Chapter 9: The battle and The contract (2/2)
”GROWL!!” The wolf leader who was sitting down got up and growled. He was making his way to Ed.
”Don't butt in Becky!” Ed was afraid Becky would finish this all too quickly.
Ed started sprinting towards the black wolf as well, as soon as the wolf entered his range of attack he swung Murasame in an overhead strike, aiming for the wolf's head. The wolf, however, was quick on its feet and dodged the strike to the left.
These movements were seen clearly by Ed so he gripped his Murata-tou hard and swung in from his right forcing his body to follow it. His body twisted and turned while his sword was getting closer and closer to the wolf.
The wolf wasn't surprised at all and jumped backward dodging the sword strike.
Ed knew this wasn't going to end so easily so he still kept his cool and was looking at the wolf's eyes directly.
They both started moving and sword slashes, as well as howls, could be heard, they both had wounds on their bodies but it wasn't serious. They were dead even.
'I need to finish this soon' although they were both even; Ed knew this was thanks to his level 2 Sharingan. If he were to run out of time it would be a disaster.
Ed brought out his two Kunais and tried to use the same strategy he used against his father, only this time he used a tree as a target for Murasame to get stuck at.
After the plan was executed Ed found himself about to stab the wolf, however, he heard cracking sounds. It was a thunder attack. Ed got electrocuted and the wolf escaped his predicament.
The thunder attack didn't hurt Ed a lot but still caused to get paralyzed for a few seconds. 'Damn it! I forgot he was called a thunder wolf'
Ed looked at the wolf and noticed it was breathing hard, it was tired. 'It seems it can't use its thunder that regularly'
Ed and wolf started battling again; they were both tired and at their limit. Ed's eyes started hurting so he knew his time was almost up and got desperate.
He swung his left sword in a clumsy way, the wolf didn't let go of this chance and moved in to bite his hand. Ed could only bear with the pain and used his hand to latch on to the wolf.
'I got you now!!' Ed then stabbed the wolf with Murata-tou and felt the wolf's bite losing its force.
Both Ed and the wolf dropped to the ground.
'What a tough opponent this was, too bad it's going to die, it would make an excellent companion' As Ed was thinking about his battle with the wolf, his system notified him.
[Host, the wolf can be saved if you both agree on a soul contract]
Hearing the system, Ed's eyes lit up with hope and expectation.
