Chapter 86: Guidance
However, it wasn't as if the wolves could just remain idle.
Both Claire and Hayato were moving to their flanks, so it was only a matter of time before they were pinched in.
At the same time, they couldn't just turn to the sides and finish either Claire or Hayato off since Blaze was close enough to intercept them at any time.
They didn't fear him, but it would be troublesome for them if they were pinched in between them.
So they didn't want to put themselves in that situation.
After looking at each other, the wolves made their moves.
They didn't turn to the sides, but rather they rushed straight forward at Blaze.
They didn't fear the flame armour that was around him and charged right at him…or rather that was what it seemed like.
Right before they made contact with Blaze, they suddenly split up and jumped in different directions.
Their real plan was to avoid him by jumping around him and targeting Qin Yue Ru and Lin Fan behind him.
Blaze had already expected this since this was in the instructions that Lin Fan had given him. So when it happened, he immediately turned to two of the wolves.
These two had jumped in the same direction, so he was planning on taking these two down while leaving the last wolf alone.
But these two had also expected this.
They had jumped in the same direction for a reason.
Once Blaze came closer to them, they suddenly split off in different directions.
They had been planning on baiting him to chase them and then using their speed to dodge out of the way.
Blaze had also been instructed of this by Lin Fan, which was why he pushed his speed to the limit when he saw them split up.
They had thought that they were safe, so they had let their guards down. It was when one thought that they were victorious that they would be the most vulnerable.
It was just too bad that Blaze wasn't fast enough to catch these two wolves.
The wolves stopped panicking when they realized that they could still escape before Blaze would reach them, so they quickly gathered their thoughts and increased their speed.
Without caring about Blaze, they jumped out in different directions.
Blaze also recognized that he was too slow, so he could only lament his own abilities not measuring up.
But before the two wolves could escape, there were two voices that suddenly rang out.
"Haste!"
"Faster."
As soon as these two voices rang out, there was a light feeling that came over his body.
At that same time, he could see a faint white light appear around his body.
He found that he was moving much faster than before, so fast that the wolves almost seemed like they were moving in slow motion.
So Blaze didn't waste any time in rushing the two wolves, grabbing them by the waist and holding them in his arms.
There wasn't anything else he needed to do once he grabbed hold of these wolves.
Once these wolves were in his grasps, it was time for his flame armour to do its job.
The wolves tried struggling by biting at him, but they found that they couldn't hurt him at all.
Rather, by trying to bite him, all they were doing was burning their own mouths.
So the wolves in Blaze's arms couldn't do a thing as they burned away into ashes.
As he held these wolves in his hand, Blaze had a wide smile on his face as he said, "That's right! Burn! Burn! Burn!"
If anyone else were to see him, they really would be scared by the scene that they saw.
But when I saw him acting this way, I shook my head and gave a sigh.
These kids really were kids in the end.
On the other side, Claire and Hayato were working together to suppress the wolf that had escaped Blaze.
This time, instead of targeting the wolf together, they attacked in turns.
Once the wolf dodged one attack, there was another attack that flew out at it that kept pushing it back.
The wolf couldn't do the same thing as the other wolf where it redirected their attacks since it was continuously being attacked from a blind spot. It wasn't able to get a single moment to catch its breath and plan its next move.
Finally, the wolf was trapped up against the wall.
At this point, Hayato gave a roar and summoned a wall of wind that trapped the wolf up against the wall.
This wall of wind was made with powerful blades of wind, so that even touching it would mean being ripped to shreds.
So the wolf wasn't able to do a single thing against this wall of wind.
The problem was that Hayato wasn't able to move it.
It took all of his concentration just to pull this wall up, so he wasn't able to close it in on the wolf.
The wolf could see this and just waited to see what would happen next.
After all, the wall of wind blocked it from seeing outside, so it wouldn't move without knowing what was happening.
Hayato looked at Claire beside him who already had an arrow nocked in her bow.
With a nod, there was a small hole just big enough for an arrow to pass that appeared in the wall of wind.
Without any deviation, Claire easily shot her arrow right through that hole.
There was a wolf's yelp that came before the wall of wind was let down to reveal that there was a wolf with an arrow in between its eyes lying there on the ground.
Together, they had trapped the wolf and forced it into a single spot for them to finish it off.
If it wasn't for Lin Fan's guidance, they wouldn't have been able to do this.
But these two also looked at the wolf just like Blaze did.
They walked over to it and started kicking the corpse of the wolf before it disappeared.
Only when it disappeared and the loot dropped did they stop.
When I saw all of this, I just shook my head with a sigh and thought, "They really are still just kids."
