Chapter 163 Alliance And Feralia IV - Challenge

"Leonaaa!" Kitsune and Cynthia shouted in unison seeing the horrific scene of their queen getting bitten by a gigantic wolf.

They felt their body going cold, but soon Lydia shouted so that everyone on both sides could hear her.

"Run away! If you want to live, run away, don't try to fight it," She said and looked at Tisha and signalled her to take Nikol.

She started regretting not being able to enter the queendom, but now they had to run as fast as they can while the wolf feasted on Leona, who is still growling in pain.

Cynthia cried out seeing her best friend getting eaten, "Leona, hold on! We'll help you!"

Kitsune added, "Yeah, we won't let it get away with this!"

But as they were about to attack Fenrir, Alliance, their former enemies, ran towards them, carrying Nikol's vein ball with Tisha's help.

Lydia shouted, "We need to get out of here! Forget about her, if you don't want to die, follow us!"

Cynthia and Kitsune hesitated for a moment, torn between helping Leona and saving themselves and their race. But before they could make a decision, Fenrir did something unexpected.

He touched the ball of veins with his giant paw and looked at everyone with his sharp canine tooth coming out of his mouth and his voice had a mix of the deep masculine and soft feminine voice.

"Fear not, little ones," Fenrir said with its mouth closed showing it was coming from the inside of its head.

"I mean you no harm. In fact, I have a proposition for you."

Cynthia and Kitsune exchanged a wary glance, unsure if they should trust the wolf.

"What kind of proposition?" Kitsune asked cautiously.

Fenrir smiled, revealing his sharp teeth.

"I would like you to leave Nikol with me. I promise I will not harm him. And in return, I will let you and your friends go free. I don't want to kill my future subjects, so this is your chance,"

Cynthia and Kitsune looked at Alliance, as they waited for their answer, but seeing their faces both of them understood that things are about to get serious.

Even though Fenrir was letting them decide, he had no intention of waiting as Leviathan might catch up with him in a few seconds.

Fenrir bared his teeth in a wicked grin, sensing victory was close at hand. He knew he was so close to conquering the heavens and killing all of his enemies and his mortal enemy Artemis. He wanted all of the girls on the island alive, but right now he didn't have the luxury of waiting so, he decided to kill all of the girls that are protecting the veiny ball and eat Nikol.

But then, something strange happened as he was thinking about all those things.

Nikol began to glow, a soft purple light emanating from his body. Fenrir recoiled in surprise, his eyes widening in shock, feeling the shock of its aura. Fenrir's body reacted to it, but Apo with his control managed to suppress the urges and without waiting, he decided to quickly kill Nikol before he does something irreversible.

Lydia and Alva watched in wonder as Nikol's body was enveloped in a cocoon of light. When it faded, there stood a young man, tall and strong, with a fierce determination in his eyes. They didn't know that he wasn't able to use his power earlier but right now Nikol looked just like when he fought with the cursed duchess' army

Fenrir growled, his hackles rising. But Nikol didn't flinch. He stood tall and proud, his fists clenched at his sides.

"You've messed with the wrong body," Nikol said, his voice calm and steady but it sounded rather different to everyone who knew him.

"I only gave permission for Eldora to use my body, but I didn't think that a parasite like you will come with it," In displeasure, Nikol said and got down with his eyes looking at Fenrir like he was prey and it really showed how roles were reversed rather easily.

"Ahhhhh! I hate it, I hate it, why did a filthy god like you have to enter my body, I hate this," Nikol shouted his anger reaching the maximum level.

"Don't tell me, you're-" Before Fenrir could finish his words, Nikol suddenly jumped from his position and kicked Fenrir's face causing it to fall without even getting a chance to react.

Nikol's muscles bulged as he struggled to hold back the massive wolf before him.

With one glance, all the girls knew this was different. Unlike last time, Nikol wasn't going berserk instead he looked like a totally different person to them, by the way he talked and fought.

Fenrir's snarls echoed through the clearing, and Nikol knew he had to act fast. But as he raised his fist to strike, he heard a voice inside his head.

"What are you doing with my body? Let me take over my body."

Nikol shook his head, trying to clear his mind and he heard the same voice.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my body?" This voice belonged to none other than the original Nikol, who was overtaken by the voice he heard inside his head previously.

Fake Nikol's eyes widened in shock seeing the original one still conscious, but he had no time to ponder this new development. Fenrir was lunging at him again, and Nikol had to act fast and kill this parasite without letting it corrupt Fenrir's body.

He dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding Fenrir's jaws. But as he landed, he felt a strange sensation in his body. It was like something else was taking over, moving him with an unnatural strength.

"Little piece of shit! Stop trying to take over your body, are you trying to get us killed?" The voice or fake Nikol shouted in anger, but he had no choice but to convince the real one to stop trying to act on his own.

"Isn't this your fault? You told me to enjoy the show, and now you act like this was the world's end, who the hell are you to take over my body and order me," Pissed off Nikol shouted in anger, inside his mind.

"I won't let you take over! I will take my body back and teach you a lesson,"

The fake Nikol chuckled, its tone cold and calculating.

"You can try, but you won't win. I am a part of you, Nikol. You cannot fight me, but I will promise you this, I never meant any harm to you, you won't understand now, but I can't harm you,"

It was a bizarre scene for others, as Nikol was acting like a madman talking to himself, but then they saw the other calamity also approaching in their direction.

*Tsk

Apo inside Fenrir's body knew things were getting too ugly, he wanted to kill Nikol before Leviathan can catch him, but all of his plans went down the drain when Nikol suddenly attacked him with the familiar way of attacking giving goosebumps to Fenrir.

"Fourth apocalypse, I will let you go now, but your body is with me, I don't care whatever you do, but don't interfere with me, next time you won't survive."

Without a word, Fenrir took a deep breath and leapt into the air, soaring high above the battlefield. He knew that he was leaving Nikol behind, but he couldn't risk facing Leviathan's wrath. As he landed on the other side of the field, he turned to face his opponent once more, his eyes blazing with determination and anger.

"You may have won this round, Nikol," he growled.

"But mark my words, I will return and I will defeat you once and for all, I won't let you take over this body."

With those words, Fenrir disappeared into the distance, leaving the fake Nikol to ponder his defeat and wonder what had caused his opponent to flee so suddenly.

"Brat! Because of you, he escaped, are you happy now?" Fake Nikol questioned Nikol with a disappointed voice, but Nikol wasn't going to take his insults and beg like a little girl this time.

"Huh? My fault? You're the one who said enjoy the battle and I'm pretty sure, you're the one who let Eldora use that thing since you almost confessed it, don't blame me," Nikol said in anger and asked fake one to hand over his body.

*Tsk

Suddenly, Nikol felt his consciousness fading and his vision returned as he looked around and felt his sense of smell and touch again.

"Damn it! Answer me, who are you and why are you sealed inside my body?" Nikol questioned while all the girls came running in his direction, and Leviathan also did the same after returning to her human form.

"I won't take your power again, listen, if you want to know the truth ask it from Leviathan, she knows everything and I want you to find Fenrir before the next full moon day," The voice said and went silent without answering any of the other questions from Nikol.

"Where can I find it? You want me to find without any clues about what's happening, talk about selfish," Nikol muttered and looked at the approaching girl with a complicated gaze, and he was relived see that none of them got hurt badly and he decided to end this farce and discuss everything with the responsible parties.

For Fenrir, the battle may have been lost, but he knew that the war was far from over. He would continue to fight, to train, and to become stronger, all in the hopes of one day defeating his greatest enemy.
