197 Wolf Den (2/2)
”No, listen to their breathing. It's rhythmic, they seem to be asleep.”
”Lucky...” whispered Chicken.
Just as Chicken pulled out his sword, ready to stab the beast lying near him, Nam gestured to him to stop. They looked around further and found dozens more wargs who were all sleeping soundly. One misstep and they would risk waking all of these wargs.
Christina's eyes focused at the center of the room. According to the bracelet's information, the Alpha Fenrir was right in the middle of this room. And indeed, there was something that seemed to expand and deflate in the middle. It was the Alpha Fenrir also asleep. After assessing the situation, this was a very fortunate event for them.
In general, wolves only needed a short sleep. And with all of them resting the moment Christina and Nam entered warg's den, it was truly a golden stroke of luck. These beasts may not be a wolf but their similarities were almost identical.
An opportunity that should not be wasted.
Nam looked straight at Christina and made hand gestures. ”Quickly kill the wargs and then take on Fenrir” was what the gestures meant.
Nam tried to fight the urge of thrusting his spear to the Fenrir's heart, but thankfully, he's not that stupid. He wasn't sure if he could finish off that monster with just one hit. So, the best move to make was to finish off the sleeping wargs first.
The rest of the Triad and Firebirds cautiously approached the sleeping wargs near them and swiftly stabbed the wargs' vital areas. The beasts died instantly without making a sound.
Only a few minutes had passed and more than half of the wargs were already eliminated. But it was soon cut short when a snarling of the wargs resounded from one of the tunnels, a group of wargs had arrived.
”!!!”
They only had a few seconds' windows left before their presence was discovered. Christina looked at Nam and immediately came to an understanding as they rushed toward the center of the room while the others hurried to their closest respective wargs.
Christina didn't hesitate and made her sword burst into flames with Nam following behind her with his sharp spear. She put all her strength on the sword's tip and stabbed the sleeping creature.
STTTAABBB!!!
The sword penetrated the thick leather of the beast's chest, waking it up as it roared with rage.
RRROOOOOAAARRRRR!!!!
The Fenrir flailed its arms in a split second as soon as it saw the human holding the sword in her hands to deal a very heavy blow. Christina let go of her sword and raised her hand to block and resist Fenrir's attack.
BAMMMMM!!!!
Christina was thrown several meters and rolled on the ground. The monster was furious and intended to continue its attack on Christina but a spear flashed by the corner of its eyes.
SSHHHHTTTTT
The spear shot straight at the monster's head but unfortunately, the Fenrir swayed its head in the fraction of a second resulting in the spear only scratching its face. Blood thirst and fury erupted from the Alpha Fenrir's eyes as it bit Nam's spear and crushed it with his fangs.
RRROOOOAAAARR!!!
Nam jumped back a few steps toward Christina who was trying to stand up.
”Are you okay?”
”Y-Yes,” Christina said as she tried to suppress the mouthful of blood she was about to cough.
Chicken, Maxine and the 30 fighters got into formation as they steeled themselves to fight against the remaining wargs and the Alpha Fenrir. Even though the attack on the Fenrir failed, Nam revealed a slight smile on how they had managed to eliminate dozens of wargs and injure the Alpha.
Nam pulled out his second spear from his back and prepared to advance toward the Alpha Fenrir. He took a deep breath and focused to release his deadly move but the slight smile on his face disappeared as he witnessed what the opponent in front of him did.
Fenrir broke the sword in half stuck in its chest. And even though a part of the sword was still lodged in the chest, it didn't seem to be in pain. The opening wound as well as the scratch on its face were also visibly disappearing.
”Shit! This monster seems to have the power of regeneration like the black zombie!” Chicken said.
Alpha Fenrir slowly stood on its two feet with a height of nearly three meters. Although it wasn't bigger than a black zombie, it's well-defined muscles, broad shoulders, giant claws, sharp fangs, made it appear extremely intimidating, making the fighters break out in cold sweat.
HOOOWWLLLLL!!! HOOWWWLL!!!
”We have to kill this beast now before all of its pack gather here and surround us!”
