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] ]
