Villain Wants to See the End of the Game

Wilderness 2

How would you answer if I asked you what is the most problematic trait of the wolves?

It is their strong territoriality. In the first place, wolves are one of the most dangerous predators on earth, not because they are the strongest. If we talk about the physical strength of wolves, they are below tigers, bears, lions, etc.

However, their strength lies in their numbers and their strong sense of vengeance. If you kill one of their kin, they will record your smell and hunt you to death.

Well, aside from their magical evolution, most of the Red Wolves’ traits are the same as the ones on earth.

And, right now, in my front, there are 3 Red Wolves showing signs of attacking.

“Grrr,” “Grrr” “Grrr”

‘It seems like avoiding combat will be impossible; then it would be best if I attack first.’ With that thought, I immediately started to act.

I drew my bow almost instantly. Nocking a smoke and fire arrow at the same time will affect their sense of smell, hearing, and sight at the same time, which will make me in a very advantageous situation.

The moment I fired both arrows, I immediately put on my mask and took cover.

*Boom* *Pssssssssh*

Well, the wolves are not stupid either; they sensed the danger from the arrows with almost no delay; however, they couldn’t avoid the range of explosions and got injured.

The moment explosion ended, I immediately activated my skill [Dash] and sprinted toward to isolated one. With my dagger, I attacked its neck but couldn’t kill it with one slash. However, my attack didn’t leave it uninjured.

Because they sensed the blood of their kin, the other tree immediately started to run toward me. Even in the smoke screen, because of my [Foresight], I could pinpoint their locations with a range of 10 meters.

I immediately threw two of my throwing knives at them, and because they couldn't see well in the smoke, they couldn’t avoid the hit.

I didn’t have enough time to check whether they died or not because the first wolf leaped to bite my neck.

Most people who are engaged in martial arts would know that jumping in the air and losing connection with the ground is one of the most dangerous things to do.

Because it would make it very difficult to evade any attack in the air, most of the fighters would avoid jumping in the air.

And, because of the wolf’s decision to bite my neck by jumping, I immediately sidestepped and pierced its belly with my dagger and twisted it.

At this moment, [Dash] is deactivated, which would put me in a slightly disadvantaged position if they weren’t injured, but because the other two are injured, their speed is lowered as well.

However, it seems I underestimated the effects of [Dash]. I almost couldn’t avoid the claw of the second wolf. However, because of my emergency movement, I put myself in a very difficult situation and get bitten on my right arm by the last one.

With my left dagger, I slashed the leg of the first wolf and severed it in half.

With *splurt* and thud sound, the wolf started staggering.

Because the other one saw the blood flowing through its mate, she started to put more power in its jaw, but because of her blood loss, she lost quite an amount of power and couldn’t injure me too deeply.

I stabbed her eyes with an arrow four times, and it died.

“Sigh, it seems I am still a bit rusty.”

I muttered and started o drink a potion immediately.

However, it will take quite an amount of time to heal the wound on my right arm entirely.

‘I really missed the thrill of combat. How long has it been?’

Because Joshua used to frequently train with his father and his father’s friends from the army, he was quite addicted to fighting, and it seems like this trait is transferred to me as well.

However, after he started college, he stopped fighting, and that is one of the reasons he started playing RPG games. To satisfy the need for action in his life.

‘I should leave after taking the body of these wolves.’ I thought, and I put my haul in my storage bag and started to search for a shelter to wait until my wound was fully healed.

Normally only the wolves’ fur, nails, and head are valuable, but if I try to dismantle them right here, it would be like inviting them to avenge their kin which is a foolish decision for me right now.

“They must have already started to move here because of the sound of explosions and combat.”

I muttered and immediately started to run in the direction of the entrance to the wilderness.

Normally, it would take at most an hour to get there, but because of my injury, I can’t run fast enough to get there in one hour.

However, it looks like I am a bit late for that because the rest of the wolves are here.

‘There are at least 10 of them here. Right now, it is almost impossible for me to fight all of them at the same time. Also, the leader of the herd must be here as well; they normally wouldn’t go around with a group of ten. It doesn’t look normal, and even if I won against them, it would take quite an amount of time, and in the end, I can be the prey of the thing that these wolves are running from. Therefore, I must flee immediately.’

With these thoughts, I started to speed up immediately, and normally I was planning to limit my speed not to slow the healing of the wound, but it seems right now I can’t afford to be slow.

However, they must have smelt the blood of dead wolves on me, so they started to chase me with hatred clearly seen in their eyes.

‘Seven of them are chasing me actively, and their leader’s position is unknown. The best action would be to drag them to a narrow pathway.’

I judged and started to sprint to the slit I marked on the map.

Because Red Wolves are mid-G-rank monsters, their speed is not much higher than mine; however, because of this body’s low constitution, I need to be quick to escape.

While running, the foremost one reached me and tried to bite me on my shoulder. I parried its attack with my dagger and stabbed it with a poisoned arrow. It may not die immediately, but at the very least, it will not be able to chase me.

However, because they saw the first one’s attack parried easily, they immediately changed their formation and attacked me from three sides.

*Clank* *Clank*

*Splurt*

“Ughhh”

I blocked two of them with my daggers but couldn't avoid the third attack on my back and staggered and fell.

I immediately decided to crush one of the smoke arrows to gain the footing I lost, and while getting up, I threw two knives at the wolfs running towards me, and without checking, I immediately started to run again.

And with that, my escape from the wolves began.
