nThe shadows merged and from within came out a Dark Wolf that was at least 3 times the size of a regular one. Its length was slightly over 5 meters, and it emanated bloodlust as it stared at them.

n

"Serena, any idea what that is?

" John asked.

n

"No... It's probably just a stronger version of the regular shadow wolf..?

" She asked in a confused tone.

n

"Yeah, jumping straight on might not be a good idea for this one...

" John muttered as he cast levite.

nThe wolf charged straight at them as it saw him slowly ascend into the air and tried changing its target to John as he flew closer to it while he stayed above it.

nAt first the wolf ignored him and was about to move on, but before it could John cast gravitas on it.

n

"Gravitas x 25 and Glacies,

" John said.

n10 Ice spikes were formed around him, a number he never expected to be able to freely use.

nThe wolf stopped on its tracks, turned around and watched John as he descended back on to the ground.

n

"Here, now we can have a fair-

"

nBefore John could finish, the wolf charged at him with intense bloodlust. It was as if everything it was containing burst out, containing and burst.

n'I just got an idea for a new spell,' John thought.

nAs John thought that he leapt back away from the ice sphere to dodge it, despite trying to shake it off by leaping it around it stayed on him and was getting closer and closer.

nOnce they were a moderate distance away from the sphere, a distance where Serena and Ariel could still attack it, it caught up to John. The instant it did, it took a bite straight at him.

nJohn barely managed to dodge by propelling himself back with a ventus and while he was inches away from its teeth John propelled the 10 ice spikes around him, straight at it from point blank.

nCrackling sounds could be heard as each spike made contact, and John successfully managed to land all 10 spikes on it, 4 on the face and the rest on the body.

n

"What?!

" John exclaimed in surprise.

nIce made contact, but it didn't spread, it simply froze the area it hit.

n

"Awooooo!

"

nThe wolf let out a loud howl which resounded throughout the Area. once it stopped. It turned its head back to the direction of the ice sphere.

n

"Velox Duplici!

"

nJohn propelled himself straight in front of the direction he was facing once he realised his intentions.

n

"You're not getting past me.

"

nAs if ignoring John, the wolf began to charge straight at him.

n

"Glacies Murum,

" John muttered.

n4 Ice Walls were formed behind him. John put them each side by side, to prevent the wolf from being able to go around.

nThe wolf charged straight with the intention of breaking through.

n

"Just like that...

" John muttered.

n'If I can't freeze you or hit you, then I guess I'll try what I didn't get to in the dungeon.' John thought.

n

"Ignis,

" John said as he pointed his finger to the sky.

nA Blue flame was formed slightly above it.

n

"Aqua,

"

nA Sphere of water was formed on top of the flame. John merged them together, and the water began to let off steam as it evaporated from the flames.

n

"Ventus

"

nWhile continuously forming Flames and Water spheres and evaporating them, John began to gather the gases and steam formed from the sudden reactions and compressed them.

nJohn moved the burning water and steam from the top of his finger to a moderate distance away from the palms of his stretched out hands.

nThe wolf began to growl once it noticed that John was charging up an attack.

nIf you mix up the right gases and ignite it, you can create something called a gas explosion. For example, butane a gas at room temperature and highly flammable, chemically composed of 4 Carbon atoms and 10 Hydrogen atoms

n'If I keep heating up water like this, I'll be able to create this gas at a faster rate than just simply gathering it from the air,' John thought.

nAfter it was ready John stopped burning the water chemicals so as to not ignite the gases accidentally. He had gathered them and now began to compress them; he compressed it and compressed it and compressed it until it was about the size of a marble. John could tell it was ready to burst at any minute

nBy the time John had finished, before he even realised the wolf had already jumped at him with its mouth opened ready to gobble me up.

n'I won't make it in time-' John thought.

n

"Cra- ARGH!!!

" John shouted in pain as he failed to propel himself away fast enough.

nJohn wasn't fast enough, and it ended up biting into his arm while he was propelling himself.

nAs pain pulsated through his right arm, a grin formed on his face as John propelled the small explosive marble which was in the palm of his hand that it bit further inside of its body.

n

"Drop... Dead... Ignis,

" John muttered.

nA split second later, a faint light was formed on the inside of its belly, that light was followed by a loud *BOOM!*
