47 Chapter 47: Meeting the enemy 1

Derik frowned slightly when he heard what Scott said, he failed to understand where this guy was getting this much courage from

[Could it be Francis?... No! that's not it… there has to be something else] Derik thought…

Taking a few steps back, he glanced at the faces of every member of the Lockwood family over and over again for a few seconds, his eyes narrowed as he pondered on the possibilities

"Bastards!!!!" Derik growled

His bright blue eyes widened in shock as realization dawned on him! How could have been so naïve and dumb! How did he forget such an important and indispensable factor which all warriors depended on?

Combat Techniques!!!

If those level 12 stone trolls could perform a few combat techniques, what stops these werewolves from having one, or two or even dozens! If his suspicion is correct, depending on the level of these techniques, their strength can grow by leaps and bounds

"If we all mastered these techniques… wouldn't that increase our chances of victory?" Derik asked. His body shivered due to anger and claws slowly began sprouting on his fingers. The members of the Lockwood family only stared at him calmly, while Rolan and Lucas wore mocking smiles, Barry was slightly worried that this kid will lose control and use magic, blowing the plan which took days to implement!

"Calm down kiddo…" Scott laughed "These techniques are unique to the Lockwood family… you may be the only staff in this castle who bares the gift but that doesn't make you a Lockwood… as far as I can remember your name is Derik Angus… Family tradition must be respected" Scott explained with a casual smile on his face. This smile irritated Derik the most, he was about to approach this man with hostile intentions but then he felt someone's palm on his shoulder. Quickly turning to find out who it was, he saw Francis staring at him. The white-haired nature magician shook his head, silently telling Derik not to make this mistake. He could understand the reason for the boy's anger, combat techniques are very important in such a situation, these techniques could save this kids life, yet this family chose to keep it to themselves. Even if it's a family tradition that only members of the family are allowed to learn these techniques, why throw this fact at the boys face this way? Clearly, this is a ploy to shatter the boy's pride and make him feel irrelevant

"They aren't worth it," Francis said with a gentle smile. He then pulled out a talisman from his pocket and handed it over to Derik "Even though you're suppressing your aura right now, I can still feel it and I'm sure those bloodsuckers will be able to… this will completely hide it and suppress that power, this way you can fully focus on surviving tonight… Go get ready… the shows about to get started" He said

Derik only nodded and took the talisman, he shifted his gaze to the Lockwood's once again, instantly his eyes turned black and his blue iris burned bright. From these demonic eyes, murderous intentions poured out only for a second!

"Aaaaah!!!" Lucas and Rolan screamed in fear and shuddered involuntarily. Even then Scott and Barry stood almost unfazed by this display of power by Derik but a little shaken. Francis simply smiled, impressed by the boy's control and tactful combination of the werewolf power and his forbidden magic. This is actually the first time anyone in this room has witnessed this form of Derik's power

"Impressive… nice one kid!... now go" Francis laughed. Derik only smiled at him in response and walked out of the room.

Instantly the smile on Francis' face turned to disgust and anger as he turned his attention to the Lockwood's in the room

"Is this necessary… making an enemy out of someone you proclaimed to be your family knight? Considering his magic rating and the little display of power we've seen tonight, I believe you have made a grave mistake tonight… which your family will surely regret in future" Francis said. Scott laughed and replied

"That power is the exact reason why this is necessary… We need to remind him who's in charge… He needs to know I'm the alpha of this pack and he's just an Omega… the title of alpha of this pack must remain with me or my siblings… members of this great family"

Francis laughed and took a few steps forward

"Self-preservation! This feeling has led great men to the grave… Fear of the unknown… you're yet to know if this kid is a threat yet you're already trying to subdue him… Hahahahaha!!! Scott Lockwood… you're courting death!!!" Francis said. At this point the usual smile on Scott's face vanished, his eyes narrowed and remained focused on Francis

"Are you threatening me? Nature mage, where is your loyalty?.... Don't forget who you serve!!!!" Scott growled

"Humph! I serve the human race… Don't be fooled young wolf! The only reason I work with the Lockwood family is because of the fact it has managed to keep the peace in this little town and has driven away so many supernatural forces during the time of your father, Terry Lockwood! But should you all stop to follow this path your father has set before you… I will remove you all… permanently!!" Francis said. Even though these were just words, the other members of the Lockwood family were shaken by this man's proclamation. His black hair stood up and his eyes turned blood red, burning bright in the dark room. Taking a few steps towards Francis, Scott smiled revealing his fangs and he repeated the question he asked initially

"Are you threatening me?"

This time he said those words slowly, smiling in response, Francis green iris glowed as he took a few steps forward as well

"It's not a threat… This is a promise" Francis replied with a calm smile on his face. Turning his attention to the others in the room he spoke again

"Get ready… this is going to be a long night… make sure everything is in place… no mistakes… no errors" after saying these words the nature mage vanished

"That man…" Scott said with a smile on his face. He returned to Barry's side only to see the elder of the salvor family staring at their direction with a spooky and sinister smile on his face. It was already clear this man could see them, this terrified all the members of the Lockwood family except for Scott.

[Don't tell me his vision is this good] they thought

"This old man will be hard to deal with…" Scott said with a bitter smile on his face. The others simply nodded in agreement
