Summoned and Unwanted-Chapter 16
Chapter 16: An unkillable monster emerges
“Ahh... ” Vincent let a faint painful moan. His strength to shout was gone. His arm was almost all inside the Great Gray Wolf’s mouth. Its jaws were biting deeper to lop it off. The struggle was over, and death was nigh.
Vincent used the last bit of strength to spit in its face. Surprised by this action, the monstrous beast lowered its raised crippled leg down.
*Crack*
Vincent slowly turned his gaze at the noise. It was a hazy scene but clear enough to see. The injured leg of the Great Gray Wolf was crushing Lupa’s front legs.
Vincent stared at this scene in denial. Lupa might have died, and Ester as well.
Vincent could accept this. He didn’t want to lose anyone else. Was the power he always sought this weak?
Vincent became enraged. A burst of adrenaline rush shot as his heart raced like an engine.
.....
Vincent punched the beast’s head, but the wind averted its path. The Great Gray Wolf bit deeper while it enjoyed the human’s last struggle.
Vincent kept punching like a possessed person with hatred and rage. The punching abruptly stopped. His hand couldn’t raise anymore.
Vincent used his only working body part. His head. Like a mad man, he kept headbutting with vicious rage, but the wind armor protected against all.
The Great Gray Wolf satisfied by the performance, was ready to bite his arm off. However, it soon stopped.
Vincent died, or more specifically, his heart stopped, yet a tremendous amount of heat was escaping his body as if he was about to burst into flames.
Vincent saw a corrupt and broken error display box before he took the last breath.

Some was readable, and most not. However, Vincent didn’t have the luxury to read before his heart stopped.
The arm in the Great Gray Wolf’s mouth was burning up. As if it was on fire. It quickly bit his arm off in a hurry, spat it on the floor.
The monstrous beast then took a few steps back. It was cautious about what was happening. The heat was unnatural, and it was growing fiercer by the second.
The once proud beast started to feel fear. The human was dead, yet something inside of him was not.
*Grrrrr*
The Great Gray Wolf was on its toes, ready to fight for its life. It could feel an overwhelming presence as if it wanted to swallow it whole.
The mark on Vincent’s abdomen glowed fierce green. The bleeding from his left arm suddenly stopped. Soon a trial of green steam escaped from the stump.
Vincent’s body trembled while veins bulged from his body. They weren’t blue. Instead, they were green. Soon, the once dead human stood on his legs.
Vincent took a long and extensive deep breath. It was humanly impossible to do. More veins bulged, and from under his fingernails, mysterious green liquid was collecting.
Vincent exhaled, and with it followed a heat hotter than summer as it clashed against the cool breeze in the cabin.
The green liquid started to wobble as if alive. Then it started climbing his fingers, continued rising till his hands were covered. Soon it stopped near his elbow.
Half his arm was covered, enveloped by a strange hardened green substance. The same green substance on his body when he arrived in this world.
*Crack*
The green skin cracked, and with it, an intense heat followed. The cracks glowed bright similar to his mark, and from them escaped a trail of green steam.
Vincent suddenly fell on his knees and supported himself with his one arm.
*Cough*
Vincent violently coughed red blood. However, after a few times, he coughed a green substance instead.
As this was happening, the Great Gray Wolf became hesitant. It didn’t know if it should fight or run.
Vincent stood up. He took another deep breath and exhaled. As if he was smoking, a cloud of green steam exited from his mouth. Soon, two trails of green steam escaped from the sides of his mouth.
Vincent opened his eyes. The Great Gray Wolf trembled at such a vicious glare.
Vincent’s eyes changed. The white in his eyes turned black. His green iris glowed even fiercer. Lastly, he had vertical silt pupils, like a vicious predator.
Vincent didn’t feel like a human anymore. Instead, like a grim reaper ready to collect its soul.
*ROAR*
Vincent let out a monstrous roar with a different voice of his own. It felt like a horrifying hoarse voice of a beast.
Vincent took a step forward, and the once overwhelming Great Gray Wolf took a step back in fright.
Vincent turned his head from left to right while his monstrous eyes trailed behind. It felt like he had never seen the cabin before. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m
First, his gaze stopped on Ester. But his expression was still fierce. Then his monstrous eyes stopped on Lupa, who was seriously injured and at death’s door.
*Grrrr*
Vincent growled like an enraged wild beast. He felt the retainer bond and considered Lupa as one of his own.
Vincent became enraged, and a vicious bloodlust surrounded the whole cabin. He tilted forward as if he was falling face first.
Suddenly Vincent sprang forward and shot like a bullet. The floor underneath his previous location broke with the force of the leap.
The Great Gray Wolf didn’t place any trust in its wind armor. It thought it wasn’t enough. It quickly limped to the side and evaded the flying Vincent by a hair.
*Boom*
Vincent crashed and made a hole in the wall exiting the cabin. His hand descended, clawed the earth with a firm hold, and left a trail behind till his body stopped.
Such destruction made the beast fear of what might have happened if it didn’t dodge.
*Step Step*
The Great Gray Wolf raised its ears full awareness. It heard every step the human monster was making outside. On every step, the beast shivered.
Vincent walked inside while cracking his neck. He was ready for another vicious leap.
Vincent felt like he kicked something. Lowering his gaze, he saw Ester on the floor. His hand descended, then it lifted Ester by the edge of her chest wrap.
Ester could feel an unsupportable torrent of heat. She felt like being next to a fire, about to be burned alive. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖
Ester became conscious as her survival instincts kicked in. She woke up, and her eyes opened. The crimson pair couldn’t believe what they saw.
It was Vicent yet not. His eyes were dangerous, and the abnormal veins on his face were terrifying to see.
“A-are you... V-Vincent?” Ester stuttered in fear. The existence feared by people of the world lifted her body as if it was weightless.
Vincent grunted with an angry frown. His head approached her delicate neck, and took a whiff. Like a wild beast, he could smell her hopeless fear, that of a person who could barely move an inch.
Vincent felt like she was no threat. As if he never saw or knew her, he dropped Ester like she was nothing.
The Great Gray Wolf kept glaring the whole time. Soon it noticed a shocking development. The stump on Vincent’s hand was growing at a rapid pace. His left arm was almost regrown.
The Great Gray Wolf felt that the option to run would be the best choice. It wasn’t facing a prey, but an enraged predator fiercer than itself.
Vincent crouched down and placing his hand on the floor with a vicious glare. As he curled his fingers like a claw, the wooden floor was scratched and chipped.
Vincent sprang forward like a bullet, and the floor underneath broke once again. His hand approached the beast’s fur, but the wind armor was cut like butter under a hot knife.
*Slash*
The five green covered fingers became red as they left a trail of blood behind them. From thigh to shoulder, the Great Gray Wolf had five long deep cuts.
*Boom*
Vincent crashed into the wall and made another hole. It seemed the cabin might get demolished if this keeps up.
The Great Gray Wolf whimpered in pain. Its impenetrable wind armor was nothing to the monster before it.
Ester kept staring in disbelief. There were two predators, but only one could win. However, both winners might kill her in the end.
The Great Gray Wolf was angry, and near it was Lupa. It slowly limped, approaching Lupa then...
*Crack*
Ester saw the beast crush the remaining two uninjured legs. Now, all its legs were broken.
.....
Ester felt both sad and angry, but the fear of death chained her down.
*Smash*
A piece of the broken wooden wall was thrown at the Great Gray Wolf. However, the wind armor protected the beast.
*ROAR*
From outside, a vicious hoarse roar echoed in the cabin. Soon followed Vincent with two hands covered by hard substance and green steam trailing behind him.
His gaze went over to Lupa. Veins bulged in anger, and his face contorted even more. It felt like he was hit in a sore spot.
Vincent paced forward. He extruded a murderous aura powerful enough to make Ester gasp for air.
The pressure was terrifyingly intense enough for the monstrous beast to back down and shiver. It got covered in a cold sweat at the sight of the monster called Vincent.
Vincent stood in front of Lupa as he gazed down with a sad yet terrifying face. He dropped on his knee, then his hand slowly brushed her fur.
“Who... did... this... to... you...” Vincent said in a horrifying hoarse voice.
The Great Gray Wolf took this opportunity to attack. It felt like this situation wasn’t going to happen again.
*Slash*
Green substance spurted like a fountain. No, it was mutated blood. With it followed a burst of hot air and steam.
Vincent grunted as he brushed his hand one last time. Ignoring the pain, he stood up and gave one last glance at his wolf retainer.
Vincent turned around, and the monstrous eyes locked on their prey. The living being that needed reaping was in front of him.
Ester was surprised by this mystifying spectacle. Vincent stood still as he growled at the Great Gray Wolf. From his wound, steam escaped, green blood dripped on Lupa, covering her green.
That was half of it. The large claw wound on his back was quickly closing. As if he had endless strength to keep regenerating, even after restoring his arm back.
The green blood on his wound was bubbling as if it was boiling. Strangely, the blood that was on Lupa stayed on her, as the blood on him and on the floor boiled until it evaporated into nothingness.
In the end, Vincent had no wound while the Great Gray Wolf was slowly losing blood. The more the fight dragged on, the more disparity between the two appeared.
Vincent charged forward with his arm raised to deliver a strike. His form was full of openings, and the cunning beast took advantage of this fact.
A pair of sharp fangs reached his green-covered skin. However, it wasn’t as it seemed.
*Clang*
As if biting hard steel, a few fangs broke. Whatever covered his arms. It was harder than steel since the previous thick shield got crushed like a tin can under its mighty jaws.
One hand was locked. The other one free. Soon a mighty strike met its head, and the Great Gray Wolf fell down in a momentary daze.
“Did he beat a Great Gray Wolf with one punch? ” Ester questioned herself with a puzzled frown.
Then Ester slowly crawled over to Lupa. She lifted the half green half white wolf with worry. She took a closer look and noticed something strange.
A smile in surprise crept on her face as she played with her legs.
