Chapter 223 The Wolf King

"The wolf king still stands. I need to take care of that thing." Jake looked at the side, at the giant wolf that stood tall among all the others that rushed past it.

He looked around, at the thousands of carcasses that were slowly disappearing. But there were more that stayed there, immobile and unmoving.

"Goddamn them. Can't they understand the importance of what I tell them?" Jake cursed as he struck down.

His sword pierced through the head of one of the carcasses, and he saw the eyes go open.

"I can swear to god this wasn't the case the last time. This was so different in my previous life." Jake thought to himself.

He then looked at Kierch, who was absolutely going berserk on Jake's left. He was like a death machine, and the way he was going through the beasts around him, Jake was absolutely sure that he was going to win if Jake didn't step up his game.

"I don't want to spend too much on an Epic Item right now. And it would help so much if that guy spends more time as a guild member." Jake muttered as he rushed forward.

His basic stats were probably the highest in the entire army right now, and even if he didn't have the same level of attack speed as Kierch did, he could finish each wolf in one blow.

And quite conveniently, supplies weren't dwindling.

The wolves just kept coming at him, and Jake could see them stretch across the horizon.

"Its like they are multiplying at the back over there. I should really take care of the wolf king. Maybe that is the secret to defeating them." Jake said as he glanced at Phoenix.

This was technically the jurisdiction of Phoenix and the player from the Roman Empire.

"Screw it. I can explain myself." Jake sighed.

"Kierch! Myriad Arrows seems to have taken higher ground. Hold the fort and take my place. You can probably get more wolves this way. I will try try to push in." Jake said.

Before Kierch could even react to that, Jake started running inside.

The wolves were way too weak to stop him, and Jake could easily carve a path out of the beasts that were around him.

And facing such a terrifying opponent, the wolves were also cowering a little.

"I should have killed a lot of wolves by now. Maybe the fear aspect is helping a little?" Jake wondered.

His sword no longer shone. Instead, a gray coat of blood wasted the sword's beauty. He couldn't care less though, as he dredged closer to the wolf king.

"What is he doing? Is he trying to take on the wolf king in the middle of all those wolves? Is he an idiot?" From the distance, Phoenix could see what Jake was doing.

"And without him, is that side going to fall or something? He was responsible for a lot of the kills there." She wondered.

And she wasn't wrong.

With so many wolves around him, Jake was finding it quite difficult to move around. As his swords swept his opponents away, he could feel scratches across his armor and legs.

After a point, this was going to affect his health bar.

And he could see it slowly start to move.

"Healers! Now!" Jake shouted with a hoarse throat as he locked eyes with the wolf king that was just a few meters away.

The giant beast was sitting down, and yet it was taller than most beasts.

So when it's blue, majestic eyes swept Jake as it started to stand up, Jake staggered back unconsciously.

"Damn. From the distance, it looked so manageable. And yet, now that I see it up close, it looks so big." He muttered.

Also, Jake noticed that his health bar was not moving anymore. It was staying constant.

The healing he received was enough to take care of the two or three attacks that manage to penetrate his defense.

"Damn this." Jake cursed as he twirled his sword again.

Immediately, the wolves around him suddenly dropped down.

"All of these damned ants are trying to take me on. So many and they actually begin to become a problem. That is why I hate dealing with higher numbers." He said out loud.

His only audience was the wolf king, which took one step.

The wolves that rushed past the wolf king suddenly started to create a giant perimeter where they wouldn't disturb the wolf king.

A path was created for the king to move forward.

A circle that extended all the way to Jake.

The moment the wolf king moved, the other wolves knew that Jake was not prey they could take. They all retreated, and moved toward the army that they were to fight in the first place.

"Good. Looks like I am facing a real confident opponent in you. Why would you let go of your advantage like that though?" Jake chuckled as he looked at the wolf king carefully.

It had none of the features that the zombie like monsters around it had.

Jake waved his sword in the air so far that the blood on it splattered around, and he pointed the shining sword at the wolf king.

"Come at me. I'll see what you've got." He smirked.

But the wolf king didn't move.

Instead, it yawned?

Its jaw opened, but it didn't howl. Instead, it made a yawning sound.

"How is it so confident? It has only twenty thousand HP. It is going to fall so easily, and yet it is so confident." Jake couldn't understand what was happening.

"Maybe it is just dumb. Maybe it isn't as smart as I thought it would be." Jake told himself.

But he didn't make the first move. He had no idea what type of monster he was facing. Making the first move would be stupid.
