Chapter 170: Dark Wolf General - Part 3

'Who is he anyway!?'

Shin was trying to figure out his identity. Since he did not have any name, Shin was sure that he wasn't Kira. Also, he was of a different type. He had gone through these thoughts, but the question was still now answered.

'Am I forgetting someone?', he tried to recall but then found that he really knew no one else who was a wolf and would call him 'master'. Not to mention, he had never met a 'shadow wolf'!

Also, there was something else that picked his interest at the same time - 'Wolf General'.

Yes, the title of 'Shadow Wolf General' was what shocked him when he saw the Shadow Wolf's stats again.

*gulp*

While considering other stats, the wolf seemed weak, but the rank alone made all the difference in the world.

Shin, even with the help of the system, was only able to ascend to the rank of Highlord. However a beast out in the wild was able to attain the rank of a general - this without a doubt proved the vast amount of experience that the wolf might have collected.

It might have gone through tons of life-threatening experiences and at the same time, it would have undergone many battles. Of course, it did not have any system that could come and aid it during the grave times!

In any case, now Shin only had one way to find out, that is, by asking the wolf.

"Why did you call me that?", Shin asked.

Shin was ready to wait for the wolf to speak by itself before asking, however, four to five minutes had passed by and the wolf was just staring and doing nothing else.

"Master..."

"No, why do you resemble master?", the wolf asked.

"Ha?", Shin's eyes widened.

He finally understood that the wolf had mistaken Shin with someone else.

Yes, with just one statement, their relationship was made clear, that is, they were strangers!

But this could actually lead to a fight or a battle between them. Wolves are believed to be self-loving more than anything else. Because of that, the wolf would try to attack Shin since the resemblance was made.

That was the case for most of the wolves and the same was the case with the Shadow Wolf.

'Aoooo'

It howled and then attacked Shin almost instantly.

Another set of attacks was fired towards Shin without giving him a prior warning. Well, the howling was the warning perhaps.

The spheres which Shin had fended earlier using his 'Aero Slash' were launched yet again. But this time, since the wolf was closer than earlier, the attack seemed quite fast.

Also, there were more spheres compared to last time - five more.

So in total, eight spheres were fired continuously one after the other. Perhaps the shadow wolf had plans of attacking in a series unless any one of the spheres hit, but oh well, Shin wouldn't let the attack hit him just like that!

His eyes started to glow with faint green light as soon as he spotted the rapidly approaching spheres.

'Ding'

[ You have used the skill Dark Blast ]

The skill Dark blast wasn't a long-range skill but the attack was something that spread in almost all directions.

A dark sphere-like energy started to emerge from Shin's body and started to expand to the limit. Shin was at the center of the sphere. 

It wasn't a sphere, to begin with, it seemed to be dome-shaped because Shin was on the ground.

It was both, a defensive skill, as well as an offensive skill and Shin, was proud of it, so he used it without any hesitation.

It kept expanding while causing great destruction to what it engulfed.

*Boom*

*Bam*

*Boom*

All the spheres that were launched got destroyed by Shin's attack.

The shadow wolf wasn't particularly shocked by it. He continued to attack because he expected such an attack from Shin after feeling the dense mana.

Shin was inside the black dome. He had nothing to fear as long as he was inside it, after all, the dome acted as a shield too.

Shin kept on glaring at the wolf as if he had met someone formidable. But seeing the power level, he wasn't that strong, to begin with. But he knew, he shouldn't be underestimating anyone after seeing only a few attacks.

'Well, I think I have wasted a lot of time...'

'I can't afford to stay here any longer.', Shin nodded his head while thinking this right after which his eyes started to glow with even more intense light.

'Ding'

[ You have used the skill Devour ]

The black dome-like energy that had been formed around him stayed as it is. Yes, it didn't vanish.

Instead, thick black thread-like structures started to appear from Shin's body which extended out of the dome.

It continued to extend. The Shadow wolf saw them coming and took a few steps back because of that.

But little did he know what those attacks were. The feeling of fear suddenly took over the Shadow Wolf.

'What is this?'

'Just what is this feeling of inferiority?' - he said while staring at the threads approaching.

Well, he couldn't move all of a sudden which was purely because of fear.

The dome finally vanished and now Shin and the shadow wolf were face-to-face. Of course, the thread-like weird energy continued to move towards the wolf and started to whirl around him.

'Damn, this doesn't look good...'

While the dark threads seemed to be normal chunks of energy, they had their own minds.

Yes, mouths started to appear at the end of the threads which started to bite the wolf.

"What the-", he was completely shocked by this.

Probably he had never seen such an attack before in his entire life. However, Shin was expressionless. He knew what he did so he had nothing to worry about.

In fact, he was confident and believed in his attack.

"Arghhhhh"

'Aooooo'

The shadow wolf started to shout and howl when the attack hit him. Yes, it was like he was getting eaten away however was he really feeling any pain?

"Don't act, are you really feeling any pain?", Shin asked.

"..."
