BXBX NOVEL Chapter 449 – Despair
Chapter 449 - Despair
Theo and the others continued running together with all the group. At the same time, Phyrill\'s subordinates somehow became a bit more fired up in fending off the monsters on their tail.
They even volunteered to guard them, so Theo didn\'t need to go all the way to do it. This was something they agreed so as to pay back their doubt from earlier. After all, Theo just saved their lives.
Theo just let them do it as he focused on assessing their situation.
And as he expected, the situation became even worse when a ten-foot-tall wolf came out of the entrance. It stood on its two feet while holding a huge sword.
The wolf\'s howl shook the forest.
"!!!" Ivan, the military commander, dropped his jaw as he saw the change in the wolves\' movements… "This…"
Ivan gritted his teeth while walking together with the retreating soldiers.
The wolves that succeeded in ambushing them quickly spread all over their right flank, ready to intercept the humans, resulting in the growing fear in their hearts.
"Move, move!"
"To the left!"
"Run!"
They all panicked and shifted their direction, leaning to Phyrill\'s group.
"Oi!" Phyrill gritted his teeth when they abruptly changed direction. This made Phyrill\'s group have a harder time maneuvering in this jungle.
Also, they might end up in a more dangerous situation because of the unknown terrain.
Even the commander knew what would happen with this kind of movement as soon as he saw the wolves hadn\'t made their move yet.
\'They are just trying to shift our direction?\' Ivan clenched his fists, realizing that if this continued, the group would make a 180 degrees turn, returning back to the wolf city. They would be killed if that happened.
Having no choice, Ivan shouted, "All of you, return to the original course. All my soldiers, have you grown weak just because the enemies ambushed us?!"
"No, Sir!" The soldiers instinctively replied out loud.
"Good! Strike those wolves on our right. Show them what our soldiers are made of!"
"Sir, Yes, Sir!" Many soldiers shifted their position, especially since Phyrill\'s group managed to hold off their ambush.
On the other hand, the wolf king who witnessed this had an unpleasant expression on his face. He raised his sword and put it on his mouth before returning to four feet.
He set off at full speed, aiming to kill their leader.
Theo also saw the incoming wolf leader and pointed his Skylink to him, checking the monster\'s name.
Name: (?) Wolf King
Level: ???
Every a hundred thousand wolves will bear a king that controls them.
"There\'s not much information?" Theo clicked his tongue. "Skynet is linked internationally, right?"
Theo gritted his teeth and soon realized why there were many missing pieces. "No, it\'s not that there\'s no information. It\'s just because there are too many wolf kings that appear all around the world and due to the different species, the monster detector generalizes the information…"
"Phyrill, do you know the wolf\'s species?"
Phyrill furrowed his eyebrows and glanced back.
However, before he even replied, the commander had already heard that question and answered out loud, considering the question came from Phyrill\'s group that had suppressed the ambush. "No need to ask. This wolf is a Metal Wolf and since it\'s a General Class Monster, its name shall be Metal Wolf King."
He suddenly came to a halt while raising his sword. "I will handle this wolf while all of you continue."
All the soldiers heard his words and wanted to help him, but they soon saw the giant wolf leaping toward their commander. Before landing, the wolf shifted its body again and landed on two feet while grabbing the sword from its mouth, waving it down.
"Enchanter!" The commander felt tremendous power from this wolf and shouted for help.
One of the soldiers stopped and raised his hand, "Strength Enhancement."
The commander was enveloped by a red light as he swung his sword with both hands. "Cleaving Ex."
Bam.
The moment the two swords met, the collision turned the ground beneath them into a crater, sending a shock wave that alarmed all of them.
"Kh." The commander clenched his swords tightly, withstanding the wolf\'s attack. He muttered inwardly, \'His strength is too strong.\'
The wolf raised the sword again and swiped from the left while the commander countered it with another strike.
Unfortunately, his strength couldn\'t contain the wolf\'s swing, resulting in him getting blown away.
"Commander!"
"I am not that weak, you sh*tty brats!" Ivan gritted his teeth and raised his left hand. "Swords."
Seven white-colored swords appeared out of nowhere and flew forward. Two swords struck the wolf king, forcing him to blow the swords away instead of hunting the commander or his soldiers. The other five flew to the wolves that chased his soldiers, killing them in an instant.
Despite this situation, the commander still tried his best to help everyone. He said, "I\'m not that weak for my soldiers to be concerned about me. Just do your job, I will be right behind you!"
The soldiers\' expressions became grim when they heard those words.
One of them couldn\'t help but shout, "All you bastards. Did you hear that? Kill those wolves!"
"Ooh!" The soldiers were fired up and started killing the wolves more ferociously.
Seeing this, the commander smiled, "As expected, you all are still like a brat to me."
He charged at the wolf and raised his sword on top of his head. "Execution Sword."
White energy suddenly formed a huge sword as if the small sword on his hand expanded. The sword had grown twice as big as the wolf.
The commander swung down the sword with all his might. "I need to pay you back for the first strike."
However, the sword on the wolf\'s hand showed a change.
On its giant blade, a blue light shone, forming several unknown patterns that cladded the sword.
"What?" The commander widened his eyes in shock. "Is that an artifact?"
Unfortunately, the battle couldn\'t easily be resolved by one\'s fighting spirit. The wolf shattered all their fighting intent with a single swing from the left.
Clank.
A sound echoed in their ears as if someone had broken a window.
And what they saw was the wolf\'s sword shattering their commander\'s big sword effortlessly.
Aside from the shock, they all found one more thing growing in their heart.
Despair.
