《New Path》Chapter 24 - New encounter
Advertisement
We were all frozen seeing this scene, we never thought even with the world change that we will see a man being eaten alive while he slowly lost his life but we didn't have the time to figure out how to react, that the two beasts on the floor, seeing new prey entering the alley, have stopped eating the poor the man making him gasp his last breath, while the two beasts stood up.
With blood and some flesh still between their fangs, now that they were standing we could fully saw their body, muscular body with sharps claws at their fingertips and the same with their legs when they started to advance slowly toward us while making guttural sound trying to warn or just threaten us they continued to advance, and due to their intimidating stature coupled with them being almost 2 meter tall make them looks like giants.
But I quickly gathered myself placing myself to be able to defend and attack at the same time, the others also started to understand the situation we were in and prepared themself too, the two humanoid wolves or dog saying that the preys that were frozen just a second wanted to fight them make them feel underestimate they maybe were weaker compared to the other beasts that came with them in this baby world but to think some low-level human would dare to fight them make them surprise and angry wanting to kill those prey quickly and continue to grow stronger it was their chance and they wouldn't let it go so easily.
The two beasts looked at each other making a sign with their head while growling at each other while the group of Chris looked at them not sure what to do, but before they could do something the two beasts that were ignoring them, suddenly charged them and the distance being so close they were taken by surprise but still instinctively pushed themself back using all the power they had in their legs, Eillen takin her son in her arm to protect him was dragged by Philip who took them while he retreated from the two beasts.
The two humanoid dogs chased after them but Chris who was standing and didn't retreat blocked them slashing in front of them making them dodge to the side.
" I will try to distract them you guys better be quick and kill them "
I said to them I already know that they were too strong to fight them alone they should be of level 5 and 6, and just now I could block them just because I know that they were attacking the others but now they changed their target for me.
Making me tense I could felt my body becoming heavier and it was because of the strong energy that they now focused on me, I didn't know how they could use outside so easily, it seemed the more we became strong we can even use our energy to suppress other enemies.
And the other sawing him stopping the humanoid dogs gathered with Edward and Lisa in front and hector staying behind in case they can pass the two in front.
And my bloodline feeling that I was slowly being suppressed used his energy, I could feel a small amount of wave of energy emitted by my bloodline that was absorbed by my energy and strengthened the energy in my body, after all the new fused energy coursed all my body the pressure loosened a little but I still hard time to support it.
The two humanoid dogs after dodging Chris's attack used the wall of the buildings to propelled themself toward him, letting a hole in the walls with some bricks flying in the alley.

All that happening fast I only saw two figures coming at me from two sides when my sense of danger kicked and I instinctively stepped back but was still not fast enough and got three on my shoulders from each side, I pushed myself toward the groups almost touching Edward shield at the end of the entrance of the alley, the two beats only saw that before they could finish this prey he was able to flee making them strike the ground letting a small hole with cracks around and dust raising from the power of their strike their claws with some blood drops falling on the floor.
" I thought you said you will distract them "
He said with a smile on his lips but didn't let his eyes go of the two strange beasts that were chasing after Chris but the dust around covering them but they were still able to distinguish their form.
" Ahahahaha very funny I am doing my best I almost got killed call john and claire, Lisa you stay with him support us from behind they seems to be at level 5 or 6 so be careful "
and claire and john hearing me calling them went in front and asked me what to do, the two beasts were once again charging us but we were only able to follow their shadow.
" claire do you think you can use your talent on them even if they are moving so fast "
I said quickly to claire my heart racing from the pressure of them almost near us.
- " No I can't, I barely can concentrate my attack so I need the target to not move otherwise I will miss him "
claire shakes her head feeling that even if she had a strong ability if she isn't fast enough it's completely useless.
" ok don't worry they are fast and strong but we outnumber them we have our chance"
and before I could finish the sentences I felt my sense of danger warning me and heard a loud explosion coming from the alley followed by Sarah ice cone passing just an each above my head and landed one of the dogs that somehow was so fast that even if my sense of danger warned I couldn't move in time, the others one was stopped by Emily arrow making him retreat and let me breathe.
" Thank Sarah "
I wiped the sweat on my forehead, my body shivering from the fact that I was almost killed now I shouted behind thanking Sarah but kept my eyes on them not wanting to face the same situation twice.
" John do as you feel protect us if it became too dangerous, claire wait for a chance to kill him "
I said to them before I felt my sense warning me, I Took claire in my arm and pushed john to the side with my legs before once again the humanoid dog attacked me but this time his friend was following being him.
" Don't let me go, when I stand up use your talent one of them is coming and should be in front of us "
I told claire which nodded tightening her hands around my neck, and I stood she turned one of her hands toward the incoming humanoid dog, I could feel the energy gathering in her hand followed by the same energy sword appearing and launched it at the humanoid dog.
The humanoid dog wasn't prepared for the sudden attack and tried to dodge but being so close he didn't have the time and took it directly on his chest and only felt a strong headache after the attack energy followed by his energy rampaging his inside destroying his vein and organ.

They saw the humanoid dog that was about to attack them fall on the floor, with blood flowing from his mouth.
Awooooooooooo!!!
The humanoid dog seeing his companions dying just like that looked at Claire that now was slowly falling unconscious but forced herself to stay awake, howled at us, and charged us but before he could get there Lisa and Edward in front of him attacked him at the same aiming his right and left shoulder, but the humanoid dog was faster and turned ready to kill those puny humans that dared challenge him.
Edward and Lisa didn't have the time to react and only saw his blurred arm attacking them, and they quickly placed their shield to protect them and felt a huge power crushing them to the ground, they tried to resist it but the strength behind the blow was too strong and they could only greet their teeth and hope they wouldn't be seriously injured and were sent behind the others colliding with hector and Alex saving them of serious injury.
But the humanoid dog didn't stop there and chased after them ready to finish them, but Emily and Sarah seeing him launched two consecutive attacks of energy arrow and ice cone landing on him, but it didn't harm him at all, the arrows piercing only him for one second before it disappears in thin air, and the ice cones were only able to stop his race for a second.
But hector didn't stay there doing anything and attacked him slashing with all his power while having his shield raised to protect himself, and seeing his attack he dodged to the side and unexpectedly the sword of hector cut his ear even if there was a small resistance at the end, the right ear of the humanoid dog was cut making him let out a loud howl that reverberated in the street and maybe the neighborhood.
" Damn we need to finish him quickly and get out of here "
I said to john that was now next to me I gave him claire who was half-conscious and run toward the humanoid dog that was still in pain and shout to Lisa and Edward.
" you two it's not the time to think what to do come with me, Alex you go with john and regroup with Sarah group "
I was so pressed because I could feel my sense of danger crying that I should leave this place but I don't think he will let us go so easily.
hearing me they both followed me and we were almost near him when we saw him jump at hector and bite his arm with the shield and throw him at us,
" NOOOOOO!! you son of..."
my heartbeat beating faster, the energy coursing faster I charged at him I could feel my body being lighter and despite how fast I ran now, I was able to dodge the body of hector while Lisa and Edward seemed prepared to catch him.
I turned to look at the humanoid dog I could feel the energy around him being stronger each step he took toward me chasing for hector.
At this time my brain was thinking about how to deal with but I instinctively used all the movement of short sword mastery balancing my body in the right position to use all my strength and when he was about to reach me, the time that seemed to slow down came back to normal.
I stepped aside my body aligning with him I slashed at his arm that was attacking me but I was only able to deviate his strike my arm numb was pushed back from the power in it, I didn't stop my attack turning my body and aimed for his neck this time and he was not prepared for the quick change in my movement but my sword only got stuck on his neck I could the energy gathering at this making it harder for me to cut so I took out my sword making blood spurt and fall on me.
He was about to attack me but the blood loss at his neck seemed more serious than I thought it was his movement stopped for a moment and placed one of his hand at his neck trying to stop his blood loss, his red eyes looked at me even with his blood slowly making him lose his strength he seemed determined to finish me.
He charged at me and with his remaining hand slashed at my chest and the distance between us being so close I wasn't able to fully dodge his attack piercing my skin but I pushed myself on the ground and rolled to the side, and before he could follow me Lisa and Edward were here attacked him aiming his neck and arm this time he wasn't enough fast his arm was cut letting only a small wound but his neck was gashed again and it seemed the power behind that slash at his neck was enough strong to make him lose balance and fall on the ground head first.
Before he could stand up Lisa and Edward pierced his chest at the place where should be his heart but wasn't able to enter completely, gritting their teeth they used all their strength but before they could kill him, he attacked them using his hands injuring their harm, even if the blow wasn't strong enough to hurt them they were still hurt from the fall on the floor.
I stood up, my chest burning from the wound that but I endured the pain and slashed at his neck still bleeding and this time my sword didn't meet any resistance used all the strength left I had, to separate his head from his body and falling on the floor his eyes losing life quickly, followed by blood raining on the street staining the floor, the smell of blood filling the air.
Congratulations you killed a foreign level 5 mutant dog and gained 320 energy point
I sat down to catch my breath my heart still beating fast I let out a sigh, I looked at the others they looked at me not sure what to say only happy to finally kill those strange humanoids dogs.
I took this time to look at the prompt, and I saw it was indeed a level 5 beast, and with the amount of energy point I earned, I got enough for level up and maybe there would be some left for the new paths I can get later.
but our small time to catch our breath was interrupted by screams of animals that were getting closer toward us was getting closer, we weren't healed by Sarah but we didn't have time for it.
I stood up and using my sword pierced his stomach it was hard to believe that even after dying his hide was still hard to skin, but after I pulled some strength using my energy it was easier I already know instinctively where was his energy core entering half of my arm I took out an energy core of the size of my hand I was surprised but when I heard the howl getting closer I quickly took the other one in the last foreign mutant dog.
Afterward, I came quickly to see how was going Lisa she seemed fine
" Can you run "
I asked her, I saw that her legs were bleeding I took one of my spare clothes in my bag and tied it around her injured leg.
" ahhhhh are you crazy it hurts"
she said gritting her teeth looking at me
" you have suffered more serious injury than this one with the last fight and it's this little wound who make you cry, endure it we need to run now "
She knows that too she could hear their scream, and nodded, grabbed his shoulder, and they started to run distancing ourselves from the corpse of the mutant dogs.
Edward was helped by Alex to run, hector in front of the girls, and john with claire still unconscious was just next to me.
After we were about to come out of the street I turned my head to look at what type of beasts was coming, we were a little far but I could still see around twenty maybe more.
It was a mixed group of different evolved beasts going from some birds to boars and rats not that many dogs but more insectoid as big as a level 1 common dog.
And now they were all fighting for the corpse of the mutant dogs, but it seemed even if we distance quite a bit they still noticed us and started to chase after us.
