Chapter 393: Two Greater Faceless Ones

The two members of the Shadow Wolves had their sides pierced with spike like arms. Adrian acted reflexively and started to use Blink on the two. He managed to transport the two critically wounded Shadow Wolves to their side, but it came at a cost.

[You have used the Blink skill to its utmost limits. You cannot use it for one hour due to this reason.]

The system notification made it sound grave because it really is. Adrian's main way for instinctively dodging attacks is his Blink skill. He always used this skill to escape from tricky situations that he could not evade with his speed.

"They are Greater Faceless Ones!" Adrian stated as he saw them having the same soul as the one that he encountered earlier.

The remaining Shadow Wolves immediately tended to their wounded comrades but Adrian immediately summoned Saena. He then summoned his other soulbounds for the fight except for Dodu. What really made Adrian's heart ache is the fact that the faceless ones do not give experience.

Adrian immediately went into battle mode because the Greater Faceless Ones that they are facing is not like the one he battled where they are careless. They even sprouted limbs that are not natural for a werewolf.

"They probably have souls inside them that are not of a person which is why they can sprout those limbs." Adrian commented.

"It seems that werewolf souls are volatile just like you said. That is not their faces when we saw them earlier." Lycan stated.

"Proceeding to eliminate all targets that have seen our true forms." One of the Greater Faceless Ones stated in a monotonous tone.

"Affirmative. The secret of the race is utmost priority. Moving onto eliminating the threat." The other one stated as the two Greater Faceless One started to contort their bodies.

The bodies of the Greater Faceless Ones then started to merge. They assumed their true form which is a humanoid monster made of pure flesh. The two contorted and twisted their bodies towards each other.

Alarm bells started to ring when Adrian saw this because two powerful entities merging is never a good thing. Creepysoo even told him about how Blanche and Noir fused together to become a super entity.

They did not sit by as the two entities before them fused. All of them fired off attacks at the two but it seems that it was not doing much damage as they expected.

"Do they have damage reduction when they are in the process of assuming another's identity? But that does not mean they could shapeshift anytime that they want." Adrian thought as he saw how Kanlaon's breath did less damage to Greater Faceless One they faced earlier.

The two Greater Faceless Ones then morphed to a creature of legend that is known by many.The creature had a head of a lion and the head of a goat. The first half of the body is that of a lion while the other half is that of a goat.

"It turned into a Chimaera!" Lycan stated.

"It may be a Chimaera, but it is still two Greater Faceless Ones fused together. It is also not a perfect Chimaera because it is missing the head of the snake as a tail." Adrian stated as he saw the detail of the monster.

Monster: Imperfect Chimaera (Temporary Form)

Level: 240

HP: 93% / 100%

MP: 75% / 100%

Description: An imperfect chimaera that is fused haphazardly and not made with care. The soul of monsters like this is very volatile and tend to cause rampage wherever they are.

It is not a real chimaera, but it might be a giant lion and goat monster fused together." Solstice argued but she still used the blood that she collected to forge into weapons.

Lycan though looked like he is about to pass out. The strain of transforming finally took a toll on him as he is not accustomed to the feeling yet. He is told to not engage in the battle with them as he could be more of a liability.

The imperfect chimaera then started to charge at the group with so much force that they could feel the air vibrating. This is the might of those who managed to undergo their second awakening which as of now only NPCs have the luxury of having.

Even the NPCs that they are with have yet to awaken a second time because the leader of the Shadow Wolves is only level 195. The difference of those who had their second awakening and those that have their first awakening is heaven and earth.

The difference could be overcome by numbers but not the small group that they have now. They are now in the process of either fight and try to survive or plan their escape. Adrian wants to choose the latter because he knows that they cannot fight while protecting the young werewolves.

"Buy me enough time to conjure up a portal for us to escape. We need to escape because that monster is planning to kill all of us including its own teammates." Adrian stated as he started to chant for the Dimensional Teleportation spell that could rip the fabric of space to make a portal.

"Easier said than done." Solstice answered as the conjured weapons that she created all aimed towards the eyes of the two heads. She wanted to blind the creature in order for them to have more time.

The three Shadow Wolves members did the same and tried hitting the weak spots of four legged monsters, but the creature did not even bleed. Solstice accurately hit the eyes with her blood weapons, but the eyes just repositioned on the creature's neck and shoulder.

"I barely even managed to damage it. It does not even spew blood which is a bad matchup for me. Queen of the Night!" Solstice stated and her whole body became wrapped in shadows that came from the surroundings. The blood weapons that she also wielded became even sharper than before. Her fangs and eyes became lethal.
