Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Settling into a Routine
Cao Guang was ecstatic after his wolf evolved, he was getting closer to his dream of taking down Warriors alone. He just needed a lot of work.
After settling Fenrir's affairs he left the training room to meet Max and work on their project.
"You're here boss, I have prepared everything and we are ready to start."
"Yeah I gonna let my daughter handle the rest while I get some more sleep. Here these are her snacks just feed her when she starts to loose focus"
"I am sorry, your what now?"
Cao Guang had already cast his spell Summoning a sleeps Little Flame Belle who started to complain with her father.
You made deal with mom, I need to sleep not fair.. ..... Yum.
Cao Guang quickly bribed Little Flame Belle with snacks before pawning off all work Max and Little Flame Belle while he found a work bench he could use as a makeshift bed.
"Boss, is this a fire Elemental creature, boss boss "
"Go on I'm listening"
" It's awesome that you have a flame Belle but I don't speak her language, we are getting nowhere"
"Flame Belle listen to this guy here and use flames and stop when he says stop. That's it, more you do more snacks you get okay. I'll buy something extra later"
Ling. Little Flame Belle nodded like the mindless toddler she was and started to control her fire like Max wanted to.
" You are at the next level Boss, and you are not listening. Is he always like this Flame Belle"
Ling. Finally Flame Belle and Max seemed to have found middle ground they could communicate on.
Cao Guang woke up in half an hour and decided to finally help out as he was supposed to.
" You alright boss , I think the two of us have a handle on this."
"No it wasn't the fighting, I just used up too much spiritual energy in quick succession as I tried to evolve by beast".

Cao Guang reached his section of the wall and reported for duty that night with his squad.
"Squad seventeen clear out skeletons and the let that hunter squad retreat " the Old Lieutenant gave his order.
Cao Guang and others made their way to the battle area and engaged the skeletons. Skeletons were generally faster than zombies and had weaker defences.
Cao Guang and his party used their tried and tested strategy one again and launched Fiery Fists to greet their undead neighbours. Only this time instead of a little fire ball supplementing their attacks they had a Warrior level Lightning Horn Wolf.
" Brother, when did Fenrir evolve" asked Gao Xuan as Song Xia perked her ears to listen into.
Fenrir summoned bolts of lightning as his horn glimmered in a purple light. It could single handedly destroy as many skeletons as the entire squad.
His party's competitive nature was awakened as they found competing against a wolf they used a guard last night in kill count.
Fenrir's seemed to even mock their efforts slightly, he let up on the nearby skeletons and hacking them to death with his claws and kept spamming his lightning and hitting skeletons and zombies far away.
Who was the mage and who was the summoned beast?
Cao Guang could not stand it any longer and joined his teammates in taking down the big bad wolf. The kill count shifted towards the mages after Cao Guang joined in.
Cao Guang and Luo Heng handled melee and long range , Song Xia and Gao Xuan handled short range. Even though Gao Xuan lacked any killing spells right now. His Light magic was fatal to the Undead.
The group of five weary Hunters made their way back under the cover of army spells. Cao Guang even recognised the group, they were a large party of about fifteen Hunters when they left.
He had overheard their conversation on the Wall, they were intermediate mages on average and went out Hunt a few of a specific type of wraiths. They had taken a commission to do so.
"What happened, where's the rest of you?" Cao Guang asked.
"We ran into a Corpse Mound Official" replied one of the Hunters.
"You're lucky to survive , we'll escort you back" said Cao Guang as he signalled Song Xia to make a report.
"Gao Xuan hit them with a Brilliant Light"
"Aargh"
A female Hunter screamed as black mist rose out her body. She had hit by a wraith's possession curse. Although these curse by itself may have been not harmful, but it could have been what, attracted the Corpse Mound Official in the first place.
Thankfully the wraith itself wasn't there anymore, if it were the Hunter would not survive. Right now she had jus fainted and took some damage.
"One of you carry her along with you and walk infront of us" Cao Guang was no longer willing to take his chance with this careless crew and set off as soon Gao Xuan finished his spell.

Cao Guang quickly fell into a routine of Night patrols on the wall, taking care of his beasts and helping out Max. Flame Belle finally got her extended hours of sleep after Fenrir replaced her role as magical support.
