BUGH!
THUD!
A booming sound resounded as the two wolf shadows shot past each other and clashed with strength.
The powerful aura they released created a mighty wave in the air wall that dislodged the surrounding weeds like a bulldozer displacing rickety buildings.
Noel and his army of lycan hunters who ran towards the grass field immediately stopped when a wave of wind came and uprooted the trees.
“Tch!” Noel stood with his arms crossed in front of his face to dispel the various small materials that were bouncing. He clicked his tongue lightly.
The wind was still blowing strong. The two feet of Noel and his team members who were firm on the ground were slowly dragged backward due to the strong wind, until about seven seconds later the wind finally calmed down and Noel and his men immediately moved forwards to the grasslands.
Meanwhile, Nicholas and Leland were still engaged in their fight fiercely. Leland pounced on Nicholas’ body from behind and was about to tear the flesh that was there, but Nicholas didn’t just give up.
The king immediately turned around and counterattacked. He inflicted the same wound on Leland’s body.
Bloodstains splattered on every side of the weeds that had now become flattened.
Grrr….
Grrr….
The two’s voices continued to echo until Nicholas, who was focused on dodging and responding to Leland’s attacks, smelled a familiar human scent.
This… was the scent of Noel and the army of lycan hunters moving towards them.
Nicholas gathered strength and increased his speed in attacking Leland.
Leland was a little surprised by Nicholas’ speed increase. He was about to increase his speed too, but Nicholas had hit him first, so he was thrown and rolled away for six meters.
“Grrr… stop!”
Leland, who had just got up and wanted to attack again, suddenly stopped because he was a little surprised when he heard Nicholas telling him to stop.
Meanwhile, Nicholas was surprised because he suddenly could communicate using the lycan language. Initially he felt confused but then he thought that it was a natural ability that he had when he was in his lycan form.
“Grrr… stop here. I don’t know why you are attacking me. I was on my way to Duke Romanov’s manor. Earlier, I met two lycan children here, and I suspect that the children are prisoners of Duke Romanov,” Nicholas explained.
“Grrrr….” Leland further exposed his fangs and plunged his sharp claws into the ground. He who had been angry since earlier grew angrier when he heard Nicholas’ words.
Nicholas, who didn’t know that the white wolf in front of him was Duke Romanov himself, continued to speak.
“Grrr… If you’re here to save those children or save another lycan who is Duke Romanov’s hostage, I will help you.”
“Grrrrrr…” Leland growled even more in annoyance and showed a row of sharp teeth and fangs, but Nicholas still continued to speak.
“Grr… But it looks like we can’t do that tonight because now a very dangerous elite Royal Lycan Hunter army is heading here,” Nicholas explained.
He thought that the white wolf would stop after hearing his explanation, but oh he was so wrong. The white wolf charged back and attacked him. Even now, the white wolf’s attack was crazier than before.
It was as if every bite and every swing of his claws was meant to end Nicholas’ life in one fell swoop.
Nicholas, who had to defend his life, couldn’t help but fight Leland. They returned to wrestling and fighting to the death.
A terrible stinging sensation was felt by Nicholas when his wounds were rubbed or stabbed by the weeds that had been cut. The same thing was felt by Leland, but he didn’t care about his injuries.
The only thing Leland cared about right now was his desire to kill Nicholas, or rather the desire to finish the story of Nicholas and Sophie in that place.
Grrr….
Grrr….
The sounds of battle cry echoed in the walls of the air. The moonlight grew dimmer as it was covered by clouds.
Noel and the lycan hunter troop moved quickly through the grass, jumped and slipped between the fallen tree trunks and soon their eyes could see two huge lycans fighting.
Noel quickened his pace, followed by his troops, and when they got close, they jumped up and formed a formation that cornered the two lycans in the middle.
Nicholas and Leland, who realized they had been surrounded, immediately stopped their struggle to see the humans currently standing around them.
This was terrible!
Nicholas realized that he and the white wolf beside him were in grave danger.
They were seriously injured from the fight. Under such circumstances, Noel and the lycan hunter troops could easily catch them.
Nicholas also didn’t want to hurt Noel and the lycan hunter troop because, right now, they were just doing their job to protect Riga.
He had to avoid fighting them.
With a low roar, Nicholas looked at Noel.
Noel, who got a glare from the dark wolf in front of him, immediately put on a stance.
He thought that those amber eyes looked familiar. Too familiar.
However, before he could think too much about it, in the blink of an eye, the grey wolf had jumped at him.
Noel let his guard down. His body fell backwards, and at this time, Nicholas took the chance to pin the Head of Royal Lycan Hunter down. He stepped on Noel’s body. His forelegs pressed against Noel’s chest.
“Grrr… run!” said Nicholas to the white wolf that stood behind him.
When Noel fell, all the attention of the troops was diverted.
Leland, who was still furious, grew even more furious when he saw the royal lycan hunters that surrounded him. He really wanted to kill them one by one, but suddenly he stopped when he thought of Sophie and the kids.
If he got killed or captured… then Nicholas Hanenbergh would surely be free to make a move towards Sophie.
With a heavy heart, Leland finally decided to escape.
When he saw that the white wolf managed to escape, Nicholas immediately jumped down from Noel’s body and dashed towards the bushes.
Behind the bushes, he darted as fast as he could, and when he was close to the royal villa Nicholas immediately transformed into a human.
“Ahhh…” He winced as the pain from his wounds stung, but he forced himself to stand up. Nicholas took a deep breath and then managed to catch his breath.
He felt that the surroundings had calmed down. However, he wasn’t going to relax, instead, he rushed towards the villa.
Fortunately, when he arrived at the villa, the area was completely empty and no female servants were passing by. Nicholas didn’t want to imagine if a servant were to see him at this time.
Perhaps at sunrise, the news of King Nicholas Hanenbergh wandering around in the middle of the night butt naked would shock the villa area and its surroundings. It would quickly spread to the palace.
If the news reached the queen’s ears, maybe Queen Marianne would have come straight to the villa and slapped Nicholas’ cheek for embarrassing the family’s reputation, but it still wasn’t the worst.
The worst thing was when the news reached Sophia Romanov’s ears.
If that really happened, Nicholas would just hang himself.
