After killing the first Shadow Wolf the rest of its pack also started coming our way. Though the first wolf was easy to kill I was unsure if I could even fight seven more under my condition. An eerie smile spread across my face from ear to ear adrenalin coursing through me. A huge wolf twice the size of the first ran out of the darkness, if the first wolf's fur was made of shadows then this one's fur almost seemed made of nothingness itself. It eyed its dead brethren to then fix its gaze at me with unparalleled enmity showing its ugly maw but not approaching.
[High Partial Void Wolf lv.16]
Soon seven more wolfs came racing out of the foliage of the woodlands before stopping by the side of the larger wolf. Why couldn't I hear the big one's footsteps, a skill maybe? Things just keep getting more exciting! I held my hand up
"Aqua I need some mana,"
I said activating Mana Share "Ok!" as Aqua said that word I felt energy start filling my body. Time to see what magic can do. Then using Skill Share, I pointed my hand at a smaller wolf that was only lv. 7
"Water Bolt"
I felt my newfound energy coalesce in my hand disappearing as water accumulated in front of my palm before shooting out as if a rock slung from a slingshot. It got halfway to the wolf before the water slowed and dissipated into nothing.
"Why did I expect anything else," I said as the smile on my face disappeared. I deactivated the skills sighing.
"Just cover my back Aqua," I launched forward in front of the lv.7 shadow wolf in a matter of a few seconds with a readied punch for it, but as I was about to make contact it disappeared into its shadow as I then got swatted by the void wolf's tail sending me flying. I slammed into a tree with a crash breaking off the bark and splintering the wood before falling back to the forest floor onto my hands and knees.
"Achilles, are you ok!!"
Aqua cried out, fear, it was scared for my life. Blood slowly leaked from my back, I knew that this was going to be a difficult fight but not impossible, I wasn't going to run away. I put one foot forward using my arm to push off of it to get myself back up
"I'm fine," is all I said closing my eyes and focusing on my body. The low-leveled wolf from before seeing me vulnerable came rushing at me this time, the void wolf watched closely. I knew that this attack needed to happen fast as well as at the right time much like the first wolf. I got into my boxing stance bringing my left foot forward, elbow tucked to my side, my hands held level, and opening my eyes to lock onto my target. I took a deep breath letting my body become relaxed yet unmoving. The wolf Jumped up into the air aiming for my neck about three inches from me with its gaping jaws ready to bite down. I breathed out releasing an uppercut, instant contact, its head detached from the body and sent soaring through the air landing on the ground a few seconds later and rolling next to the huge void wolf's paw "Who's next" I said now with an insidious smile sending shivers down the lower leveled wolves spines "Congratulations New Skill: Intimidation acquired!!"
