Spurned Luna’s Return: On Your Knees, Alpha Chase

Stretching his arm forward, King Drake called out, “Rylio!”

Immediately, the sceptre flew from Lavana’s hold back to that of its owner, “You, young lady, have made a terrible mistake and you will pay dearly for it!”

“I even killed that old hag, you call a wife. You should’ve seen her tragic look when she was begging for mercy. That, and what I did just now, which pains you more, Your Majesty?” Lavana questioned in ridicule.

In response, the king levitated, and his transformation commenced immediately.

His shoulder-length dove grey hair lengthened by a few inches and became frizzly, changing into a rosewood colour. His eyes turned zaffre, and his outfit changed to just loose ankle-length black pants with an obsidian black silk sash around his waist. Finely patterned fuscia veins made their appearance and could be seen on his entire naked upper body, though they stopped at his jaws. A big wenge ancient-looking book sealed by wine-coloured vines made its appearance after flying out of the king’s spatial ring.

“You had to transform just to fight me? It won’t be fair if I don’t do so, right?” Lavana smilingly said before initiating her transformation. Light covered her as her bones snapped, cracked and reformed, and her figure grew bigger. By the time the light faded, what stood in place of the human female was a giant nine-tailed pearl white wolf.

“You think because you have 5 more tails than a royal Olmpha, you are enough to handle me? I will open your eyes,” his sceptre launched a pale gold energy ball at her and she used her tails to defend herself, while also charging forward.

The guards in the throne room and even those who were close to it, quickly retreated to wherever they considered a great viewing and safe spot. They had nothing to contribute to this battle and if any of them ends up as that wolf sovereign’s hostage, the heavens know that their king would even take the guard’s life on the spot! They weren’t ready to leave the earth in such a cruel manner yet!

Meanwhile, Phoenix had been indeed thrown into the great cell where starved snakes resided.

Immediately sensing that food had come, two giant brown snakes glided out of their hiding spot, quickly coming face-to-face with Phoenix. Although a bit disappointed that there was just one meal and not enough to pacify their hungry selves, it was better than nothing.

They immediately lunged at Phoenix with their mouths wide open. At the final moment, they didn’t end up biting at anything.

“Hey, let’s see if you make good practice partners for my clone,” Phoenix said as he made a clone on the spot before vanishing.

The serpents lunged at the clone but the smiling clone caught them by their heads and flung them to the wall so hard that it crumbled, alerting the guards who were thinking that the stupid Alpha must have been gobbled up by the famished serpents.

Reaching the forbidden cell, they found the two serpents who had already recovered from hitting their head on the wall. The culprit was nowhere to be found, rather there were some tasty morsels right in front of them. These lowly things kept them restrained in here for so long. They should be the first official meal they would eat before the great feast that awaits them when they go wild and free in the kingdom!

These snakes were not regular snakes. They were called demon snakes because they could teach a high-level wizard a lesson, to the point of sending him 6 feet below. Only a Warlock was above them and a Sorcerer too. The one who captured four of them from the evil forest used them as footstools on routine shifts. Stepping on them like they were really trash, was an insult to their existence.

The two of them resisted and got locked up in here and starved for many days. Only when they were on the verge of death would a few bunnies or some other wild meat would be thrown at them. On rare occasions, a criminal would be sent to them and having no other choice, they had to share. Anything thrown to them was a meal, even if it was regular snakes.

The frightened guards, on seeing that these two had become free, turned around and took to their heels, as fast as their legs could carry them.

Some whose levels were a bit higher started flying away with the help of their sceptre.

However, quite a number of them ran out of luck as the furious snakes gobbled up several of them after suddenly growing in size- back to their original giant size.

Today was the day they would wreak havoc on this stupid land!ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Imperial garden.

The throneroom had been completely ruined and the duo’s fight had progressed to the royal garden.

The king had become so frustrated to the point that his eyes had turned sarcoline.

His now open glowing wenge book was with the enemy and she was trying to tear it in two with two of her tails.

What audacity!

It’s not enough that she tried to ruin his sceptre back there. And why was she getting no backlash from holding his book and treating it that disrespectfully? Why wasn’t heaven favouring him today?

Lavana internally was surprised that her Olmpha self was this good at battle. In her wolf form, she spat out fire and this fire was completely different from the one she launched yesterday. It had a white colour and destroyed anything it came in contact with. Did she perhaps level up after defeating that Antero guy?

Cephina had told her to use this king as practice after informing her that he was a Warlock. He was stronger than his late queen but nowhere near that vile sorcerer.

Well, this wasn’t the human territory where she would worry about people’s properties and trees being ruined. She could destroy as much as she wanted here and get away with it.

“Give it back to me!” King Drake yelled as he rushed towards the giant wolf. Unfortunately, by the time he got close, the Olmpha had already torn the book in two with her tails.

“Curse you!” he managed to say after falling from mid-air to the ground hard and rolling for a while before stopping. He tried to get up but he felt immense pain in his chest and spat out blood. Still, using his sceptre, he rose to his feet

“You vile spawn. I am gonna…” he couldn’t say more as he vomited blood.

Lavana returned to her human form, “Oh, did I pull it apart with too much force? I’m so sorry, Your Majesty. I promise I won’t apply that much force with the stick in your hand,”

The last sentence incensed him even more that he spat out more blood.

“Is this your way of saying yes? Well then, I’m taking it,” she turned invisible and teleported. Appearing beside him.

The king who was looking around him to see where she would materialize from, was stunned when he felt a force trying to pull his scepter from his hand.

Now he had to grab onto his precious sceptre for his dear life, exerting all his strength while trying to withhold the great urge to retch.

Suddenly, the force was no longer felt. Instead, he felt two sharp things pierce his eyes, though, not too deeply.

“Ahhh!” he screamed out in pain and frustration, still holding on to his sceptre but a force made it leave his hold.

He frantically shook his head and tried to crawl but recalling that the person was invisible and even hid her scent made him enraged.

“You left me no choice,” he muttered, taking out another book.

This one was one that was completely forbidden. There were just two copies of these books in the world and he owns one of them. He never thought he would actually be forced into making use of it but desperate times call for desperate measures, right?

The book he took out was grey with black vines sealing it. He held it in his hands and spat blood onto the book. Immediately, it glowed and opened, flipping fast to the page he wanted to make use of.

He took a pill that restored sight to some extent and read out the words fast in a language the Olmpha female didn’t understand. The latter needed no soothsayer to make her aware that whatever her opponent was planning, it wasn’t going to be good.

This grey book was three times the size of the one she just ruined.

She saw that he even bit his finger and let the blood drip onto the book page.

Immediately, the ground beneath her trembled. She levitated, trying to get away from the spot when she felt something grip her right leg tightly.
