Spirit Taming

Chapter 769: Earth And Metal

When the blood moon werewolf attempted to slash in to Brad with its claws, the blood moon werewolf felt something it had never encountered since the day it had learned to create the perfect version of itself.

Pain.

The pain it had experienced through fusing with a beast and the pain it felt now were totally different. The pain it had felt through its entire process was just the method of becoming as he should be. That insanity made the pain seem as if it was just a necessary step.

Byt the stations of one clawed hand on the dark black and red streaked armor that the possessed armaments and just become… that was real pain. The pain of being weaker. The pain of not being able to fight the opponent in front of him. The pain of losing his position of alpha for the werewolf minions he had created through experimentation.

With that feeling came a deeper rage that he had not felt before. It pushed the berserk state further than it had been. Even more blood energy was wasted while the dark energy that the blood moon werewolf possessed began to flare up even more. These were clashing due to the forced nature of this battle.

Brad slammed the shield forward knocking the blood moon werewolf much further away. This distance gabe Brad the room to take a battle stance. His intimidating aura was one that caused the nearby werewolf minions to feel proper fear. The fear of a true predator hunting.

The soldiers fighting nearby felt it too. But instead of fear they felt an anchor had just locked them in to battle. Become their impenetrable wall against the greatest threat to them. They felt that their blood had started to flow with more vigor than ever before.

With the space Brad created, he felt the natural lead that had come over him. The fighting of his allies and the fight he was taking on to crush enemy well beyond evil. As such, he channeled the metal and blood energy in to the black iron shield and sword.

When he slammed them together, a pulse of blood energy rang out boosting his allies' strength. Resonating with them in the same way he was also resonating with his partner on a perfect level.

Feeling pressure, the blood moon werewolf lost the last of its mentality. The attempted words and slurs toward an enemy became snarls and vicious growls. It had forsaken the last of its humanity by pushing itself too far. The cracking of this so called perfect form being exasperated right in front of Brad.

He didn't need a second to consider how to attack, in a swift leap, Brad showed off the strength he had built. The power in his muscles that he had been training with every single weight on his body of every single day. He could move just as fast as any normal person not being weighed down at all.

His partner was heavy, but to him, it was light as a feather. With a single swing of the sword, the metal energy vibrated again while slashing through the tough fur. A single arm fell to the ground before the blood moon werewolf lashed out with the broken claws on the other hand.

It was trying to cut through Brad's partner as much as it could, but every attack was a failed. Even as it opened its maw, the blood moon werewolf only shattered its fangs on the armor protecting brad.

"You harmed my partner and Myself with your first attack. Now I will erase you from this world." A vicious escalation of energy surrounded Brad and he used the shield to hold the blood moon werewolf in place. It tried to bite, kick, and claw, but all it could do was harm itself. When it finally stopped, Brad had stabbed the black iron sword right through its heart.

With the loss of their leader, the werewolf minions began to go wild. They were attacking one another and the soldiers. They had been held in to their orders by the presence of the more powerful werewolf. Without it, they were not able to properly move at all. They were just wild monsters without enough intelligence to act on their own properly.

Nothing that these werewolf minions could do would allow them to survive though. The fight had already been decided the moment that Brad had used his full strength and trump card against the blood moon werewolf. The single moment had shown the true depth that came with always working together with his partner.

Their singular will had overcome a so called perfect being that the blood moon cultists strived for.

With the usage of so much energy, Brad took to the rear of the battle. He could sense that he and his partner would need a lot more rest now, but he had made a pathway for his group to push ahead. That was all he needed to do. Make sure that they got to where they needed to be to end this all.

Clark had caught a single glance of the fight as it had begun. Right before he and the others had pushed down the stairs to the sixth floor of the dungeon and toward the unknown where the other cultists were trying to gain some sort of power.

'Black iron Blood knight- legendary

This is only possible due to the complete unification of the possessed armaments and the will of their tamer. As they trained together, every beat of the tamer's heart along with every resonance with the metal energy became a new string in their bond. When the blood energy radiated together with it, they became closer than any spirit beast and tamer of their kind had before.

Their formation caused a change in the full potential of the possessed armaments. Instead of progressing toward a full armor or alternative form of possessed armaments, a truly unique form was taken on that would be impossible to achieve otherwise.

All the metal and energy condensed to allow for a proper full form. The black iron becoming the core for the metal energy and the blood energy connecting the pair. This is only possible when the berserk state can be completely overcome through powerful unity and will.

This form will extremely boost physical ability. The energy usage is very high, but for the time being, the force able to be used is much greater than what many people would be capable of. Only through harsh training can it be possible to survive using the energies to such a high degree…'

There were plenty more in detail explanations of how the metal had expanded and taken shape due to the long term consumption of unique metals. How the blood energy had been condensed within Brad through the constant contact with his partner. But that was all more for Clark to record later.

He was proud that Brad had learned to control his focus. Grow his abilities through the desire to become stronger and define those around him. It spoke volumes of who Brad was and how far he was willing to go. Calling him as guardian would be an understatement for what Brad would become in the future for the universal alliance.

So many surrounding soldiers were looking at him in awe. His strength was enough to tell them that they had made the right decision in allying with them. That they would be defended by the humans within the alliance. That things would be set right.

He couldn't think about these things too much. He had to take what he could and run with it. He couldn't allow pride to cloud his vision when he could feel the dangers ahead.

The sixth floor meant that there would be larger beasts to fight. It also meant that the blood moon cultists would have to fight those beasts too. All Clark's group had to do was avoid letting them sue those beasts to make monsters.

It was a surety that there were more captives being held prisoner with the cultists right now. That they would be suing them as their experiments right now if the group did not catch up. They had to ensure that the cultists did not have the time and chances to do so.

"Clark, what else can you feel ahead?" Ella and Ralph looked ahead. They could sense something a little more than what he could.

"It's metal and earth energy. We can both feel one of those. It's stronger too." Ralph and Ella were sensing the same beast but with a combined energy. Metal and earth together would be a tougher opponent. Stronger defenses.

"Then can you both handle it together? That would let you both understand the dangers better than us. Isa isn't fully able to handle the earth energy with the metal combined." Clark knew that Isa would be focused on other fights if there were more beasts around.

'We will handle it. Ralph can act as a main defender while I fight from range." They moved forward with Ralph guarding Ella. they would need to fight this opponent quickly so that they did not have to waste more time.
