Rudra again heard the same howl which seemed to be white ire. Rudra had understood that the other wolf was quite now quite mad to take the revenge for its pack member and won't give up on Rudra easily. But in such a state Rudra couldn't afford to face another wolf of the same level. Therefore the best decision was to run away as soon as possible. Otherwise if he were to be spotted with that dead wolf, he would just be ripped apart.
Rudra was about to run away when he heard another bowl, but this time it seemed to be much closer than before, he could also hear the huge thud sounds as if something huge was running on the ground. He stopped immediately and looked around but found nothing. But through his spiritual energy he could sense some thing lurking around him.
Rudra got the sensation as if someone had its vision on him and ran around him in a circle. He even caught the glimpse of a shadow, but was too fast to track, and disappeared in an instant. Soon he heard another large thud sound from his behind.
Turning around he found a huge brown wolf standing atop a monument, with its gazes fixed at the wolf that kay beside Rudra. This sight had nearly scared the life out of Rudra. The very next moment the wolf turned it's head and glared into Rudra eyes with its cold deadly eyes. It growled very loudly describing it's intent to rip Rudra to pieces.
The wolf within a second jumped down and sprang towards Rudra. With the speed that wolf had previously shown, Rudra could estimate that this one was above the 7th stage of practitioner, which means even a single attack from that wolf to Rudra's open defense could shred his muscles and bones.
Rudra just somehow raised both of his arms and brought his rusty knife for the defense as he crossed his arms. Until then the wolf also blew it's claws against the rusty knife at the front and the tremendous force release by that caused Rudra to be thrown a few meters away.
He fell to the ground and rolled a few times before he somehow was able to stabilize himself. If not for his undisputedly durable rusty knife, that absorbed all the attack power and nearly saved Rudra from that deadly strike. Even the wolf seemed to be startled upon this sight.
But here that strain on Rudra's arms to hold the dagger, made them feel paralyzed, but Rudra quickly formed a hand mudras to strengthen his kundalini and circulated it towards his arms, making him feel better. But the wolf seemed relentless while it rushed towards Rudra.
Rudra formed some hand mudras a he had decided to use the most powerful strike. He chanted some mantra and immediately with a tremendous flow his spiritual energy flew out of his hands and began to Materialize I to a stone in front of him. Very soon that stone like thing turned out to be a huge spike.
The spike had a special shine on its surface, and it suddenly began to spin at its place in the air. Soon Rudra formed another hand mudras as if instructed that stone and with an insane speed that spike went ahead drilling through the air, smashed into the wolf that rushed at him.
That spike caused the wolf to be disbalanced as it blew against him, and the spike stone broke into different pieces as it scattered away, but within an instant all those pieces the turned into the rays of energy and flew towards that wolf.
Those rays chased that wolf and miraculously went through his head inside him, due to this the wolf who was already imbalanced shook its head, while Rudra took this opportunity and jumped aside to avoid the wolf, who not being able to stop smashed its head into the walls of a huge monument.
This collision caused the wall to break apart and crumble right upon that wolf, all those huge stonees fell upon that wolf who was now stuck, not being able to move. Unfortunately all of its body parts pressed to ground by those stones except it's back and his head.
That wolf struggled and dragged it's paws on the ground in its try to set free from those huge rocks. While Rudra here realized this could be the opening, but he also knew it wouldn't take that wolf long to set free.
Therefore using his spiritual energy he manipulated his dagger and launched it towards that wolf. Tearing through the air that knife directly went in to that wolf's b*tthole. A lot of blood sprayed out from that area as the wolf was pushed further into the pile of stones and screamed in agony.
Still half of the dagger stuck out from the wolf's butt as the wolf's internal parts seemed too strong. Rudra as an add up, recited the mantra and an energy filled his fist, which he launched and hit that daggers implying some extra power that made it dig even more inside.
This sudden shit of pain caused the wolf to awaken a little as it again howled in pain but this howl was a lot louder than the previous ones, within a sudden Rudra heard multiple howls surround across the town from different corners after this howl.
Howl*
Rudra realized that this time if he gets late, no one would save him, and then with the help of his spiritual energy somehow he pulled out his rusty dagger from that wolf's dirty a*s and turned around to run away when his eyes fell on that wolf he had killed previously.
A though struck his mind, and Rudra rushed towards the wolf and using his dagger he began to tear that wolf's body. At first Rudra completely tore apart it's abdomen, and a lot of blood flooded out and even bathed his hands.
The stinky smell that invaded Rudra nose made him feel like he would vomit right there. This feeling got worse when the blood bathed intestines and the stomach of that wolf fell out on the ground, Rudra even saw the lungs if the wolf in its chest.
After a few moments when he had ripped that whole wolf's body, Rudra somehow sliced open that wolf's head and out came a purple crystalline stone shining with a radiant purple light, making it look spectacular. Rudra grabbed that stone and ran away from that place as soon as possible.
That stone was called, "Shakti-mani", Shakti-mani was the main power core possessed by every mystical beasts. In the ranks of mystical beasts whenever they cross the first level, they get a chance to increase there power, through condensing their overflowing powers into shakti-mani within any specific part of their body.
The next time the mystical beast levels up, their Shakti-mani would also go through. Change, hence increasing their powers by huge parameters, upon upgrade they could even form some specific attacks forms of themselves and store them in their Shakti-mani, and could use them against the opponent through their Shakti-mani.
Nearly an hour later….
Rudra was walking through that empty land, where he couldn't see even a single living being, a lot of blood still gushed out of his right arm, upon the injury was tied a white cloth which squeezed his arm very tightly just to reduce the blood flow.
Rudra had already consumed a lot of Ayurvedic pills he already had to keep walking in this state and was constantly circulating his kundalini while trying to find someone for help, but even after finding for a long time didn't even find a single person.
The weakness was causing his eyes to close but his kundalini flow and the pills were giving him the energy. Although till now he had lost nearly all hope, but still kept waking in the last hope that oy the destiny could save him now.
That scratch mark from a fifth rank practitioner level wolf had led him to such a state, it won't even be a problem he had the right medicines for healing and stopping the blood flow, or even if he got some Ayurvedic herb to heal himself, or even if he found a medicine house where he could get himself treated.
Suddenly Rudra heard the sound of a lot of horses neighing together. He turned around and in that dark night all he saw were a few horses, which seemed to be pushing some with fire torches attached to them, enabling Rudra to have small glimpse of the in the night time.
Rudra face seemed to have a glow as his hope was revived, "Hey, I am here help me!", Rudra screamed at the highest of his lungs and even while he was panting he held his right arm tightly and ran towards those carriages.
After running for a minute his legs felt as if they could t walk anymore, but still Rudra tried to forcibly walk to that carriage. At last his lost his balance and fell on the ground, but still he was somehow trying to himself to that carriage.
Fortunately that carriage too was coming in his direction, very soon as the carriage neared him Rudra saw that following that carriage were a few carts and the stuff in those carts were covered with a black cloth tied very tightly.
The carriage horses were being controlled by a middle aged man. As soon as he spotted a human figure in his visible range, he raised the fire lamp kept beside him to be identify the figure properly. As soon as a proper light fell on that figure he saw a young boy heavily injured who held his right arm tightly which was filled with large scratch marks.
The driver stopped the carriage right at that place and jumped down from the carriage. Immediately two more people came out of the carriage, they ran to Rudra and instantly carried him into the carriage.
