Spurned Luna’s Return: On Your Knees, Alpha Chase

10 minutes later…

“I guess this was a bad choice to come to explore this secret place,” Lavana said telepathically as she stopped herself from puking, by covering her mouth.

The smell in the part of the passageway they were in was really awful. Cephina didn’t reply but went back to slumber. Sure, she did have the habit of her former spirits- the love of beauty sleep.

“Relax, dear. We’re already in here. Even if we don’t find anything worthwhile, at least we get to explore,” he said after handing her a white face veil that would help with the terrible smell.

Lavana’s gemstone was no longer in sight as her mate had brought out a glowing white pearl that could surprisingly levitate. He told her that he’d cast some kind of spell on it the day he got it, so it could continually levitate, unless when its inside his spatial ring.

“Phoenix, how is it that you don’t need a veil or mask for this kind of horrible smell?” Lavana was forced to ask after wearing the veil.

“Well… I’ll explain later. We’ve got company,” he said, taking out his peacock fan in readiness.

Suddenly five creatures materialized not too far ahead of the couple- all belonging to the same species. They were giant lions that had huge golden eagle wings, blocking the duo’s path, looking ready for their prey.

“Handle these, I’ll take on the ones ahead,” Phoenix said before vanishing.

“I’ll use you guys as practice then,” she said, charging at them with a battle cry, taking off her gown in the process and transforming into her Olmpha form.

Before she could reach them in her giant form, 18 more of these creatures appeared, along with one last one that had two glowing grey horns.

‘I guess that must be the leader,’ she thought as she turned on her invisibility skill.

The creatures who were ready to pounce on their prey were stunned when they saw nothing. Then. unexpectedly, a low growl of pain was heard, compelling them to turn back.

Their leader was in mid-air, struggling to get free from the tail of a wolf sovereign that was tightly wrapped around its neck.

Angered, they flew towards the giant wolf, not in the least bothered by the fact that she was bigger than them.

Lavana’s main tail was wrapped around the creature leader’s neck while the other eight dealt with the rest.

…

A few minutes later, the 22 creatures that had been trying to kill her were dead, except for one, the leader.

She’d thought he’d been strangled to death, just like the others but just when she was about to pick up her gown, its eyes unexpectedly glowed a red colour and it got to its feet.

The two-horned lion became larger than her Olmpha size, its tail elongated and turned into a draconic tail. The horns on its head became even longer.

“Wow!” she was forced to exclaim as the gown fell from her right hand.

“You have angered me, female. I will tear you to a thousand pieces and bury your dismembered body with my minions!” she heard a masculine voice.

Her mate wasn’t here with her, just this vexed lion that had gone through some changes. The force of its roar pushed her meters away and her tails prevented her from falling to the ground.

“Go to hell!” she heard the voice again as the creature ran towards her.

She immediately became invisible, flying towards the approaching beast.

“It’s no use becoming invisible, wimp. I can f*cking see where you are,”

“Since it’s that way,” she cancelled her invisibility and launched huge fireballs at the creature in quick succession. It dodged quite a number of them but the ones that hit it only burnt a few fur before quenching.

“Cephina, wake up,”

“I’m already awake,” the latter replied. Appearing before Lavana, although invisible to the enraged beast.

“What sort of creature is this?” she was forced to ask her battle assistant.

“That is a demon lion and a conscious beast,”

“Conscious beast?” Lavana asked in befuddlement as she used her tails to throw the creature backwards by a few meters. It was really heavy, she had to admit.

Cephina continued her explanation, “Conscious beasts are very challenging to tame and even harder to kill. I think it’s as strong as a low-ranked sorcerer now that it’s shown its ultimate form,”

“What?” she exclaimed in disbelief.

“Demon beasts are usually very strong. Even a baby can be as strong as a low-ranked certified wizard, Lavana. This one couldn’t be tamed and neither killed. I guess it was just put here as a guard to prevent intruders from getting further. The others you killed are just it’s meat shield,”

“Okay. You know its weak point?”

“Same as a wolf’s,”

“Okay,”

“Defeat it without using any ability related to your other two forms,” Cephina said before going back to slumber.

“Okay,” Lavana transformed into her wolf form. This time, she wasn’t going to teleport, fly, use ice chains nor telekinesis and definitely not lightning.

‘I think she’s implying that I’ve been relying too much on my several abilities,’ she thought as she charged at the roaring conscious creature.

As they collided, a ferocious fight ensued, with the beast trying to impale the Olmpha with its horns or bite its neck deeply.

Lavana sent it flying backwards a few minutes later with many scratches from her claws and before it could stabilize itself again, she charged at it, using two of her tails to grab its wings, to prevent it from flying. The maddened lion struggled to be free, resulting in both wings being torn off as the Olmpha’s tails had used more strength at pulling.

Her tails flung the wings far away from the infuriated creature.

‘Now you won’t be flying anymore,’ Lavana thought in triumph as she pounced on the lion, the fierce fight resuming again. Despite being weakened by the loss of its wings, the lion still had much vitality to spare.

“Olmpha, I will cut off those tails of yours,”

‘Like I’m scared,’ Lavana thought as she bit its back, pulling out a chunk of flesh.

“I’m no regular Olmpha. I came here, not to die. It is your honour to serve as my punching bag temporarily, she mind linked the lion, spitting fireballs at its face.

It was forced to give some distance between them.

The fire in her Olmpha form was more potent as shown by the damage to its face. If it continued, he’d end up dying which was a shame to him- a demon lion.

“Revenge after ten years is not too late,” he said before turning around to flee.

She returned to her human form and chased after it.

“You go nowhere, big cat,” she yelled as she launched fire spheres at it

Minutes later, with the swipe of her long, sharp claws, she cut off the beast’s head successfully, her body stained with blood.

“Congratulations on taking down the conscious beast,” said the awakened Cephina, “You still have much to learn. Some abilities are yet to be unlocked. Keep training harder and one might be unlocked soon,” With that, Cephina went to sleep.

Lavana sighed and flew backwards to where she’d left the gown and picked it up.

Too bad there was no water to clean up. It was fine still; she could do that after they got out of the passageway. She flew forward, heading in the direction that she sensed Phoenix was.

Reaching there, she saw two of his copies battling numerous giant black spiders that made the demon lion she just killed look like a friendly cat in comparison.

Phoenix in question was seated on his sceptre Enzo, palms pressed together with his eyes a glowing viridian.

“Mate, you’re done with that beast?” she heard him mind link to her.

“Sullivan, aren’t you supposed to be focused on your copies at least?” she questioned.

He responded, “Don’t worry. The spiders aren’t that much of a threat. I feel we’re close to whatever it is they are meant to protect,”
