"!!"
CHOMP!
Ivan's body jerked back instinctively, barely dodging the wolf's big bite, but
SPLURT
The wolf used its claws and swung them down at Ivan, and even though his head jerked back subconsciously, the claw swing landed just below his collarbones.
"Graaaaa!!!!" He screamed in agony, but the claw didn't stop there and began to tear through his skin.
RIII-P
"!!!!" "AARRRRGGGH!!" And abruptly, everything about Ivan stopped. With only his instincts active, his gaze began to snap in all directions; it was so fast that his eyes began to bleed; his gaze then snapped down at the claws that were still moving down on his chest, albeit extremely slowly; his arm muscles tensed, and in a flash, his arm slammed at the massive wolf's wrist, disjointing them; and this time, his leg muscles tensed, and in a flash, he zoomed and appeared in front of the wolf's abdomen; he punched at it with open palms; though it was only for a millisecond; he felt that the force behind his push wasn't enough; he tried to exert more; a pair of black-coloured arms materialised in his serratus anterior, and he punched the wolf back with four open palms.
All of this happened in such a short amount of time that Ivan didn't even realise what he just did, except for seeing a ring of strong yet strange gusts of wind appear between his palms and the wolf's abdomen. But unbeknownst to him, the wolf's gaze followed him perfectly and saw him do those unbelievable things, now slightly wry of him.
And with a loud whimper, the wolf got pushed back by approximately 5-6 feet, giving Ivan a second to think about how he was going to survive, and 'Summon!' he muttered in his mind when he saw the pile of dead wolves in the distance.
"Grrr...." The wolf glared at Ivan, and he felt like now it was taking him seriously, and the next time it pounced on him, he knew for sure that he wouldn't survive.
At that thought, his mind blanked, his commands to the summoned skeleton wolves changed, and he turned his back at his enemy and dashed, without even minding the insane amount of pain and the profuse bleeding.
AAAAWWWWOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU!!!!
The wolf howled loudly, which seemed like a death's cue to Ivan, who ran without even thinking of anything but the plan to "kill" the wolf and the way to his survival in his mind.
Strangely enough, as soon as he reached the hundred-meter distance, a trickle of hope for his survival flashed in his mind, and as if to betray his hope, "Grrr..." the wolf's growl sounded right behind him, sending shivers down to his very core.
TAK-TAK
And a sound that had become strangely familiar in the recent hours sounded behind him, and with a wide grin that oozed ominousness, he stopped running and drifted a few steps as he turned to face the wolf, which had slowed down when it saw him stop running.
"Hap!" With all the remaining strength he could muster, he lunged himself forward towards the wolf, which grinned at the sight of its prey rushing towards it.
TAK-TAK
Ignoring the sound, the wolf opened its mouth wide, ready to chomp on the human flesh that was soaked in its own blood, and when the prey was right in front of it, it chomped.
CRACK!
"Kyun!!??" With a strange whine, the wolf glanced down and noticed that it wasn't biting the prey but instead a pile of bones that had pierced its tongue, hard palate, soft palate, and the retromolar trigone in its mouth.
Outraged by the fact that it fell for was such an insignificant trap, it spat out the bones, howled loudly, and zoomed towards the direction where Ivan was running, though the wolf had yet to realise, they were running back to the exact spot where the wolf had first spawned.
With the exception of four skeleton wolves, the other five rushed towards them as per Ivan's commands.
The wolf saw the skeleton wolves run past Ivan and towards it; it got furious at its prey's petty tricks and clawed through the skeleton wolves, noticed its prey climbing on the pile of rotten flesh, and sped up by a notch.
PACH-PACH, PACH
And after the wolf climbed up the pile of rotten flesh, it noticed its prey falling down without any strength to run anymore, and then the prey glanced at the wolf with a terrified expression, satisfied by the reaction the wolf jumped at him from the top of the rotten flesh.
"Gotcha." Ivan's expression abruptly changed into an ominous smirk, causing the wolf to shiver mid-air, and as soon as it landed a few feet in front of Ivan, the ground sank in and the wolf fell down into a two-meter-deep hole, which was very easy for the wolf to jump out of; it needed a slight and the smallest jump to get out of the two-meter pit. The wolf snarled at its prey's foolishness and slightly lowered its body to jump out of the pit trap.
"Hahahaha, huff...huff...you thought I would, huff...let you jump out of there?" Ivan spoke with a difficult smile, gasping for air. He abruptly raised his right arm and pointed at the wolf, and three out of the four skeleton wolves that stood next to him zoomed towards the wolf, jumped, and stuck themselves in the corners of the hole.
"Bone spikes." Ivan mumbled with a crazed smile and eyes that had lost all focus, and as soon as the command left his mouth, all the ends of every single bone of the skeleton wolves became razor sharp in an instant. Protruding into both sides of the wall, piercing through the legs of the wolf, and making it impossible for the wolf to get out. The wolf whined in pain, loudly.
"Bone spikes." Ivan mumbled again with unfocused eyes, but this time the last skeleton wolf that remained next to him dropped on the ground. All of its bones turned razor sharp at the ends. He grabbed them and threw the shorter ones at the trapped wolf and held the longer ones, using them as spears to kill off the growling and whimpering wolf. Eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and neck, he shoved the spear-like bone spikes as hard as he could and finally managed to kill it off.
And even though he had already killed the wolf, "Aaaaa!!" He yelled as loudly as he could and rushed towards the dead wolf with stumbling steps, shoving the spear-like spike in the wolf's right eye into its brain.
CRACK
A subtle cracking sound sounded from the dead wolf's head which Ivan couldn't hear, and a single thought cruised through his mind: 'Food...' He muttered in his mind, dazed.
He moved to the side, slumped on the massive wolf's neck, pulled out a rib-bone spike, swung it down at the wolf's neck,
SPLURT
DRIP-DRIP
He pushed all ten of his fingers into the cut he made and ripped the skin wide open, and without thinking of anything else, he brought his face towards its neck and bit it.
SLURP
"Argh, eeerrrrr...."
He sucked some of the dripping blood off of the dead wolf's neck and drank it without hesitation, then bit a mouthful of the wolf's raw flesh while groaning in irritation because it was too rubbery, making it almost impossible to even get a bite out of it.
RII-P
*
After eating until his stomach bloated, he fell unconscious on the dead wolf's body, whose right neck and shoulder were eaten by Ivan.
Unbeknownst to Ivan, the wolf he had just killed and eaten was being manipulated by the ruler of the "demonic slime" race; it was testing its newly gained ability to infiltrate and manipulate its host from the inside by making its own new connections with the brain, and while it was testing its ability some kind of strong unknown force pulled its host somewhere, unable to let go of the specimen it had successfully gained control of, the slime, too, got teleported here into the Unknown World, and the first targets it found were of the same race as its host, and to test out its own and its host's full strength it killed all the targets using full strength, and strangely enough it soon found a human, a race that would slaughter the slime race on sight, it couldn't bear to witness such a race sitting calmly in front of it and attacked him in full force, aiming to kill the human, just like they would against the slime race.
And Ivan had unknowingly killed the ruler of the demonic slime by cracking its core that was located in the wolf's head, and not only that, but he had also eaten it, unknowingly. Everything that happened to Ivan was a pure coincidence, occurring unintentionally, unknowingly, and involuntarily. But the strange thing was the fact that nothing was happening to Ivan....
CRACK!
Ah! Never mind.
*
CRACK!
DOOMP
SPLATTER
With disgusting noises, the imploded Ivan's body began to heal itself, while his unconscious body lay amid the puddle of his own blood that leaked from all the natural holes in his body and from the unnatural holes—the claw marks on his upper body caused by the massive wolf's claws.
His body twitched violently as it broke, healed, broke, and healed at least a dozen times; maybe it was fortunate that he was unconscious.
And after a few hours of extremely gore and violence, healing and breaking, everything finally came to a proper halt, and Ivan healed completely, except for the claw marks on his chest, which had only healed, leaving behind large scars.
Ivan was now taller than before, his muscle mass and density had increased, his body became more refined, defined, lean, and chiselled, and his bloated stomach had also shrunk back, showing off his abs, but from the looks of it, his skin still seemed like it was stuck to his muscles, and if one looked closely, one could notice two bumps on the corners of his forehead.
