Looking at the dead wolf's body which he was still holding in the other hand. Morningstar with the new strength he got from evolving, hurls the dead wolf's body towards the other wolf.
Without stopping, he flapped his wings and with the burst of air from the back, he skidded forward at an astonishing speed. He knew if the wolf dodged that body, he would have to attack.
And thankfully, the wolf didn't disappoint him. Seeing the body being hurled towards him, the wolf lightly jumped higher, making the body miss him as it landed back but what followed was a fist which smashed right into its face, cracking its skull open and causing blood to spill on top of the snow-white icy river surface.
_Two down._ Morningstar thought.
Howwwl ~!
The remaining wolves in the pack howled in fury as they witnessed the demise of their brethren. Their roars filled the air, a sound of rage and bloodlust. And then, as if responding to their anger, the wolves began to run even faster, their bodies a blur of motion, it was like they didn't care if the ice broke open and swallowed them at that moment as what was in their minds was to tear the human to shreds. Morningstar could swear that fogs were emitting from their bodies at that moment.
Not hesitating, he decided to flap his wings in order to put distance from them. One of the wolves opened its jaws, and from them, a sharp spike of ice shot out at lightning speed. It flew through the air, heading straight for Morningstar. But he was ready. With a single punch, he shattered the ice.The victory was short-lived. All around him, the other wolves began to shoot their own ice spikes, filling the air with deadly projectiles.
Subconsciously, he used his huge wings which were two times his size to cover himself and block the sharp ices.
_Shit, I need a plan. I can't keep doing this. If only I still had that Chains of Runes it would have been better_ He watched the wolves drawing closer.
Their fangs were wide open, three were at the front dashing at incredible speeds while six were at the backs, shooting sharp ices. It was clear that those six were trying to hold him back just for the other three to be able to catch up to them.
Morningstar knew if those three caught up, they would be able to fight and hold him back for the other six to join the fray. Gritting his teeth, he put some force into his feet.
Not minding the ice river cracking under his feet, he turns around and starts dashing towards another direction with his wings blocking the sharp ice from hitting him behind. If it was a normal human, dashing across an ice surface is something unachievable, even taking a slow walk is a delusion but thanks to his newfound powers, it was easy for Morningstar so long as he extended the strength into his legs.
Also, he makes sure to keep cracking the ice in order to make the wolves wary and scared of dashing madly towards him. Sadly he never knew what effect his bloodline had on animals and beasts. One of the wolves seems to have gone insane as it ignores the cracked icy river and dashes forward at a mad pace.
Unlike Morningstar whose huge wings were slowing him down, those wolves were not being held back by anything and as soon as the wolf felt like it had reached a point where it could grab Morningstar it leapt forward and bit down on Morningstar's wing edge. This action was enough to stop Morningstar as he felt his body being yanked backward.
The pain was severe and without hesitation, he circulated his qi into his body. With the momentary boost of power, he moves in a blurry motion and smashes the skull of the wolf to death. Not wanting to run anymore, Morningstar decided to fight.
_I have an angel bloodline and yet I'm running from some low-level souls?_ He thought as he formed a fist, making three claws come out from both knuckles.
Without hesitation, he entered combat mode. It was at that moment he noticed something which he never did.
Even though some sharp ices hit him, he saw how his body quickly healed up. It was like his vitality was so excessive that common wounds could easily be healed. But he knew his level was so low that such ability wouldn't last long.
_I have to make use of this chance._ Thinking so, he sidesteps some ices while delivering counterattacks. Sometimes he uses their bodies as a shield. As the fight raged on, the ice wasn't able to hold on.
Cracked!
With a resounding crack, the surfaces of the ice start cracking from their battle point and spreading all over the river. It was like those wolves sobered up a bit after seeing these events. With a howl they turned around to escape but how can Morningstar let them leave?
Lifting his fist and willing his claws to vanish. Morningstar with his fist thrumming of qi threw a punch onto the ice surface.
Bam!
The force from that mere action further sped up the rate at which the ice was cracking. Not daring to delay, Morningstar summons his wings which have already healed up from the wolf's bite and flaps it, lifting himself away. Without stopping, he kept flapping it and heading towards the ledge that he spotted earlier. Although he wobbled forward a bit, it wasn't as intense as before. It felt like he was slowly adapting to the body. Finally, he reached the ledge and landed on it. Turning around he saw the river, which had its ice surface cracked slowly swallowing the wolves. But two were already close to the edge and might be able to make it. But right when he thought they were lucky, four huge bluish tentacles covered in fog shoot out from the river and flare in the sky.
Morningstar could for the first time feel an oppressive aura unlike any beasts aside from the two chain dragons. The tentacles wave in the air as if it was celebrating being free from under the river.
Without stopping, two shot towards those wolves and wrapped around them, pulling them into the river in an instant. The wolves couldn't even fight back The other two tentacles shoot towards Morningstar, who stands at a distance. Shockingly, the tentacles, unhindered by space, surged toward him with incredible speed.
With little recourse, Morningstar prepared to confront them. His claws extended as he gauged the enormous mass of the tentacles, estimating their size to rival three school buses combined. Yielding to instinct, he unfurled his wings and ascended. He felt like if those tentacles hit him, only death awaits.
The tentacles, narrowly missing him, violently crashed into the rocky cave wall that he once stood on, shattering it into countless fragments. Unfazed, the tentacle turned upward in pursuit of Morningstar, who swiftly encased himself with his wings, allowing the tentacles to rush by. Utilizing the close proximity of one tentacle, he plunged his claws, which have also evolved to level 2, into it while contemplating a daring ploy.
At the moment of battle, he gains an insight or should be called a daring thought.
Since his QI isn't that of vitality but death. What will happen if he tries to infuse it into these tentacles?
Will both energies negate each other, fuse or one dominates the other?
