Chương 5: The Wolf

Pounding and ripping of brush inside the forest could be heard sprinting towards Zeros position. All of sudden 2 wolves jumped out from bushes and circled zero. 2 other wolves split into 2 different escape routes and paced in place. The final wolf was larger than the rest and stood 15 meters from Zero. The larger wolf snarled as he looked at Zero. Zero could feel some pressure coming from the larger wolf. " So this is what getting pressured by a higher realms aura feels like. My body feels slightly heavier for some reason but not enough to really hinder me. I wonder what higher realms aura pressure must feel like." Just the though sent a chill up his spine thinking there were so many realms above his current understanding, but Zero was ready to fight. As Zero was thinking to himself the larger wolf barked to the smaller wolves and they all started moving towards Zero. " Damn these guys are smart blocking off escape routes. Well looks like I just have to make an opening. System how long do I have till my eye closes?" zero asked as he examined the wolves approaching him with his eye. " Approximately 47 seconds" Zofia replied unhesistanly. "Nice I'll be able to see how much combat use this eye has." Zero said as he stepped forward towards the first wolf that lunged at him. The first wolf tried to bit his arm while the second wolf approached from behind and dashed for Zeros ankles. Zero used his eyes to predict which attacking points each would would take and jumped forward to stab the first wolf in his gut. Zero pushed his sword into the wolf's skin but only made a small incision. Zero saw the little damage he did and used his back foot to reach out and kick the second wolfs snout as he pushed off to roll away from the oncoming attacks. " Looks like their fur is a lot harder than it looks." Zero said as he rolled back to his feet. The wolves paused for only a split second before pushing towards zero again. The first wolf ran directly towards Zero and the second wolf attempted to flank him again. Zero ran directly to the second wolf. The wolf ,surprised, lunged at the oncoming zero. Zero used the wolf's momentum to push it into a rock near by with a spinning elbow to the wolf's side as he dodged the lunge while knocking out the wolf who had just smashed into the rock. The first wolf arrived at Zero and bit into his left leg. Zero winced in pain. He felt the teeth sink in when he reflexively took his sword and slashed across the its eyes. The wolf yelped in pain and released its grip as it stumbled back to regain some sense. Zero took two steps back when he heard a message from Zofia. " Host has 20 seconds remaining of Eyes abilities. Suggest escaping 2 km west. living being detected that isn't another monster." Zero took a deep breath and looked at the large wolf and looked west. The third wolf was standing in his way. Zero broke out into a sprint ignoring the burning pain In his leg. Zero approached the wolf and heard the 4th wolf running behind 10 meters behind him. The third wolf growled as Zero approached and ran towards him and lunged at him. This time Zero used his eye to calculate how high the wolf would jump. He slid under and stabbed out with his katana. This time he aimed inside the mouth of the direwolf and pierced into its head. "Condesing Realm direwolf killed. 500 exp awarded." Zofia pinged inside his head. "Nice!" Zero was excited but had no time to celebrate.
