CHAPTER 13

Charlotte went to Ammon's room to sleep. While Ammon slept in the living room of his house. A sound of the footsteps awakened Ammon. He got up, took his celestial sword and dragged his feet to where he heard the sound. Outside, he saw two wounded bandit treasure hunters coming towards his house.

"What are bandit treasure hunters doing here?" he asked.

"Step aside, we have no business with you!" warned one of them.

"Is that so? Then I guess you want a trouble!" answered Ammon.

"We are not interested with you, warrior. You wanted your death!"

"Geez, as if you can lay your fingers me," Ammon sighed. "This is your last warning, leave this or I will dragged you out of here!" warned Ammon. "I am exhausted from my training but I can still hear your heavy footsteps on the ground." Ammon pointed his celestial sword on the two bandit treasure hunters. "Get lost or I'll show you no mercy?"

The two bandit treasure hunters exchanged glances before turning to Ammon.

"We smelled the scent of the warrioress who almost defeat us, she's gonna pay for taking our hostage, keeping her inside your home is the biggest mistake you've ever made, warrior!" yelled one of them.

"You are crazy if you think I'm gullible enough to obey your orders, unless of course if you kill me which is impossible to happen. I am one of the Zodiac warriors and you should be proud to die in my hands!" Ammon smirked.

Black smoke came out from bandit treasure hunters' body and they slowly shifted to werewolf's form. Ammon looked up and saw the moon shining brightly on the skies.

Ammon's eyes widened in shock. "I can't believe it. Are you disciples of King Abaddon? Why did you side with that cunning creature?" he wondered. "A bandit that turned into Alpha werewolf is something I have never faced before. I guess I need to measure your strength with my sword!"

"It's none of your fucking business, we need to take the girl and kill her with our hands. Because of her, we lost our reward to King Abaddon and it is certain that he will kill us the moment he finds out that our captive is gone!" Their low in pitch, deep, rough, and laryngealized voice change makes it obvious that werewolves already took control of their body.

"What are you planning to do? Are you going to take over Alabama like you did in King Solomon's kingdom?" asked Ammon.

"We don't come here to answer your f*cking questions, warriors and we are not wasting our time to talk to you," yelled one of them.

Ammon ran away from his house to keep Charlotte safe. The two berserk werewolves followed him. They threw their punches and Ammon used his shield to block their attack but they overpowered him and he sneaked into the trees.

"Impossible, that was the monstrous blow I have ever taken," said Ammon as he slowly stood up on his feet. He wiped the blood of his mouth and focus his eyes on his enemies.

A dragon emblem appeared on their forehead and they shot him with their fireballs, which Ammon quickly dodged.

"Those dragon emblem on your forehead, was your lord beforehand? Am I correct?"

"Indeed, he is the mightiest dragon Sherdon whom King Abaddon tortured with his two hands!"

Ammon charged and slashed their bodies with his celestial sword, but their bodies were tough that he can't slash through their bodies. "How is this possible? My celestial sword made by the Celestial Spirit King is one of the greatest swords ever created!"

The two werewolves smacked Ammon on the ground. He dropped his celestial sword and his shield. He was not recovered yet when one of the werewolves kicked him in the face. "If only you hadn't intervened, you still have hope to live, dumb ass!"

Ammon suddenly laughed. "And you think that I can be easily defeated by the two of you fucking idiots?"

Ammon stood up on his feet and strangled the two werewolves by the neck and threw them away. He then picked up his celestial sword and shield. "I am Ammon and I am the taurus zodiac sign. I am the toughest zodiac warrior among all of us," Ammon's muscles grew and the v-shaped pattern of his celestial sword lit up. He jumped and beheaded the two werewolves. "Just so you know, the Celestial Spirit King granted me incredible strenght that I can force my sword's blade to sharpen."

Ammon returned to his house to continue his sleep. The next day, before the sun had risen, he woke up to prepare ginger bread and tea for Charlotte. Charlotte woke up when she smell the aroma of the ginger bread.

"It's good to be awake, Charlotte!"

"Thank you very much, Ammon. I wish I had woken up earlier so that I could have taken care of your food!"

"Don't think about it, by the way, there were two bandit treasure hunters who attacked me a while ago. They are strong and very angry to you because you rescued a hostage!"

"B-maybe they just made a mistake, I have nothing to do with what they say!" Charlotte lied. Then maybe they're talking about another warrioress!"

"Well, I don't trust what they were saying." Ammon took his shield and his sword hanging on the wall near the kitchen.

"I'm leaving, because Prince Arthur strictly instructed us that we need to go to our training earlier. Do you want to come with me or do you want to stay at my home?"

"The latter, I would like to be in your home, don't worry, I can handle myself and I'll make sure I'll be safe!"

"Then I'll go first," Ammon pulled out his black digger knife and threw it at Charlotte who caught it. "Use that knife and throw it on the faces of anyone who wants to hurt you!"

Charlotte suddenly remembered Alexander from what Ammon told her. She hid it in her waist and Ammon left.
