Post 14
A feral growl came from the back of the werewolf's throat as each of his attacks met nothing but air. Now, he was really starting to grow irritated at how everything he did seemed to be totally ineffective. And to top it all off, the now feral Protean found himself trapped in a sudden tornado. Harsh winds buffeted his eyes and nose, illiciting another snarl from him. But then, his legs suddenly gave out as an unseen barrage of blows assaulted them.
Falling to his knees and snarling once more, Protean's face was suddenly slammed by another blow. Even if his mind was now bordering on primitive, it didn't take a rocket scientist to know what was going on. Protean had already witnessed Keno somehow produce a replication of himself since and it was likely that one or more of those things were what assailing his body at the moment. Another blow to the jaw, and a stream blood began seep through broken gums and from below one eye. Something had to be done and now if the werewolf was going to survive. But at the moment, he couldn't think of a plan. Luckily for him, he had some help.
All throughout the punishing blows, a slight change began to form in his eyes. The pupils shrunk and Protean's vision began to grow hazy and almost like he was looking through a fun-house mirror. An instant later, they sharp but everything was covered in a dull purplish hue. But what was most noticeable, was how the air was suddenly filled with the spirits of wolves. Each one appeared to be little more than puffs of white mist, yet they still retained the shape they had in life. They growled, snarled at each other, and then howled in unison as if calling to Protean. At that moment, Protean answered their call.
It happened right after another series of blows assaulted his body. Blood covered his muzzle and his body ached tremendously from bruises and tired muscles. But, that didn't stop his neck from craning back, looking directly at the ascended Keno, and unleashing a howl of that mirrored the howls Protean heard. Almost as if in response, a myriad of bolts of phantasmic lightning erupted from the air overhead them all, each one arcing to strike Keno and his replications at the speed of light.
At the same time, 35 of the ghost wolves suddenly arced downwards and entered Protean's body through his back. The change that followed was near instantaneous. A supernova of light, a booming howl, and Protean was no longer really himself, but a Spectre. Spectre Mode, to be exact. With new found strength and with another use of the Wind Runner, Protean was shooting up towards where Keno was floating. But this time, it was twenty times faster than before. More than enough power to generate a ring of force to blow away the two replications nearest him off their feet when he took off.
While all of this was going on, Alastor Guardian had set his sights on the two replications on the ground. The vampiric spirit dwelling within the axe could sense the sheer amount of ki within each one. In fact, it was highly believeable that they were made of nothing but ki, meaning no internal organs, bones, or anything truly living. In short, Alastor Guardian saw them as two buffets.
Without a word or even a sound for that matter, the black knight had vanished and reappeared behind the one closest to him. He swung his axe horizontally to the right, then swung it again to the left faster than the eye could see. Crimson yet hollow eyes were consumed with a depthless hunger for their ki and an aura of living shadow began to coat the ghost knight's form. A deeper aura surrounded the weapon itself, and strands of it began to grow and reach for the two oppenents with each swing. Like the spirit itself was reaching forward to drain them dry.

< By the way, when Alastor absorbs one's ki, does he simply gain power or does his energy become like the being he leeched?>>
