Dawn Of Twilight

'With most of the pressure being taken on by the black steel Knights, and them being cautious. If a five years old child were to suddenly kill a vicious wolf of such strength, even if as a demon child I doubt it would be anything less than horrifying. Anyways, that should be tantamount, to letting my wild prey lose. Probably it wouldn't take much time before a person dies, ending up as my meal!' Tobi inwardly grumble, he was losing every bit of his sense of rationality.

Once again he was starting to feel something was wrong with him, Tobi was not sure what would happen if he were to fully lose his bit of sense. He gulp down the saliva on his throat, there were many questions on his mind but it appear too chaotic for him to think it properly.

"Well done!" Elijah commented from closeby. At the moment, Elijah looked pale from exhaustion as it seemed the healing of numerous casualties, had taken a toll on his body.

On the other hand, Matthew seemed to be having it easier going up against a metre size vicious wolf, his every attack emitted a faint golden light on the edge of his short cross sword. However, he was still being pushed back, Matthew staggered backward unable to take another hit.

Tobi looked at the pair of brother's in surprised, even though they had known each other for a few months. He didn't really know they had natural inborn ability, except this day. Maybe they forgot to tell him or maybe he didn't really ask, he thought for a moment before he once again redirected his gaze towards the group of vicious wolf pack at the front.

The live clash between a man and wolf continued on for half an hour. The sun slowly set on the horizon, as darkness soon descended upon the golden sand.

The eyes of the vicious wolves were giving off an aquamarine glow. The entire campground had an eerie feel to it, the whole surrounding crowd were filled with light touches of aquamarine orbit eyes.

Tobi gasped for a mouthful of fresh breathe. He looked a bit tired, as if he had been fished out from a pool of sand. His face was still covered with it, but he lacked the time to even wipe it off.

He could feel his strength slowly slipping away, like a jar filled with holes. His body felt heavy, with pale lips and black bags under his eyes. His body felt extremely weak, allowing him to only muster a bit of strength. He felt dehydrated, sluggish and heavily drained at the same time.

Tobi thought it was a good thing, the night had descended. Otherwise, they would have thought he was probably poisoned in the midst of the battle. Even with his bit of strength, it was with some effort he could move around.

'If even I'm like this, there's no need to speak about the others. Only the black steel Knights still have energy to spare, but even they will probably be unable to last much longer. In this situation, if they don't muster all of their strength.'

Tobi glanced over and saw that there was an empty space amidst the casualties at the center of the campsite. A black steel Knight, holding a black long whip stood there silently. None of the surrounding twilight children dared to be within a metre of him. It was an inborn fear from an higher predator.

As for the vicious wolves surrounding the defensive area, they had already lost almost half of their numbers. However, the number of defending twilight children at the front line had far more deaths tolls than the vicious wolves, after all none of them had ever come close to a real battle in their entire lives. 

Except a few like Tobi, the twins and a couple of other twilight children that were bȧrėly hanging on.

'If I was the vicious wolf king, the current situation would be enough to make me charge forth effortlessly. There should be one final siege of attack remaining.'

Tobi pulled backward constantly avoiding battles, at the same time, he took the opportunity to view how his wild prey were faring. Out of three, he had already lost two of them in a battle.

These was the only vicious wolf he was counting on, along the journey. His mental energy could not be easily replenish, except with a good night sleep. Otherwise, he would have tried his hands on more wolves to secure his meal, but he was already running out of time and Mana.

A blood curdling shrill howl loudly resonated, but this time, they seemed to be carrying a differ meaning.

An unceasing howls of wolves covered the air, as they became more frenzied. They charged forward without any regard for their lives.

'It's here, the final wave.' At this moment, he was filled with expectations, in Tobi's eyes it was more or less a blessing in disguise. He was hoping for a miracle to happen. 

"To suddenly become double times bigger and stronger than the rest, these can only be Death wolves!" A black steel Knight shouted to everyone.

'They usually have greater strength than the others of the same race, and at the same time, their loyalty to the king of the wolves, are to the point of suciding themselves'

This was one of few information, that he had been given access to by the black steel Knight.

'How wonderful, looks like the king of the vicious wolves is also making his biggest investment this time.' Tobi thought himself, as he quickly retreated this wasn't something he could easily handle in his full potential. Talk less of now, that he couldn't muster a quarter of his previous strength.

'This are unlike the previous vicious wolves, if we had met such wolves before, our carriages wouldn't have lasted till this point.' Tobi thought with a frown.

Tobi continuously move backward, as he retreated. Now, he was already within the perimeter of their safe haven, next he only needed to watch the outcome, in order to stimulate his ace.

His eyes dim blue eyes, had a hint of red to them, as he stare at the on going battle from afar.

At this moment, he was completely sure the black steel Knight wouldn't be able to last much, without using all their hidden cards. 

'If they are not an idiot. They wouldn't think twice, as to finish their battle faster, before exhaustion come knocking, I should also save some strength for my plan.'

Tobi received a bottle from a boy with trembling hands, as he drank a couple of mouthful of water to quench his unbearable thirst.

By drinking water, he managed to conceal the glints in his eyes which were a bit ferocious.

Looking at the battle, The deaths wolves pack would soon break through their unstable defense, and the death toll on the twilight children would instead increase. And no matter how much they wanted to reduce their workload, and how much the black steel Knight wanted hold back, they would have to act.

There were non-stop howling from the king of vicious wolf hidden amidst the death wolf pack, the death wolves pack's were becoming more aggressive with the passage of time. The ones that were now appearing seemed even bigger than the old ones now.

A twilight child had his throat ripped off, the moment the giant death wolves attacked, within the sandy storm his body was lifted up as it disappeared.

"Now, we can't wait any longer. Activate the magical formation!" The black steel Knight of Tobi's alliance group, ordered.

At that moment, the black steel Knights planted six purple and white magic crystals on the ground, as the ground started to lit up. Numerous light dots of purple and white, formed an outline of a sacred geometry symbols with triangle hexagon vector imagery.

At first glance, it only formed an outline but slowly it expanded (160.04fts) and became vivid on the ground. Amidst the sacred formation circles, the six black steel Knights each planted their knights swords on it. Soon, there was an illumination as it began forming thick phantoms of purple and white muscle chain links.

Each thick chains were like tentacles as they slowly slid towards towards a knight sword, within their movement they emitted clinking rustles as they coiled around different swords. Forcefully pulling the swords of the ground, as they swung them in the air before forming a battle stance.

With the catchy sacred magical formation activated, it easily made a bloody scene as everyone stare gleefully at the black steel Knights, who were the sole center of attraction before redirecting their attention towards the sacred formation they controlled, in wonder.

All the twilight children expressed their amazement in unison, finally they had seen a glimmer of hope. Out of their situation.

With the sacred formation, it served as both offense and defense fortress. The formation stood at the front line, while the black steel Knights sat legs cross behind it. Amidst the battle various vicious wolves were hack to death, despite their large horde swamping forward.

But with the increase in death wolves, a vicious wolf had managed to slip through a gap when a death was stabbed, and charge into the crowd of Twilight children.

"Somebody, Saveeee meee!"

"I don't want to die yet!"
