James was with his team members, Sato, Ryan, and Angelina. All of them entered the mystical forest. The inside was just like a normal forest. There was even the chirping
sound of birds, the rustling wind and sunlight. But as they approached deeper, the environment gradually changed. It become darker, and there was an ominous pressure of some sorts, that was trying to made them heavy.
James had already visited this place with Adam, so he was already used to it. The others were struggling a little, but then they also set themselves. Then they decided to split up. They were in a group call so they were connected and they could see each other's live location. "If anybody finds a spellbook, call everybody and we will take on the monsters together. Of course, the finder gets to keep it, if they can use it", said James
They all nodded in agreement and went to separate directions. James was now alone so he decided to use some blue beetle agility enhancement spells and now he was jumping
from tree to tree at a high pace. After a few moments, James decided to check on others through techno. Sato was on par with him on speed, Angelina was also strolling. However, Ryan's location was still.
James said through the communicator, "Ryan, are you okay? Your location is still on the techno". After a brief moment, Ryan spoke, "Yeah, I'm fine. Just encountered a hord of shadow wolfs. So was hiding in a bush. However, no spellbook on sight". Then Angelina, "Are you a duffer? The wolfs can catch your scent". Then suddenly a drool fell on Ryan's shoulder. He looked up and it was a shadow wolf looking
menacingly at him. "Oh shoot!" he said and started fighting. James said, "Ryan don't to anything stupid, and teleport away if you think there is danger. Everyone, move towards Ryan's location". James took a sharp turn to the east and started running. He thought, "I cannot use shadow movement, as they will see how I
popped from one location to the other through their techno". However, he ran as fast as he could and reached Ryan. And he was the first to reach him. Ryan's condition was not the best. He was not injured, but was sweating profusely
and had already drawn his spear out. It was not like he did nothing, there were several corpses of shadow wolfs here and there. As soon as he saw James, he took a sigh of relief and fell on the spot due to tiredness. "Show these goddamn wolves whose friend has they messed with", said Ryan.
James nodded and then started to cast, "Lets check the new Red Raven spells I acquired
with Adam". Then I casted, "Lightning Magic Second verse, Chain Lightning!". Several lightning orbs surrounded the wolves and chains of electricity started to pass from one orb the other diagonally. The wolves that got caught in the electricity were heavily
electrocuted and died on the spot. Some wolves tried to dodge; however, they were not even on Par with the speed of lightning. The one with the brains used their ability and exited the trap. As you can guess from the name, the shadow wolves have a natural ability to use shadow
movement.
James looked here and there to see where they teleported. Then one suddenly came
from his own shadow. James barely dodged it and it was cut into 2 pieces by Sato who
was using a katana. Several more came from the surrounding tree's shadows but were
all attacked by icy shards sent by Angelina. Then the remaining decided to fled away. Sato said, "That was not a normal hunting group of shadow wolves". Then Angelina said, "There is probably a spellbook nearby!"
