ROAARR!!

​The battlefield shook.

​From deep within the horde, three massive figures walked forward, the surrounding wolves parting instinctively at their presence. These were different; they were larger, denser, and their auras were enough to distort the air around them.

​Origin Realm

​The top dogs had finally arrived; their fur was darker, almost black. Thick veins pulsing beneath their tough hide. Each step they took shook the ground, their eyes locked firmly upon a tall figure in the middle of the battlefield.

​All the wolves fell silent. Seeing this, Rahu halted.

​His scythe rested loosely in his hand as he turned, purple light ripping faintly along the rusted edges of the weapon.

​"Heh, so you finally decided to step out, huh? I was getting bored slaughtering these puppies," he grinned, as if the wolves understood his provocation. They howled in unison, shaking the dead woodland.

​The girls halted when they saw this. Just as Thalia was about to move to his side. A cold grip held her arm. Turning back, she saw Azaria looking at her with cold eyes.

​"Master hasn't asked for support," Azaria said calmly. "Stay back."

​Thalia stared at her for a second before nodding and backing off. Azaria's worth was way more in Rahu'seyes, making her the senior harem member here. So, it was better not offend her.

​Back at the battle, the first Origin Realm wolf lunged without warning. Its speed was inhuman and explosive. Its body blurred as it crossed the distance between them in an instant, claws tearing through the air, aiming towards Rahu's chest.

​Rahu stepped forward with a smirk, his body twisted sharply, muscles bulging and coiling. He met the charge head-on! Lifting the scythe upward, a dark, terrifying purple light flashed. [Sword Aura] compressed at the tip of the blade as he swung the scythe with brutal efficiency.

​BOOM!

​The wolf was flung sideways, its massive body darted and slid across the ground, tearing a deep trench amidst the dry soil and corpses.

​The second beast attacked almost immediately, its jaws snapping down on him from above. Pulling the scythe backwards, he raised his other arm to block the attack.

​ROAARR!

​The impact sent a shockwave across the battlefield. But Rahu didn't move an inch. Black lightning cackled along his forearm as he caught the wolf just before it could bite. His fingers dug into its upper jaw as he clenched it hard.

​The beast struggled, its muscles bulging. With a grin, Rahu tightened his grip.

​CRACK.

​He slammed it onto the ground with monstrous force, hard enough to shatter its bones from inside, then kicked its skull aside as the third Origin Realm wolf charged in from the flank.

​This one was a bit different; it began circling around him, growling. Ash clung to its fir unnaturally. As its eyes locked onto Rahu.

Rahu noticed it, "Oh? His smile widened slightly, "Would you look at this one?"

​The wolf moved.

Not forward. But, sideways. Its body blurred, not with speed, but with something more strange. For a split second, it even seemed like an afterimage was formed.

Rahu's scythe sliced through the empty space as the beast reappeared behind, its claws glowed, and in an instant, it stretched its claws, intending to tear his spine.

​Rahu twisted sharply, but the tip of it still grazed his back. Black lightning snapped as he slid forward, a few steps away from the wolf. Raising his head, he looked at the wolf curiously.

​"Interesting, even after using black lighting. Your claw…somehow still grazed my back." He rolled his shoulders, straightening his back slowly.

The wolf didn't respond. It vanished again, Ash disappearing just as Rahu moved. This time, it ducked low, jaws snapping towards its leg. Rahu kicked downward, but the beast phased…mid motion! It reappeared at Rahu's flank and stuck its claws across his ribs.

​Blood sprayed lightly as the claws stuck his shoulder. The girls gasped.

​"I…see, so you phase, huh?" Rahu muttered, taking a few steps back. "What a strange ability."

​The other two Origin Realm wolves quickly regrouped and started to attack in bursts. One high and one low forcing Rahu to move continuously. [Sword Aura] flashed, deterring them back. Without turning his head, he spoke. "Azaria, engage two of these wolves, and don't kill them…yet."

​Azaria dashed forward, her arm covered in icy veins. She instantly appeared above one of the Origin Realm and swung her arm, bashing its head with monstrous force.

​BOOM!

​The wolf slammed on the ground, her other hand made a grasping motion as ice stretched from her hand and pinned the other wolf to the ground.

​Her arrival changed the momentum of the battle in an instant. Seeing this, Rahu smirked proudly. Raising his scythe, he muttered.

​"Divine Sword Arts: Sword Aura"

​The scythe began to glow densely, as purple light began gathering around it.

​Aiming at the strongest wolf, he slashed his blade horizontally.

​BOOM!!

The strike arrived at the wolf in an instant and struck it square before it could even use its strange ability! The arc cleanly severed the wolf's head and tumbled to the ground. The poor guy didn't even realize what had happened. The monstrous arc still continued forward.

​It didn't lose its power; it continued with monstrous momentum and stuck the horde of wolves head-on!

​BOOM!!

​The front rank didn't even have the time to yelp. Heads, limbs, torsos exploded and rained down. The arc is carved through flesh, muscle, and even bones. Bodies burst apart mid-air, ribs cracking open like rotten fruit. Guts spilled in ropes across the dead woodland.

​Lucy watched in horror as blood jetted in high arcs. Wolves behind piled into a mountain of corpses, mangled carcasses, and gore that soaked the ground.

​This…this is what true carnage looked like!

​Rahu didn't even look at it, turning towards Azaria. He saw the two wolves were still howling in rage as they watched their horde fall into pieces.

​"Karma! Use your domain!" He shouted at the feline, who rushed towards him.

​"Yes, master!" Saying that, a domain burst from Rahu as the center. An eerie domain formed around Rahu and Azaria, including the two wolves.

"Let go of them," Rahu said. Azaria nodded and stepped back.

​The instant they were released, they dashed towards Rahu! Who just watched them curiously.

Their movements were slower than before, and their mind seemed a bit unfocused.

"Hmm, well, aside from these. There aren't really any noticeable changes. I guess we really need to push you to the Origin Realm," saying that, he picked Karma up like a cat.

"M-Master!?" Karma yelped.

​"Heh, go have a feast!" Saying that, he threw her towards the corpses.

​"Heartless master!!! Couldn't you be more gentle!?"

​"I will be…when you get a human form!"
