Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2961

Viktor was blasted away by a massive ball of holy light, his chest torn open with flesh exposed. He slammed hard into the black castle wall, his pupils narrowed and stretched vertically, turning feral.

With a roar, his clothes exploded off his body, and a massive wolf beast emerged from his transformation.

It was a full werewolf transformation!

He still maintained a humanoid shape, but his head had now become a vicious wolf's head.

After letting out a bloodthirsty howl, Viktor shot forward, instantly crashing into Kass. The latter grunted and was sent flying several hundred yards. Before he could even flip back to his feet, the massive werewolf had already rushed up to him, slamming its claw down with earth-shattering force.

Kass' hardened face showed no fear. He dodged the killing blow, then leaped into the air as white light wrapped around his fist and smashed downward.

But in response, Viktor clamped his jaws around him. Dragging Kass with savage force, he slammed him brutally into the ground.

Loud explosions sounded, and a crater over 20 feet deep formed instantly at the center of the battlefield.

Kass lay at the bottom, his body soaked in blood and his eyes bulging.

Viktor, now a true beast, turned into a blood-crazed berserker and charged into the Cathedral army. Wherever he went, soldiers were crushed or torn apart without count.

His massive jaws tore through bodies, spraying blood like a storm and plunging the battlefield into chaos.

Hearing the screams echoing around him, Kass spat out another mouthful of blood. Pain and sorrow filled his face, mixed with deep compassion. Though still lying flat, his body slowly began to rise from the crater.

Suddenly, a column of light emerged from within him, lifting him higher and higher into the air.

Viktor sensed a deadly threat and immediately stopped his slaughter of the army. He turned toward Kass in the sky, letting out a threatening roar.

Within the pillar of light, Kass slowly stood upright as the blood on his face evaporated under the holy glow.

"Please, my Lord, grant me strength. Cleanse this world of darkness and wash away all corruption!"

They charged out of the city gates, attacking the army outside. These wolf beasts were not werewolves, but just pure animals. However, carrying werewolf bloodlines, they were even more vicious.

Soon, the Cathedral army's advantage was stripped away once again. Correspondingly, screams rang out as they began to show signs of defeat.

Kass' heart raged with fury. "I offer my blood, my flesh, and everything I am to the Lord! May You descend and punish these sinners and save Your faithful!"

For the third time on the battlefield, he prayed. A towering pillar of light descended from the heavens, far greater than before, and engulfed him.

Kass' presence surged endlessly, and Viktor, who had held the upper hand, was crushed once more. He grabbed Viktor by the head and hurled the werewolf violently toward the ground.

Viktor crashed down in a cloud of dust, struggling back to his feet and roaring defiantly at the sky.

Kass' gaze turned ice-cold as the holy emblem in his hand, wrapped in blazing light, stabbed straight into Viktor's eye.
