Chapter 414 Against Blazing Wolves Now?!

-----

"This is the real world, kids! Get used to this, you'll have to fight ten times the amount of monsters every day as you explore the world like you always say you want to do!" My father said.

"If you even plan to go to the Demon Continent like you always like to say, Sylphy, monsters like these are an everyday occurrence, you'll encounter them as commonly as grass." Said Shade.

"The Demon Continent is like a thousand times more frightening than this! Are you really sure you want to go there one day?" My father teased me.

This world… was truly frightening. I can finally tell why people love to hole themselves in their fiefdoms protected by immense walls! Well, it's not like I'll back up from this challenge. Thanks to father's Elixir, I feel at 100% once more, so I won't simply let these wolves get the best of us.

However, the challenge was to keep up with father and Shade, so we'll have to fight the wolves while constantly running as fast as possible?! Well, it's a good thing they're keeping up with us, and running just as fast!

CRUNCH!

An enormous blazing jaw almost caught me, as I jumped over its snout and then unsheathed my blade. I decided that my fire wouldn't be that effective against someone that already uses fire, and Nature that uses plants is not good either as plants can easily get burned by fire, so the only natural option was…

Beelzebub, come help me!

"Eh? Me?! Well, sure!"

FLASH!

A small worm appeared over my head, as I felt his power flowing through my body, and then, resonating within my sword. I didn't wanted to exhaust Alice more than before, as she had felt rather tired, so Beelzebub would do for now!

Thanks to the sword having a piece of Beelzebub's Demon Core crystal, it resonated especially well with him. A purple and black aura emerged from my sword, as whips suddenly entangled themselves around the bold wolf that attempted to devour me with a single bite.

"Let's see… Dark Whip!"

"GRAUH?!"

The wolf cried in shock and surprise as I lifted his entire body and threw him away, his head hit the ground so strongly it cracked and opened, splattering its brains over the floor, and dying on the spot.

Ding!

[You defeated [Giant Blazing Wolf] x1]

[You earned 1000 EXP]

[Ignatius] earned 1900 EXP]

[Naturia] earned 1900 EXP]

[Naturia] EXP will be stockpiled until it can be redistributed after evolving]

Wow, I killed it just like that?! And what's with this EXP? 1000 just for one? Well, isn't this nice? I am even more pumped up now!

"Uooohhhhoo! Did ya see that?! This is my power!" Laughed Beelzebub, as the black and purple aura that my sword emanated suddenly shaped into more whips, catching another wolf that was getting near me.

"GRUOR?!"

However, the wolf attacked back against the darkness, unleashing an explosion of fire from within its own body and burning through the darkness, easily making it dissipate.

"Bastard!" Beelzebub complained. "How's this then?!"

FLASH!

My sword's aura suddenly changed, turning completely purple as strange bubbles and an acidic smell began to come out of it. I slashed through the wolf as poison and acid was unleashed over the wolf in a slashing form, splashing over its face. The wolf was blinded instantly as the acidic poison began to melt its face.

"GRYYAAAUUUHH…"

"Gahahaha! Look at that loser!"

Beelzebub continued to laugh. He was really a bad guy, isn't he? Although his methods were effective, they were incredibly cruel.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Meanwhile, as we continued running behind my father and Shade, Aquarina unleashed several icicle spears and trident-shaped spiraling water projectiles against the wolves, impaling their bodies and turning off the flames covering their bodies. It turned out that as long as you splash water or an ice spell on them, their fire is turned off and due to being wet, they can't get on fire again. This severely weakens them.

"Now!" Aquarina said, as Zack roared and quickly charged lightning into his axe.

"RAAAAAH!"

BOOOOMMM…!

He hit the ground right behind us, making the ground shake as if there was a earthquake! Lightning and winds began to emerge from the ground below as everything quickly began to crumble down!

"GROOAR!"

"GRAAAHH…!"

"AWOO!"

After Aquarina weakened them and made them slower, Zack destroyed the frail floor below us and created a pitfall that made four Blazing Wolves fall to their demise. But to make sure they were dead, I splashed poison with Beelzebub's help in there.

Ding!

[You defeated [Giant Blazing Wolf] x4]

[You earned 4000 EXP]

[Ignatius] earned 7600 EXP]

[Naturia] earned 7600 EXP]

[Naturia] EXP will be stockpiled until it can be redistributed after evolving.]

"They died so fast!" I laughed. Feeling slightly devilish. Using poison wasn't bad at all, especially the acidic, burning one that even burnt the Blazing Wolves.

We kept running, as the other five Blazing Wolves were being led by their pack leader, a [Two-Headed Blazing Wolf Tyrant], perhaps as strong as the other damn wolf. My father was getting a bit cocky by asking us to defeat this thing honestly, but somehow I felt like Aquarina and Zack had grown stronger after that fight.

"GROAR!"

Suddenly, the wolf pack leader ordered the wolves to attack from a distance fully knowing that getting closer would be detrimental for them, the wolves agreed and began firing fireballs at us from afar, blazing through the forest without caring about the environment at all. These Steppes were covered by small patches of trees that made smaller forests, perhaps even if they all burned, they wouldn't make such a damage to nature.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The enormous fireballs began being fired constantly. As big as two meters each, we were barely able to intercept them with our attacks or evade them.

"Let me help, Sylphy!"

Ignatius who had stopped fighting the moment he realized his fire wasn't effective, suddenly summoned himself for battle.
