บท 17: Battle!

"Already?" Elliot asked in amazement. "I thought you said we'll reach her lair in a day!"

"Her lair is still many hours away. But her territory is vast, and we are already in it." Brock replied. "You better hang back here while I take her and her pack down. Do as we had planned earlier."

"Oh. Okay." Elliot quickly clambered down and got Jessica and Jennifer to do the same.

"Remember what I told you earlier? Wolves are afraid of fire and aggression. So don't be afraid if some of the wolves get to our position. Just point the fiery end of your wooden staff at them and wave it while screaming loudly. They won't attack." Elliot reminded his sisters as he lit up the wooden staffs that they had prepared beforehand.

"Don't worry brother, we'll be fine." Jessica assured him. "We may be young, but we are tough!"

Jessica winked at Jennier, who grinned at her.

"En. We're braver and stronger than you think." Jennifer told Elliot seriously. "You don't have to worry about us at all!"

"Alright then. Even if the wolves get to us, we should still be fine. Afterall, the Snow Wolf isn't the only one with a wolf pack." Elliot grinned. "Summon wolves!"

Grey mists immediately swirled all around him and quickly disappeared, revealing 11 beautiful grey wolves who trotted up to Elliot and sniffed at the girls in a friendly manner.

"Kyaaa! You have wolves too? They are so beautiful!!" Jessica squealed as she patted the furry head of one near her.

"Oh they are so cool! Can I have one? Pretty pleaseee??" Jennifer immediately asked Elliot as she hugged the one sniffing at her fearlessly.

"They are not real wolves." Elliot smiled at his two cute sisters and said. "They are summons and will disappear after a few hours."

"Awwww boo." Jennifer pouted.

"Don't worry! We'll be taming the Alpha wolf. She'll probably have many baby wolves in her lair. You can have as many baby wolves as you want!"

"YEAH!!!" Jennifer brightened up considerably at his words and shoved her pinky toward him. "Pinky promise!"

"ME TOO! ME TOO!!" Jessica poked him with her pinky as well.

Elliot laughed and pinky promised them.

"Alright, now let's get serious. Stand by that tree, hold your staffs properly and stay behind me. Wolves, circular defensive formation. Hawks, stay close and blind any wolf that dares to get close."

The girls, the wolves and the hawks immediately obeyed.

All of them remained absolutely silent and prepared their hearts.

A battle was about to erupt.

And erupt, it did.

AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Awoooo!! Awoooo!! Awooooo!!

GRAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!

BAM! CHOMP! BAM! BAM!

CRASH! CRASH CRASH!

Sounds of a massive fight between Brock and the Snow Wolf aided by her fearless pack reverberated throughout the forest.

Elliot and his two sisters gulped and waited anxiously for Brock to end the fight.

"Damn it. I want to see what's happening! But I can't leave my sisters alone." Elliot cried out in his mind. "Hawk! Is there a way for me to see using Brock's eyes or something?"

[Beast Link mode is not available at your level. Please reach level 25 first and purchase the Beast Link mode for 20 points.]

"What? I can actually do that? That's pretty cool! I was actually just grasping at straws there mwa ha ha ha!" Elliot laughed happily in his mind. He didn't mind not watching this battle as long as he could watch all the other battles in the future.

"What else is available at level 25? There is Beast Link and Potion Crafting already. Both seem like excellent skills to have!" Elliot asked Hawk.

However, before Hawk the AI could answer, Elliot felt a small hand grab hold of his shirt. It was Jennifer. "Never mind. Tell me later." Elliot told the AI.

"I hope gramps is ok." Jennifer whispered as she edged closer to Elliot and Jessica for comfort. Elliot glanced at Jennifer and realized that it must be a very stressful moment for his two sisters who had not been in such a dangerous situation before.

As an apocalypse veteran for the past 11 months, the current situation was absolutely well within a manageable level for Elliot. It was definitely not the case for Jennifer and Jessica.

"He'll be fine, don't worry. He's extremely powerful! Hey by the way, you girls want to hug Ellie and Rex?" Elliot asked.

"Yes! Yes please!" Jennifer said with shining eyes.

"Yes! Definitely!" Jessica said as well.

"Alright. Give me your staffs. Rex, Ellie, come on out!" Elliot took his sisters' staffs and got the two baby beasts to come out. Without being told, both immediately jumped into the girls' arms and began to purr and snort contentedly.

"Ah Jess Jess. Ellie miss Jess Jess!" Ellie said as she made herself comfortable in Jessica's arms.

HUG! NICE! NICE! Came Rex's thoughts from within Jennifer's embrace.

Elliot chuckled helplessly. His two tamed beasts were beginning to prefer his sisters compared to him! But he was gratified. He loved both his sisters and his two new beasts.

Having them like each other and take care of each other seemed perfect to him.

Screech!! Elliot's hawk suddenly gave a cry of warning.

"Little Master, some wolves are leaving the battle! Prepare to defend yourself!" Brock shouted in his mind.

"Wolves! Hawks! Get ready to greet the enemy!" The words barely left Elliot's mouth when twenty, huge and ferocious-looking wolves burst through the trees in front and appeared before them.

SCREEEE!!

AWOOOOO!!!

Elliot's hawks began their dive attack at the same time his wolves exploded into action.

Instantly, a desperate battle ensued.

The enemy wolves were slightly bigger than Elliot's and outnumbered his by nine. Although Elliot had three hawks on his side, they were largely ineffective against such huge targets.

Elliot's wolves were immediately placed in a defensive position. They could only try to dodge and slowly retreat from their enemies. Even so, they were very quickly sustaining small to medium injuries.

บท 18: Fight!!

Within seconds, it was clear how the battle would turn out. Without external intervention, Elliot's wolves could at maximum hold out for another minute or so before they were completely wiped out.

Elliot was torn by the desire to enter battle to help his wolves while he still had the chance, and to remain with his sisters just in case a few wolves peeled away from the battle to target them.

"What should I do?" He cried out in his heart.

Thankfully, Ellie and Rex were extremely clear on what they had to do. They leapt from the girls' embrace and immediately joined the battle.

Though still very young, they instinctively understood that if they didn't fight at that moment, they would lose their only chance to do so once their wolf brothers were defeated.

With her great agility and stealth, Rex sneaked up behind a particularly nasty looking wolf which was biting one of Elliot's wolves and pounced on its head, causing it to quickly let go of its victim to snap at Rex.

Distracted by Rex's sudden sneak attack, it failed to notice that there was another little beast also targeting it. Ellie rushed in behind Rex and bit the wolf's rear foot with her venomous bite, immediately releasing large amounts of venom into it!

AWOOOOO!!

The wolf howled in pain as Ellie's powerful and fast acting venom coursed through its body and dealt an enormous amount of damage to him.

Seeing an opening, Rex immediately went for its throat and gave it a powerful slash!

Blood spurted out of its neck wound, and within seconds, it was dead.

[Rex has gained 4 levels for killing a level 15 wolf.]

[Ellie has gained 4 levels for killing a level 15 wolf.]

Because they were only at level 1, killing one level 15 wolf immediately propelled them to level 5, causing them both to grow slightly in size.

By that time, however, five of Elliot's eleven wolves and two of his hawks were dead. Only six wolves and one hawk remained.

On the enemy's side, only four had died including the one which Ellie and Rex killed. They still had sixteen wolves.

"Brother! We have to join the fight!" Jessica said urgently. "If we don't then we'll lose the chance to turn the battle around, and we would be just waiting to die!"

"Yes brother! Let us fight!" Jennifer cried out in agreement with Jessica.

Elliot looked at his sisters' expressions which contained a mix of fear, excitement and determination, and realized that they were right.

"Alright, follow closely behind me! We'll attack them from the side!" Elliot quickly came to a decision.

Elliot led his sisters to the very edge of the battle and charged at three wolves which were about to finish off one of his wolves.

"HAIYAA!" Elliot jabbed the fiery end of his staff powerfully towards one of the wolves.

BAM!

By merit of his extra-powerful physique, the speed of his jab took the wolf completely by surprise and Elliot scored a paralyzing hit as his staff smashed into the wolf's head!

Behind him, the two girls immediately attacked the paralyzed wolf with all of their meager strength and managed to finish it off!

[Congratulations, You have levelled up to level 15!]

"Dump all my points into strength!" Elliot yelled as he went on to attack the two wolves which had pulled back warily. However, their job was done and Elliot's wolf lay dead on the ground.

"Thank goodness they are merely summons and can be summoned again soon." Elliot muttered to himself as he glanced quickly at his mangled and very dead wolf, feeling a slight pang of sadness in his heart.

GRAR!!

The two wolves snarled and immediately charged at Elliot the moment they saw him glance distractedly at his wolf!

Thankfully, Elliot's reaction speed was above average. He was able to quickly dodge one wolf's attack and meet the other with a quick and powerful jab into its mouth!

BAM!

With an additional 1 full point in strength, Elliot's jab became so powerful that it pierced through the back of the wolf's throat, rendering it ineffective for the rest of the battle.

He whirled around to face the other wolf and made it just in time to parry its leap attack with his staff. However, the wolf's sharp claws still scored hits on his body.

Slash! Slash!

"Arghh!" Elliot screamed in pain! He quickly dropped his staff, grabbed the wolf's neck and squeezed with all his might!

Crack!

"Huh?" Elliot was surprised when the wolf's neck broke easily. He was definitely not used to being so powerful!

Elliot quickly dropped the wolf and looked for his sisters.

To his great surprise, his two sisters were already ganging up on a wolf and beating it up with their staffs nearby.

"Take that you evil wolf!" Jessica cried as she smashed her staff down on the wolf's head!

"Eat my staff! Haiyaaaa!" Jennifer cried as she jabbed at the wolf's chest!

True, they were merely helping out one of Elliot's wolves which was being ganged up by two wolves, and thus were able to land a few critical hits on their victim before it turned around to face them seriously, which was already too late by then. But it was still impressive nonetheless.

Two twelve year old girls beating up a savage wolf! How cool is that?

[Congratulations, You have levelled up to level 16!]

On the other side of the battlefield, Ellie and Rex were having an equally incredible fight.

They got to level five after killing their first wolf, and experienced a spike in power and speed which made their subsequent kills much easier and much faster.

Rex quickly went into stealth once more after slashing the first wolf's throat and sneaked up behind another wolf which was about to land a killing blow on its victim.

POUNCE! Rex leapt and bit the wolf's neck with all of its strength! It wasn't enough to break the wolf's neck, but her sharp fangs managed to pierce into the wolf's neck and rupture its windpipe.

BITE! Ellie quickly followed up by a poisonous bite which quickly killed it.
