Chapter 28: Ch 28: Three-eyed Horned Wolves (2)
"Roar!"
The two wolves howled in pain as their vitality slowly faded.
Emrys did not stop there, right after he broke out of the encirclement, he spun back and separated another wolf's neck.
Just like that, in a few seconds, Emrys took care of three wolves.
Growl~
However, it was not the time to appreciate Emrys's strength and calculation. Three wolves, with their eyes completely red, growled in fury. Emrys killed three of them in a matter of few seconds, this proved how dangerous Emrys's existence was for them. They knew they had to kill Emrys as soon as possible.
On the other hand, Rohan and Cairo were struggling to fight six wolves by themselves. There was no doubt they were stronger; however, being besieged by a pack of wolves was not a simple matter. If they wanted to kill the wolves, they had to either demonstrate overwhelming strength or possess a mind capable of calculating most of the opponents' moves beforehand, like Emrys.
Emrys couldn't be said to be overwhelmingly powerful. He was able to kill three wolves in just a few seconds purely because of his sharp mind.
While the two of them were unable to kill a single wolf, they were at least uninjured and able to continue fighting against the six wolves without losing their ground.
"Roar!"
The three wolves pounced on Emrys together. They knew they could not underestimate Emrys, so when they attacked this time, it was not a simple pounce. The horns on their heads glowed with light. Three deadly rays were shot at Emrys altogether, wanting to blow his head into pieces.
Emrus's movements were swift and calculated as he faced the three wolves lunging toward him. Without hesitation, he brought his blade down with precision, meeting the first wolf's attack head-on. Simultaneously, he dropped to one knee, narrowly evading the deadly rays aimed at his head. With a fluid motion, he raised his left hand, positioning it defensively in front of his head.
"Argh!"
The next moment, Emrys groaned in pain.
His right shoulder was bitten by one wolf, while another wolf sank its teeth into his left arm. Meanwhile, Emrys's sword clashed directly with the fang of the third wolf, breaking it. The force of the impact sent the wolf flying several meters before it crashed to the ground.
Emrys's attack was unexpected and devastating. Not only was the wolf's fang broken, but its horn was also missing. The cut was clean, though some traces on the clear cut indicated prior damage to the horn. It seems that the horn of this Three-eyed Horned Wolf was somehow damaged before.
The wounded wolf lay on the ground, teetering on the brink of death.
Emrys was not in the condition to watch the third wolf. He tried to hit the wolf biting his left arm with the hilt of the blade. Unexpectedly, the hilt hit the wolf's horn, easily shattering the horn into pieces.
The wolf growled in pain and dropped to the ground, entering the same condition as the previous wolf.
Something seemed to strike Emrys's mind. He realized that the horns appeared to be a fatal weakness of these Three-eyed Horned Wolves. After attacking once with their horn, the horn seemed to lose its defensive properties, entering a weakened state. Once in this state, it could break with just the slightest force. And once the horn was broken, the wolf would lose all its strength and start dying.
A light sparked in his eyes. Without hesitation, he struck the third wolf's horn, shattering it to pieces as well. Then, he slashed with his knife, slicing the necks of three wolves one after another, killing them easily.
Huff! Huff! Huff!
Emrys gasped for breath. Although he successfully killed six wolves in a very short period, he was not without injury. His right shoulder and left arm were bleeding profusely.
Hurriedly opening the backpack, he took out a fluid and sprinkled it on the wounds. This was a healing liquid that Emrys obtained from the remains of previous groups of warriors.
The wounds churned, sending waves of chill to Emrys's hand. Emrys almost felt his hand freezing.
This was the side-effect of this healing liquid due to its poor quality. However, his wounds at least now stopped bleeding.
Finally, he shifted his attention to Rohan and Cairo. Both of them were far from their top condition. Several places on their bodies were bitten by wolves. They were injured, and bleeding.
After a tough fight, the two of them managed to kill three wolves, leaving three behind. However, Rohan and Cairo had already lost too much blood. They were tired and unable to bring out their full potential, making the battle very difficult even though only three wolves remained.
They were struggling.
All of a sudden, Emrys saw a wolf taking advantage of the opportunity when Rohan threw a punch to sneak attack him from the side. It opened its big mouth, wanting to swallow Rohan's head.
"Be careful!"
Emrys was shocked when he saw this. He used the Node Shift without hesitation.
Rohan suddenly raised his leg and kicked the top of the wolf's head, right on the chin of the wolf. His attack was heavy, kicking the wolf to a height of more than a meter.
It was also at this time, Emrys appeared right below the wolf, cutting his neck from the body easily.
As he fell, he made use of gravity, bringing the E-1 Alloy Knife in front of him, piercing deep into the ground. With the speed at which he descended and the support of the knife's hilt, he thrust himself toward another wolf, punching hard at the wolf's eyes.
"Roar!"
The wolf roared in pain.
Emrys moved his feet. He waved his fist and started punching without stopping. Each of his punches was extremely powerful and fast.
The wolf was unable to resist at all. It can only retreat continuously and groan in pain.
Cairo seized the opportunity created by Emrys's attack, piercing his sword straight into the wolf's head.
Just like that, only one wolf remained that was easily taken care of by Rohan and Cairo.
The Wolf King was still hidden. It was very clever. It observed that its subordinates were slain by Emrys's group of three, however, it kept its emotions in check and remained hidden. It did not come out.
Emrys knew that the danger would not disappear as long as the Wolf King was there. If they want to truly get out of this dangerous situation, they have to kill the Wolf King.
