65 The Beginning of the Battle
Flashback to the meeting
"I am going to have to ask everybody to reveal their skills, so, what are everybody's abilities?" Dracul asked the transcendents in the room.
"Excuse me Dracul, but I believe that before we tell everybody's strengths and weaknesses I think we should include all of the Lords as well," Malcolm stated. Kai laughed inwardly at his hypocrisy. He merely wanted Penelope, Sam and Jason to know what each person's weaknesses were so that if needed they would know what to strike. (He still wasn't aware that Sam had left)
Dracul looked at Malcolm with a mysterious look that caused the director to subconsciously hold his breath. After a moment, he smiled and agreed to Malcolm's request.
The rest of the Lords came inside and sat down at the large table and started the introductions. The most powerful started off, in this case, Dracul.
"My name is Dracul, I am a vampire- to be specific the first vampire. My abilities include the manipulation of light to a certain degree, increased physical strength, and telekinesis. I have another somewhat weaker ability that can protect vampires from Dahak's influence and stop his attempts at controlling them."
His introduction was short, but everybody could sense that what he had introduced wasn't nearly as much power as he was meant to have. It was obvious that he was hiding some of his more powerful abilities as an "ace up his sleeve."
After Dracul finished Morgana stood up and started her introduction. "My name is Morgana Le Fey, I have achieved an extremely high level of sorcery and can do virtually anything as long as the energy drainage isn't too large."
Kai once again noticed that she didn't actually tell anybody what her limits were, only briefly stating that energy loss was her weakness. Dracul had told Kai that the more simple the ability sounded the more powerful the ability would be.
Morgana could probably bend reality to some degree if needed, that was an insane ability that could simply change the battle. However, like she had told everyone it would result in a huge energy drain.
"The next person should start now," Dracul looked at Kai. Kai who was lost in his own thoughts returned to reality and said. "The name's Kai Natasa I am a vampire. My abilities include a transformation into a giant owl, blood manipulation and increased physical abilities."
He purposefully didn't mention that his wings could release extremely sharp feathers that could pierce through extremely tough materials like they were a hot knife cutting through butter. Or that he had magic and his soul aura, that could virtually damage any being, of course, it depended on how powerful the being's soul was.
Next was Malcolm who revealed that he was the primal wolf chief, the leader of the original werewolves. The current director informed the members of the alliance that he had superior physical abilities, increased senses and the power to control lightning.
The next was Bob who casually revealed some of his initiate Nundu abilities, mainly revolving around poison. The next was Tom who casually revealed the fact that he was proficient in offensive magic. He neglected to mention that he had the ability to communicate with snakes, the rest of the magic he could use or his vampiric abilities.
The last of the Kings was Annabelle who didn't reveal much apart from her bat transformation, rituals and the physical abilities. The rest of the Lords started to introduce their own abilities, however, Kai ignored most of them except for Penelope's introduction where she told everyone that she was a hybrid- a mix of a vampire and a werewolf.
The last person that Kai paid attention to was Jason who said that he was a primal wolf like his father. Kai stopped listening after that, as he didn't believe that the rest of the introductions would help him during the battle.
End Flashback
Kai stood on the walls along with the rest of the transcendents and watched the nearing enemy forces rapidly approaching. Each of the members of the army was transforming into their peak forms, whether they changed shapes or simply mentally prepared themselves.
Kai, in this case, released his wings and let the blood energy coat the wings in a scarlet red, making them appear to have been dipped in blood.
Malcolm transformed along with Jason into their wolf forms, letting himself grow into a 10 metre humanoid black and silver wolf. Jason was similar to him but he was only 4 metres tall and didn't have any silver markings as his father had.
Penelope was completely different compared to the former pair of wolf shifters. She was 2 metres tall with a hunched back and was completely hairless, she, however, had 2 enormous fangs coming out of her jaws that were covered in saliva. When Kai saw her, he was disgusted and inwardly thought 'well it seems that her form really does reflect her inner self.'
Bob likewise grew back into his normal form- that of a giant green tiger-like beast with a bloated neck that greatly resembled a lion's mane. Form the mane, 20 cm long poisonous thorns were hanging and ready to be released into a target if necessary.
Kai himself marvelled his current appearance and thought to himself that he looked badass. He had his signature red windbreaker on with the red feathery wings and long black hair, he was sure that he looked the part of a winged warrior.
The dragon leading Dahak's forces roared "to battle my brethren!" After doing his part he focused on Kai and flew at him.
