Chapter 16 Monster
Again they started exploring wilderness, after a while they found a group of shadow wolf from tier 1 low to high.
As all they are of tier 1 middle to high and Karn is even tier 2 low, it will be possible to hunt these wild beast because their materials are of high value.
Karn observed the group of shadow wolves, their sleek fur blending seamlessly with the shadows of the dense forest.
Their amber eyes glowed with an untamed fierceness, and the occasional low growls hinted at the danger they posed.
Mrityunjay, always strategic, assessed the situation. "These shadow wolves can be formidable opponents, especially when they hunt in a pack. We need a coordinated plan to take them down without getting overwhelmed."
Duryodhana cracked his knuckles, a determined glint in his eyes. "I say we charge in, take them head-on. We've got the skills, and Karn's thunder strikes can be a game-changer."
Divyanshi, her focus on the mystical realm, added, "I can create illusions to disorient them, giving Karn an opening for his thunder strikes. But we need to be precise and coordinated."
Karn nodded, acknowledging their suggestions. "Let's use a combination of our abilities. Duryodhana and I will take the front, Divyanshi, you create illusions to confuse them, and Mrityunjay, provide support as needed."
The plan was set into motion. Karn and Duryodhana approached the shadow wolf pack cautiously, their senses heightened for any signs of aggression.
Divyanshi focused on casting illusions, creating a mirage of multiple targets to baffle the wolves.
Mrityunjay stood ready, his martial and spiritual skills prepared for any unexpected turn of events.
As the first thunder strike from Karn resonated through the forest,
"thunder strike"
"boom"
the illusioned wolves scattered in confusion. Duryodhana seized the opportunity, swiftly taking down one of the disoriented wolves with his precise strikes.
Mrityunjay unleashed a barrage of golden hand attacks, weakening the resilience of the shadow wolves.
Divyanshi's illusions continued to weave a web of confusion, making it challenging for the pack to regroup.
Karn, in the midst of the chaos, concentrated his energy for another thunder strike. As the lightning crackled and resonated, it struck multiple shadow wolves simultaneously, incapacitating them.
Duryodhan use his sword skills swifty ,
"Grass sword skill"
The battle unfolded with a seamless blend of thunderous strikes, precise martial skills, and mystical illusions. The shadow wolf pack, initially a formidable force, succumbed to the coordinated efforts of Karn and his companions.
As the last wolf fell, the forest returned to an eerie silence. The group, breathing heavily, surveyed the aftermath of their successful battle.
Karn, with a sense of accomplishment, looked at his companions. "Well done, everyone. We make a formidable team."
Duryodhana grinned, wiping sweat from his brow. "That was exhilarating! Who knew hunting in the wilderness could be so much fun?"
Divyanshi, her illusions dissipating, nodded. "It was a good test of our coordination. We'll need more challenges like this to refine our teamwork."
Mrityunjay, always composed, added, "Agreed. The wilderness is full of surprises, and we need to be prepared for whatever comes our way."
Then they collect all the materials on shadow wolf, as they collect the material they realize that their all bag has been completely occupied.
Karn said "okay, let's leave the wilderness."
"This is sufficient for us now and our bag is already full"
Mrityunjay said "yeah, let's go back. Anyway we have already improve very much and know we also need rest"
Divyanshi and Duryodhan also nodded in favour.
The group moved forward from where they came, their bond strengthened by the shared victory over the shadow wolves.
Along the way Divyanshi asked "Karn what are you going to do after going home?"
Karn replied "Nothing, I will rest this week and follow same routine"
"then I gotta go to city lord for special training"
Divyanshi said "ok,"
"what about you both" Divyanshi asked Duryodhana and Mrityunjay
Mrityunjay replied " I will do practice for Nalanda University" with spark glowing in his eyes.
Trio said in unison "best of luck, you will get it"
Mrityunjay said "thanks" and nodded in appreciation.
Then Duryodhan said in cheeky tone " I will do training under a aura warrior, recently my father find a trainer of tier 3 to train me. Hee hee"
Karn and Mrityunjay said in unison " Damn rich people"
Seeing their expression Duryodhana gave them teasing look hee-hee saying like 'so what, I am rich. Can you do anything'
Then trio asked Divyanshi "What are you going to do"
Divyanshi replied "My dad is gonna train me"
Listening that they get shocked, although they don't know how powerful is had dad, but they know Divyanshi come from a powerful so her dad should be powerful.
Seeing their shocked expression Divyanshi said "let's go, we have reached the gate"
Upon reaching gate they see commander Surya talking with his assistant,
Commander Surya noticed the group approaching and greeted them with a nod. "Back from your wilderness expedition, I see. How did it go?"
Karn, still carrying the bag filled with the spoils of their hunt, replied, "It went well. We faced some challenges, but we learned a lot and improved our coordination."
Duryodhana, with a proud grin, added, "Took down a pack of shadow wolves like they were nothing!"
Commander Surya raised an eyebrow in approval. "Impressive. That's the kind of experience that will serve you well in the national college entrance exam. Speaking of which, Karn, the special training program awaits you. It starts next week, so be prepared."
Karn nodded, a mix of determination and anticipation in his eyes. "I'll be ready, Commander."
Commander Surya then turned his attention to the others. "And what about the rest of you? Any plans for the upcoming weeks?"
Mrityunjay spoke up, "I'll be focusing on my Nalanda University preparations. There's a lot to cover, and I want to be well-prepared."
Duryodhana, with a mischievous smile, said, "I'll be under the tutelage of a tier 3 aura warrior. Gotta step up my game, you know."
Commander Surya chuckled, "Sounds like you all have your paths set. Make the most of the opportunities presented to you. The future is in your hands."
As they parted ways with Commander Surya, Karn couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement about National college entrance exam.
