Chapter 47 Sanchez Blade: Thousand Strikes

Chapter 47 Sanchez Blade: Thousand Strikes

As soon as his words fell, the white-horned wolves suddenly turned ferocious as though provoked by his taunts.

The large white-horned wolf gritted its teeth and howled, making its sharp horn buzz from sparkling lightning.

Bolt! Bam!

However, contrary to Hajin's expectations, it didn't target him but shot through the other white-horned wolves.

After being injected by the large white-horned wolf's lightning, the white-horned wolves seemed to be reborn by thunder.

Seeing this strange scene, Elias raised his brows and spoke lightly.

"Oh, it seems that the large white-horned wolf is a beast king. A lightning-horned wolf king. It's different from the lightning-horned wolves you faced in the past, don't underestimate it. It gained buffing and debugging abilities of lightning."

"That's just perfect then. I won't be able to remove this anger by beating up weaklings."

Hajin snorted with a smile. He retracted his staff and cracked his hands for a moment, looking at the newly buffed wolves, he gestured a thumbs down.

Woosh!

At that moment, the lightning-horned wolves were angered. Somehow, across the language barrier, they understood.

Several lightning-horned wolves pounced on Hajin, much to the latter's amusement and enjoyment. n0velusb.c0m

Hajin raised his staff and skillfully maneuvered it, hitting, and blowing back the approaching lightning-horned wolves.

Pow! Pow! Pow!

However his attacks didn't end there, before the wolves could stand up, Hajin moved his staff in a graceful arc and paused.

[Sanchez Blade: Thousand Strikes]—!

At that moment, as though time resumed, Hajin swung the staff lightly—creating shadows and silhouettes that barraged the lightning wolves.

The lightning-horned wolves couldn't resist!

They tried to retreat, but the shadows were like the real thing, material. But when they tried to attack it, their claws went through the shadows, as though immaterial.

However, once lightning sparked on their horns, the lightning wolves realized that the shadows barraging them reduced.

Using this discovery, the lightning-horned wolves lowered their heads, making their horns blast an orb of lightning!

However, as though expecting it, Hajin smiled instead.

At that moment, Hajin suddenly retracted the staff and stopped in the middle, closing his eyes as he patiently waited.

As the lightning orbs got nearer and nearer...

[Sanchez Blade: Twisting Reality]—!

At that moment, Hajin opened his eyes and swung his staff in a circular motion.

Woosh! Woosh!

The staff, as though a large gust of wind, hit each incoming lightning orb and propelled them back to their origin!

The lightning-horned wolves didn't expect it and fell prey to their own attacks, unable to react as the lightning orb shot through them and exploded!

Boom!

The nearby trees crashed, smoke erupting from the explosions, meanwhile, Elias was undisturbed looking at the rippling pond.

After a while, the smoke finally dispersed—revealing the corpses of the lightning-horned wolves who attacked him earlier.

"Still too weak."

Hajin snickered and retracted the staff. He turned around and looked at the other lightning-horned wolves with narrowed eyes.

The rest of the lightning-horned wolves, along with the lightning-horned wolf king, took a step back and grunted warily.

They were forced to recognize the threat.

"Where are you guys going?"

At this moment, Hajin smiled terrifyingly.

"The battle is not over yet until I say so."

***

Thud!

After a while, the lightning-horned wolf king was blasted into the air, falling to the ground with a large thud.

"Impressive."

Seeing that, Elias commented from the sidelines.

"Heh, of course. I'm Hajin Sanchez."

Hajin smugly responded. He pressed the black staff and turned it into a small stick. Afterward, he put it in his pocket.

Ignoring his boisterous response, Elias looked at the Hajin before turning to his surroundings.

Hajin was mostly unscathed, as though he was never truly in danger. However, on the other hand, the environment they were staying in was mostly destroyed.

The wooden trees, strong and sturdy they may be, broke apart quite easily, faced with the terrifying lightning orbs earlier.

On the other hand, the ground was covered in dirt, blackish earth fragments spread all over the place due to explosions and the aftermath of the battle.

It could be said this place was in ruin, and most likely, all over the island, similar scenes of ruin were occurring.

Elias stood up and patted his clothes, shoving away the dirt.

"Let's go. You ruined our base, now other monsters are going to be attracted here due to the noise."

"Are you scared? Don't worry, I can handle them myself!"

"Alright then, you can stay."

"If you say so, I'll... hey, hey! W-wait! I was just joking, wait for me..!"

Hajin shouted loudly. However, Elias ignored him and continued walking away from the place unhurriedly.

Hajin grumbled before running up to Elias. After he caught up, he let out a snicker as he followed behind Elias.

"Where are we going anyway?"

"You should know where we are going. Although the information you bought was a scam, it shouldn't be fully fake and useless... unless you're a true idiot?"

Hajin immediately shook his head.

"No, I bought this from a reputable source. If I have a guess, then we're going deeper into the island, the inner circle?"

Hearing his words, Elias affirmed with a small nod.

"That's right. We're headed to the inner circle."

"I see... I guess it doesn't hurt to go there now. What about the route?"

Hajin nodded before asking curiously.

According to the information he bought, the academy island has three sections; the outer circle, the inner circle, and finally the core circle, where the academy was located.

Currently, all of the participants were in the outer circle and navigating the island. To find the academy entrance, one must traverse the inner circle and reach the core circle.

However, it wasn't so simple to reach the inner circle of the academy island. To safely reach it in the shortest time possible, a good route was needed.

This was where a great Hunter's usefulness could be identified—through the navigation of unknown lands and places.

"Didn't I tell you earlier? I found a good route for us."

Elias reminded him. This route was actually found by him through navigation and not knowledge obtained from the novel.

Using the skills taught by Donato, he managed to skilfully navigate through this island and smoothly find a route to the inner circle.

Although he knew of another route, most of the routes he knew were going to be used by the protagonists.

As much as possible, he didn't want to interfere with their adventures. Of course, if needed to do so, then the storyline be damned.
