VS Wolves (II)... [Chapter 39]
🕑 Added 2022-05-13 15:51:36 +0000 UTCEven though Daichi was quite determined to deal with the wolves, he couldn’t help but feel some unease… Usually, the senses of wolves are quite sharp, they were quite far from the gas station, but they should be still inside their range, right? Additionally, the wolves were clearly mutated, so their senses should have been sharper, right? That is how it was supposed to be, right? After all, Levelling up meant getting stronger and since the wolves had Leveled up, they were obviously stronger than before.
Daichi wondered if the wolves were trying to set a trap for their prey by acting unguarded or if their senses have dulled after Levelling up… The former option seemed to be more plausible than the latter. “Get out of here as soon as we leave the car, wait around the other end of the street. If we don’t return then you don’t need to wait for us” Daichi said with a hard look on his face. He knew that he raised several flags, but he always wanted to say something like that.
Yuriko bit her lip, but she still nodded her head. Daichi then turned toward Bella and Saeko. Bella was almost done with his weapon. It took Bella a couple of more minutes to finally finish the weapon… Bella beamed as she handed over the hammer to Daichi. “Milord, please be careful, it will disappear after a couple of hours” Bella warned and Daichi simply smirked.
“The fight will be over by that time one way or the other” Daichi grinned and Bella eagerly nodded her head like a little girl. “Good, let’s go then” Daichi said with a small nod of his head as he glanced towards Saeko who also gave him a similar type of nod, just before the two of them jumped out of the Humvee at the same time followed by Bella. As soon as the three of them got down from the car, the heads of all the wolves visible snapped in their direction.
‘That’s much more like it’ Daichi mused internally as he continued to stare at the pack of wolves guarding the gas station. On the other hand, Yuriko without wasting any time put the Humvee in the reverse gear and retreated followed by the mini-van.
“Like always, you are on the support, Bella” Daichi called and the wolves finally stood up and started to growl while looking at Daichi, Saeko, and Bella. There were at least 8 wolves guarding the gas station and no matter how Daichi looked at it, they seemed to be guarding the gas station which was quite odd. If it was a slaughterhouse then Daichi would have understood, but this was a freaking gas station.
The largest wolf let out a weird bark and moments later, all the wolves lunged toward Daichi and his two accomplices. ‘Fast!’ Daichi grimaced as swung his hammer without any hint of hesitation. The wolves were upon him within a matter of seconds, several bone snapping noises were heard when his hammer landed on the head of one of the wolves.
Saeko slashed her Katana using her Skill and sliced one of the wolves right from the middle. The other wolves howled in rage and slashed at Saeko and Daichi, but Bella with a flick of her hands, created a translucent shield behind Saeko’s and Daichi’s backs to protect them from the claws of the wolves. Using this chance, one of the wolves lunged toward Bella with its fangs bared towards her throat, but Bella was already ready for a move like that. She raised her hand towards the incoming wolf imitating a gun.
“Confringo!!” Bella exclaimed and the front part of the wolf exploded splattering the innards. Bella grinned viciously and Conjured several silver spikes in the air with a wave of her hand and banished them in the direction of the rest of the wolves.
Bella started to reminiscence the time when she had hunted down Fenrir Greyback and his pack back in their world. It was one of her sweetest memories, those foolish puppies had come to hunt her and by the end of the night, she ended up hunting them. They were kind of cute so she wouldn’t have minded putting a collar around their necks, but all of them seemed to be way too prideful, so they chose death rather than becoming her pets. Bella couldn’t help but pout at that memory, maybe she could convince her Lord to get her a new pet.
Most of the wolves dodged the silver spikes without any difficulties as they were quite nimble, but one of the wolves was not that lucky as one of the silver spikes pierced through one of its legs. The wolves howled in pain, but the howl came to a sudden stop when Saeko stabbed the wolf through its neck, ending its life. Meanwhile, Daichi was having a hard time, landing another hit. The wolves were extremely nimble and their senses were also quite sharp, but he was fast enough to keep the wolves away from him.
“Milord, above you!!” He heard Bella scream from behind and moments later he heard a wolf’s whimper from above him. Daichi looked up only to find a wolf coming down at him with several silver spikes lodged in its body. As soon as Bella saw the wold, she Conjured several more silver spikes and banished them towards the said wolf. Since the wolf was in the air, it couldn’t dodge the spikes. Since the wolf was already at death’s door, Daichi didn’t have any problems bashing its head with his hammer.
Before Daichi could celebrate his kill, the pack Leader finally decided to make its move. “Kyaahh!!” Saeko shrieked in pain as she was flung away several meters away. The Leader of the pack was so strong that it broke through Bella's barrier like it was made of glass. Thankfully, Saeko was able to bring her Katana in front of her to protect herself, but the power behind the wolf’s claw was still enough to send her flying several meters…
“Fuck” Daichi muttered and lunged towards pack Leader with his hammer over his head. The said wolf snarled and clawed towards Daichi, but an orange beam hit the claw. The reaction was instantaneous, the wolf whimpered in pain as its paw started to melt off. Using this opening, Daichi swung down his hammer, earning a loud cracking noise from the wolf. Once again, Daichi was about to celebrate, but a light green glow surrounded the wolf and its claw started to heal, Daichi was sure that its bones were also healing.
“What the hell?!!” Bella screeched hysterically and attacked one of the other wolves with some sort of blue beam. As soon as the beam hit the wolf, it started to shrivel up.
“It can heal itself. Bella, be careful” Daichi yelled as the pack Leader lunged towards Bella as soon as it finished healing. From the corner of his eyes, Daichi noticed that the last wolf beside the pack Leader running toward Saeko, who was still lying on the street. Daichi didn’t even need to think, he was already running towards Saeko. He was confident that Bella could handle herself for some time.
As Daichi was making his way toward Saeko, there was something he realized, the wolf was a lot faster than him so there was no way that he would be able to reach Saeko before the wolf took one or two bite out of her. So, Daichi decided to try something very risky, he twisted his whole body and threw the hammer just like the sportsmen threw the weights. (A/N: I am talking about the Weight Throw event if you want you can look it up on google for better understanding). The Hammer smashed at the right hind leg of the wolf.
The wolf immediately dropped to the ground as its right hind leg was completely destroyed. The wolf howled in pain, but this time, Daichi didn’t even think of celebrating as he didn’t want to jinx himself. Even though the wolf was injured, it started to make its way towards the downed form of Saeko, but the wolf didn’t make it too far before Daichi was already over the wolf with his knife in his hand. Without wasting any time, Daichi plunged the knife into the wolf’s throat. The wolf whimpered and put up a little struggle before Daichi pulled out the knife and stabbed it again.
The wolf lost all of its power and life slowly left its eyes… “You shouldn’t have targeted her” Daichi growled as he slowly stood up and started to make his way toward Saeko.
Daichi kneeled beside Saeko, just as he expected, she had sustained quite a lot of wounds. Daichi wasn’t a doctor, so he had no idea of the whole extent of her injuries, so he simply decided to leave Saeko for now and help Bella with the Pack Leader. As quickly as he finished the battle, he would be able to get help for Saeko. So after getting his hammer, he started to make his way toward the battle. Bella seemed to have a gash around her left shoulder, but she cackling in mad glee.
“Kakaka!! This is fun!! Come on wolfie, let me put a collar on you!!” Bella exclaimed with a gleeful grin on her face and Daichi had to use all of his willpower to stop himself from palming his face.
‘Insane indeed’ Daichi shook his head as he started to make his way towards the last remaining wolf and Bella. Even though Bella was clearly stronger than the wolf due to her huge arsenal of Spells, the fight was quite balanced due to the wolf’s instantaneous healing Skill. ‘We need to fight as quickly as possible, or we might run out of Stamina’ Daichi decided and he tightened his grip on the hammer…
