The Narrow Hills…


    Unlike the elemental ne, the beast ne was like a typical with season changes and all that. Like in any, depending on their needs and physiology, different beasts adapted to different habitats.


    In the beast ne, mostrge wolf circles were concentrated in the hilly and mountainous regions, Ak''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 Ak 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 mega 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.


    Thest of the 2 mega peaks was the Narrow Hills that was helmed by the mighty Thunder Wolf, Yukon, the original Wolf Overlord of this region.


    Yukon''s kingdom in the Narrow Hills was unlike anything that Ak had ess to. Unlike Ak who recently became a Grade C Wolf, this powerful wolf had ruled as an overlord at the Grade C realm for over a decade already.


    During this time, 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 came 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 immediate targets that Ak could set his eyes on, but he decided on going after it nheless.


    This was not arrogance, Ak went for it because he had the means to go all the way through. With Lucky''s assistance and his master suddenlying to help, to the Wind Wolf, the conquest was already a forgone conclusion.


    This time, Warg had to make way for Redmane to be the Battle Commander.


    The Red Fox already formed the ultimate n 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 time.


    Unlike the Narrow Hills with only 2 Grade C Wolves as the peakbatants, on Ak''s side, there were 4 Grade C peakbatants!


    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 seemed like it was going to be like any other day when a mighty rushing wind suddenly came in from the far east.


    Whoosh!


    Unlike before, Ak truly seemed to be a wind envoy, this mighty Wind Wolf became one with the wind as he disappeared in its ethereal form.


    All the borate defensive measures of the Wolf Kingdom were rendered useless before his wind form, Afterall, traps could not hold down wind.


    Wind was formless and ethereal.


    Ak triggered all the lethal traps without being caught in anyone of them, in no time, he was standing before the first giant rock in this hill.


    On top the rock, Ak stood tall as he howled.


    "Awooo…!!!"


    "Specialty Ability: Devastating Nature Call!"


    Instantly after Ak howled, it was like the God of Storms descended!


    BOOM!


    Unlike the previous nature call, the devastating nature call was much more deadly. Under Ak''s control, the natural wind energy in the air was manipted to create a mighty and forceful hurricane, dealing a lot of damage.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The immediate defenses of Yukon''s wolves were immediately set in disarray.


    The sound of the ravaging hurricane became the cue that Ak''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 time 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 st!


    Warning! You have been affected by an ability: Catalyst; Wolf Howl!


    ----


    The mighty Sound Wolf came 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 came out, Redmane.


    The brown eyes of this Red Fox were calm and calcting.


    "Redmane Specialty: Shadow Vortex!"


    "Redmane Specialty: Shadow Devour!"


    Bzzz!


    The next moment, a vortex opened in mid-air, extending a node to the ethereal shadow dimension. Before Krishna could understand what was going on, a pull was felt from the shadow dimension as it sucked away all sound.


    For a second, everyone felt like they were stuck in a vacuum.


    This measure seeded in rendering the mighty Sound Wolf powerless.


    In this second, Redmane seeded in sucking away all the sound.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Redmane was not done though, his calm eyes remained calcting.


    "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, Legs was amazed and curious. "Luck Anchor? Luck Envoy? Seriously…? Lucky, tell me, you must tell me now!"


    "Chill, I will". She smirked. "Augment Ak first".


    Legs did not hesitate.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Commander of the Herd!


    ----


    Even as Ak felt more power flow through him from Legs, he also felt something else as with Lucky as the anchor, he experienced a feeling like he suddenly became 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…" Ak 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 de!"


    Boom!


    Space was rent apart to let the de pass through!


    This time, the enemy wolves definitely did not see iting as it seemed toe out of nowhere, a space de appeared that tore an even deeper hole through their defenses.


    With this, they were thoroughly exposed.


    The Sound Wolf tried to attack again but Ak easily kept her in check. Ak 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 Ak keeping the powerful Sound Wolf at bay and Redmane wreaking their defenses, the Narrow Hills became 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, Legs at the back with Lucky listened to prime gist.


    "So, I was taken to this ind outside our".


    "Woah!"


    "There were so many Foxes there, it was like an alternate version of 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 me around the gigantic pce, that was when I learned that the space ind 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 me in as her student and taught me personally".


    "…!" Legs was growing increasingly more damaged.


    "She was so good and caring to me, she thought me a lot about my potential".


    "…"


    "I didn''t want toe back, I did only because I felt your distress when you were captured for torture at the hands of that Clown".


    "…" Legs was speechless.


    "Seriously?"


    "You experienced all that?"


    "Why would I lie to you?" Lucky seemed offended at his doubt.


    "INSOLENCE!"


    "WHO DARES TO INTRUDE INTO MY TERRITORY?!"


    Redmane sneered. "Like master, like student".


    Even as Lucky bbered on and Legs 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,'' Ak was relieved as he stared straight at the Thunder Wolf.


    "Forget the games, it''s not working, I''m not intimidated".


    "…"


    "I challenge you to a Vrka Yuddha".


    Ak was ruthlessly straightforward, Yukon simply stared back at him.
