Capítulo 17: Running Away While Desperately Fighting
.
.
.
Grasping the snow with my claws, I run for my life.
I defeated the big boss out of pure reflexes and by risking my life and letting him get close to me.
But I cannot possibly fight all six of these guys, who are all tightly packed together.
And unlike I thought, they were not intimidated when I took down their boss. In fact, they are even more enraged!
I cannot manage to let them so separate, they are all running together, just a few centimeters from each other.
The pack leader was probably too enraged, possibly he was the mate of the female I ate…
Ugh.
How would I know she had such a vengeful husband?!
Well, he is dead too, but their pack is thirsty for my dragon blood!
I manage to outspeed them thanks to the dexterity I gained after cultivating and eating the rabbit and the ice wolf core from earlier, but their dexterity is way higher than mine, I am just using my Ice Absorption to slowly regenerate more mana and increase my speed by enhancing my muscles with it, although it does not come as close as the amount I can regenerate if I meditate.
The worst part, there are no cliffs in here to help me!
Well, not like jumping off a cliff would be that good of an idea.
I have to be faster, faster, faster!
"Grawr!"
Suddenly, one of the wolves quickly pounces towards me accompanied by two more at each of his sides!
They enhance themselves with mana just like I did, and aim their jaws towards my tail, they want to pull me!
CRUNCH!
Ugg!
They actually grabbed my tail, but you know what?!
ICE KNIFE!
I quickly generate an ice knife and use it to pierce the eyes of the wolf that managed to bite my tail, as it groans in agony and lets go of me, of course, he already took off a large chunk of my flesh.
The rest of the flesh of my tail falls over the snow, tainting it all with crimson red, leaving a trail behind me.
Ugh, it hurts like hell!
My tail was bitten from the bone, and almost half of it was torn apart!
It hurts like fucking hell!
However, Immortal Body kicks in quickly after, thanks to my stockpiled calories, it is working as intended and the wound seals itself while the tail begins to grow slowly.
The Wolves who are rather intelligent notice how my tail is just growing back, but even then, they don't think "Oh, it's immortal?! Then we cannot beat it!", in fact, they try to aim once more at my still-growing tail!
I glance at my mana within a millisecond, I still got around 70, I can do this!
One of them is down as it lost its eyesight, but the other five are already closing in once more.
I quickly begin to analyze them as well, their mana is decreasing!
Although I bet they still have the stamina to run, without their mana to enhance their bodies, they will not be able to catch up to me.
However, their bite is so strong that even without mana they are deadly, they were able to easily slice through my flesh and ignore my scales with their sabretooth-like fangs!
In fact, their fangs went through my flesh like a hot knife through butter, I am incredibly weak!
"Groooowl!"
Suddenly, three more enhance their bodies for the last time, consuming all of their mana as a wave of icy winds pushes them towards me, their three jaws aiming at my tail, back, and neck!
However, I do their same trick!
I unleash a gust of wind and quickly manage to evade their powerful bites, leaving all three of them to hit the ground with their jaws.
Phew…
I keep running, as I become faster and faster, and they get slower and slower.
However, they are not giving up!
Even if they are slower than me, they are chasing me like crazy!
What should I do now?
I look around my surroundings, there are only the large rocky walls of the mountains surrounding us, and the pine forest…
Fuck it, let's go to the forest!
I quickly delve into the forest, surprising the wolves who thought I was just going to go through the snow, and they are forced to separate due to the trees getting in their way.
Aha! So there was a benefit to getting into the forest.
Maybe if they separate I can take them down one by one?
No, my mana is not regenerating in time!
I regenerate ten mana per minute, and my current mana is [52/171].
I can generate an ice knife and a gust of wind for 10 mana, and I need around two to six to even kill a single wolf, if I can aim well, however, it can even be reduced to 1 projectile or 2…
Ugh, this calculating is hurting my brain!
I cannot do this while running for my life!
Suddenly, as I delve deeper into the forest, I find a lake!
It stopped me right from my path, and I hear the wolves getting closer all around me!
I quickly try to go around the lake, but suddenly, the water begins to shake!
No… Do not tell me…!
SPLASH!
Suddenly, a giant alligator-like monster emerges from the water, covered in crystal-like scales and roaring menacingly!
It begins chasing me down while opening and closing its jaws!
As I run for my life, I analyze this thing!
<Ice Gator (Rank 1 (Middle Stage)>
What?!
Middle Stage? You are kidding me, right?
I run with my small ad nimble body, and the gator, however, gets slower as I run more, it seems that it is clearly not suited to run long distances!
However, three wolves suddenly emerge from the trees at my side, jumping directly towards me!
Shit!
I quickly use a gust of wind and jump into the air for a few seconds, the wolves hit the ground and… right in front of the gator!
"GRAAAAWR!"
The gator quickly begins to attack them, grasping one of the wolves with its giant jaws and crushing its rib cage!
"Awoooo!"
The others begin to attack the gator so it could let go of their companion, while I take this opportunity to run for my life!
I enter once more into the trees, as I hear two wolves getting near me!
From my left, and from my right side!
Suddenly, I glance at my Mana, it is about to drop to zero!
That gust of wind that threw me into the air cost way too much!
Without any other option than to fight for my life, I brace myself!
I am going to survive!
