much use against the Lycan.
Weapons that never betrayed him now bowed before the claws and fangs of the Lycan.
After a few meters into the town, Muran couldn't help but turn his head towards the fight.
The same sight as he had imagined greeted him.
The flames emitted by the mysterious man who appeared suddenly were still soaring high as if they wanted to reach the sky.
Muran doesn't know who he is. But he was definitely a strong figure who might be able to fend off those Lycans.
"Please, whoever you are."
Muran pleaded in a low voice.
Then he continued walking while bringing Goldid into the town.
Erend waited for a few seconds but there was no significant reaction from the black-furred Lycan.
He didn't know whether he had managed to beat him or not.
But a moment later the answer Erend wanted coming to him.
The Lycan rebelled with a very loud roar. Erend could see him spring into the air and immediately swung his claws at him.
*DOUGHH!*
The claw swing knocked Erend several meters away. But he can stop easily by making use of his wings.
Sigewulf emerges from the flames with his fur charred in several places.
However, his dark-colored Magic protected him from the spreading flames.
Sigewulf's eyes were now bloodshot. Erend realized that.
He felt that now the Lycan would definitely get a little stronger.
Suddenly Sigewulf disappears from Erend's sight.
Erend frowned wondering where he was going. But a moment later his chest was hit by something that sent him flying up into the sky.
Before Erend could see what hit him he knew it had to be the Lycan.
He was moving so fast that Erend's eyes couldn't keep up.
*DUAAGHHH!*
One more strike landed on the left side of Erend's body. Again, sending him flying to the other side of the sky.
'He's really become faster.' 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖
Below, the Lycans and Grim saw what was happening.
Sigewulf has raised the level of the power he exerts once again.
They had never seen Sigewulf in such trouble before fighting an enemy.
But apparently, that man was a very different enemy from the ones that usually appeared before Sigewulf. 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜m
The Lycans can't help but think that the mysterious man is a big threat.
Grim wants to help. However, he knew that he, or any of the Lycans getting into the fight might just bother Sigewulf.
The Lycans - especially Grim - are by no means weak. But Sigewuld was still the strongest among them.
They know that they have to join the attack when forced to. Before that, they had to let Sigewulf deal with him first.
The Lycans know that they too can hurt Sigewulf's pride if they come to his aid when he is being serious.
Sigewulf would assume they thought he wasn't strong enough.
'I have to think of another way.'
Grim gritted his teeth and started talking to the other Lycans.
On the other hand, Erend was receiving rapid attacks from Sigewulf from the air that he couldn't follow.
His attacks were not only fast but also stronger than before.
Erend felt the pressure even stronger on the scale now. Even though it still can't make him feel pain.
Erend still can't match Sigewulf's current speed. That meant he had to upgrade his Stat.
'Show me my Agility Stat.'
[ Agility: 13 ]
'Use 7 Stat Points to upgrade Agility to 20.'
[ Agility: 20 ]
[ 9 Stat Points Available. ]
Erend felt a change inside him. As if something is flowing through the muscles of his body.
It was then that Erend knew that the effect of increasing his Stats had worked.
He could see Sigewulf shoot from in front of him.
Erend flapped his wings and he immediately fly away.
Sigewulf was shocked because the claws that had been hitting him suddenly missed and only scratched the air.
During his shock, Erend came and immediately punched Sigewulf in the face.
*BUAAAGGGGHH!*
Erend delivered consecutive attacks just like Sigewulf did earlier.
He didn't give Sigewulf a chance to think about what was really going on.
Erend kicked Sigewulf until he fell to the ground.
Sigewulf hit the ground again as hard as before.
The change in the circumstances of the battle made the Lycans stare in confusion.
Before, they see that the mysterious man was just receiving Sigewulf's attacks in the air.
But something happened in a split second that made the man have the same speed as him.
'Does that mean, that guy is actually stronger than Sigewulf?'
Grim wondered with a worried heart.
Since earlier maybe the mysterious man hasn't used all his strength.
'Then it's very likely that Sigewulf will have to change into that form to beat him. To think this battle would turn out like this.'
Erend followed Sigewulf down with a high-speed dive.
*BOOM!*
He thrust his fist into Sigewulf's chest with tremendous force.
After that Erend flew away. Sigewulf was silent for a moment.
However, not long after that, his dark-colored Magic was surging into the air and overflowing.
Erend stared quietly. Waiting to see what changes will happen to the Lycan.
