Bloodlines of the Ancient Pantheons

Chapter 232: CCXXXII. The White Fur

Dag quickly moved to one side, dodging the beam, but the enemy moved the stick in that direction, and even the purple beam of energy moved with it, still heading toward Dag.

The two large dark appendages that leaked out of his back, violently hit the ground, sticking and lifting him from the terrain, allowing him to move at an incredible speed, as he was flying.

The magic ray tried to cut them, but they pushed Dag forward, moving him quickly toward Sandre, with arachnid-type movements.

The mage stopped channeling the spell so he could defend himself against Dag's imminent attack, which, extracting both weapons, tried to strike him quickly.

The hammer was heavily loaded with dark electricity from the weapon's inner sparks, combined with the characteristics of its fluid, while the power of the Giantbane was deactivated.

Crossing his arms in front of him, Sondre created a protective barrier between him and Dag, which shattered into a thousand pieces under the hammer blow, destabilizing him and causing him to fall to the ground.

Before he could do anything else, Dag's 'dark arms' broke off the ground and flew towards the enemy, sharpening and sticking in both of his shoulders, nailing him to the ground with no possibility of moving.

"Aaagh! Aaaaaagh!" the magician yelled, as his stick rolled away from his right hand and his arms began to lose their mobility.

With both beams of fluid thrust into his enemy, facing his head upwards, Dag fluttered over him, looking into his eyes, while his right eye emitted an overhuman glow.

"I warned you" he exclaimed, lifting the Giantbane upwards and then striking him violently on the right shoulder, cutting off his arm, which a moment later, was thrown away from his dark arm, twirling in the air for a few meters, before ending up in the mud.

"Uuaagh! Rooooar!" the magician yelled as he looked death in the face, with Dag ready to finish him, as the Giantbane became flaming.

Before he could give him the coup de grace, Dag heard a sound of shrubs coming in front of him and stopped, looking in that direction.

From the darkness of the vegetation behind the stone palace, an indistinct figure quickly dashed towards him, without feet resting on the ground as if it was some flying being.

Immediately the sharp fluid detached from Sondre's shoulders, throwing Dag backwards and causing him to dodge the unexpected shot.

The being who had tried to hit him, after missing its target, crashed violently against a hut, completely destroying it, piercing its walls, while the thatched ceiling fell on them.

"And what the fuck is that thing?!" exclaimed Karl, who after medicating Reidar's shoulder, raised his head over the wall behind which they had hidden, having heard a deafening noise.

A huge hand sprang from the rubble, lifting pieces of the wall as if they were leaves and unplugging the wood and straw off.

It was a humanoid beast, about 3 meters high, with a short white fur, which covered its massive and heavy muscles.

Two huge curved horns had their tips facing forward, like two hooks.

His face was very similar to that of a goat, but with some human-kind traits, such as a large pronounced jaw and a broad forehead.

His eyes, small and yellow, looked at Dag angrily as his hooves crawled to the ground, moving the destroyed pieces of the hut and preparing to charge towards him.

Unlike the lower part, the arms had no hooves, but large, sturdy hands, also surrounded by the same white fur that covered his entire body.

"Help me, Roar! Aaagh!" yelled Sandre once again, who had called to his aid the other Master, who had somehow managed to save his life, while he continued to writhe on the ground sore because of the missing arm and the huge hole in his left shoulder.

Roar began charging towards Dag, pointing his horns forward and powerfully slamming his hooves into the ground, which ensured him excellent friction, despite it was muddy and slippery.

Before he got in front of him, Dag moved one of his dark arms towards the beast-man, trying to spear him and block his charge.

But Roar dodged the shot very quickly and grabbed the beam of liquid, wrapping it on his wrist and pulling towards him, trying to drag Dag, who was unbalanced forward, surprised by the physical strength of his enemy.

The other dark arm came off the ground and before he could regain his balance, Dag was punched in the chest.

The impact was very strong, but he fell to the ground in front of the enemy's feet, who continued to hold the fluid beam attached to Dag's back.

With the hoof, the enemy attempted to hit him while he was on the ground, but he rolled to one side and with an incredibly quick gesture, he stuck the other arm of fluid into the beast-man's shoulder, which emitted a slight groan.

Dag quickly rose from the ground, and the dark arm he had grasped deliberately detached from his back, twisting around Roar's arm and reaching his throat, clutching tightly, as if he was a large black python.

With one arm and head completely immobilized and a shoulder impaled with a large black blade, which twisted on itself tearing its flesh apart, Roar knelt on the ground in front of Dag, who for a moment had seemed in trouble.

"If you kill us... you will never see... the girl again..." said the beast, in a deep, baritone voice, looking at Dag with a gruesome smile drawn on his face, as his white fur got dirty with red.

Dag pushed his dark arm even further, keeping on impaling his enemy, who uttered another groan of pain as his wound deepened and his arm began to lose strength.

"His muscles and bones are as hard as iron, I can't get the blade out the other side!" thought Dag, who despite continuing to push the blade and squeeze the other bundle of fluid around Roar's arm and neck, could not cause further damage, due to that superhuman physical strength.
