Chapter 79: The Wolves Den - VI (1/2)
The Wolf's expression cruer as it stared Merlin down Its hatred for Merlin see system
The reason for the wolf's sudden hatred for Merlin, even when it had a perfect next target in the form of sobnny, was because Merlin was currently i technique
This technique essentially worked in the opposite way to the technique used to hide ones presence Instead of hishis influence on the world around hi the opposite, trying tonoticed Merlin weaved in traces of bloodlust to further catch the wolf's attention and et by the wolf's AI
The aggro systeame worked in a feays, there was the typical RPG systee you dealt, and there were abilities that purposefully increased and decreased your aggro Outside of the basic systeenre there were a few more elements that could be influenced by players with the freedoms that New Genesis afforded to the able to verbally taunt and e of, which added to your aggro score in a similar fashi+on to what a taunt skill would do, albeit not as effective
Another element that could be influenced, and this was the aspect that Merlin was currently abusing, was causing the creature's AI to register hi a significant boost to his aggro score and causing it to overpower sobnny's score
Merlin rushed tohile thinking of what happened last time, that the wolf's swipe attack was alility score being incredibly low co destroyed, there wasn't ered before he could prepare for it
The only way he would be able to successfully dodge the attack was if he anticipated the strike and dodged it well before it started, the only downside to this was that if he dodged too early, it'd give the boss enough time to redirect its strike
He switched both of his weapons around into a reverse grip and prepared himself The second he entered the wolf's attack radius, it wouldthe telltale signs of the attack that he saw moments before
As he stepped into what he could only assume was the creature's combat radius, while at a full sprint he suddenly leaned back and allowed his body to drop to the ground The momentum of his sprint continued with his body as he hit the stone floor and continued sliding
The wolf's claw sliced out in a wide horizontal sweep, just ust of wind it produced could be felt by everyone around it
As Merlin slid under the creature he thrust his blades into the wolf's underbelly, the cuts trailed along as he travelled, ending near the rear where he began slowing down Merlin's long white hair had once again soaked up a significant a, an occurrence that was so co in hair ties or a hat
The boss screa our severely, and it began bucking its hind legs while trying to at least harm Merlin as now positioned behind it
"Lets finish it off" Merlin roared as he thrust both blades into the wolf's hind-quarters
He wrapped his vines around the creature's back legs, which at this point had finally stopped sether It held the beast in place for only a few seconds before the wolf had actually s apart
This left Merlin kind of iht and the weight of aany issues, but this wolf seee scythe ca into the wolf's charred flesh, as as the wolf moved, the blade tore into it further sobnny on the opposite side had just finished a set of ten consecutive hits when the wolf began baring its teeth at her
"Dodge i--" Before Merlin could finish yelling out his warning, the wolf's claung out at sobnny
She ju to also block it with her rapier, but due to the rapier's poor blocking ability and her being in the air at the point of i down a hallway and into the darkness
