BXBX NOVEL Chapter 142: Awakening [ XXII ]
The forty-plus wolves gathered around the wall of flame, ready to tear Blaze apart.
The pack leader could be seen approaching Blaze coldly, a strong killing intent radiating from its glowing red eyes.
Blaze shivered uncontrollably; he hadn't felt this fearful since the Ratax attack. At this moment, Blaze felt that death was closer to him than survival.
Blaze braced himself to engage even though he knew it was futile.
*GROWL*
The pack leader let out a cold growl as it drew closer, its eyes fixed on Blaze and the wall of flame, failing to notice the phenomenon taking place behind.
The other wolves stepped aside obediently as their leader drew closer.
Blaze used [ Flame Synchronization ] to boost the intensity of the flame wall to try and fend off the pack leader and stop it from getting closer. But it failed miserably; the pack leader kept moving closer without halting. It was as though it was set on intimidating Blaze before finally killing him.
Blaze tossed fireballs and flame disks at it, but it evaded them without much effort.
After closing the distance between them, the pack leader finally launched into the air in a powerful leap as it prepared to pounce on Blaze.
Time seemed to slow down at that moment; Blaze's eyes were fixated on the huge figure of the demonic wolf pack leader.
The other demonic wolves looked at their leader with pride—they all knew it was over for Blaze.
The demonic wolf pack leader was descending when suddenly a figure shot out from behind Blaze, disrupting the chaotic scene at once—it was none other than Rowan!
Rowan was covered in dark mist that spewed out vigorously. In his hands was a black dagger that glowed menacingly.
The gigantic demonic wolf pack leader was stunned when it saw Rowan's dark figure darting towards it at an impossible pace.
"You bastard wolf!" Rowan shouted as he thrust his dagger forward and stabbed its eye.
It let out a loud painful cry as it landed back on the ground a few meters away from Blaze.
Rowan also landed on the ground and stared at the pack leader with hatred.
The other demonic wolves stepped aside as though they were giving both of them the platform to fight it out.
Blaze canceled the flame wall and stepped beside Rowan.
"You did a good job, Blaze. You can rest now; I'll take care of these bastards for you," Rowan said to Blaze without looking at him, his eyes fixed on the pack leader.
Blaze nodded and stepped away from the brewing battlefield.
The demonic wolf pack leader was furious after its eye got stabbed by Rowan.
It let out a bestial growl, and suddenly all the demonic wolves that had stepped back earlier started circling Rowan.
"What a cowardly leader you are," Rowan scoffed, turning to the group of wolves circling him.
The wolves got closer and at once they pounced on him.
Rowan was unfazed; he clutched his dagger and muttered slowly, "Activate Blade Spirit."
Immediately, his dark blade was engulfed in intense blue energy.
Not wasting time, Rowan moved away from his current position at an unmatchable speed and attacked the closest demonic wolf.
His dagger pierced through the neck of the demonic wolf, causing it to let out a cry as it began bleeding profusely. It died immediately from the intense blood loss.
[ You've slain x1 Demonic Wolf, Evolution points +300 ]
[ 100x reward activated | 30,000 evolution points have been rewarded ]
Two demonic wolves nearby pounced at him from opposite directions, filled with hatred after witnessing the murder of their colleague.
Rowan sprinted away from his position, causing the two demonic wolves to clash against each other, injuring themselves with their own claws.
Rowan smirked and quickly slew both of them as the nearby demonic wolves became even more serious with their attacks.
Rowan danced through the battlefield like the proverbial reaper. His dagger, akin to the scythe of the reaper, snatched the souls of every foe he came in contact with.
His movement across the battlefield was effortless.
It was almost as though he was having a field day battling with them. He wasn't taking the fight seriously at all.
Blaze watched from the sideline and was pretty surprised.
Blaze was very confused. 'How did Master grow this strong?'he wondered.
About a week ago, Blaze had witnessed the power of Rowan.
But at this moment, the power Rowan showcased was so much more than what he had shown last time. Such power growth was difficult to understand!
If any of Rowan's men were here, they would be pretty surprised at how fast and strong he had suddenly become.
Meanwhile, the demonic wolf pack leader, standing a few meters away from the heated battle, couldn't help but observe its minions getting slaughtered ruthlessly by Rowan.
It didn't even know how to react properly to the current situation.
Its pack had always been the apex in this part of the dark forest.
They had been able to defeat their foes easily, be it fellow demonic beasts, monsters, or even humans!
Never had they engaged in battle with someone so powerful.
Rowan, on the other hand, basked in his newfound powers.
"I feel so much stronger and faster. My speed right now could rival that of the fastest car on earth; this is very refreshing and rewarding considering the insane pain I experienced just a few minutes ago!"
Rowan thought to himself with a smirk on his face as he stabbed the heart of one demonic wolf and sent another one flying into the air like a ragdoll.
Thanks to [ Blade Spirit ] he received after evolving, the attack power of his dagger had increased by a large margin, making it really enjoyable and effortless to slay the demonic wolves.
With his dagger and his fist, he was able to defeat the pack of demonic wolves easily.
Only the leader remained standing a few meters away, staring at Rowan with pure hatred.
But Rowan wasn't bothered as he proceeded to use [ Eyes of Revelation ] to check its status.
[ Boss Monster - Demonic Wolf Pack Leader ]
[ Mid Rank-E monster ]
[ Health: 89% ]
[ Special skill: Revenge (D) ]
[ Status: Revengeful ]
"Nice skill," Rowan smirked.
