章節 69: Wolves
Rirak didn't waste any time and started to explain a situation.
"Do you remember the border you showed me?" The border between safe zone of the forest and hunting grounds of wolves.
"Yes. What happened? Did you hunt there?" Aron didn't like idea of fighting monsters at the moment.
"I didn't hunt on their grounds. The problem is wolves started to expand their hunting zone."The issue was more complicated than he thought. He or Rirak could actually face such creatures, however Casper or new hunters would have no chance.
'Why? FUCK! I am so stupid. It's simple… We fucked an ecosystem… The game is limited, and we hunted pretty decent number of deers and boars…' The pack of wolves required a lot of food to survive, and Aron forced them to search for food.
'It's them or me… It's my fault, however it won't be first victim of my expansion.' Human expansion didn't spare other animals. Many forests got cut down for new settlements, their inhabitants were forced out or killed.
'Time to hunt.' The problem could escalate to higher level, white-haired boy couldn't allow this situation to happen.
"Go and warn people to not go to forest. We need to take care of this pack." Rirak understood the seriousness of a situation and rushed to warn people. Wolf pack won't hesitate to attack humans, single human is easy target.
Others will hold them down in battle, so it was the best if they stayed inside of a village. He doubted that animals would invade a village soon, however leaving couple of hunters might buy him to rush back.
'If I remember correctly… I am close to level of a wolf from a trip with Roger.' His capabilities and experience increased, adding the battle instinct and powerful weapon. The only issue was miscalculating strength of wolf beast, if it wasn't using at least half of its possible strength and speed. Battle will be extremely hard for him.
Rirak came back with extreme speed while signaling to rush.
"No time to talk! Casper is in the forest!" It was worst possible scenario, if it was any other hunter consequences wouldn't be so dire. The death of Casper might cause emotional collapse of Rose, and they needed to save no matter the cost.
Aron started to track Casper and few minutes later, they were already in forest.
"Blood!" It wasn't good sign for their rescue mission, and he hoped that they weren't going to collect remaining of his body.
The stains on ground became more frequent, Casper didn't have much time left. The moment his consciousness is lost, it's the same moment he is dead.
Aron's senses picked something bizarre, it was heavy panting few hundred meters away. There was sound of barking and scratching.
"This way!" Aron started to run with inhuman speed in direction of sound, Casper is in dangerous position.
Casper was inside of small caving, luckily for him entrance collapsed. Wolves tried to dig their way inside, with their paws.
Swish! Swish! Animals were close to getting inside, and Aron couldn't give them opportunity to finish Casper. His arrows hit the digging animals, and they started to howl from pain. Those shots weren't precise, his goal was to take attention of a wounded hunter.
Awooooo! In surprise wolves didn't attack him immediately, but they called for reinforcements.
"We need to be fast. He won't survive long…"Both of them knew what to do, and Aron took out his glaive to take those down in fastest possible way. Casper needed immediate treatment, and his chances of survival lowered every second.
They were fast and accurate as every blow took down one of the wolves. All of the wolves were down, and another issue arose.
ROAR! This particular roar belonged to very same beast, they encountered with Roger. It was demon wolf, and boy made fast decision.
"I will take care of a beast. You save him…" Aron wasn't sure if Rirak was able to take down the beast, and there was one thing certain in this situation. He will be able to stabilize Casper for time being, and the only variable is time of his battle.
The demon wolf couldn't reach their position, so Aron shouted and ran in direction of the roar.
"COME AT ME LITTLE DOG!" It didn't matter if beast understood his words or not. The canine creatures have better hearing than others, so any shout will irritate it.
Roar! It smelled the blood of its kin, and it became enraged. The white-haired boy felt it won't be easy to deal.
'It's going to berserk… FUCK!' Beasts will lose any reasoning; it was opportunity and issue at the same time.
'It will attack without any fear. Its favorite target is head… In cases like this, it will aim for head for sure.' Aron decided to take a defensive stance and meet beast head on. It was faster and stronger than him, still he was way more intelligent.
[Black Eyed Demon Wolf]
[State: Berserk]
[STR 20, DEX 32, END 31…]
The beast rushed at him with full speed, he had one chance to win. Use monster's habits to inflict serious damage, glaive will take care of the rest.
It jumped with intention to rip off his head, and Aron was prepared moved his glaive into position to let a beast become shashlik.
Wolf couldn't avoid getting pierced by glaive, still it didn't care. It used its fangs to scratch Aron's arm.
"FUCK YOU! You want my arm? DEAD DOG? COME AND GET IT!" The solution was simple, retract the weapon and run away. It will bleed out and die by itself.
'It's good its left arm…' The arm will need some time to heal, and thrust power would weaken if he used only one arm.
'Fuck it. Let's enter workshop space.' Aron entered space and immediately started to clean a wound with distilled water. His idea was simple, wolf wound was at its abdomen. It will bleed out in short time, and a white-haired boy couldn't let it go.
His idea was to get out in two minutes, so a beast will run in random direction but won't search for Rirak or go to a village.
Aron left space and hastily examined his surrounding, beast wasn't anywhere nearby. There was blood train in west direction, so it is searching for him. He focused on unusual sounds in that direction.
The hundred meters from his position, something was rapidly running and breaking branches.
"I AM HERE! COME AT ME, DOG!" His voice was loud and beast turned at his direction, however something odd happened.
ROAR! Wolf stopped its rage and roared for help. Its sound was weaker than before, and it didn't have long to live.
ROAAAAAAR!
'FUCK! It called for a husband!' Aron understood his situation became dire, male wolves are usually larger than their female counter parts.
Aron intelligence screamed him to run, however his blood started to boil for thrilling battle.
