8 The Thrill of Battle part 2 (2/2)

AHHH!!

Rahz whip his left leg trying to connect a kick against the wolf that had just scratch him but he hit nothing but air.The wolf was too agile, after the attack it quickly retreated.

Standing at the back of the pack, the level 4 wolf looked at the battle field with disdain.He didn't deemed necessary to take action personally.Every time Rahz tried to attack a wolf, the others will quickly attack him in a very practiced manner.

Rahz was running out of options, the guerrilla tactics he was facing were really annoying to handle .In order to break away from the encirclement he inevitably had to risk being wounded or possibly killed.

Despite everything that was going on, Rahz did not feel despair, on the contrary he felt that his proficiency with the 2h axe was increasing at a steady pace.His movements were becoming more efficient and his attacks more vicious.Nothing like the pressure of a life and death battle to stimulated improvement.

As the wounds accumulated on his body more and more, his level of focus also skyrocket.This was it, the feeling he had always long for, this was the Thrill of Battle.

Seeing that his opponent was improving as the battle went on, the Leader of the pack decided to take action.He was observing his opponent attentively waiting for the perfect moment to attack and end the fight in one fell swoop.He commanded all of his troops to attack Rahz with everything they had to increase his opportunities to give the coup de grâce.Unfortunately,the result was not what he expected.

Rahz focus had reach such a high point that his weapon proficiency had finally made a breakthrough.The moment his 2h Axe proficiency reached the intermidiate apprentice level it unlock the combat skill Cyclone.Taking a look at the information of the skill Rahz couldn't help but smile.

Following the signal of their leader, all the wolves seem to move in unison as they attack Rahz at the same time.As they jump through the air towards him, Rahz lower his center of gravity and activated his new skill.The skill quickly drain his energy away at what seem to be a fix interval.When the skill drained the energy equal to a devastating blow for the second time, he stopped the channel and the skill went off.

The first to get hit by the business end of the axe carrying massive torque and increased sharpness from the energy absorbed were the level 3s.They were the first to arrive to the meat grinder.

SPLAT!!!!

Body Parts and half wolvesflew everywhere.Blood cover the head of the axe as well as the snow.The level 2s were yet to arrived but their fate was seal.It was very difficult to change directions mid air and the momentum on the spin only increased with every turn.The level 2s were cut cleanly.

After the third spin, the skill came to a stop.Rahz resume a straight posture and place Mr. Choppy over his right shoulder.There were body parts all around him and blood dripping down his face and left hand.It was agruesome scene.

Rahz looked straight at the leader of the pack and said, ” Ooops!!! I'll try to be a bit cleaner next time”.

AOOOW!!!GRRRR!!! AOOOW!!!

The leader was so mad he entered an enraged state.Activating his dash skill, he rushed straight at Rahz and used bite.Rahz acted quickly and block the attack with his axe handle.The force of the attack sent him sliding backwards but little damage was done to him.

The speed and force of the attacks performed by the wolf leader were 3 notches above his now deceased pack but his attack pattern was exactly the same.Having fought 5 Timberwolves before fighting with the leader was a blessing in disguise.

Seeing the wolf leader charge at him for the fifth time now using the same technique disappointed him greatly.Rahz decided it was time to finish the fight and claim his rewards.

Rahz deflect the attack of the wolf leader exposing its side, then with his knee cover with energy hit the belly of the beast knocking it a little bit back.Rahz then finished with and upward devastating blow.

It was all over, the axe managed to cut deep into the belly opening a lethal wound.The wolf felt to the ground and it's enraged eyes were no more, the only thing left in them was nothing but indignation.Had it not been for its pride as leader that prevented it from attacking, the one losing his life would have been Rahz.

Rahz sat on the ground to recuperated from his exhaustion.In the meantime, The rune of awakening absorbed the energy from the wolves achieving a breakthrough.

Woot!!

Rahz felt his whole body changing as a feeling of warm spread all over his body.He felt better than ever.He could now lift about 210 lbs and felt that his organs were now becoming tougher than before.

Learning from his previous experience with the wolves, Rahz moved away from the area.After running for about an hour, Rahz found himself close to the 40 mile line.Thinking that it was far enough, Rahz decided to turn in for the day and look for a place to expend the night.It was finally time to rest.
