Chapter 24 - Bet! (3)

I descend from the tree and start following the big wolf towards the forest.

The wolf walks slowly in the forest, but then stops

He starts to smell the air, feeling something looks towards the area in which I hide and becomes alert.

'Tsk! As I expected, I won't be able to follow him in the prowl! It looks like I'm going to have to fight him head on!

With this weapon, it is not ideal to do that now! However, I don't have time to set a trap!

After all, I'm not in the mood to let my hunger control me again! So let's do it!"

Crouching behind a bush, I watch the wolf

Then I change my view to my surroundings, a forest with many shrubs, roots and vines.

'Hmm... He's walking slowly while avoiding things in his path, but I bet if he sees prey, he'll run after it immediately!

I'm sure he would reach me in seconds on open ground. Nevertheless, in this terrain full of obstacles! Huehuehue!

With my size I have an advantage! Then in the middle of this persecution, the plan to kill him comes in!

The plan I don't have yet... Damn it!'

While, I watch the wolf that is still looking around suspiciously, an idea comes to mind

'Oh, I have one! I will try to attract him and run! In the middle of the way, I try to find two trees very close!

After finding these trees, I lure him so that he gets stuck!

So, when he is stuck among the trees, I take the opportunity to pierce his skull with my spear, through his mouth!

Just like Leonidas in the movie 300! It seems like a great plan! Of course, the success of this plan depends on luck!

However, different from what is in my status... Luck is something I have to spare!"

While, I'm still crouching behind a bush, I start my plan

I slowly shift the spear from my right hand to the left and pick up a small stone that is near my foot.

'Okay! I will attack him with this! If my instincts are correct he will avoid it easily and that will give me a chance to run first!

If I do that, I will be able to increase the distance between us! Also, with that, I will finally be sure, whether he is a Lone Wolf or not!

After all, if it is not, the first thing he will do when he sees me is to call the pack! If that happens.

I will run to the river and they will not be able to attack me! I am sure, because after observing the behavior of the monsters around the river. I realized that only monsters with low intellect dare to attack others in that area!

This wolf is very smart so if he has a pack they will have at least the same intelligence!"

The wolf begins to approach the bushes slowly, carefully, while sniffing the air, seeing this I make my move.

'It's now or never!'

I use my right arm to hurl the small rock towards the wolf's head with all my strength, the wolf that was alert easily deflects jumping backwards, I take this opportunity and start running towards the river while screaming

"Look at, the fresh meat! Fresh meat! Yes, you didn't hear wrong! I say Fresh meat!

You could never find another one on the market of the forest! Enjoy while it's still available! Look at, the fresh meat!"

The wolf notices me and starts chasing me while growling.

"GRRR!"

'YES! He didn't howl! That means it is really a lone wolf!'

Realizing this, I change direction abruptly and continue to run

The wolf slightly adjusts the position of his body and continues to chase me

Even having a higher speed, the wolf cannot reach me

After all, its size makes it difficult to get around the forest, and this it must frustrate them.

After running for a while, I look back to see if the wolf is still chasing me.

I stop when I realize that he is standing, staring at me with eyes full of frustration and a touch of madness

However, what catches my attention is not this, but the fact that the golden energy around him has become more intense.

"That doesn't look very good to me, but what is he doing?"

As I watch, the wolf open his mouth and the energy accumulated around his body begins to converge towards his mouth

Then a small golden ball appears in place.

"Shit! The same thing happened when that wolf was preparing to throw a fireball!"

I go into despair, but then I calm down and at that moment, the world seems to slow down from my perspective

I enter the mental state, where reasoning is faster than usual

'Wait a minute! The wolf looks very frustrated!

Well, he chased me for about five minutes without even being able to touch me! So I can understand the reason for his frustration!

Anyway, this attack looks very powerful, and nothing in this world is priceless!

So maybe he will be weaker for at least a few seconds after this attack!

No... Even if he doesn't become physically weaker, the moment after making a very powerful attack.

Is usually what most humans let their guard down... I'm sure this wolf will do that! Despite having intelligence, it is not even close to that of a human! After all, he didn't realize that I was attracting him when I threw the stone and started running! A human would at least suspect these actions, but he just started chasing me!'

In less than a second, I get out of this state and start running towards the wolf

The wolf ignores this and continues to accumulating the energy.

When I'm less than five meters from the wolf, I throw my spear.

It hits the ground a little ahead of the wolf and rolls across the floor towards him.

The wolf seeing this continues to accumulate energy, while looking at me with a look of mockery and contempt.

However, I don't get angry about it, instead, I smile broadly and keep running

A few seconds later, I see the golden ball of light flash briefly.

"Now!"

I throw myself forward and roll towards the wolf, just before I hit the ground I hear a big explosion coming from far away

At this time, I feel a pain coming from my back as if they had been torn.

BOOOM!

[The host was Wounded!...]

[The system suggests is: Heal the Wound with something...]

Upon seeing this notification from Elizabeth, I click my tongue, and continue rolling

"Tsk!"

After rolling, I end up on my knees in front of the big wolf, he still has his mouth open and looks forward in surprise at the fact that I dodged.

However, before he can recover, I pick up the spear from the ground with my arm right and I push it with all my strength, in his mouth trying to cross his skull from the bottom up.

During this process the wolf reacts taking a step forward trying to crush me, I take a step to the side to dodge him, in that the spear is it breaks in half with the sudden pressure from the wolf, and flies from my hands.

"DAMN IT!"

Seeing that the tip of the spear still attached to the upper part of the wolf's mouth

I quickly get up and run towards the wolf's head, which is still a little stunned.

I use my arms to push the lower jaw of the wolf, the wolf involuntarily closes its mouth and with this action the tip of the spear that was stuck in its mouth, finally crosses its skull, the wolf trembles a little and then falls lifelessly on the ground, making a big noise.

[Critical-Attack]

BOOM!

After that I slip and fall down on the floor while I hear, Elizabeth say

"Phew! Elizabeth…your voice is like music to my ears!"
