….
Leylin was genuinely surprised looking at the turn of events in Blair’s front. Leylin knows the girl is not a cute little doll, rather she is a fearsome and ruthless person if need be and she also have her own goals and ambitions.
For Blair her father death was an emotional blow which broke the camel’s back. Her inner self had never held any desire to serve any dynasty nor to act against them out of anger or hatred. Although she feels disgusted by them, it’s not to point where would become hellbent on eradicating them.
What she wants is revenge for her father’s murder, and the strength to see it through but Is that actually all that she lives for?
No, Being a student of Leylin, how could she be so shortsighted and unambitious, living for only hatred and revenge.
Her true desire that she has always suppressed in the deepest of her psyche is to capture that brass ring and stand at the top of the mountain. She wants to reach at the very pinnacle and gaze upon the world from that lofty heights.
Leylin knows her way better than even she do. In fact she probably hasn’t yet figured out her inner feelings but he could clearly feel the blazing storm and fierce greed to reach at the top in her eyes.
Leylin is genuinely very pleased with this and this is why he is most in favor of her chances to actually succeed, because she has the ability to dig down deeper and go an extra mile no matter of the methods and consequences. Her essence is of a Magus, willing to do whatever to reach their goals.
Previously, Leylin kept an eye over her and noticed that in the pursuit to find herself, Blair travelled all around trusting her inner gut to pave a path for herself and after a series of coincidences, incidents and travelling she eventually ended up in the place Leylin started from, after first coming to this world- The Wampus Forest.
Leylin still remember the moment when he was spying on her, looking through to see what fortune she would encounter. After a while, she encountered one wild beast over another, and followed by a series of fight and running around she travelled deeper and deeper into the forest, lastly entering the Core region. The place reigned by the Wampus Cat. The supreme leader and tyrant of this forest.
Her immediate entry caused a ruckus as various Wampus cats descendants of lower rank rushed to her direction in bulk. At first, Blair was startled withdrawing her weapons as she thought that a bloody battle is about to erupt, but oddly enough none of the Cats attacked her rather they behaved cutely like a bunch of kittens and played around her as if they were very familiar with her.
Blair was stunned and confused looking at this odd turn of events but Leylin had a thoughtful look on his face. This cannot be a coincidence only. The Wampus Forest, Wampus Cats, Blair’s Wampus Innate beast. There is definitely a connection between all of this. But the bigger question in Leylin mind was what could she possibly get from there, the strongest beast there is only at Captain stage.
After a moment of observing the Cats, Blair understood that they wanted her to follow them. Blair was very guarded but after thinking for a moment she decided to follow. After her explosive increase in strength after consuming Basilisk Blood Breath potion, Blair isn’t afraid of anyone from a mere Empire and she decided to take the risk since she was sure about her life saving ability after studying under the tutelage of a sneaky Magus for so long. Above all that, she also has a feeling as if something was calling her and this feeling was from the bottom of her core and her Blood itself!
Blair decided to follow them leading to a cave and after a moment of hesitation she entered, and finally she gazed upon the tyrants of the Wampus forest, a humongous figure of a Tiger like creature with blue fur and black strips all over the body. The beast had big blue eyes and it’s whiskers were very long and protruded as if shocked by lighting or something.
The Blue beast calmly stared at her with a human like expression in it’s eyes. Leylin was surprised looking at the beast because through Blair senses he could clearly feel that this beast is at least at Colonel Stage, this just doesn’t match up with the profile he collected earlier.
The Wampus Cat circled around the suspicious and guarded Blair. It’s silent loud breathing and pounding heart only served to increase Blair’s nervousness. After a while, The Wampus Cat nodded lightly and started to walk forward curling it’s tail to a stunned Blair as if asking her to follow.
After a while, it hit the ground in some sort of a mysterious pattern and a huge hole opened up, it turned around to look at Blair pointing at the hole with it’s eyes and jumped directly inside.
Blair walked stealthy towards the opened space the Wampus Cat jumped from, and stared at the pitch-black hole in front of her which seemed like the mouth of some weird creature. The aura from the hole gave her a dreadful feeling but also an exciting feeling built up in her body.
Blair felt both uncomfortable and eager looking at the hole, as if she had been laid bare and all her secrets has been exposed.
She took a deep breath and jumped down inside. After a bit of shuttling through the dark hole she could perceive her inner turmoil stirring more and more. After a while she landed on a soft fur and after touching a bit and beginning to accustomed to darkness she could see the landing platform for her was the Wampus Cat. It nudged a bit and started to walk with Blair sitting on it’s back.
While Blair was becoming more and more confused, Leylin’s eyebrows frowned as he could feel the ominous emitting undulation becoming stronger and stronger.
Suddenly as Leylin’s mind was spinning, a thunderous voice shook Blair’s mind and also almost ruptured her ear drums and startling Leylin in the process.
“Who have you brought Kumma? ” An earth shaking voice echoed throughout the inner cave as vibration filled the place. The Wampus Cat quickly bowed it’s head in respect and adulation touching the ground, before a figure laying on an elevated ground. The Cat made some unrecognizable sounds which were apparently a form of conversation.
Blair looked at the figure and contrary to her expectations of looking at a very majestic figure judging from the strong voice and the hype, she was very confused and a bit disappointed. The being she saw was a panther like creature with not a very huge figure, it had Royal Blue fur and a pair of beautiful gem like green eyes with sparkling wisdom. After listening to the weird sound made by the Wampus cat for a bit, it turned it’s attention to the newcomer and looked at Blair with an unfathomable evaluating gaze.
Leylin eyes widen as he could feel that he could be exposed any minute now so, he decisively broke his connection with her and destroyed the mechanism he planted to spy on her. It’s not the right time for him to be exposed yet.
“Hmm?” The Blue Panther felt a disturbance but it couldn’t quite register it properly.
…..
‘What the hell? Was it a Rank 4 creature? ‘ Leylin eyes were wide open as he was startled thoroughly. After a moment he tried to calm down.
“No, it’s not that. If it were Rank 4 then I wouldn’t be able slip away without catching it’s attention especially in it’s homeguard for so long. But it’s definitely not an average beast either, probably at peak Marshall Stage but it seems a bit stronger and a lot more experienced.’
After that day, Leylin lost his connection with Blair for a period of time and couldn’t quite understand what followed after, and was oblivious to the development in her front. But being himself how could he not install some other countermeasures and he obviously did. Leylin was eventually able to get some information through and with the help of those bits and pieces he could perceive what happened.
So, apparently the beast that Blair encountered at last is called the Wampus Emperor with control over all of the Wampus bloodline which is like a Royal bloodline in Beasts.
The whole of Beast World is very huge and the humans only inhabits 15-20 % of it. The remaining area is ruled and controlled by the Beasts of various kinds and it also had it’s own tribes and rules. This Wampus race could be considered at the most powerful and dominating of all races with great strength.
Apparently following the age old contract signed by these beast ancestors to the previous rulers, they are not allowed to interfere in human world after crossing a certain boundary and this has been followed out for a long time but after such a long time the command printed in their blood to follow this rule has weakened and the control is slowly fainting and Blair is apparently a link for them to reign as the supreme race and pay back the humans for centuries of hunting and unprovoked killing.
The Wampus Emperor recognized the Bloodline into her body as the Royal blood and choose to help her.
With this way, Blair has gain access to a whole army of angry beasts dying to rip the humans apart but Blair don’t desire to kill all humans either so she decided make a deal and first direct the army towards the three main battlefield and destroy all those who stands in her way.
And today is the day Leylin has been waiting for, has finally come, all the player are in place, the stage is set and his final plan is ready to be launched courtesy of his apprentice Blair Welbring.
‘Although you may not really burn with hatred for your criminals but I am sure you won’t let them be either.’ Leylin looked in his right direction, gazing straight at the horizon as an unreadable and slightly expectant expression appeared on his face. The ground begin to slightly shake as a line of uncountable silhouette appeared on the horizon. Leylin looked all around and he could see the same scene everywhere, after all this time of Church aggressive offense, all three battlefield have shrink by a lot and they are almost forming a circle protecting their main headquarters and base of operation. Now, they are all gathered together and the final clash is about to begin!
