Feeling the slow movement of my head, bopping up and down, I woke up and slowly opened my eyes to see myself being held by an Alpha Wolf
I tried to recall things and it took me a while to remember that I was grabbed by the Alpha Wolf and taken away from Jiyoon-ssi.
Unknown to the Alpha Wolf, I was raising my hand when a sword appeared on it. I swung the sword to hit the Alpha Wolf's arm to make him let go of me.
Unexpectedly, my low grade sword didn't even make a small scratch on the Alpha Wolf's arm. I fucked up. Or rather, my sword fucked up.
The Alpha slowly turned his head towards me and I could only smile nervously as he smiled back at me.
"Trying to escape? Not until I make lunch for my remaining kin."
"What?"
The Alpha Wolf's grin grew bigger and I started sweating profusely while I struggled to cut his arm off using my sword.
I looked around and it seemed like we were on our way to some parking lot building in the city.
"Shit... I'm hearing some wolves growling. I'm going to die..."
But I remembered one more thing before we made it inside. I had coins with me. I quickly opened my system and saw the number of coins I had. [ 150 Coins ]
Even though I had 150 coins, the second grade sword next to the low grade one was 200 coins, so I had no choice but to buy something else that might be useful.
[ Unlock Attack Skill 1. Cost: 100 ]
I couldn't see what skill it was going to be, so it was going to be a huge gamble. But when we made it inside, I saw a slither of hope. Seven wolves worth 50 coins each. Multiply 50 by seven, I'll have 350 coins to earn, so I cancelled to purchase.
"Hey, you were sucking the mana out of me earlier, right? That's why I couldn't use a skill to escape. Guess what, you aren't anymore and I've regained the mana I lost."
I activated [ Momentary Shield ] to wrap it around my body and expand to make the Alpha Wolf open up his palm.
Once I had fallen out of his grasp, the Alpha Wolf seemed shocked as I ran towards the unalerted seven wolves.
The wolves heard my loud footsteps echoing through the abandoned parking lot and they turned to me before charging.
I hit one of them and dodged a slash from the Alpha Wolf behind and activated [ Sword Mastery. ]
Two wolves lunged towards me, but I did a circular spin to slash them both at the same time.
"There!" I smiled once I had made 200 coins from the kills.
Another wolf tried to grab me with both hands, but I sliced off both of its arms before thrusting my sword inside its mouth and doing an upward slash inside, slicing the wolf's head almost in half, vertically.
I quickly ran away and let the last three wolves chase after me.
[ Would you like to purchase an enhanced steel sword for 200 Coins? Choices: Yes or No. ]
[ Yes. ]
There felt like there was nothing new with the enhanced steel sword from the old one, but this one felt a lot more lighter when swinging. I don't know about the damage, though. I could only hope I didn't spend my coins on anything useless.
"I told you about murdering my kins before... I should have killed you earlier!"
A sudden feeling of something lunging behind me made myself turn and immediately swing my sword. I swung my sword out of instinct and I somehow hit the Alpha Wolf on the face, taking out one of his eyes.
The Alpha Wolf stopped running and clutched onto his eye that was missing while the other wolves chased after me.
I think was on the third floor of the parking lot building, surely it won't be that high, right? Right?
I reached the end of the parking lot and saw it was quite a high jump, based on the building across.
The two wolves jumped at me and I immediately ducked, while the two wolves jumped off the parking lot building.
This literally proves that most dogs can be easily fooled. And I'm not saying this in a way that I hate dogs. Though, I hate these dogs that walk on two legs. Just like my mother who abandoned me.
"You keep killing more of my kin!" The Alpha Wolf growled loudly and he seemed to be enraged.
"I'll devour you!"
The Alpha Wolf charged at me and he seemed a lot more faster from earlier. Something feels off about him. He was growling more frequently and his saliva was dripping profusely.
[ Warning: Subject nearby has entered rage mode. Please take caution. ]
What? What rage mode? Is that like a buff of some sort on monsters or humans?
I quickly made my sword disappear and opened up my stats menu. I had exactly 200 coins to spend on stamina and speed which costs 50 coins each.
I upgraded both and had 100 coins left. The Alpha Wolf was slowly, but surely falling behind until it started running on two legs.
What surprised me, is that the Alpha Wolf ran to a car. Is he going to drive? But no, he lifted the car and threw it at the entrance to the exit of the second floor parking lot.
I was thinking of jumping over the car, but this Alpha Wolf really wants to kill me and threw another car above it.
"No more escape for you, fodder!"
Not really. Although I could escape the third floor, I'm not sure about escaping the second floor, either way, I'm going to try.
So, I stabbed my sword on the floor of the third floor and started running towards the edge to jump off to.
Once I had jumped off of the edge, a string of light connected from my palm to the sword.
I landed to the ground safely due to the string connected from the sword and my palm. Though I managed to do it safely, I didn't expect the string to stretch longer.
But I did expect the Alpha Wolf to still catch up, but it's all good now since I have a bit more space.
