The Atrocious Werewolf Prince

Chapter 112 Scaled Pool



"Go."

With a wave of his hand, he and Salom Uqually flew forward.

"Their numbers have increased?"

Ezra spread out his spiritual senses in the fog, pouring all his energy into scouting. Soon after, his expression changed slightly. He could faintly feel that the spiritual energy undulations to their rear had increased.

Moreover, the new one was extremely strong, indicating that it did not belong to a weakling.

Baron's face also changed slightly, clenching his jaw as he said, "Looks like they plan to surround us."

Ezra nodded slightly. A brief moment later, the expression in his eyes suddenly turned solemn as he thrust the short sword Efsa in his hand. The sword transformed into a bluish smoke as it shot towards a certain spot in the fog.

~SWWOOSH~

A tree burst apart, revealing the figure behind it.

Ezra and Baron's gazes shot over, only to be stunned. The figure's clothes were in tatters, only his armour pieces and gauntlets left intact, making him look rather miserable. But Ezra knew who he was.

"Argus?" Ezra was surprised. "You were hiding here?"

When the former saw the latter, he quickly bend his knee, his body was aching but he knelt and greeted. "You Majesty, I followed the compass... I am so happy that you are well. I apologise to show this miserable side of mine."

A thought suddenly struck Baron as he gazed upon Argus's injured face. "You were attacked by Victor Brownmane?"

Baron remembered the name Argus, it was shown on the tablet.

Argus Woska was silent for a moment before he shook his head.

"No, I attacked him first."

"You couldn't beat your opponent?" Ezra asked without any expression.

Argus lowered his head as he said, "Your majesty, I do not fear the one called Victor, but there were many other individuals hidden nearby who had locked onto me, causing me to split my attention while not daring to use my full power. Hence how he found an opening."

Baron was stunned. "So despicable!" He hatefully said, "Why are these people fighting without any dignity?"

Ezra Zephyr calmly answered, "Because only those on our level can pose a threat to them. They are unified, while you guys are scattered. Breaking all of you one by one will naturally lower the morale of all the other geniuses.

Taking away their courage such that they will no longer be able to vie for the gifts and blessings of the Spirity Bailiwick. Be it the upper realm or Brownmane empire they attack in groups when they encounter a strong opponent, not because they are afraid of 1 on 1 fight but because this method is more efficient, the law of jungle is applied here."

Argus coughed weakly twice, before asking "Your majesty, what should we do now?"

"We will make them remember that in a jungle, the most dangerous pack hunters are hungry wolves," Ezra said, there was no smile on his face, just sheer anger.

"Come here, even though I am not as good in healing as her highness but I am still an elf." Said Baron as he began to heal Argus with light magic.

"Thank you. I will remember this debt." Said Argus with some difficulty. He was clearly somewhat conflicted and embarrassed.

After all, he had attacked Victor Brownmane to avenge but now ended up in such a pathetic state.

Ezra nonchalantly waved his hand as he pondered. "Victor and Salom have the same nature, if they meet it is more likely that they'll join hands. I need to make a platform for the biggest event of Spirity Bailiwick"

Bloodfang Kingdom martial masters were his own force and those who have been targeted by the upper realm people and other oppressors will naturally stand against them.

It would have been nice if things were simple, Ezra could have just killed every trouble but there were many eyes and unknown powers. If anyone recognises the obscure power of the prince, he'll have to face a lot of trouble or even worse... a quick death.

"What do we do now? Where do we go? They have the numbers superiority, apart from Salom and the upper realm, you have also made Brownmane and Stripe Beast, two big empires your enemies. We will surely be wiped out if we faced them." There was a bitter look on Baron's face.

Ezra pondered in silence for a few moments, his eyes flickering in thought. A short while later, he pointed towards the deepest depths of the fog.

"You said before that there are quite a number of 2nd tier Martial Animals, and even a mysterious Martial Animal leader at the deepest part of the mountain range where the scaled pool is?"

"Yes."

"Then that's where we'll be heading... only by stirring up some chaos will we be able to lose them."

Fog pervaded the mountains as an icy shadow swept past.

Ezra was seated on Ice Sparrow's back, his Spirit senses spreading outwards. Although the fog could distort one's sense of direction, Ezra was just barely able to guide them through his powerful senses.

"To the left." Uttered the prince.

The bird immediately shook its wings, turning directions.

"We've already reached the depths of the mountain range." Ezra glanced to his rear, his gaze frosty as he continued, "They're still closely following us. How patient."

He could detect four presences some distance behind, tailing them like shadows. It was clear that Salom and Rolo's gang did not intend to give up so easily.

Baron said in a low voice, "What do we do now? Any deeper and we will begin to encounter 2nd tier Martial Animals."

Ezra's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared into the depths of the fog, faintly seeing a shimmer of gold, while he also began to sense several powerful spiritual energy ripples. They clearly nearing the scaled pool.

The spiritual energy ripples he had sensed likely belonged to the martial animals protecting the pool.

Ezra decisively declared, "Go in!"

Baron gritted his teeth and patted the bird. With a loud cry, its speed rose sharply. A short few minutes later, Ezra and the group discovered that they had exited the fog.

Behind the fog lay an ancient mountain forest where numerous towering trees proudly stood.

~AAWWOOOOOOO~

Brief moments after Ezra and gang charged out from the fog, a loud howl was suddenly heard.

"Keep going" cried the prince.

Two groups, one fleeing, and one chasing, gaving rise to a huge disturbance in the depths of the mountain range.

They crossed numerous mountains in a short few minutes. Golden light soon blossomed before their eyes, only for them to see a giant mountain standing some distance to their front. The top of the mountain was akin to a scaled turtle shell, with only endless gold light spread from its energy scales, dazzling like a pool of gold.

"The scaled pool!" Argus's eyes glowed as he stared at the mountaintop.

Behind them, Rolo Aur, Salom Uqually and the rest closely followed, desire surfacing in their eyes as their gazes fell upon the resplendent scaled pool.

"It seems that the scaled pool blessings are fated to be ours." Salom laughed as he rubbed his hands together. "I have to thank you for leading the way."

~ROOAAAR~

However, a myriad of roars suddenly rang out across the area the moment Salom's laughter faded. Next, the pupils of everyone on both sides shrank when they saw enormous martial animal after martial animal appeared on the mountain top, their eyes rapidly locking onto the humans.

Over a dozen 2nd tier Martial Animals!

This line-up made the expressions of both parties change.

However, it was still not over. The titanic beasts prostrated themselves, their heads lowered as if they were bowing.

Baron's expression did not look too good either as he said, "Rumor speaks of a mysterious martial animal leader at the scaled pool to whom numerous 2nd tier martial animals have yielded."

Ezra's brows tightly knitted together. It seems that the rumours were true. This was really unlucky for them.

"If things become worse, we'll quickly escape amidst the chaos." Said Ezra Zephyr in a soft voice.

Baron and Argus nodded. Even Baron was no longer thinking about the scaled pool now.

Some distance behind them, Rolo Aur and Salom Uqually's expressions turned grave. They could faintly feel alarmingly powerful undulations in the depths of the golden light.

Under their guarded gazes, a low howl filled with dignity rang out from the top of the giant mountain, causing every Martial Animal on the mountain to tremble.

A figure slowly emerged from within the golden light. In the end, the figure stepped out, appearing in everyone's sight.

"Huh?"

Everyone was stunned the moment the figure revealed itself because the thing that had appeared was no behemoth, but a crimson-coloured little cub-like creature.

The little martial animal yawned, its beady eyes disdainfully looking towards the gathered crowd.

Everyone blankly watched this scene. Moments later, they were unable to stop themselves from vigorously rubbing their eyes before very carefully looking again as their expressions turned extremely spectacular.

Argus asked in a hesitant voice, "Your majesty... are my eyes deceiving me? Why does that little creature look almost exactly like Skoll?"

Ezra was silent. In the end, he lightly nodded his head.

"Your eyes aren't wrong! This little bastard has been enjoying his time as a king here while we were outside desperately fighting for our lives!"
