Seeing the arrow still imbedded into the wolf's eye, Kobi's brain formulated a plan.
From his palm, more arrows shot out.
'Tch! These arrows are barely doing any damage. System can't you create a numeric display of damage done? And show how much Hp the enemy lost?'
Only two more arrows barely plunged into the the wolf's thick hide. It dodged the rest by swerving left and right.
"Hmm! Lets suggest it to the other AIs and see what they say." Shik answered as his eyes lit up for a second before dimming down again. The other AIs would take their sweet time considering it and reply only after a thorough look.
Kobi focused on the wolf as it neared him, 'First I will dodge an– holy shit, what's that sliver light?' The Silver Wolf howled some distance from him and its speed instantly shot up. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Kobi.
'Shit!' Kobi's eyes flashed resolutely, and a machete appeared in his hands.
Without thinking, he pointed it forward and closed his eyes shut, bracing himself for the impact. 'There goes my genius strategy!'
Seeing the thin blade reflecting the sunlight into its eyes and blinding it, the wolf whimpered, its head advertently shifted away, its glittering sharp fangs shutting tight behind its jaw from the discomfort.
It couldn't even think of dodging and kept charging.
With a boom, the wolf blasted into Kobi, making him feel like a sledgehammer had struck his gut.
His grip on the machete loosened and his stomach flipped upside down, making him retch up. The wolf's momentum drilled into him, flinging him away.
A shrill scream, like that of a chicken being butchered, came out of his mouth as he skidded to the edge of the higher ground.
'Shit, shit, shit! It hurts!' Kobi sucked in cold air. But something allayed him. The pain was actually less despite the wolf's stats being higher. 'Oi, Shik! I am going to spank you later for lying and making me look so pathetic!'
Kobi groaned and got up to his feet, albeit with some difficulty. Shik rolled his eyes and asked, "Didn't your stats rise? Of course you would feel less pain."
"Oh!" Kobi nodded his head with an enlightened expression. 'Humph! Still, its all your fault, you could've told me earlier and I wouldn't have reacted so excessivly! Double punishment! I petition for double punishment! After spanking' I shall also make you write, Daddy Kobi Is Supreme, a hundred times, no a thousand times! Since you, in a way, gave me emotional damage as well!'
"Yea, yea! Care to glance at the wolf?"
'Oh, yea! It's more important than spoiled brats like you.' Kobi shifted his gaze to the wolf.
Shik sighed and rolled his eyes.
A cruel smile bloomed on Kobi's face seeing the wolf standing with slightly quivering legs as half the machete pierced right next to its neck, 'My damage has increased exponentially too.' He giggled.
Kobi rubbed his nose pridefully, "Hahahaha! Serves you right for harming this young master!"
The wolf stared at Kobi hatefully before a gush of blood spurted of its mouth.
Seeing its end was nigh, it raised its neck high, causing a strange light to materialize in its mouth.
The girl, hugging Rio and consoling the poor soul by caressing his hair suddenly trembled and yelled loudly, "NO! IT'S SUMMONING ALLIES!"
Kobi was too far to hear the girl's voice, but he still smelt trouble, "Shit! These big, finisher moves are troublesome."
"Humph! Finisher!? Don't kid yourself, it's nowhere near done." Shik smirked, "The consequences of you letting it finish will be Intriguing to watch."
The light enveloped the wolf's jaw as it let out a mystical and serene howl.
"AWOOOO!"
The wind whistled icily as the howl travelled far and wide, carrying the wolf's pleas with it.
Kobi waited for a while before asking dumbfoundedly, "Huh!? No epic spear or something!? Phew! You truly are just a mob!" Kobi waved his hand dismissively and charged over, summoning another machete in his hand.
The wolf directed its gaze towards Kobi, seeing him charging over, it snorted and rushed over. It still had plenty of fight with its almost half Hp bar.
Kobi spat to the side and roared, "COME! THIS DADDY WILL SHOW YOU THE ROPES OF HOWLING! I ALMOST THOUGHT YOU WERE PURRING LIKE A CAT INSTEAD."
Kobi's eyes flickered as he scrutinized the wolf's undeterred pace, 'Huh? No physiological effect?'
"Duh! It can't understand you!" Shik secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Tch!" Kobi clicked his tongue and focused on the wolf.
"AWOO!" The wolf growled and leapt forward.
Kobi dived down and rolled forward. As the wolf's abdomen appeared in his sight, flying past his eyes.
He grinned and stabbed his machete into its soft, furless belly.
"Wuu!" The wolf's eyes trembled as a whimper escaped its mouth. Silver blood splattered atop Kobi, dying him from head to toe.
The wolf landed on the ground and growled while lowering its head.
"Hahaha! Come! Come! Don't you want to be taught how to howl!?" Kobi slapped his thigh proactively, smiling at the wolf's Hp bar diminishing each time blood spilled from the deep cut, disregarding the pungent scent of blood coming from him.
The wolf's eyes turned bloodied. It glowed with a silvery light and shot at Kobi. 'Too close!'
A sledgehammer like pain erupted from his gut again, coupled with the earlier injury, blood rushed to his throat and coughed out of his mouth.
"AWOO!" The wolf growled and leapt atop him.
It pressed down at him and slashed.
Kobi's shirt tore like butter, deep cuts etching into his flesh. Blood spilled out of his mouth.
"That's critical! Watch your Hp, its plummeting!"
Kobi didn't have the luxury to check his Hp.
Gritting his bloodied teeth and mustering his resolve, he summoned the last machete in his hand and cleaved at the wolf's leg pressing down at him.
The sharp machete worked wonders and actually cut through the wolf's leg.
"AWOO!" The wolf shrieked and leapt back.
Giving Kobi the time to struggle to his feet. Ignoring everything else, he glanced at its Hp. It was down to its last shred.
Gritting his teeth, Kobi raised his palm.
An arrow immediately shot out under his command.
The wol, sensing death from the arrow tried running to the side, but the moment it touched its cleaved leg to the ground, it slipped.
Despite the odds, it managed to dodge the arrow. But their was more to come.
Arrow after arrow charged at the wolf. As Kobi glanced at its Hp losing its last shred and breaking apart into bits, his legs gave away and he collapsed on his butt.
"Yo-You, lolicon, are you alive!?" The girl rapidly bolted towards him and supported his collapsing back.
Kobi gritted his teeth and turned to the girl who seemed to be in ber early twenties and muttered with hate.
"I. Am. Not. A. Lolicon
... You're the freaking lolicon! Your brother is one, I save you and you repay with emotional damage! Pay up, gimme the loli you love!" Kobi meekly raised his palm and waved it with tiredness.
Darkness slowly crept atop his vision and before he knew out, his vision shifted from the girl to the sky before slowly, the light's turned off.
"Oi, oi!" The girl shook Kobi, gazing at his injuries, she gulped nervously while gazing at the wolf.
"The wolf let out its 'Last Scream'. But it's quite far away from the dungeon... how did it even come out in the first place?" The girl's eyes squinted as she gazed off into the distance, far away at the lower ground.
"No other wolf should've heard it, right?" The girl felt her throat getting parched, two sillouthes with sturdy physiques flashed in her eyes, "Hopefully."
"S-Sis, is it dead? Are we safe?" Rio cautiously crawled towards the wolf and poked its head.
"No! Stay away from that, Rio!" The girl yelled, her apprehension still overloaded, "Come to big sis Reka!"
Reka spread out her left hand, supporting Kobi with her right.
Rio immediately dashed to her and snuggled in her embrace
"There, there! Everything's good!" Reka ruffled Rio's hair and kissed him.
Reka glanced at Kobi and after a while, made up her mind, "Lets take him to the village."
"He's a good guy right? He saved us!" Rio glanced at Kobi in a new light.
Reka nodded, "But still do be careful! After all, he's still a lolicon and.. is fine with boys!" Reka's voice turned into a whisper.
Rio nodded his head with a timid look.
Kobi's unconscious body convulsed. Causing both the girl and the innocent boy to tense up. They slowly turned their heads and peeked into each other's eyes.
'He looks the type to jump down from hell to taunt whomever mocks him.' Reka chuckled, her eyes drifting to her brother, 'Thank you for saving us... for saving my family.'
Both of them mentally noted to not get on his bad side, or who knows what this lolicon might do, right? And Rio... he was... young too.
Reka gulped, vowing to protect her innocent brother from this vile lolicon.
Shaking these thoughts aside for the moment and tried lifting him in her arms. But he slipped from her muscular hands and fell.
Reka massaged her temples before holding his hands and settling with good-old-dragging.
Rio also helped by getting in the middle of Kobi's legs and pushing his buttocks.
Shik chuckled seeing Kobi's current self, "Despite everything... you aren't a bad host! We will enjoy ourselves, I think." His smile receded, darkness crept over his face, "At least until... the evil erupts in this world as well."
The wind whislted by, drying the red and silver blood tracks on the grass, etching them permanently.
After a long, long while. After the three had gone far away.
Two Silver Wolves jumped up the alleviated from the slope.
Sniffing the grass, they navigated through the ground until they found themselves around a dead silver wolf.
Their saddened howls reverberated throughout the air, but sadly or fortunately, no soul could hear their screams.
After a while of mourning, the wolves... began their feast.
