Chapter 207

"Welp, guess I'll die."

Ivan sighed and spread his arms. Instead of being afraid, he further mocked Kitsune. He didn't run, he just waited for her attack. His eyes stared at the floating woman who was controlling the space.

"Then eat this!"

Kitsune clutched her hands, space warped and the surrounding squeezed,  everything was distorted. The only unaffected were Klein and her. However, the place around them was mashed. The trees, the Frost Giant, the road, the undead, and Ivan Smirnov, all of them were squashed together, put together to form a sphere. Physical strength won't work, the Giant tried to keep the crumpling space but it was futile. The only way to face this type of attack was to use space, a scientific term that was easy to comprehend but still had a lot of mysteries. To stop this ability, Ivan had to fight it with another space-type attack, fight fire with fire. Fortunately, Ivan's Skills centered around necromancy. 

Their blood, flesh, and bones mixed as the space grated them. Klein witnessed how the place turned scarlet, he had various emotions. 

He set his eyes to the mashed place and concluded that Kitsune was powerful. He gulped saliva and he had a pale face. He promised to himself that he would never make Kitsune mad, this experience was enough to steel his decision. He would never cheat nor look at the other women anymore!!!

The sphere stopped shrinking, except for them, no living things survived. Kitsune released her power and space returned to its normalcy, although the spot was crumpled. Klein sighed a long one, a very long breath. As always, Kitsune amazed him. Her unique ability made her exist on top of the food chain.

"Haaahhhhh… it's more frightening that she still didn't use the power she got from me…"

Klein said, with just this power, Kitsune altered the space. And the truth was this was not even her full power. Kitsune was still not using the Skill she got from Klein, remember that she and he were Kampi. The more they spent together, their Skills would evolve. 

Klein had a distasteful feeling, he was the man, yet he was protected. His fiance was far stronger, how could he face his parents and grandparents if he couldn't protect his woman? He was pathetic. His expression steel as he firmed his determination.  He knew that he couldn't stand equally with her if he won't accept the pact with Fenrir.

"Darling, are you okay?"

Kitsune looked at him, she didn't even sweat despite casting a powerful Skill. Klein wanted to nod but her complexion struck him negatively. 

"Tch…"

"Darling? Why are you angry, d- did I hurt you?! I- I'm sorry if I-"

Klein caught her lips and her time stopped, his arms curled around her, she felt a tingling sensation. He kissed her. Klein released her lips, Kitsune blushed and didn't know what to say.

"Listen here woman, you are mine. You can't fight strong people, I'll be the one to fight them, I am the man of this family. Do you understand?"

"Un."

Klein's fierce eyes impaled her heart and she did nothing but nod. Her face flushed red in surprise and satisfied about what Klein did. She fanned her fuming face, her lips curled up.

"It's good that you know. Now, do you have the intention of following him or not? I think that Ivan used something to escape the attack, I recognized that his presence appeared kilometers away here."

Klein looked in the direction where Ivan's presence resided, the Russian man successfully escaped. After this, Klein marked Ivan as an enemy. He witnessed how inhuman he was. If he met him again, he won't hesitate to call his wolves to chew him alive. 

"No, I'm fine staying here with you."

Kitsune shook her head, she would choose to spend her time with Klein rather than hunting a disgusting man. Besides, she could just inform the higher-ups of the Beastmen about this matter. She was confident that the Elders would act after they learned this. 

"If I follow him, perhaps he will use that Skill to escape again."

She added. 

Klein got her point, Ivan Smirnov had a bunch of enemies, and most of them tried to kill him but Ivan always survived. It seemed like he had an Item or Skill that could teleport him. 

"U- um…"

Kitsune played with her fingers, she kept glancing at Klein and her intention was obvious. She was blushing and her lips opened seductively as they were glistened by Klein.

"Um, can you kiss me again, please?"

Her tails wagged.

Klein who was looking around the bloodied place twitched, he saw her lips slowly approaching his. Klein understood that this time, it would be a long ride.

……

…

The Methuselahs filled the Rio and even the neighboring cities were attacked. Most of the buildings crumbled as the Methuselahs continued with their mission. 

The Hunters around Rio tried to contain them but they still failed, Methuselahs kept coming out of the rift. No matter how much they eliminate the enemies, another one would show up. On top of that, the enemies were smart. They had intelligence, the most terrible match-up. 

And then, another problem had risen too, the sun was going down. Darkness started to cover the sky. With this, the Methuselahs could freely invade Brazil without being afraid of the sun, how fortunate it was for them. 

The light which the sun represented gradually disappeared and the night started its reigning. 

The Methuselahs had passive Skill, whenever they were in the dark, not touched by the sun, their powers increased, which meant more headache for the Hunters. 

………

……

…

"Here it comes…"

Princess Belle look at the rift, she knew what was coming. The vision she saw would replicate here at this very moment. This was the time where Mikael awakened the hidden existence inside him. The creature who would help him to control his fourth Skill. 

"I believe in you."

She held the ruby with utmost trust at Mikael. If things went bad, Princess Belle would make it right, this was her job. She knew that multiple possibilities would happen and she must put the timeline on the right path. 

"Gggggrrrrrrraaaaaaaooooo!!!!"

Roaring reverberated and the city trembled just by the sound it created. The rift expanded and a silhouette started going out, the creature looked upon them. The monster had a face of a man yet its body was a lion. 

The Manticore was released. The monster licked its lips as he looked at the people. He had plenty to eat this time, how lucky. His saliva flowed down, the monster screeched and descended on the city. 

The Manticore towered 50 meters. As it landed, the ground cracked and dust flew. The Manticore moved his head left and right, he wanted to eat! 

Fortunately for him, a group of Hunters and Methuselahs was fighting close to his landing place. He rushed at them like a dog excited to see its master. 

"Ggaaaoooorrr!"

The Manticore stared at them and demise went upon the Hunters and Methuselahs that his eyes set on. They started to feel that their lives were sucked away from their bodies. Without even a second, they died. Their souls manifested and went to the Manticore, the monster opened its mouth and ate them. The Manticore didn't eat flesh, his food was soul. 

And the more souls he ate, the bigger and stronger he got. The Manticore felt that his body was enlarging, but this was not enough, his hunger must meet satiation. He growled and looked at the place but the buildings blocked his vision. The Manticore cried and destroyed the buildings around him.
