Fated To The Cursed Werewolf King

Lady Mira turned her head when she noticed an old woman approaching her. The woman looked even older than her, with a bent back, grey hair, and a tall wooden staff in her hand.

Lady Mira raised a brow.

She wasn’t someone who enjoyed fighting, and she wasn’t as skilled as the other wolves when it came to physical combat. However, she knew enough about magic to recognise the dangerous energy coming from the old woman.

”You are the one manipulating Zeke,” she said with a frown.

The old woman chuckled. She looked at Lady Mira from head to toe before resting both hands on her staff.

”I heard you have the ability to summon the goddess. Thank heaven, I can summon something like that too.”

Before Lady Mira could reply, the woman suddenly moved.

Her old body disappeared from where she stood, and in the next second, she appeared right in front of Lady Mira. She grabbed her by the neck and lifted her slightly from the ground.

”You stupid old woman!” she growled, tightening her grip. ”Are you the reason most gods and goddesses chose your side? Demons existed before wolves!”

Lady Mira struggled to breathe. She grabbed the woman’s wrist, but she couldn’t free herself. The demon woman was much stronger than her old appearance suggested.

”Do you think your goddess will save you?” the woman mocked. ”You wolves have forgotten your place!”

She tightened her grip.

Lady Mira’s face began turning golden. A strange light spread from her forehead, covering her cheeks and neck. Her lips moved as she began chanting words that sounded too old for anyone to understand.

The ground trembled. The clouds above them gathered, and the sky began rumbling as if a great storm was coming. Golden symbols appeared in the air, spreading across the battlefield like a giant spiritual formation.

The demon woman’s smile disappeared. ”What are you doing?”

A huge transparent golden hand suddenly appeared above them.

It came down with incredible force and struck the demon woman, throwing her several metres away. Her body crashed into the ground, creating a large hole.

Lady Mira dropped to her knees, coughing as she held her neck. She took a few deep breaths before slowly standing again.

”You may have forgotten that I’m half wolf,” she said with a small smirk.

The demon woman pushed herself out of the hole. Her eyes were filled with anger, and the wooden staff in her hand began shaking.

”Half wolf?” she repeated. ”You old fool! You should have stayed with your kind instead of interfering in a battle that has nothing to do with you.”

Lady Mira raised her chin. ”This battle concerns everyone who wants to destroy the balance of the immortal world.”

She struck the bottom of her staff against the ground. A black circle appeared beneath her feet, spreading across the earth like spilled ink. The sky above her turned dark, and several cracks of black energy appeared in the air.

Suddenly, hands began reaching out from the black circle.

One after another, dark spirits emerged. Some had long arms and twisted bodies, while others looked like giant birds with black wings and glowing red eyes. Their bodies were made of dark smoke, but their presence carried a heavy pressure that made the surrounding trees shake.

The old woman raised her staff.”Come out, my children! Show this foolish wolf the power of the ancient demons!”

The spirits released terrible screams before rushing toward Lady Mira.

Lady Mira brought her palms together. ”Golden heavens, open your gates. Let the light of the ancient goddess answer my call!”

A golden seal appeared beneath her feet. It expanded into a huge circle covered with glowing symbols, and a pillar of golden light shot into the sky.

The light spread across the battlefield.

From within it, countless golden chains appeared. They moved like living creatures, wrapping around the approaching dark spirits and pulling them apart. Some disappeared immediately, while others struggled and released terrible screams.

The demon woman narrowed her eyes. ”Not bad.”

She waved her staff, and the dark spirits suddenly broke free from the golden chains. Their bodies turned into black smoke before gathering together again.

Lady Mira frowned.

They were very veryyyy annoying!!!! Even when she destroyed them, they kept returning as long as the demon woman continued supplying them with energy.

The old woman noticed her expression and laughed. ”Your light can destroy them, but can you destroy all of them before your energy runs out?”

She raised her staff again.

The dark spirits spread in different directions, surrounding Lady Mira from every side. Some attacked from the sky, while others rushed toward her from the ground.

Lady Mira lifted both hands, and a golden barrier appeared around her body just as the spirits crashed into it.

Their claws scratched against the barrier, creating loud sounds that echoed across the battlefield. One spirit opened its mouth and released a stream of black flames, but the golden barrier pushed it away.

Lady Mira closed her eyes and continued chanting.

A huge golden figure slowly appeared behind her. It looked like a woman wearing a long robe, with a bright crown on her head. Her face was hidden by the light, but her presence alone forced the dark spirits to retreat.

The demon woman stopped laughing.

”The goddess may not be standing here in person, but her power is still with me.” The golden figure raised one hand.

A massive golden palm appeared above the battlefield, and countless golden swords formed around it. With a movement of its fingers, the swords shot toward the dark spirits.

The battlefield became filled with golden light.

One spirit after another was pierced and destroyed. Their screams echoed through the air as their bodies turned into black dust.

The demon woman gritted her teeth and struck her staff against the ground again.

A huge black beast emerged from the darkness. It had the body of a wolf, the head of a demon, and several glowing red eyes. Its mouth opened, releasing a wave of dark energy that swallowed the golden swords.

Lady Mira’s eyes widened.The black beast rushed toward the golden figure, and both creatures collided in the air.

BOOM!

A powerful explosion shook the battlefield. Dust and broken stones flew in every direction, while the dark energy spread across the ground.

The golden figure staggered, but it didn’t disappear.

Lady Mira’s knees almost gave way. She could feel her energy running low, and the golden light around her body was becoming weaker.

The demon woman noticed it immediately. ”Look at you! You can barely stand!”

Lady Mira raised one trembling hand, and the golden figure behind her began shining brighter. Several golden chains shot out from its body and wrapped around the black beast.

The beast struggled, releasing another wave of dark energy, but the chains refused to break.

The demon woman tried to pull it away with her staff. ”Release my beast!”

Lady Mira slowly lowered her hand. ”Your darkness has had enough time.”

The golden figure suddenly closed its fist. The chains tightened around the black beast, and golden light spread across its entire body. The beast released a deafening scream before breaking into pieces of black smoke.

The demon woman stared in disbelief. Before she could summon another creature, a golden sword appeared above her head.

Her eyes widened.

She tried to raise her staff, but a golden chain wrapped around her wrist and pulled it away. Another chain caught her legs, forcing her to the ground.

”No! Get this thing away from me!”

Lady Mira struggled to keep her hand raised. Her entire body was shaking, and blood slowly ran from the corner of her mouth.

But she didn’t stop.The golden sword came down. It pierced through the demon woman’s chest, and a bright light spread across her body. The dark energy surrounding her began disappearing, leaving nothing behind but a weak old woman who could no longer move.

The golden chains slowly faded. Lady Mira stood still for a moment, breathing heavily. She had used almost all her energy, but the demon woman was finally defeated.

She took one step forward. Her knees suddenly gave way. Lady Mira fell to the ground, and the golden figure behind her disappeared completely.... She sighed softly. It has been long since she used this stuff.
