I noticed the last person I haven't talked to yet is hiding in the corner holding meat and pouring something on it and placing it behind a tree. It was a man and he was wearing a hoodie to hid his appearance from everyone I guess.
What is he doing?
I then noticed a strange aura around him that was ominous. When he turned back towards the group I noticed his eyes were like a lizard's eyes mixed with green, but that's the only thing I was able to see.
What was it called in games again...Half breed? I think that's what he is.
I ignored him not trying to make an enemy of this party. They might be my only way back to any type of civilization after all.
I turned back to Kay who was about to go one on one against the last wolf. The others were either dead or unconscious. There were 6 unconscious wolves as of right now, and 3 wolves that I had killed, and 2 wolves that Kay killed. I looked over to Kay as he charges at the wolf with his sword pointed straight at the wolf. Then I the wolf launched his own attack to aiming at Kay's head trying to finish him off with one hit.
Kay had anticipated this and so as he was running toward the wolf he slid on the ground. As Kay slid on the ground and quickly raised his sword cutting the wolf's stomach into it. The wolf's guts and blood fell on Kay's face causing him to pass out again.
Since the wolf jumped in the air for Kay's head he wasn't ready for Kay to slide on the ground. This was the wolf's undoing.
I looked at the currently unconscious blonde boy covered in guts on the ground with a dead wolf on top of him. I walk up to him and whispered to him "Good job I'm glad I will be able to call you an ally once you get stronger." I grimed with a big smirk going ear to ear.
I picked up the dead wolf from on top of him and threw it away with the other dead wolves. I then grabbed his sword from his hands, but he was holding his sword tightly so it was rather hard. I manage to get the sword out of his hands.
Description- This is a sword that you can buy from any blacksmith in any small town.
-Item effects: None
Wow, this sword is so bad that doesn't even give me buffs; how sad. I then started to walk up to 6 unconscious wolves on the floor.
"Hey, Luna can you please come to heal Kay for he can wake up?" I asked Luna politely trying not to make her mad or anything because she looked like she could snap at me. But it was nothing to worry about she simply nodded in agreement with me and ran to the bloody Kay. That's when her healing circle of snow and light came up again.
While Luna was healing Kay back to health I started stabbing all the unconscious wolves in their head one by one. By the time I got to the last one, I had gotten a bad feeling I swung my sword at the wolf's head. But then it became hard to breathe, even hard to stand. Something strong was coming our way and It was something that Yuko nor I can do alone. I had gotten light-headed and almost fell to my sleep, but I caught myself.
"This is bad," I said out loud. I looked at the group of adventures all but the hoodie man and Hunter were unconscious. "Hunter gets some high ground and takes the Luna and the others with you," I said in a hurry rushing him knowing I wouldn't be able to keep them safe. "And hunter is careful," I said sympathetically. I can't let the first humans I've met die.
The hoodie man was about to walk away with Hunter, but I felt something wrong about this situation. He seemed completed fine and actually kinda happy about this. But why?
"Hey, where do you think you're going," I said to the hoodie man with a serious expression. He turned around slowly trying not to draw attention.
Yuko jumped on my shoulder she felt the same thing I felt from this man. Because she was getting ready to pounce on him.
The man said "I am just a simple scout accompanying this kind of adventure for one quest. They let me come along since I didn't have anyone." he is really trying to make me by this story.
Hunter is already gone far from here so I can fight without worrying now, but there is an issue about this man and the powerful thing coming towards us right now. I looked at Yuko and she was standing still on my shoulder and watching the man making sure he doesn't do any wrong moves.
"So your a theft is that it?" I asked the suspicious man questioning his story. He looked scared at what I just said. "So you are...You probably are the one that lead these Rookie adventures into this forest towards the wolves. Hoping they would pick some off and then you take the loot from wolves while they die. Then you would come back for any belongings you like. Am I right?" I said rubbing my chin piecing together this man's plan.
The man took steps backward falling down over a tree branch. "H..hhh...How...Did you figure it out.." He said studdering over his words. While his body and legs were shaking to the point it looked like there would break.
"I'm not done you are the one that brought that powerful monster here aren't you. Just because I showed up, but then you realized that these wolves wouldn't be enough to hold me back. So you decided you were going to run until you saw my pet Yuko. You want to make a lot of money off this slime don't you huh?" I said, figuring everything I needed to know about this trash.
"Pl..ease...Do...n't...hu...rt....me..Please" He said while crying out like a newborn baby. Snot came running down his nose like a waterfall even sweating like a waterfall too. His dark black hoodie was all wet and you could clearly see it. This is how scared this man was.
"A man who begs for his life, but takes the lives of others...How can you live with yourself with that? I don't care if you were going to kill these people, but now you have threatened me and my pet. What's worse for you is Yuko has taken a liking to that multi-colored girl. So I can't let her die now. You should have planned more ahead because now there is no chance of you coming out of this." I caught myself rambling on to this man. I stopped myself and started walking towards him pointing my sword at him.
"Please don't hurt me....I'll pay you I have money...You want money I have money...Tell me what you want and I will give you it."He said listing things off trying to stall time.
"I want you to die," I said with no emotion. I picked up Kay's sword in the air and seen my reflection in it. My eyes were glowing bright red even more than usual. I wonder why? A second thought I said my last words to him. "A wolf can hide amongst the sheep to hunt, but don't be shocked when the lion comes. You are the Wolf that hides amongst the sheep." And with that, I swing my sword to his neck cutting his head clean off his body.
The headless body squirted out blood like a thunderstorm it was non stop. The tree behind where the man was is now painted with blood and the grass was too. I lifted my sword up and swung it in the air to clean off the blood. This leads a line of blood where I swung it.
Then I finally felt the monster getting closer..."Yuko get ready...it's just me and you again." I said with a serious expression. "I think it's time for me to tell you about your new skills Yuko," I said opening my menu.
