Chapter 2: First blow

Eric is on the ground at the moment, the rough bumpy ride made him fall from the Wagon and down to the dirt, that impact thankfully helped him wake up. As if the roles reversed, Eric feels like he has woken up to a nightmare.

The reason? Well it is because he found himself surrounded by not one but seven Black Hungry Wolves!

The Wolf pack leader was slowly approaching Eric closer by the second, with his yellow bloody teeth shining and his mouth watering.

The leader just kept growling in a soul trembling freakish way and suddenly stopped after he pushes Eric down to the hard ground with his paw, having no trouble to pin him down.

The Leader's paw being as big as an adult human's hand aided that move. After that the Leader leans down to bite Eric's neck, to end his life.

But is stopped as Eric literally slapped the Wolf, yelling at him to get the hell back. But it had little effect and it pissed of the Wolf, making Eric's death likely more brutal now.

Trembling in fear even though he had the courage to slap a Wolf. Sweating enough that he would have easily been mistaken as a person who just came out of a river, if he was seen by anyone.

His heart beat rapidly increases as he noticed Wolves approaching closer at each side as he fears to lose his life at that moment.

With that fear possessing his soul and body, he was forced to push himself into new abilities, abilities he never thought possible for him to have. He even tested himself before after hearing all the stories of Slaughter.

Eric suddenly uses one hand to grab the Wolf Pack leader by the neck and pulls him down to the position where the leader and Eric are looking at each other's eyes. But this time, the Leader was in fear.

A split second after that, Eric used his other hand to grab the leader's chest which was a grab strong enough to make the Wolf scream in pain and fear.

Afterwards Eric blasted what seemed to be a small Fireball out of his hand. But not just a normal rapidly spreading fireball. This one was different.

It was Fire shaped in a compressed like way. Fire that seemed to rely on its ability to pierce skin, more than it relied on its ability to brutally burn.

It was shaped like a long, slender, rounded piece of metal which first of all pushed through the leaders skin and reached out to his heart, burned it whole and pushed through the leaders back in a blink of an eye, ripping the Leader in two.

It didn't take much until that slender fire turned in to an actual typical fireball which exploded into a bigger size, enough to blast the remains of the bloodthirsty leader ten feet up in the sky, tossing one part at the forest and one part at the road, left there to burn.

The "all mighty" leader is dead, but Eric is still in grave danger because the pack still remains standing around him which was a surprise, they didn't scatter.

Eric has killed the leader, yes. But he has no idea how he did it and he isn't sure how to blast more fireballs out of his hand again.

Several wild Black wolves started ignoring the fact that their leader just got burned to death and without fear they are approaching Eric closer and closer, perhaps the rest of the pack arrived because a moment ago there were only three Wolves remaining.

At this moment, all Eric thought of doing was to cover his head with his arms and hands and just wait for his death.

In a second, a sound... much like a blazing burning fire was easy to hear from a far distance. It didn't take long to feel that the sound was approaching closer every moment.

The Black Wolves ignored that sound, like the wild animals they are. Their main goal is food. It was always food. And Eric is their bite sized target right now.

But that fire like sound turned into something that was impossible to not pay attention to at the moment. Even though the wolves weren't the best at paying attention, this time they had no choice but to glance.

It was clear to see that this sound came from a way bigger Fireball as a Source, it's round blazing shape measured six feet wide.

And this Fireball, unlike the one Eric blasted. Hit one Black Wolf, pushing it against another one that was close to the first and when it reached the third Black Wolf.

It pushed all three of them about twenty feet away from Eric and a heart trembling explosion followed, leaving Eric's mouth wide open.

The explosion was Loud enough to be heard half a mile away no doubt. After that explosion, the fireball just disappeared into thin air. And those three Black Wolves were nowhere to be seen either, reduced into nothingness.

All that remained out of those three wolves was a tooth that flew and bounced it's way near Eric's feet. No ash, nothing.

After that lethal blast, what seemed to be an old mysterious looking man appeared and was slowly approaching with a cold look on his face.

Walking towards Eric and the remaining four living and breathing Black Wolves who are still considered a threat to Eric, but the old man doesn't seem to fear them at all.

After the old man made a stunning entrance, the Wolves quickly lost their attention from Eric and didn't target him anymore. They turned all their attention away from him and ran towards the old, obviously bigger and taller looking human.

Wolves have simple instincts! they hunt whats bigger. But if they can't hunt down what's bigger, they at least keep it away from their meal [Eric].

Even though the old man wasn't obviously going to eat the young boy, the short minded wolves protected their meal.

All the remaining wolves from that pack were running towards the old man, but they did not understand that they aren't just facing against a normal or easy to tackle Human such as Eric.

Quickly taking a breath and blowing blazing hot fire out of his mouth, the old man easily managed set all the four remaining wolves on fire.

Leaving them to howl in pain as they randomly ran from the road to the forest and from the forest to the road out of panic, hoping they are put out of their misery and hoping that they never tried to eat a kid.

Scared of the old man, Eric asked with his voice trembling. "Wha... what are you?"
