Reincarnated as a chicken

Shadow portal

BOOM!

The ground of the Hellish Bite restaurant collapsed under the pressure of the force coming from beneath. Luckily, there were no customers around at the moment, so no one was injured. The building on the other hand caved in as two auras burst out. Mist escaped from beneath as they clashed.

Clashed? Yes. Two varying mists of different intensities clashed in a vicious manner. One mist so solid one might actually feel a punch from it and the other so soft one might find it a comfy pillow. However, the light one was obviously of a higher quantity than the solid.

Two wolves formed from the solid mist, their purple eyes glaring about at the soft mist. Back-to-back, observing the mist and waiting for something. Anything. Then it came. One of them jumped into the blind and swiped.

Surprisingly, it landed a strike on the tired Yokino who quickly receded to the cover of her mist.

"Give it up Spider King. My mist wolves are too much for you."

Shiroi's voice reverberated through the mist for Yokino to hear. There was no response from the spider king however. The two kings in question were no were to be seen. Shiroi herself was testing out her new skill [Mist Form]. She found it to be useful, but the problem here was that she wasn't sure of how to turn it off.

Her mind was fuzzy and her body spread about. It felt like she was losing consciousness all while being conscious. She could see and sense a lot of things, but in a way, it wasn't her doing it. Information came through all sorts of areas, but it didn't overload her brain. If anything, she was simply getting nauseous because of this.

However, she couldn't show weakness right now. The spider king definitely wouldn't let that moment go to waste.

Still, she found it odd that the spider king hadn't made any significant moves since their aura burst attack. Sure, she would sense some movement here and there, but the spider king would simply disappear quickly almost as if she had never been there in the first place.

"You know, I never got to thank you for helping me with the Hell orc."

A voice echoed. Shiroi's wolves looked about trying to determine its origin.

"So, I will now."

'You thank me by fighting me? How kind of you.'

BOOM!

Thunder boomed in the sky. Up in the sky, the clouds were gathering and turning dark. Lightning flashed and struck the ground where the auction took place, forcing the mist to split apart.

'I-Is this Storm Magic?'

Shiroi's voice was hesitant. An obvious sign of weakness. Yokino grinned.

"Hehe. Not really. I simply used Runic Magic to amplify my- ah... why am I even telling you? How'd you like it? I only pull this up for the big boys."

The winds started blowing heavily and there was a certain uneasiness in Shiroi's heart. Something wasn't right. It wasn't the clouds or the incoming storm. There was something very odd. All her senses told her to run away in that moment, but she didn't know what from.

"W-Wolf King..."

Yokino revealed herself. She too looked shaken. She had sensed what Shiroi had sensed and was now on high alert.

'A truce?'

Shiroi asked and Yokino nodded.

"So, get rid of this mist so I see the cause."
