2024-10-29 19:42:56A sharp lunge towards the enemy, the werewolf knocks down his enemy, powerful blows fall in an endless stream. Alud growls, with a flourish he plunges his claws into the sides, shoulders and chest of the enemy lying on the asphalt. There is a slight bewilderment on the face of the defeated hunter, turning into a cheeky grin, one blow to the werewolf's chest, and he flies off a good four meters.
Why so much power in this body? The werewolf thought, rubbing his sore chest. The hunter stood up, black wounds from Alud's claws gaped under the torn cloak, greenish, thick smoke came out of them, the wounds healed instantly. Steel flashed again in his hand, an alloy with silver, and Alud smelled something else unfamiliar. It was a small, slightly curved saber, reminiscent of the Egyptian khopesh *
The guard was in the form of a thick ring around the handle. The surface was covered with symbols, a vampire, in place of Alud, of course, would have examined them without any problems, but the werewolf did not concentrate on such details, it was more important for him that this blade was with silver, which means it had a real threat to life. A creaking sound came from the blade scraping the asphalt, leaving behind a deep, slightly smoking line. The smell of singed asphalt was felt by the werewolf. Quickly grouping, Alud jumped away from the hunter rushing at him, a sharp swing on a diagonal shifted to the right, slid through the flesh, smelled of singed wool. Alud howled, a trace appeared on his shoulder from the back , with scorched edges, from which blood oozed.
- Fucking creature! The werewolf cried out, without stopping, rushed to the garbage cans. He grabbed the edge of the square tank with force, the rattle of deforming iron was heard, the massive tank flew towards the hunter, a powerful animal roar accompanied the short flight of the metal creation of man. The iron box simply swept away a standing figure, a creak of iron, flying debris, a thud against the wall, cracks and pieces of the building and a booming echo, like in a cave, “the shadow pin does not even make a sound when it works.” The shiny blade lies nearby, among cans, garbage bags, half-empty beer bottles, the banana skin lay in one strip in the middle of the blade, slightly smeared on it with its rotting flesh.
- Get the damn thing! The werewolf was breathing heavily, looking askance, his shoulder ached brutally. Silver caused an allergic reaction in any werewolf when they were in animal form . Subtle ties with dark energy were broken . Such wounds healed for a long time and could kill if they damage vital organs.
“It sucks to smell your own scorched flesh. At such moments, you can think about the meaning of life. Alud chuckled. For a while nothing happened, an eternity reflected in a few seconds for the werewolf. Thick greenish smoke rose from under the tank. The trash can moved slightly. Resounding blows, the tank flew off sharply, finally losing its shape, slamming into a corner. Garbage outlined the path of the cistern. The green smoke dissipated, the Hunter stood all crumpled, his whole body was covered with lacerated wounds, the floor of his face was dissected. All these wounds instantly healed right before our eyes, leaving no trace, only the clothes suffered in places where the flesh was once torn. On the healing face, deep anger shone.
- What do you think about yourself! Do you compete with us? the hunter shouted, quickly approaching the werewolf.
Who sent you, creature? Alud screamed.
- The corpse does not need knowledge. - Sharply responded hunter. A powerful whipping blow flew to Alud's head. The werewolf dodged, going down, simultaneously striking in the side. The hunter did not react in any way, he mechanically struck like a robot, without fatigue. The werewolf knocks him down, breaks him on the knee, throws him, breaks his arms - all to no avail. For each lunge, the werewolf takes a series of hard blows. Forces gradually leave, the hunter, on the contrary, increases the pace. A powerful roundhouse kick knocks Alud into the passageway between the houses, where he hits the energy barrier of the "Pin of Shadows", the furry body collapsed into a puddle accumulated on the asphalt. The water was dyed crimson from the blood dripping from the werewolf.
- It's useless, you can't take it by force, what the hell to do? Alud thinks. The hunter turned his back, walked towards the blade lying in the garbage. Alud's thoughts swirled wildly in his head. His eyes were fixed on what was holding him back.
- Your same mother! That fucking needle should be used against him. – the werewolf rushed to the pulsating rod, grabbed it with both paws, and pulled it up. The spikes on the rod painfully dug into his palms, even through the wool it was clear how the muscles on the back swelled. The werewolf's senses dulled, and he no longer paid attention to the pain. One thought was spinning in my head, if this is not done, then you will definitely die, the realization of this stimulated a weakened body, this is called will. The wand trembled, buzzed, but slowly succumbed to the inhuman strength of the werewolf. The asphalt crumbled under Alud's feet. The hunter raised his sword, turned around, his face stained with rage at the sight he saw. He ran with his sharp blade at the ready, ready to deliver a crushing blow. The wand yielded. Sharp steel flies through the air, driven by the killer's hands. The wand is buzzing. A powerful blow falls in the direction of the werewolf's muzzle, Alud draws out his wand, substituting it across the blow at the very last moment, holding it with both paws. A sharp click announces the walls of nearby houses. This is the sound of an energy barrier leaving, and hope for survival coming. A powerful wave of a werewolf pressed into the asphalt. The hunter flew off into the wall, slightly sagging from shock, of course, not for long. The stunned Alud instantly got his bearings.. C grabbed a rod like a spear . The spikes are already hidden in the surface of the wand.
The hunter shakes his head, quickly rebuilding himself from numerous internal fractures . Looking ahead, his eyes see a werewolf standing with a wand . There is wild anger in his eyes. He sees the wand, it flies right at him, passes through the chest and gets stuck in the wall. He feels the thorns dig into him. He sees the energy in the Shadow Pin begin to work, forming a barrier.
Alud saw those eyes filled with silent malice lurking in another dimension. He collapsed like a wreck . They left him from the silt to the end. Nearby lay a hunter's blade, a small notch on the blade from a crushing blow, and traces of a rotten banana. Somewhere above, a raven screamed.

Alud woke up, his eye was covered with blood, his shoulder ached brutally, his back ached, his whole body felt weak and in pain, the werewolf stood up, whining and groaning. The hated piece of steel that had caused him so much suffering lay nearby. The werewolf casually took it with his left hand, after wrapping the handle with a rag lying among the garbage. With a heavy gait, he headed towards his lair.A huge building of the former metallurgical shop, a long-sold machine-tool plant, a loss-making business, a suburban area. It looks like an abandoned gray building with huge workshops and a bunch of rooms, spacious basements, communications are connected and functioning, it would never occur to anyone that there was a werewolf den. Alud, with the last of his strength, reached the territory of the plant, let out a summoning howl and lost consciousness.He woke up already in the lair, on a soft bed, neatly applied clean bandages covered the wounds.

The fog dissipated, unable to withstand the gusts of the north wind, carrying excess moisture away from the city. The clock is 4:13. The wind, howling, squeezes into all the cracks of the city streets, playing with everything that can lift into the air, or at least ruffle. Brook-ta-man hailed a taxi, said the drop-off point, and paid immediately. Leaning back in the soft seat of the car, he watched the changing pictures outside the window. Senses are sharpened vision, hearing, perception filters work in wide ranges. He clearly felt the increased activity of the Shadowfists, they were looking for something.- Yes, I'm not the only one having a stormy night. The vampire thought. The car drove through a large puddle, dousing the doors with a rich water net. The glass was covered with small drops. The vampire contemplated the downward movement of the drops for some time. The taxi stopped at a tall building under construction. The driver looked after the late client, as soon as he heard th

The gaze is concentrated, the pupil narrows, the vampire feels someone else's presence. In the depths of the building, among the concrete columns and unfinished brickwork, a creature moves silently, it thinks that no one is aware of its presence. It does not know, it is itself trapped. Silent movements, a pin of shadows gleaming in his hand, the hand steps back, preparing to launch the creation of shadows at the vampire, shackle him in space and finish him off.

Yulia was rummaging through a mountain of dusty books. Flipping through the pages quickly, she looked for even the slightest clues leading to the blade. A large room filled with shelving full of books. Werewolves ran through the book labyrinths, looking for the information they needed. She carefully scanned page after page, glancing occasionally at the blade on the table. She was in the form of a human, but she still had a slight smell of silver that irritated her. She was approached by a man who looked to be in his sixties, wearing round glasses and stooping slightly. His hair, sloppily folded into a bun, was fastened at the back with a small black ribbon, with a red ornament. Gray hair, thickly covered, changing its color from dark gray to whitish. Here and there strands of dark brown hair showed through. The whole face was covered with wrinkles. At the corners of the eyes, the folds stood out brightly, on the general background of the skin of the face. Through the round glasses, t

- I'll be training new recruits in the basements. - said Baruz, leaving the archive. The door slammed shut. The librarian, after standing for a while, took an armful of books and sat down at the computer. Without looking at the monitor, he quickly tapped on the keys. The noise of the cooler, the flickering of the monitor, such simple things, so quickly fit into the usual life. Modern technology, surrounded by old books. The present interacts with the past, seeking to avoid mistakes.“I’ll run into the Central Library to see people today, I need to find out something. The librarian thought, not looking up from the monitor.Julia looked at the sleeping Alud. She sat timidly on the edge of the bed, afraid to disturb the wounded man. Her light beige dress pressed into the soft bed, creating clear folds at the hips, smoothly turning into a thin waist. Her crossed legs in black shoes were hidden under the fabric of the dress, just above the knees. Dark, shiny hair, like a monk's hood, fell

For the first time he sees blood, his own blood, there is no habitual greenish smoke that instantly heals the flesh, there is only a new feeling, previously unknown. Pain is a new feeling coming through the nerve connections to the brain, the brain generates a feeling of pain. New and new tides of nerve cells obediently transmit, determining the location of pain.“You will tell me everything. The predatory smile never left Brook-ta-man's face.- I know how to hurt, I'll tell you a secret, you can cut off your hand, and it will hurt you, really hurt.

Julia looked ahead of her with an unseeing gaze. Sad look, even breathing, she seemed to freeze, thinking about what happened last night. The day was rapidly fading away, giving way to the second cycle. The body felt energized. But she paid no attention to it. Immersed in her thoughts, not noticing how her feelings took on a different form of sensitivity, more subtle and varied, sitting by Alud's bed, she gently squeezed his hand. About three hours ago his convulsions had stopped and he was sleeping peacefully. The wounds healed, leaving behind small whitish lines. The hand suddenly twitched.

This amulet with a stone contains tremendous power, it is worth turning the protective mechanism and the energy of the sun will break out, such power will erase any vampire into powder, and possibly harm the oldest. - the vampire says, carefully holding out the bundle with the amulet. Alud looks at the vampire in surprise, slightly distracted from his thoughts. He had never even heard of such deadly artifacts. The werewolf bowed deeply, expressing the highest appreciation for the act of the vampire, and then tightly hugged Bruk-ta-man.

The shadowy figure slowly entered the spacious parking lot of the vampire hive. With a slight movement of his fingers, the ancient scattered a few guards against the walls, turning their bodies into a bloody mess. Surveillance cameras fell like autumn tree leaves and smashed against the floor with a metallic creak. He approaches the elevator where Lord Askadal stood humbly with his head bowed.- Lord, I greet you, the Shadofs reported your luck. - Askadal says, with a slight tremor in his voice.- Our progress is inevitable, soon we will become even greater.
