The Atrocious Werewolf Prince

If Ezra Zephyr hadn't gone through the hellish training that gave him astonishingly sharp senses, he would have likely been unable to discover the dust that could not be seen with the naked eye.

"The tiger is going to lose." Remarked Ezra Zephyr in his heart.

Sure enough, things went just as Ezra had expected. Unbeknownst to the tiger, its speed began to drop as the battle went on, while a faint layer of frost began to appear on its fur.

At a certain moment, Baron's eyes seemed to harden as his mouth opened, spitting out a ball of light. Inserting inside the body of the bird.

The Ice Bird also opened its beak as cold force whizzed out, transforming into an icy gale that abruptly swept across the area.

Icy winds howled past, instantly freezing the ground. Just as the tiger was about to circulate its force to block, its body suddenly turned rigid as the cold force inside abruptly exploded.

In the short span of a few breaths, the giant multi-coloured tiger had transformed into a life-like ice statue.

"I hate this, too tiring!"

Baron's shoulders slumped, his face a little sweaty. The earlier battle might have seemed easy, but at the end of the day, the tiger was still a peal 2nd tier Martial Animal, with power that was comparable to the early of the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Did you buff that bird?." The prince gave Baron a curious look. This was the first time he had seen someone ordering a Martial Animal without establishing a contract... except himself.

Baron grinned and said, "This is the innate talent of elves, just like beastmen's senses and dwarves' craftmanship. We elves, the offsprings of Sacred Tree can communicate with nature and my martial spirit has Light attribute.

Apart from that, the big guy was just a little too stupid, allowing the Frost Sparrow's ice dust to enter its body."

He hopped off the sparrow's back, arriving in front of the frozen giant tiger as he reached out his spear. With a gentle knock, the ice sculpture shattered, leaving only scattered pieces of ice on the ground.

White spiritual energy rose and converged in the air, forming a white spiritual bead.

Baron's hand reached out, attempting to grab the bead,

However, the instant he touched it, the prince's expression suddenly changed as he cried out, "Careful!"

The moment this word left his mouth, a flash of bluish mana suddenly shot out from the forest behind them, vicious and ruthless as it shot towards the fatal spot on Baron's back at an indescribable speed.

A rip could be seen in the air in that split-second moment.

Baron also sensed the sudden spiritual energy that was heading his way, causing his expression to involuntarily change. However, he had just relaxed his guard, and would not be in time to circulate his spiritual energy. The attacker had chosen the most perfect timing.

~SSCCCHHHUIII~

Blue thick light arrived like a flash of lightning. Just as it was about to hit Baron, however, Ezra's body swiftly dashed over, throwing himself forward like a pouncing wolf as he grabbed Baron and crashed into the ground.

They tumbled several times before coming to a stop.

~BOOOM~

The blue light landed on the now-empty ground, causing a wave of thick spiritual energy to unfurl. The ground was torn open, the boiling water melting even rocks.

The wave of liquid burned a good chunk of Baron's clothes, leaving a piercing pain on his skin. He frowned as he looked down at Ezra and asked, "Are you hurt?"

Ezra Zephyr shook his head as he stood up while pulling Baron to his feet before his dark gaze turned towards the dense forest behind them. "Come out, you sneaky fucker."

Baron's eyes were wide with rage, his teeth tightly clenched together as he stared in the same direction where the prince of Bloodfang Kingdom was looking.

If he had not responded as quickly as he did earlier, the sneak attack would have likely succeeded.

Baron angrily commanded the bird "Go and capture him!"

~EEEEE~

The sparrow-looking bird released an angry cry, its wings suddenly flapping as a surge of freezing air swept forth. Any tree that came into contact with was instantly turned to ice.

"Haha, what a violent elf"

When the freezing air swept past, bluish light exploded like boiling magma, completely blocking the attack.

The bluish mana parted, allowing Ezra and Baron to see a pretty figure elegantly and slowly walking out from within.

Only when she neared did they realise that it was an extremely pretty girl, her hair blue like the ocean.

"Who are you?" Baron's brows furrowed. They did not know this blue-haired girl.

Upon hearing Baron's question, the blue-haired girl smiled faintly, displaying a lovely smiling face.

However, there was not much warmth in her smile, but instead a chilling risk.

"Reema, Upper Realm, Las Filipinas"

"Reema? Las Filipinas?"

Ezra and Baron's expressions slightly changed at this moment.

"Boy... now I understand. I know who they are." Fenrir spoke.

"Tell me, Fenrir." Asked the prince.

"Las Filipinas is one of the superpowers which perished during the Celestial War, now just like me as a martial spirit, they have their own domain in the upper realm. The martial spirits of Las Filipinas are those terrifying mythic figures who wield amazing powers in past. Their domain's head has the Martial Spirit of a mythic god called Bathala. An entity who rivals Odin and Zeus.

Ezra was astonished, he knew how powerful Zeus and Odin were, Fenrir told him about them.

The prince stared at the blue-haired girl called Reema, frowning as he said, "Looks like your Las Filipinas has been eyeing our Naran Continent for a long time."

The other party's timing had been impeccable, secretly slipping into the Spirity Bailiwick through some unknown method the moment it opened. This clearly meant that they had been planning this operation for a long time.

"Hmm, Upper Realm witch, why did you attack me?" Baron's face was hostile as he stared at Reema.

"To leave my name on the Spirity Tablet of course." Reema softly chuckled. "Your Naran Continent does not have many decent apex-level geniuses, leaving me no choice but to seek you out."

"The likes of you? Ice Sparrow, fuck her up!" Baron let out an icy laugh. He was clearly infuriated by the blue-haired girl's earlier actions and did not want to waste any more time talking.

~EEEE~

The bird flapped its wings, immediately causing an icy force to gather towards it. It was a domineering and impressive sight, even the air began to freeze into countless ice crystals.

~SWWIIIISH~

It transformed into a flash of cold light that shot towards Reema at an astonishing speed.

The corners of Reema's soft lips curled slightly, the tip of her foot pushing off the ground as her body rose into the air. Meanwhile, bluish light shot out from her sleeve like a coiling acid whip.

~ZAACHHA~

The blue light descended, wrapping around the bird. It turned out to be a long liquid whip that seemed to burn with acid as it firmly bounded the bird.

~EEEEEEEE~

No matter how hard it struggled, the bird was unable to break free and cried in pain.

"Hehe, how do you like my whip?" Reema chuckled.

Baron was greatly alarmed, evidently never expecting that Reema would possess a means to restrain the 2nd tier Martial Animal. A single move was all it had taken to bind the unprepared bird.

"Acidic Beast Lock!"

Reema understood that she could not give any chances to a formidable foe.

After trapping the bird, she appeared in front of Baron in a flash, forming a seal with her hand as she sent it towards the latter.

~BOOOOM~

Bluish liquid mana whizzed forth, seemingly transforming into an acidic fist. The splashes of acid echoed from it as it ferociously blasted towards Baron with violent, overwhelming might.

The spearman gritted his teeth as he thrust his spear forward, light mana surging with a piercing hiss.

~BAANG~

The two clashed directly. Reema ended up nimbly drifting backwards, but Baron was violently shaken, staggering back several steps before steadying himself. His bright and clean face was flushed red, the mana and blood in his body clearly churning uncontrollably.

"Tch tch. You seem to be only so-so without that Martial Animal." Reema let out a pleasant-sounding laugh.

Baron's face turned dark with fury. He had many spells in his arsenal, but all of them needed high consumption of mana, he spent a lot of his spiritual energy to defeat the peak 2nd tier Martial Animal earlier, something that exhausted the whole squad of Ixtal Molarch.

Due to Baron inattention, the bird also had been trapped at the beginning of the battle.

"If that is all you have, there will be one less apex-level genius in your Naran Continent today." Reema seemed to sigh regretfully, but the smile on her lips was exceptionally cold.

~SWWIIISH~

Her body shot forward once again, bluish-liquid mana erupting from her body, the rippling wave of boiling liquid that ensued causing tree after tree to burst into flames.

She was like an avatar of acid as she charged towards Baron, fingertips flickering with a cold inhumane light yet incomparably hot at the same time.

"You think I'm scared of you?!" Reema's overbearingness caused Baron's temper to flare. He clenched his spear as his mana began to stir, intending to accompany this woman all the way.

Just as he was about to move, a figure blocked him from the front.

He looked over, only to be stunned. "Ezra...?"
