Chapter 162: The Forest Wolf Variant (1/2)
A purple lightning sprite came out of Lawrend's outstretched palm. It hit the wolves with countless strands of lightning.
”AWOOOOOO!”
The leading wolf and the largest one howled loudly. Its body crackled with lightning, similar to the other wolves in the pack.
”Impossible!” Lawrend exclaimed in disbelief.
This was the first time that he had seen Forest Wolves defend against such strong lightning. Compared to the Forest Wolves that they had met last time, these were much stronger.
Suddenly, Lawrend saw a sapling grow on the head of the wolves. It then grew into small trees that towered over their heads. It was lush and full of vitality.
”What kind of Forest Wolves are they?” Lawrend turned his head to Joseph and asked.
”They should be a variant. A Plant-variant to be exact,” Joseph replied to Lawrend.
”That's the first time I have heard of this,” Lawrend replied. He was taken aback that there were actually variants to monsters.
”Yes. Normal Forest Wolves are only capable of attacking using their powerful jaws and sharp teeth. These ones are capable of using plant magic,” Joseph explained to Lawrend.
”It's coming!” Lawrend shouted in alarm.
He opened his palm towards the Forest Wolf in the lead and shot a Shock Arc towards it.
BOOM!
A lightning bolt hit the wolf. It crackled and broke its skin.
”Awooo!” The wolf howled in pain. It tumbled on the ground and stopped in front of Lawrend. The other wolves stayed away and observed Lawrend warily.
They started circling around him, and Lawrend slowly backed away cautiously. One of its members nudged the wolf that had been hit by his Shock Arc spell.
”Awo?” It asked sorrowfully.
Sadly, the wolf didn't respond anymore. Blood slowly poured under its body as it bled out.
”Huh? My Shock Arc spell is more effective,” Lawrend exclaimed to himself in shock. Wasn't his True Mage spell supposed to be stronger than his Beginner Mage Spell?
'It's probably because my lightning mana is more concentrated in my Shock Arc spell,' Lawrend hypothesized.
His lightning mana in his Lightning Sprite True Mage Spell is a spread-out form of his Shock Arc Beginner Mage Spell. Unless he can figure out a way to somehow amplify the lightning mana that his True Mage spell can output then it would forever be weaker when dealing with enemies that has some resistance to lightning.
”Leave!” Lawrend shouted to the other wolves with a fierce face, and he tried to scare them away.
”AWOOOO~!”
Instead of responding, the wolves all howled together to grieve their dead leader.
Lawrend looked at the wolves warily.
”Wall!” Lawrend shouted. Suddenly, an earthen wall arose in front of him. It was created by Logan.
”Good!” Lawrend smirked.
He then raised his hand into the air and pointed a finger to the Forest Wolf to his right.
”+Shock Arc+!” Lawrend shouted.
