Chapter 95: Indebted

The giant wolf howled before it tore across the field. Its speed appeared like a blur to anyone who had seen it, except for Emery who had casted his stone skin without hesitation and crashed himself against the giant wolf. The clashing of the human and wolf caused a loud boom that disturbed the ever gentle flowing river. 

Due to his stone skin spell, unexpected burst of speed and battle power of 24 (17), which roughly equated to three times the normal prowess of a warrior in terms of strength, speed and endurance, Emery received the upper hand in the bout against the fey creature, throwing it five paces away from him in the middle of the river. Although the wolf lost that round, it didn't appear hurt at all as it quickly stood with its four limbs.
