Stevanius really wasn't sure at how the werewolf managed to find him. He already getting rid of the blood that scattered in the surrounding because of the fight at the afternoon.
Stevanius also didn't forget to store up the monster carcass, he also already setting up the barrier around the camp before he went to sleep.
That really strange, those alone already enough to prevent monster, since barrier also blocking the smells.
"Nevermind then..." Stevanius decided to not thinking about that for now, he was currently in the important situation.
Stevanius pulled out the poisonous needle from the storage, he then control the needle using a telekinesis.
Dozen or so poisonous needle shooting out to the werewolf when he was turning at the Stevanius direction, confirming that the prey still alive.
The needle flying fast into the werewolf direction, but just as the needle wanted to hit the werewolf. The werewolf are agilely dodge the incoming attack, but contrary the werewolf thought that he already evade the attacks.
The needle are switching the direction and following where the werewolf go.
The speed of those flying needle aren't the problems at all, with Werewolf speed, he can evade them easily. The only problem are the number and the fact it can change course at wishes.
Eventually, the werewolf are getting hit.
One of the needle are hitting the werewolf shoulder. The werewolf ware expecting for a pain when being hit by the needle, the needle are fast afterall. Even if the size are tiny, the werewolf will still feel a pain.
But contrary to the werewolf expectations, after hitting him. The fast moving needles are fell of from his body, it is failed to leave even a mark.
It cannot penetrate the fur!
After getting known that those tiny needle cannot penetrate his fur, the werewolf seems gotten more bold.
The werewolf doesn't evade those needle attack anymore, he takes it head on.
Watching everything happens below when he still hovering in the air, Stevanius are still calm as ever.
The needle ware, in fact, just a white grade equipment. It is understandable that the needle cannot penetrate the fur.
"I should looking for better needle when back to the city"
Stevanius wasn't out of option after knowing the needle doesn't work, the needle probably cannot penetrate the fur by itself. But Stevanius ware, in fact, not even using the full power of telekinetic thread.
'if the nail cannot penetrate the wood, then just put more forces into the hammer! Or grab even bigger hammer!'
Stevanius are just using normal amount of power that he use to attack lvl15 Goblin Chief, it is really far away from his current limit.
Controlling the telekinetic thread, Stevanius increase the power output and force to shoot out the needle.
Few days back when he training and experimented at controlling the telekinetic power better, he getting know that he not yet fully understand the usage of telekinetic thread. There a lot of things to explore! One of results of the training are increasing the power output, he was doing test with needle at that times, he wanted to get the needle flying speed become faster.
And he success, the needle flying into werewolf at different speed this time.
Even with how agile the werewolf, he cannot evade multiple rain of bullet that can change course freely and now was even faster than speed of s bullet.
The werewolf are realized that he picked the wrong opponent this time around, he was doomed.
He planning to retreat, but unfortunately for him. It is too late.
The werewolf feel the intense danger coming from this round of needle attack, his instinct told the werewolf that if he being hit by the needle, he will have a holes on his body. One holes doesn't pose any threat, but if there multiple of them...the werewolf surely will die.
The werewolf instinct are never wronged him. So he followed his instinct and going all out.
The werewolf suddenly becomes bloodlust, his eyes are red and the fur are changing colour. When before the fur colour are Onyx grey or charcoal grey, it now becoming more brighter, the colour are like transition from grey to white.
There also transparent red like energy around the werewolf bodies, it is akin to 'aura'
The werewolf are using his berserk skill, his stats are multiple by leaps bound, this is powerful skills and werewolf rarely using the skill in battle. In fact, this was just his second time using the skills.
Not because the werewolf doesn't wanted to use the skill, but the skill are having a downside. It made the werewolf lose its rationality, and cannot control what happening anymore.
There no way to stop the skill after being activated, either the enemy are perished, either the werewolf are the ones getting killed, or either the werewolf being exhausted to die. There no turning back anymore.
Again, the werewolf are successfully evade the attack and moving even faster than before. Stevanius almost cannot catch up with its movement.
Stevanius realized that the werewolf went into berserk mode, he initially wanted to have easy fight. But it turned out becoming the troublesome one after werewolf getting into berserk state.
The initial passive werewolf that are being constantly attacked by Stevanius without even had chance to retaliating now can even attack him.
The werewolf speed are getting faster, so its jumping abilities getting boosted.
This guy can reach the Stevanius and constantly trying to attack Stevanius.
Stevanius didn't dare to take the attack head one, he can see that the attack are special and he went fly higher maneuvering in the air to evade the attack.
After not single one of the attack can hit the Stevanius that flying in the skies. The werewolf seemed like not out of option.
The werewolf changes the method of the attack, a strange light coming from his claw and the claw are attacking empty air.
Watching the werewolf strange action, Stevanius failed to react in times and getting hit at his right chest because he failed to evade the attack.
"argh...." Stevanius groaned in pain.
Three claw mark appearing on Stevanius right chest, tearing apart his clothes, the blood are spitting out because of the wound.
Unfortunately for Stevanius, after seeing the wound. It is not deep one to the point hurting his inner organs.
But the fact that Stevanius getting hit this far away are still poses a threat to him.
If the werewolf jumping while also using the attack, the werewolf definitely can create deeper would to Stevanius.
What scared Stevanius the most are the attack doesn't have any forms at all, Stevanius cannot see the attack!
The situation seems becoming more dangerous, so Stevanius intended to escape instead of fighting the werewolf.
He quickly flying away.
The werewolf seems like know that the preys wanted to escape, so it also followed the Stevanius.
Stevanius trying to evade the best as he can when trying to 'escape' from werewolf grasp.
Stevanius ware, in fact, not planning to escape at all, he didn't even use the full speed of white feather. It is know already that Stevanius can fly to Mach 1 sleep after upgrading the white Feather relic.
Stevanius are just thinking about the plan how to kill the werewolf instead, he might can escape but the werewolf already knew how Stevanius smells.
Stevanius will definitely encountered the werewolf again in the future. The today werewolf are not going to be same like the werewolf in the future, by short of confrontation, Stevanius already knew that the werewolf are special.
The werewolf are smart, by observing the werewolf from the skies, he knew that the werewolf having different intelligence from other monster, this guy not just evading the attack by instinct, the werewolf are having ability to think.
There also the fact that the werewolf can found Stevanius despite the fact that he well hidden inside the barrier, it is probably also had extraordinary smelling abilities.
Adding the berserk abilities and strange long range attack without any forms.
That are 4 abilities already, it might little too few for monster strong as werewolf levels, but those abilities are still no jokes!
Switching the [Ghost Spectacle] that had monocle appearance mode, Stevanius finally can 'see' the strange attack.
He might not seeing it clearly, but with Ghost Spectacle, he can see the mana flow.
After switching the mode, evading the attack becoming a lot of easier and even Stevanius lower his altitudes little. He also didn't forget to intentionally getting hit by the attack.
It is all to 'bait' the werewolf, of course, he lower the damage the best he can and only getting hit on slightly 'unimportant' places.
The price of baiting the werewolf are just little bit of pain, but Stevanius aren't doing that because of he was masochist or something.
Stevanius are just training his basic regeneration abilities.
Endurance stats can increase one basic regeneration speed other than increasing stamina, toughness, and so on...
But that doesn't mean the basic regeneration cannot be trained. It is can be trained just like other, but the process are extremely painful and can take really long long times.
Stevanius are just killing two bird with one stone, he makes the current misfortune into an opportunity.
Stevanius are already knew how to dealt with the werewolf.
Berserk state like this usually had limited amount of times, and after the duration of the skill effect completely gone, the user of the skill usually received the backslash of the skills.
In gaming logic, there only two ways to deal with monster that went berserk, it is 'kill as fast as you can before the entire party getting wiped out' or 'try survive as long as you can while minimize the casualties and wait for the opportunity'
The key here are 'Survive as long as you can' since the Stevanius not inside s party or this is just a game.
This is a reality, one needs to be smart when fighting a enemy, don't feels ashamed for using cheap tricks. Your survival are the most important thing.
Forget about honour and those silly stuff, because, in the end, the one who survived until the end are the real winner.
There a popular saying that goes 'Dead men tell no tales'
The fight takes longer than Stevanius expected, it is already half and hour and the duration of the werewolf berserk state not showing any sign of ending.
Stevanius body already full of scratch, his clothes already being torn apart everywhere, he also looking like bathing inside pool of blood.
The look of Stevanius really looks like someone who badly injured and on the brink of death. but he was, in fact, still healthy alive and kicking, the injuries that Stevanius received are just light injuries.
There not single deep one at all, other than first attack that hit his chest.
Most of his injuries are actually, already being healed, it is all thanks to his basic regeneration.
Anyway, back to reality.
Looking at how berserk state not yet coming to end, Stevanius went into two conclusion.
One, it is high ranked berserk skills that had extremely long duration, but also had extremely downside like longer backslash, long cooldown, strict activation, and so on... There always price to pay on everything.
Or two, the berserk skill doesn't have duration at all, it will stays as long as the user had the stamina left.
Funny enough, Stevanius was hoping for the second one instead of the first one. Because he doesn't know how long the Berserk state if the skill are the first one, it can be 1 hours, it can be 2 hours, 3 hours, 10 hours, and full a day....
But if the skill are type 2, that all user depended, it is more easier to recognize.
Peeking at the werewolf that following him, Stevanius seems getting an answer.
The fatigue can be seen at werewolf faces, the werewolf knew that he already drained so much of its energy during the pursuit. He feels like he can lose consciousness at any moment.
But the werewolf knew that he cannot have up, he can smell fresh, thick, and strong smell of blood that spread across the area. The smell makes the werewolf droller overtime, making his appetite increased to the max.
The werewolf will definitely have a feast this time!
The werewolf might lose its rationality after getting into berserk state, but that doesn't mean the werewolf losing his consciousness, the werewolf fully aware of what everything that happens, the werewolf just cannot control it's body.
Inside, the werewolf are repeating the same sentence.
'just little bit more...I can last longer, the enemies will fall soon...'
The consciousness that can think clearly just while ago also stated to getting lost it rationality.
The beast are just driven by little bit hope left.
But unfortunately...the determination of the werewolf cannot stop his body that crumbling apart...
The werewolf suddenly stopped, its body fallen to the ground and dark red blood coming out from its mouth.
The werewolf just dies. It even doesn't know that his body fallen apart, the werewolf are completely driven by his hunger, and forgetting the fact that his body cannot handle the pressure.
"well, that was better than i expected to be..."
Stevanius instantly knew that the werewolf stopped chasing him, the sounds of werewolf fallen bodies are loud enough for him to hear.
Stevanius expectation are exhausted the werewolf energy, it then out from berserk state while also being weakened by berserk backslash, that was perfect time to attack.
But never he thought that the werewolf will exhausted to death instead....
As soon as the werewolf died, Stevanius received system notification.
