Chapter 14 - Chapter 13 – The Alpha Awakens *

The destroyed street in Seoul trembled under a crushing wave of dark energy.

At the center stood the Shadow Covenant Elite—calm, smiling, and completely unshaken.

Purple energy coiled around his body like a living storm.

Facing him…

Kang Jae-Min, Kim Ara, Lee Min-Joon, and Seo Yuna stood together—wounded, tired, but still standing.

The Elite tilted his head slightly.

"…So this is the strength of those chosen by prophecy? what a joke."

He laugh.

Min-Joon frowned.

"Why do villains always talk like they know our future? that's rubbish."

Ara ignored him, her red eyes locked onto the enemy.

Jae-Min stepped forward, his golden eyes glowing faintly.

"We're not here to talk. monster."

The Elite smirked.

"Good. very good, boy! cuz I'm not here to play with u also I came to destroy u."

Then—

He vanished.

"MOVE!" Jae-Min shouted.

The Elite reappeared above them and slammed down.

BOOOOM!!!

The ground shattered.

Dust and debris exploded into the air.

Min-Joon rolled across the pavement.

"THIS GUY IS NOT NORMAL!"

Yuna raised her hand instantly.

"Arcane Shield!"

A glowing barrier formed—but cracks spread across it immediately.

"…He's too strong for us to handle," she muttered.

Ara dashed forward with her vampire speed, aiming a powerful kick.

The Elite caught her leg mid-air.

"Too slow girl, how about u drink some human blood to feel stronger Huh a?"

He threw her across the street.

CRASH!

Then she vomit a black blood___

"I'm not like u monster cuz I don't kill innocent people and I don't drink human blood I drink animal blood bastard!"

Then the Elite look at her with amazed....

"Wow that's harsh u know and that's why u are slow try and drink human blood sometimes okay?"

Jae-Min rushed in.

SLASH!

His claws cut through the Elite's chest—

But the wound healed instantly.

Min-Joon stared in disbelief.

"…What the fuck We're finished today."

The Elite raised his hand.

Dark energy gathered into a massive sphere.

"Let me ends this now."

The air grew heavy.

The ground trembled violently.

Min-Joon whispered,

"…We can't stop that, finally we are dead I'm so sorry grandma for leaving u like this."

Ara clenched her fists.

Yuna tried to gather more magic—but her power was fading.

Jae-Min stepped forward anyway.

Even knowing it wasn't enough.

"…We don't run don't u understand?"

The Elite smiled.

"Brave boy."

"But it's pointless though."

The dark sphere expanded—

Ready to destroy everything.

Then—

A powerful howl tore through the night.

AOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Everything froze.

The dark energy flickered.

Even the Elite stopped.

"…What the hell is that?"

A new presence filled the battlefield.

Wild.

Dominant.

Overwhelming.

From the smoke…

A figure stepped forward.

Tall.

Broad-shouldered.

Silver hair glowing under the city lights.

His red eyes shone with authority.

The ground itself seemed to bow to his presence.

Ara whispered,

"…An Alpha."

Jae-Min's eyes widened.

"…That aura…"

The new allia looked at the Elite calmly.

"You talk too much monster, show me what u got."

Min-Joon blinked.

"…Who is this final boss-looking guy?"

The Elite smiled slowly.

"So… another has come."

"Good but u still can't over power me."

The Alpha didn't reply.

He simply disappeared.

BOOM!

He reappeared in front of the Elite and delivered a devastating punch.

The shockwave cracked the entire street.

For the first time—

The Elite was pushed back.

Min-Joon's jaw dropped.

"…He just did that casually?! unbelievable."

Ara's eyes narrowed.

"He's far stronger than any of us."

Yuna whispered,

"…That's because he was an Alpha."

The Elite stood up again, excitement in his eyes.

"Wow…"

"Now this is getting interesting."

Dark energy surged violently.

The Alpha cracked his neck slightly.

"Try harder monster."The fight shifted instantly.

The Alpha moved like lightning.

Every strike was precise.

Every movement overwhelming.

The Elite struggled to keep up with him.

Jae-Min watched closely.

His fists clenched.

"…So this is the level I need to reach."

Min-Joon whispered,

"Bro, let's survive first before leveling up."

Yuna spoke quickly,

"He's creating an opening for us!"

Ara nodded.

"Then we take it."

The Alpha slammed the Elite into the ground.

"NOW!" he commanded.

Jae-Min rushed forward.

Ara followed with blinding speed.

Min-Joon gathered his strongest flames.

Yuna created her largest magic circle yet.

"Grand Arcane Seal!"

"Flame Burst!"

"Shadow Strike!"

All their powers collided at once.

BOOOOOOM!!!

The explosion shook the entire area.

When the light faded—

The Elite was on one knee.

His body cracking with dark energy.

"…Impossible… how can they destroy me, but remember this no matter how strong u are, u can't stop what's is coming."

He looked up at them.

Then smiled faintly.

"This isn't over…"

His body dissolved into shadows—

And vanished.

Silence fell.

Min-Joon dropped to the ground.

"I'm done fighting for today."

Ara exhaled slowly.

Yuna closed her book.

Jae-Min stepped forward.

"…Who are you?"

The Alpha turned to them.

His golden eyes calm… but powerful.

"My name is…"

Choi Hyun-Woo.

"The Alpha of the Northern Pack."

Min-Joon whispered,

"…Yeah, the name of that pack sounds powerful."

Ara asked,

"Why are you here?"

Hyun-Woo's gaze shifted to Jae-Min.

"Because of him."

Jae-Min frowned.

"Me? why me I don't even know u."

Hyun-Woo nodded.

"You're not just a werewolf my friend."

"You have something… unusual which I'm trying to figure out."

Silence filled the air.

Then Hyun-Woo turned away.

"The Shadow Covenant will return."

"And next time…"

"They won't hold back so u guys better prepare for worse."

He began walking off towards his bike.

Min-Joon shouted,

"Wait man!*

Hyun-Woo stopped slightly.

Min-Joon grinned.

"You joining us or not?"

Hyun-Woo smirked faintly.

"…We'll see about that."

And with that—

He start the engine of his bike put on his Hamlet and drove off.

My Lord.....

"The five had finally crossed paths." said the right hand man of the evil leader."

Then the leader scoff...

"The balance had shifted".

And somewhere deep in the shadows…

A voice echoed quietly.

"The Alpha has entered the game…"

"…Perfect."

The war in Seoul had only just begun.
