Chapter 622 Each One More Eerie Than the Last
"You still got the guts to follow me? You're asking for it!" Dirk spun around, glaring at Hugo with a fierce look and letting out an angry roar. His right hand turned into a claw, radiating a terrifying aura, and he lunged for Hugo's neck.
Given the huge gap in their strength, Dirk was sure Hugo couldn't dodge. This claw would rip Hugo's neck apart, killing him in one move.
The sight of Moonhowl made Dirk reckless. No way was he letting anyone or anything stop him from getting Moonhowl, not even Cross Christianity!
But just when Dirk was sure Hugo was a goner, something crazy happened! A violent energy burst out of Hugo, shattering Dirk's fierce attack and sending him flying backward.
"What the heck? You're just a mid-level master. How's your aura suddenly getting so much stronger?" Dirk felt Hugo's power, now almost matching his own and still rising, and his face turned grim.
"You probably have no clue what this thing in my hand is. If this is all you've got, forget about Moonhowl. Just hand it over, and Cross Christianity will owe you one!" Hugo laughed triumphantly, the Cross Christianity token in his hand emitting a strange wave that enveloped him.
Dirk realized at that moment that the source of Hugo's rising power was that seemingly ordinary token—the bizarre cross causing all this.
On the giant rock atop Vast Mountain, Orla was quietly soaking up the purifying power of the moonlight. The fight between Dirk and Hugo below only made it tilt its head curiously for a moment before turning away, losing interest.
"The master's aura is getting closer, but why can't I feel the bond of the contract?" Orla was super anxious. It could feel the familiar aura coming closer, but no matter what, it couldn't find the bond that should be there.
This shouldn't be happening unless the master was really dead, which would naturally dissolve the contract. But that aura was definitely the master's.
Orla thought, 'If the master isn't dead, how could the contract's power vanish? Did the master dissolve our contract? No, it's still there. Something must be wrong!'
Orla felt the familiar aura getting closer and closer while absorbing the power of the moonlight. Not just Hugo, but Orla's power was also continuously rising.
"As expected of Moonhowl. Even though it just broke the seal and its strength is greatly reduced, it can still unleash such an astonishing aura on a full moon night with its powerful bloodline. I need to capture it quickly, or it'll be a real headache!" Hugo didn't even glance at Dirk. As soon as he finished speaking, he shot towards Orla like an arrow from a bow.
"Stop right there!" Dirk roared angrily, his face livid, and suddenly struck out with both palms towards Hugo!
At the same time, the surrounding space shook violently, and massive energy capable of tearing space erupted from Dirk's palms, enveloping Hugo.
At the critical moment, Dirk used the power of the Magic Circle! Now, Dirk had to rely on the Magic Circle's power if he had any hope of standing up to Hugo's skyrocketing strength.
"You think you can stop me with just this?" Hugo's face darkened. Sensing the terrifying aura behind him, he turned and struck out with a palm.
A sudden explosion in mid-air shook the surroundings as if tearing them apart, making the entire Vast Mountain tremble. Dirk couldn't catch his breath, and his body flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air!
He stared wide-eyed in disbelief, never expecting that even after using all his strength and borrowing the Magic Circle's power, he still couldn't defeat someone who was only mid-level master! He wondered what kind of trick Hugo was using; it was too terrifying.
At this moment, Ethan and his three companions, who had rushed up from halfway up the mountain, looked up and saw the white figure on the mountaintop.
The snow-white body, like that of a wolf king, noble and sacred, exuded an aura of inviolable dignity, deeply shocking Ethan and the others.
"This is Moonhowl, the leader of the wolf clan, the divine beast with the true bloodline inheritance!" Ethan stared intently at Moonhowl, the shock in his heart even causing his steps to falter!
At this moment, a sudden violent fluctuation in mid-air caused a thick smoke to envelop half the sky, and Moonhowl instantly disappeared.
"What a powerful aura, it actually has the destructive power of a grandmaster level!" Kenneth's face changed instantly. The aura fluctuation in mid-air made him feel difficult to withstand.
Even among grandmasters, there were differences in strength. Just like how he, a grandmaster at the initial stage, was no match for Francis at the later stage. The powerful aura on the mountaintop had now surged to a level that made him wary, meaning the opponent had at least reached mid-level grandmaster, if not stronger!
Ethan didn't have time to pay attention to Kenneth's shock. He suddenly shouted, and the Sun and Moon Beads appeared from his Sea of Qi, manifesting in front of him.
At the same time, Ethan's speed increased instantly, heading straight for the mountaintop. "You protect Patricia and Deborah, don't worry about me!" Ethan left these words behind and disappeared.
"Oh my! Ethan's aura is clearly still at the initial master level, but his speed is faster than mine, a grandmaster!" Kenneth was stunned. He thought the terrifying aura on the mountain had already opened his eyes, but Ethan's bizarre strength left him even more astonished.
Patricia and Deborah were equally shocked, staring in the direction Ethan had disappeared, unable to recover for a long time.
"The situation up there is beyond our ability to intervene. If you don't want to die, it's best to stay here and wait for Mr. Wilson's news!" Kenneth regained his composure and sternly reminded Patricia and Deborah.
As he said this, Kenneth was clearly feeling a bit guilty and helpless. As a grandmaster, he was actually intimidated by the terrifying aura above. It was quite embarrassing.
But precisely because of this, he had to stop Patricia and Deborah from going any further. If he couldn't handle the situation on the mountaintop, these two would only cause more trouble.
"Patricia, have we become Mr. Wilson's burden?" Deborah asked softly, her face full of shock.
