Chapter 297 Awakening

[Third Person POV],

Seeing as a wolf somehow managed to get around Andrew Dawn's men who were still fighting with the other wolves of the pack, Ace brought his dual blades for the first time since the fight with the wolf pack started and dashed towards the wolf that was approaching him as well.

His body had not fully healed but he could still move it around a bit and to use it to fight against a monster than was more than 10 levels lower than him was enough.

Stopping two meters just before he and the wolf could collide, Ace stomped his feet on the ground as a means to gain fast momentum for him to do a quick sudden dash to get closer to the wolf.

Fortunately for him, his move went smoothly as his sudden stop and then fast speed the second after caught the wolf off guard as its defences dropped as it could only star as Ace's blade got closer to its head.

Seeing as he had easily taken out the wolf that just managed to prolong his death, Ace thought for a while and decided to help Andrew Dawn's men quickly fend off the wolf pack.

"Leave some for me!" Ace said aloud to Andrew Dawn's men who gladly did his request when they saw that he indeed have the strength to fight.

Ace swiftly moved through his surroundings, his dual blades slicing through the air with expert precision. His movements were fluid and graceful, despite his injuries. He had been in quite a number of battles before, but using his dual blades brought back a sense of familiarity that was a little unfamiliar before during this fight with the wolf pack.

He felt it during the battle with the mutated rats and was still feeling it making him wonder if he should really just be fighting as a pure mage.

As he approached the next wolf, Ace could see the caution in its eyes as it realized the threat it was facing. Ace's blades slashed through the wolf's defences, dealing a fatal blow. As the wolf fell, Ace felt nothing in particular. He had always been a skilled fighter, but using his dual blades gave him an edge that he hadn't had in a while during close combat.

With each wolf that he dispatched, Ace felt a renewed sense of purpose. He moved swiftly from one opponent to another, his blades dancing in deadly arcs. His movements were a blur, and he easily avoided the claws and fangs of the wolves that tried to counterattack.

Ace's experience and skill were evident in every move he made, and he quickly became the greatest support Andrew Dawn's men could currently ask for.

With Ace participating in the fight, it became easier for Andrew Dawn's men who initially had to be bothered with letting no monsters get past them to attack those at their back.

They still had to be bothered but it was okay now since they could now allow a few of the wolves to get pass them.

Of course, they did not abuse this since they did not think Ace was going to last long if more wolves fought with him.

In fact, they believed that Ace was already using all of his energy to even stand and now that he was fighting, his energy was only going to get more exhausted.

It was not their fault that they had this thought since taking the basic health pill did not exactly change Ace's bloody appearance.

Either way, it was good for Ace since he didn't need to fight more monsters than he would want just because others thought that he could handle it.

The combat prowess he could currently output at the moment was not even 30% of his peak so all he could do was provide support for Andrew Dawn despite his current combat power not being much different from Andrew Dawn's men, he would not go out of his way to do more than what was required.

For one, he still needed to guard the body of the unconscious people so he could go too far away from their bodies so he limited his area of activity.

It was okay though as the remaining members of the wolf pack ran away from the group when they saw that they were only going to remain as dead bodies the longer they fought.

This much could be thought of even with the relatively low intelligence of the wolves.

Of course, Andrew Dawn's men or Ace did not try to pursue the wolves since doing that was already doing more than themselves which was already very much unneeded.

Seeing as the surroundings had once again returned to their peaceful state, Ace wasted no time and immediately started to exchange the corpses of the wolves he had killed in the store exchange section.

Seeing this, Andrew Dawn's men also followed Ace's actions and immediately started to exchange the corpses of the wolves that belonged to them.

Although Ace could now earn gold coins by selling them in the shop, it did not mean he would disdain using any other methods that could earn coins.

Andrew Dawn men were not like Ace who had another option to gain coins so they could only use this method of exchanging corpses for coins.

Even without Ace starting it, they would have eventually done the same but due to their slow response to what to do after the fight ended, Ace who was the calmest had already thought of what to do next.

As they continued to exchange the corpses around for coins in the store, they also used this to rest a little from the battle they just had so they would have some of their energy recovered to continue travelling after they were through with what they were doing currently.

Apart from the part that they were already preparing to leave the cave before they encountered the wolf pack, they could not stay in the cave for too long as the blood from the wolves that had been slain could attract monsters to their location and if they were unlucky to attract one that was too strong, they wouldn't have the opportunity to even complain so after they were through with what they were doing, they carried who they had to carry and immediately left their current location.

During the entire battle, blue had always hiding in the corner and only came out after the battle ended.

Ace did not even know where the group was heading and was just following them.

Their journey after the incident was rather uneventful as they did not encounter any unexpected situations.

The situation only changed when Andrew Dawn finally woke up.

If he simply woke up then it would have been better but his awakening came together with something else.
