Chapter 46 - Repelling the Pack of Explosive Wolves
Chapter 46: Repelling the Pack of Explosive Wolves
Suddenly, a long roar echoed through the sky and reverberated throughout the valley, shaking the dense forest as it rustled the surrounding trees.
The Explosive Wolf pack became excited as their bloodshot eyes grew increasingly ferocious. The howl organized the once chaotic wolf pack, and they started attacking frenziedly.
The shocking roar came from a level seven Explosive Wolf, the most prominent pack member. It had white fur around its neck and was the head of the pack of Magical Beast.
It noticed that the back of the pack was in trouble and immediately roared to reignite its pack’s morale. Moss realized that the wolves’ eyes looked like lightning bolts. Their eyes were glowing red, and they were the size of fists, staring right at him.
The level seven wolf continuously growled at the surrounding wolves and led them to Moss.
Moss watched as the high-leveled Explosive Wolves ran toward him. His plan to draw the Explosive Wolves closer had come true.
Previously, Moss stayed behind the pack and observed the high-leveled Magical Beasts’ positions. He realized the high-leveled wolves focused on the valley’s entrance. Moss used the dense forest as cover then he charged into the pack of Explosive Wolves.
Moss drew his sword and used Explosive Heavy Strike to slash a level six Explosive Wolf. With a flash of white light, Moss’s sword beheaded the level six wolf.
Then Moss used his breakneck speed to behead three more Explosive Wolves. His attacks were quick and smooth, explicitly targeting the Magical Beasts in the back row.
His attack caused a miraculous effect, killing six Explosive Wolves instantly. After that, a wolf noticed what had happened. It turned around and saw its companions dropping like flies.
Awoo!
The wolf instantly alarmed the others. Hearing the howl, the other wolves stopped running and turned around. They bore their fangs and growled in the direction of the dense forest behind them. When they saw Moss, he had already retreated and ran toward the outside of the wolf pack.
The Explosive Wolves closest to Moss felt his imposing aura and became vigilant. Some wolves started howling as they surrounded the human.
Moss quickly caught on to their actions. He experienced the Explosive Wolves calling out to their pack leader before, so he knew what would happen next. Moss immediately jumped onto the enormous tree beside him.
Moss’s lips curled into a menacing smile as he looked at the gathering Explosive Wolves beneath. He silently predicted what would happen in the impending battle.
Soon after, the surrounding wolves opened a path. Then three level seven wolves and a dozen level six wolves entered their encirclement. Their pack leader was an enormous level seven Explosive Wolf with white fur around its neck.
Its fist-sized glowing red eyes locked onto Moss. Moss stared back, interlocking his gaze with the wolf.
Roar!
The pack leader immediately responded to Moss’s stare with an earth-shaking roar. Moss planted himself and gestured to the pack leader to come over, like Bruce Lee. 1
The pack leader growled at the Explosive Wolves at its side. Then the two level seven wolves brought along ten or so level six wolves, instantly running toward the tree where Moss stood.
A pack of lower-leveled wolves looked at Moss and menacingly growled as if they were cheering for their companions. Several flashes of silver light dashed toward Moss at breakneck speed, appearing before Moss in a blink of an eye.
Just before that, a white light flashed around Moss. Six transparent shields appeared around him in unison, blocking the wolves’ attacks in one go.
Then a silver-white light flashed before the wolves’ eyes, and before they could react, Moss’s transparent shields were dyed red. He killed three level six Explosive wolves instantly.
Multiple Guardian’s Shields surrounded Moss. Since he was now a level eight Guardian Knight, Moss’s shields could withstand attacks ten times his maximum strength, four thousand kilograms of damage.
The level seven explosive wolves used Wolf Spike alongside Sharp Fangs and Claws, yet they only managed to scratch Moss’s shields. Moss noticed this and became more confident.
Moss was unbeatable with the help of his Guardian’s Shield. Moreover, he could decide when best to attack based on the Explosive Wolves’ attacks. Moss killed two more level six Magical Beasts just a moment later, downright infuriating the pack leader.
It roared, and its white fur exploded into steel spikes. The pack leader’s eyes looked like red lightning bolts as they swiftly jumped onto the tree closest to Moss.
Then it opened its bloody mouth and howled ferociously in Moss’s direction, causing dizziness. Moss felt like he was in another dimension as the forest spun non-stop.
When the pack leader saw this, it growled at its surrounding companions. Then the excited wolves attacked Moss in unison.
Bang Bang Bang!
The Explosive Wolves’ attacks struck Moss’s shields consecutively. Fortunately, he was a level eight Guardian Knight, which increased his Guardian’s Shields’ defenses. Otherwise, the wolves would’ve shattered his shields when he was dizzy.
Moss instantly snapped out of his dizzied state when he noticed the cracks on his shields. He frowned and thought, ‘That was too close for comfort.’
Then he remembered what his teacher said, “Magical Beasts like the Explosive Wolves would possess different skills as their level increased. Level five wolves would obtain Wolf Spike, while level six wolves got Sharp Fangs and Claws.”
“As for wolves that are level seven and above, they would obtain Wolf Howl. This skill will cause temporary dizziness. The potency of Wolf Howl would increase as the wolves leveled up.”
At that moment, Moss knew that the pack leader used its Wolf Howl. That was the cause of his dizziness just now. Fortunately, Moss’s dizziness only lasted about three to four seconds.
Moss also realized that the pack leader was closer to him while it howled. Wolf Howl seemed to be more effective the closer the user was to its target. Moss knew he couldn’t stay in one position now. If he did, he would be an open target.
Thus Moss turned to guerilla tactics. He jumped around to other trees, keeping a safe distance from the pack leader. Moss held a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right, constantly moving around. He kept his movements varied and unpredictable, taking the initiative to attack whenever safest. Moss’s movements and attack patterns confused the pack leader.
Moss’s sudden attack on a level six Magical Beast had an excellent effect. The pack leader never expected Moss to attack its companions randomly.
Seeing Moss approach from the front, the level seven pack leader predicted the human to attack, so it took the chance and swung its claws.
However, Moss retracted his shield and fought fire with fire. He swung his sword and slashed at the pack leader. The pack leader noticed Moss’s sudden attack, but it was too late to dodge.
Although the pack leader used Sharp Fangs and Claws to block Moss’s attack with all its might, the human’s sword was nimble.
Slash!
The tip of Moss’s sword pierced the pack leader, and blood gushed from the wolf. He tightened his grip on the sword and raised it higher, piercing through the pack leader’s throat. The level seven Magical Beast died before hitting the ground.
