章 11: Another One
'Why there's two of them?!'
Clyde's eyes widened at the sight of another Wolf rushing toward Sonya.
They were already quite far apart, did Clyde still have time to save Sonya?
Clyde immediately turned around and ran towards Sonya.
However, the Silver Lunar Wolf had already noticed Clyde's existence.
The wolf jumped from the top of the shop and landed in front of him.
"Shit!" Clyde cursed.
He gritted his teeth. He wouldn't be able to save Sonya in time.
The wolf in front of him opened its mouth and was about to grab Clyde. But Clyde immediately dodges by jumping backward.
On the other hand, Sonya was already running to avoid the Wolf that chasing her.
Sonya's running speed was much faster than a normal human because of her Private Attribute.
'Fuck fuck fuck!' Sonya screamed in her heart.
She jumps between abandoned cars and trucks nimbly.
Wolf in her back chases her and destroys cars and trucks with its claws.
The sound of trucks and cars being thrown was very loud in the middle of the night.
Then Sonya turned into an alley.
The Wolf jumped and immediately landed right in front of the alley where Sonya had turned. But the Wolf didn't see her.
The alley was too narrow for it to enter, so the Wolf just sniffed Sonya's presence.
However, even with his keen sense of smell, the Wolf couldn't find her.
Sonya was still in the alley. She stared at the muzzle that had entered the alley and sniffed like a predator looking for its prey.
The reason why the Wolf couldn't find Sonya was because she used her Skill. [Stealth].
With that skill, Sonya could eliminate her existence. Sonya was relieved that she had the Skill.
Sonya drew her arrow and aimed it at the Wolf's eyes.
[ Hunter's Marker (Lv.1) is activated! ]
Sonya's eyes glowed purple. She had marked the Wolf as her prey.
That way, the damage from the attacks she inflicted on the Wolf would be doubled.
*SYUT!*
Sonya's arrow shot and hit the Wolf's eye.
The big Wolf jerked back and groaned in pain.
Sonya creates another arrow and then shoots again.
Unfortunately, the arrow bounced as soon as it touched the Wolf's fur which turned out to be very tough.
"Damnit!" Sonya cursed.
In that case, she had to aim for the other eye to deal damage to the Wolf.
But the Wolf was moving wildly through the streets because of the pain.
This opportunity was used by Sonya to get out of the alley and go to a more suitable place for aiming.
Suddenly a sedan came out of the intersection.
Sonya turned and realized that it was the car they had seen this afternoon. The car stopped and four people got out.
They couldn't see Sonya because she was still using [Stealth].>
"There are two Silver Lunar Wolf!" said Reed.
The four of them saw a man fighting one Silver Lunar Wolf and another one who was moving wildly with arrows stuck in its eyes.
"Which one is ours?" asked Mona.
There was no way of knowing which Silver Lunar Wolf for their Quest was.
But amid the confusion, Rodney came up with a solution.
"If we can kill those two monsters. Whichever it is won't be a problem."
His three friends immediately agreed.
'They took the same Quest?'
Sonya, who was quite close can hear them.
"Reed, Mona, you help that guy. Eric and I will fight the other Wolf," Rodney ordered.
They all immediately agreed and started to move.
'Who exactly are they?' Sonya wondered. 'Ah, it doesn't matter now. Looks like we're on the same side so it's a good thing!'
Sonya moved and walked over to the two men who were walking toward the Wolf she had just shot.
She disabled [Stealth] and appeared behind them.
"Hi."
Rodney and Eric turned around and brandished their weapons.
Rodney brandished a black katana while Eric brandished his shortsword.
In Eric's other hand, there was a round shield. They all looked at Sonya warily.
"Who are you? how did you appear all of a sudden?!" asked Rodney.
"I put the arrow in that Wolf's eye. But we don't have time for long introductions now, do we? My name is Sonya and let's kill the Wolf first," Sonya said.
Eric and Rodney looked at each other. Then lower the weapon.
"Okay, come on!" Rodney said.
The three of them ran towards the still-raging Silver Lunar Wolf.
On the other hand, Clyde was trying to dodge the Silver Lunar Wolf's claws which were continuously moving fast without giving him any openings.
Some of the claws managed to hit him. But the Dark Night Coat he was wearing gave him strong protection.
Despite being scratched several times, Clyde suffered no injuries.
Suddenly the Wolf stopped attacking.
Its clear-looking fur swelled up and then shot toward Clyde as hundreds of ice needles.
Clyde spread his arms.
[ Burning Hand (Lv.3) activated! ]
Clyde's hands were enveloped in flames. Then the flames shot forward.
The ice needle hit Clyde's torrent of flames and disappeared in an instant.
With his left hand shrouded in flames, Clyde stood before the Wolf.
Previously he had a hard time attacking because the Wolf moved so fast.
Now it had stopped and given him enough distance.
"Now it's my turn." Clyde grinned.
Clyde spread his arms, and flames shot toward the Wolf and instantly enveloped it. However, the Wolf immediately dodges Clyde's flames.
Clyde didn't let it escape too far. He ran after the Wolf.
He added Stat points to Agility and now his Agility was at level 6. That way, Clyde could catch up to the Wolf with ease.
Mona and Reed who previously wanted to help him stopped on the spot after seeing what Clyde was doing.
"Burning Hands," muttered Reed. "That's Burning Hand, right?"
Mona saw it too. At this early stage, he shouldn't be able to buy [Burning Hand].
But they knew that what they saw was indeed [Burning Hand].
"Yes," Mona answered "And he's so fast."
They saw Clyde catch up with the Wolf and slash his sword.
But as they had expected, the sword bounced against the Wolf's clear and tough fur.
Knowing that Clyde put his sword in its scabbard and decided to fight with [Burning Hand].
Now both of Clyde's hands were covered in flames. Then he threw two fireballs at the Wolf.
The fireball hit the Wolf and shattered its tough fur.
"Does he need help now?" asked Reed, feeling helpless.
Mona who also saw what Clyde had just done was taken aback.
'Who exactly is that guy?'
