During the eight days that Luis was helping the Lynx hunt wolves in pairs or lone wolves. Luis was beginning to better control his lightning blessing. The 2x speed was exhilarating but hard for him to control sometimes. During intense battles when facing more than one enemy, he would end up stepping too far close or back. Sera also helped him focus more on activating the blessing when he needed to move instead of having it on the entire fight because he would run out of aura after 10 minutes of continuous activation. This also didn't account for Luis putting aura in his hands or legs to strengthen them to punch or kick harder.
Luis had sparring with Sera where he also gained experience in controlling his aura. Luis also watched how the Lynx battled, how it used it quick speed to attack enemies.
By the time they headed to the main wolf camp, by now Luis had greatly improved, he was better able to control and calculate his moves conserving more aura.
After 2 days of rest, the Lynx took Sera and Luis to where the thickest smell of wolves was. As they walked in the forest the Lynx and Sera slowed down, Sera signaled to Luis, her eyes scanning ahead of the bushes into the clearing "We are finally here the main camp" she whispered
Luis peered through the bushes, getting nervous about the sight he was seeing, there were more wolves here than they had faced before. They also seemed on high alert scanning their surroundings.
"There are eleven of them," Sera said, her voice low. "This is what we've been preparing for, I will take three. The lynx will take two. You will take on six."
Luis stared at her, with disbelief for a second before his facial expression turned into acceptance. "How am I supposed to take on six"
Sera spoke in a nonchalant voice. "You have plenty of experience now, use your speed, keep moving, keep striking while not letting them come close. Move in a way so they can't surround you"
Sera then turned to the Lynx she used her hand to gesture to the Lynx, pointing at the Lynx and then the 2 more separated wolves in the camp. The Lynx growled softly, its yellow eyes glowing, seemingly unable to wait any longer.
Sera turned to Luis and patted him on the back "You got this Luis, this should be easy for you."
Luis took a few deep breaths trying to get his nerves down, he then nodded his head telling Sera to begin, with his will resolved.
The wolves were split into 4 groups in the camp. There were two separate on the east of the camp, three on the north, two on the west, and four in the south the direction they were coming from.
Sera signaled for Luis to go first to attack the 4 wolves to draw the attention of all the wolves. Right after Luis moved the Lynx moved heading east to where Sera pointed. Sera disappeared from where she was standing appearing in the middle of the three wolves in the north.
The Lynx's speed made it approach its enemies before Luis began his fight. It moved with purpose. Launching attacks on its unsuspecting targets.
Sera engaged with the three wolves after Luis began his fight with the four. She used just a branch, seeming very bored that she had to do this.
Luis on the other hand darted full speed towards the 4 wolves. Making sure he could take them by surprise. The first wolf barely reacted in time, as Luis slashed at its neck from the side, using aura in his arms to strengthen them being able to cleanly slice its neck off. The other 3 wolves quickly organized forming a semi-circle and launching attacks at him.
Luis focused on the far-right wolf. He dodged its claws going to his sides. He slashed the sides of the wolf once with both daggers horizontally, as he was dodging the attack. He tried to turn it to follow it up but the wolf from the middle jumped above the wolf Luis was attacking.
Luis dodged to the side while blocking the side swipe from the wolf claws. The 3rd wolf however came from where Luis dodged to. Luis quickly dashed back, moving his hands to block the wolf's attack. He was able to block with his daggers but not fully the claws nicked at Luis's fingers through the small gaps in Luis's defense with the daggers drawing blood.
After dashing back, The wolf Luis slashed horizontally looked like it had difficulty moving. The other two wolves next to it went in a defensive stance. Instead of focusing on them, Luis focused on the footsteps coming from his sides to watch for the other two wolves.
After he heard the footsteps, he used the blessing to run to two wolves coming at him from the side instead of the ones in front of him. He knew he was faster than them.
Charging straight at the wolves. The wolves in response both lunged at him. He didn't focus on dodging he just made sure their claws wouldn't hit any vital spots or go too deep. He took the hits and focused on attacking the legs of the wolves. Being able to cleanly slice off one of the front and one the back legs of the two wolves.
Luis felt a stinging sensation on his side and shoulder but he didn't have time to wait. He kept running forward after the exchange for a few more meters. Turning around and seeing the two initial uninjured wolves 10 meters away from him. The injured wolf bleeding from its side also made a beeline towards, seeming filled with rage, 30 meters away.
Instead of lunging straight at him, the wolves sidestepped, lunching at him diagonally from his left and right. With both the wolves coming at the same time Luis took one step back and got into a defensive stance.
When the wolves lunged at him they spread their claws to the sides with their mouths open. Luis used this opportunity to launch one dagger into the wolf's head as his claws were not protecting it. He then gathered as much aura as he could on his left hand, which was about 3%. Using the power boost he jumped into the wolf's face. Slicing vertically through it front to back.
