Chapter 52

==Summery==
Marcus fluctuated his mana output to make it look like he could only temporarily hide, to encourage them to keep following him into the ambush. Eight Shifters surrounded him like a wolf pack to delay his escape. He allowed them to close in on him and wound him, to appear to the Sorcerer as a desperate wounded animal, and not a threat. He killed four, before escaping with a stomach wound, but due to his regeneration abilities, he wasn't actually seriously wounded. His need to run from these weaker Shifter opponents, made his earlier victory against the Roman squad, appear like he had only beat them due to his cowardly ambush. He then "barely" moved fast enough to avoid the next pincer attack. As he neared closer to the dangerous entity in the forest, the roman legion and sorcerer became more desperate to stop him, as they didn't want to confront it. The sorcerer cut off his path, and blocked his senses by lighting the surrounding forest on fire. Marcus separated some vitae from the core in his arm, to form a second smaller core, which he moved to high right eye, which then began to transform, rapidly increasing the sharpness of his vision and allowing him to see clearly through the fire and smoke. The enemy waited eagerly on the other side of the flames, while the entity behind him began to awake, but knowing that the Romans had poor visibility, were scattered, and their sorcerer was exhausted from over-using magic, Marcus was excited.
