Shattered Veil: Rise Of The New Gods

The wolf growled, surprised by this sudden development. However, true to it predatory nature, it did not wait to see the outcome. As soon as it felt his heart beat it pounced at him.

It swung it large paw at him from above like a heavenly hammer. It shattered the ice sending ice fragments flying in all directions like bullets.

It moved it paw from the 3 metres wide crater that now stood where he was, expecting to see his bloody remains but all that was there was cracked ice and a little frozen blood from his earlier bleeding.

It turned it head and there he was, standing a 100 metres away not even looking at it. Blue energy was flowing around his body like ribbons.

He turned his head slowly and their eyes met. His eyes had turned into glowing blue balls without any white or any other colour. Blood red eyes filled with malice and savagery met deep blue eyes devoid of any emotions.

They both moved at the same time, their bodies blurring towards each other at speeds beyond the capabilities of anybody he had seen.

It tried to bite him, it huge maw opening wide enough to swallow him whole. He watched in slow motion as teeth as large as daggers drew closer to him.

He moved to the side and punched it in the jaw sending it reeling. It howled loudly, it anger so deep it was suffocating. He watched it with a calm gaze.

His heart beats were slow and steady, he could feel the energy course through his veins. The power inside him felt so vast he believed he could achieve anything.

The wolf pounced at him again with more savagery, he sent a kick to it cheek, the collision of foot and face caused a booming sound followed by a shockwave that spread in the air in all directions.

The wolf took a few steps back, it growled in anger and over and over again it jumped at him but everytime he would repel it with minimal effort.

It was a pity he lacked the ability to cause significant demage to it. Even in this state his daggers could barely pierce it thick hide. It was not an issue with his power but the daggers themselves were too low level.

If he tried to force it they would shatter. They ran around the frozen pond, each of their steps causing cracks on the ice but it was too thick to shatter that easily.

Every now and then it would send beams of cold energy at him which he would dodge easily. Although they were now relative in speed, it was still a bit faster.

Especially since he was not using his ability at it full capacity. He kicked it on the ribs, the wind around his foot slightly increasing the power behind the kick.

However he frowned, everytime he touched it he could feel cold energy seep into his bones, it was slowly hindering his movements.

Not by much but enough to become a problem. He expected it to jump at him again but it did not. Instead it raised it head to the sky and howled.

A pillar of Silver light descended from the moon bathing it figure like a heavenly shower. The temperature around it dropped even further, within a second the temperature in the surrounding kilometres dropped significantly.

Breathing was becoming harder even for him, the silver pilla of light disappeared but the silver light itself remained, shrouding it form like a cloak.

The wolf moved, all he saw was a silver blur, his instincts warned him a bit too late. He was barely able to dodge to the side. It paw shattered the ice below, a shockwave spread in all directions sending him flying like a ragdoll.

This is insane, this thing still had another power up? How did the tower expect people to defeat this monster. He spun mid air, landed on his feet and slid on the ice for a few metres before coming to a stop.

He could feel the ice harden below his feet due to the dropping temperatures. Before he could react his instincts screamed at him again.

He leaned to the side and a giant ray of silver light passed right next to him. It was so cold his skin was covered by a thin layer of ice even though it never touched him.

His blue glowing eyes had a flicker of emotions, surprise and cautiousness. The ray landed on the forest, hundreds of metres away from him.

Every tree in a 50 metres diameter around the point of impact turned to ice. He was half certain they were not merely covered in ice but had frozen from inside out.

He activated his ability to it full capacity, using the second form he jumped 300 metre to the side in less than a second. A moment later there was a huge explosion where he was before.

A 4 metres tall wolf was standing there looking at him with cold eyes. Their game of cat and mouse continued for a while longer. Everytime it pounced at him he would run hundreds of metres away, their bout had caused cracks to spread on the ice frozen pond.

It looked at him from 200 metre away, it legs flexed, it fur stood up straight, this was a sign it was about to attack. He moved his essence to his legs preparing to dodge.

They moved at the same time,however something unexpected happened. The wolf changed directions and charged at him. Since he was using the second form he couldn't change his direction.

Shit,he cursed under his breath, it arrived infront of him in a blink of an eye. He watched it giant maw draw close to him. Desperation filled his heart.

In his desperation he tried something he had thought about before but didn't know if would work. He condensed more essence into his right leg.

Then kicked to the side, he felt the air condense below his foot, coupled with the wind from the ability, the air became almost solid. He used it as a foothold to propel himself to the left.

His body blinked forward so fast his own eyes couldn't follow his movements. He rolled on the cold ice and came to a stop. It really worked, he thought. He raised his head and lookef at the wolf that seemed confused by his sudden disappearance, then a grin so small one might miss it appeared on his face.
