Chapter 148 To Be The Best! (1/2)

'Tree, Tree, Tree'

Michael kept thinking of that word inside his head, as the jaws of the wolves are just behind him.

Swoosh! Snap!

Michael just managed to dodge the jaws of the wolf in time as he executed his skill Shadow Blur to once again increase the distance between them and the wolves chasing after him.

But the unfortunate thing for him is that the five wolves had grown to over fifty and its still increasing as Michael could hear the wolf howls coming from different directions.

”Tree!” Michael yelled in delight as his gaze finally landed on the tallest tree among the trees around him, this particular tree has been something he's looking forward to along the way.

Swoosh!

Michael's grappling hook quickly flew away from him and wrapped around one of the tree branches as the device quickly pulled him towards the other end of the rope, and as he once again increased the distance between him and the swarm of wolves even if it's for just a little bit.

”Shit, It seems I'm gonna really die this time” Michael continued sprinting while the three cubs on his arms are whining in anxiety.

Michael looked towards his back, towards the monsters chasing after him.

”Shit, this is really a bad idea in so many ways!” he bitterly smiled at the shortening distance between them, and sadly all of his escape skills are all on cooldown, and him being able to escape this far from the pursuit of this speed type monsters is already a miracle in itself.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Just when Michael was about to accept his defeat and death, he suddenly heard a huge rumbling sound heading towards him from the front.

”Kill! Kill these bastards!”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

”Oh shit!” Michael quickly ducked down on the ground and hid behind a huge log lying on the ground as a huge shadow flew past above him, then another, then another, then many more!

It was the famed wolf cavalry of the Sunrise Empire!

A mixed cavalry of Blood Wolves and Highland Wolves, that can be found in the high mountains in the east of the empire.

”Where the heck did those wolves come from?” Michael yelled as he remembered that there were only a few wolves when the expedition started, but now there are literally hundreds of soldiers mounted at the back of their gigantic wolves.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The swarm of monstrous wolves and the wolf cavalry collided against each other, as the sounds of flesh being sliced and tore, as roars, whines mixed together at the chaos before Michael.

”Holy mother of god, this group of people are sick” Michael was amazed at the scene in front of him. It was because it was something that he had never seen before.

The mounted wolf and its rider are working in motion like the gears of a machine, the wolf would bite their fellow wolves' neck to hold it down while its rider would deal with the killing blow, and because of it, the swarm of wolves was routed in no time where the cavalry only suffered some minor injuries and with ten wolves covered in wounds.

Then largest wolf among them made its way towards Michael as it stopped before him.

”You really brought us quite a bit of trouble there young lad, fufufu” General Ouki laughed while gazing at the person before him, and along with his glaive covered in the blood of the monsters, which made him even more scary holding that.

*****

”So you managed to get three wolf cubs, huh?” General Ouki said while sitting in front of Michael, who's sitting opposite of him while holding and caressing a pup on his arms.
