At this juncture, Ethan had come to realize that if he allowed the Specter Forest Wolf to continue its rampant rampage, it wouldn't be long before the tree he was concealed in would succumb to its brute force.
This would inevitably expose his hiding spot.
Rather than waiting for the inevitable, Ethan decided that it was better to take the initiative and launch a preemptive strike while the Specter Forest Wolf was still oblivious to his presence.
Taking control of the situation seemed like the most advantageous move.
With this thought in mind, Ethan no longer hesitated. He leaped down from the tree, launching an assault towards the direction of the Specter Forest Wolf.
In that moment, the wolf was completely engulfed in rage, utterly unaware of Ethan's stealthy approach.
Ethan's fist landed squarely on the back of the Specter Forest Wolf.
He had deliberately held back his full strength in this attack.
