'This is going to hurt…' Blake couldn't dodge the attack at such a distance, so all he could do was brace for impact and prepare to trade blows.
Earth eruption!
Before the alpha warg could get its teeth could get a bite on Blake's head, a pillar of rock shot out from below, hitting the alpha warg on the chin and changing its trajectory.
"Thanks." Not needing to be told of what to do, Blake appeared beside the alpha warg, slashing at its head with a space-infused Reaper.
Slash!
Before the blade of Blake's katana could dig into its skin, the alpha warg performed a side flip causing the blade to leave a bone-deep cut in its left arm but in turn, it saved its neck.
Ahwooo!
The alpha warg howled in agonizing pain as streams of blood gushed out its wound, but it had no time to rest because Blake was going for an injured warg which was stuck in Brian's quicksand.
Terraform!
Before the alpha warg could get to Blake, the ground 10 meters in front of it turned to quicksand, and before it could react it was already too late.
With its terrifying momentum, the alpha warg crashed into the pool of quicksand and helplessly watched as another member of its pack was slashed multiple times before being beheaded.
Awooo!
Hearing its kin's cry for help all over the battlefield made its anger reach a whole new level, causing an adrenaline rush.
(AN: Poor wargs. They were chased out of their homes and in the process most of their stronger hitters were killed and now they are being murdered by shameless humans but all they wanted was lunch :(
Awooo!
With anger and sheer will, the alpha warg powered its way out of the pool of quicksand and went straight for the most troublesome one, Brian.
"No, you don't." Castiel shot out a fully charged flame burst at the alpha warg, sending it flying a few meters off course.
"That's my queue…" Blake said as he released countless arcs of lightning at the alpha warg that was getting back on its feet.
Ahwooo!
The alpha warg screamed in pain as the bone-numbing electricity ravaged its entire body, charring it in the process.
'Oh, you guys want a piece of the action? Don't worry, the trashing will go round.' Blake thought as he sensed the two wargs sneaking up from behind.
He jumped into the air and right behind him were the two wargs who had also jumped in pursuit, but before they touch him, Blake used two mini flame bursts to take him higher.
"Gotcha…" Blake thought aloud as he shot multiple flame spears at the now vulnerable wargs that could only watch as the flame spears drilled into their bodies.
Just recovering from the stunning effect of Blake's lightning, the alpha warg saw Blake who was in mid-air, and knew this was the perfect opportunity to end his life.
Without delay, the alpha warg rushed at Blake, but before it could move an inch it saw dark ethereal tendrils lashed onto its limbs.
Ahwoo!
It felt its strength being drained by the tendrils and turned to the source and saw Castiel who was standing beside Tessie.
The dark ethereal tendrils of the dark siphon spell originated from the user and that made it hard for those caught in its grip to pull out, but it had a flaw, nothing stopped them from charging at the user as long as they had the energy to do so.
The alpha warg quickly recognized this flaw and charged at Castiel but before it could move, the ground turned soft. It recognized what was going on and tried to jump out of the area, but that was when arcs of lightning descended on it, stunning it long enough for it to sink into the quicksand.
'My god! What seamless teamwork for people their age…' Arnold who was at a safe distance away from the battle was shocked by their teamwork. He had planned on giving a helping hand when the Alpha warg was trashing Blake, but Blake quickly got everything under control.
'How did he know that something was wrong? I just hope things don't get worse than this.' On their last run to the Bulian hills, Arnold had noticed the anomaly but was shocked by how Blake had noticed earlier.
…
Back to the battlefield, after the trio had managed to trap the alpha warg, they went ahead and cleared the rest of the wargs.
At this point, the alpha warg could only sit and wait for the siphon spell to completely drain it of its life. It had sustained a deep injury to its leg, its adrenaline rush had come to an end leaving it extremely weak, also helplessly watching its pack being slain made it lose its will to fight.
'Old man what happens to the energy Castiel absorbs?' Blake couldn't help but ask as he saw the alpha warg waiting for its death.
[After draining the energy from the warg's body, the next target will be its beast core and once the tendrils tap into the pure energy from the beast core, the Darkbringer redirects its energy into his stars.] The system replied.
'Are you saying he can cultivate by killing beasts?!' Blake was shocked by the revelation.
[Yes, but the ratio at which the energy is being absorbed isn't equal to the original amount because of the impurities in a beast's body, meaning the conventional method is more efficient.] The system said.
'But the fact that he could cultivate while fighting is nuts! Imaging draining the energy of 5 magical beasts at the same time with those tendrils.' Blake said.
Although the absorption rate wasn't equal, it was way more convenient and faster, because one could go out to hunt and be cultivating at the same, thereby using his cultivation time for something else.
For someone like Blake who had little time, he could afford the little wasted energy.
[That is one of the reasons why the darkness element is second to the space element.] The system said.
