Chapter 39: A Gang
Nith rolled his eyes upward, staring at the first monster he'd encountered in the dungeon, which was now his home and prison.
Towering before him was a tall wolf, casting a shadow over him. The wolf's fur matched the color of the forest's outer bark—green. Its matted fur appeared so similar to leaves that it looked like it wore an armor of them over its back.
The wolf's light green eyes reflected Nith's hunched posture. It couldn't sense any fear within him, which confused the monster.
Confusion gave way to hostile intent, prompting the wolf to charge at him. As Nith conjured his spear, the monster instinctively widened its jaws in response, revealing sharp teeth with saliva bridging them.
Nith shoved his spear horizontally, preventing the jaws from closing on him.
The monster's strength, however, pushed him back a few meters. His back hit a tree, and a close impasse unfolded between them.
