Chapter 361 A Powerful Mutated Demonic Beast!
"You didn\'t really need to help me; I would had easily sliced it apart using the Ax you gave me." Said Eleanora while pouting.
"The wolves wanted to fight as well; we got a whole pack of them after all." I sighed. "Although everyone seems to be handling things alright."
I looked at the fights occurring around me while keeping an eye at the beast slowly approaching us.
"Light Ray!"
Elizabeth unleashed a bright ray of light that impacted a wolf in front of her, burning its skin while temporarily blinding its eyesight.
"RAAA!"
Right after that, Erdrich ran forward, as his body quickly grew in size and red tattoos in the shape of flames began to emerge across his body. His fists hit the blinded wolf\'s head like a hammer, crushing the beast into the ground.
CRASH!
The sound of the wolf\'s skull shattering could be heard, that was a brutal way to kill a beast. Excellent.
"ROAR!"
However, another wolf approached Elizabeth from the back, thinking she was a defenseless girl besides her magic. However, Elizabeth\'s senses, enchanted by her magical aura quickly reacted, as she swiftly evaded the wolf\'s bite attack and then infused mana into her fists, punching the beast in the guts.
BAAAM!
"GRYAR…!"
The wolf momentarily rolled over the floor, as the holy light energy of Elizabeth infected its body, weakening its demonic energy, which was like the beast\'s lifeblood.
"HYAAA!"
Elizabeth used her staff to smack the wolf\'s head, infusing Ki into her weapon so it could easily do more damage.
BAAAM!
"AWOOO…!"
The wolf gave a pitiful howl as it died on the spot. Although her physical strength is not the strongest, thanks to her Holy Light Ki Aura enchanting her powers and giving her greater speed, reflexes, and super effective damage against demonic beasts, she was quite the lethal priestess.
Meanwhile, as Erika soloed two wolves on her own with the aid of her various Dolls assisting her, Eric and Chris combined their strength. Eric used his Spirit\'s powers to control vines underground, catching Demonic Wolves with such vines and then using his spirit\'s newly acquired skill [Drain] to drain away the wolves\' HP and MP slowly, weakening them in the process.
"Take this!"
After that, Eric fired several arrows together, imbued with his Nature Element and hitting the three wolves he caught with his vines, which quickly exploded as they hit the wolves\' bodies turning into woody branches that trapped the wolves even more, not even their sharp and ferocious jaws or their bladed tails could free them so easily!
"Well done Eric!" Chris said, quickly finishing the wolves by summoning his Fire Fox Spirit, which was now looking like a young juvenile than a baby fox. The flames invoked by Chris quickly consumed the three wolves into fiery and bright red explosions.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
And as I nodded to their excellent teamwork, I looked into the distance, as a larger than usual Gray Wolf approached. This beast was definitely a former Alpha Gray Wolf who had mutated into a Demonic Beast. It was around three-meters-tall, and it had three heads, each head had a single eye like a cyclops, but they were enormous, and shone with bright red light. Above all, it had three tails with sharp spear-like tips, and another pair of legs so it could run even faster.
"A three-headed wolf?!" Asked Erdrich in surprise.
"AWOOOOOO!"
Suddenly, the three-headed wolf howled loudly, as several shadows lurking around us until now emerged, ten- no, twenty more Gray Wolves emerged, all of them mutated into Demonic Beasts.
"M-More Gray Wolves!" Erika said in shock, although she was smiling.
"That\'s an Alpha, isn\'t it?" Wondered Eleanora.
"Yeah…" I said, looking at the beast from the distance. "It is nice it brought us even more EXP, but if it hangs around with us for too long, it might become too much of a problem, so let\'s slay it quickly."
I quickly looked at everyone preparing to confront this new group of wolves.
"Everyone, we\'ll take care of the big one, make sure to not die!" I said, I couldn\'t help but smile a bit as I felt my heart beating faster. This monster wasn\'t weak at all, it was in fact, very strong! The thrill of a good and challenging fight really excited my small child\'s heart.
"Eeeh? That\'s not fun! I want to fight it too!" Erika complained, as she beheaded a Demonic Gray Wolf leisurely.
"It is too strong for you guys, so until now, make sure to grind as many levels as you can from this big pack!" I ordered them, using [Command] to enhance their stats and strengthen them at the same time. As I rushed towards the boss, I also noticed another dozen more Demonic Gray Wolves approaching, the pack was big.
"ROAR!"
The Three-headed Demonic Wolf immediately noticed me as I approached it, barking furiously at me. Its three eyes suddenly shining bright red, just before I could approach it, a sudden change in my balance made me almost trip over the ground.
TRUUM!
"W-What the…?!" I muttered in surprise, as I realized this beast was even stronger than I had previously thought.
"My lord!" Eleanora cried, quickly trying to help me, but the wolf pounced at her furiously.
CLAAASH!
Its six legs had sharp claws, as all six limbs attempted to slice Eleanora into pieces. Eleanora gritted her teeth furiously as she used her spear to intercept each hit, quickly attempting to mix into the wolf\'s shadows, only to be stopped by the wolf itself.
"Ngh?! It can control shadows as well!" Eleanora said, as the wolf\'s tails swept her into the ground.
BAAAM!
"Eleanora! Quickly eat an Apple!" I said.
"Ugh…" Eleanora quickly tried to get up, as she took out an apple from her pocket and bite it, the apple quickly turned into bubbles of light.
[Eleanora] has restored 500 HP]
Not only this wolf was strong, but it had a Demonic Eye of Gravity, and above all, it could control Shadows.
Now this is interesting.
I knew this place wouldn\'t disappoint me.
