"Tch!" Lycan exclaimed as he immediately tried to use his other claw in an attempt to damage the enemy, but it was ineffective as well.
Lycan thought that the had already pinned down the movements and attacks of the enemy but is surprised by how powerful the vibration that hit him was. The attack was almost silent, yet it pierced through a layer of his skin. This is an incredible feat as Lycan's skin is protected by sturdy fur whenever he is in his transformed state. The attack basically bypassed his fur and dealt direct damage to his skin and muscles.
"Fortunately, it seems that the attack does not have any piercing capabilities which means Ain is safe as I block it with my body. The question would be is how long I can protect him when only a minute has passed since that exchange." Lycan stated as he could see that Ain was still meditating.
Ain is in a state of perfect trance that anything outside will never alert him or bother him. He could be woken up from this state, but he could also be instantly killed while doing it. This is the reason that he does not like using this move as he would be vulnerable to attacks of others. The longer his meditation then the stronger and longer the duration of what he is about to do.
Lycan made sure to not wander too far from Ain as he made sure that they have at most a distance of one or two meters. Being farther than that would make Lycan unable to defend Ain from attacks of the enemies. Lycan is actually telling himself that they are fortunate because there are no other enemies other than the one that they are trying to kill. Then again, Lycan could see why there were no other enemies around them.
"Its vibrations are so powerful that even its allies will explode with just a small contact. It also needs lot more space in order to move about without obstruction. Having allies around will just make it more difficult to maneuver especially if it moves like a dragonfly." Lycan thought as he knows about the unpredictability of a dragonfly's flight.
Just as he is now defending Ain, the enemy does not attack the same way as it would easily halt its charge and maneuver to another way. The flight pattern was so jumbled that it was difficult to hit but that also meant that it is not adept at dealing with targets that stay stationary. Lycan no longer circled around Ain as a way to protect him but stopped in a specific spot.
Just as Lycan froze in place, he felt the killing intent of the enemy that is still locked onto Ain. The difference this time is that Lycan easily reached the path where he thinks the enemy will attack. He empowered his claws with darkness and slashed in that specific direction. The killing intent of the enemy suddenly diminished, and his body is hit by a sonic wave, but he laughed.
When Lycan empowers his claws with darkness, it will also send out a slash projectile in the shape of his claw attack. He laughed not because he was damaged, and his insides felt funny, but he was able to clip a part of the tail that the enemy has. A foot long tail that has the look of a vine could be seen dropping to the ground as the enemy finally revealed itself as it hissed at Lycan.

"No wonder you look ugly." Lycan stated but the Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid hissed at him as if it was offended by what he said.
The Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid picked up its sliced tail and devoured it which would make anyone puke at the sight. Lycan did not even believe what he is seeing but the tail that the Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid recovered when it did so. The health it had only recovered by 1% but its body has returned to normal. Lycan immediately knew why the Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid did this.
The Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid cannot fly at its top speed without its tail as this would make it unable to balance properly. He has encountered monsters like this as they have a specific sense of physiological balance. Any changes to this balance would destroy the movement of their body which results in them dying easily.
"Shahash!" The Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid hissed once again at Lycan as it suddenly used its arms to pierce its back.
Lycan did not stay idle for what will happen next as he knew that this was a perfect opportunity, and he also felt scared when the Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid tried slashing at its back. The Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid looked like it was trying to free something from its back and Lycan will not stay still while it does this. He morphed into a more wolf like appearance and coated himself in darkness as he charged towards the Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid.
The Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid saw what Lycan did and immediately went into defensive position. It vibrated its four dragonfly wings at such a fast speed that it released sonic blasts that directly hit Lycan's body. The power of the sonic blasts chipped away at the darkness that covered Lycan's body, but he endured it. When Lycan was closer to the Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid, he morphed to a bipedal form and used his two claws to try and rip apart the enemy.
Lycan thought that he would be able to destroy the enemy's head, but the Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid suddenly rolled back, and his claws landed on the back of the enemy. The Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid emitted a weird noise as its back was almost destroyed by Lycan, but an uncomfortable buzzing sound is suddenly heard. Lycan looked horrified at what he has unleashed despite dealing great damage to the Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid.
Two more sets of wings emerged from the slashed back of the Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid. It was already a pain to deal with when it had four wings but now the number doubled. Lycan sensed danger and was about to gain some distance, but he was far too slow. All eight of the Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid buzzed and created a powerful shockwave that hit Lycan all around. "Argh!" Lycan exclaimed as his entire body was hit by numerous soundwaves.
Lycan's body felt like it was pounded and if his bones were not sturdy then he would have become a meat paste. He was even bleeding from all of his orifices, but he pushed through due to the powerful regeneration of a wolf. Lycan suddenly felt the powerful bloodlust of the Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid as if it was a tidal wave. He thought that he would actually die now because the enemy is not a good match for him, but a sudden humming sound exploded from Ain.
Lycan and even the Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid actually forgot about him for a second because of their intense match but he was finally finished meditating. A humming sound erupted from Ain's body as it is suddenly coated in a blue fearsome aura that terrified the Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid. The power that erupted from Ain's body made him the prime target of the Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid as it blindly charged towards him.

Ain's clothes that was tight on his body which accentuated his built body is suddenly clothed with flowy robes that are made with silver and gold silk. His face is suddenly covered with a fox mask as his eyes burned in a blue flame. One could even see the silhouette of nine fox tails behind him before it disappeared.
"Sage Arts: Fox God - Kitsune No Tsume." Ain stated calmly but his arms were suddenly covered in dense aura.
Ain made a gentle pushing motion, but a silhouette of a fox suddenly clawed at the Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid. This simple motion from Ain actually stopped the Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid on its tracks and pinned it to the ground. The Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid hissed furiously as it bombarded Ain with sonic blasts as its wings could still vibrate at a high speed.
"Sage Arts: Fox God - Kitsune No Shippo." Ain stated with a voice so calm.
The fox silhouette behind him suddenly used nine of its tails to create a barrier that defended Ain from the sonic blasts. The Leshy Dragonfly Hybrid tried to escape from Ain's paws, but it could not. It can only release powerful blasts of sound in an attempt to escape.
