On the hill, the black fur wolf looked down at Loki Town as he clenched the giant black bladed axe with the black aura surrounding him and his axe.

    A sinister smirk appeared on his face.

    “It’s time to meet the locals,” The black fur wolf said as he began to laugh.

     “HOOWWWWLL!” The black wolf howled.

      The town’s people heard a loud howl. 

      “Alright, who’s drunk in the tavern again?” one of the hundr (dog) town’s people asked.

      A young hundr female shrugged.

      The black fur wolf began to make his way into the town.

      Back on the dirt path, Sabito looked back at Genghis Quack and the Hundr Warriors.

      “I can sense the black aura in this direction, which means the mysterious force is about to attack the town,” Sabito said.

       Lady Thyra gritted her teeth. “Darn it! Then we need to hurry!” she said as the group began to speed up. 

      Birger nodded. “Yes, Lady Thyra!” he said.

      The black fur wolf had one of the townspeople by the throat.

     “I’m looking for something important, and you will tell me what I need to know, or I’ll burn this town to the ground just like I did those other villages,” the black fur wolf said as the male hundr was squirming.

     The black fur wolf slammed the male hundr on the ground.

     “AHHHH!” he screamed in pain as the black fur wolf stepped on his chest. 

      “I’m only going to say this once, where is the Hundr warriors HQ?” the black fur wolf asked.

       A child hundr (dog) picked up a rock and threw it at the black fur wolf.

      “Leave our town alone, you bully,” the young female hundr said as the black fur wolf caught the rock.

      His eyes glared toward the young child.

      His glare slowly became a smirk, soon followed by laughter. 

      “I’ve been to a couple of these villages, and that kid is the only crazy, brave one I’ve come across,” The black fur wolf said.

       The male hundr looked over at his daughter.

       “Sigrid! Get out of here!” the male hundr named Aesir said as the black fur wolf looked back at him.

       “So you know this kid?” he asked. 

      Aesir nodded. “Yes, it’s my daughter, please don’t hurt her,” he pleaded.

      The black fur wolf pulled Sigrid and grabbed her by the throat.

      “Then you will tell me the location of the Hundr Warrior HQ, or you can say goodbye to your daughter, and trust me, the howling wolf of death isn’t someone to play with,” the black fur wolf said as Aesir gulped.

       The black fur wolf smirked as a purple claw blast formed in his other hand.

       “Can’t do it, huh?” The black fur wolf asked as he got ready to stab Sigrid with the attack.

       “NOOO! DON’T!” Aesir shouted.

       Sabito kicked the black fur wolf in the jaw, making him drop Sigrid.

      Sabito caught Sigrid.

      The townspeople looked surprised as Genghis Quack and the hundr warriors arrived.

      The black fur wolf stood up.

      “I can’t believe it's an actual rabbit,” he said as he turned to face Sabito.

       Aesir looked at Sabito.

       Sabito gave Sigrid to her father, Aesir.

     “You should get to safety,” Sabito said. 

        Genghis Quack’s eyes widened. “That presence,” he said.

        “Sabito, you can’t fight him,” Genghis Quack said as Lady Thyra looked at him.

       “You know that wolf or something?” Lady Thyra asked.

        “I know of him,” Genghis Quack said.

        “He’s the howling wolf of death known as Shi,” Genghis Quack said as the Hundr Warriors gasped because they thought he was only a myth.

       “Are you saying that’s Shi over there?” Gunnar asked.

      Genghis Quack nodded. “Yes, I can never forget that look, especially since I’m the one who sliced out his other eye,” Genghis Quack said as Lady Thyra glanced at him.

       “You can beat him?” Lady Thyra asked.

      “No, I can’t,” Genghis Quack said.

     “But you said you cut his eye out,” Lady Thyra said.

      “I got a lucky shot. I’m trying to tell Sabito to get back because he’s the presence and the one holding all of that black aura from the villages here and from that day in the Noah Forest,” Genghis Quack explained. 

       Sabito unsheaths his katana.

       Shi looked at Sabito. “So, a rabbit is going to take on the howling wolf of death?” Shi asked.

       Sabito clenched his katana. 

       “You caused enough damage to this place,” Sabito said.

       Shi smirked as he held his axe.

      “You don’t know how outmatched you are,” Shi said.

      Sabito glared. “I don’t care, I will defeat you,” he said.

      Sabito looked back at Genghis Quack and the Hundr Warriors.

      “I’ll fight him,” Sabito said.

       Lady Thyra’s eyes widened. “Are you crazy?” she asked.

        Shi smirked as the black aura began to rise.

        “The rabbit will get no argument from me,” Shi said.

         Sabito glared.

        Genghis Quack looked over at Sabito. “Sabito, you might want to reconsider,” he said.

         Sabito looked at Genghis Quack. “If I reconsider then he’ll just continue to destroy other places,” Sabito explained.

        Sabito aimed his katana at Shi.

       “Let’s begin this,” Sabito said.

      “Hehe, let’s see how long you last, rabbit,” Shi said.

       Sabito and Shi stood across from each other as the others watched.

      Sabito ran at Shi.

     Shi swung his axe.

     Sabito jumped over the axe.

     Sabito swung his katana.

     Shi blocked Sabito’s katana with his axe.

       Sabito gritted his teeth.

       Shi easily pushed Sabito back.

       Sabito stumbled back but kept his footing.

       Lady Thyra watched intensely.

       Sabito glared.

       Shi looked at Sabito. 

      “Still standing, I'm impressed,” he said.

     “Save your compliments,” Sabito said as he lunged toward Shi.

        Shi laughed and held up his axe.

        Sabito’s katana clashed.

        Sabito gritted his teeth.

       “You really want to keep testing your strength with me?” Shi asked.

        Sabito tried to push Shi back.

        Shi started to push Sabito back.

        Sabito’s eyes began to change color.

        Lady Thyra and her hundr warriors looked over at Sabito as his eyes became bloodshot red.

       Red aura began to surround Sabito.

       Shi’s eyes narrowed as he saw the red aura around Sabito.

       “T-that power…,” Shi said.

       Sabito pushed Shi back.

      “GAAH!” Shi slid back.

       Genghis Quack looked surprised. “He was able to push this guy back,” he said.

      Shi clenched his axe.

      “So this power does exist here? Well, I don’t plan on losing to this rabbit,” Shi said as he ran at Sabito.

      Sabito appeared behind Shi.

      Sabito swung his katana as Shi quickly turned around.

      Shi blocked Sabito’s attack as the katana began to glow red.

      Sabito’s katana blasted Shi back.

      Shi hit a building.

      “GAAH!” Shi winced in pain.

      Shi stood up as the black aura healed his wounds and a sinister smirk appeared on his face. 

      “Heh, just as I expected you’re a weak rabbit,” Shi said as punched Sabito in the stomach.

       Sabito’s eyes widened.

       Genghis Quack, Lady Thyra, and the Hundr warriors lunged in.

        Sabito looked at the group. “Don’t help!” he shouted.

        Shi laughed as he picked Sabito up by his ears.

      “Not a wise choice, carrot-muncher,” Shi said as he slammed Sabito down on the ground.

       Shi puts the axe to Sabito’s neck. 

      “Say goodbye, carrot-muncher,” Shi said as Genghis Quack kicked Shi in the face, knocking him into another building.

      Lady Thyra grabbed Sabito.

      Sabito was knocked out.

      Gunnar, Birger, and Frode stood alongside Genghis Quack.

        Shi stood up and looked at the group.

        Shi got ready to attack but he got a call.

        Shi answered the call. “Yes, boss?” he answered.

        “I’ve found it yet but I will,” Shi ended the call.

          “You and your rabbit got lucky,” Shi said.

         Genghis Quack glared. “What are you after?” he asked.

         “Does it truly matter to you?” Shi asked.

         “It does because you’re destroying homes and killing innocent people,” Genghis Quack said.

         “Heh, I’m looking for a powerful jewel called the phantom crystal,” Shi said as he disappeared.

          Lady Thyra’s eyes widened. “The Phantom Crystal?” she thought with a worried look on her face.
