The forest stretched out like an endless green carpet, shimmering under the sunlight that filtered through the dense branches of the trees. The trees were diverse; some towering with bright green leaves, others with drooping foliage providing shade for small creatures living beneath. Small rivers meandered among the trees, reflecting sunlight like silver ribbons shimmering in the daylight.
Wildflowers in various colors dotted the scene, adding splashes of vibrant colors to the green landscape. Small animals could be seen moving among the trees and bushes, some playing while others searched for food. Birds sang their melodious tunes, filling the air with notes of happiness and freedom.
In this breathtaking scene, Seviroth felt inner peace and marveled at the natural world he lived in. The view was enchanting and awe-inspiring at the same time, combining the beauty and immense power of nature.
.....
As he soared through the sky, enjoying the beauty of the forest from above, Seviroth remembered his primary goal of flying: the pack of wolves approaching his cave. His determination renewed, he headed straight towards the location where he sensed their presence.
He landed close to them, hiding among the large trees to capitalize on the element of surprise. He could see the wolves moving cautiously; their leader seemed more cautious than their previous leader.
Suddenly, the lead wolf stopped, and the rest of the pack followed suit, scanning the area until their gaze settled on where Seviroth was hiding. Seviroth was shocked, realizing he had no experience in stealth and concealment. The wolves growled and made sounds of anger that he did not fully understand.
Seviroth said, "It seems I've been discovered. But what is he saying? Oh right, Dragon Tongue, I haven't thought of using it before. Let's try it. [Dragon Tongue]"
Suddenly, the growling and snarling from the lead wolf and the other wolves became understandable.
The lead wolf said, "Come out, lizard, I know you're there hiding. Come out to face death; we will avenge our comrades. Come out, coward!"
Seviroth thought, "Did he just call me a lizard? Is he blind? Doesn't he see all these shiny scales and wings that cover the sky? Clearly, I am a great dragon. It seems I will kill one of them today."
Seviroth emerged from his hiding place and looked at the lead wolf. It was larger than the rest of its pack and even bigger than Seviroth. Its color was different from the usual winged gray wolf; this one was black with a scar over its right eye, which did not diminish its ferocity but rather increased it.
Seviroth thought, "This must be the Alpha wolf. I must be cautious of him. He exudes a strong aura, and not just him, but his pack as well. Though they are not as strong individually, they are numerous, numbering about 50 to 60 individuals. This seems to be a tough battle."
Seviroth stood firm, facing the Alpha wolf and its assembled tribe. He knew this battle would be a real test of his newfound strength and skills. The Alpha wolf started advancing towards him with steady steps, its eyes blazing with anger and desire for revenge.
The Alpha wolf roared loudly, "We will tear you apart, inch by inch, you won't survive this time!"
Seviroth confidently replied, "Let's see who comes out victorious!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the wolves charged towards Seviroth. He spread his wings and swiftly ascended into the air, causing the wolves to scatter slightly due to the sudden attack. He surveyed the battlefield from above, trying to choose the best place to strike them.
Then he decided to use his new skill, "Rage Burst" He began to feel anger surging through his body, increasing his strength and speed with each passing second. He dove towards the ground at great speed, directly attacking the Alpha wolf. Fangs and claws clashed, and the air was filled with the sounds of collision and screams.
In a moment of chaos, Seviroth used his newly acquired strength to slash several wolves around him with his sharp claws. The fight was fierce, and with each blow, the wolves became more cautious but did not retreat.
Seviroth and the Alpha wolf faced each other with determination and resolve. The Alpha wolf, with its strength and authority, tried to strike Seviroth with sharp and fast blows. Its movements were precise and skillful, making it a formidable opponent. Each time Seviroth approached to attack, the Alpha wolf evaded with a sudden strike and quickly retaliated.
Meanwhile, the other wolves took their positions, attempting to execute flanking attacks to distract Seviroth's attention. Some wolves attacked with claws and fangs from behind, while others attempted sudden leaps from the sides.
Seviroth relied on "Dragon Sense", sensing every movement and hostile intent around him. Thanks to this skill, he managed to avoid many surprise attacks, but the pressure was immense, and the number of wolves made the battle more complicated.
Seviroth used his wings to generate strong air currents, trying to keep the wolves away from him for a while. This strategy gave him brief moments to catch his breath and focus on the Alpha wolf again.
The third round was decisive, carrying with it a lot of excitement and ferocity. The Alpha wolf began to change its tactics, relying on speed and surprise. It darted towards Seviroth at super speed, trying to exploit any gap in his defense.
Seviroth, thanks to "Dragon Sense", carefully monitored the movements of the approaching Alpha wolf. Every muscle in his body was tense, ready to respond to any attack. In a moment, when the Alpha wolf attempted to attack again on his wing, Seviroth seized the opportunity and pounced with his claws directly towards the heart of the Alpha wolf. The collision was violent, resulting in a deep wound in the chest of the Alpha wolf.
The Alpha wolf fell to the ground, whimpering in pain. The other wolves, seeing their leader defeated, began to retreat and scatter quickly. The field was quiet, with only the whimpering of the remaining Alpha wolf.
Seviroth approached the Alpha wolf, his eyes burning with determination and power. He said calmly, "It's over."
Then he used the skill "Gluttony" absorbing energy and strength from the Alpha wolf, giving him a powerful boost of strength and vitality. He felt a surge of energy flowing through his body, refreshing his muscles and increasing his strength.
The other wolves had completely dispersed, leaving the place to Seviroth to stand alone, surrounded by the bodies of the wolves. He looked around, took a deep breath, and felt the victory flowing in his veins.
He said softly, "This battle was a real test. It showed me the extent of the strength I have gained, and there is still much more to learn. Strength is not just in physical power, but in intelligence and the ability to use all my skills effectively."
He looked around, ensuring there were no other threats, then began to slowly return to his cave, reflecting on everything he learned from this battle. He knew there were more challenges ahead, but he was ready to face them all, ready to continue his journey towards strength and dominance.
As he returned, he carefully observed the details of the forest, enjoying every moment of peace and natural beauty. The towering trees with their bright green leaves filled the air with a refreshing natural scent. The birds sang their melodious tunes, creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
He passed by a small river, its clear waters gently flowing between rocks, reflecting the sunlight filtering through the branches. He stopped for a moment, drank from the pure cold water, and felt refreshed engulfing his body.
He continued his way, enjoying every detail of the forest. The wildflowers with their vibrant colors scattered here and there, adding a touch of beautiful colors to the green scene. The air was pure, filled with the scent of fresh nature.
As he walked, he thought about the upcoming challenges. He knew the journey towards strength would not be easy, but every battle increased his experience and strength. He was determined to continue, despite the difficulties he might face.
When he reached his cave, he entered slowly, sensing the safety it provided him. He went to the small pool inside the cave and washed away the traces of battle, enjoying the warm water enveloping his body.
After bathing, he sat in his favorite corner inside the cave, reflecting on what had transpired, and prepared for sleep. He told himself, "This battle has shown me how much I've grown, and how much there is still to learn. I must continue training and learning until I reach my goal."
Then he lay down on the hard ground, determined to build a comfortable nest later. He closed his eyes, allowing himself to relax, ready to face a new day with renewed strength and determination.
