With his sword in hand, Shen Wu cautiously made his way towards Ebube.
Though he did feel as if something ominous was going to happen the closer he got to the black wolf who was glaring at him with blood red eyes, His growing greed made sure to suppress that thought.
Right now all he could think of was his lavish future after he killed this beast and became a legendary Evo hunter.
It didn't take long before he was right Infront of The 2 meter tall black wolf who lay'd helplessly on the ground.
Ebube tried getting up but the moment he applied a bit of pressure to his limbs a searing pain would emerge causing him to wince in pain.
As he stared at the man with a crazed look in his eyes before him, Ebube felt his heart turn cold, He already knew that no one was coming.
That ominous feeling they felt was just him using his second ability he got from his follower.
"Fear", The ability was just as it's name suggested, With this ability he had the power to instill fear in his target's.
Though the effects varied depending on the target but unlike his first blunder this wasn't the first time he used this ability.
It was all thanks to this ability that he was able to reach Level 2 by killing bird's and any critter that happened to land near the lake.
Unfortunately it seemed that the skill didn't have much control over Shen Wu, Technically it did but due to his foolish greed, The fear in his heart was the least of his worries.
" If you take one more step forward, You'll be sure to regret it for the rest of your life" The Black Wolf snarled at the man.
Shen Wu sneered on seeing the beast's pitiful look. " There's no use trying to scare me off, We both know you can't do anything in your current state so why not just keep quiet, At least save yourself some dignity in your last moments"
He raised his sword high, The moon's radiant glow caused the blade to gleam coldly, It's metallic sheen made Ebube feel frightened but he knew there was nothing he could do right now.
Just when the man was about to slash his blade down, The sound of footsteps approaching from the distance was suddenly heard.
The unexpected sound caused Shen Wu to falter for a moment, His eye's seemed to have gotten some bit of clarity, a sense of worry became visible in his eyes.
Ebube who was keen to act saw this as an opportune chance, He quickly regained his composure, While his voice turned even colder than before.
" I told you, You would regret going against me, Did you really think a mighty beast like me would be slain so easily human?" He sneered at the now frightened man.
" If you wish to live i suggest you leave here before your fate becomes set in stone and believe me, For this humiliation you foolish humans have brought upon me I shall return it one hundred fold when my subordinates arrive" The black Wolf's eye's gleamed coldly, Shen Wu could've sworn that those eye's were no different than the cold sheen of a merciless blade.
Ebube's words seemed to chip away at Shen Wu's certainty, The closer the footsteps got the more conflicted the man became, he didn't know whether he should stay or just make a run for it.
When the black wolf saw that he was still hesitating, he steeled his nerves while clenching his fangs as hard as he could.
" ....!" Shen Wu's eye's widened in shock the moment he saw the huge 2 meter long wolf suddenly stand up before him.
Though not quickly the 2 meter black wolf slowly got up on all 4 limbs, His eye's displayed an icy cold look.
' Shit!!!!, it hurts, it f*cking hurts!!!!!!' Ebube screamed in agony within his head while forcing himself to look unharmed before the now frightened hunter.
" Do I need to remind you again?, Leave now or die...." Ebube growled, his voice filled with an icy coldness that easily sent a shiver down Shen Wu's spine, Nevertheless he didn't step forward to attack, just standing there to intimidate the man was already far to straining for him.
The more he stood there in silence the more worried Shen Wu became, Moreover the closer the footsteps got the more pressure he felt.
When it seemed like the footsteps where about to arrive he decided that it wasn't worth risking.
Shen Wu quickly made his way to his horse before getting on, With the reins in hand he swiftly rode off into the dense foliage of trees and Bushes.
* * * * *
Ebube let out a sight of relief after Shen Wu had left, Without hesitating he quickly dropped down, he couldn't take it anymore, The pain was just too much for him to handle.
If the man hadn't left he wouldn't have known what else to do to save his life.
Nevertheless with the man now gone his heart didn't settle down, instead he was now focused on just what was on its way here, Due to the fact that the footsteps sounded like that of a beast though not a horse which caused Shen Wu to leave.
Ebube was sure that it wasn't another human so the only outcome could be a beast, In such a big forest he couldn't help but become alert as he waited for the owner of the footsteps to arrive.
********
Not long after he saw an azure glow escaping from the forest, Ebube's expression turned gloomy at the moment, he knew that whosoever was arriving wasn't one to be taken lightly.
The Bushes and shrubs before him suddenly parted and within them, A deer covered in a stunning azure glow made her way forward.
' Why's there another Evo beast in the forest‽' The deer felt startled by the new discovery.
