The trio stood in a fighting stance.
Lucas climbed a tree and positioned himself on a branch. He positioned his bow and arrow and got ready to fire.
Casey stood in the middle of the path with her sword in her hand. And Lucy sat on the floor behind Casey as she tried to recover her mana.
….....…
A minute and a half later.
Different elemental beams could be seen flying around.
The horned wolves were not as powerful as the master but they were too much.
The wolves who wanted to ambush the trio had joined the frenzy thirty seconds earlier.
The wolves were all F- rank with two F rank.
Lucas, Lucy and Casey stood in a triangular formation with Casey in the front and the duo at the sides.
Lucas and Casey sent long ranged attacks to distract and injure the wolves while Casey finished them off.
"How many are remaining? " Lucas asked while gritting his teeth.
"Only twelve are capable of fighting, four are dead and four are severely injured."Casey replied.
Even with the result the trio was not happy. They knew that even though it looked like they had the upper hand they didn't.
The trio's attacks started becoming slower, their energy was running out quickly and their stamina was being depleted.
...…
I have to hold on only sixty more seconds.
A minute might seem like a short time but for people who have magic and can move at super speed a minute is very long to them.
"Let's go all out and break free from their encirclement ". Casey shouted as she charged forward with the duo following closely behind her.
Lucas has long since forsaken his arrow and bow since they didn't do much damage. He coated his fists with raw energy and used it to attack.
Since Lucas didn't have a talent skill all he could do was manipulate the raw energy flowing through his body but without a talent he could not use it effectively only using it to punch or infusing it in an arrow to make it move faster and sharper.
The wolves were pushed back or injured after a punch as a result of his superior physical strength.
'BANG'
Casey was sent flying by one of the two F rank wolf. She landed heavily on the floor and she sprang back up.
The wolves eyes glinted with killing intent as it let out a small growl and they surrounded her.
Lucas and Lucy were surrounded by six F- rank wolves while Casey was surrounded by the two F rank and four F- rank wolves. The rest were dead.
"Let's go all out!! ". Lucas commanded with a shout.
Suddenly casey's body got covered by a yellow aura and she activated her talent to the fullest, a brown, blue and red aura covered Lucy as she suddenly awakened her third element, and a white aura covered lucas as a result of his lack of element.
The trio fought valiantly with all their strength but they were still outnumbered.
Lucas and Lucy managed to push back the wolves and regroup with Casey but in the middle of the fight Lucas body tensed up and he froze.
"Lucas!!!, what are you doing ". Casey shouted.
But Lucas didn't answer. A F rank wolf saw this and shot out an elemental attack at him.
He was sent flying and he hit his back on a tree.
"Lucas !!!! ". Lucy shouted as she ran towards him but an elemental attack also hit her, sending her flying beside lucas.
Casey gritted her teeth as she slowly retreated towards the unconscious Lucas and injured Lucy.
....
In a tunnel made of different colors a young man could be seen flying toward a white light which seemed to be the end of the tunnel.
"I'm almost there" he said and his body suddenly accelerated and finally he disappeared into the light.
...
Lucas opened his eyes but his gaze was different. He eyes looked more mature as every ounce of childish was cleared from it.
He stood up and examined his body.
"So this is my awakening ?". Alex said.
[Welcome host]
Lucas saw a green screen appear in front of his eyes.
" Hmm, if I that god hadn't told me about the system I might have freaked out ".
[Ding
Quest: kill all horned wolf and save the girls.
Reward :XP points and five stat points.
Punishment :Death ].
"Oh!, A quest immediately I just started. That's intriguing ". He voiced our in surprise.
" Lucas !!! If you are awake then help me ". Casey shouted desperately.
Alex looked at her with a calm expression as he muttered "Lucas?, so I am Lucas in this world and she must be one of the girls and this one sleeping should be the other ".
" Hey system, why can't I remember anything from this life ? ".
[Your memories are sealed for the mean time. I will explain everything later but for now complete the quest].
"LUCAS!!!". Casey shouted.
Lucas woke up from his reverie and he glanced at her.
