Silver Fang Sutra: The Doctor of War

Chapter 3: The Siege of Galdur Monastery

The monastery shook like the bones of a dying beast.

The first strike against the gates thundered through its ruined halls, splinters flying like shards of bone. Azael stood before the doors, sword in hand, cloak snapping in the icy wind that howled through the broken windows. Behind him, thirty loyal wolves waited, blades drawn, their breaths white clouds in the cold air.

Outside, horns blared again. A thousand boots marched in rhythm, each step a promise of slaughter.

“They come as a flood,” whispered Serik, the scarred soldier at Azael’s side. His voice trembled, but his grip on his axe was iron.

Azael’s gaze never wavered. “Then we will be the mountain that splits the flood.”

The gates buckled again under a ram of steel.

The First Breach

With a final crack, the wooden gates exploded inward. Shards flew. The first wave of armored soldiers poured into the courtyard, their shields raised, spears bristling.

Azael’s wolves roared in defiance, charging forward with steel and fury.

The clash was immediate and merciless. Steel screamed against steel. Arrows whistled through the air, finding throats, eyes, and unarmored joints. Blood splashed across the cracked stones of the monastery courtyard.

Azael moved like a storm. His blade flashed silver in the dim firelight, carving clean arcs through flesh and armor alike. Each strike was measured, surgical, unstoppable. He severed a man’s arm at the elbow, spun, and opened another from collarbone to hip.

“Hold the line!” he bellowed, his voice a hammer striking against despair.

The wolves obeyed. Though outnumbered ten to one, they fought with the ferocity of beasts cornered.

The Shadow of the Council

Amid the chaos, Azael’s eyes caught a figure standing beyond the carnage—tall, cloaked, untouched by the fray. A Council emissary. His face was hidden, but his voice carried across the battlefield like poison in the wind.

“Surrender the Sutra, War Doctor,” the emissary called. “Your cause is lost. Lay down your blade, and your death will be swift.”

Azael’s laugh was a sound without mirth. “I was a doctor once. I know the sound of infection. And your Council is a plague.”

The emissary did not flinch. His hand lifted. At his command, another wave of soldiers surged forward, their armored boots pounding like drums of war.

The Sutra Unleashed

The wolves were faltering. Bodies piled high near the shattered gates. Blood slicked the stones. For every enemy they felled, three more took his place.

Serik fell to one knee, blood pouring from a spear wound in his side. “We… can’t… hold them!”

Azael’s grip tightened on his blade. His shoulder burned with the memory of the arrow that had pierced him the night before. His lungs screamed for rest. But his eyes—his eyes blazed.

“It is time,” he muttered.

Closing his eyes, he whispered the forbidden chant of the Silver Fang Sutra. Words carved into his soul, words not spoken in centuries, spilled from his lips like shards of fire.

The air shifted.

His sword shimmered, veins of silver glowing brighter, pulsing as though alive. The very air around him seemed to ripple.

When he opened his eyes again, they were no longer just gray—they burned with a predator’s light.

He moved.

Faster than any man his age should move, faster than the eyes of the Council’s soldiers could follow. His blade cut not wide arcs but precise incisions, slipping through gaps in armor, slicing tendons, puncturing arteries. He did not fight like a warrior. He fought like a surgeon dissecting the battlefield.

Men screamed as they fell, clutching wounds too exact, too merciless. To them it was butchery. To Azael, it was mastery.

The emissary’s mask tilted ever so slightly. Even he seemed unsettled.

Wolves’ Howl

With their leader’s fury igniting them, the wolves rallied. Serik, bleeding and pale, rose with a roar, cleaving an enemy’s helm in two. Another soldier, her face streaked with tears and blood, fought like a demon at Azael’s side.

“Push them back!” Azael thundered.

And they did. Inch by inch, they drove the Council’s men toward the broken gates, their blades painting the snow in crimson arcs.

For a moment, hope flickered. For a moment, it seemed the wolves might hold.

The Monster Revealed

Then the emissary raised his hand.

From the shadows of the forest beyond the gates, something stirred. Chains rattled. The ground trembled.

And then it came.

A beast in man’s shape, taller than two men, its skin pale and stretched tight over muscle, its eyes burning with unnatural fire. Shackles clung to its wrists and ankles, etched with runes that glowed faintly.

A weapon of the Council.

Gasps tore from the wolves’ throats. Even Azael’s jaw clenched as he recognized what stood before them.

A Fleshbound. One of the Council’s abominations—men twisted by forbidden alchemy into monsters of war.

The creature roared, the sound rattling the very stones of the monastery.

And then it charged.

The Clash of Beasts

The Fleshbound slammed into the wolves, scattering them like straw. Its fists crushed men like insects, bones snapping with sickening cracks. Azael’s warriors screamed, some breaking, some standing firm only to be torn apart.

Azael stepped forward, blade ready.

“Back,” he ordered, voice like iron. “This one is mine.”

The Fleshbound turned, its burning eyes locking on him. It snarled, lips peeling back from broken teeth.

Azael raised his silver-veined sword. His muscles tensed. His breath steadied. He whispered once more the words of the Sutra.

And then, with the fury of a wolf, he charged to meet the monster.

    Silver Fang Sutra: The Doctor of WarChapter 196 — “Elaris: The City of Light”1. A World Without Its HealerElaris had known silence before — the silence of fear, the silence of war, the silence of grief.But this silence was different.It was the silence of a city holding its breath… waiting for a heartbeat that no longer existed.The morning after the Silver Light swept across the world, the air felt strangely weightless, as if the very sky mourned the man who had once held it together. Every street, every rooftop, every window glowed pale gold — the aftertaste of Azaan’s final miracle.Elara Grey stood in the center of the infirmary courtyard, the cracked pendant clutched to her chest. Around her, the last batch of cured patients were awakening — blinking in confusion, touching their healed skin, whispering prayers of disbelief.“He saved us…” someone murmured.“He saved everyone,” another whispered.Elara closed her eyes.“Yes,” she breathed. “And he paid the price alone.”For th

  • The Healer’s Farewell

    Silver Fang Sutra: The Doctor of WarChapter 195 — “The Healer’s Farewell”1. The City That Learned to Breathe AgainElaris woke to the sound of wind chimes — the kind once forbidden during the age of war. Now they hung from every rebuilt home, singing softly with the morning breeze.The hospitals that once reeked of blood and gunmetal now carried the scent of herbs and clean water. Children played on marble steps where once soldiers had marched. The banner above the old fortress now read in silver ink:“He who heals, reigns.”Dr. Azaan Raheem moved through the narrow lanes with his satchel in hand, still wearing the same tattered coat. The people bowed as he passed, but he never let them kneel too long. “Stand up,” he’d say gently. “The world doesn’t need another god — it needs hands willing to heal.”Beside him, Elara Grey walked silently. Her gaze softened at every turn — watching him tend to wounds, plant herbs in old craters, and speak to orphans as if each one carried the future

  • The Child of Two Suns

    Silver Fang Sutra: The Doctor of WarChapter 194 — “The Child of Two Suns”1. Dawn Over the Silent DesertThe sun rose twice that morning.Not in the sky — but in the reflection of two lights spreading across the horizon: one silver, one crimson. The war was over, but its echoes were not.Dr. Azaan Raheem sat silently on the dune, the wind combing through his hair. His coat was tattered, but his pulse — the faint, stubborn beat of a healer’s heart — still carried on.Beside him, Elara Grey adjusted the bandage on his shoulder. Her touch was gentle but firm, as if afraid that letting go would mean he’d vanish again.“You shouldn’t be alive,” she whispered, half a sob, half a prayer.Azaan smiled faintly. “You’ve said that before.”“Yes. And you’ve defied death every time.”A silence followed, deep and sacred. The desert around them, once a graveyard of light, now felt alive again — whispering with warmth instead of sorrow.But the quiet didn’t last long.A ripple passed through the san

  • The Crimson Oasis

    Silver Fang Sutra: The Doctor of WarChapter 193 — “The Crimson Oasis”1. Sands of the Fallen SunThe desert stretched beyond sight — an ocean of red-gold dunes glimmering under a dying sun. The air shimmered with heat, but beneath that beauty, there was death. Every grain of sand here was said to hold memory — echoes of the blood spilled during the First Sutra War.Dr. Azaan Raheem walked beside Elara, their boots sinking softly into the dust. The horizon burned like fire, but the real inferno was in Azaan’s heart.He hadn’t spoken since they left the Ridge.The storm had taken everything — his control, his calm, and the illusion that Raif’s death had brought peace. Now the truth gnawed at him like rust.Raif hadn’t died.Or worse — his soul had been preserved.Elara finally broke the silence. “You’ve been walking for hours without saying a word. You can’t keep punishing yourself for what happened.”He stopped. The wind carried their silence.“I’m not punishing myself,” he said, voic

    Silver Fang Sutra: The Doctor of WarChapter 192 — “The Storm Riders of Blood”1. The Sky That Bled SilverThe mountains were weeping thunder.Dark clouds rippled across the horizon like torn banners, and lightning flashed against the high cliffs of Mournvale Ridge, where the winds screamed through broken monasteries of old.Dr. Azaan Raheem stood at the edge of the ruined plateau, his coat whipping violently in the storm. His body still carried the faint glow of the Silver Sutra, though it flickered now — a dying ember fighting against the cold of the world.Below him, hundreds of black-winged drones — the Blood Couriers — moved through the mist like a swarm of mechanical crows. Their scarlet optics burned, scanning every rock, every breath, every whisper of movement.Azaan didn’t move. He could feel their rhythm. The sound of their engines, the pulse of their machine hearts — he could hear the Sutra’s echo in them.They were built using fragments of his own Doctrine.And that meant
