Chapter 92: Display of power (2)
I could feel a bit of pressure coming from the large wolf now.
I didn't know exactly what it did, but if I had to guess…it was most likely that it had applied another layer of buff on itself.
As for exactly what this buff did, I couldn't tell.
So all I could do was focus on this large wolf and see what happened.
After a pause, the large wolf suddenly dashed forward.
It seemed that it was still moving at the same speed, so the buff didn't seem to be for speed.
But I didn't let my guard down for a single second since I knew that it wouldn't be simple.
The two of us clashed once more, but this time the results were different.
I blocked the bite of this large wolf, but then…there was a cut that appeared on my shoulder.
I immediately pulled back when I felt the pain from the cut and looked at it carefully. However, no matter how I looked at it, I couldn't understand how I had been hurt.
I had clearly blocked this attack…
Of course, I didn't have much time to think about it since the large wolf was still coming.
Once again, we clashed and this time, there was a slash wound that appeared on my other shoulder.
It was as if there was something invisible that was slashing me.
Invisible?
The wind that had gathered around the large wolf!
That was it!
This time when we clashed, I kept swinging my sword after blocking the attack. As I had expected, there was a second impact sound that rang out.
"So that was it…" I muttered to myself as I looked at the wind that surrounded the large wolf.
The wind that had been gathered around the wolf did have an effect.
It created a second attack along with the wolf's physical attacks. It was an invisible wind attack!
But even if I knew what it was, it wasn't as if I had a way of dealing with it.
After all this was an invisible attack and I had no idea what were the limitations of this attack.
Just how much was the large wolf able to control this and how powerful could it become?
There were just too many things that were unknown that it was too much of a risk to fight it any longer…
It seemed that I really would need to use that if I wanted to end this quickly.
So with a sigh, I stepped forward.
The large wolf was surprised when it saw this. It was even a bit afraid since it could see the look in my eyes.
However, it couldn't back down at this junction, so it had to go forward.
This time, when the two of us were about to clash, I suddenly said, "Be dizzy."
The large wolf's eyes suddenly narrowed and it swayed a bit, but it was able to stand firm.
However, its eyes couldn't help widening as it stared forward. That was because the human that it had been fighting had disappeared.
It was only an instant where it was hit with a wave of nausea. It was only an instant where its focus had been broken.
But that one instant was all that it took.
Then all of a sudden, the large wolf felt a sharp pain coming from its neck.
When it turned its head, it saw that the human it lost sight of was beside it and…
The human's sword had stabbed into its neck.
The large wolf wanted to summon its wind magic to fight back, but then it felt the sword stabbing deeper into its neck.
It lost all of its abilities to gather its mana and the wind around it scattered.
In its final moments, it stared up at the human with a look of not fear or anger, but rather a look of confusion.
It couldn't understand how the human had suddenly disappeared and reappeared beside it.
That was what it thought about as the light in its eyes faded and it collapsed onto the ground.
The other wolves that had been attacking the kids suddenly stopped when they saw this.
They all stared at the large wolf on the ground in a daze before slowly looking up at Lin Fan who stood over it.
I could feel their gazes on me, but I stood firm against all of this.
During this time, the green light around me was slowly dimming since the power of the sword was reaching a limit.
There was a long silence that hung in the air before one wolf took a step back.
As soon as this one wolf took a step back, the others also took a step back…
It was like a chain reaction where they slowly crept back.
Soon it was like a stampede as all of these wolves scattered.
But the one wolf that couldn't get away was the omega from before.
It had been standing where the large wolf had been standing before, so it was close to Lin Fan.
After catching my breath, I immediately walked over to the omega while it was still in a daze and cut down.
That sword cut right through the neck of the omega and cut its head off.
This omega was only good at running and not good at fighting, so it wasn't able to resist this slash at all.
In less than a minute, all of the wolves who had been gathered around had scattered.
There was only our group left standing there in a daze.
Only then did my string of tension cut and my legs went soft. I couldn't stop myself as I fell to the ground, falling on my butt.
As I sat there, I let out a long sigh of relief.
That Howling Gale Wolf was much stronger than I had expected, but it all turned out well in the end.
I could see the way that the kids looked at me.
At the very least, I had established myself in their eyes.
