Chapter 18- The Adventures of Engil!... and some Tyor

~ P.O.V. Of Engil ~

Be the wolf. Become one with your inner wolf. Chanting my mantra I opened my aura coated jaws and bit deeply into the arm of a flailing ten foot monstrosity. Seeing the chance I created my purple companion jumped onto it's shell and extended a blade into it's head hole. Apparently getting a blade into it's cranium doesn't sit well with it, and it started to randomly smash into the ground. Cursing my master who gave my such a task I jump to the ground and reposition myself. This marks the fifteenth time we have repeated this process.

Then the monster starts to tremble and from the hole we've been stabbing, seven snake heads pop out covered in wounds. The fourteen eyes have a murderous glint to them. Geez I hate my work.

I started to condense my aura and clenched my teeth violently, but instead of my jaws colliding into each a sword hilt hinders them. This is precisely my treasure sword that I haven't used since I was a human. However being the genius that I am, and begging Roen a little, I figured out to materialize it.

The familiar thin 2 foot long sword rested in my wolfy jaws. Pouring my aura into the sword, two runes lit up and I slashed out at the necks of the heads. Although they were paying attention, they couldn't react to the sharp energy that flew past and instantly severed four heads. The severed stumps suddenly burst into flames and the monster's loud wail boomed through the forrest.

"Do it now!"

Shouting towards my trusted purple companion he recognized the signal that we had mastered through the power of camaraderie. Five large spikes shot themselves out from the purple wolf's body and catapulted themselves toward the monster. Two of the spikes caught the monster in the knees and which instantly broke from the collision. The two spikes passed through the joints and nailed themselves into the ground. It was simple from then on as we just wait for an opening on the thrashing beast and slowly hacked it apart.

"Whew, good job purply."

"Grrrr."

"My thoughts exactly."

It was an annoying thing really. It was equipped with a huge shell that hid it's vital points, and we only reached this point after two days of constant fighting. For some reason whenever we came across a wondering group of warriors or a trade caravan it would prioritize them over us. When I asked the all knowing Roen he said something about how they always seek 'unmarked souls'. He didn't say anything else though. As usual. Ugh I guess I have to check in with him now.

'Roen we got another one. These things seem to be getting stronger and bigger. Purply and I might die you know, don't you have anything to say to your lovable servant?'

'Don't name my phantoms.'

'Why not it fits.'

'Just shut it ugh anyways good work. I got to go Eliana is calling me.'

'WAIT WAIT WAIT JUST A TITAN'S NIPPLE OF A SECOND!!! WHO THE HELL IS ELIANA!!?!??!'

'Did you just say titan's nipple?'

'IRRELEVANT! OH MASTER OF MINE YOU BETTER NOT BE GETTING ALL HOT AND FLUSTERED WITH A GIRL WHILE I AM RISKING MY LIFE KILLING THESE MONSTERS!?!'

'I think you need some more correction, you're tone is not the kind that pleases me.'

'AS I WAS SAYING I WISH YOU THE BEST REMEMBER TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH!'

"Can you believe it purply our master is a sex fiend!"

"Grrrr."

"My thoughts exactly!"

"Haaa~ anyways where's the next one?"

On hearing Engil's words the purple wolf began to go towards the east. Engil checked the map he stored on a nap sack on his back.

'The further east we go the more frequently we run into these things. Any further and we'll reach the Thaolos Kingdom.'

"Let's go purply! The more we kill the more we can rub it in the face of Roen!"

"Grrrr."

"Sometimes I hate your comments."

~ P.O.V. Of Tyor ~

My travels have been uneventful. I miss my master. All I have to do is wrap my blood vines around the monster and let my master's phantom knight stab it till it dies. Although it is easy, there is really nothing I can do. Sometimes I just leave it all to the phantom knight, and whenever I ask if I can take the next one all he responds is with 'grrrrr'. It's nice that they can finally respond to a question, but hearing only animal noises for weeks can get on anyone's nerves. My only joy is when I report to master.

'Master, we have eliminated another one.'

'Good...'

'Is there something I can assist you with?'

'Yes actually, what is a gift for a woman who is in a bad mood.'

'Ah the new servant hmmm~ well during my time in slavery I have picked up quite a few likes and dislikes of the opposite gender as such you picked the right person to help you. Maybe a sword?'

'I see...'

'Oh, and master, '

'Yes?'

'Remember to wear protection.'

'Sometimes I hate you more than Engil.'
