LEGENDARY GUARDIAN 55 Chapter 55: Broken Bonds

The smiles on the faces of the Lockwood's soon vanished after the small cloud of dust dispersed. At the center of a crater which the suspected was close to 20 to 30 meters deep stood Cornelius, the elder of the Salvor family. He gently wiped the dust off his body as he walked out of the crater, not bothering to say a single word to his enemies. His gaze shifted to the disfigured body of his grand-son, Stella's father who was killed shortly after creating a path for Fred and Stella to escape through

"No one is truly immortal" Cornelius muttered. The sad expression on his face soon vanished, replaced with anger and hate.

Surprisingly, these emotions were not directed to any of the Lockwood's. It was directed towards the man whose ego and pride made him accept an invitation from their enemies, hoping to showcase his strength and subdue the wolves of Briton. But now, everything has backfired. Not only did he lose almost every member of his small family, but the ones who managed to escape are also currently been chased down by the knight of the Lockwood family.

Although he attempted to chase after them, these wolves and the nature mage deprived him of all the opportunities of which he would have used to escape this encirclement. His lips parted but no words came out, this was because of the sudden change in the facial expressions of the Lockwood family members. Seeing them wear a confused and sad expression like that while glancing at each other made him wonder what had happened

"What's the problem?" Francis asked. He too noticed the sudden change in the temperament of the members of this family and it was definitely not because of the sudden appearance of this ancient vampire who is supposed to be dead

"Derik… the special bond which ties all members of a wolf pack together is broken… I can feel it" Barry responded

"How is that possible?" Francis's eyes widened in disbelief. There are only three ways in which something like this can happen. The first is breaking the bond and severing all ties which the members of your pack. This rarely happens and when it actually happens, it takes time. It is a gradual process and not something that can just take place in an instant. Even the members of the pack most times notice this before it happens and either lets the faulty member go or kill him

The second is joining another wolf pack, but this option is not something to consider since the Lockwoods are the current overlord of this town and there is no other wolf pack present in this town. And Finally, the most reasonable option here is Death. Only death can severe such a powerful supernatural bond easily

"Yes… I believe Derik is dead" Scott confirmed Francis suspicion

Hearing this, Francis's eyes widened due to shock, his gaze shifted to Cornelius who was equally shocked as well. He didn't expect Stella and Fred would be able to bring down that kid who possessed such powerful aura. All he could see now was

HOPE!!

His muscles began bulging and his slightly hunched back, straightened after a few cracking sounds which drew the attention of everyone was heard. Here he was a few minutes ago, wallowing in pain and despair, thinking his whole lineage has been wiped out. Now there is hope that he could reunite with two of his great-grandkids, why won't he fight with all his might? The fire of youth lit up in his heart as he prepared to do battle with this accursed wolf family.

"We will have time to mourn later, but right now, you have to focus on this fight… if you don't… there will be no one left to mourn Derik!" Scott desperately explained to Francis in a bid to make this man focus again. Francis only nodded and directed his anger to the elder who now wore a smile on his face

"This is the final battle everyone! With your support and skills, I believe we can bring down this abomination of nature… Tonight we end their story!!!" Scott growled and dashed towards the elder.

Jumping over five meters high, red energy flowed out of scotts claws

"Silver-level Combat technique: Brilliant Claw" He screamed as he brandished his claws at Cornelius, releasing numerous red claw energies that danced towards the intended target.

Ignoring this, Cornelius' eyes darted around the battlefield looking an escape route, but what he saw made his expression turn grim. From all sides were all sorts of spells and yellow claw energy attacks from the other members of the Lockwood family

"Fire magic: Fire ball"

"Fire magic: Fire spear"

"Ice magic: Ice shards"

"Earth magic: Boulder Barrage"

"Martial art: Slash!"

"Martial art: Threefold python slash!!"

"Consecutive shots!!!"

"Scattering shots!!"

"Backstab!!"

"Jab!!"

This time, the fifty mages and melee fighters of the Lockwood family refused to stay out of this. Everyone hurled attacks at this ancient beast, hoping to steal its life at one go. Looking up, Cornelius inwardly cursed the nature mage on the side of the Lockwood family when he saw multiple vines, descending from the skies. The vibrations he felt below was enough to tell him that more of those cursed vervain vines was making its way to him from below, the fact that this man could a.n.a.lyze all this in just a second is truly terrifying. Taking a deep breath, the frown on the mans face vanished and was replaced with determination

"SCRAM!!!" Cornelius screamed as he jumped towards the area with the least number of attacks. Powering through multiple b.a.l.l.s of fire, ice shards, rocks, and even arrows!

Bam!

Bam!!

Bam!!!

With just sheer speed and power, Cornelius sent over 10n guardian knights and mages flying.

Wooosh!

An a.s.sa.s.sin suddenly became visible behind the elder, wielding his dagger in a reverse grip form, he struck at the vampire, aiming from the spine

"Bronze Combat technique: Fatal strike!!" He roared at the last moment but then…

Cornelius' figure vanished, reappearing behind him. Grabbing the a.s.sa.s.sin by the head, the elder vampire proceeded to break the man's neck before sinking his fangs into the a.s.sa.s.sin's neck, feeding on the man's blood

"Healing Feed" Cornelius muttered with a mouthful of blood before tossing a.s.sa.s.sins corpse to the side. All the injuries on his body slowly started healing, even those inflicted by the Lockwood's which couldn't be healed by the normal vampire super-fast healing means. Cornelius red eyes glowed even brighter as he gulped down the blood

"Well then… its time I show you all why you shouldn't be rude to your elders…" He said with a sinister grin on his face.
