The Guardian gods

Chapter 80

As for the training method, at night when the moon is out you are to use the new connection to connect with the goddess to absorb moonlight which is the blessing normally given away by the goddess and during the day is your basic mana training. The enhanced state lasts for 1 minute at the full mastery of this stage.

The next stage is what is called the Lunar Adept: This stage is when the werewolf gains experience and long exposure to the moonlight, now they no longer have to be connected to the goddess to absorb moonlight. During the night, ice manipulation becomes more refined, allowing for the creation of intricate structures and controlled elemental attacks, the senses and agility greatly improves. The training method is not much different from the first, but combat scenarios are added to refine ice manipulation as the enhanced state now lasts for 10 minutes.

The third stage which most elders are now in is called the Celestial initiate: This stage is quite intriguing as in this stage, the werewolf uses its connection to the study of the night sky, identifying constellations and understanding their influence on lunar energies. This stage is marked by the ability to draw power not just from the moon but also from other celestial bodies which is now called by the werewolf constellation augmentation. The requirement for this stage is to journey to specific locations aligned with celestial events to enhance their connection with the broader cosmic energies, most werewolves gain a different understanding of the constellation from these celestial events. The three main ones are the Celerity constellation which enables the werewolf with an enhanced speed burst; The other being the Aegis constellation which enables the werewolf with the ability of shielding Radiance and the last one being the Luna veil constellation which enables the user with moonlit Invisibility. It is important to note that one can only comprehend one constellation ability.

As for the fourth stage, no one has advanced to it yet to understand the changes and how it truly works, this was how the werewolf figured out a system that worked for them which is why they were able to quickly build up an ice palace and homes immediately after the moved from their previous settlement.

Maul was intrigued when he learn of the different stage of the werewolves created, he also wanted to change his own system to their but found out that it was impossible after all he himself has already advanced to the fourth stage which he already decide on the path that worked for him so all he has to do now is to continue on that.

Wuly his son changed system immediately which led to the third stage where he comprehended a constellation no one had gotten before which was Draco's insight constellation that granted him the ability of tactical intuition.

Once Maul got Knowledge of the ability Wulv got, he immediately handed over the leadership of army and their training to his son, which led to Maul now fully focusing on leading his people.

Back to Maul asking Lars If he had discovered the next stage in the power system, "There is a theory about the next stage my king, but the mastery of the celestial initiate has to be reached before thoughts of how the next stage will be comes up"

Maul nodded hearing the answer, before looking over to Wuly, 'Son pick out soldiers who feels that their chance of breaking through the next stage is coming, hand them over to Elder Lars he knows well the best way to prepare for their promotion ritual'

"Understood" Wuly said while nodding.

"This meeting is over for now; everyone already knows what they need to be doing. I am hoping next meeting will be us focus on expanding our reach further in this northern part Maul said as everyone

stood up from the sets crafted with ice while bowing their head towards him.

Maul was soon left alone ice the lee Hall of his palace, but different from his normal warm look, his eyes now hold a cold chill to it. He had a hand on his chin, at the same time with his other hand tapping the handle of his ice-cold throne which caused a constant ticking sound in the quiet palace. "Humans and now unknown creature, Interesting I wonder how well they will fare when faced with my icy power' Maul thought to himself as a cloud of cold air left his mouth turning into small ice parts that fell on to his white fur.

Different from Ikem who merged with Bara in his fourth stage causing his ability to mutate a bit, when Maul was faced with the question of what ice was to him. He had no hesitation to answer that ice meant a cold death to his enemy, but merely freezing their col body wasn't enough for him he wanted whoever was his enemy to fell the through nature of cold body in physical and spiritual form.

The lee element inside of him agree with his answer which caused his advancement into the fourth stage where he now bears the power to freeze even the soul of his enemy, at the same time those souls frozen is tethered to him always bearing the constant piercing cold of his power.

"Whatever that creature is, it better behave. I don't mind adding a new pet to my collection" Saying that a huge corporal wolf appeared beside Maul, around the corporal wolf were the shivering souls that fell under the Maul ice power.

Meanwhile on the sunny side of the northern part, the humans have been in a constant war with each other since the treasure fell from the sky and they gained a taste of supernatural power. The war has been ongoing for over three months now.

The forest and surrounding looked even more damaged than it was after the rain of meteorite, human corpse is littered around dismembered, some showed signed of being burned, while some looks like they were drowned in water and others looked they have been sucked dried as they held on to their heart.

Flies can be seen buzzing around dead bodies, bring about disgusting smells. Luckily the ongoing war finally stopped at the expanse of a lot of humans, the outcome of this war led to three big tribe being the leaders over this sunny land.

The three tribes-maintained a month worth of journey distance between each other, a lot of tribes has been subjugated during this war leading to the tribes each having thousands of humans under them.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

One of the head leaders of the three big tribe was Björn, who now has big rumour spreading about in all the tribes together. The rumour stated that he was bitten when he was out with his men gathering treasures.

Whatever has bitten him gave him supernatural powers and it is a well-known fact that he is the strongest human in the sunny place, stronger than the other two leaders. It can be said that if the other two leaders weren't in hold of powerful weapons, they couldn't have stopped Björn from being the one true ruler of the sunny side.

The two were able to use their weapons to fend off Björn but they knew this won't hold him off for long which is why the two leaders formed an alliance which caused Björn to halt his attack. Now the question is how Björn alone was able to become such a problem even though the two leaders have capable men equipped with good weapons around. It all starts with the weirdness of the people led by Björn, unlike the normal humans with powerful weapons, Björn men showed unnatural strength than humans should be capable of.

If the two leaders were leading men with weapons to fight, Björn can be said to be leading men with

or without weapons, as they are able to overpower those with weapons and grab the weapons from them.

On the side of the tribe lead by Björn, an unruly sight can be seen taking place with men pinning women down out in the open; human boy parts can be seen roasted over a fire with some humans with red eyes eagerly looking at the meat waiting for it to be cooked.

No houses can be seen on sight, only humans laying around everywhere, some clasping their weapons tightly as they fell asleep. At this unruly place was a tent, decorated with human head, at the same time beside the tent lays a rubble of stone which upon closer look shows a resemblance to the statue worshipped by the werewolves.

One common trait among the humans that resides in this area was how different they looked compared to most humans, their tall height, huge body size and muscles that seems like it's threating to rip out from under their skin, their eyes and expression shows how close to being sane they really

are.
