บท 23: Battling Wolves Part 1
After some thought, he shook his head and returned his attention to the road. They arrived near the bushes after a few minutes. Peter came to a halt and blocked Alice with his hand. He took a quick glance around and then pulled out his sword.
Bang!
He slashed his sword without thinking about mana. When the sword point shifted slightly downward, it impacted with the wolf's claw. When the wolf came in front of Peter, he looked around and cried, "Get behind me and duck!"
As soon as he stated it, Alice knelt as Peter pulled out another blade and deflected the wolf's claw. He closed his eyes slightly and extinguished the flames from his sword.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Bang!
The wolf retreated as soon as the flames covered his swords. Peter, on the other hand, put his foot to the ground and moved beside the first wolf. He pumped one point of his internal energy into his fist.
"Tch! System, increase my strength by two stat points!"
"Bone Crushing Fist"
Bang! Splash!
Because he felt that his fist's power was still low, he immediately requested that the system boost his strength. His agility was already impressive. As a result, when he let go of his fist, the wolf couldn't avoid it. His punch punctured the wolf's stomach, drenching his hand with blood.
'Did I really squander two stat points?'
When he discovered that his fist pierced the wolf's body so easily, he regretted wasting the stat points on strength so quickly. He expected the wolf's defense to be stronger than the goblins. And he was correct. However, he was already utilizing his internal energy.
[Gained 20 EXP]
Then he enhanced his strength by two points. He had forgotten about the rule that each level makes a difference.
'Well, it doesn't really matter. But shouldn't these wolves have more EXP?'
"Greed!"
He used his greed skill without hesitation. He stomps his foot on the ground and front flips himself while holding the sword. The wolf that had retreated rushed towards Alice, as Peter struck at the wolf with the flames in his sword.
"Blazing Strike!"
Bang!
The enormous arc of flame is released by the blade. The arc traveled at breakneck speed towards the wolf until it collided with it.
"Alice!" Peter yelled and tossed a sword at Alice to protect her. She would have been gravely hurt if he had arrived a few seconds later. However, he was still hundreds of meters distant from the wolf lair.
As a result, he was perplexed as to why they had come here. But he didn't have time to think about it. His gaze shifted to the right side and began to travel towards it.
The wolf hurried away from there, and it was almost the closest one. He wanted to ask Alice to leave, but he recognized that if she did, she would be pursued. That's why he gave her the sword, so she could protect herself.
"Blazing Strike!"
His sword rose to the sky, imbued with fire mana. He came to a halt and poured all of his might into his sword. The fire condensed into a flaming arc that moved towards the wolf as soon as he swings the sword.
Whoosh! Bang! Thud! Boom!
However, this wolf abruptly released a compressed wind from his claw. The compressed wind collides with the flame, and the flame explodes in the following second. The explosion flew around and smacked Peter to the ground.
'Damn! I almost forgot that these wolves are called Wind Wolves. It seems I can't get many advantages with speed.'
'Though I am not whether they can use the wind for the offense. Let's try!'
As soon as he thinks, he stands on his feet and swiftly moves to the right. He didn't reach his maximum speed but still covers fifty meters in just a second.
Whoosh!
Swish! As soon as he appears on the right side of the wolf, it releases the wind barrier around him. Only then did he realize this wolf was carefully watching his movement.
'But, you are still dumb'
As soon as Peter understands the wolf's intention, he strikes his feet on the ground and somersaults above the wolf.
"Barbecue Grilling Strike"
Bang! Splash!
Peter's sword erupts into the flames and he rotates his sword at a slow speed. Although this attack seems pretty simple. When his sword tip pierces the wind barrier, it pierced through it as if he was piercing the jelly.
During the barbecue, the metal rod that holds meat keeps spinning at a slow speed. This heats the metal so good that it starts cooking meat from inside.
His sword uses the same principle. He doesn't use flames to pierce or destroy the wind barrier which seems pretty hard for his level.
He heats his sword so that it can dissolve everything and pierce through it. And more importantly, the more he heats the sword, the easier it will be to pierce.
"Peter, behind you!!"
Alice suddenly shouts from afar making him swing his sword to his back.
Bang!
"Holy shit! I almost didn't notice." Peter remarks at himself while turning his head at Alice, he shouts "Don't shout! They will discover you."
"Don't worry about me! I won't die. Just focus on solving them in haste." Alice reminds while swinging her sword against the wolf that attacked her from behind.
Although she was blown to the ground, she quickly stood up and once again swings her sword to block the claw of a wolf.
Once again, she gets blown away. But, she gets back to her feet and blocks the wolf. Her sword was helping her to block the attack at the vital organs.
"That's good! Don't worry, I will try to finish this quick." Peter shouted out loud gathering wolves' attention to him. But, at the same time, his eyes wandered around.
Suddenly, he switches the sword from his right hand to his left hand. As soon as he gets his right hand free, he injects the mana into his cells and uses Lesser Demon Transformation Skill.
The internal energy spur out of his cells and infused with his fist. But just like the previous time, the amount could barely fill a few millimeters of compact spaces.
But the energy could be spread throughout his hand even if it is a low amount. Instead of spreading throughout his hand, Peter injects the internal energy in his middle three fingers.
Bang! Crack! Crack! Fwoosh! Thud!
As soon as the internal energy improves his fist, he smashed the head of the wolf. This time it didn't pierce through his body though it broke its skull and teeth. The body of the wolf flew away while spinning in the air and smashed to the ground.
Peter turns around followed by his sword that coats itself with the flame and strikes the wind barrier of the wolf.
Splash! Bang! Splash!
The flame sparks around him as soon as he clenched his fist. Another wolf leaps on-air and pounces towards him. The fang of the wolf appeared above him which he lets slash on his shoulder. But once the wolf's body gets in range, he took the step forward and punches at the stomach as his fist pierced through it.
Splash!
But, the wolf behind him successfully moved forward the moment his balance on his sword was shaken. The wolf slashed his back making him bleed.
[-2 HP] [-2 HP] [-4 HP]
In an instant, Peter loses 8 HP. Though his vitality allowed him to cover the wound, it still wasn't enough.
He throws the sword in the air while turning around while swinging his leg. He knows that the wolf has barely landed on the ground.
Bang! Thud! Thud! Thud! Bang! Splash!
While kicking the wolf on its stomach, he couldn't use the internal energy. His mana was already very low, so he can't use it all the time.
His kick dropped the wolf on the ground a few times until it collided with the tree at an insane speed. The blood splattered on the ground as the tree was drenched in the blood of a wolf.
Splash! Splash!
Suddenly, two compressed wind arcs traveled from hundreds of meters away and slashed his chest and back.
Peter instantly falls on his knees as the blood drips from his skin. Feeling the intense pain, he grits his teeth 'Damn! No wonder they weren't moving.'
'No wonder those wolves could create the wind barrier and couldn't release the wind attacks. They need time to conjure the wind and that's why those two wolves maintained the distance from me.'
'What should I do? They are hundreds of meters away from me.'
Thud!
As soon as he tried to find a way to defeat them, his eyes shut down as he feels to the ground.
"Peter!"
Seeing Peter on the ground drenched in blood, Alice shouted with panic and fear. She was also covered in bruises while using a little mana that she had to fight the wolf. But calling it a fight would be an overstatement. She was constantly pushed back by the fang of the wolf.
"Ugh! Go away!" Alice poured all of her strength into her hands and pushed back the wolf. She hurriedly turned around and rushed towards Peter. She saw two wolves rushing towards Peter as she tried to move and protect him.
Splash!
At this moment, she completely overestimated herself. She hadn't even covered ten meters when the wolf slashed her back with its fang.
Thud!
Alice falls to the ground but still tried to get up. But when she lifts her head, her eyes open wide.
