Chapter 172 - (172) A Familiar Face (1/2)

Geth's blatant display of superiority quickly drew the ire of the wolves. The two wolves fighting from a distance ignored the cries of their partners and climbed over them in a frenzy to get to Geth.

'They really are prideful creatures,' Geth smiled smugly and dispersed the hardened mud on the ground.

He'd led the four of them back to where their spiked pitfall was hiding. A gaping hole opened under the feet of the creatures.

The beasts plummeted into the depths of the crater. Two of the injured wolves died on impact, while one was pierced through its thigh.

The last of the creatures managed to land, though not so gracefully. It gave Geth enough time to inspect the battlefield.

The two intact Taming Formations were glowing with a bright golden aura. The Direwolves inside had long since stopped struggling.

The two creatures burst into particles as the cards in his hand grew warm. He took a moment to glance at the cards to see two small Direwolf puppies displayed on the face.

The cards disappeared into his inventory, and his attention returned to the cavity below him. Both wolves were still taking damage every two seconds.

The wolves that remained were all Level 60 or lower. Sindri was tanking the final two wolves on their side while the others bombarded them with attacks.

”Hooooomanded his Skeleton to switch targets to the helpless creatures in the hollow. It only took seconds before the Arcane Archer finished them off.

Thud!

Geth turned his head quickly. A slight vibration could be felt in the Mana around him.

Thud! Crash!

The Mana continued to react violently, and branches could be heard crashing in the distance!

Thud! Crash! Thud!

'What the hell is that,' A massive Mana signature was swiftly moving in his direction.

”Grrraaauugh!”

Angry barks started filtering through the trees and brush as the crashing noises came near. A final loud impact resounded as a massive creature stepped out onto the path.

”Wait... is this..?”

A larger than average pitch-black Direwolf stood before him. Between the creature's eyes lay a small scar that looked as if it had marred itself with its claws.

The Direwolf looked at Geth and shifted its head to the side as if it were trying to recall something. He stared back into its intelligent eyes that shone like starlight.

Suddenly, the creature's curious face turned into an angry snarl. The Direwolf slowly prowled forward, drool pouring from its open maw.

”Yup. Definitely the same one from back then.”

:Direwolf, Lvl 72; HP- 69,420/69,420:

The pressure coming off of the wolf was lower than the World Boss but much more potent than any other creature he'd ever faced.

'I don't think that I can- Wait!'
