    Chapter 152 The Most Dangerous Opponent


    The ground beneath them seemed to erupt as vile, twisted creatures emerged as far


    as the eye could see, bringing with them a stench that was so overpowering a


    mult*itude of hands flew upwards to cover their faces with the masks of their attire as


    they gagged violently.


    The rotting flesh of the gargantuan beast that seemed to detach itself from the


    mountainside rippled disgustingly as it lumbered towards them, vile fluids oozing from


    the open sores and dripping down onto the ma*s*s of creatures swarming below it.

    The entire convoy seemed to freeze momentarily in pure, unadulterated terror as the


    scene that looked as though it had been ripped straight from a horror movie unfolded


    before them.


    In seconds, the Enve’s guards sprung into action. Those that couldn’t shift readied


    their weapons and offensive magick as the sound of breaking bones whilst the shifters


    changed filled the air. An eerie symphony rippled through thendscape, filled with the


    cacophony of grunts and otherworldly shrieks, punctuated by the snap of bones and


    hum of magick in the air, the only human sounds were the hastily shouted orders and


    the manicughter that seemed to spring incessantly in their ears.


    “With me!” The lead guard roared as he rushed forward, his ive glinting


    dangerously as it arced through the air in a murderous rampage.


    The guards rushed forward, engaging the a*s*sants head-on, the predatory shifters


    savaging those that dared toe within reach as bursts of magick were fired


    overhead, decimating the ranks of the creatures that swarmed them.


    The drivers scrambled down from their positions as the beasts began to panic, lunging


    at anyone that came close to them whether friend or foe. As soon as they had been


    unhooked from their burdens they charged headlong into the fray, disregarding


    everyone in front of them.


    They cleared a path effortlessly before them as they surged forward, tossing bodies


    wantonly through the air with their tusks. The unfortunate victims that were either not


    paying attention or simply weren’t fast enough to move out of their path were quickly


    trampled into a grotesque mess under the stampeding of their heavy hooves.


    The guard’s eyes flicked across to where the beasts forced their way through as heText ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    dispatched the attackers closest to him and saw that they were effectively making a


    direct path toward the gargantuan beast that lumbered its way toward them.


    He whistled to a few of the men closes and immediately they switched their focus,


    following his lead as he charged headlong down the gap in the ranks of their foes


    toward the most dangerous opponent on the field by far.


    If they could dispatch the most obvious threat on the battlefield quickly, then it was just


    a matter of finishing off the stragglers. The smaller creatures that swarmed around


    them were only an issue because of their numbers. His heart pounded loudly in his


    ears, and his breath was beginning toe in ragged bursts as they finally reached


    within striking distance and as theyunched their attack against the rotting ma*s*s,


    flesh falling in chunks and the beast rtively unbothered by the damage that they


    appeared to be doing, a deep sense of dread began to take root.


    The creature nced down at the tiny figures slicing away at his legs and seemed to


    frown as he lifted his leg and swept it sidewards, knocking 2 of the guard across the


    field, soaring above the enemy beforending in the middle of arge group and


    screaming as they were swarmed.


    The lead guard had managed to avoid the first sweep and roared in fury as he


    redoubled his efforts.


    The static of the magick flew past rapidly now, narrowly missing him as the magick


    users began to focus their efforts on bringing the beast down before them, their


    concerted efforts creatingrge holes in the body as it began to be increasingly


    irritated with their attacks, swatting at the figures as if they were flies.


    With azy swing of its gargantuan arm, the enormous monstrosity missed the guard


    with his first shot but one of the smaller creatures that had taken him by surprise had


    distracted the guard enough for the second swing to connect violently with the guard’s


    body. Sending him soaring into the air, before crashing into a broken heap on the


    floor, his body now lying motionless.


    The woman’sughter intensified from within the cage as the elite escort that had


    been provided to see them safely to their new prison where they would await their


    death sentences was slowly, but surely, whittled down until only one driver remained.


    He stood silently by the side of the cart, gripping his concealed dagger tightly as the


    gargantuan beast lumbered towards him and came to a halt, peering down at him


    curiously.


    “It f**’**g took you long enough you rotten S*hi*t…’1 he grumbled as he strolled


    casually past him, stepping over the dead that now littered the floor.


    The beast groaned forlornly as it lumbered after the tiny figure in front as they made


    their way to the cages on the cart and the driver looked back at it with a frown.


    “What? Don’t you look at me like that! You aren’t going to make me feel guilty for your


    own inept*itude at getting rid of them! If you had been quicker they wouldn’t have


    done so much damage!” The driver argued furiously shaking his fist angrily in the


    beast’s direction as it m*oa*ned miserably.


    The driver sighed heavily and ma*s*saged the bridge of his nose with his fingers in


    exasperation.


    “Fine! Goddammit… I’ll fix you up when I get back… for goodness sake… will you just


    get these open…” He grumbled as he gestured towards the sealed cages.


    The beast replied with a guttural gurgling sound and reached over him, taking hold of


    the cage with both hands and ripping the roof seal open in a matter of seconds, before


    peeling the cage open as if it were no more than an orange. The driver’s face split into


    a wide grin as a woman emerged from inside and stood peering down at him


    imperiously with an arrogant tilt of her chin.


    “Figured you’d need rescuing.” The driver gloated as the woman narrowed her eyes at


    him.


    “It took you long enough.” She snapped testily as she smoothed her luxurious robes


    down and looked around her in distaste.


    The driver roared withughter, tipping his head back as he did so.


    “Come now sister, are you not happy to see your brother?”


    “As happy as a condemned woman could be…” She answered with a bitter twist of


    her lips.


    “Pah! Ever the pessimist Narcissa!” He chuckled, ignoring her icy repletely.


    “Now, where’s my favorite niece…


    “Sobbing like the pathetic child she is. We should leave her here, Ely. Ada serves no


    purpose anymore.” Narcissa snapped as she waved her hand dismissively toward one


    of the other cages.


    Her brother chuckled darkly.


    “Oh, I don’t know about that. The master can always find a use for pretty young girls…


    you know that…”
