Shadow and Laura nodded at Wolf as the unconscious man was wrapped in mana restraining chains.
The cuffs and chains were fairly easy to make, well, they were easy for Adrian and the old elven smith, but not that easy for the players. So far, the best blacksmith of Doncaster was capable of creating Tier V mana restraining chains and cuffs, but he still had a bit to go before being able to create better ones.
Wolf grabbed the man and put him over his shoulder before nodding at Shadow and Laura. Shadow immediately waved his hand, casting a barrier of darkness around them to hide their presence and auras before they started walking back to the tunnel they came from, only to stop a mere 15 meters later.
They sensed them.
Five Tier VI combatants had appeared, and they had already surrounded them. Keep the adventure going on m_vl-em|p-yr
"Apologies, but we cannot allow you to take him." A man said as he appeared from inside a nearby tree.
He was hooded as well, they all were.
"A total of six Tier VI combatants, you probably have a couple more, huh?" Wolf asked with a smirk as he let the man on his shoulders fall down on the ground.
"You know, I was quite confident that there weren't that many Tier VI combatants on Earth, after all, it's not a realm that's so easily reached by people." Wolf continued speaking as he grabbed his sword and stared at the man who had spoken to him.
"Well, what one thinks doesn't necessarily mean it is true." The man that was standing in front of the tree said as Wolf smirked.
"Your aura is greater than that of this guy and the other people with you."
"Usually, I would guess that you are at a higher level than they are, but, there's a small problem with that, you know?" Wolf said as he stared at the unfamiliar man.
"You see, these guys ... they're a bit weak for Tier VI combatants."
"This guy fell down so easily, I was actually thinking he was just trying to trick us previously," Wolf said as he pointed his sword at the man in chains.
"Say, you guys wouldn't have a way to make people have a strength similar to Tier VI without them actually reaching the tier, wouldn't you?"
The hooded man slightly flinched upon hearing Wolf's words, which made Wolf's smirk deepen.
Still, Shadow and Laura did find themselves blocking and dodging many attacks from the enemy. Even though they were more than capable enough to deal with one of them, each time they tried to, another one would appear, trying to hit them from the side while they were unaware or to push the other person to the side so that they evade an attack.
It was quite annoying, but it worked. Still, the two were slowly gaining the upper hand after getting used to the tempo of the battle.
Shadow moved with speed and agility, striking from the shadows with his twin daggers, while Laura unleashed powerful bursts of demonic energy, overwhelming any opponent that came near her with sheer force.
The enemies, as capable as they were, were simply not powerful enough to go up against them.
Even then, Wolf was worried.
If so many of them arrived so fast, wouldn't that mean that there were more enemies that would come as well?
What he feared before turned out to be true, the enemy did indeed get alerted to their presence, the only question was how far away were any other Tier VI combatants, and how many the enemy actually had.
He didn't want to find out, at least not now.
Reign could easily extract the information out of the enemy, so why risk staying here? He knew that he had to quickly get rid of the enemy in front of him and then go back to the tunnel.
'Tch, this bastard is a slippery one, and I have no idea if he is also holding back like I am, or going all out.' Wolf thought as he stared at the hooded man who he found had a mask on his face as well.
Without being able to see his face, see the facial movement, and how his eyes reacted with each blow, he couldn't be certain just how much power he was using.
Without that, it was hard to determine whether or not he should not only go out, but perhaps even use his mark to quickly end the battle.
If he used it now and it turned out that the enemy had an ace in his sleeve that could allow him to continue fighting for a while before more of them showed up, Wolf would be too tired to fight against them, and he couldn't let that happen.
'Tch, screw it, even if he has something, we can always just retreat!' Wolf said as his flames suddenly grew higher and his aura exploded, causing the hooded man to retreat and stare at him with his eyes narrowed.
"You are finally going all out, huh?"
"Well then, allow me to do the same, I've been itching for a good battle recently."
The air around the hooded man suddenly distorted as his aura grew as well, about the same as Wolf's who narrowed his eyes and clenched his sword, ready to fight a battle against an opponent he deemed to be his equal.
