Chapter 142: Howl

Sebastian's red eyes glinted in the dim light. It was filled with malicious intent as his whole body started to deform into a weird shape.

"GRAHHH," shouted Sebastian as he plopped into the ground, sweating and changing. His arms started to break by themselves as they changed into a different shape.

Hugh and his other classmates felt the pressure around them start to become increasingly harder to resist. They felt their knees buckle as they saw Sebastian turn into something that was not human.

Sebastian started to grow black fur that blended into the dim light. He would have disappeared into the darkness if not for the bright red eyes on his head.

His face grew a snout and his teeth started to sharpen into something that could chew metal without any problems.

His arms turned into paws as his whole body was now parallel to the ground. He was walking on four legs like a wild untamed animal.

Hugh realized that Sebastian had turned into a maned wolf. However, this wolf was bigger than anything he had ever seen. The wolf's head almost touched the ceiling of the room, and it would have if it raised its head.

The four unseeing students felt their hairs stood on end and Sebastian finally stopped squirming as he finished his transformation. He stopped moving, and the wolf looked directly at them.

Hugh held his breath as he activated his eagle eyes just in time. He was able to see a blur before the wolf disappeared from their eyes.

Serena was caught off-guard as she did not see the wolf move. She could only stand still as she felt a threat coming towards her at impossible speeds.

Thankfully, her instincts were sharp as pink smoke started to emit all over her body like protective armor. She could not see where the wolf would attack, so she defended every part of her body. The downside to this was that her defenses were spread too thin.

"AWOOO!" shouted the wolf in the darkness. Even though it had announced its presence to the world, it was still not enough for everybody to prepared for its attack.

In a split second, Hugh suddenly saw Serena's body disappear to the left. They were all caught off guard as Serena was thrown to a pillar next to her, making her break a few ribs.

If not for her protective smoke, Serena would have suffered more serious injuries or maybe even broken her spine, paralyzing her whole body.

"Serena!" Hugh shouted as he moved closer to her. He had used his eagle eyes, but it was still not enough to grasp the wolf's movements.

"You wolf!" Aric shouted as he charged to the unknown darkness of the room. He shrouded himself in black fire and propelled himself deeper towards the dark.

Aric's bloodlust made him act like a mad person, attacking the empty air. He punched it like it had a grudge on him. Ultimately, he only wasted his energy on his crusade to hit the wolf.

Even though Aric had engulfed himself in the black fire, it was still not enough to protect himself from the vicious attack of the wolf from the darkness.

Aric's angry eyes attacked the air with the best of his abilities. Just as he finished his punch, he suddenly saw two pairs of red eyes appear right in front of him.

He was face to face with a wild animal; a creature without any real thoughts, just instincts to tear its prey apart no matter what.

By the time Aric realized this, it was already too late. Three pairs of silver lights appeared in front of him and slashed his body.

"Guhhh," Aric blurted out as he felt the wind knocked out of his lungs. He looked down and realized that he was bleeding from three deep wounds that spanned from his shoulder to his waist.

Blood dripped like a faucet and filled a small pool beneath him. He felt his strength dissipating as his knees buckled and he succumbed to the cold hard ground.

"Aric!" Hugh shouted as he quickly left Serena and rushed towards Aric. Hugh activated his reddish fire and kneeled next to Aric.

"Brace yourself," Hugh warned as he started to burn the deep cuts in Aric's body.

"AAAHHHH!" Aric shouted as he felt the searing pain in his body. He could not help but smash the ground with his fist as he tried to endure the pain.

No matter how much he tried to endure, Aric's self-defenses were acting on its own accord. Suddenly, Aric's whole body engulfed itself in the cold black fire that repelled anything near Aric.

Hugh was next to Aric, so he was also engulfed in the black fire. However, Hugh continued to patch Aric's wounds. He was not affected at all by the black fire as he was immune to it.

Jane looked at the aftermath of the wolf's attacks. Jane was suffering from broken bones as she had trouble standing up. Aric was bleeding like a faucet, and if not for Hugh, Aric would have died in a pool of his blood.

She started to get nervous as she was standing in the deep dark. It did not take a genius like her to know that she would be attacked at any second.

Through the power of probability, Jane was able to extract the data from attacks on Serena and Aric to guess where the attack would come next.

Her mind reeled as her eyes wandered around the room. With the final calculations, Jane spread her arms to the side as her whole body started to propel off the ground.

Jane calculated that the wolf would attack her side. With the approximate size of the wolf, she would not be able to dodge away from the attack. The only way to dodge the wolf was to dodge it overhead.

However, not everything could be calculated as Jane would figure out soon enough.

She was high up in the air safe from any attacks on the ground. However, she was like a dangling bait overhead. She was defenseless, to say the least.

The wolf suddenly appeared beneath her as it started to elongate its head. It was only then that Jane realized that the wolf had been ducking this entire time.

She realized her mistake too late. The wolf snatched her out of the air like a ripe fruit. Serena could feel the crushing grip of the wolf on her body, and she knew that she could not get away.

She struggled and struggled, but it only tightened the grip of the wolf. She was in close contact with the wolf. She could feel the sharp fur scratching her skin and giving her cuts along her body.

The wolf opened its mouth and showed its sharp white teeth. It glistened in the night and deep contrast to its dark throat.

Bits of saliva flowed out of the teeth and hit Jane's face. She did not even feel this disgusting feeling as she was too busy shivering from fear. She was moments away from dying.

She was in total shock as she stopped struggling for freedom. She knew it was her last breath, and it would not help her anymore.

Even the sounds of her bones breaking did not faze her anymore. She was numb to it compared to the regrets in her life that she failed to accomplish.

The wolf's smoky breath filled her entire vision as it finally opened its mouth wide and took a bite.

Jane accepted her death as she closed her eyes and waited for her despair. She let go, but even after a few moments later, she did not feel anything.

She slowly opened her eyes to find that the wolf had its mouth was wide open. Jane tried to figure out why the wolf still had not taken a bite out of her, and it was only then that she realized why.

Two hands were gripping the upper and lower mouths of the wolf. The hands prevented Jane's death by a wolf's bite.

She looked at the owner of the hands and saw a familiar fat guy. It was Hugh.

Hugh's hands were silver and brown. His face contracted as he used every part of his strength to prevent the wolf from closing its mouth.

Hugh realized that he could not hold on any longer, so he looked at Jane.

"Are you just going to sit there?" Hugh questioned as he was on his final burst of strength.

Realized that she had been given a new chance for life, Jane burst with energy as a gust of wind released out of her body. The absolute pressure was enough to pry the wolf's grasp while it was busy dealing with Hugh.

The wolf realized that its plans had been wrecked, so it ran away from Hugh and his classmates. It sped into the darkness to disappear but took one last look at Hugh.

Hugh looked back at the wolf as he accepted its challenge. He would not back down from this fight.
