The Atrocious Werewolf Prince

The army of Bloodfang was ready to move forward, the 293 alive hyenas were mounted by the strongest of Bloodfang.

"Shall we go?" Prince asked looking at others.

"Yes, your majesty" Ezra received a uniform answer.

The prince nodded and the fake bloody hyenas marched.

~RAAAWWWR~

A growling roar was heard. Almost everyone flinched. "Hold on, what was that?" Rockey cried

"A beast?" Aqsa said.

"No... a martial animal." Ezra corrected, being in the timberland and surviving there for 5 years, Ezra's senses were delicate towards martial animals.

"We should ignore it and move as planned your majesty, martial animals are hard to deal with. We don't even know its tier." Jani suggested.

(Note: to make it simpler, I changed the classification of martial animals' strengths into tiers. The higher tier, the stronger, martial animal can grow its tier by feasting on other martial animals, cultivators and sorcerers.)

"No, I have to kill it" Ezra said as he grinned, the prince had something else in his mind, something more beneficial.

With that said, Ezra and Supernovas rushed. Around 300 meters towards Bishnigam, they witnessed a beast. A brown bear, 2 meters tall, with crimson veins, popped all around its body. Its body was contrary to the norm of bears, unlike the chubbiness, it had slight muscles.

"Mad Titan Bear!" Rockey said in an appalling manner.

Ezra squinted his eyes, he read about Mad Titan Bears. When a beast known as titan bear, a docile towering beast, evolves into a martial animal. It is called Mad Titan Bear, it has an innate skill that allows its body and power to increase as it gets angrier.

The bear's eyes met the uninvited guests, it growled and stood on its feet. Showing that he is about to tear them apart.

"It is a young one " Ezra guessed.

"It seems so, normally a grown titan bear is 16 meters tall, and a mad titan bear can exceed when angered. This one is a baby, but... how did a baby titan bear evolve into a martial animal."

Jani looked keenly and uttered "It's possible if it is born from an evolved titan bear, look at its skin, it's brown not black like the rest of titan bears. He'll prove to be much more dangerous if left alive."

"Now that you said it... we got another reason to kill it" Ivar said in his piece.

"Boy" The monstrous wolf of Norse spoke.

"Yeah, I know." The prince replied "Move away, I will face him personally" Ezra declared as he stepped forward.

"No, wait!"

"Your majesty.."

"It's dangerous, prince"

Supernovas shouted one after another.

"What, you think I can not even kill a newborn martial animal" Ezra retorted, he was annoyed.

"We all believe in your strength, your majesty. But still, let us kill this one. If it's not killed in one shot, the trouble will only increase." Rockey advised

"Rockey is right, your majesty. Cautiousness is better than regret." Jani added.

~RAAWWR~

The bear growled and marched offensively. "It's an order, do not disturb me" The prince said and went to meet the mad titan bear. The rest watched with their heart in the palms of their hand.

The bear raised his paw, and the claws protruded and descended on the young prince.

~BAANNG~

Dust rose, it was an impact powerful enough to kill a 2nd level Qi Brightening Stage cultivator.

"EZRA!!" Rockey couldn't watch the prince who grew in front of him like a younger brother, getting crushed by a monster, he lost control and his qi burst out.

"STOP! I'm alive" The prince said, shocking everyone.

Bilal Coldbone used air magic and scattered the dust away, the eyes of supernovas widened at what they were seeing.

Ezra blocked the blow by raising his arms, he didn't move, nor parried it. "I am disappointed" he uttered.

"Huh! Did he say disappointed?" Rockey was bewildered.

Black bolts flickered, Ezra clenched his fist, and the lightning danced around his mitt as it closed the distance between the werewolf and bear.

~BOOOM~

The punch acted like a drill, the mad titan bear flew a few feet away. Its abdomen was twisted, and blood painted its teeth and commissures. Ezra's chaos force was attached to Mad Titan Bear's abdomen, and with each second the pain hiked.

The bear fell and growled in agony, even though in tremendous pain, its eyes were glued on Ezra, it glared like an enranged monster seeking vengeance.

"This one is too weak" Ezra silently said to a certain someone.

"What do you expect from a week-old martial animal." Fenrir replied.

"A week old! I thought it was a few months old at least."

"No, this martial animal is a newborn cub. Kill it, an infant martial animal is very rare to find."

Ezra hmmed and summoned his armaments, Efsa in his right hand and Drepa in his left.

Bear looked at the sword and hook, it knew its time has come. His will to live battled against the growing pain and defeated it.

~RAAWWR~

A crimson-coloured energy surrounded the bear's body, the veins pulsed like ritual drums, and the black lightning tormenting its abdomen dispersed.

The Mad Titan Bear's height grew around 7 inches, with slight bulkiness in the body as well. That crimson energy was its force, the baby bear was enraged. But contrary to what Ezra expected, the bear took a step backwards

Ezra's eyes widened. "Is it afraid?" He pondered.

"No, he is not afraid. He is cautious" Fenrir corrected the prince.

Ezra smiled in satisfaction "I read that Mad Titan Bear after being enraged lose their fear and sanity, a gain and a cost. But this young one only has gained. no fear with intact sanity"

Ezra dashed forward, Mad Titan Bear swung its paw, sharp claws cleaved the air.

~CLLUUNCHH~

Before it could hit Ezra, something else pierced the paw. Drepa, the poisonous hook penetrated it.

~GRRAARGH~

Painful cries made the mad titan bear more indignant, he tried to pull out the hook but it was stuck, the little blades on Drepa adhered to the bones.

The young bear pulled its arm, intending to break away from Ezra but it couldn't budge the grip of the prince.
