READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 30: Dire Wolves
"Okay what should we do first," Merlin contemplated. "Finding the Chaos Lord and their subordinates won't be an easy task so our only option is to learn our Celestial powers."
Celestials other than having the abilities that they were born with; they could also learn the powers that their Celestial laws gave them. Celestial laws are the laws that correspond well with their skills or their personality. Take Keith for example, he has a vengeful nature which allowed him to obtain the Celestial law of Vengeance.
And for Merlin since he had the necromancy skill and the fact that he has killed a lot of living creatures allowed him to obtain the Celestial Law of Death.
In order for them to learn how to use their Celestial powers they first had to create a core known as Celestial Core. The Celestial core that does not contain Se but it contains Celestial Energy but most universes have a limited amount of Celestial Energy. So, celestials found a way to obtain Celestial Energy without directly absorbing it from the atmosphere.
They found out that 1 000 000Se is equivalent to 1 Celestial Energy. So, all they had to do was convert Se to Celestial energy. But creating a Celestial Core was a lot harder than converting Se to Celestial Energy, it would take about a hundred years to form a Celestial Core. Luckily for Keith and Merlin they had already created their Celestial Cores so all they needed to do was convert their Se to Celestial Energy.
They both sat in a lotus position and converted all of their Se to Celestial Energy. Keith and Merlin finished the process after twenty minutes and decided to absorb Se to replenish their Se Reserves. They then opened their eyes and decided to check out their stats.

Merlin and Keith stood up and took a few steps to the north but something unexpected happened. They were suddenly teleported in lush green forest. All the trees in the forest had a height of 60 meters and a width of 12 meters. The canopy of the trees blocked the sun making the place there were currently at seem a little dark but Keith and Merlin already had a skill that could make them see properly even in the dark. The whole place was serene and peaceful.
Keith and Merlin heightened their senses and kept their guards up because they could feel that a few beasts approaching them. Keith took out two daggers from his inventory and Merlin used one of his blood abilities to create a lance.
They both got into a battle stance and dashed towards two different directions. It only took Keith a few seconds to reach the beast horde. He climbed up a nearby tree and was able to determine their strength and what race they belonged too.
These creatures were dire wolves. Dire wolves are the descendants of a wolf-type species called the Chaos wolves. These wolves had long been extinct because of two Celestials known as Keith and Merlin. What these particular two Celestials didn't know is that the Chaos Wolves had been interbreeding with other wolf species hence Dire wolves came into existence.
Dire wolves are ten times bigger than ordinary wolves. They have charcoal black fur, abnormally large teeth and a horn on their forehead. The Dire wolves were known for their incredible speed being able to run at speed of sound and their incredible intellect.
Keith could see that there were twenty-five Dire wolves, twenty-four of them being C Rank and the strongest one being a B Rank. Keith decided that he wanted to deal with them as quickly as possible because he didn't feel like toying with these lesser versions of the Chaos wolves.
He created twenty-four clones of himself and told them to hide in the nearby trees and also told them to wait for his signal to attack. He came out of hiding and revealed himself to the Dire wolves. As soon as he was in their line the Dire wolves to ready to pounce at him.
Keith raised his hands up and said, "I come in peace."
The Dire Wolves still kept their guard even after Keith's declaration. The Alpha Dire Wolf moved toward Keith and said in a menacing voice, "Drop your weapons puny human." Keith was enraged because the Dire Wolf called him a puny human. He vowed that he would make sure that this mutt would be put in its place.
Keith dropped his weapons to the ground. The Dire Wolf got closer and saw the smirk on his face. It looked back to check on its pack but he only saw their lifeless bodies on the ground. Some of them had their heads decapitated and some of them had their bodies mangled and twisted but their deaths weren't really this brutal. The clones killed them as quickly as possible but decapitating their heads but Keith used one of skills to create an illusion to make it look like they were tortured in order to enrage the beast.
When it turned its head back Keith had already disappeared. Keith then reappeared on its back and slashed his neck with his daggers leaving an X shaped scar on its neck. Keith jumped of the Dire Wolf's body and said, "Come at me mutt."
The Dire Wolf let out a howl and dark cloud started to form over them. With the dark cloud fully formed, a powerful purple lightning hit Keith. The Dire Wolf smiled for a brief moment until it noticed something was a little bit strange.
His lightning attack was being absorbed by Keith. After Keith had fully absorbed the lightning strike, he looked at little different. His hair was glowing and his pupils had turned purple. His whole body was surrounded by purple streaks of lightning.
Keith looked at his entire body and he could feel the electrical power surge through his entire body. The Dire wolf saw that he was distracted and took this opportunity to charge at him its body enhanced with electrical energy and raised its paw to slash him with it claws but Keith had already dodged its attack.
Keith and the dire wolf looked at each other dead in the eye before they attacked each other. The dire wolf sent a barrage of lightning infused slashes, Keith would parry some of the attacks and also dodge some of them. He then used Flash step to close in the distance and was able to hit some of the wolf's vital points. The wolf ran a few meters away from Keith and decided to pounce right at him.
As the wolf got closer it got ready slash him in his chest but Keith caught it leg before it could attack. The wolf had a 'that when he knew that he fucked up' expression on his face. For the first time in its entire life, it felt pure genuine fear. It saw the look in Keith's eyes which made him quiver in fear even more.
Keith slammed the beast into ground twenty times after that he threw the beast into the air. Keith jumped from tree to tree until he reached the wolf. He slashed the wolf's entire body and cut of its legs. The wolf fell down to ground creating a crater in the earth.
The wolf was now in the worst condition possible. It had lost its legs meaning it couldn't run away even if it wanted to. It had lost a lot of blood meaning it couldn't regenerate. Keith landed on the ground elegantly and slowly walked toward the wolf menacingly. He glared at the beast with a cold yet menacing look in his eyes.
As he got closer, the beast's heart couldn't stop beating. Keith was finally close to the beast, he used both his hands to open its mouth and cut out its tongue. He then ripped off the creature's jaw off and proceeded to rip off the horn and used it to stab one of its eyes. He used one of his daggers to stab the other eye. He used the other dagger to stab its forehead and when the blade reached the brain, the beast had finally perished.
