Doomsday Pillars

Tap tap tap tap tap

In a forest full of trees and filled with snow, a man was running as hard as he could.

Behind him, roars of savage beasts followed him not far.

Wargs, creatures that appeared similar to wolves. Not only its physical attributes but as well as their motif of hunting in groups. Their sharp ears and sensitive noses could easily find and hunt their prey.

30 wargs were chasing a tall, thin man with short silver hair. This man was Chicken, one of the four sworn brothers of the head of the Hong Kong Triad. But even though he appeared to be in danger, Chicken was laughing as hard as he could.

"Smelly beasts! Chase me, I'm over here! Smelly beasts! Don't tell me you're that slow!"

Chicken was a wind spirit enhancer and could run the fastest among all his brothers.. And although the forest was full of fallen trunks, large rocks, and gigantic trees, he easily managed to keep his distance from the creatures chasing his tail.

A couple of minutes passed by and Chicken stopped his tracks. He turned around with a smirk as the closest warg lunged at him. 

Ssshhttt... Pa!

A spear shot down from above the tree and pierced the head of the warg an inch away from Chicken's face.

Chicken stared at the back of the tattooed man holding a spear.

"Ta Ke(brother), wahh... if you were a second late I would've lost my head!" Chicken said, wiping off his sweat.

"Hmm... Headless Chicken... that seems a more suitable nickname for you."

"Ta Ke, how could you!"

The rest of the wargs lunged at Nam and Chicken, but they all met the same fate as dozens of fighters simultaneously attacked from the top of the trees.

Christina, Maxine and the other peak mortal realm fighters.

Slashh! Splaatt!

Christina with a sword slash, Maxine with her iron staff and Nam with his spear. Under the siege and ambush of these fighters, the 30 beasts who had been chasing Chicken were all dead in less than five minutes.

After the battle was over, an old man wearing a police uniform pulled his notes from his inner pockets and showed them a location.

"Okay, you already know what to do next."

"Yes, Inspector Tang!"

Without wasting time, the rest of the fighters immediately prepared for the next ambush.

Christina walked over to Chicken and said, "That's the fourth group. You better take a breather and I'll sub for you."

"Waaa, Miss Christina, I am overjoyed that you care about me. Looks like you were fascinated by my charm already," exclaimed Chicken with a naughty smile.

Maxine popped a vein and said, "Filthy pervert! Don't be impolite!"

Nam stepped in and said, "Miss Christina, leave it. Chicken's our fastest runner. Besides, you need to save your strength for the next fight. We need you at full strength if we are to face the Fenrir in the next ambush."

"I understand."

Since dawn, the combined fighters of Firebirds, Triad, and the Hong Kong Police had been using this tactic against the beasts and had eliminated over a hundred wargs with minimum casualties thanks to the aromatic herbs they had found in the forest.

They had covered themselves with these herbs, and the herbs' scent masked their smells effectively negating the wargs sense of smell. Thus, the beasts kept on falling into the trap they had prepared. It was also because of this plant that Inspector Tang and his men were able to hide from the wargs for the past 6 days.

"How did you know about this plant, inspector?"

"Haha, it's just a coincidence. Of course, being at my age has its own advantages," smiled the old man.

"Come on, we can't stay here for long. Spread out before the next group of wargs finds us."

"Understood!"

The rest of the fighters moved toward the new location of the trap while Chicken was back on duty to lure the next group of wargs.

Time quickly passed and afternoon had arrived. They had successfully killed over 200 wargs. Inspector Tang seemed to believe that they had succeeded in killing nearly half of the total wargs in this forest.

In each fight, Christina had constantly kept an eye on the strange bracelet coiled around her arm. Eight battles had already passed, but the alpha's position on the sensor hadn't even moved an inch.

"Why is it not moving?" Christina said to herself. She then looked at Inspector Tang and shook her head.

After facing success after success, the morale and spirit of the fighters were at its peak. However, Christina knew that as long as Fenrir their real objective was still alive, each battle was somewhat futile.

Christina looked at her tired comrades. Even though they were peak mortal realm fighters, fighting these wargs were not a walk in the park. Dozens of fighters had already fallen unconscious, some unable to fight due to injuries, and some needed to rest.

She touched the strange bracelet and checked the mission objective. They only had four hours left to kill the Alpha Fenrir Wolf and complete this mission.

"I wish we had more time," Christina said as she sighed.

"Miss Christina... I suggest we stop this," said Inspector Tang.

"..."

Inspector Tang is a very careful man, seeing the condition of the injured and tired fighters, he feels too risky to continue the fight.

"Miss Christina… looks like Fenrir isn't such a simple creature, pushing ourselves at this point is too risky.. We did our best. But it's time for us to give up "

Hearing this, Chicken immediately exclaimed ..

"Give up!! POKAI !! No No No! "

Not only Chicken, the other triad members were also upset ..

Inspector Tang shook his head and looked at their leader Nam ..

"Inspector .. My brothers are not willing to stop now. We haven't quite got enough revenge on those who have died"

"Brother Nam .. you need to be wiser in leading your members. There are only a few of you strong enough to fight. Do not send their lives to the hereafter "

Hearing this, Nam's usually calm expression changed ..

"... We are fine on our own.. We always did" 

Nam clenched his fists tightly remembering his childhood being the victim of corrupt police. His father who was a member of the police was betrayed by his colleague and then brought disaster in his family so that he had to grow up on the streets. Since childhood, he used to try his luck with his brothers and he never needed police help. 

"If you are afraid to die ... you guys should just come back .."

These words provoked the members of the police force, but Inspector Tang held them back. Nam turned to look at Christina ..

"How about you Miss Christina .. Are you going to continue or come back?"

Christina thought for a moment… she realized their current state and supported the inspector's idea. But Christina is also worried that Nam and his brothers would do something reckless ..

On the other hand, there was a voice in her heart that wanted to know the secret behind the mission given by the foreign pillar. Until now she still didn't believe that this foreign pillar would only bring them calamity.

"We'd better not split up ... but if we have to choose, I agree to keep trying until the end ... Inspector can I entrust those who are injured to you?"

"Very well. Miss Christina, be careful ..."

Christina can see that Nam's face has immediately brightened up, behind his indifferent attitude, Nam actually needs the help of the firebirds to continue this mission.

Only 30 more members continue the mission. This time following the direction of the foreign bracelet's directions, they slowly approached the alpha Fenrir's location.

After walking for more than 30 minutes they finally found the monster's lair.
