I managed to escape the wolves' den, I still had to continue running.
"Come back here or I'll call more wolves!"
Heh, dumb wolf. He can call more wolves, but that'll only lead to me getting more coins and get stronger equipment which would eventually lead to his death.
The Alpha Wolf actually howled to call in for more wolves, but none responded which confused both of us.
"Were those the last of yours?"
"No, there are more of them. There are tens of thousands of us that escaped the cracks of the Earth in different lands including here."
I couldn't even tell whether I was surprised or shocked at this point. It's more like confused about all the things I'm experiencing in this world right now.
Even though I've been at this for twelve hours and more, I still wanted to believe this was a nightmare. I guess, this is why some people call hope as a disease humans cling onto.
I turned my head and saw how close the Alpha Wolf. So, I ran inside a building and the Alpha Wolf tried to follow, but he was too big for the door.
Both the stairs that lead to the rooftop and bottom seemed to have a dead end either way, but there is a way to the other building beside, so I ran upstairs.
Good thing, the building I went in was four storeys high. It wasn't obvious on the outside, but I was running out of stamina so I had to end this quickly or at least, get away quickly.
Once I made it to the fourth floor, I could hear the Alpha Wolf's steps getting louder every second, so I threw my sword to the other building and connected the string to my palm.
I jumped out of the window, and just as I thought, I wouldn't make it. But the string connecting my sword and palm swung me to the floor underneath.
I disconnected the string from my palm and sword to quickly hide my trace of hiding underneath a table.
"Hm... I can't see you... But I can smell you!"
The Alpha Wolf started laughing as I could only stare at my self imagery in disbelief. How could I forget these things had a strong sense of smell.
I quickly ran out of the window and jumped out the moment the Alpha Wolf jumped to the same building.
Moments after running, the Alpha Wolf caught up to me again. It's either I fight this thing or run away.
Both had low chances of me surviving, but I'll try fighting it. Because, who knows if I could win a fight against this thing or not. No one would know unless I try.
I stopped running and turned around while summoning my sword on my hand.
"Mustered up enough courage, human? Or have you realized that you can't outrun me!"
The Alpha Wolf immediately lunged to try and land a quick slash on me with his claws, but I immediately dodged before trying to hit him with a sword from behind.
I hit him, but it seemed like I did no damage. As expected, the rage mode buffs up everying.
"Foolish."
The Alpha Wolf sent a strong fist to my stomach and sent me flying to crashing to a glass window.
"Sheesh, that one hurts..."
When I was about to stand up, a shadow from above suddenly covers me. I look up and saw the wolf lunging at me again.
I immediately rolled to the side and quickly stood up to run away, now that I have concluded my answer for the question earlier. I can't win a fight against this thing.
Just as earlier, the Alpha Wolf kept chasing after me, even faster on all four.
But a wise man once said, "When you can't run away from your problems, you're not running fast enough."
So, I ran faster than my parents even though I was going to run out of stamina at a faster rate.
I deployed [ Momentary Shield ] between me and the Alpha Wolf, but he just tore through it easily. From that point on, I knew that I had to take the gamble.
With my last 100 coins, I unlocked my passive talent branch. I had a feeling I would like my starter skill, and ever since I was young, most of my intuitions were always correct.
[ Do you really wish to spend 100 coins to unlock the passive talent branch? Choices: Yes or No ]
[ Yes. ]
After buying my passive talent, I immediately felt something coming at my leg, so I jumped and avoided my legs being cut off by some claws.
[ Passive Talent Skill; Sixth Sense: Unlocked. ]
"Not bad! You're getting used to this new look!"
"No, just unlocked something."
"Let's fight."
"Hoho, are you challenging me?"
"Come." I raised my hand and taunted the Alpha Wolf to come and attack me.
From the taunting I did, I could clearly see that the Alpha Wolf was really provoked right now.
This furious Alpha Wolf just straight up charged at me and I doubt he planned what to do.
He went for a swift front slash which I easily dodged with the help of my new passive skill.
"How are you going to defeat me when your sword won't make a scratch on me?" He turned around with a smile on his face.
"I'll find out eventually. I'm quite sure of it."
The Alpha Wolf continued his slashes against me and they were either blocked by my sword or dodged.
It took quite some time for him to have enough of his attempt to slash me.
"How am I not hitting you?!"
It was written all over the Alpha Wolf's face, he was confused, and much more furious than earlier.
"The answer to that question is unnecessary."
The Alpha Wolf started once again, but I wasn't able to dodge this one in time all because of a heartbeat.
I fell to the ground, clutching onto my wounded arm. Thankfully, the wound itself was not deep.
The Alpha Wolf started laughing sinisterly as he walks toward me, pointing his sharp claws at his neck to signify my death which kind of surprised me to see a stupidly strong dog do that.
"I'll turn you into food for my remaining kin. You're going to die by these claws of mine, right here and right now—"
Before this stupid dog could finish his sentence, ironically, a spear pierced through his chest in the blink of an eye.
The Alpha Wolf fell down and we looked at each other with wide eyes.
"Did... Did you do this... stupid human...?"
"What? No... But isn't it ironic." I showed the Alpha Wolf a smug grin on my face while he was stuck there with a spear to his chest.
"Is it just me, or is the air getting colder? I'm not sure about those, but your body sure is getting colder."
"I've made it just in time."
I almost screamed like a little girl when I heard the voice of a woman from behind.
But what scares me is that she just walked up to me or something without making any sounds.
"Who is she?" I asked myself inside my mind, not a single word coming out of my mouth from the aura this woman was bringing.
