"Let's first deal with them, guys. I don't think they can wait any longer." Shin uttered as he pointed toward the wolves who were ready to lunge at them.
Simon and Elena nodded as they kept their question to themselves. This was not the time to chit-chat.
"You all remember the plan right?" Everyone nodded as they were ready to face the wolves. They were waiting for Shin's signal.
Just as the wolves started to move, Shin shouted.
"Elena!!Now!!"
Elena nodded and channeled the mana inside her body. Her purple eyes turned ice crystal. She raised her hand in the air and chanted.
"Ice field." With these words excluding the 5 meters area from them, the ground got covered in ice. The Wolves running towards them slipped not getting a proper footing and tripped.
Shin and Alice used this chance to shoot those monsters with their barrage of attacks. Alice was using Mana ball and Shin continued using his Electro bolt to their fear.
After she was done making the field. Elena quickly took a stance and pointed her hands at the monsters who weren't able to keep their balance.
She started shooting sharp Icicles at those wolves before they could adapt to the ice.
Shin knew it won't be long before those wolves could walk easily on the ice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWolves are not to be underestimated in the snow too. Their paws spread out and act like snowshoes on the surface of ice and snow. They can usually outrun their weakened prey with ease.
It's a thick, soft layer that insulates the wolf and keeps it warm. Their paws are also protected from the elements. The blood vessels in their toes regulate the temperature in that area and keep them above freezing. This keeps snow from building up between their toes.
But that's only the case when those wolves have lived in the snow for a long time. The mountain wolves are not adapted to snow. So it will take them some time to adjust and walk around freely. As these are stronger than normal wolves they can easily adapt to this.
Although Shin didn't have a problem with them. If he wanted, he could deal with them quickly. But it will take a lot of energy. Which was also not a problem as he could just use the devourer's touch.
But if he does that his fighting skills won't improve. What he lacks is experiences that he could get by fighting together with them as a team.
So he won't let those wolves have a chance.
"Alice! Elena! Keep up the attack. We should kill as many as we can before they manage to balance themselves."
Elena and Alice nodded as they kept on bombing the attacks. Shin also did the same. They had already killed about 150 wolves within a few minutes. But by that time all the wolves were able to balance themselves by burying their paws deep in the ground.
The ice field won't stay for long.
"There are still about 250 left. Ok, guys, it's time for the next step." Shin said as he changed positions with Alice.
As the monsters were able to stand up again they were ready for another assault. Shin told Alice a plan and she did as instructed.
"Block monsters by your summons from all areas just leave one side empty for them as bait." Shin's plan was a frontal attack than getting surrounded. 'As the wolves have already suffered so much. They won't be reckless. Even with their bestial instincts.'
"But Shin my summons won't be able to hold them for long," Alice said while gritting her teeth. She was really angry at her powerlessness.
"Don't worry I have something for that too," Shin said easing Alice's worry.
She nodded her head and did as she was told. As the wolves saw the shadowy dark figures standing in front of them. They charged at full speed.
Shin just smirked and muttered. "Gravity control."
Soon the wolves who were about to reach the corrupted soldiers felt a heavy pressure pinning them down. Now those black figures had turned into something very powerful in their eyes.
As their prey were humans behind the corrupted soldiers they didn't confront them and turned to the open side that Shin has left as bait.
Seeing the plan working perfectly Alice smiled in glee.
"Simon! get ready to beat their ass out," Shin said as the pack was about to reach them.
"I've been already waiting for so long you know. I can let out my frustrations now." Simon smirked as he raised his hand upwards and a huge hammer appeared in his hands.
'That's hammer king for you.' Shin thought while looking at the majestic hammer in his best friend's hand.
"You stupid bastard how dare you hide from me that you were this powerful," Simon shouted as he smashed the heads of the two incoming wolves. They didn't die so he did another hit toward the ground smashing their heads.
"I was so worried that you might die in some dungeon while crying." Simon continued shouting and smashing those wolves as he swung his large hammer. He looked like a barbarian.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing his words Shin was ticked off. "I never said I was weak."
"You told me you were level 15. Wasn't that a lie?" Simon asked while he pushed another wolf to his death with his hammer.
*bzzzt*
*Awooo*
"And that wasn't a lie I'm just level 20 now," Shin shouted as he shot 5 wolves with his attack. Penta kills.
"What kind of Level 20 does that? Whatever I'm not talking about that anymore. Ughh, this is frustrating." He smashed killing another wolf but he continued smashing it until his body was disfigured.
'This guy has lost it. What happened to the kind and stupid Simon?' Shin shook his head as he turned to Elena.
"Support him okay." Elena nodded at Shin's words. She also understood her brother is acting weird.
'What is that idiot doing?' Elena shot off a wolf who was about to lunge at Simon sneakily.
"Alice are you ready," Shin asked as Alice nodded.
Shin raised his hand towards the monsters and shouted.
"Let's do some, Explosions."
*Kaboom*
