    ---- Chapter 3023 The oppressive pressure was not particrly intense. However, it lingered like a de at Kaelen''s back, making him feel constantly uneasy. When he locked eyes with Andrew''s pupils, where there was a swirling mix of crimson and ck, his massive wolf body instinctively trembled. He mumbled, "What the hell is this?" For a brief moment, confusion flickered in Kaelen''s eyes. From this human, he sensed two distinct auras, those of a werewolf and a vampire, coexisting within the same body. This should have been impossible!


    Although both belonged to the Dark ns, werewolves and vampires were natural mortal enemies. Their bloodlines and powers carried poison and curses toward each other. In other words, they could not merge and actively repelled one another. If not for the changing times and the establishment of the Dark Council, along with major figures from both races forging a peace treaty to present a united front, there would be no peace between werewolves and vampires, not even on the surface. Even now, friction between the two sides still existed, with mutual contempt running deep.


    At their core, their power ---- sources conflicted and eroded each other. Yet somehow, this human before him carried both forms of dark power at once. Shock and disbelief shed through Kaelen''s mind. However, none of that mattered because tearing Andrew apart came first. With a furious roar, Kaelen''s massive body flickered repeatedly across the wastnd. His speed had reached a level that defied reason. For such a colossal body, it was impossible to imagine how he could move so fast.


    In the space beside Andrew, Kaelen''s two ws sharpened like steel des and crossed as they sliced toward him. Those ws alone were nearly asrge as Andrew''s entire body. Nyx cried out, "Watch out!" An inhuman roar exploded from Andrew''s throat. Then, his face elongated, taking on a feral, bestial savagery. He spun and brought his sword down in a crushing overhead strike. Simultaneously, his body bent at an impossible angle, evading Kan''s ws.


    Next, the pommel of his greatsword mmed brutally into the werewolf''s skull Kan howled in pain as he plummeted from the air toward the ---- ground. Andrew''s strike and smash not only blocked the steel ws but mmed Kaelen straight into the ground. A crater formed where Kan hit, dust billowing into the air. The massive werewolf shook his head twice, seemingly dazed from the impact. He leaped from the crater, tilting his head toward the crescent moon hidden behind clouds, and roared into the sky. The piercing cry echoed across the entire in.


    The werewolf''s natural aura of dominance forced every other creature on the ins to scramble into their holes, trembling with fear. Kan snarled, "You actually found the weakness in my defense, the power of the werewolf progenitor. But that is as far as it goes. You can''t break the progenitor''s power protecting my body. As long as you can''t touch my true body, you''ll never truly injure me. If you can''t reach my true body, I can fight you forever. In the end, you''re still the one who will die." With a furious roar, Kan dropped to alll fours and charged at Andrew again.


    This time, Andrew remained standing where he was. His greatsword swung without any energy or inner force attached. He knew it was useless because Kaelen''s defense, the progenitor power of the werewolf n, existed at an extremely ---- high tier. The more Andrew shed with it using true energy, the more disadvantaged he became. Instead, he had just tested something else. When he struck Kaelen''s head using pure physical force, it worked. Kaelen had been smashed straight into the ground. Realizing this weakness, Andrew had a strategy in mind.


    Nyx watched the man and the wolf intently, her palms slick with sweat. Pure physicalbat was an assassin''s weakness. Moreover, werewolves were naturally tough, with Kaelen''s body capable of near regeneration. If things continued like this, even with Andrew''s abnormal physique, he would likely be at a disadvantage.
