Metanoia; The Hybrid
CHAPTER 25: THE BULL AND THE RED CLOTH.

"Good morning, my bull."

At that moment, Psychophagus shouted furiously. The creature that came from hell swung its hand that let out those sharp claws, and at the same time, it, his deadly tail moved towards Gara about to stab the 8-year-old male in front of him.

Unfortunately, Gara would certainly not allow himself to be touched by Psychophagos a second time. He quickly teleported to the place where his degger was. As in the blink of an eye, Gara disappeared from Psychophagos' vision.

"From the way he reacted to seeing me, isn't it very visible that he has a personal grudge against me?" Gara asked by plucking her degger from the ground, and went back in explaining her plan.

"Maybe it's because he didn't like your howl yesterday, and after all he's absorbed your soul and you've hurt his leg" those words just came out of Edward's mouth.

"Yes, Edward was right. That way, I'll be the red cloth, while you guys, be the ones playing with it."

"Hey hey, you can't harm yourself for this. He'll chase you all out like yesterday" protested Chlea disliked while looking at me seriously.

"I will vanish from before him easily, I promise not to be touched by the creature again" for showing Chlea his degger. Beta let out a long sigh, and entrusted herself that Gara would be fine with her teleportation ability.

"The lake has four good points that we can use to provoke Psychophagos . The first point is to the west, just as he is there now. The second point is in the north, the third is in the east and the last is in the south. We should really lure Psychophagos into running straight towards me. Therefore, you must take one of the places in the forest between these four points. While because Selena can't do Pack Link with us-"

Selena interrupted quickly, "Don't tell me not to do anything, please. I want to be useful here, even though my Lycanthrope nature hasn't appeared yet, but I want to do it." Pinta Selena with a serious face looks at Gara.

Turning his head, he glanced at Edward who was also looking at him. Of course he knows, Edward also hopes Selena is included in this plan.

"Without you begging like that, you've also got a position in this plan, Selena. You will be the most important thing, your job is to throw stones to hit the target" said Gara.

"Wow, Selena will be our savior!" Cheers Ardan and Jack at the same time. Because of their voice, Psychophagos screams little realized something, to make them all stand by.

"You keep in mind, Psychophagos is not too far from us" infuriated Chlea because of the behavior of both of them. Ardan and Jack immediately lowered their heads, feeling guilty.

"I'll direct you with Pack Link to howl, remember, just in my direction. But for a while, Selena was with Edward first. It's just my guess, but the psychophagos over there really don't like water. Let's do it."

They take a position in the forest that has been determined Gara. In the western forest, there was a Chlea that was in position. Then in the northern forest, there's Ardan. To the east there is Jack, and to the south there is Edward and Selena who are also preparing. For throwing his degger to the west point, very close to the lake. Then teleport there. When he saw Psychophagos tracing the western forest, without transformation, because he howled with a big voice.

As a result, Psychophagos far in front of him turned his head, realizing Gara's presence there. Psychophagus shouted, then ran towards Gara quickly by preparing his tail to attack Gara. The man throws his degger into one of the tree trunks in the forest in front of him.

"Chlea, it's time to get your voice out."

When she almost grabbed Gara with her hand, Chlea howled powerfully far behind Psychophagos . Along with Gara who teleported to his degger position were. Everyone watched the Psychophagos lose their focus. With his speed, he was out of the boundary between the lake and the ground. When both his feet and hands touched the water, not a single explosion was expected.

"Why not explode?" Ask jack.

They looked back at the water that Psychophagos was treading. Right on its footing, the water hardened, becoming chunks of ice very quickly. Plenty of smoke came out of his hands and feet. Psychophagos shouted, as if very angry he returned to the land and destroyed two trees nearby with only his long and sharp tail.

"Whoah! The water becomes ice! It even spread slowly!" Ardan and Jack simultaneously.

"She doesn't like water, and her palms have the ability to change anything that threatens her. If we continue to lure it to the lake, all the water will turn into ice, so we will get to the small island in the middle there and finish this" Gara explained.

"Come, let's get this over with quickly!!" Chlea cheer is full of spirit.

Still as his plan was, they all did that howl and teleportation time and time again, surrounding the points that Gara marked. Almost part of the water in the lake has been slowly turned into ice.

Because she brought Selena with her, she also learned her new teleportation ability, which is to bring living things into teleportation.

Psychophagos really looks angry at Gara, as evidenced by him ignoring Selena who is always with Gara. Even from venting his anger, the crawling creature destroyed half the trees in the Lycanthrope clan's training area. The forest was almost an open area that would make it easier for Psychophagos to pursue Gara.

Naturally, the man covered in his wolf fur looked extremely tired. How not, the creature that holds a grudge against him is not stopping chasing Gara brutally, moreover, some of his energy is drained because it continues to teleport.

As she gained the right momentum to return to communication with the others, while running with one hand to pull Selena, she said, "We can go straight to the middle of the lake, and we can go straight to the middle of the lake, but it seems like this creature really doesn't like me. Edward, take Selena. Looks like if I take Selena over that almost entirely frozen water, it won't work. Psychophagos uses his tail to attack, it could have destroyed his ice easily."

"Selena, I entrust this to you" said Gara who was met with a nod of confidence from Selena. They both got off the track because they ran.

For throwing the degger of one of the trees near Chlea as he passed by, "Let's have fun, Psychophagos!" Repulsed with a loud cry from Psychophagos. The shout had not disturbed Gara's ears anymore, he was already very used to it. A second later Gara transformed into his wolf form. Without realizing it, everyone who heard Gara's clasping was completely shocked. They also know what Gara is feeling right now.

Meanwhile, Edward and Selena are already on a cold, slippery frozen lake. Edward even had to use his claws to slowly walk closer to the small island in front of him. He was afraid, if at any time the ice underneath was destroyed, and he and Selena were hit by the exploding water. It was like a nightmare to realize that he had to explode endlessly into dust.

Selena took out the stones, and threw quite strongly towards the target that was almost close to her, but the stone instead fell into the water and exploded. The explosion makes Psychophagos who is still chasing Gara stop suddenly, looking to the middle there, right at Edward and Selena. He shouted, because what he ordered almost failed.

Realizing that Psychophagus was about to approach Edward and Selena, he turned around and tried to lure the soul-eating creature into a powerful Psychophagus. Psychophagus crashes, but stands back up with growing anger at Gara. He chases Gara back, attacking him all out.

"It will be in vain, we have to wait for the freezing of the water to get closer to that target" said Edward stopped Selena's efforts.

Edward did Pack Link, "Why, can you lure that Psychophagos once again into the water? Just once, the water would freeze quickly then I could get one step closer to the target."

On the sidelines of his run, Gara nodded. "Chlea, I'll go to your place. To lure this creature, I need your help. You make the transaction, when I arrive, pull my degger and get on top of me quickly."

Chlea who had transformed herself into a human form, nodded in understanding. He approached the clever tree with his degger. Then, in an instant Gara teleported to where his degger was. Psychophagos yells, loses his target prey. He looked around until he found Gara far across the lake. With a quick movement, Chlea pulled out the Gara degger and climbed onto it.

"Hand!" Excited Gara then took a different direction to lure Psychophagos into the middle of the lake.

"Gara, what about me and Ardan? If you need help, we're always ready" Jack said excitedly. He was a little jealous of Chlea, because he could participate in the chase after it.

"I have a duty for you both. Ardan, use the cords you used to make the tent last night. When I lure Psychophagos out of the open area, you go towards the lake. Tie the rope between two opposite trees, make it about one meter high" orders Gara.

Ardan and Jack look happy, "Alright!" Say them simultaneously.

"Why, what's a one-meter rope for? Wouldn't that rope make it harder for you to lure him into the middle of the lake?" Ask Chlea.

"What do you think happens if I hit that rope?"

"Uh... Will you fall?"

Smiling, "Make the rope tight. Psychophagos and his weakness that I have told you, he will not see the rope. When he hits it, he'll fall. But with his speed, it could have made him soar through the air, and I'm sure he'll land on some water. It can make the water freeze fast."

"You and the way you think fast!" Praise Ardan for moving closer to Jack.

Gara and Chlea are still in pursuit of them. Psychophagos are lured out of the open area and into the forest. There, he really looked very angry. He smashed the trees that were made intentionally to block him. His wrath was up to him throwing down the destroyed trees to Gara who ran in front of him. The wolf even struggled to avoid Psychophagos attacks, lucky he was not hit by one of those throws.

While Ardan and Jack who transformed into human forms immediately ran into the lake. They tied the ends of the rope to the trunk of the tree that circled the lake.

"Check your ties, make them very strong!" Jack's Advice.

Psychophagus again pelted Gara and Chlea with tree trunks, not stopping. His legs also got tired, because he continued to run from a creature that seemed to have no fatigue at all. Several times Gara's quick legs stumbled, but he kept running, making momentum for Ardan and Jack.

"How come, we've finished installing the rope" the information came from Ardan.

"Chlea, throw my degger to a place you don't think Psychophagos will destroy" Gara ordered. Beta who was on his back was immediately carrying it out, with all his might, Chlea threw his degger into the plains which was quite safe from the hands of the Psychophagos destroyer.

Gara ran back into the forest that has no limits. Once again made the momentum to distance Psychophagos, and make his wrath even more so. After quite a distance, Gara immediately teleported to where her degger was.

However, something happened, he teleported very far away from where his degger was. Because he did not think too much about it, he ran back to the open area towards the lake. Psychophagos angry cries get bigger, his voice really disturbs the hearing of others.

"Why did it happen?" Chlea asked filled with confusion and fear for her Alpha.
