Chapter 171 - (171) Forgot To Struggle (1/2)

With the Direwolves falling back, Geth had the chance to look at his remaining Taming Formations.

Three of the Formations had finished forming. The cage bars closed in and created a cylinder similar to what captured his Skeletons.

Five Direwolves were still struggling in the Taming Formations. Of the seven that had broken free, two had already been defeated.

Geth switched his Curse Skill to the next target with the highest Level. The stunned wolf faltered long enough to receive a head-on hit from Zolis.

The mighty axe slammed down. The sheer pressure caused the ground below the beast to split in two.

Geth was amazed at the resilience of the monster. Even with the Level difference, a blade to the skull should have caused more damage.

'They are using a Skill,' Albus informed him.

”Huh?”

Geth looked closely at the next wolf that jumped at him. He used his Foresight and high Wisdom to spend as much time studying the creature as possible.

'I see it!'

A thin silver film surrounded the wolf's body. It was much like the same barrier that the Protection spell provided.

Albus responded, 'Good. I noticed that it thinned slightly with the death of each wolf. I believe it's some type of passive that only works when there are so many in a certain area.'

Geth was enlightened, but there wasn't anything he could do about it. The most that his party could do was beat them down one at a time.

'Focus on the same target as the others. I can stall these three,' Geth sent a mental message to his Skeleton.

The arrow that had just been fired changed direction and rocketed towards a weakened wolf. The arrow pierced through one of its rear thighs, causing critical damage to its leg.

Geth maintained his Curse on that Direwolf while dodging the three in front of him. His Foresight gave him an edge, but there were still some moments that he was caught due to the difference in Agility.

Even then, his wounds were healed before another hit could land. The worst hit took a solid thousand health from his Protection barrier.

'This wouldn't be going so well in an open area,' Geth looked around at the wolves struggling to flank his comrades.

The path that they stood on could only wasn't vast. Only three Direwolves could walk abreast, but only two could fight simultaneously.

The Direwolves separated Geth from his party, only allowing him to assist from a range. Two of the ensnared wolves were close to freeing themselves.

'I need to create some distance,' Geth decided.

He started backing up slowly as if he were afraid of the Direwolves in front of him. It wasn't the best act he'd put on, but it was enough to fool the animals in the heat of battle.
