Chapter 215: The Power Of Auras

Everyone laughed while Geth stored as much as he could. He motioned for the others to gather up as much of his wife's junk as they could.

"Prioritize the corpses, weapons, and Skill Cards. If you can fit the other things, please do so.

Once you're done, be quick about using your Points. We don't know if that creature will approach us up here."

Geth maxed two of his storage items and left the third half full. He hurriedly sat and leaned against a nearby wall, closing his eyes.

The awkward feeling still hadn't subsided. He took a deep breath and looked at the card that the Sub-Boss had left for him.

A large, muscular man sat beside a pure black Direwolf. The man had patches of gray fur growing from most of his skin, leaving only some of his face clear.

The Direwolf was around ten feet tall and carried an heir of royalty about it. This aura even permeated through the massive chains that were draining its life force.

The strange man sat at the wolf's head. The chains running throughout the underground Dungeon had all led to the object on which he sat.

Bloodline Aura poured up from the cylindrical object and entered through the man's pores. He breathed deeply as if the aura were some drug of which he couldn't get enough.

"Yooouuuu are stubborn, wolf. We have similar Bloodlines, just give me yooouuuurs and die already."

The shaggy man scratched at an area behind his ear and stared at the beast. The Direwolf King returned his stare defiantly.

"Ahh, noooooo matter. Your child is tagging aloooooong with one of these Humans, anyway. We'll see hooowwwww well you hold out when I'm killing him in front of yoouuuuu! Hahoowhahahoowwww!"

The man had spat the word Humans out like he was talking about mere insects. Some of the defiance dropped from the King's eyes when he heard this.

"I can't believe that yooouuur children all died to a bunch of Huuuuuumans. Disgracef-"

The man's body twitched. Something was wrong.

He looked toward the ceiling. He could vaguely sense the Humans creeping about two floors up... but there was something else.

"That's sooooo familiar..."

It went away as quickly as it had come. He waited but didn't feel anything else out of the ordinary.

The Direwolf King stared intently at the ceiling as well. Its instincts were screaming at it to get out of there.

"Anyway. As yoooouuu can see. If you give up, I'll just sap your life foooorce and leave. There's no need for your child to die."

'Doesn't mean that I won't kill it on my way out, anyway.'

"Hey! Are yooou fucking listening to me?!"

The Direwolf King seemed petrified. Even its life force was draining faster, albeit only marginally.

"Well, at least we're getting somewhere."

He closed his eyes to concentrate on absorbing the Bloodline Aura. Before he had the chance... he felt that strange power again.

"This aura..."

The peculiar sensation exploded, filling the Dungeon with a highly potent aura. The wolfman looked up in fear.

His instincts took over. Without a second thought, he fled to the exit in the back of the tunnel.

Even after leaving all of his equipment there, he never looked back.
