GRRRRRR!
“This guy is really big up close,” Teiko said.
Its black fur is so terrifying and not to forget that golden fang. Teiko thought.
Teiko dodges the engagement attack by the wolf. The wolf opens its mouth up, seemingly charging for a fire ball inside of it.
Preparing for a big attack, huh? I should not waste this moment since it took a little while for him to charge it. Teiko thought.
Teiko rushes as fast as he could and on his way before making a strike to the wolf.
“No, it’s too late. It's faster than any other wolf, I wouldn’t make it,” Teiko said.
No, I still have a way. Saki told me about this, I didn’t pay too much attention since I thought I wouldn’t use it. Teiko thought.
《Blink Strike》
Teiko disappears before the fire catches him. The wolf tried to search for him in that instant but Teiko was already at his back and slashed the wolf.
“Blink Strike, a skill that teleports you at the back of a target then s***h it. I told you, it's useful, you’re saying that the concept of the skill is magic but I told you it wasn’t. Even assassins with no mana could do it,” Saki said.
“No need for explanation. I surely hurt him but it doesn’t mean I already won,” Teiko replied.
The wolf uses its tail to whip away Teiko. It made him thrown out and slammed to a tree making him injured and lying on the ground.
I didn’t expect him to use his tail. I should have expected this since he’s intelligent and also strong. Teiko thought.
The wolf didn’t waste any time and jumped at Teiko with its sharp claw. Teiko rolled sideways to evade the attack but all of his equipment aside from the sword fell down.
That’s fine, I don’t need them anyway. Teiko thought.
The wolf chases after Teiko as Teiko stands up. After the wolf catches up, it uses one of its big paws to attack Teiko.
A wide and fast attack. There’s no room to dodge, what should I do? If I can’t dodge, then I counter attack. I see, he has an opening. Teiko thought.
《Snake Ascension》
Teiko jumps from his feet. And attempted to strike the wolf. However, the wolf uses its other big paw to hit Teiko mid air.
No, his first attack was just a bait and I fell for it. I can’t really do anything this time. Teiko thought.
The big paw slammed Teiko and the sharp claw pierced through Teiko’s body. Blood splattered as Teiko was thrown to the ground.
I’m done for. I don’t have any strength. Teiko thought.
Teiko struggles to get up and the wolf walks to him slowly.
The pride of this wolf. He’s waiting for me to get up here. You’re going to regret this. Teiko thought.
Teiko got up and made his stance. The wolf stops waiting for Teiko to attack.
I only learned five skills and two of them are just engagement skills. But I need to try everything I have. Fear, I’ll use that emotion. Teiko thought.
Teiko was enveloped in a dark brown aura.
Then, I feel that the cooldown of my skills are getting faster. I’ll wait for the right time. Teiko thought.
The wolf didn’t move after Teiko released the aura.
“This is where you die, I hope you’ll regret waiting for me,” Teiko exclaimed.
《Speed Thrust》
Teiko dashes forward to the wolf with his skill.
Then, I’ll cancel my skill and. Teiko thought.
《Crescent Strike》
He’ll for sure be careful about the shockwave and at this distance I could use it. Teiko thought.
《Blink strike》
Then cancel the s***h and make it… Teiko thought.
《Snake Ascension》
Teiko jumps and slashes the big wolf creating a zigzag pattern with four slashes. The wolf howled. Teiko backed off on a safe distance to observe the wolf.
“From my attack, I’m sure you’re weakened. Even with my current state, I’m sure I can defeat you now,” Teiko proclaimed.
The wolf turned to face Teiko. It was enraged and as it saw Teiko, a red aura was emitted by it.
“No way! Can he also use the power of emotion?” Teiko said.
Teiko coughs with his blood then falls on his feet.
“I’m losing too much blood. I can’t stand it anymore, and with the looks of it, the wolf seems to be alright even though all my skills hit him,” Teiko said.
The wolf rushes towards Teiko and leaps forward to attack him.
“You mortal,” the wolf said.
Did that wolf talk? Or I’m already losing consciousness. Teiko thought.
With a weak voice, Teiko said, “Saki, this is where your little help is needed.”
《Cosmic Supernova》
The alpha wolf suddenly burst out and blood splattered around the area. Only the golden wolf fang remained in place then fell down to the ground.
《Greater Salvation》
Teiko’s blood returned to him and all of the wounds were healed.
“What are those skills?” Teiko asked as he stood up on his feet.
“The first one is just my attack magic, the Cosmic Supernova is a skill that borrows the power of a supernova to transfer a small amount of its power to the body of my target. I controlled that explosion of the supernova so that the golden wolf fang is still intact. Ohh, I should have used normal skills so I could salvage his body. I bet it’s meat is delicious,” Saki said.
“That’s powerful! Though I don’t have any clue what a supernova is. But forget the meat, I’m sure it's very tough to eat considering how my sword didn’t do much damage to him. How about that Greater Salvation, it’s different from the one you’re using on me, the Greater Healing,” Teiko replied.
“The Greater Healing only heals all of your wounds and not what your state is. On the other hand, Greater Salvation does the same but it also cures any illness you have. That includes the bleeding that the wolf inflicted to you. If I just use Greater Healing, your blood will return to you and your fatigues will be cured but the wounds that his claw made will not be healed since its afflicted with bleeding,” Saki explained.
“I see, thank you so much, Saki. Even though you said you’re gonna help as little as possible, you ended up doing almost everything against that alpha wolf,” Teiko said.
“That’s alright! I don’t want my Teiko-nii to just die after a day he leaves the sanctuary. Anyway, are you not going to gather the things you need?” Saki said.
