The alpha wolf was the biggest of the group with a big scar across its left eye that had healed hideously.
The scar gave him a ferocious look and alongwith it's big size and sharp claws it fit the description of an ' Alpha ' wolf perfectly.
It was a mean beast that had incredible agility and bite force, however, unfortunately was built with all brawns and no brains.
Apart from being constantly drained of HP by fighting inside the death circle, the werewolf also got his team to be quickly outnumbered by the enemy as the fight turned one sided despite his own prowess.
When Max joined the fray and started attacking it from the side, while Asiva hit his vitals with daggers, the wolf angrily snarked and barked at his enemy but it was to no avail as both Max and Asiva were extremely fast and attacked it's body with such agility that it was left with nowhere to retreat.
Max and Asiva were in perfect sync in their attacking pattern as the moment Max feigned left, Asiva moved to the right, and the two together unleashed attacks in a way that dodging both attacks at once was nearly impossible for the big beast.
It was a brutal one sided torture, as the duo pelted down its enemies HP bit by bit, until it was in a deep red, when out of desperation the werewolf used it's voice skill [ HOWL ]
A deep howl escaped its lungs as a sonic attack that caused temporary deafness and irritation affected Max and Asiva.
Max's head throbbed because of the attack, but it was not enough to leave him paralysed or stunned as fighting through the ringing ear-drums and a little loss of balance and mobility Max still managed to slice the howling wolf's head clean off.

[ System Remark ] - If interrupting people mid speech was not rude enough, now you interrupt them while howling ….. you are absolutely mannerless!
" You okay? " Max asked Asiva who was clutching her ears tightly, however, unfortunately Asiva was not hearing shit at the moment, as Max had to explain it using sign language if she was okay?
Asiva gave him a thumbs up as she stood up and checked if her ears were bleeding or not, as she said " Bloody Werewolves"
At this moment, a giant wolf body pelted with at least 40 arrows inside itself fell from the top of the hill with a thud, as Max and Asiva were embarrassingly reminded of the fact that one of the wolves had ran up the hill to attack Anna as well.
" Good job Anna! ". Max shouted the praise
" Yeah, attagirl ". Asiva chimed in as well
" Shut-up lovebirds ". Anna shouted back, her voice laced with laughter.
Unfortunately her teasing remark went unnoticed by the duo who only heard gibberish sounds due to their ears still ringing slightly.
It took a whole 10 minutes before the ear-ringing stopped completely and the duo was able to hear once again.
" Ravan, I swear that one day I will drive these ugly beasts to extinction ". Asiva cursed
" Yeah, I'll help too " Max supported
Both of them had just found another reason to hate the species even more vehemently than they already did after the vulgar howl attack.
The hour after that was comparatively peaceful for the team, as they only had to fight one undead in the time period.
However, everything changed once Sebastian came rushing back to the base cursing badly.
" Fuck, fuck, fuck, GUYS COVER ME! " He shouted about 100 metres away from the base as sounds of horses running could be heard behind him.
" DURAHALS ". Shouted Anna as Max and Asiva instantly became alert.
Max immediately casted a flame wall between Sebastian and his chasers, creating a short breathing room for the guy to rush back to the group. However, even the powerful walls of flame only brought Sebastian an extra 10 seconds to get to safety, as after the spell died down the riders continued the chase at full speed.
Four undead durahals entered the clearing from the forest.
Durahals were one of the strongest tier2 beasts in the wild and undoubtedly the leaders of undead groups at this power level.
They rode horses and were plated in full body armour equipped with both swords and spears as one of the most versatile cavalry troops.
" How the fuck did you attract four of them? ". Max asked nervously
" They were attacking a base apparently for the undead essence, and seeing the opportunity I took out the vial to eliminate the group, but ended up wasting the essence.
That got the durahals mad …. Like really really mad, and they have chased me for 4 kilometres since ". Sebastian replied, his breathing heavy due to all the running that he had done.
" ***** ". Asiva cursed, as she checked the levels of the group.

The group was in deep shit this time, fighting opponents twice their current level and with equal numbers.
It wasn't far-fetched to say that only a Miracle could save them now.

( Meanwhile Thor )
" Dear father ….. ".
Thor read the letter written by Sebastian/Asmodeus and a tear came to his eye.
Throughout the universe he had countless sons and daughters, but not one of them showered him with such unconditional love and filial piety.
He was moved by the contents of the letter and upon casting a quick inspection of the blood used as ink, he was sure that it was indeed one of his own sons.
" Very well, The university for Nourishment Of Young talents is it?
I'll personally come and see your glorious battle ". Thor said as he stored the letter safely and instructed his servant to fetch more details on the tournament.
Little did Thor know that he was falling for a trap set up by a nasty demon aimed at his own downfall.
