Chapter 17 - chapter 17: wrath of a saint part 4

Carrion dashed at Queen Esarosa as he swung his sword downward aiming at her neck she tilted her head slightly to the left narrowly avoiding the blow as she gripped the blade of the sword with her left hand pulling Carrion closer to her as she headbutted him several times and blood flowed out between his eyes as she released him while taking a step back.

" It has been a long time since I have fought against a lone walker."

Carrion brushed his hand against the small wound on his forehead wiping the blood that came out of it.

" It's been long time since I have seen my own blood your majesty, I have never went up against a saint before let's see how I will fair against you."

Carrion once agian got into a fighting stance as he lept forward with both of his hands gripping his sword as he swung at it Esaros, Queen Esarosa deflected his blow as she aimed for his neck Carrion dodged the blow and slashed at the air.

Bang! A purple horizontal slash collided against the Esarosas chest plate as the slash landed pushing her slightly back.

The Queen looked at her breast plate where a horizontal scratch was caused by the blow, she smiled as she lifted her sword and rushed forward at Carrion.

Clank! Clanck! Clank!

Steel clashed against steel as Carrion deflected every blow aimed at him Esarosa deflected a blow aimed at her head as she moved her body to the right avoiding the blow as she raised her sword bringing it down on his arm as the sword was inches away from cutting his arm off a black clawed hand suddenly materialized blocking her blow.

" mhh is this your puppertering ability I have always wanted to see how strong your ability is."

More and more black clawed hands hands appeared behind Carrion as weapons flew towards the hands shields,spears swords,halberd flew into the arms all around him as that happed Esaros smiled as she streched her body while getting into a fighting stance. Carrion charged at her as he swung his sword upward aiming for Esarosa chin she deflected the blow and swung her sword at his stomach before the blow could land.

Bang! The sword collide with a shield that was held by a black clawed hand as the blow landed on the shield one of the numerous hands wielding a halberd came behind her as it swung the halberd at her head before it could even reach her time seemed to move slow as Queen Esarosa slowly moved out of the way avoiding the blow time flowed normally again as the strike that was aimed at her was now directed at Carrion before the blow could land on him more black clawed hands holding shields suddenly appeared before him as they formed a shield wall blocking the attack aimed at him.

" Such a usefully ability you can attack defend simultaneously."

As Carrion was about to respond arrogantly at her she suddenly swung her sword and space that they were standing in suddenly had rifts on the floor and the ceiling as white wolfs jumped out and surrounded her.

"Now let's see how's ability is stronger."

She rushed at him swinging her sword gently as if she was performing some sort of dance with each strike she swung her sword chipped away at Carrion swords, Carrion deflected each blow as he tried landing his own but every time he tried Queen Esarosa would dodge every strike as this happened the hands that held weapons in the air would launch attack at her or try to block her blows from reaching Carrion but each time they were stopped by the white wolfs as the wolfs blocked every blow with the sharp claws aimed at they master.

" I was wrong your ability is weak if you can only defend and attack with it I don't understand how you could even be a member of the great houses."

" Well it is a puppetering ability your majesty it's not used for combat this is just one of the things that I use for myself now let me show you the of this ability."

As Carrion said this words he had a smile on his face as.

A loud screeching sound reveberated in the teleportation room as thousands of purple armored soldiers with black hand hovering above them with silver string connecting from their bodies into the hands as they were controlled like puppets.

" now let's see how you will block my attack without your wolfs."

As the soldiers came in the room more white wolfs rushed out of the dimensional rift as they howled loudly charging at the soldier swiping their large sharp claws at their bodies.

Bang! A wolf landed it's blow at the head of one of the soldier cleanly slicing it off as the wolf jumped over the headless soldier aiming at the one behind him the headless soldier suddenly moved as it raised its sword piercing it deep into the wolfs underside as blood and intestines came out.

Plop! The wolf fell dead onto the ground.

The Queen turned her head around as looked at the dead wolf.

" This is the first wolf to die today in your territory what sorcery are you using to make your soldiers stronger."

Carrion smiled arrogantly as he looked at Queen Esarosa.

" I am not making my soldiers strong it just that they were strong before they died some of them were lonewalkers that I killed in previous battles but it is a pity that they cannot use their ability when they were alive."

" Mhh that is understandable."

The wolfs and soldiers charged at one another, the wolfs swiped the claws at the soldier while the soldier swung their swords at them but for the first time the wolfs were beign overpowered and killed as every soldier that wolfs killed would raise up and fight once agian whether the soldier were deadly or armless the hands hovering above their heads would reattach their limbs over and over again as they charged at wolfs, the blood and bodies of wolfs littered the ground as the undying puppets were slaughtering the Queens wolfs.

As that was happing the Queen couldn't intervene and help her wolfs as she was continuously ducking, jumping and deflecting blows after blows from Carrion and the black clawed hands that were surrounding her as the hands kept attacking her using swords and spears Carrion finnaly saw a opening in the Queens defense as he rushed at her swinging his sword at her face as his sword scraped against her cheeck opening a ugly vertical deep wound on her cheek blood flowed out.

Carrion looked at the blood flowing out of a saint and smiled.

" haha haha haha ,So saint's bleed red blood just like everyone else."

As he said this while laughing Queen Esarosa held held her hand agianst the wound on her cheek and brought her blood stained hand infront of her as she looked at it for a few second she raised her head and started into Carrion's eyes with a expressionles face.

" It has been a long time since I saw my own blood since I was not planning to kill you so quickly but it seems my puppies cannot handle your undying army."

As she said that she looked back at the wolfs and whistled as the wolfs heard her whistle they retreated form the soldier as they run into the rifts.

Boom!

As that happend the roof of the manor was destroyed as dust particles settled down a large white wolf was seen standing above the manor looking down at everas it's eyes darted around the room finally landing on the Queen.

" Get in her Snow."

The enormous wolf suddenly shrank down after hearing the Queens order as it entered through the roof as it's size was as large as a adult elephant it landed slowly on the ground and looked at all the hundred of wolfs laying dead on the ground and howled sorrowfully for its dead kin.

" Don't be sad snow go and devour what has killed your brethren to honour their deaths."

Queen Esarosa Said as she pointed at the thousand of soldier that were walking towards them.

As the wolf heard her order it howled and rushed at the soldiers jumping into the air as it opend its mouth wide open as it reached one of the soldiers it's mouth suddenly opened wide open as it devoured the soldier whole. As that happend the hands that were hovering above the soldier dissappeared.

" Now it is your turn."

Esarosa said as she brandished her sword and charged at Carrion.

The large white wolf kicked and swiped its claws at the soldiers cutting the arms and heads off but unlike before the strings wouldn't attach them back as the wolf would instantly devour every limb that it would cut off the wolf was as fast as lightning as it wrecked havoc among the undying puppets as it gave them no chance to land a blow on it's body howl after howl could be heard as snow was shredding the soldier to bits of pieces with its sharp fangs and claws.

Queen Esaros reached Carrion as she ducked and doged blows that were aimed at her.

Clanck! Both they sword met in the middle as they tried to overpower each other.
