Chapter 10
The attack of the grey wolves
2 grey wolves come chasing from behind .
These guys finally exposed their figures to me .
They appear to have chosen to fight instead of withdrawing .
That is to say that they have a way to gain victory, it’s pretty dangerous .
While maintaining a perfect sense of distance, they pursue me while approaching and distancing repeatedly .
Lv7 and Lv8 .
If it’s presently, it’s highly possible for me to be their opponent even if I am carrying Milia .
However, that is if we are just talking about these fellows only, naturally .
However, the pair in front is a dummy .
They are drawing my attention by purposely showing me the 2 small build ones among the pack .
If the appearance of me taking on the provocation and slowing my foot to counterattack is seen, the other 3 hidden ones clinging on will show their appearance .
That’s the standard move of these guys .
If it’s usually, it would be fine to take on about 5 of them together as an opponent too .
I have the confidence to send all of them flying .
But, Milia is on my back now .
I have no choice but to run away .
Damn! Is this the meaning of stalker wolf!
Although I increased my speed to shake them off, but still, they are catching up without fail .
A high level dragon would do as it wants here, but I do not have much stamina left due to depleting all my MP from using recovery magic forcibly .
Despite being able to scatter these fellows if it’s usually……… . it’s useless to be vexed .
“Garuaaaaaa!”
“Gururururu……”
“Gauraa!”
“Gauu!”
“Guoooo!”
The wolves howl .
Did they judge that I did not take up the provocation? Or was it because they notice that I was worn out particularly? The ambush tactic was abandoned, and they chase after me with their full strength with the stern looking wolf boss at the head .
It’s also unpleasant to have all 5 of them .
The vanguard just now was lv7 and lv8……that is fine .
It’s a class I can almost hunt with no damage .
And, the 2 trying to match up to the boss wolf in the middle are lv10 and lv11 .
When it comes to around this, I will only hunt them if there is suitable margin normally .
Although I would not be defeated, it’s because there is the also the possibility of magical beast entering to profit while we are fighting since a battle is tiring .
And the last one…… . shit, isn’t the boss wolf lv15!
It’s the first time I am seeing such a high level grey wolf .
It’s an opponent I will ignore even if I am in a perfect state normally .
Now that my body is heavy and covered by injuries and my MP is 0 too, it’s something I never want to fight .
Aaah, Mou! How persistent!
Although I am making frantic efforts to run too, the distance is rapidly shortened .
The boss wolf is damn fast .
I looked at the status, but it’s speed is only roughly similar to mine .
It even holds the title called [Hunter of the forest] .
That guy is a considerable fellow among the grey wolf .
Fortunately, the distance between the boss wolf and its followers are quite wide .
It’s a dangerous bet, but it may be possible to defeat the boss wolf even while protecting Milia .
It will only go into a frenzy even if a follower is defeated, but I should be able to escape if I crush their leader .
If it’s not possible to escape, at most I’ll attack .
I wanted to take the preemptive attack reliably with breath, but as I have no MP, there is no choice but to exchange blows .
Although it will be lying if I say I’m not uneasy about defending Milia completely, there is no other method if I go for an attack given that it’s that or escaping .
If I consider overlooking the matter of the little rock dragon plainly, the painful situation so far might be the first time I’m driven to a corner .
I raise my speed in one go .
Opening the distance with the boss and follower wolf, it was so that they would not interrupt the battle .
It’s beyond my power when it becomes a group fight .
Although I had hope that it was possible to shake them off by speeding up, it isn’t such a lucky story .
Though I didn’t expect much too .
Dropping my speed rapidly, I stopped and look back after jumping onto the branch of a tree nearby .
The boss wolf was puzzled by my unexpected movement .
I trample the head of the boss wolf by kicking the branch and jumping down .
“Gyan!”
I gave a hard blow with my full strength without reservation to the back of the head that became exposed like that .
Kicking the boss wolf that was stepped on while glaring at the followers catching up, I jump back with that recoil and started running once again, changing direction without killing the momentum .
It was according to the simulation pictured in my head, but there was only 1 miscalculation .
“GUOOOOO!”
I wasn’t able to kill the boss wolf .
Nonetheless, if I held out more than that, I would not be able to escape from receiving the attacks of the followers .
It can’t be helped .
Probably due to my fatigue, it seems that the force of my attack that didn’t reach was more than expected .
Although it would be good even if it had fainted, the boss wolf is furious .
Rebuilding its posture quickly, it glares at me with red eyes . With a speed above that so far, it chase me after sending a concerned follower who rushed over flying with a strike of its claws .
The boss wolf gouges the ground with its claws and accelerates violently, disregarding its stamina .
Its state became [Rage] .
Around a quarter of its HP still remains .
The distance that I have gotten with much effort is shortened again .
What should I do? Do I attack again somehow?
There was an advantage just now as I was showing the posture of [I’m escaping] .
If we come face to face again, I may not necessarily be able to obtain the initiative .
It’s also a problem that the reckless movement of the opponent is hard to read due to the result of [Rage] .
If I take a single blow, it will become fairly severe in my present condition .
My HP is so too, and there is also Milia’s situation .
If there is MP for [Baby breath]………I can’t go into lamenting .
Turning my body around in midair after jumping, I changed my course suddenly by kicking on a tree with my hind legs .
However, the Milia’s body is pulled by the centrifugal force, my balance was lost backwards . That is bad .
“GuOOOOo!”
The boss wolf attacks with its claws .
As a result of swinging that down diagonally, I received it in front from my chest to my stomach .
I nearly drop Milia and shouldered her again .
As if mocking me who diverted my awareness from the enemy in front of my eyes, it presses another follow up .
A reverse diagonal strike of the claw .
“Gahaaa!”
Although I guarded with my shoulder, the wound is deep .
The second fastest wolf in the pack catches up, and goes around to my back .
I twisted my body at once, receiving a blow on my side from my blind spot .
That was dangerous, Milia nearly died .
I fling Milia to the ground .
Even if the damage when landing was severe on her presently, it was necessary to separate her from this place .
I who became light avoided the attacks coming from my front and back, and sent the boss wolf flying with a strike to its nose with all my strength .
HP 0 is confirmed . Its dead for sure this time .
[60 exp obtained]
[Due to the title [Walking egg : Lv–], an additional 60 exp was obtained]
[ Level of [Baby dragon] increased from 20 to 22]
Haa……Haa, I’m considerably tired .
Although it’s good that my HP recovers when leveling up .
I tried raising my fist, but my arm doesn’t go up .
“GuoooooO!”
My shoulder was bitten by the follower wolf that sprung from my back .
Shaking it loose, I kick it away . I tried to carry Milia and run again .
They seem to have perceive that I have weaken considerably, and the wolves doesn’t stop chasing me .
Even though they should be frightened if I defeated the boss wolf, was it because I am not able to bring down the wolf that bit me at the end? They seem to make light of me .
My consciousness is dim as I only have a small amount of HP .
I have a headache .
The claw wound is painful .
It’s painful at my shoulders where I was bitten .
My feet gets heavier progressively .
“Gaaa!”
The wolf that caught up to me extends its claws to my back .
Twisting my body to protect Milia from the claws, I receive the attack on my body .
Due to my body becoming heavy inevitably when such a thing carries on, my consciousness faded for a moment suddenly .
These fellows are not so kind as to overlook the chance .
Cleanly .
I hear the sound of meat being gouge out from my back .
Ah, did I die?
Strangely, there is no pain . It’s may the way it is .
Huh? But my body still moves, and there is feeling of my back too……huh?
Waking up my brain that has lost its normal thinking, I realize after a delay .
The body that has been gouged, was Milia .
Her HP shave off drastically once again, and there was a bad status, an abnormal state of [Bloodshed] .
Her life that I somehow manage to connect, is starting to waste away again .
Blanking out, I bellow .
The four wolves dropped half a step like they felt something .
[Condition became [Rage] ]
