Chapter 407 Chased By Wolves!

-----

The Bonuses to EXP they were getting were insane, not only they were getting like 60% bonus EXP thanks to Spiritual Blessing, but also another 30% from the Level Bonus enhancing the effects of the Skill itself. Skills were really the most broken power there was, not only these two Spirits were earning better EXP, but were also growing stronger as Spiritual Blessing increased their stats by a certain %! Damn it, I wish I could use this Skill on myself as well. I have tried before, but it simply doesn't let me conjure it on myself.

"ROAR!"

Suddenly, several more wolves leaped into action.

"Alright! Time for a bit of action, do your best." Said my father carefreely.

"Aquarina, remember the training we have had together!" Shade said.

"Got it, papa!" Aquarina said, taking out her two daggers, which quickly began to flow with both Water and Darkness.

"Alright, time to hunt some wolves." Said Zack, enchanting his axe with his Mana.

"AWOOOOO!"

And from within the distance, a beast larger than the other wolves watched from afar. Its menacing silhouette had three heads, each one having two red eyes glaring down at us from afar menacingly. This was… I had read monster journals before, it was a Three-Headed Black Horned Wolf Emperor, it was comparable to a Tier 4 Monster, and it had some nasty Curse Magic to boot. Was that the leader of this pack of hunters?

"ROOAR!"

I didn't had much time to think, however, as I quickly ordered Ignatius to intercept the wolf rushing towards me. He immediately used [Roll] to enhance his speed and rolled across the air, hitting the wolf's head, and setting its fur ablaze.

FLUOOOSH!

"GRAAARRR…!"

The wolf groaned in agony as I smiled, moving forward, and taking out my sword, I slashed away its head, but quickly found my blade being stopped by the wolf's strong muscles and bones on its neck.

CLASH!

"You're strong, aren't you?"

I quickly concentrated my Mana into my arms all while I conjured the generalist [Physical Body Enhancement] Spell to enhance my Muscles, but even that wasn't completely enough, so I added the [Pump Up] Blood Attribute Spell I had learned by my own, which made my blood flow incredibly quickly, making my muscles swollen for a few seconds.

SLASH!

Before the wolf could retaliate, its head finally flew into the air and fell, rolling over the floor while its eyes were still open.

"RAARR!"

Another wolf leaped forward without even letting me rest, as Naturia appeared behind me and fired a dozen of seed bullets against it, hitting its body and leaving several holes spread through.

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

"GRAHH…!"

The wolf, although not dead, ended falling into the floor while struggling to stand up again. The powerful attack of Naturia ended being more than effective as the beast rolled over the floor and struggled to stand up back again. I smiled, looking at it as I pointed my sword and crushed its head, piercing through its skull as I enchanted the sword with my Mana and covered it in flames.

CLASH!

Its head splattered over the floor, as more EXP flowed into my body and my spirits, Naturia glowed bright gold for a few seconds, even my father and Shade noticed something odd as she suddenly leveled up but continued looking in silence.

"RAARR!"

"GROAR!"

The wounded wolf roared, quickly getting up and suddenly unleashing a mass of shadows against me, which shaped themselves as countless tentacles that tried to grab me. I swung my sword enchanted with my flames, as I destroyed the shadows.

CLASH!

Quickly evading the enormous jaws coming from above, I quickly slid below the enormous wolf's body and then jumped from behind, slashing its rear legs and successfully crippling it.

SLASH!

"GRYYAARR…!"

The wolf gave out a pitiful groan of agony as a smile surged in my lips. I jumped once more over the wolf, slashing through its belly towards its neck, making it quickly bleed out while covered on flames. Two more wolves came afterwards, without even letting me rest, Ignatius and Naturia assisted me in this battle, all while Zack and Aquarina were on their own.

"HYAA!" Aquarina roared, her two daggers spinning in midair as she slashed through the face of a wolf, water and darkness combined together into a spinning storm, hitting the wolf strongly.

FLUOOSH!

"Darkness Whip!"

FLASH!

Suddenly, she conjured a spell within her second dagger, a black dagger her father might had enchanted with his magic, as a whip of shadows emerged, quickly wrapping around the wolf in front of her and making it trip over the floor.

"Leviathan, lend me a hand!"

"ROAR!"

The little Leviathan unleashed a freezing breath, quickly freezing the entire body of the wolf in the floor, as Aquarina swung her daggers and shattered the wolf into pieces mercilessly.

CRASH!

"GRAAAH!"

Another wolf attacked, who had been running from behind her and had attempted to stop her, but Aquarina was way too fast, the wolf ended having to bear with the death of yet another companion as it furiously attempted to bite the head of Aquarina, its jaws big enough to easily chomp it entirely.

"Leviathan: Icicle Spear!"

"ROAR!"

However, Aquarian connected her magic with Leviathan, conjuring the Tier 2 Ice Magic Spell [Icicle Spear] without needing much incantation thanks to the support of the spirit itself. A large spear made of ice emerged, piercing through the open jaws of the wolf all the way into its brain, quickly freezing its interior as well and making the beast fall from the air into the floor like a block of ice.

CRASH!

It quickly shattered into pieces.

"ORRAAA!"

Meanwhile, Zack had a more rough and brutal way of fighting as he jumped constantly over the wolves bodies using his abnormal physical strength and agility, enchanting his Axe with lightning, he increased his speed several times and unleashed a thunderous slash attack against the wolf he had jumped over. Before the beast could react, a slashing axe attack sliced through its head in an instant.

SLAAASH!

SPARK!

"GRUOOHH…!"

The wolf was both electrocuted and beheaded at the same time, its roasted body falling over the floor. That was indeed quite brutal!
