Chapter 87 - Alpha Wolf (2/2)
Charlus laid down and thought about the fight. He thought about what would happen if he was higher tier. He would be able to find stronger opponents. The fights would be even bigger. Charlus became excited. He wanted to see that happen.
Charlus suddenly had a thought. The quest he was currently doing did not have any consequences that affected him. It said that Los Angeles would be destroyed, but couldn't that be stopped? If Khione was released, that would mean if Charlus was strong enough by then he would have the most epic fight he would ever have. So what if a few people died on the way?
Charlus shook his head. He immediately took out a bottle of water to wash his head. He couldn't believe that his mind came up with that thought. Why did he think like that? Perhaps the wound he had was affecting him.
Charlus decided that he had to rest. Charlus quickly stood up to finish the rest of the requirements to clear the dungeon. He didn't want to do anything else.
Charlus got ready and went to the body of one of the wolves. He cut the corpse open to release the pungent smell. He didn't want to cut the corpse of the alpha wolf. Who knows if the wolves were afraid that the person there was so strong their alpha wolf was killed. Charlus didn't want to take the risk.
Charlus saw a few wolves come from a side of the cave. They saw the body of the dead alpha at Charlus' feet and faltered.
Charlus saw that they weren't coming near him so he decided to go near them himself. Charlus ran towards them so quickly that they couldn't react. Charlus swung his scythe at them. Charlus was unfazed by the fear in their eyes. He was unconcerned by their plight. It was him or them and he chose himself.
Charlus ran in the direction where the wolves came from after killing the wolves that arrived. He was expecting them to be in a huge cluster.
Charlus reached a large opening with many wolves present. Charlus saw many wolves in pairs along with smaller wolves. Charlus saw the way the bigger wolves were treating the smaller ones and he understood what was happening. The adult wolves were tending to the younger ones. It was a cluster of wolf families.
Charlus hesitated. Did he want to go in and kill those wolves? Killing even one meant that he would be separating a family. Especially killing even an adult wolf right in front of its child would be cruel. But did Charlus have a choice? To clear the dungeon he would have to kill 11 more wolves.
Charlus heard a distant howling. He saw that it was from the other direction away from the huge opening. Charlus decided to turn back. Charlus ran in the direction of the howling, hoping to meet enough wolves.
Charlus ran for a minute until he saw some wolves. Charlus counted 15 wolves. He breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately charged towards them. He didn't have any more hesitation. Not every being could be saved. The lives of the wolf families were saved, at the cost of these wolves. It was a trade.
Meanwhile, outside the dungeon, the party was discussing.
”When is Emily going to be arriving?” The girl asked. Her name was Lily.
”She is going to be coming any second now,” The leader, Ethan, replied.
”Why isn't that guy spit out yet?” The girl asked. Normally any person who died inside the dungeon would be kicked out of the dungeon. Even heavily injured people would be kicked out in some dungeons. Those dungeons were called training dungeons and only existed for Tier 0 and Tier 1 people. It was very rare for any other tiers.
”Do not ever underestimate someone. If he is a tier 3 at this age, he must be a genius. It's a pity he didn't heed our warning.” The leader who was more level-headed said.
