n“So, do you accept the Vrka Yuddha?” Akela glared at the Shadow Wolf.

nConan ignored the massive Wind Wolf as he looked around him, he looked at the Grey Wolf, his wife Jezra who was now nothing but a cold corpse. Then he looked at all the expectant eyes of the thousand wolves watching them.

nHe knew that Akela already succeeded, this Wind Wolf drove him into a tight spot. If he didn’t accept the challenge, he would lose respect from all his wolves.

nThough he didn’t want to accept it, he knew that a large number of these wolves secretly cheered for him to lose and be killed.

nHe closed his eyes. ‘I live to spite haters!”

nAs soon as he motivated himself, he opened his eyes which now glowed purple with mysterious shadows moving through them like clouds.

nHe looked at Akela. “You are an honorable Wolf, triggering an honest Vrka Yuddha to make yourself the Alpha but your honor will kill you”.

n“In the beast plane, there is no place for wolves with honor”.

n“Here, it’s either you’re ruthless and kill or be killed”.

n“Naïve Wolf, I’ll teach you that in this Vrka Yuddha”.

nThe next moment, Conan stood tall as he turned to face the thousand expectant wolf eyes that focused on them.

nThen he howled loudly. “I accept the challenge!”

n—–

nAkela has triggered a Wolf Mission: Wolf Conqueror!

nMission Details: Akela, your contracted beast has triggered a sacred Vrka Yuddha to become the Wolf Alpha of a large wolf territory. If he survives, as his master, your renown and power will increase.

nMission Rewards: Title- Master of Akela, the Wolf Conqueror!

n—-

nFrom the skies still fused with Bran, on seeing this sudden interface notification, Legolas was surprised as he looked at this challenge with renewed enthusiasm. He cheered his beast on. “Akela, you have to win”.

nAkela grinned. “Finally”.𝗈𝑽𝑙xt.𝓬𝑶𝗆

nInstantly, Nymeria and all the other wolves deserted the rock, leaving the 2 challengers and giving them enough space to fight to the death.

nConan grinned. “How do you intend to die?”

n“By a sneak attack or by a head-on overwhelming attack?”

n“I…”

nAkela barely spoke before black shadows appeared beside him.

nBzzz!

nConan was cunning, this was something that Akela already heard from Nymeria and confirmed after the ambush that almost killed him.

nHe would not fall for the same trick twice.

nInstantly after Conan used his Shadow Blink ability, Akela’s eyes glowed as without hesitation, he activated his Nature Call ability.

n“Awoo!”

nWith Akela’s howl came a mighty raging hurricane.

nConan arrived behind his opponent to be greeted with a dangerous hurricane. Despite the short time that he was exposed to it, the sharp wind already cut into his hide as blood flowed.

nDefense was not exactly a Shadow Wolf’s forte, their defense was even weaker than Wind Wolves and was why Conan was an ambush predator.

nInstantly after the sharp wind started cutting into his hide, Conan activated another ability as his black fur was coated by a shifting cloud of shadow energy.

nWith an instant burst of speed, he charged out of the shadows.

nIn the same rapid manner that he charged out, he also halted after escaping the range of the hurricane as he turned with his eyes turning darker.

n“Awoo!”

nWith this howl from the Shadow Wolf, 3 Giant Shadow Spears appeared from 3 sides surrounding Akela as they ruthlessly plunged at this Wind Wolf.

nThis was when Akela finally moved.

nHis sleek body seemed to turn sleeker for a brief moment and in these moments, Akela already activated his Speed Demon active ability, the next moment, he exploded with speed towards Conan like a moving train.

nThis time, Conan could not dodge.

nBoom!

nAkela clashed against the mighty Shadow Wolf as he bared his teeth and claws, instantly activating both his Wind Claws and Bite Force active abilities.

nCrunch!

nThe sound of Akela’s teeth sinking into his opponent’s hide was sickening, but Conan was not one to go down without a fight.

nIt was after biting that Akela noticed the thick gathering of shadow that now coated the Shadow Wolf’s hide.

nActivating his only 2 defense abilities, Conan did not only increase the toughness of his hide but also turned it into a shadow quagmire that now trapped Akela after his bite.

nAfter trapping Akela, he finally started his counterattack.

nConan growled. “Komodo Teeth!”

nInstantly, this Shadow Wolf’s teeth became coated with a corrosive energy as he bit into Akela’s leg as a sizzling sound reverberated the next moment.

nAs his leg was corroded, Akela roared in pain.

nAkela struggled fiercely to free himself from the shadow quagmire.

nIn the end, after struggling to no avail, he had no choice but to gather his energy and activate another Nature Call. As the hurricane arrived, Conan used his Shadow Blink ability again as he disappeared from the danger area.

nOutside the hurricane’s area, he attacked again this time with his specialty.

nThe next moment, Conan’s 2 teeth that were bigger than the others, making them seem like tusks were suddenly launched out of his mouth like daggers.

nAkela tried to swat at them with his claws but he was not fast enough.

nThe 2 deadly teeth empowered by corrosion energy dug into his hide close to his neck as Akela started bleeding even more from the damage.

nThe Wind Wolf thrashed about, trying to no avail to get the 2 corrosive teeth out of his body that were eating deeper into his neck by the second.

nHis predicament and sudden lack of concentration on his real enemy proved deadly, with Akela focusing on the teeth and trying to remove them, Conan finally made use of his deadliest ability, his specialty.

nThis massive Shadow Wolf growled. “Shadow Assassination!”

nBzzz!

nConan disappeared like he used his Shadow Blink ability.

nAkela noticed it instantly as soon as his enemy disappeared and, in his panic, he turned around in a bid to bite at his enemy as soon as he appeared.

nThis time, Conan didn’t appear behind him though.

nAs soon as Akela turned, his shadow suddenly seemed to grow a will of its own. A shadow was supposed to be a loyal neutral companion that followed an individual throughout its life, but today, Akela’s shadow betrayed him.

nAkela did not expect it as his own shadow tackled him to the ground before sinking its deadly teeth into his neck as he growled in pain.

nDespite his struggles to free himself from the death grip of the shadow, the shadow bit deeper and rougher, overpowering him. Blood flowed like a fountain.

nThis was a deadly ability from Conan that had enabled him to kill countless Wolf Alphas to keep his territory since killing Gorgon, the Fire Wolf, none of his enemies were ever able to predict the move.

nOnce they saw it, they died.

nAkela started feeling his vitality draining out of his body.

nHe felt his master’s intentions to save him but Akela was stubborn.

n‘No’. He growled at his master through their telepathic relationship.

nWith eyes opened wide as blood vessels filled it and his vitality rapidly draining, Akela held firm to his motivation. ‘I must make my master proud!’

nDoomed as a Wind Wolf that would not achieve anything before dying uneventfully was his destiny before he encountered Legolas. Encountering Legolas changed his life, his destiny changed, it made him become something.

nNow, Akela was determined to repay his master’s favor.

nNot even Conan could stop him from repaying the favor.

n“Roar!”

nAkela roared in a bid to gather strength to overpower the shadow but Conan was too powerful, he was unable to overpower the Shadow Wolf.

n“Roar!”

nHe kept on roaring in desperation even as his vitality drained.

nWith total silence now reigning through this territory, the thousand wolves solemnly watched this Vrka Yuddha without interfering. They could feel Akela’s conviction to win, some of them wanted to help him but they could not.

n“Roar!”

nAkela roared again, unwilling to give in to despair.

n“I cannot lose!”

n“I cannot die!”

nAmid his rampage to save his life, Akela suddenly remembered some words that his master spoke to him. Legolas once told him that he didn’t contract him due to his strength or talent, he rather contracted him due to his leadership abilities.

nAkela’s eyes gleamed. “If I can’t do it alone, I’ll use others to do it”.

nAkela’s eyes glowed a deep brown color as he focused inside his body, trying to draw a strange power that he believed was there but hadn’t seen yet.

nHis belief was so strong that the imagination became reality.

n“Roar!”

nWith one last roar, a reaction occurred, a resonance. All the wolves in this battlefield that sympathized with Akela felt a resonance as instantly, a white light started extending from their body towards Akela.

nAkela’s eyes glowed brighter as he felt the new vitality and strength that was rapidly surging into his body from an artificial source.

nConan’s eyes widened in shock from the shadow.

nLegolas’s virtual interface also lit up a notification.

n—–

nCongratulations! Your contracted beast has broken a limit!

nAkela has created his first specialty ability…

n—-

n“ROAR!!!”

nAkela’s mighty roar reverberated through the Steep Hills like thunder.
