《Elemental Artists》CH.12 Unwanted Encounter
Advertisement
"GRRRRR" A snarl is heard, stopping them in their tracks. Aishe's mother fired a fireball towards the direction only for it to be slashed apart by a metal claw. She fires more, some hitting the trees behind the beast illuminating for Aishe to see the wolf from earlier. A sharp grin appears on the wolf's face as if saying 'found you' frightening Aishe. His mother slowly backing away with Aishe from the wolf while launching fireballs in an attempt to ward it off. The wolf didn't care as it's body was already covered in metal, the fireballs only leaving slight burns as it prowled towards them.
"DEAR!" Aishe's father catches sight of both of them relieved to see their alive, but notices the metal wolf. Launching his other fist forward towards it. The wolf in the shadows taking its opportunity, leaps out slashing his back. Proceeding to carve into the man.
"DAD!" "HUN!" Aishe and his mother cries out. She launched fireballs towards the shadow wolf causing it to jump back. The metal wolf smashes apart the earth fist and knocks Aishe's mother aside into a tree as she was casting. A stream of blood falls from her head as she lays there. Aishe lands near his father, hoping for him to be alive.
"Dad! Dad! Dad!"
"Son....." The shadow wolf runs towards them trying to end the father's last breath.
"NO!" A force resonates in Aishe's mana heart before being expelled into the surrounding. A lava pool engulfing the shadow wolf and creating a moat around Aishe and his father.
Huffing in exasperation from the first time casting his element, Aishe looks at his father's face.
"Aishe...... I'm.......proud......of.....you....." His father's last words ring through his head as tears stream down his face.

"Dad....no..." Aishe brings his head onto his father's body as he cries out. The metal wolf not knowing subtlety growls out towards Aishe, prowling around the outskirts of the moat. Rage in Aishe's eyes as he turns towards the metal wolf. He raises his hand towards the wolf causing the lava from the moat to shoot at it. The wolf leaps out the way, but the stream burns off it's tail. Anger rising in it, from the prey fighting back. Howling to the sky loudly, then waiting, watching Aishe on the brink of passing out.
Aishe no longer having the ability to move due to the overtaxing of his element, he lays there eyes open, waiting for his life to end. Hoping, maybe that mysterious man would come save him once again.
The howling was heard by the pack. They tried to disengage but the man gave chase. Cutting down the wolves from the back. Three, four, five, six. The wolves yelping their last as they fall to the ground.
The metal wolf hears this and runs over to the pack to see the metal warrior slaughtering them. Giving another howl, the wolves at the front turned around and started summoning elements. Fire, water, and earth bolts formed in the air before flying towards the warrior. After cutting down the seventh wolf, he sees the raining elements and picks up the severed half of the wolf. Using it as a shield as he walks forward. The wolves near him weren't so lucky as they got hit with the elements in the crossfire. Two were killed, while 6 were injured. Tossing aside the used wolf body, he unfurls the wings at his back and bounds forward. Slicing wolves while he flies towards the metal wolf. Ten, eleven, twelve,.....23. A wolf erupts a wall of earth infront of the man only for him to jump into the sky before impaling the wolf into the ground. Twisting his sword in a sharp motion, confirming its death, 24. He looks dead on at the metal wolf as it growls in frustration.

8 115That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Dwarf While Trapped in a Dungeon Full of Spiders
Thousands of years ago, mankind would honor their dead and their journey to the afterlife through the process of mummification. The elaborate tombs and burial rituals marked our transition from hunter-gatherers to civilizations and empires. However, it's been over 500 years since we've sent tributes to the underworld, and now the underworld, or whatever lies beyond, has decided to send something back. Authors Note- This story is inspired by DnD, Dark Souls, Guild Wars 1, and my love of eldritch horror and dark creepy dungeons. Also completed doesn't mean end of the line. There is more Mike Sammons in the future, promise.
8 80Earth's Hydra
Earth, the planet we live on. It is a fairly mundane place to some and they wish to escape, to trade in Earth for a wonderful land full of magic and monsters where adventure awaits for the ones thirsty enough for excitement to live in danger every second of their lives. As for others, it has the potential to become more, to become a planet that births a breed or species that will explore the stars and innovates technologies that can lead to the answers of the universe and maybe even start a race that is immortal. This immortal race will forever explore the stars and create new planet shaking inventions. Some just want to live their lives to the fullest and accept what they have already, enjoying the love of family and experience what is the “modern life”. There is one thing that everyone can agree on though, Earth is home. Our Home. We have always lived in the darkness, away from the prying eyes of more advanced or dangerous species that live in the outer reaches of the boundless void that is space. We did not know this though, as for our Mother, Earth, has protected us without our knowing until we have become intelligent enough, cultivated many advanced beings, and even have the ability and will to unite if put against the corner. Now, Earth has run out of energy and can no longer protect us, her children, and it is now our turn to protect her. To protect our Home. The protection of Earth has been put into the hands of Earth's Hydra, an 8 group organization that has enough battle power for 8 other planets! ******************** The cover picture is an editted version and here is the original, all credit goes to them. https://www.rgdd-darkdesigns.com/hydra.html
