Chapter 91: Display of power (1)
They all looked at me with shocked looks after I said this.
After a moment of silence, there were voices that were filled with concern that rang out.
"Wait, what are you doing?"
"Don't go out there by yourself, you'll be surrounded by them!"
"Come back here and let's run together."
But I just ignored all of them as I continued stepping forward towards the large wolf.
The wolves that surrounded us just carefully watched over me as I walked away from this formation. They looked at me with wary looks, as if they weren't certain what to do in this situation.
From time to time, I could see that some of them were looking at the large wolf, as if they were asking for advice.
But the large wolf just ignored them as its attention was completely on me.
The look in the eyes of the large wolf…showed that it was also wary of me.
I didn't understand why it would be since in terms of mana, I should have less than any of the members of our group.
There shouldn't be a single thing about me that would make this large wolf cautious and yet, the large wolf didn't say a thing as it just glared at me.
I was able to get close to the large wolf before it suddenly gave a howl.
I prepared myself when the large wolf gave this howl, but I found that the wolves around me completely ignored me. In fact, they went right past me and formed a line behind me, separating me from the rest of my group.
At the same time, the large wolf seemed like it was getting ready to fight me.
It seemed that since it wasn't able to figure me out, it was planning to use its own power to force me to reveal my powers.
That meant that it should be very confident in its abilities…
So before it could even do anything, I muttered under my breath, "A bit faster."
The two of us suddenly stopped moving before…the large wolf suddenly jumped out at me.
There was no hesitation at all in the movements of the large wolf as it jumped at me.
This large wolf opened its jaws and snapped at me with them, but I was able to dodge out of the way in time.
If it wasn't for the fact that I had buffed myself ahead of time and the fact that I had been watching the large wolf the entire time, there might have been a problem.
But that didn't mean that I was out of the woods just yet…
After all, that was an attack with just its physical capabilities.
The large wolf hadn't started using its magic powers just yet.
There was a reason why it was known as the Howling Gale Wolf.
Seeing that I was barely able to dodge out of the way, the large wolf revealed what seemed to be a smile. Then with a howl, there was a layer of green light that appeared around it.
"Cheeky b*stard." I muttered under my breath.
Since it saw that I was barely able to dodge its attack when it used its physical capabilities alone, it was planning on attacking me with everything so that I wouldn't have a chance to dodge.
But that didn't mean that I didn't have a trump card either…
Well, I had multiple trump cards, but the one that I'm currently referring to was the sword in my hand.
Taking a deep breath, I channeled my mana into the sword.
I had been playing around with this sword yesterday while training with Su Chen and I had found…that I was able to incite it. It seemed that I was able to connect with the sword and make it acknowledge me as its master.
What that meant was that I was able to use this sword's ability.
After the sword was incited, there was a green light that appeared around it.
This green light didn't stop at just the sword, but went from the handle to my body to cover it completely.
I was soon covered in a full layer of green light.
When this green light surrounded my body, I could feel power filling me.
This was the thing that the Orc King had done before.
This was a buff using the powers of this magic sword.
After that buff came over me, I didn't hesitate to make the first move.
After all, there was a time limit to how long I could stay in this state and I didn't want to waste any of that time.
So I dashed at the large wolf head on.
When the large wolf saw this, it gave a howl before dashing forward as well.
This time, we moved so fast that the people around weren't able to follow us anymore.
They could only see our afterimages clashing with each other and hear the sounds of my sword clashing with the teeth of the large wolf.
After a few rounds of clashing like this, both of us suddenly appeared again.
The large wolf went back to where it had been before, standing beside the omega.
While I was also pushed back to my starting position.
But at the very least, there wasn't a single injury on either of us.
It seemed that we were even in both speed and strength.
So unless something changed…it didn't seem like this fight would be decided soon.
I couldn't help muttering under my breath, "Do I really have to use that?"
After all, I knew that it was very likely that my power would run out first…
I could feel the power coming from the sword weakening.
However, I didn't want to use that unless it was absolutely necessary…
But before I could do anything, the large wolf gave another howl before a whirlwind appeared around it. This whirlwind lasted a few seconds before disappearing without a trace…
Well, not without a trace since there were still traces of this whirlwind around the large wolf in the form of scattered wind that blew across its fur.
