"This guy was probably the reason for the previous wolf's behaviors...

" Danzel mumbled to himself.

nThe information contained in the remark was enough for Danzel to realize a few things of apparent Alpha of the wolves.

nThough he hadn´t the time to look through every single skill of his, he could guess some of the skill functions, like Penetrating Bite and Camouflage by just the name alone.

nWith the former guessing to be the bite version of Piercing and the latter being his way of becoming invisible.

nBut even though he knew that he still went ahead and check the Camouflage skill even if could only read so many skills

/talents in the given time.

nCamouflage: Upon activation, the user slowly starts to blend through, making him seem invisible to the naked eye. That skill gets canceled if you are 10 meters away from a target that isn´t an ally..

nLower Force Regeneration: Through the use of your life force, recently made wounds are starting to heal slowly.

nTireless: The user can delay the effect of complete exhaustion for a short amount of time.

nGolden Eye: Grants vision of the surroundings life force.

n

"Growl!

" Baring his teeth, the Alpha looked down to Danzel who was no longer than 5 meter´s away from him.

n

"You sure are confident by showing that ugly face don´t you?

" Danzel said with a hint of mockery, but inside he was wary of that giant wolf.

nAfter all, this was the first monster that was so much taller than him.

nAnd though the previous exchange it was obvious that even though I am stronger than him, his pure mass alone made the stat difference irrelevant.

nIn a sense, size does matter...

nHe had already lost half of his mana cause of him sending the mobs at him.

nAnd with the wolf's size and health points, it doesn't seem like he would be able to finish this in one fell of a swoop.

n

"Woof!

" With the bone digging through the ground, the Alpha wolves raised one of his legs and swung the scythe-like bone claws towards Danzel.

n`Dash´ With the use of his skill, he took a step back and managed to get out of the swipe of the claws.

nThe claws barely touched his shield and creating bright sparks.

nSwinging Veren towards the Alphas leg, he managed to cut through his flesh shallowly.

nSeeing the wound, the Alpha didn´t even flinch and continued chasing Danzel with his claws.

nAfter this short exchange that happend with the wolf, his arm looked like it was thrown in a blender.

nDanzel whose body was burning hot through the abuse of mana got distracted which resulted in being hit to the side and send rolling to the ground.

nRolling for a few rounds, he quickly stands up only to find the Alpha Wolve in front of him with his now healed leg above Danzel's head.

n

"Dammit!

" Cursing out loud, he raised his shield and caught the falling down bone claws above him.

n*Baaahm!

nWith the Alpha pressing down on Danzel, the ground itself started to crack with Danzel's boots slowly digging through the ground.

nHe was stronger, that was a fact.

nBut with Alpha's long legs and heavier built it didn´t matter.

nAs he was now being pushed down by this `weaker opponent'.

nTo Danzel the current situation that he was in made him frustrated.

nNever had he been so frustrated since the moment he woke up from the lake in that gave.

nIt was to the point that he was grinding his teeth.

n

"You mere dog...just because you are bigger than I, that doesn´t mean that I will allow myself to be best against a damn animal!

"

nMana traveled through his hand that was holding the shield.

nAs he was about to bend to his knees by the sole pressure alone, he finished his cast.

n

"RISE!

"

nSaying that out loud with his deep yet cold voice, the mana traveled through the ground just below the belly of the Alpha Wolves.

nOnly for an earth wall starting to rise under the belly of the Alpha wolf.

n

"Woof?

" As the Alpha wolf notice the chance, he felt his belly being hit by something hard.

nWhat shocked the Alpha wolf though was that he was rising from the ground until his footing on the ground was removed.

nThe moment the wall stopped rising, the Alpha started to fall forwards towards where he was pressing Danzel down.

nOf course, Danzel was waiting with his blade glowing with dark green light.

n

"I will cut you in half!

" Danzel yelled with Veren raised behind him.

nHis eery ethereal eyes were full of hate inside of them.

nAt the same time, the Alphas' middle golden-eyed twitched slightly and sharply look at Danzel's blade.

nThe Alpha wolf clearly remembered how that pitch-black food killed his first slave from afar.

nWith a quick reaction, he moved his body down with his claws digging through the earth wall.

n*Fsheeeeeen!

nJust before the dark green wind blade managed to reach the Alpha wolf, with all his strength it jumped using the wall as his footing towards one of the big trees.

nUnfortunately, the distance was too short to not pay a price.

n

"Growl!

" The Alpha that stuck with the help of his bone claws to the tree, grinding his teeth as he felt pain at his backside.

nStaring at the wolf who disposition itself like that, something heavy fell beside him.

nLooking at what it was, Danzel grinned viciously.

n

"I wonder what the other wolves will think of an Alpha without his tail.

"

n

"Howl!

" A dreadful loud howl full of anger escaped the Alphas mouth, strong enough to create a slight vibration through the air.

n`That must be the Howling Dread´ Danzel thought disappointed.

nFrom the name of the skill alone, he thought it would be a much more impressive skill, but in the end, it was just a loud bark...

nWhat Danzel didn´t know, or rather didn´t feel was that his howl had a bit of life force mixed in, which just by hearing would one put into shock from the vibration in their insides, which created one's body to tremble.

nIf someone else more normal than him, were to get hit by this and face a wolve twice times taller than them, it wouldn´t have been weird if they started to panic and fear.

nBut for Danzel who was oblivious of that considered this powerful howl as just a loud bark from an overlarge dog.

nAfter all, he was undead, want to deafen him?

nGood luck with that.

nWant his inside to vibrate uncontrollably?

nHe had none.

nEven then, Danzel who eyes were burning full of killing intent towards the Alpha wolf, completely ignored the slight vibration that was happening through his bones...

nSeeing all that, the Alpha's anger increase to the next level, as his powerful howl who dominated all other beasts in his territory was nothing towards that dark food.

n

"Woof!

" Flexing his muscles the Alpha jumped to the next tree again and again.

n

"What is it doing?

" Danzel watched confused, as the Alpha was jumping with incredible speed to tree after tree.

nThough it was faster by doing that, it was also further away and clear to see.

nAs Danzel started to suspect the wolf to want to run away, the Alphas started to slowly turn invisible.

n

"This one..!

" Danzel rushed towards the direction of the wolf as he realized what he was up to, but his realization together with his speed was too late.

n

"That bastard...

" He gripped Veren's handle with even greater strength out of frustration.

nBut instead of throwing a fit or anything, he stayed completely still as the feeling of ill intent was still here.

n`To think it would do such a thing...´ Danzel though.

nEven if he wanted to kill that wolve, he was still impressed by this things intelligences.

nSeconds passed with silence, slowly turned into minutes of silence.

n

"When will it come-

" As Danzel was starting to doubt his skill Greater Sense Danger, he felt a sound of broken wood behind him.

n*Crack!

nOut of thin air, the tree behind Danzel had cracked.

nTurning swiftly his back, all that Danzel was a massive mouth open wide and ready to take a piece out of him.

n

"!!!

" Raising his long sword, Danzel swung at the Alphas wolve face, but just about it was to reach the face, the scythe-like claw got in his way.

nHe managed to cut through the wolf's arm, but at the same time, Veren was pushed out of his hand from the clawless leg.

n`It sacrificed his hand!´

nHe tried to raise his dark crystal shield and use Armor Mana Plating in his armor.

nAfter he has done that, the massive jaw of the Alpha wolf came and bitten at his left hand who was holding the shield.

nThe sharp teeth with life force fused together slowly dug through his armor, and his entire arm and shield were in the wolf's mouth.

n

"You...

" Danzel said as his frustration faded with a feeling of clearance coming to his mind.

nThe anger was still there, but the situation didn´t call for a clouded mind.

nHe looked at the wolf's eyes who were turned into a moon shape.

n

"You arrogant piece of...

" Danzel who clearly noticed the mocking hiding behind those three eyes wasn´t going to let everything end here like his.

n

"You want to eat my hand, huh?! Then have a taste of that!

" Grabbing the wolf's tongue with his left arm inside the wolf's mouth, a dark green glow came from his gauntlets.

n

"Grow..!

" The Alpha growled out of pain, which made it a bit even harder.

nThe wolf's eye turned seriously as he couldn´t feel his tongue anymore and the pain was getting worse and worse by the second.

nBut it knew that as long as his fang breached that dark scrap away, he would win.

n

"You think I am done!?

" Danzel said with a vicious grin under his helmet.

nTwo ethereal blue hands appeared out of the Alphas wolve vision.

nFlying towards the lying down rune long sword, the two hands picked it up and flew towards Danzel.

nThe blade soon reached back at his owner's hand, and holding it upside down he pierced the rune longsword at the third golden eye that has widened up from the shock.

n

"Owoooh!

"

nThe Alpha wolf opened his mouth and jumped backed out of pain to the ground.

nDanzel who was still holding the Veren blade, gripped the blade tightly as a crimson color started to appear.

n

"Owoooh!

"
