Chapter 25: Familiar Wolf
"This... this... how can you be so strong, Aur?" Emma said with disbelief.
"We should finish this quickly," Aur said as he walked forward with an expressionless face.
Emma was speechless, while Chloe looked at Aur's back with narrowed eyes.
"Maybe he is right after all..."
She followed him without speaking much, and Emma gritted her teeth before she followed Aur as well.
Finally, a bright light flickered in front of Aur.
Aur squinted his eyes, seeing the bright light. "Are those mage crystals?"
Chloe and Emma were also excited when they saw this. However, the trio still treaded carefully, maintaining silence as much as possible.
Before they finally saw a pack of wolves settled right near the mana crystal which shone with a purple glint.
"Are these low-grade mana crystals..." Aur's eyes narrowed as he ignored the pack for the time being and carefully looked at the shining stone behind the pack.
The reason it was producing such a bright light was that, besides the mana crystal there were other stones producing it, the actual crystals were very dim and had very few patches of purple in the mana crystal.
"How should we deal with them, Aur?" Chloe spoke in a hushed tone as she started to sweat from seeing the sheer quantity of wolves located in the camp, numbering at least ten, and they were all grown, which meant their danger level was all level A.
Aur's eyes narrowed as he had a contemplative expression on his face.
"Let's deal with them one by one. That is our best bet." Although Aur wanted to fight them alone to test his physique, why should he risk his life for killing these wolves? He has already experienced death once.
Although it was pleasing, taking himself down with all his enemies, still, after you die, your existence will be nothing but a piece of waste that will nurture the environment, and that too was not possible since he had detonated a small nuclear bomb.
As the green liquid was ejected, the wolf was poisoned, and numerous injuries accumulated from the rapier. Although it couldn't significantly damage through its strong pelt, the accumulation of the damage was a terrifying thing.
With horror in its eyes, its pupils slowly dilated as it fell to the ground, dying in helplessness.
However, Aur didn't let go for a long time until he couldn't sense the heartbeat of the wolf; only then did he release its jaws.
The wolf fell to the ground with a thud, the area around it stained with its purplish blood, forming a small pond.
"Alright, one down, nineteen more to go..." Emma said in frustration.
Chloe was also not in the best shape; her rapier showed signs of becoming dull. Although she had just slashed at the strong pelt with her rapier, it had caused the blade to lose its sharpness just from the sheer durability of the pelt.
"We can't continue killing nineteen more like this..." Emma said with a huff.
Aur just frowned as he remained silent.
However, before they could think, suddenly a loud roar reverberated in the surroundings as shockwaves were produced, sending Aur and the twins flying.
The twins directly crashed into the wall of the cave. Chloe was hurt in the head, causing her to faint to the floor while Emma coughed up blood.
Aur's eyes widened as he swiftly manoeuvred himself, landing on the ground as he looked at the incoming roar.
The wolf was at least ten feet long, roughly 308 centimetres, towering in size with their furry blue thick coats covering them, their nails and teeth razor-sharp.
"This is..." his pupils widened, seeing the familiar wolf.
"Isn't that the wolf I saw using my future seer skill?" Aur looked around, seeing no bigger wolf than the blue-coated wolf in front of him. He heaved a sigh of relief.
"Luckily, it is one of its pack only," he thought, as if a heavy burden was lifted thinking of the terrifying fire that burned the village in his vision.
