Everwinters Mountains
A group of five men were frantically running from a pack of huge storm wolves.
"Fuck because our luck is so bad, we ran into the fucking alpha wolf!!"
"Just worry about running and stop talking so much rubbish, if those bastards catch you at this time tomorrow you will be nothing more than dung!!"
"You two just shut up and think about how we're going to get out of this."
The captain yelled at the old man with the sword and the man with the spear, but still in his heart he did not blame them, because he was also cursing his luck for this deadly encounter with a storm wolf of the fifth order.
(Even though we went up the mountain quite a bit, this fifth order wolf shouldn't be here, this is strange)
The captain thought silently as he braced all the Oddo he could into his legs.
FOOSHH!! FOOSHH!! FOOSHH!!
The entire group ran zig zag while dodging the ice spikes thrown at them by the fifth order alpha wolf.
"That wolf will catch up with us soon, he's already using his wind element to speed up his speed!!"
The old man yelled at his companions as he saw the distance between the storm wolf pack and his group of five close at an alarming rate.
"Captain, there is no choice, use the space transmission device to be able to call the Supreme Leader or we will die here!!"
"Are you crazy!!, that can only be used once and that's when we find it, I'd rather be eaten by those wolves than fall into the hands of the leader for using such a valuable item!!"
The old man rebuked the man with the spear for the stupid idea he had just uttered.
(Well, she's only been here a year and she doesn't know how cruel the leader can be when those devices are used up without completing the mission)
The old man remembered how the last search group that used the space transmission device ended and called the Supreme Leader to save them from imminent danger.
Just thinking about his appearance gave her goosebumps and a shiver ran up her spine.
"Then what do we just wait and die, those damn wolves are already about to bite us in the ass!!"
replied to the man with the spear.
"Hey, there's a crack in the floor, I can see that there's a cave at the bottom, let's try to hide there, it's very narrow and the wolves won't get in."
Said one of the shooters looking into the distance while his eyes glowed light green.
This was a special ability that he obtained with his awakening from Oddo, it allowed him to see great distances as if he were in that place, and if he focused enough, he could even manipulate the direction in which his gaze was placed, this was not a very good ability impressive by human standards, but that made him one of the best marksmen in the organization they worked for.
When the others got closer, they could see the crack that the shooter mentioned.
"I can see the crack now; can you see anything else?"
asked the captain,
"I can't see anything else, it's very dark and I feel that something prevents me from seeing further."
"Aah!!, it's all or nothing let's jump into that cave, if we die at least, we did what we could"
They all had resigned looks on their faces, either to die safely in the clutches of those storm wolves, or to go into that dark and unknown cave and hope that there is nothing dangerous that could kill them, at least the second option had some value. hope.
"Okay everyone jumps!!"
The captain yelled when he saw that they were already a few dozen meters from the crack in the ground.
In the distance, the storm wolf of the fifth order could already speculate the intentions of these weak humans, after all, when you reach the fifth order you already develop enough intelligence to anticipate the actions of your prey.
The huge wolf of the fifth order opened its bloody mouth full of sharp fangs, in front a mass of ice blue color energy of three meters in diameter began to swirl, it shot out at an incredible speed in the direction of the group of five.
"Dammit!!, that bastard is throwing a big one at us!!"
The man with the spear shouted as he saw the approaching ice attack.
"Here it comes!!, everyone jumps to the side!!"
the captain yelled as he dove to the left.
The icy energy sphere passed through the middle of the group of five and crashed to the ground in the distance.
BOOM!! FOOSH!! BOOM!!
The explosion of the icy energy sphere created a huge wall of ice with ice spikes sticking out in all directions.
"Haha an animal is still an animal, next time aim well idiot hahaha!!"
The man with the spear was sneering and at the same time relieved that the alpha wolf's attack failed like that.
"FUCK, that wolf son of a bitch just sealed the crack!!"
Everyone came to their senses and looked at the direction of the crack, it had effectively closed the crack in the ground with the ice attack.
"Damn! now we are dead."
The man with the spear turned pale with fear.
"Everyone listen to me!!"
The four turned their heads towards the captain.
"Everyone launches your strongest attack towards the base of the ice wall, we all go at the same time!!"
The whole team got to work immediately, it was all or nothing, live or die, they could only do the best they could with the next attack.
The two shooters drew their weapons and poured as much Oddo as they could into them, the displays on the sides of the rifles lit up and a beam of purple condensed light shot out of the weapons.
SHUUM!! SHUUM!!
The old man summoned his silver sword and all the remaining Oddo in his body was poured into it, hurricane winds began to blow from the blade of the sword and the next moment a crescent-shaped gale shot towards the wall of ice.
FUUSHH!!
The common man called his black spear and flooded it with all the Oddo he had left, the spear was covered with a layer of rock and heavy earth, just by looking at it you could imagine that it weighs thousands of kilograms, but in his hands, it was so light Like a wooden wand, I hurl it with all my might towards its target.
WOOOSHH!!
The captain drew his greatsword and focused all his Oddo on the edge, the greatsword lit up in a dazzling dark blue color, the captain swung it forward with all his might, and a bolt of dark blue energy shot out from the blade in crescent shape.
SWWIIINNGG!!!
The attacks of the five men flew in the same direction towards the same point, the base of the ice wall, when all the attacks hit their targets, a deafening explosion was heard.
BOOOOOOOMMM!!
Snow-filled gusts of wind flew in all directions, the huge wall of ice crumbling into pieces in the next moment.
"I can already see the crack run with all your might damn!"
The captain shouted frantically at his men, they were only a few meters from the crack, but the storm wolves were also a few meters away.
Arriving at the edge of the crack, they all jumped without hesitation, at that very moment the alpha wolf opened its huge jaws to try to devour one of them, the old man squeezed out all the little Oddo that remained in his body and created a great burst of wind that pushed them all down.
FOOSHH!! CAANNGG!! (Sonic of teeth clashing)
Spared by a few centimeters they all fell into the crack.
BAAANGG!! (Crashing against the floor)
They all stood up as fast as they could ignoring the pain in their bodies.
CLANG!! CLANG!! CLANG!! CLANG!!
Where they fell a moment ago numerous ice spikes stuck into the place where they fell a moment ago.
GULP!!(swallow)
"That was close."
The man with the spear couldn't help but comment.
AAAWWOOOO!!
An angry howl was heard from outside.
"hahaha stupid beast, you're not having dinner tonight"
The man with the spear laughed, but on the inside, he was terrified and with his back covered in cold sweat, he was the one who was almost caught when he fell into the crack.
"Very well, we are all going to replenish our Oddo reserves, before we go to that cave."
The captain ordered with tone exhausted, after all they ran many kilometers, up the mountain to escape the storm wolves, they could only thank the researchers and developers for the equipment they were wearing, which allowed them better speed in this type of environment Under normal conditions they would never have been able to escape from that fifth order storm wolf, if the Oddo beasts had their physique and attributes as an advantage, then the humans their great ingenuity and all their knowledge in technological advances.
After three hours of rest, everyone had already recovered by 70%, so they decided to explore the cave after calling for reinforcements.
"This place is very dark and feels very oppressive. I hope there isn't a dangerous beast here."
The man with the spear said looking around at his.
"Turn on your suit lights and stick together, be alert."
ordered the captain in a low voice.
They continued walking for around fifteen minutes, the cave was quite deep.
"Captain we already reached the bottom of the cave, there is no indication of any living being here."
"(sigh) That's great we can relax for a while the reinforcements come."
The man with the spear leaned against the far wall of the cave.
"There is something behind that wall of ice."
The captain commented suddenly.
Everyone became alert and looked at the wall, indeed there was something there, it was a very opaque scarlet red glow, if you don't stare at the wall of ice, you wouldn't be able to notice it.
"Everyone back and be alert, I'm going to break it"
The captain drew the greatsword from him and swung it towards the wall of ice at the bottom of the cave.
BOOOM!!
Ice shards shot out.
"This ice is quite old."
commented the old man with the sword.
"Everyone, look at that."
Now at the bottom of the cave what was there was a giant crystal of intense scarlet color.
