Chapter 170: Dangerous Attempt

'Albus, send messages to the others not to interfere without my say.'

'Got it.'

Geth closed his eyes and spread out his senses again. The wolves either weren't bothering with or weren't able to hide their presence.

'Ten... Eleven... Twelve. There are enough for a few tries, but I'll have to be fast.'

The Direwolf pack curbed their speed as they entered the thin mist. They became cautious as they moved forward.

The mist wasn't enough to block their vision, but the additional properties dulled all of their senses.

Geth dispersed all of his selves and focused all of his ability. Time seemed to slow to a crawl as the wolves stepped below his resting place.

'Now!'

Geth cast Tame Creature twelve times in quick succession. Formations appeared above and below each of the Direwolves, soon trapping each of them in a luminous cage.

The Direwolves had already started to act when the first Formation appeared. All twelve had been cast in less than a second, but the wolves' instincts weren't to be underestimated.

'Albus, inform the others to attack any wolves that break out of the cages.'

The highest Level wolf shattered the Formation before the enclosure had fully formed. A low growl escaped the beast's throat as the Formation turned to dust. Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

The creature's hair stood on end as the air around it began to crackle and warp. Even the softened ground below the Direwolf's feet began to bubble.

The mist on the small path quickly faded away as the wolf released its aura. Its head instantly whipped up towards where Geth was standing.

Geth wasn't idly watching the show. He saw what was happening long before the wolf had shifted its gaze.

The ground beneath the beast softened further, causing the monster to sink. Before Geth had the opportunity to harden the earth, the wolf had already thrown itself to the side.

A solid black arrow flew over his shoulder and slammed into the wolf before it could get close. The wolf was thrown back many yards before it finally skidded to a halt.

Geth glanced back to see his Skeleton standing behind him, readying another arrow.

"Thanks, you keep them pushed back, and I'll wear them down!"

The Archer nodded but didn't speak. Geth's Foresight alerted him to danger from his right.

He ducked down just in time for a set of molten claws to graze harmlessly over his head.

Sweat dripped from his brow as the heat washed over him. Even with his enhanced Defense, he could feel the effects of the beast's paws.

He launched himself from the ground, tackling the belly of the Direwolf standing over him. It flipped head over heels in the air, thudding to the ground a short distance away.

"There's too many of them."

He watched another pair of wolves shatter their cages. Arrows flew over his head in a barrage of colors.

Each arrow had a different horrifying effect for whatever wolf it was targeting. Even if a wolf managed to dodge it, the Skeleton would control the projectile to turn and attack from the other direction.

'What an impressive display,' Geth thought.

He noticed that arrows and spells began to target the wolf that he'd thrown to the ground. Its health had already dropped by half before it could climb to its feet.

One of the wolves that had just broken free was tossed to the ground by a massive hulk-like figure. Two spiked maces slammed into the creature over and over.

The wolf didn't take it lying down. A flurry of claws and fangs assaulted Swole from the front.

He laughed as he continued his assault. With each strike, every injury would start to close.

The wolves started to slow their attacks as their confidence faultered.. Two of their highest Levels lay dead on the ground.
