The Narrow Hills…
Unlike the elental plane, the beast plane was like a typical planet with season changes and all that. Like in any planet, depending on their needs and physiology, different beasts adapted to different habitats.
In the beast plane, most large wolf circles were concentrated in the hilly and mountainous regions, Akela's Steep Hills was an easy example.
The Steep Hills was not a solitary hill though.
At different directions around this hill, there were other hills that were equally dominated by either other powerful wolves like Akela or powerful beasts of different species.
In the 4 different directions surrounding the Steep Hills, there were 5 major hills dominated by different powerful beasts.
Of the 5 though, only 2 were ga packs led by Grade C Monsters.
The first was the Gorging Clouds, the territory of the mighty Golden-Feathered Eagle. This mutated Golden Eagle mutated after years of growing through countless battles, she ruled over this peak.
The last of the 2 ga peaks was the Narrow Hills that was held by the mighty Thunder Wolf, Yukon, the original Wolf Overlord of this region.
Yukon's kingdom in the Narrow Hills was unlike anything that Akela had access to. Unlike Akela who recently beca a Grade C Wolf, this powerful wolf had ruled as an overlord at the Grade C realm for over a decade already.
During this ti, not only did he manage to amass a ridiculously huge army that could fight on his behalf, he managed to groom another Grade C Wolf.
Since this Wolf ca from under him, she submitted to him.
Krishna, the Sound Wolf was Yukon's most trusted subordinate.
The Narrow Hills was undoubtedly the hardest of all the imdiate targets that Akela could set his eyes on, but he decided on going after it nonetheless.
This was not arrogance, Akela went for it because he had the ans to go all the way through. With Lucky's assistance and his master suddenly coming to help, to the Wind Wolf, the conquest was already a forgone conclusion.
This ti, Warg had to make way for Redmane to be the Battle Commander.
The Red Fox already ford the ultimate plan to pull them through.
The Narrow Hills had deep foundations and defenses that were fine-tuned for over decades already. It was not called the Narrow Hills without concept, the only way to Tukon's territory was through a narrow road up the hill.
This road was not only filled with traps set by the Dark Wolves in Tukon's kingdom, but it was also heavily defended by wolves.
The advantages of this narrow road over the years deterred literally every and any rival from ever attempting to raid Tukon's territory.
Well, not this ti.
Unlike the Narrow Hills with only 2 Grade C Wolves as the peak combatants, on Akela's side, there were 4 Grade C peak combatants!
That afternoon, the pinkish rays as the violet skies baptized the Narrow Hills in their glow was especially bright. All the wolves in this vibrant hilly ecosystem continued with their martial activities even as they preyed on other beasts.
It seed like it was going to be like any other day when a mighty rushing wind suddenly ca in from the far east.
Whoosh!
Unlike before, Akela truly seed to beco a wind envoy, this mighty Wind Wolf beca one with the wind as he disappeared in its ethereal form.
All the elaborate defensive asures of the Wolf Kingdom were rendered useless before his wind form, Afterall, traps could not hold down wind.
Wind was formless and ethereal.
Akela triggered all the lethal traps without being caught in anyone of them, in no ti, he was standing before the first giant rock in this hill.
On top the rock, Akela stood tall as he howled.
"Awooo…!!!"
"Specialty Ability: Devastating Nature Call!"
Instantly after Akela howled, it was like the God of Storms descended!
BOOM!
Unlike the previous nature call, the devastating nature call was much more deadly. Under Akela's control, the natural wind energy in the air was manipulated to create a mighty and forceful hurricane, dealing a lot of damage.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The imdiate defenses of Yukon's wolves were imdiately set in disarray.
The sound of the ravaging hurricane beca the cue that Akela's subordinates needed as thousands of wolves started charging up this hill.
With the enemy wolves still in disarray, they were unable to form a proper defense to curb this invasion on ti as they climbed up the Narrow Hills. Before they got to the top though, a powerful voice reverberated.
"INSOLENCE!"
"HOW DARE YOU DESECRATE LORD YUKON'S SANCTUM?!"
This loud and powerful voice was followed with substance.
-----
Warning! You have been affected by an ability: Sound Saturation!
Warning! You have been affected by an ability: Sound Blast!
Warning! You have been affected by an ability: Catalyst; Wolf Howl!
----
The mighty Sound Wolf ca out!
Krishna took one step forward and howled loudly.
"Awoo!"
Instantly, it was like the floodgates of all sound was opened!
"Whooo…!"
Before the devastating power of sound could fully materialize and deal untold damage to the wolf army though, another opponent ca out, Redmane.
The brown eyes of this Red Fox were calm and calculating.
"Redmane Specialty: Shadow Vortex!"
"Redmane Specialty: Shadow Devour!"
Bzzz!
The next mont, a vortex opened in mid-air, extending a node to the ethereal shadow dinsion. Before Krishna could understand what was going on, a pull was felt from the shadow dinsion as it sucked away all sound.
For a second, everyone felt like they were stuck in a vacuum.
This asure succeeded in rendering the mighty Sound Wolf powerless.
In this second, Redmane succeeded in sucking away all the sound.
Redmane was not done though, his calm eyes remained calculating.
"Boss Lucky, now!"
Lucky was casual about it. "Lucky Specialty: Luck Anchor!"
"Lucky Specialty: Luck Envoy!"
Bzzz!
A power of a very mysterious affinity descended!
Feeling this energy, Legolas was amazed and curious. "Luck Anchor? Luck Envoy? Seriously…? Lucky, tell , you must tell now!"
"Chill, I will". She smirked. "Augnt Akela first".
Legolas did not hesitate.
-----
You have activated active ability: Commander of the Herd!
----
Even as Akela felt more power flow through him from Legolas, he also felt sothing else as with Lucky as the anchor, he experienced a feeling like he suddenly beca an anchor for Lucky to spread his luck hallow.
His eyes widened in shock and realization of the new mysterious changes.
"I feel… lucky".
"Hehe…" Akela and Redmane were instantly elevated into an unprecedented state unlike anything that they had encountered before now.
The Red Fox made another move.
"Spatial Ability: Space Blade!"
Boom!
Space was rent apart to let the blade pass through!
This ti, the enemy wolves definitely did not see it coming as it seed to co out of nowhere, a space blade appeared that tore an even deeper hole through their defenses.
With this, they were thoroughly exposed.
The Sound Wolf tried to attack again but Akela easily kept her in check. Akela may be new to the Grade C realm but he was definitely no normal wolf, Predator's hallow alone already rubbed off him, also, he was an Emperor Wolf!
With Akela keeping the powerful Sound Wolf at bay and Redmane wreaking their defenses, the Narrow Hills beca vulnerable unlike ever before.
"Charge in!" Redmane gave the order.
"Awoo!"
"Awoo!"
"Awoo!"
With Warg leading the charge, the thousands of wolves rushed up the hill while encountering little to no resistance. Every wolf that recovered fast enough to intercept them didn't survive Warg, Bone, and the Rogue brothers.
While this happened, Legolas at the back with Lucky listened to pri gist.
"So, I was taken to this island outside our planet".
"Woah!"
"There were so many Foxes there, it was like an alternate version of Planet Darvis, Foxes were the boss while every other race were the servants".
Lucky turned to look at him with a smirk. "Including humans".
"Huh?"
She chuckled. "I was greeted by a blue amiable Fox, she showed around the gigantic palace, that was when I learned that the space island as a whole was owned by the Illusion Emperor, a Grade S Fox".
"Ahh…!"
"Hihihi". Lucky chuckled on seeing her father's shocked expression. "I was so amazed by everything".
"Compared to her, you are like a bug, you're too weak".
"…"
"She was the one that I was privileged to get her inheritance, and guess what? She took in as her student and taught personally".
"…!" Legolas was growing increasingly more damaged.
"She was so good and caring to , she thought a lot about my potential".
"…"
"I didn't want to co back, I did only because I felt your distress when you were captured for torture at the hands of that Clown".
"…" Legolas was speechless.
"Seriously?"
"You experienced all that?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Lucky seed offended at his doubt.
"INSOLENCE!"
"WHO DARES TO INTRUDE INTO MY TERRITORY?!"
Redmane sneered. "Like master, like student".
Even as Lucky blabbered on and Legolas listened, the battle progressed, now the real ruler of this hill was finally forced out. Like his student's entrance, Yukon tried to be as bombastic as possible as he charged out.
He tried to intimidate them but unfortunately it was not working.
'Finally,' Akela was relieved as he stared straight at the Thunder Wolf.
"Forget the gas, it's not working, I'm not intimidated".
"…"
"I challenge you to a Vrka Yuddha".
Akela was ruthlessly straightforward, Yukon simply stared back at him.
