Chapter 10 10: Noble Wolf!

Countless golden eyes which illuminated the ruins stared at Zell. With growls and panting, sounding from a distance.

"They are nothing compared to demon brutes! What to do?"

[Zell] [HP: 8/8] [MP: 4/9]

Zell's eyes hovered between the two bulking wolves, filled with powerful muscle as their veins bulked out.

His feet slowly slid along the gravel, ready to strike. He felt the world become silent, only his breath and a faint voice insulting the wolves with foul language.

A series of deep growls sounded as the two wolves prowled forward slowly towards him like predators stalking prey. Deep red eyes fixed on him, drooling at the scent of his juicy flesh.

"Grrrl!"

"Delectable human, we will enjoy your flesh! Then tear your damn fly apart!" (Wolf Speak)

The wolves separated, their bodies lowered, stalking towards him with their huge paws, cracking the broken stones and wood.

Zell noticed a slight wind surrounding their body. His head filled with beads of sweat, hidden by the helmet.

—|Zell: 'I cannot sit and wait for them to surround me… The distant shade encloses me further. That is not a shadow but the pack of wolves behind them!'

His black sword gleamed in the light as he lowered the point diagonally down from his chin towards the wolf's head height.

Zell pushed his left arm towards the wolf to his left as the gem transformed into a blood-red colour and cast a fire-type spell.

—Zell cast Flamra

Hulking Wolf A took 9 damage!

A burst of black flames shot forth towards the wolf to his side. The bolt penetrated its shoulder, causing a deep gash, but it didn't cause fatal damage.

However, it slowed one of them down.

Zell burst forward, legs filled with all his power, and shot to the right. He tapped into his memory, fighting the demons.

Suddenly, his left hand lowered, grasping a handful of sand from crushed rocks. Zell leaned forward; his sword pointed towards the wolf, its blade parallel to his neck.

He took a deep breath before plunging his right shoulder forward with all his strength; the blade filled with the black wind as it howled through the air.

—|Veronica: 'Zell! Behind you, the mutt has recovered! What to do….'

Veronica couldn't use her powers in this world, but that didn't mean she couldn't attack. Her small hands grasped a large rock as she hovered above the recovering wolf and dropped it onto the wolf.

"Hmph!"

— Veronica dropped a sharp rock!

Hulking Wolf A took 4 Damage!

HP: 27/40

Her attack split the poor wolf's head open as its blood drooled down its fur. He looked up and saw the damned fly, making strange gestures with her middle fingers.

Zell swung his left hand across his chest. The dirt shot into the wolf's eyes as it yelped, recoiling before it could bite into his arm.

— Zell Attacked!

Hulking Wolf B took 25 Damage!

HP 15/40

A flash of black light shone. His sword sliced vertically, cutting the wolf's left paw clean in two, causing it to yelp in pain and fall onto its side.

He ignored the brief victory and walked towards the dark shadows filled with fur and sharp, gleaming teeth.

Quietly, soft paws approached him from behind. The wolf stalked close to Zell's rear, prowling for its moment to strike him.

A glint filled its eyes as it leapt into the air, rage filling its eyes.

—|Zell: 'Idiot!'

The wolf clawed his unarmoured arm with its thick-bladed nails.

— Hulking Wolf A slashed Zell!

Zell took 2 Slashing Damage

He recoiled in pain, lowering his sword before he pivoted and shot a thunderous knee into the wolf's body.

— Zell struck with his knee!

Hulking Wolf A took 15 Damage!

A heavy thud sounded, followed by the crash of its body slamming into a rock wall.

"Fuck!"

Suddenly, a shooting pain throbbed in his arm. He forgot, unlike the game in his past. Now he would experience the actual pain as if it were real.

—|Zell: 'I will beat the bastard that let me suffer full pain before the merger!'

He didn't let the wolf enjoy it first and stomped on the wolf's head several times until his head exploded into the grey matter and a bloody mess.

— Zell stomped on Hulking Wolf A!

Hulking Wolf A took 15 Damage!

HP: -3/40

"Awuu!"

"You bastards! How could you kill my brother!" (Wolf Speak)

The Hulking Wolf B charged towards him, no longer caring for its bleeding body. His steps left a trail of thick blood as its left paw floundered in two halves, tearing his wound apart further.

—Glacira

"I don't speak in dog language!"

Zell felt a little tired, not physically, but mentally, as his MP reached zero. His palm filled with a sharp spike of ice instead of launching it towards the crazed wolf. His hand grasped it like a weapon and thrust it towards the angry wolf.

Suddenly, the massive piece of ice smashed against the wolf's teeth with a loud crash, before it pierced through its brain and shattered its teeth.

— Zell cast Glacira!

Hulking Wolf B took 18 Magic Damage!

"Hah…Hah… What about the rest of the pack?"

Vincent panted. Inside the armour, sweat covered his body. No matter how often he fought in his previous life. He was a caster in that life; now, he was a close combatant.

The weight of the blade caused his muscles to ache more after one battle than an entire week of battles as a spellcaster.

His eyes looked towards the destroyed door as the beautiful sun seeped through the broken ruins.

[Noble Wolf] [Female] [HP: 12/22] [MP: 3/5]

A beautiful dog, no… Wolf stood before him, soft black fur on her back and a white furry belly and claws.

She was a metre long, with thick bloodstains in her mouth and claws. This girl amassed countless dead young wolves under her body, like an empress wolf.

"So cool!"

Her blue eyes looked towards him like beautiful gleaming gems as her tail wagged from side to side.

[Charm Triggered!]

— Noble Wolf Critically Hit!

— Able to tame as your loyal battle beast!

— Accept?
