Chapter 165 165: Both Yet None

Vor finally transformed as his eyes started shining in the mysterious golden shine. A symbol appeared on his forehead as soon as he finished his transformation!

Razil wasn't confident enough to take Vor lightly either. Even though he didn't believe that this guy was Vor, he was still stronger than Lancaster and needed respect.

However, as soon as Vor transformed, Razil was taken aback. He could see a scar on the left arm of Vor in his transformation. The scar! He heard about the scar. It was something that Vor had. The scar, and the exact Royal Mark, and all the other characteristics... Was it a coincidence? He didn't know. But with time, he was feeling as if something wasn't right.

Despite all that, he couldn't back off either. The Kingdom was on the line! The life of all his citizens was on the line.

He also transformed, returning to his beast form.

Razil wasn't alone either. The Royal Wolves of his pack also arrived to support him in the battle, surrounding Vor from all sides. No matter how strong or weak the enemy, the wolves never took them lightly and hunted in packs!

Over fifty werewolves surrounded Vor while the others helped the citizens go to the safe place. As important as it was to kill Vor, it was also important to protect the citizens.

Vor didn't wait to be attacked. Instead, he attacked first, leaping ahead.

"It looks like you are close to your goal, My Lady," A General respectfully stated.

"I am. After everything is over, I should be able to retrieve the Eternal Crest from the castle."

"I still can't believe that Eternal Crest is real, and the Werewolves had that all this while. As soon as you get the Eternal Crest, you'll become Supreme."

"It's definitely real. Even Lord Ramiel wrote about the lost Eternal Crest. Even I had a hard time believing that Ramiun had a clue about the Eternal Crest being in the Kingdom of Wolves. Then again, he isn't an idiot to decide to wage a War against the Werewolves for small things. The moment he tried to lure the Blood Council, I knew the Werewolves had something that he wanted!"

"That idiot, he thought I'll share the Eternal Crest with him. The moment he divulged the information about what he was after and what he was planning to do to get to it, he had already lost all his usefulness."

"Why would I work with him to free Vor so I could remove all the defenses of the Werewolves when I could do it alone? I can get to the Eternal Crest before him. Even he'll have to bow to me along with everyone else!"

"He'll know what you're after. The Blood Council must already know that Vor is missing, and we did it," the General stated.

"Let them know. I know Ramiun. He won't tell them what I'm after, or he'll be in trouble as well. The Blood Council will not know where I am. At least not until I'm done."

"But Lord Ramiun will know. He must be on the way here."

"By the time he gets here, everything will be over. That's why I took this step in the middle of the night. He'll be coming here to bow before me. That'll be all! I can't wait to see the look on his face as he realizes what he lost."

It had been a long time since Elisi laughed so heartily. After centuries, something was finally happening in her life... Something big..."

Neither she nor Ramiun realized that they were doing all this for nothing. She believed there was something in the castle just because Ramiun lied to her, despite there being nothing.

As for Ramiun, he believed that the Kingdom of Wolves had Progenitor Atlan, who had the Key Fragment that he needed. He didn't know that the Progenitor was already taken by someone in secrecy. He had been too late.

Both sides believed they were going to be the ultimate victor without any bases. They were standing on the house of cards that could fall at any time.

Away from all these conflicts, Atlas was advancing toward a conflict of his own.

Ramiun had released a nightmare on the world to get to Atlan. But it was Atlas who was actually going to Atlan, all because of Lilith, who knew where he was.

Atlas still felt some pain in his body, but he could move freely. The pain didn't affect his movement anymore. On the other hand, Lancaster's foot had also healed thanks to his supernatural healing.

The two of them were ready to fight once again. Fortunately, they left their next battle after they received all the Key Fragments.

Sitting inside the carriage, Atlas looked out the window, seemingly lost in some thought. He was happy that he fought last night and learned so much, but there was also some regret in his heart.

He expected the battle to last one a few hours at best. And even then, he wanted to use as little of his strength as he could, but the battle lasted an entire night, and he was almost pulled to his limits in the battle.

Best

Strengthened under the full moon, Lancaster was no less than Razil under normal conditions. As for Razil under the full moon... That was something else entirely.

Looking at the trees that seemed to be going past them, he wondered just how much time he had lost because of the battle last night. It certainly wasn't just one night.

'Castiel, are you listening to me?' He asked in his thoughts, wondering if Castiel could still talk to him like before. Only Castiel could answer him as to how much time he lost.

Unfortunately, there was no response to his question. It was unclear if it was because Castiel couldn't hear him, or he just didn't want to get involved until it was absolutely necessary.

He had already stated that something like before wasn't going to happen again. He wasn't going to come until he absolutely had to, but the day he came, that was going to be the last day of Atlas.

That's why Atlas wanted to achieve his goals fast. He was also very close to his destination. All he needed were two key Fragments, and he knew where each of those was, which made things easier for him.

It was as if he had all the puzzle pieces now, and all he needed to do was to put the pieces together.

"We are there... Next city is where they are..." Lilith informed Atlas, glancing at the map. "I think we should walk the rest of the way. I'll also create a Shroud so Yovana can't run."
