LEGENDARY GUARDIAN 8 Chapter 8: Alpha Verses Omega

Thud!!

Thud!!!

Scott dashed through the forest alone relying on the moonlight as a source of light. His eyes scanned through the area searching for any clue which he could lead him to Derik. His perfect black hair was scattered and his fangs became visible, his crimson red eyes burned bright glowing in the darkness and his clothes were ripped at various points, soaked in his own blood but there were no visible injuries on his body.

"d.a.m.n it… He looked like he was in control just a moment ago and the next moment he snapped and caught me off guard" Scott frowned as he spoke. His nose twitched from time to time as he tried to pick up Derik's scent. At this point he was pushing his enhanced abilities to its limits, refusing to transform. The full moon enhances the user's ability even further but in exchange, they lose their sanity and become wild. At the current situation, Scott knew that he could easily track Derik if he relied on the first level transformation but it is too risking. Should a werewolf transform during the full moon, tendencies of him or her losing control is extremely high even for an alpha. If he decides to transform there is a possibility that he may kill Derik by mistake, this is a risk he is not willing to take. He can only rely on the little enhancements his human form gets as a werewolf

"He's really fast… very skilled… this may be because of the training he receives at the a.s.sociation… his strength as a human before he received the bite was quite high and extraordinary so it's only natural that he is stronger than the average omega" Scott chuckled as he spoke.

Scott arrived at an open area surrounded by trees, the land which was once filled with green gra.s.s was now dyed red with the blood of animals and goblins. His nose twitched a little and he smiled, the wet dog odor he perceived definitely belonged to Derik. Even though there were corpses everywhere and the different smell could easily confuse a predator, his own case is slightly different. Werewolves are supernatural beings and can easily detect other werewolves, they had this wet dog odor that was hard to miss.

Wooosh!!!

Like an arrow released from a bow, Scott dashed at Derik's location at an insane speed. His eyes darted around as he moved

"There you're!!!" Scott screamed when he spotted Derik staring at his reflection at a nearby stream. Derik's expression darkened when he saw an intruder appear, he growled at the intruder and his bright blue eyes glowed.

Wooosh!!!

Before Derik could move, Scott had already appeared right in front of him. Such terrifying speed!!!

BAM!!!

Derik expression crumbled and he placed both hands on his guts, the aching pain he felt at his midsection made his vision blur for a second. Scott already took the initiative to attack and was not willing to give this young wolf a chance to retaliate. He clenched his fists and delivered a second blow but this one went straight to the face

BAM!!!

Derik was forced to retreat by a few steps and placed his left hand on his head; right now, he was feeling dizzy and could barely stand. He quickly struck forward instinctively, catching Scott who dashed forward by surprise

"s.h.i.t!!!" Scott muttered when he realized his mistake. He didn't expect Derik to react so quickly.

"F##k it!!!" Scott growled not slowing down at all. His body collided with Derik's claw and he gritted his teeth as Scott's claws dug into his chest. His eyes twitched in pain and his fists slightly shivered

BAM!!!

The third blow was still aimed at Derik's face, Scott quickly held on to Derik's hand to prevent him from escaping, he quickly threw another punch at Derik aiming for his face. In response, Derik tilted his head to the left to evade the attack and broke free from Scott's grip. Contrary to Scott's expectation, Derik did not retreat instead he took a step forward and brandished his claws at Scott. In an instant, both sides were locked in a bitter battle

BAM!!!

Derik was forced to retreat from time to time as his body was riddled with punches. He growled in response and attacked more fiercely. In just seconds since the battle began, Scott's body was filled with claw marks, it was clear that his regenerative abilities in this human form could not keep up with the injuries he sustained in this battle

[If this continues… I will be the first to fall] he thought. He breathed heavily as he stared at Derik who was in a much better condition. If this was any other Omega, this battle would have been over already

"This kid…" he muttered. Derik retreated and shook his head repeatedly, his bright blue eyes were fixed on Scott.

"Let's go again kid!!!" he screamed as his black hair stood up, claws sprouted out of his fingers and his muscles started bulging. Even though he refused to make use of the first transformation due to fear of taking Derik's life, he wasn't willing to lose his own in the process. His red eyes burned bright and he growled at the boy revealing his fangs.

Wooosh!!!

Covering over ten meters almost in an instant, he brandished his claws at Derik. Scott's calm nature vanished, instead he looked like a ferocious beast who had been awakened from its slumber. The tide of battle instantly tilted in Scott's favor as Derik had no chance to retaliate. In terms of speed and strength, the alpha right in front of him was superior. The initial wild nature was replaced with fear and despair as he struggled to stay alive.

"Sco... Scott.. stop!!!" Derik said in fear, he could feel the killing intent radiating from Scott, every attack from the man was aimed at vital points especially his throat. Scott bloodshot eyes were fixed on Derik's throat, he struck forward and growled. Derik immediately thrust his hands forward catching Scott's hand but to his greatest surprise, he couldn't stop it

[Such a difference in strength?... Is this the strength of an alpha?] Derik thought.

The hand reached for his neck and grabbed on to it. Derik tried to resist but soon realized that his body was airborne.

BAM!

He wanted to speak after his body hit the ground but his body immediately left the ground once more, again and again, his body was pulled off the ground and then smashed on the ground. After the fifth time, Derik felt dizzy, he found it hard to breathe and it felt like his throat was crushed. He stared at the vicious expression on Scott's face with mixed emotions.

…

…

…

Derik and Scott were seated at the entrance of the cave silently, they both looked miserable and Scott's clothes were shredded.

"Sorry I had to beat you to submission… I held back as much as I could… you were just too weak" Scott sneered

"Says the man who is only putting on pieces of his clothes… I obviously dealt a lot of damage … here take this… you need it more than I do" Derik snapped as he gave Scott his cloak. After a few minutes later, they retraced their steps and gathered all the corpses along the way to a spot, burning it

"If someone should see this many corpses… they will suspect something…" Scott explained as he set the corpses on fire.

The small pa.s.sage door made of iron slowly opened, at the other side multiple guards stood by. Previously, only four guards were sent to guard this pa.s.sage thinking only low-level goblins resided in this area but after the incident where the recruits killed over a hundred goblins and a goblin warlord, the military in this town didn't dare ignore this area anymore. Right now over fifteen guards stood by and watched two other guards open the iron pa.s.sage door, traces of fear and anxiety could be seen in their eyes. The new head of the Lockwood family usually asked for access to this area, previously because of the presence of low-level creatures, his n.o.ble status, and the young man's skills and extraordinary strength they always let him through. Just last night Scott asked for access, even though they wanted to reject, but it's very difficult to refuse the request of a n.o.ble. They offered to follow him but the man refused, last night growls and howls belonging to wolves were heard they were scared that Scott would be injured or even killed. After the door opened, two figures emerged

"Young master!!!" a guard cried out in elation and ran to meet him. Scott naturally knew this would happen so he already prepared a story. He claimed that he was attacked by a pack of wolves while he enjoyed the moonlight, he fled but these beasts were faster and caught up with him easily. At the last moment when he thought it was over Derik appeared and battled the wolves, successfully driving them away. Right there he declared his intentions to recruit Derik as the Lockwood family knight.

"Thank you… thank you soo much master Derik… if something bad happened to Master Scott… I don't think any of us would have been able to bear the consequences!!!" the leader of the guards said as he bowed repeatedly.

"Master Scott is too modest… I wouldn't have been able to drive those beasts away without his help" Derik replied

The news spread at an amazing speed and in less than ten hours, the whole town heard of Derik's heroic deeds. During this time john walked around with pride and everyone who recognized him took the initiative to greet him. Everyone attempted to befriend the old man, knowing that only through him could they get to Derik. If they could befriend the Lockwood family which was the number one family, their kid's futures would be set for life. According to the rumors, the relationship between Scott lockwood and Derik angus was close. They didn't know how Derik was able to befriend such a powerful figure

"Well what are you waiting for ?... Send a carriage to bring back our recruit…" The gray-haired man screamed after reading the report. His eyes glowed with admiration and respect for the recruits achievement

"I guess letting him go outside the wall was not a mistake" he muttered. Even though Lockwood's support was for Derik alone but the kid was still a member of the archery cla.s.s. The higher he soared, the more popular the archery cla.s.s would get.

"That kid will lead this cla.s.s to greater heights!!!" the gray-haired man said

In a medium-sized room, ten well-built teenagers sat on stone chairs with a stone round table at the center. A teenager of about sixteen years glanced at the report on the table and sighed.

"He only drove away a wolf pack yet these people make it seem like he defeated a dragon barehanded," he said indifferently.

"Humph… this guy is nowhere near your level Master Donald… You shouldn't worry about these flies… None of them are yet to grasp the power of any combat technique… you will easily take the spot of number one during the inter-cla.s.s compet.i.tion. Even normal bronze level adventurers cannot compare to you" a black-haired teenager said. It was obvious he was flattering

Donald shook his head repeatedly, his eyes fell on the report on the table once again

"First this recruit was able to take on a goblin warlord at close quarters… even though it doesn't seem like much to us guardian knights, but let's consider his cla.s.s… this guy is meant to be an archer. The shocking aspect about this is… after the battle with the warlord, he didn't even have a scratch on him… not many of us are capable of this… this tells you that his physical capabilities are on par with top recruits of this cla.s.s… Moreover, he can hit targets over two hundred meters effortlessly… only this shows that his archery skills are superb… and finally, the archery cla.s.s grants him access to area 10… he's allowed to practice there alone… why would a cla.s.s invest so much attention and resources into one archer… I fear that this boy may have access to some combat techniques… that's the only explanation… I don't think the Lockwood family would pick someone weak as their family knight… The archery cla.s.s must be hiding his skills from the rest of the world!!!" Donald said while playing with his green hair with his hand

The others were astonished by Donald's thoughts, but this was expected of the guardian knights number one recruit. His strength and intellect were not lacking at all. The others stared who once stared at the report with arrogance and disdain now had traces of fear in their eyes. If Donald's speculations were true and they cla.s.s have an encounter with this kid in the compet.i.tion, they may lose.
